Buzz, buzz, buzz...
Inside the Pingning Hao Water Repelling Shuttle, the Kui Niu Drum hummed without pause.
Something like fireworks bloomed across the translucent inner walls, with flashes of lightning appearing now and then.
A school of blue-violet monster fish, each two or three meters long, with protruding sharp teeth and long purplish-red whiskers growing from their heads, swam around the Water Repelling Shuttle.
They charged about at high speed, inevitably slamming into the shuttle's outer hull and drawing constant counterattacks from the Kui Niu Drum's Thunder Net.
After pushing through the dense swarm of monster fish for half an hour, the Water Repelling Shuttle finally broke free of the school.
Looking back, the massive school of blue-violet monster fish was still circling and converging in place, forming an enormous sphere.
Compared to the fish school, the huge Water Repelling Shuttle looked like a grain of rice beside a watermelon.
"Good thing we have the Kui Niu Drum. Otherwise, the fleet might've been destroyed by that school of monster fish."
"The elders of Hundred Refinements Hall really planned ahead. They refined the Kui Niu Drum early on for protection."
"The labor Contract is harsh, but if we can safely relocate all the way to Haizhou, it might not be so bad..."
Inside Xinyuan Tea House, everyone chatted with relaxed expressions.
They had entered the Heaven-Reaching River over twenty days ago, and this was already the third swarm of Mutant Beasts they had encountered.
With the Kui Niu Drum, the Water Repelling Shuttle had passed through every time with ease.
But Chen Mu, standing by the window, could not relax.
The Water Repelling Shuttle was diving deep underwater, where everything around it was pitch-black. The others could only observe through the shuttle's inner walls, and the sights they saw were limited.
