And whether they can accept this strange phenomenon is still a complete unknown.

Now, some people suddenly feel like days are dragging on endlessly.

It seems like every minute that passes feels as long as two hours.

Especially Lin Yaru, with an anxious heart, keeps looking at her watch.

However, after checking the watch for a long time, she realizes that only a few minutes have actually passed.

Such an anxious feeling is something anyone can understand.

"Yaru, you don't need to be so anxious. Just wait a little longer; I'm sure the time will arrive soon."

"I know. I just feel like today the time is passing so slowly."

"It's not about how we feel. It's probably because this matter is on our minds, so we don't know if the time is going fast or slow."

"It's okay; we'll wait a bit more. Most of the day has already passed, so there's only about an hour left."

"Yes, what we're testing now is patience. Once the Swamp Ground is completely drained, I'm sure the answers will become clear."

While talking, Ye Chen raised his wrist to check the time. It was already 12:30 at night.

Based on yesterday's timing, the sound should appear around 1 o'clock, so they were all very anxious, knowing that moment was approaching.

If they weren't nervous now, it would be a lie. At this moment, Ye Chen was more nervous than anyone else.

He was mainly worried that they wouldn't find any breakthrough here, and all their efforts might be in vain.

He didn't want to see Lin Yaru's disappointed look at this moment, and Ye Chen also hoped to genuinely help Lin Yaru with all of this.

Just as Ye Chen was lost in thought, suddenly he heard that familiar sound again.

The sound was very clear at the time because they were right on the edge of the Swamp Ground, and everyone was quietly waiting, with no other sounds around.

It was still that bubbling and flowing water sound.

The three of them exchanged glances, then at the same time, rushed out directly from the tent.

The mud outside was still there, but now it didn't bother them.

They all spontaneously ran to the edge of the Swamp Ground, turned on their emergency flashlights, and illuminated the swamp.

"Do you see? The ground has started to become uneven and is bubbling now. I estimate next, its water level should gradually decrease."

"That's right. It seems the process has started, but if we go by the timing from last night, it should take about 40 minutes, and then the entire Swamp Ground will be completely drained. By then, everything should be clear."

"No rush. We've gotten this far; we just need to wait patiently, and soon we'll see the result we want."

After Anying spoke, Lin Yaru nodded with Ye Chen, feeling very nervous, her hands tightly clenched together.

Observant Ye Chen noticed this, quietly went to Lin Yaru's side, and gently held her hand. Lin Yaru looked up, they exchanged glances, and nodded to each other.

"Don't worry. The result should reveal itself soon, so there's no need to rush at this moment, because even if we rush, it could have no effect."

Lin Yaru didn't speak, just kept nodding, feeling as if she couldn't speak, not knowing how to express her feelings if she wanted to.

"Hey, look, it's starting to descend noticeably now."

During their conversation, it could be seen that the Swamp Ground was slowly receding.

Although the speed was relatively slow, it was still noticeably visible.

"It's clearly starting to descend now, so if we wait here patiently, we should see the results soon."

"They silently prayed in their hearts, hoping to see a new world here, and if this world opens up, it should significantly help with their matters."

"Oh no, have we missed something?"

At this moment, Ye Chen suddenly seemed to realize something and hurriedly turned around to say.

"Missed something? What do you think we've missed?"

At this moment, Anying hadn't yet considered what they might have overlooked, thinking they had taken everything into account, so logically, such a situation shouldn't occur.

"Think about it. If we go down now, we might find a cave, but if we can't get out by tomorrow morning, wouldn't we be temporarily trapped here?"

"Oh, you mean that. But I think we should have enough time to find the problem in half a day."

"Not necessarily. Who knows what it's like inside, what the size of the area and cave might be? All of this is unknown. If we can't leave by 7 o'clock tomorrow morning, the entire Swamp Ground will rise again, trapping us inside."

"It's okay. Haven't we already figured out this pattern? So, since we've figured it out, even if we get trapped inside, we can wait for a day until it recedes again."

"For safety, shouldn't we leave one person on top? That way, we can look out for each other; otherwise, if all three of us go down, we'd completely lose contact with the outside world?"
