Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

A half-rotten ancient ship was pushed by the current, like an out-of-control battering ram crashing back and forth.

Rotten chains whipped up, striking the water surface non-stop with "pa pa" sounds, noisy and splashing large amounts of cold water droplets.

Several giant beast bones were rolled wildly by the turbulent current; unknown liquid seeping from the bone gaps spread in the water, forming patches of viscous substance.

From somewhere drifted some old spirit talismans glowing with a dark green light; they curled into a ball, twisted runes resonating, stirring up waves of Yin Qi.

"The Yin River on the full moon night is truly perilous!"

"These Yin Beasts are becoming more and more proactive!"

"The closer to the Di Yi Jie Dian, the more wrong the situation!"

A solemn expression emerged on Xu Zhangqing's face at this moment.

If that initial group of "Yin Fish" was something our party didn't need to mind, then everything seen and heard now must be taken extremely seriously.

Otherwise, there is absolutely a risk of capsizing.

Fortunately, no matter how violent the waves, the Ferry Boat remained stable.

Not only avoiding all dangers, but also advancing at a constant speed.

However, this stability comes at a cost.

The consumption speed of High-grade Spirit Stones was much faster than imagined.

Good thing I have money, otherwise I really couldn't endure it.

Xu Zhangqing's Divine Sense swept underwater; besides schools of Yin Fish, even larger Yin Beasts were swimming in the distance.

After driving away batch after batch of Yin Beasts, taking half a double-hour, the three finally arrived at the first Cold Abyss Node.

However, to their surprise, the current here was even more turbulent; the surging Yin River caused the Taiyin Qi and Yin Sha Qi of the Cold Abyss Node to intertwine ever more fiercely.

White-through-black mist surged, looking at a glance like boiling water.

In the distance, a hair-raising roar sounded from time to time.

Tai Bai found it unbelievable: "This place is the Di Yi Jie Dian?"

Zhu Rong frowned: "Originally thought the Node would be more stable compared to other waters, didn't expect it to be like this. Lord, are you sure we didn't take a wrong turn?"

Lord, are you sure we didn't take a wrong turn?

Xu Zhangqing nodded slightly: "Anyway the map isn't wrong."

Instantly, neither Tai Bai nor Zhu Rong spoke.

Xu Zhangqing didn't delay, nor did he waste time explaining.

He immediately activated "Yin Qi Shielding" and "Purify Sha Pattern"; under the dual effects, their position began to stabilize.

Immediately after, he swiftly took out the bait.

Besides Water Flea eggs, there were also large amounts of Taiyin Flowers.

According to the map's records, anything containing Taiyin Power can be used for fishing.

Tai Bai and Zhu Rong, seeing this, each took one kind.

Then, like Xu Zhangqing, Divine Sense Fishing Line along with Water Flea eggs shot into the water.

However, because it was the first time with no experience, they were carried off course by the turbulent current.

Fortunately all three were Golden Core Stage, reactions very fast, hurriedly correcting the trajectory.

Once returned to the chosen positions, Xu Zhangqing's mind sank, beginning to carefully sense.

Result was unexpected, much harder than normal fishing.

Turbulent current constantly scoured the Divine Sense, causing fishing line and bait to shake violently.

Even Golden Core Late Stage cultivation could barely endure it, showing how high the difficulty.

After a while, perhaps attracted by the Water Flea egg aura, dozens of Cold Abyss Water Fleas approached.

They had no biting behavior, instead wanting to take away their "own kind".

However, because the egg was tethered by Xu Zhangqing's Divine Sense, it couldn't break free.

But the more so, the more anxious the Cold Abyss Water Fleas became.

Finally they even attacked proactively, as if they must take this egg no matter what.

Instantly, Xu Zhangqing's Divine Sense was jointly assaulted by Cold Abyss Water Fleas and Taiyin Power, difficulty suddenly doubling, yet he couldn't slacken in the slightest, otherwise he'd have to start over.

You know, although Taiyin Flowers are numerous, Water Flea eggs are only a mere three, therefore exceptionally precious and rare.

And he guessed different baits should be able to catch different Yin Beasts.

This point is probably not much different from normal fishing.

Sure enough, before he could catch his breath, the originally gathered Cold Abyss Water Fleas erupted in commotion, suddenly scattering, vanishing in a blink.

Immediately after, a force far surpassing before suddenly came from underwater.

Xu Zhangqing, caught off guard, frowned.

Carefully sensing, discovered a Yin Beast had bitten the Water Flea egg.

Tremendous pull force tightened the Divine Sense Fishing Line, nearly snapping it.

Xu Zhangqing didn't dare be careless, Divine Sense condensing further: "Bit the hook directly?"

Turbulent current, crazed Yin Beast.

Combined together, the pull force fluctuated wildly, just seeing who can't endure first.

The fatal thing was, the underwater Yin beasts seemed to perceive their companion being hooked, and three of them swam toward this side.

Xu Changqing's face darkened; he knew if this continued, he would absolutely lose a water flea egg, therefore his Divine Sense suddenly erupted.

The previous second he was still wrestling with the Yin beast, the next second he violently yanked it out of the water surface.

Splash!

A mass of black shadow carrying vast sky Yin water smashed onto the ship deck.

Its whole body was pitch-black, flat and scaled, it even grew a pair of blood-red large eyes.

Looking closely, its features actually bore several points of resemblance to the human race.

Even though this thing had already fallen on the ship deck, and caught sight of the angler, its first reaction was not to return to the Yin River, but instead to launch an attack at Xu Changqing.

But the next second, it was imprisoned inside a Ning Shui Zhu.

Xu Changqing's left hand virtually held the Ning Shui Zhu, carefully examining the thing inside: "This... should be one of the three types of Yin beasts recorded on the map, the Yin Nether Spirit Shrimp!"

Only, its body type was not considered large.

It even looked a bit "petite".

Right at this time, the water surface stirred up waves several zhang high.

A larger-bodied Yin Nether Spirit Shrimp leaped out from the waves, opening its blood-basin large mouth to bite at the ferry boat; right at the moment of approach, the ship body's mooring pattern lit up, pale blue light condensed, and it actually became possessed of a metal texture.

Then "Click" a sound!

The Yin Nether Spirit Shrimp bit down; not only did it not cause any damage, instead it shattered several teeth, hurting it so much its human-like features all twisted, its eyes even more flashing with tear-light.

Xu Changqing glanced askance, saying with schadenfreude: "If the ferry boat could be easily bitten apart by you, Taiyin Jushi would not have refined it."

The Yin Nether Spirit Shrimp glared hatefully at the people on the boat, then turned to leave, attempting to hide into the Yin River, waiting for an opportunity to attack again.

But Tai Bai, Zhu Rong, how could they possibly watch this kind of attack occur twice.

Therefore they decisively acted; a fire crow, a streak of sword light flew from their hands, fiercely chopping on the Spirit Shrimp's back; unexpectedly its hard scale armor withstood it, leaving two shallow sword marks.

The Yin Nether Spirit Shrimp borrowed the impact, still returned to inside the Yin River, only because it was injured, it temporarily restrained its angry emotions.

But it still tightly stared at the ferry boat and the people on the boat.

Zhu Rong clicked his tongue in amazement: "This thing's defense power, I'm afraid is comparable to Golden Core."

Tai Bai slightly nodded: "Although my strike just now was rather casual, it after all contained the sharp intent bestowed by Law Power, yet it actually only suffered light injuries!"
