He achieved the pinnacle of martial arts starting with breaking through the limits of Tiger Fist.

"Clatter."

An iron hand gripped the gunwale.

Niu Er shuddered in fright. There were ten people in total. Apart from him and another boatman, the remaining eight were all martial artists.

Even with such a strong lineup, they were wiped out in just a short time.

Before everyone was dead, he didn't even see the enemy.

What kind of killing god is this?

With a push of his hands, Jiang Lin nimbly flipped onto the enemy ship. The man in front of him had one leg completely crippled, and a large amount of blood was flowing down, filling the entire cabin with a strong smell of rust.

Jiang Lin walked forward expressionlessly and twisted Niu Er's remaining arms and legs, in case the other party had any other dirty tricks.

Niu Er, whose limbs were all crippled, let out a frantic roar.

No, brother, just ask me anything! I'll tell you everything!

Seeing that Jiang Lin didn't ask any questions, Niu Er had to speak up himself.

"I'm from the Eagle Claw Sect. There's another boatman besides me, and the remaining eight of us are from the south. We found out that the boat at the dock was reserved for you, so we unloaded some things and followed you."

"This was all arranged by our young sect leader. I don't know why he's targeting you, but I do know he takes it very seriously. These eight were specifically chosen to deal with you."

Niu Er spoke rapidly and quickly, like pouring out beans, which startled Jiang Lin.

Are all the Eagle Claw Sect members this kind of scum?

Actually, Jiang Lin was just making assumptions. He himself couldn't sense it, but in Niu Er's eyes, he had long been convinced that Jiang Lin was a killing god, and an extremely cruel and bloodthirsty one at that. Otherwise, how could he act like nothing had happened after killing so many people?

"..."

Is Gu Yun of the Eagle Claw Sect really that short-tempered?

Jiang Lin was completely baffled. He had only glared at him, yet it had caused such a commotion.

Seeing the fear in Niu Er's eyes, as if he only wanted to die quickly, Jiang Lin had no intention of torturing him. He quickly finished him off and then kicked the body into the water.

Not far from the deserted island, Jiang Lin had just steered the three boats to a suitable spot when a great commotion arose underwater.

At this time, a large number of corpses were floating on the water, attracting many carnivorous fish, including several low-level treasure fish.

Jiang Lin stood on the boat not far from the shore, and the "Waterway Map" was unfolded, making the scenery in the water clear at a glance.

Jiang Lin gradually discovered that the large creatures indeed did not come to the shallow water. In the current noisy scene, apart from a few scattered green treasure fish, not even the blue ones appeared.

Jiang Lin tried to communicate using his new abilities, but found that he could only glean some simple information: excitement, hunger, and tyranny; the rest was just chaos.

"Is this due to low intelligence, or a lack of spirituality?"

As Jiang Lin speculated, he moved away from the area. He had searched the place carefully and found no valuable prey around the deserted island.

After visiting three or four small islands, Jiang Lin was starting to feel overwhelmed. It seemed that his luck had gotten worse after the effectiveness of the enhancement.

However, he is currently sailing the "Yuanpu Ship," which allows him to explore deeper into the swamp.

Jiang Lin pondered for a moment, then began rowing deeper into the area.

Although he knew perfectly well that many unknown creatures were hidden in this great swamp, after so long of observation, he vaguely sensed that these unknown things did not seem to be very interested in people and ships.

The best example is the corpse we just saw. Ordinary fish would circle around the corpse, but the treasure fish ignored it. The few treasure fish that did come were attracted by the school of fish, not by the corpse.

In the rumors surrounding Yunmengze, most fishermen get into trouble because they lose their way. Even if there are rumors of water beasts eating people, the terrifying creatures that the fishermen talk about are, in Jiang Lin's current view, at most slightly higher-level treasure fish, and their level is not even higher than blue.

Jiang Lin carefully steered the boat, constantly observing the movements on the "Waterway Map".

The further we went, the darker the water became, and the five-kilometer exploration range could no longer reach the bottom.

After searching for a long time, Jiang Lin finally found a good place.

This place is right next to a large island, located below a cliff on the island. You can see the bottom within a range of 5,000 meters. Although the water is deep, the waves are calm, and it is not too far from the land, which makes Jiang Lin feel a little more at ease.

Humans live on land, so often the greatest anxiety a person feels on a boat actually comes from the water itself.

Jiang Lin steadied the boat and began to carefully search the waters.

The underwater world here isn't that complicated; there are almost none of the tracks that make Jiang Lin's heart race. However, there's no shortage of green and blue treasure fish.

Jiang Lin took out the "fragrant bait" from his pocket, opened the bag, grabbed a handful, and threw it into the water.

This "Frost White" is different from the "Hemp-Clad Guest". This creature is light and does not sink easily, which can lure prey to the surface, making it more convenient for catching treasure fish in deep water.

However, this product also has obvious drawbacks. Because it floats on the water's surface, the aroma cannot reach the bottom, which easily leads to waste.

However, these things were not a problem for Jiang Lin. He simply used the "Waterway Map" to send out a mental signal that there was food in the area.

Instantly, several places underwater stirred. Among them, a purple light was the fastest, its figure cutting through the water like a sharp sword, heading straight for the surface where "Frost White" floated.

"Sword Trout".

Jiang Lin was immediately excited; he had seen this thing in a book.

This creature is entirely silver, long and slender like a sword, with a protruding snout like the tip of a sword. When it swims, it is like a streak of silver light that is difficult to follow with the naked eye.

This item is of superior medicinal value. It has three scales on its tail fin. After being dried in the shade, ground into powder, and combined with other auxiliary medicines, it can strengthen the meridians of the feet, making it an excellent choice for practicing light-body skills.

However, this creature also has obvious weaknesses. In pursuit of extreme speed, its entire skeleton is hollow like a feather, and its scales are as thin as cicada wings.

The reason it's so hard to catch is because it's so fast.

This thing isn't very strong, nor is its attack powerful. It's useless except for its speed. It's perfect for catching with a fishing net. Unfortunately, Jiang Lin has long been a master fisherman and is a net-casting expert.

Jiang Lin held the fishing net in his hand, calm and collected, waiting for the moment when the fish took the bait before casting the net down, leaving it nowhere to hide.

In the "Water Map," the sword trout drew closer and closer, its movements as swift as lightning. Just as it was about to surface, it suddenly turned and fled into the distance.

"What's going on?"

Jiang Lin was taken aback. He then examined the "water map" more closely and saw dozens of palm-sized, semi-transparent creatures suddenly appear.

A commotion suddenly erupted on the water's surface, and more than a dozen "Frost White" fish were devoured in the blink of an eye.

Without thinking twice, Jiang Lin cast his net before he could even see what was in front of him.

Then they quickly pulled in the net, but there was no struggle as expected; the net was pulled in very easily.

Once the net was pulled onto the deck, Jiang Lin carefully identified the creature in front of him.

"Dragonfly?"

Jiang Lin's eyes widened. If this thing was there, wouldn't that mean...?

The sudden surge of waves interrupted Jiang Lin's thoughts, and even though the "Yuanpu Boat" was known for its stability, it began to rock violently.

A huge head slowly rose from the bow of the ship, its fist-sized eyes, with a human-like quality, looking directly at Jiang Lin.

The "Waterway Map" contains no images whatsoever, as if the object never existed.

"What on earth is this thing?"
