The imp's voice suddenly sounded in Qiao Xixi's mind.
"Host, a beast guard is flying this way."
Qiao Xixi quickly looked up at the sky but couldn't see anything. Still, she knew the information from the imp wouldn't be wrong.
"Sunxiao, the system says a beast guard is flying over. Let's hide in the water for now."
It was best to avoid a confrontation before they reached the Watchtower.
"Alright."
Hearing Qiao Xixi, Jin Ling and the others slowly gathered around her before sinking into the water a moment later.
Xijing pointed a finger in the water, and the river parted automatically.
Yun Qiong quickly approached their location. He scanned the water's surface with sharp eyes but didn't spot anything unusual.
This was the area where the Water Snake Beast usually roamed. He circled the area once and let out a long cry into the sky. A moment later, the water churned, and the corpse of the Water Snake Beast slowly floated to the surface, held up by fish-beasts.
