Manbao and Bai Shan felt as though they had been swimming for a long while, so long that they were nearly out of breath, and were just considering whether to take out something to breathe in, when they finally saw some light...
Then, the two of them swam upwards with all their might, and upon surfacing, they couldn't help but open their mouths to gasp for air, and after wiping the water from their faces, they looked around and saw people in the distance continuously shouting, "I don't see anyone——"
There were also people scattering the water with their boats, indicating that they hadn't seen anyone either.
Manbao and Bai Shan looked closely and only then realized they had unwittingly swum to the center of the lake.
As soon as their heads emerged in the lake, those standing in the boat searching for them spotted them first and immediately pointed towards the lake center with their sticks, "There are people there——"
