133: Ye Bai is dead?

While everyone was still worrying about Ye Bai, a violent roar suddenly echoed from within the pool.

The roar sent a shock through everyone's hearts.

Everyone stared at the pool. The sound of the explosion and the way the water blasted upward as if it had been detonated left them all stunned.

What happened?

What's going on?

The sudden sound of the explosion caused them all to take several steps back in unison.

They stared at the pool in terror.

Yang Mi, Reba, and the others watched the pool, the worry in their eyes deepening.

Ye Bai... what happened to Ye Bai? Could something have happened to him?

The hearts of Yang Mi and Reba, which had just been calmed by Wu Jing, were now flooded with anxiety once again.

Even Wu Jing had lost his confidence at this moment.

That roar just now didn't seem to sound like the Flood Dragon's voice.

Could there be another creature in the water?

No way, right?

The audience in the Live Stream Room watched the water blast so high, it felt as if it were exploding in their own hearts.

At this moment, the bullet comments began flashing rapidly, filling the screen like a background plate.

[Holy crap! What's going on? Why did it explode?]

[Damn! F*ck! Why did it explode? What else is in the water? What was that roar? That wasn't the Flood Dragon's voice!]

[It's over! It's over! Nothing happened to Young Master Ye Bai, right? I'm so worried about him!]

[No, don't scare yourself! Young Master Ye Bai won't have any problems, just relax!]

[But that roar was different from the Flood Dragon's. Could there be another creature in the water? Crap! Is Young Master Ye Bai really okay?]

[If you have something useful to say, say it; otherwise, shut up. You should be concerned about Young Master Ye Bai.]

[My hands are shaking so much right now, I don't dare to watch.]

The viewers were already very tense and worried, but seeing such a scene suddenly occur inside the pool, their hearts were reaching their breaking point.

This had already exceeded the range of what humans could bear; it was simply a terrifying existence.

It wasn't just the audience who was worried; the professors at the Archaeology Academy had just been trying to comfort themselves.

But now that the pool had suddenly exploded, they really couldn't handle it anymore.

How were they supposed to comfort themselves now?

"Ye Bai, he..."

"That roar in the water wasn't the Flood Dragon's. Could there be another creature?"

Professor Guo originally wanted to ask if Ye Bai could still be alive, but suddenly remembering their collective worry, he quickly changed his tone.

"This place is truly terrifying. It's one thing to have a Flood Dragon, but there's another creature too?"

Professor Qian shared the sentiment; he was beginning to feel curious about the creature in the water.

Based on the sounds the Flood Dragon made earlier, and then the roar that came after that light orb... wait, what was that light orb?

Where did that light orb come from?

Damn!

Why is it one bombshell after another?

Professor Han from the School of Biology, along with Xiao Song and the others, were all watching the footage of Ye Bai's accident.

When they heard the roar and saw the light orb, they were all stunned.

"What did I just see? What the hell was that explosion?"

One of the professors looked at Professor Han in a daze, completely unable to understand.

"Let's set aside what that thing was for a moment. I'm wondering how Ye Bai is doing."

"When the Flood Dragon hit the stone wall, the most logical choice would have been to fall from above. Ye Bai should be in the water now."

"Isn't that even more dangerous? There was just an explosion!"

"He couldn't be dead, could he?"

The professors were all talking at once, deeply concerned for Ye Bai's safety.

Professor Han felt that Ye Bai shouldn't have died, but even if he survived, that explosion just now... Professor Han didn't dare to think about it anymore.

"Professor, could Ye Bai..." Xiao Song didn't finish his sentence, but the regret in his eyes was clear.

Professor Han only sighed heavily, his hand holding the water cup trembling uncontrollably.

Seeing Professor Han's expression, Xiao Song's heart instantly turned to ash. He didn't need to think to know what had happened.

Ye Bai might really be dead... Inside the Tomb.

The water in the pool was gradually returning to a state of calm.

Only faint ripples occasionally lapped against the walls of the cliff.

The water began to turn murky.

Watching the pool, Yang Mi urgently took out a flashlight and quickly shone it over the surface.

But she simply couldn't see any sign of Ye Bai.

Even if something had happened to Ye Bai, a body should at least be visible... "Ye Bai?"

Yang Mi was soaking wet, her face pale as she stared at the pool.

She even called out his name with a trembling voice.

The only response was an infinite silence.

"Sister Mi! Could Ye Bai have already..."

Reba snapped out of it too, but she couldn't bring herself to finish the sentence.

"No, Ye Bai is so capable, how could something happen to him? He must have fainted in the water. I'm going down to find him right now."

As Meng Ziyi spoke, she took off her backpack and started walking toward the water.

"Meng Ziyi, you can't go. The water is very dangerous."

Hearing her, Wu Jing quickly spoke up to stop her.

"Then I have to go even more. Ye Bai is still in the water."

Meng Ziyi's mind was filled only with Ye Bai. A thought even crossed her mind: if Ye Bai died here, she would have no desire to keep living either.

It might be better to die in a lake; it could be considered fulfilling her heart's wish.

"Calm down! There might be other creatures in that water. That roar just now wasn't from the Flood Dragon. If you go down now, your body might never be recovered!"

"A Flood Dragon appeared inside this pool; who knows what else might be in there?"

Seeing that Meng Ziyi still looked unwilling to give up, Wu Jing quickly spoke to stop her again.

"Yes, you shouldn't go in. No one wanted anything to happen to Ye Bai. We should wait for the rescue team; maybe there's still hope for a rescue."

Seeing Meng Ziyi's state, Cai Xukun spoke with a rare tone of concern.

"Right, right, right, let's wait for the rescue team to arrive. If you go down, you might end up with no bones left."

Zhang Dada also nodded repeatedly. He didn't want to move a single inch now. After everything that had just happened, he really wanted to cry.

"But..."

Meng Ziyi's gaze remained fixed on the pool, as if she wanted to stare a hole through it.

Her mind was filled with Ye Bai's handsome face.

No.

Nothing can happen to Ye Bai. He can't die.

"I'm going to look."

Before Meng Ziyi could speak again, Reba spoke up first.

Meng Ziyi looked at Reba in surprise. She knew Reba liked Ye Bai very much, but she hadn't expected her to be just like her, disregarding her own life and death.

Just then—

"Look, what is that?"

Zhang Dada's voice suddenly rang out, sounding terrified.
