The upper reaches of the Jing River were not packed with ice floes like its middle section.
Perhaps because the upper reaches were closer to the Jing River's source, the Bolang Snow Mountain, the water here was livelier and purer. Even in the dead of winter, when the land was covered in a thousand miles of ice and snow, the waves still surged and the current flowed swiftly.
As Song Ciwan walked along the bank, she saw a fish and a bird cursing at each other in the distance.
The Fish Demon had a bizarre appearance. It sported a massive, bright red head and a pair of bulging, transparent eyes that resembled two giant, watery Treasure Pearls. Its back, however, was covered in backward-facing spines, each a full three feet long, giving it a truly menacing look from afar.
Song Ciwan couldn't identify the Fish Demon's species. She could only sense from its aura that it was a demon at the Late-stage Spirit Communication.
