The Little Tiger Whale seed to have bumped into sothing in the water, its expression pained.
Seeing this, Su Mu jumped down, stood on the water’s surface, and looked into the water to see a vaguely visible pillar.
"Wait for here."
With that, Su Mu dove into the water.
Thanks to the "Swimming" Divine Technique, Su Mu could not only tread on water surfaces but also dive underwater.
Moreover, with his swimming ability having reached Level 5, he was more agile in the water than so Treasure Fish, and his vision in the water was extrely clear.
Underwater, Su Mu was able to see what exactly the Little Tiger Whale had collided with.
.....
It was a pitch-black stone pillar, about two ters in diater, rising from the riverbed and reaching up to three ters below the water’s surface.
This part of the river was relatively deep, over a hundred ters, so the pitch-black pillar was also over a hundred ters long.
Su Mu circled around the pillar underwater and found that there were no runes or inscriptions on its surface, only various marks like knife scars, sword marks, and beast scratches.
From this pitch-black pillar, a sense of ancient desolation could be felt. Apparently, it had been here for a very long ti.
But.... what was it for?
And who built it here, for what purpose?
To test the hardness of the pillar, Su Mu clenched his right fist and punched it.
Thud—
A dull sound echoed in the water.
The large fish within a few kiloters scattered in fright, so even leaping out of the water as if sensing so great terror.
The punch did nothing, and all of Su Mu’s strength used on the pillar was completely absorbed, like a mud bull entering the sea without causing a ripple.
The next second, Su Mu operated his cultivation technique and swung his fist at the pillar with full force.
The powerful impact sent ripples on the river’s surface, yet even such a full-strength punch caused no damage.
This seemingly ordinary pillar was like a bottomless abyss, capable of absorbing any energy.
After trying various thods and failing to budge it, Su Mu gave up.
He returned to the surface, greatly exhausted.
He had intended to see if he could clear the pillar to earn Favor Points, but after trying everything possible and failing, he gave up.
Su Mu leapt back onto the Little Tiger Whale’s back, saying, "Forget about it, let’s move on."
Upon hearing this, the Little Tiger Whale swerved around the reef-like pillar, a trace of fear flashing in its eyes, seemingly afraid of the pillar.
...
Continuing along the river, Su Mu gained quite a few Favor Points along the way.
He had spent fifty-five thousand Favor Points, and within half a day, he had already gained back over ten thousand.
Finally, the Little Tiger Whale stopped at the junction of a few tributaries.
This patch of water connected three tributaries, essentially serving as a small hub.
The next second, the Little Tiger Whale roared, then slapped the water, prompting three schools of fish from the tributaries to bring three differently shaped wooden boxes towards the Tiger Whale.
Quickly, three wooden boxes appeared in front of Su Mu.
The next second, a spiritual sense from the Little Tiger Whale resonated.
"Treasure for ?"
Su Mu waved his large hand, taking the three wooden boxes and opening them one by one.
The first long wooden box contained a Cyan Jade Longsword, with a scabbard crafted from White Jade and seven different colored pieces of Amber embedded in the blade, resembling seven eyes.
What a Treasure Sword!
Su Mu liked it at first glance and put it away.
Sensing its master’s emotion, the Tiger Whale also made a sound, praising the school of fish that had brought the sword.
Upon receiving the Tiger Whale’s praise, the fish school leapt with joy, extrely excited.
....
Su Mu picked up the second square box, opened it, and found a bracelet inside.
It was transparent, like green-yellow Amber, with strands of red interwoven inside, extrely beautiful.
Holding it, he could feel a gentle energy nourishing every inch of his body through his palm, an indescribable comfort.
Another good treasure!
Seeing Su Mu accept it, the school of fish that presented the bracelet was equally delighted.
These three schools of fish were clearly under Little Tiger Whale’s command. Since Su Mu was Little Tiger Whale’s master, Su Mu was equivalent to their Supre Emperor!
Thus, they were very anxious, fearing that Su Mu would be displeased.
...
He picked up the last wooden box, and upon opening it, Su Mu frowned tightly.
The third school of fish, upon seeing Su Mu’s expression, was holding its breath, incredibly anxious.....
Inside the box was a finger bone engraved with dense black runes, looking sowhat eerie. However... it didn’t emit any dangerous aura; on the contrary, it exuded a very powerful energy and was also a treasure.
Su Mu accepted it as well.
Seeing Su Mu take it, the tension in the third fish school’s mind finally eased.
"Not bad, I’m quite satisfied with these three treasures."
Su Mu praised the Tiger Whale.
Upon hearing this, Little Tiger Head was extrely happy, worried that the gift it delivered might be overlooked by its master.
The Little Tiger Whale slapped the water, dispersing the schools of fish.
...
"Let’s go, I’ll take you ho to get acquainted with the place."
Soon, Su Mu brought the Little Tiger Whale near the shore close to their ho.
"Nannan, co here for a mont."
Little Nannan, who was on the swing, heard her father’s call and jumped down, coming to the shore.
Upon seeing the Little Tiger Whale, Nannan’s eyes were full of surprise.
What a big fish!
Did Dad catch this?
.....
This was Nannan’s first ti seeing such a big fish, her eyes shining brightly.
So... there are such big fish in the river?
.....
"Nannan, from now on, this Little Tiger Whale is part of our family."
Seeing Little Nannan’s expression, Su Mu hastily introduced the whale to her.
Afraid that her next sentence would be: "Dad, should we roast it or cook it?"
So, predicting what Nannan was about to say, he interrupted her.
...
The Tiger Whale, upon seeing Nannan, had a flash of surprise in its eyes, as if rembering sothing or confirming sothing, but it didn’t seem like it, perhaps it just saw wrong.
Upon seeing Nannan, the Little Tiger Whale opened its mouth, and sothing rolled out.
It rolled up to the shore, right in front of Nannan.
After picking it up, Nannan tilted her head and asked, "What is this?"
...
ps: A few minutes after midnight, there will be another Chapter
