Stranger Danger

Leya Point was a ferry point located near the end of Fury Wind River and near the estuary. If the upstream of Fury Wind River was overflowing with rapid waters, deadly winds, and even deadlier Strangers that made it completely unnavigable in most times, then the downstream of Fury Wind River had wide open lands and mostly stable waters. As a result, there were plenty of excellent harbors and ferry points in this area, and Leya Point was the biggest and most prosperous of them all. Merchants and travelers flowed in from every direction, and its numerous lamps remained lit throughout the night, giving it the impression of a ferry point that never slept. It was also said that its vessels resemble schools of fishes, and its people the myriad threads of fabric.

Leya Point was the greatest ferry point of northern Qi. That was why it was brightly lit like daytime and full of noise and activity even though it was already midnight.

Despite the ceaseless boats and ships coming to and fro Leya Point, Ye Qing wasn’t worried about being discovered. After all, the whale tomb was extraordinary and concealed behind a thick fog. He could look outside, but those outside could not look inward and find them.

The reason they were parked here was because they were planning to land on Leya Point and travel south straight to Four Seas.

“Hmm? There’s something under the water!”

Suddenly, Ye Qing sensed something and frowned. His demonic thought was telling him that a massive group of unusually-shaped serpents were swimming swiftly toward Leya Point. The creatures were around three meters long, pitch black, and had a pair of wings.

At first glance, there were at least a couple thousand of them. They looked like a swarm of black tentacles swimming swiftly toward the ferry point without a sound.

“It’s the Black-winged Water Snake!” Feng Qingyou answered.

“I bet they’re targeting the people on the ferry point,” Ye Qing said with a frown.
