After Niu Jianjun jumped into the river alone, he began searching the water for traces of Zhao Yilong and Consultant Sun.
Before long, he felt a hand seize his ankle. Bone-piercing cold flooded through his body, and the next moment, he seemed to be dragged into a strange space.
Splash!
Niu Jianjun struggled desperately and burst out of the murky water, gasping for breath.
When he looked up, he was stunned. It was somehow daytime before his eyes, and a blazing sun overhead scorched the earth.
He seemed to be in a vast river with muddy yellow water, drifting downstream with the current. On either side of the river stretched endless tracts of withered yellow land.
Damn it, where the hell had he been dragged to?
And was this place a Ghost Domain or an illusion?

Could Zhao Yilong and Consultant Sun have been dragged here as well?
Just then, Niu Jianjun felt a sharp pain in his backside. He reached down with one hand and yanked up a bizarre-looking monster fish.

"What filthy thing is this?!"
Niu Jianjun clenched his hand hard, crushing the monster fish into pulp before tossing it back into the river.
He slowly climbed ashore and switched on his communication device, only to find that there was no signal at all.
The sun beat directly down on him. To avoid dehydration, Niu Jianjun pulled the yellow life jacket from his body over his head and headed upstream along the surging yellow river.
