"What was that?"
Ming Qi stopped and immediately sent a voice transmission backward, but her tone had turned somewhat hesitant.
Because at this distance, at the very edge of her Divine Sense, she could still see nothing but the dazzling river winding onward.

Half the time it took to drink a cup of tea later, Ming Qi and Ming Yu were already fifty li away from the abnormal stretch of river. They had traveled this distance with extreme caution.
Yet their Divine Sense had long since silently probed into that patch of water, and what lay beneath the river only made them more uneasy.
