Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Silver Light Cave Dock.

A pitch-black iron ship lay quietly moored.

Called an iron ship, its true name was actually Ferry Boat.

This was a magic tool Taiyin Jushi had specially refined for fishing, bearing not only spirit patterns but also a considerable number of effects; in short, it was extraordinary.

Several avatars had previously come into contact with it, such as Tai Bai, Zhu Rong, and Nü Tu.

Although Xu Zhangqing had seen it more than once, he had always refrained from rashly contacting it.

Now that he had a complete map, and since he needed to fish, he definitely had to activate it.

Immediately, he stepped forward, placed his right hand on the icy hull, then enveloped it with his divine sense, leaving behind his exclusive imprint.

No one knew whether Taiyin Jushi was dead or had gone elsewhere.

As the former master of the Ferry Boat, its current imprint was extremely faint.

Facing Xu Zhangqing's powerful divine sense, it could not even resist, and completely dissipated in an instant.

Immediately afterward, detailed information about the Ferry Boat appeared one after another in his mind.

Ferry Boat

Zhenyin Pattern: Suppresses Yin Sha Qi, weakens surrounding yin-cold interference.

Bishui Pattern: Forms a sealed water membrane, isolating all liquid intrusion.

Mooring Pattern: Enhances hull structural strength, resisting physical and magical impacts.

Purify Sha Pattern: Slowly purifies surrounding Yin Sha, maintaining stability of the environment inside the boat.

Navigation Pattern: Precisely locates targets, automatically avoids danger.

Effect 1: Top-tier Yin Cold Resistance

Effect 2: Top-grade Water Avoidance

Effect 3: Top-tier Sturdiness

Effect 4: Top-tier Purification

Effect 5: Top Water Control

Special Effect 1: Automatic Hull Concealment

Special Effect 2: Automatically marks all Cold Abyss Nodes, avoiding danger.

Special Effect 3: Releases a ring-shaped water suppression wave, repelling Yin Beasts and currents within ten zhang.

After Xu Zhangqing received all the information, his eyes lit up: "Surely a boat specially built for the Yin River; indeed not simple."

Although the refining technique was relatively ancient, even somewhat crude by current standards.

But one had to admit, it was indeed the best choice at present, at least more suitable than the "Giant" in his Personal Space.

Afterward, following the information Taiyin Jushi had left behind, he took out fifty high-grade spirit stones and without hesitation stuffed them in.

Hum!

Upon contact with the spirit stones, the moment it absorbed spiritual energy, the Ferry Boat glowed with a faint blue light.

Five spirit patterns flowed along the hull's lines one after another, as if coming to life; the originally icy hull gradually warmed slightly.

Xu Zhangqing placed the Underground Water Map at the bow, with nine Cold Abyss Nodes marked as red dots, and their target this time was the first node.

Taiyin Jushi had said that on the night of the First Quarter Moon, Yin Beasts in the water hibernated, making it the best time to land on islands and sail against the current.

On the night of the Full Moon, river water surged, Yin Beasts ran rampant, and one must absolutely not take the boat out.

The problem was that the night of the First Quarter Moon was too hard to wait for; neither Xu Zhangqing nor his several avatars wanted to waste time.

Therefore, the only option was to fish on the night of the Full Moon, when the Yin River surged and Yin Beasts became active.

Fishing at this time would surely have a higher probability of success.

Although somewhat dangerous, with three Golden Cores here, they were ultimately confident.

Moreover, Xu Zhangqing could unconditionally trust his two avatars, even to the point of letting them sacrifice themselves at critical or dangerous moments.

Anyway, after half a year, the Spiritual Roots would recover, and then project and differentiate again.

"High-grade spirit stones have been injected; we can begin!"

"Supposedly very dangerous, but the Yin River hasn't changed at all?"

"Anyway, just don't be careless!"

After communicating with his two avatars, Xu Zhangqing moved his mind and infused a wisp of his magic power into the Ferry Boat, only to hear a low hum resound.

Afterward, the water-avoidance spirit pattern on the hull lit up, forming a transparent water membrane that isolated the hull from the surrounding Yin River water.

In an instant, the Ferry Boat moved on its own, slowly departing from the dock and heading toward the first Cold Abyss Node.

The entire process required no manual control; the Navigation Spirit Pattern automatically locked onto the route, and the special effects even avoided all danger.

However, when the Ferry Boat left Silver Light Cave and smoothly entered the Yin River.

The atmosphere suddenly changed, and a feeling of unease arose in the hearts of Xu Zhangqing and the others.

Tonight was the Full Moon; although the silver radiance did not penetrate the heavy darkness, it still triggered an anomaly.

At first there was nothing much, especially in the area of Jin Guang Cave and Silver Light Cave, where the Yin River hardly changed at all.

But as they gradually moved away, especially when approaching the first node, the river water began to surge, and the water line rose by a large amount compared to before.

Originally, the underground space was relatively spacious.

But now, nearly half of it had actually been submerged by the Water of the Yin River.

That dark, cramped, sluggish feeling simply came rushing over them.

The current grew increasingly turbulent, constantly emitting a "splash splash" sound.

It carried shattered stone and remains, smashing into each other wildly.

The water surface was densely covered with vortices, some large, some small, even devouring each other.

This scene finally made Xu Zhangqing and the others understand what "on the Full Moon Night, the river water surges, Yin Beasts run rampant, absolutely do not launch boats" meant.

Taiyin Jushi did not deceive me; he indeed had not lied.

The state of the river water was several times more violent than usual.

Even more terrifying was that the Yin Qi grew increasingly dense, and the atmosphere became increasingly cold.

Moreover, Xu Zhangqing, Tai Bai, and Zhu Rong all used Divine Sense to keenly capture black shadows wriggling on the water surface.

Obviously, this was absolutely a group of Yin Beasts, and they belonged to a relatively common type.

But judging from their appearance, they seemed somewhat different from those recorded in the map.

Tai Bai Confused said: "Doesn't the map say there are only three types of Yin Beasts?"

Zhu Rong supplemented: "Cold Abyss Shui He, Yin Nether Spirit Shrimp, Abyss Bottom Black Turtle."

Xu Zhangqing Thoughtful said: "I guess it might be because this map is too old, so subsequent updates were not made in time."

You must know that after the Dragon Vein of the Canglan Sea Region was slain back then, the Entire Tianyuan Realm underwent relatively great changes.

For example, the number of Water Spirit Roots suddenly increased several times.

Therefore, adding some types of Yin Beasts is No Problem.

Actually, from the time he discovered this Underground Water Map, he had Perceived a problem.

The content on it, or rather the handwriting, was truly too ancient.

From this it can be seen that it must differ somewhat from the current situation.

You must know that they had Not Yet approached the First Spiritual Node, but had already encountered groups of Yin Beasts.

And this thing similar to a pike was not marked on the map.

Fortunately, although they were numerous, they did not yet Threaten everyone's lives.

Groups of "Yin Fish" swam around the boat, occasionally using sharp teeth to gnaw, emitting a "creak creak" piercing sound.

But this level of attack absolutely could not cause even a bit of Injury to the ferry boat covered in Spirit Patterns and various Special Effects.

As the third Special Effect activated, the ferry boat released a circular Spirit Power Wave, Immediately shaking these Fellows to ten Zhang away.

Xu Zhangqing and the three were initially quite concerned, but after seeing No Problem, they simply Ignored it!
