The Sheep Has Finally Been Found","guarding-the-river-of-time-chapter-362",362,"\u003Cp>This creature, with white fur, looks like a sheep at first glance, but its horns are unique, more like dragon horns, with a glazed amber hue, glowing with specks of light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its fur is snow-white, crystal clear, like crystal needles, stepping on the river water, gently stirring up ripples as it walks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its pupils are deep, like two Luminous Pearls, very profound and beautiful, and it is about the size of a full-grown sheep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It walks on the surface of the Long River, moving gracefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally walking leisurely, it turned a corner at the bend of the river, and saw a man busy repairing the embankment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the moment their eyes met, the sheep was stunned for a second, then turned and ran away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today, Su Mu happened to discover a stone embankment destroyed by a flood. While he was fervently repairing it, he turned his head and saw a sheep??\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sheep leisurely strolling on the river, for a moment he thought he was seeing things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A water sheep??\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, as he came to his senses, the sheep bolted away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Su Mu put down his tools and gave chase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having guarded the river for so many years, it was his first time seeing such a peculiar creature. It wasn’t strange to see a sheep, but a sheep walking on the river was quite unusual, like a pig climbing a tree and swinging on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This sheep was quite fast and clever, avoiding the main river and instead running through the complex network of tributaries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time Su Mu reached the tributaries, it had already disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, for Su Mu, as long as it was still on this river, it couldn’t escape his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he released his Divine Sense, he instantly locked onto the sheep’s position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In almost a breath’s time, he blocked in front of the sheep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the man suddenly appear, the sheep was startled and panicked, ready to turn and run, but how could Su Mu give it a second chance to escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spirit pressure instantly descended upon it, immobilizing it where it stood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Su Mu approached and examined the sheep, his eyes brightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This sheep wasn’t an ordinary sheep; it was a Spirit Beast. But upon closer inspection, it had no signs of life at all, lacking the characteristics that creatures should have.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This instantly piqued Su Mu’s interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems like it can be brought back for research.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Su Mu lifted the sheep with one hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Returning the same way, he fixed the damaged embankment and secured two thousand Favor Points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As it was getting late, he prepared to head home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After returning home, Nannan, who had finished her cultivation, curiously approached.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Daddy, what is this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nannan looked curiously at the sheep Su Mu was holding, asking in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It should be a sheep, I think.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mu replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Such a cute little sheep.\" Nannan reached out to touch the sheep’s snow-white fur: \"Daddy, why does this sheep look different from the ones in the atlas?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go, take a walk around.\" Su Mu said to the little sheep with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What seemed like a gentle smile to Su Mu appeared quite \"sinister\" in the little sheep’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It sprinted around the river for a lap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Nannan’s eyes lit up: \"This little sheep actually lives in the river?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s lock it up for now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So saying, Su Mu lifted the little sheep with one hand and locked it in an iron cage in the backyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon arriving at the backyard, he found the \"Five Little Ones\" conducting a \"parade inspection.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Little Groundhog stood in front of a group of \"followers,\" delivering a speech.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For this month’s end examination, the ten at the bottom should, as per my rules, leave of their own accord.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But considering you’ve made contributions, I’ll give you a chance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"From next month onward, if you remain at the bottom for three consecutive months, just leave on your own.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the words fell, the five hundred \"little animals\" all nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These \"little animals\" were originally thieves caught stealing medicine from the mystical garden, and the Five Little Ones devised a plan to recruit them, utilizing their value to find various Great Medicine seeds in the River of Time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past year, the garden’s scale expanded by one-third, with remarkable results.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It must be said, these \"thieves\" who dared to steal from the master’s garden possessed some skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A year ago, a total of one thousand were recruited, and over the year, another hundred were caught, leaving only five hundred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although a minimum of ten is eliminated each month, some who do nothing are also directly kicked out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining five hundred are elites, each possessing unique skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Last month’s performance champion managed to find thirty excellent Great Medicine seeds, firmly securing the sales crown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing the master, the Five Little Ones and five hundred little animals all stood straight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t mind me, carry on with your work.\" Su Mu said to the leading Five Little Ones with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mu was very pleased with the arrangement by the Five Little Ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had completely entrusted them with running the mystical garden, which was managed thoroughly, with its scale expanding even more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mu only needed to water it once a month, nothing else required his attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This garden provided all the \"food\" and cultivation resources for Su Mu’s family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So it was very important indeed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After locking the sheep in the iron cage, a mark was placed on it so it wouldn’t escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This sheep can enter the river, and its speed is quite impressive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After securing it, Su Mu said to the Little Groundhog.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, the eyes of the Five Little Ones instantly brightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A good prospect has arrived!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the River of Time’s waters, there were also some Great Medicines, an area they had not yet explored!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like that, this sheep was inexplicably recruited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It became a \"worker.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to its ability to walk on the River of Time, it was highly favored by the Five Little Ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next month’s assessment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It directly defeated the previous sales champion, securing the top spot with fifty Great Medicine seeds in a month.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It became a popular figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Five Little Ones even gave it a nickname, \"Little Sheep Ah Fei.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because it ran very fast on the river, looking like it was flying close to the surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Remember, it was the River of Time, yet Ah Fei, seemingly harmless to humans and animals, with no apparent strength, ran so quickly on the River of Time??\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lost it again!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon the Long River, a man stood on the water, cursing.\u003C\u002Fp>",1140,"2026-05-29T18:57:15.942Z","2026-06-01T04:30:00.195Z",1,"novelbin.me","f72258458742c64e45e57700f64f5ed8b277f8e67f28eb7c33e563038752162d","guarding-the-river-of-time-chapter-363","guarding-the-river-of-time-chapter-361",583,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fguarding-the-river-of-time-cover.jpg"]
