The Sneak Attack

Mo Wen moved quickly and charged into the lotus flower lake. A great pressure descended from above. The gravity in the sky above was terrifyingly strong, much stronger than the force of the secret river they had encountered earlier.

It was extremely difficult to fly against such a force. One would fall into the lotus flower lake after taking a few steps. As such, everyone stepped on the lotus leaves. They moved with difficulty, using the bounce beneath their feet to propel themselves forward. 

Mo Wen realized that other than the invisible force, the torrential rain was also unusual. Every drop that fell on them was like a massive rock hitting them. The raindrops fell densely, and it was as if the people trying to cross the lake were facing an assault of countless large rocks.
