Chen Lin entered the Heaven-Connecting River.
This time was different from the last.
Now that he knew what the Heaven-Connecting River was like, he was exceptionally cautious.
His vigilance against the Nihility Fish, in particular, had reached its utmost limit.
He was not afraid of the aura of finger sand. It would not kill him immediately. He only needed to get out before his body completely disintegrated and eat a Mother Steamed Bun.
But if a Nihility Fish struck him, he would die on the spot.

Moreover, the Heaven-Connecting River flowed quite swiftly. The Crystal Silk Net could not catch individual tiny grains at all.
His luck was good.
With an active search, Chen Lin found a target before long.
It was a tiny clump stuck together.
It was about the size of a grain of rice, but contained several dozen grains.
Since they were stuck together, their transparency diminished, allowing him to make out a hazy outline at close range.
Chen Lin wasted no time. With a flick of the Crystal Silk Net, he scooped up the clump of finger sand.

About an hour passed like this. Not daring to remain any longer, Chen Lin swam toward the surface.
Although Mother Steamed Buns were effective, they had to be eaten to work. They themselves had no resistance to finger sand.
It was peculiar,
