Zhang Mingzhen guided his dragon lower, hoping to see whether the seawater had changed.
The Wildsea Candle Dragon had barely approached the surface when a school of swordfish burst out of the water, launching a barrage of Thrusts through the air.
These creatures had only recently come under the game's influence. The system had yet to record their information, and their attacks were still weak.
Yet merely approaching the surface had provoked an attack. The countless aquatic creatures lurking in the depths probably posed a far greater threat than the magical beasts on land.
