Chen Tang gazed ahead.
The oasis stretched far and wide, full of life. Besides the vast areas of aquatic plants, a few tall trees grew around the lake, lush with foliage.
Chen Tang, accompanied by the Thunder Leopard, approached closer.
This lake was formed by the melting snow from nearby mountains, flowing through the valley cracks and accumulating into a pool.
Nurturing the surrounding trees, it brought vitality.
It was already evening; the afterglow of the sunset pierced through the trees, spilling onto the clear lake surface, radiant and serene.
The lake water was cool and clear, as the Thunder Leopard drank in large gulps.
Chen Tang squatted by the poolside, just about to scoop up some lake water for a drink, inadvertently looked up.
On the opposite shore, amidst the thick grass, a few garments seemed scattered.
Splish splash!
Just then, the sound of water arose.
Ripples began to spread from the center of the mirror-like lake.
