Somewhere in the waters of the Clearwater River Main Channel.
A dark figure was racing forward, propelled by an invisible current.
Behind him was a black steed, likewise carried along by the water.
The man and horse were none other than Mu Yang and Little Black, hunting monsters underwater.
After breaking through to True Astral Realm Perfection, Mu Yang had resumed searching for monsters to condense his Void Spirit and solidify his equipment along the way.
Unfortunately, whether his luck was poor or the monsters here were simply too sparse, nearly half a day had passed without him seeing a single one.
It truly baffled him.
Although this area was close to the Clearwater Dragon Palace, and most wild aquatic monsters dared not approach it.
Even if there were no wild ones, shouldn't there at least be monsters serving the Clearwater Dragon Palace?
"Hmm?"
Just as Mu Yang was growing bored out of his mind, a strong monster aura finally entered his perception.
"Finally found one!"
Judging by its aura, it should be a sixth-rank monster.
Still, something was better than nothing. At least he had finally found his first catch.
With that thought, Mu Yang immediately increased his soul power output, making the already swift current propel him even faster.
Startled, Little Black gulped down a huge mouthful of river water.
Fortunately, he also possessed Underwater Breathing. Though his belly bulged slightly, he did not end up choking.
And so, the man and horse began speeding through the water.
Before long, a monster appeared in Mu Yang's sight. It resembled a macaque, with a pointed muzzle, pinched cheeks, enormous eyes, a fish tail, and armored scales.
Almost simultaneously, the sharp-eyed Water Scout Monkey spotted Mu Yang and Little Black traveling in their strange fashion.
"Hmm? A human?"
