The Black Spider clan's territory was roughly seven or eight li in a straight line from the riverbank. Wang Wu moved cautiously and took nearly half the night to reach the river.
There were only one or two hours left until dawn.
Wang Wu did not dare let his guard down. He observed carefully for a long while, confirming the general situation along the riverbank before climbing down from a riverside cliff and slowly slipping into the river.
Once he was in the calm current and felt the effects of Level 10 Passive Concealment, Wang Wu finally let out a long breath.
His guess had been right. The number of water demons in the West River had indeed dropped drastically. Along the way, he had seen many Sprites on land, but not a single River Patrol Demon.
Of course, that did not mean there were few Sprites in the West River.
The countless fish and shrimp were simply too well suited to absorbing Golden Particles in such a broad, unobstructed environment.
Wang Wu even felt that within less than a year, the Sprites in the West River would quickly grow into another wave.
At this moment, carried along by the gentle current, Wang Wu drifted with the flow beneath the water. Come to think of it, he had no idea when he had suddenly learned how to swim.

Moreover, Level 10 Passive Concealment allowed him to float in the water with ease—even to sleep.
With a few subtle movements, he could also adjust his direction or swim slowly without leaving Passive Concealment.
In short, Wang Wu suddenly realized that hiding in the river gave him far more composure and advantage than hiding on land.
