A pale blue light flashed, and the world around him changed completely.
Compared to his last, unpleasant experience with the Talisman Array, this pillar of light was far more comfortable.
After just a brief sensation of weightlessness, he found himself on a vast, sandy expanse on the ocean floor.
Xiao Chen looked down at the vast expanse of soft, white sand beneath his feet.
There were no distinct landmarks in any direction, only a sparse scattering of coral and large, irregularly shaped boulders.
He could also see Sea Shells clinging to the rocks, and a crab that hadn't quite managed to bury itself, the tip of a claw poking out from the sand.
This crab was lucky.
Because Xiao Chen couldn't be bothered to catch it.
But the crab wasn't very bright; it actually decided to attack the intruder who had suddenly appeared within its striking distance.
And so it was promptly torn to pieces.
'I don't know which way to go anyway, so this direction it is.'
