"Big sis, can you find the exit? This slum is surprisingly huge and complicated…or maybe we have been going in circles and we are trapped or something?"
Ainsley tactfully asked the mermaid in a soft tone of voice so as not to offend the mermaid with her question.
The other teammates also began to doubt whether they had already gone through the right path all this time.
The mermaid was confident at first, but she also felt that it should not take such a long time just to cross a slum in this lake that didn't look that big!
Could it be that they had been going in circles or went the wrong way? What if they actually went to a dead end?
Just where was the exit and how to leave this ghostly place?!
The mermaid admitted that she became confused and could no longer say with certainty that they were heading the right way.
