Suddenly, a bright green, glittering object appeared before his eyes, seeming to be from inside the broken stone.
He picked it up curiously, examined it closely, and felt its smooth warmth in his hands. He found it very strange, as the surroundings also became much brighter. It seemed to emit light on its own and looked like a treasure.
Excited, he grabbed the object and clutched it in his palm, thinking about the opportunity to take it to an auction to see how much it was worth. This trip hadn't been in vain after all.
He glanced ahead once more, unable to see the end, but he didn't hesitate much and continued swimming forward.
His breath was steady and long, and with his current physical strength, holding his breath underwater for half an hour was no problem, so he didn't consider safety an issue. It had only been a few minutes!
The waterway ahead was winding, and as he swam further, he noticed the space around him growing larger, with the sound of running water in his ears.
