The Half-Submerged Island was off to the west of the Thousand Islands Lake. Half of the island was under the surface, while the other half was exposed above the surface. Not many people knew about the island, since they had to travel past some dangerous waters to reach it.

The Foehn Hunter Squad was currently on the island. Zhong Li was good at looking for shortcuts and surveying terrain in the wild, and managed to find a safe path to the island.

They were on a small boat. It was safer to use primitive transportation in the territory of demon creatures. The boat glided along with the current and slowly approached the Half-Submerged Island.

”There are a lot of monsters on the island. Be extra careful when we are on it,” Zhong Li reminded the others.

Zhong Li had discovered the Half-Submerged Island about a year and a half ago. There were some hard-to-see undercurrents close to the island. A few boats had sunk for no reason around the island.

The team soon arrived at the Half-Submerged Island. They went through a dense wood with many red flowers, and noticed a slope going down the island into the lake that was covered in plants. They could see a huge shadow under the lake, most likely the other half of the island.

”Look out!” Big Nose suddenly yelled.

Zhong Li was leading the way. He quickly backed away in fear.

Gu Ying was surprisingly bold. She went forward and cleared the plants blocking the path. She glanced at the thing that made Big Nose panic and drawled, ”What's with the fuss? It's just a carcass!”

Zhong Li took a closer look and realized it was just the remains of a Lizard Demon. There were flies circling above it. It had obviously been dead for some time.

They crossed the dead body and continued forward. They saw another dead Lizard Demon after taking a few steps. The dead body was severely rotted, and even the bones were exposed.

”What's going on here? Why are there so many dead Lizard Demons?” Xie Hao asked with a confused face.

The closer they came to the water, the more dead Lizard Demons they saw. They could not even find enough space to stand on. The whole place was littered with dead bodies and bones!

”Holy crap, there are more in the water. They are all white!” Zhong Li leaned forward and almost jumped into the air in shock.

There was a boundary line between the upper half and the lower half of the island. The upper half consisted of rotting carcasses, but the dead Lizard Demons below the line in the water only had white bones left. The Foehn Hunter Squad had often crossed paths with the Lizard Demons, so they could identify them right away.

”I think we should leave at once. Let's report our discovery to Yang Ning,” Gu Ying frowned.

”I...I agree,” Xie Hao was a little scared.
