Aboard the Crawlers' great ship, Retainer 9527 was utterly frustrated as well.
He had a special tracking ability that allowed him to keep locating Lin Yuan.
This was an advanced blessing he had previously received from the great being, and the key reason the elder had been confident in sending him to hunt Lin Yuan down.
After the Ocean Current Explosion, a considerable distance had opened up between him and Lin Yuan, and catching up would originally have taken some time.
But for some reason, Lin Yuan had suddenly stopped moving forward for a long time, even retreating slightly.
This only convinced Retainer 9527 further that the brat was his lucky star, and he rushed over at full speed without stopping.
As a result, one careless move had sent him straight into the Nether River.
The Nether River was extremely strange. Just like the layered worlds of the seawater, it showed nothing unusual from outside; only upon entering its range would one discover that one was already deep inside it.
By then, even retreating would no longer take one out of the Nether River's range.
"Damn that brat! How can he summon something of this level!"
"Even if this is inside 'Paradise,' and even if it's only a tributary of the Nether River, it still shouldn't be something a newcomer like him can summon!"
"And why isn't he attacked by the Nether River's creatures?! Could his standing actually be higher than that of this Nether River tributary?"
"No, the Nether River is notoriously violent. Even if his standing were higher than its own, there's no way he'd be completely unaffected!"
"Could this brat have some connection to the Nether River? Is he the illegitimate son of the Lord of the Nether River?!"
Retainer 9527 screamed inwardly, but whatever the case,
