Unexpected Fortune

Led by the Golden-Eyed Beast, Han Benfu arrived at its nest.

The entrance was not large, but the interior was a world unto itself.

After twisting and turning through the passageways, Han Benfu arrived at an underground cavern spanning several mu. A gigantic black whale lay sprawled on the ground, utterly motionless.

The black whale's flesh was a mangled mess, and there was a huge bloody hole in its abdomen.

"Thunder Whale Beast!"

Han Benfu cried out in surprise. Several decades ago, when they had gone to the Han Clan of Golden Flood Dragon Island to offer birthday congratulations, they had encountered a fourth-rank Thunder Whale Beast on their way back.
