Using the cover of night, Wang Wu slowly crawled onto the riverbank. This was already the third day since he had parted ways with Hei You Liang.
Thinking back on everything that had happened, it truly felt like a lifetime ago.
He had not been trapped in the underground river for long before burrowing out from the bottom of the West River. It was not because he was lucky—it was because the West River Great King had planned well in advance. That place was the secret escape base of their entire clan.
The only problem was that the exit was at least fifty li downstream.
The moment he emerged, he could see the dense primeval forests on both banks, as well as the towering, majestic South Mountain.
Who could have imagined that one day, he would actually make it right to the doorstep of the South Mountain Great King's lair?
Wang Wu did not dare act rashly. Relying on his Level 10 Passive Concealment, he hid beneath a cliff by the shore and endured three days and three nights without moving. Only after confirming that there was no danger did he finally climb ashore.
He had no choice but to come ashore, because the number of fish and shrimp in the West River had clearly dropped by ninety percent.
And every one of them had become alert to an absurd degree.
Even when they absorbed Golden Particles at sunrise, the slightest disturbance would send them fleeing in all directions.
On top of that, the Black Eagle Captain under the South Mountain Great King and the Mountain Eagle Captain under the North Mountain Great King led groups of avian demon soldiers to patrol and search the river every day, making it impossible for Wang Wu to fish at all.
