As he watched his HP drop by 1,000 every second, Wang Tao felt somewhat helpless. Thankfully, he had plenty of HP, 190,000, which should last him about three minutes.
His only concern was whether the poison would intensify as he ventured deeper into the lake...
[-1200]
[-1300]

"Damn! Whatever I feared has happened!"
Wang Tao's complexion turned grim as the toxicity increased once he entered the water. As he moved closer to the center of the lake, his HP dropped even more rapidly.
Initially, he was meant to last three minutes, but looking at the situation now, it was uncertain if he could even last one minute.
The lake's water was viscous, reducing Wang Tao's speed by over ninety percent, making him as slow as a normal person. At this pace, he might make it across in a minute, but definitely not back; it would take at least two minutes...
After a brief thought, Wang Tao immediately took out an Antidote Potion and injected himself.
