Watching Shen Cong make his shining entrance astride Yellow Great-Immortal, the four-legged dragon was, inwardly, in pieces.

First there'd been the big snail, which had spooked it for the longest time, and now here came a weasel just as formidable — leaving this once awe-inspiring super-grade jin beast with no option but to curl up in the trailer, afraid to so much as twitch.

As for Yellow Great-Immortal, it took quite an interest in the four-legged dragon. Looked pretty tasty, in its estimation.

And now this unknown mysterious object — perhaps it lay at the bottom of the lake.

"I should go down and search."

Underwater work was nothing new to Shen Cong. Back at Huangli Tree Reservoir, he'd invented the tension oxygen tank and trained…
