The time goes back to two quarter-hours ago.
Chen Xu wrote "The Strategy to Pacify the Locust Demon" in the Imperial Examination Hall. At the moment the paper exuded purple smoke, no one knew that something unusual was happening at the bottom of the Yuan Cang River.
At that moment, in the abyss at the bottom of the river, a massive black shadow that was about to break through the depths again was struck as if critically injured, and suddenly let out a soul-piercing scream.
Ah——
The black shadow cried out in pain and rolled, and the water at the riverbed surged endlessly.
"Who is it? Who is casting spells in the dark to harm me!"
The black shadow silently roared, "No, I refuse! I was just one step away, why can't I break through?"
"Resentment! I need resentment, I need more and more resentment..."
Under the river, more aquatic creatures were drawn in.
Then, in the undercurrent, their bodies were crushed, souls torn apart, and invisible blood flowed into the abyss.
