"Whoo~"
Shao Zifeng's eyes were half-open as his limbs naturally floated upwards, his body continually sinking deeper into the sea.
The pitch-black seawater exuded a bone-chilling cold, and otherworldly cries echoed melodiously, like a beautiful song reverberating through the deep sea.
Shao Zifeng struggled to open his eyes, noticing the light from the surface above growing fainter.
Under the dim light, Qiuqiu curled into a ball, sinking just above him.
Shao Zifeng wanted to reach out and grab it, but he no longer had the strength.
Whoosh.
The sound of flowing water reverberated through his eardrums.
A white shadow flashed before his eyes, and then he felt himself stop falling.
Qiuqiu slowly landed in his arms.
Before he lost consciousness, an ethereal voice arose in his heart.
"Can you hear me?"
...
The Xuelong successfully navigated through the valleys between icebergs, stopping on a patch of open water free of ice floes.
