He didn’t want to get too far from the wall, but he knew that he also wouldn’t find any beasts that close to it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang had no idea how far down he had to go to find a beast appropriate to his level. After all, he hadn’t even found a weak beast up to now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a gamble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang continued swimming down in the dark lake for quite a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything was silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lake was completely still.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was almost like it was ancient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was this really just a place that a Zone Beast had created, or had the lake been there before the Zone Beast had appeared?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang continued descending for about five more minutes before he stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘I don’t know how deep I have to go to find an appropriate beast to my level.

If I do that, I will die.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang stopped descending and decided to swim further out into the lake from his current depth. He guessed that he was probably nearly three kilometers deep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scenery didn’t change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn’t matter if Shang went down, forward, or up. Everything always remained the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was still no movement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘I need to do something drastic if I want to gain some intel,’ Shang thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang readied his sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BANG!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang released an Ice Blast, turning the water behind him into ice as he shot forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rapid speed at which Shang was moving through the water cooled his heated body very quickly, allowing him to cast another Ice Blast just a second later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BANG!

He just couldn’t see very far.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang looked at the thing he was holding and realized that he was holding the lower half of a rather big fish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang had killed a beast by ramming into it with his weight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang didn’t recognize the kind of beast since he basically knew nothing about water beasts, but he could still do some basic tests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang tested the resistance of the fish’s muscles and the hardness of its scale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Should be around the Early General Stage,’ Shang estimated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Need to go deeper.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang threw the parts of the fish to the side since he had no use for it and descended further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blood quickly vanished from around Shang as he continued going deeper into the lake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He descended for another five minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang continued descending for another five minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘I should be nearly five kilometers deep. I can already feel quite a bit of pressure on my body. I think I will reach my limit at around seven kilometers.
