Hearing Lin Yuan muttering to himself, Chi Yu glanced at him, her tone somewhat helpless:
"How could they possibly lose? This is the Nether River!"
"You still don't seem to realize just how extraordinary the thing you summoned is!"
"Mere beasts from the upper reaches of the Deep Sea can't make any waves in the Nether River, even if it's only a tributary."
"Just watch. The Nether River isn't nearly as simple as it looks."
Hearing Chi Yu's words, Lin Yuan focused his attention on the skeletons' movements.
The skeletons climbed out of the river one after another, then turned their attention to the surrounding beasts.
The beasts seemed instinctively uncomfortable with Nether River Water and were all swimming above it, in the Deep Sea water that had turned clear.
But they sensed no threat from the skeletons, either, so they barely reacted.
Skeleton Pirates, Skeleton Captains, Skeleton Generals... the types of skeletons crawling out of the Nether River were no different from when he had first summoned it.
With the Nether River's enhancement, these skeletons were far stronger than normal.
But on their own, they might not even be able to handle a pod of Horned King Whales.
And now he was supposed to rely on these fellows to kill a group of Deep Sea Behemoths?
Lin Yuan had his doubts.
"Careful, the skeleton army has almost finished assembling. They'll attack indiscriminately... huh? They aren't attacking your ship?"
More questions had popped into Chi Yu's head today than usually did in a month.
But she quickly realized:
"Is it because your ship is tainted with the aura of death?"
"That's right. My ship is made from special materials, though that can only deter creatures from the surface layer of a Nether River tributary," Lin Yuan answered with a nod.
