Chapter 120 Clues Exposed
Zhang Yifan stood on the willow-leaf boat, his hands gripping the rudder tightly, his eyes fixed on the surrounding water, his heart filled with vigilance.
He carefully maneuvered the boat, which drifted slowly and steadily on the surface of the Qianshui River.
The water surface seemed calm, with only slight ripples. However, Zhang Yifan knew that the calm of the Thousand Water River was merely a facade, concealing undercurrents and unknown dangers that could swallow him up at any moment.
His heart was racing. Despite his best efforts to control his emotions, he couldn't ignore the danger lurking all around him.
Although Zhang Yifan had heard of this body of water before, it was only after personally entering the area that he truly felt the uniqueness of the Thousand Water River.
The river's water is crystal clear, with only occasional ripples on its surface. The tranquility seems to swallow even the air, making breathing heavy. However, beneath this seemingly peaceful surface lurks countless creatures and unpredictable dangers.
Zhang Yifan knew that this place was no ordinary river; in fact, it was said that this body of water was filled with countless mysterious forces, forcing one to remain highly vigilant. The willow-leaf boat moved slowly across the water, Zhang Yifan's gaze sweeping across the surrounding riverbanks, trying to find any unusual signs.
The scenery here was completely different from any river he had ever seen before. The banks were covered with lush vegetation, some unidentified aquatic plants floated on the surface of the water, and ancient sediments could be seen occasionally underwater, as if this river was hiding a little-known history.
Zhang Yifan's thoughts were interrupted by a slight sound of water.
He quickly turned his head, his eyes scanning the water's surface warily, searching for any possible movement. Just then, a small shrimp suddenly emerged from the water, its tiny body swaying on the surface, its slender tentacles gently moving in the water.
The shrimp soldier's eyes gleamed like two small black beans, and its keen gaze began to wander around.
Its sense of smell and sight are extremely sensitive, and it can quickly detect anything unusual.
The shrimp soldier's gaze quickly locked onto the willow-leaf boat, its alertness triggered by the faint ripples on the surface. Upon closer inspection, it discovered that the humans on board did not belong to the creatures of this waterway.
The willow-leaf boat floated on the water, like some kind of alien object, extremely out of place with the surrounding scenery.
The little shrimp soldier instantly became alert and decided to take action to report the discovery to General Blue Crab.
Without any hesitation, the little shrimp soldier immediately turned around and swam towards a hidden underwater passage.
It swiftly traversed the waterways at the bottom of the Qianshui River, where the underwater world appeared even more complex, with winding waterways and dense aquatic plants blurring the view.
The coral reefs, deposited shells, and tangled seaweed along the way added to the mystery of this area, making the waterway extremely elusive. After swimming for a while, the little shrimp soldiers finally arrived at the camp of the blue crab general.
The camp was situated in a more tranquil area, surrounded by huge seashells and tough seaweed, resembling a natural fortress.
The interior of the tent was dark and deep. General Blue Crab was sitting on a huge stone bench, waving its two sharp pincers as if practicing some kind of move.
Each swing of the pliers carried a powerful aura, and the air itself seemed to vibrate slightly under its force.
The Blue Crab General was enormous, with a blue shell as hard as iron, and exuded an unparalleled majesty.
Two enormous pincers gleamed coldly beside it, their sharp tips clearly bearing the marks of countless battles, the remaining scars further attesting to its formidable fighting prowess.
Its eyes, like two large lamps, were bright and piercing, revealing a cold and ruthless aura. At this moment, General Blue Crab was concentrating on practicing its pincer techniques, seemingly oblivious to the outside world.
Suddenly, a sharp voice broke the silence.
"Report! Reporting to the General!" The little soldier's voice was full of urgency and sounded extremely anxious.
General Blue Crab stopped what he was doing, his massive body trembled slightly, and a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes.
Its lantern-like eyes stared fixedly at the little shrimp soldiers, its tone authoritative and indifferent:
"What's the matter with such a commotion? How dare you disturb me during my drills? What an offense!"
The little shrimp soldier was not intimidated by the Blue Crab General's imposing presence. It quickly reported, "General, we have discovered an unidentified object in our patrol area. It looks like a small boat with a person standing on it, and it is heading this way."
Its tone was filled with tension and urgency. General Blue Crab raised an eyebrow, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
"Oh? Someone dares to trespass on the Thousand Water River? Quite bold." Its voice was deep, carrying a suffocatingly intimidating force. After speaking, General Blue Crab stood up, its huge pincers clashing together, making a "crackling" sound that shook the entire tent.
"Prepare for battle!" General Blue Crab's command was firm and powerful. "I want to see which fool dares to trespass into my territory."
Its voice revealed an unquestionable resolve.
In that deep and mysterious underwater world, the originally peaceful and serene atmosphere was instantly shattered.
The shrimp soldiers and crab generals around them gathered at an astonishing speed, like well-trained warriors.
Their movements were perfectly synchronized, each step carrying a firm and powerful rhythm, as if the entire ocean trembled at them. These brave and fearless creatures exuded a strong fighting spirit that sent chills down one's spine.
They stood ready, their eyes sharp and piercing, as if able to penetrate any obstacle. A resolute and unwavering light shone in their eyes, clearly indicating they were fully prepared for a fierce battle.
Standing at the front of the column was the majestic Blue Crab General, its huge and sharp pincers raised high, like a flag leading the troops behind it forward.
With a sudden swipe of its pincers, this powerful army swam rapidly towards Zhang Yifan's location without hesitation. The seawater churned up in waves, creating a spectacular sight.
As they departed, a sudden undercurrent arose underwater, and the surrounding seaweed swayed in the ripples, as if foreshadowing the impending conflict.
Standing on the boat, Zhang Yifan suddenly felt a chill.
Although the surroundings remained calm, his keen intuition told him that some kind of danger was quietly approaching.
His heart began to race, his hands gripping the helm tightly, bracing himself for any eventuality. The depths of the Thousand Water River seemed to hold endless mysteries, and everything was beginning to unfold in an uncertain direction…
