A Daunting task III

The massive root slammed into Alex's body.

"Ugh!"

Alex coughed up blood as the overwhelming force sent him flying through the air.

His golden armor cracked from the impact.

He continued flying until he crashed into a nearby lake.

SPLASH!

His body disappeared beneath the surface.

Alex's consciousness quickly faded.

'I'm going to die...'

That was the last thought that crossed his mind before he fainted.

His unconscious body continued sinking deeper into the lake.

However, instead of reaching the bottom, the current carried him toward a hidden passage beneath the water.

Alex's body was swept through the narrow underwater passage and eventually entered a large cave hidden beneath the lake.

His body floated in the water for a moment before settling onto the cave floor.

Meanwhile, the Forest Sin stood beside the lake.
