The Game with Fairies-Chapter 290

Li Muyang realized something seemed amiss.

These days, as he traveled down the river hunting evil creatures, he often heard people on the river praying to a River God.

But this so-called River God had never been mentioned before and seemed to have appeared only recently.

Li Muyang grew curious, wondering if some demon had emerged in the Yushui River.

From the conversations of the boatmen and fishermen, it seemed this River God had shown miracles in front of people, which was why they worshipped it.

But as Li Muyang roamed the Yushui River, he had become familiar with the river’s ecological environment.

On his furthest journey, he even reached the river’s estuary and saw the vast ocean and the endless white mist that shrouded the sea surface.

The Sea of Mist covered all the seas on this planet, and as a Flood Dragon, when Li Muyang swam into the sea, he faintly felt his divine consciousness being disturbed.

The Moon-Biting Dragon had an extremely strong sense of direction and could vaguely sense the position of the stars in the sky even underwater.

However, when he swam into the area covered by the mist, his senses were limited, and he lost his sense of direction.

This bizarre and chaotic state made Li Muyang dare not stay long, and he didn’t dare to stray too far from land.

He immediately returned to the Yushui River, fearing he would get lost in the Sea of Mist.

This game was real-time, with no chance to save and restart.

The game would be over if the Moon-Biting Dragon got lost in the Sea of Mist.

He returned to the Yushui River and continued to search for evil creatures, avoiding the temptation to test the boundaries of the Sea of Mist.

The Yushui River basin was vast, with several tributaries and three large lakes.

It was an important waterway in the northern territory of the Heavenly Origin Continent.

Along the banks of the Yushui River, countless boat families and fishermen relied on the river for their livelihood.

But the dense population also bred a vast number of evil creatures.

Apart from the smaller evil creatures that Li Muyang mainly hunted, there were three dens of evil creatures in the river basin.

Li Muyang had observed from a distance that among the evil creatures emerging from those dens, there were many powerful demons.

At level 4, Moon-Biting Dragon was only ten zhang long and was not yet qualified to provoke those demon lairs.

So, although Li Muyang roamed and patrolled the river, his overall behavior was still low-key, hunting only the weaker evil creatures, emphasizing a cautious approach of bullying the weak and fearing the strong.

Suddenly hearing about a new evil deity emerging in the Yushui River, Li Muyang was curious but didn’t pay too much attention.

He just assumed that a new evil creature had appeared in the river.

In the northern territory of the Heavenly Origin Dynasty, it seemed that because of a group of special beings called “Wandering Immortal” beyond the frontier, no cultivators roamed this land, and even the Demon-Suppressing Masters from the Imperial Astronomical Bureau would not come to the north.

The new River God of the Yushui River could be a newly born evil deity or perhaps a demon that had escaped from the south.

Li Muyang had no intention of getting involved, but he heard someone say that outside Baizhou City, a wealthy merchant had built a temple to the River God after the deity saved his only son from drowning.

The merchant had funded the construction of the temple to thank the River God.

Li Muyang immediately went to Baizhou City out of curiosity.

He wanted to see what this new River God looked like so he could avoid it in the future.

But when Li Muyang took advantage of the night to reach the shore of Baizhou City and silently slipped into the small riverside temple outside the city, he saw a statue of a Flood Dragon enshrined within.

The completely white Flood Dragon seemed to be made of beautiful jade, with two delicate horns on its forehead.

Although the clay statue looked rough in detail, this River God looked exactly like… myself?

Li Muyang crouched in the shadow of the River God temple, utterly astonished.

The River God enshrined in the temple turned out to be me?

Li Muyang immediately sensed something unusual.

The moment he stepped into the River God temple, a system prompt suddenly popped up in his vision.

【Incense Offering Path Unlocked】

New novel 𝓬hapters are published on freёwebnoѵel.com.

【Current Incense Power: 13】

【Would you like to light this statue?】

Li Muyang discovered a new interface within the system——【Incense Divine Path】

Upon entering, he was immediately greeted by the statue of the Moon-Biting Dragon.

The system indicated that the statue could be lit.

【Note: After lighting the statue, you can listen to the prayers of believers through it. By consuming incense power, you can remotely control the statue to act, and the puppet statue possesses 1/10th of the original body’s magical power】

“…So this really is my temple.”

Li Muyang was astonished by this development.

After pondering for a moment, he chose to light the statue.

It was clearly an evolutionary path of the system.

It was highly likely that when he was offline, the system controlled the Moon-Biting Dragon to save people and manifest itself before them.

Otherwise, the mortals on both banks of the Yushui River would have no way of knowing about the Flood Dragon beneath the riverbed.

As Li Muyang lit the statue, the clay sculpture of the Flood Dragon enshrined on the altar suddenly glowed with a warm white light.

The previously rough and somewhat ugly clay statue became delicate and beautiful after the light infused into it.

Aside from being smaller in size, the clay statue now looked exactly like the Moon-Biting Dragon itself.

Even the scales that appeared out of thin air on its body seemed to flicker with a faint, colorful aura.

The rough details of the statue were transformed in an instant, turning decay into a miraculous lifelike figure.

Li Muyang stood in the dark temple for a while before turning and heading back to the river not far from the entrance.

His visit to the river god temple tonight had brought an unexpected joy.

He had unlocked a new skill tree.

But wasn’t this AFK system a bit too intelligent?

Not only did it hunt evil creatures for experience points, but it also saved people…

Li Muyang submerged into the river, taking advantage of the cover of night.

The night was when those evil creatures were active, and it was also the stage for the Moon-Biting Dragon’s hunt.

By the time dawn broke and the familiar anti-addiction system came online, Li Muyang had already killed more than a dozen evil creatures and was about to level up to LV5.

He opened his eyes inside the flying boat, and after being kicked out of the game by the system, he immediately got up.

Right on time, his sister’s voice sounded from outside the door.

“Brother! It’s time for dinner.”

Li Muyang went out to eat, and everything was just right.

……

Meanwhile, in the Yushui River, the Moon-Biting Dragon, regaining control of its body, curiously widened its eyes.

“What did that person do…”

It had watched the person enter the river god temple last night and saw the statue enshrined on the altar.

It hadn’t expected that those humans not only gave it a strange and ugly name but also made a fake Flood Dragon that resembled it for worship.

That fake Flood Dragon was so ugly that it couldn’t help but want to destroy such an eyesore—the real thing wasn’t that ugly!

But that person did something, and after a flash of white light, the ugly fake Flood Dragon suddenly became beautiful.

And vaguely, it felt a certain connection between itself and the fake Flood Dragon.

Inside its body, there seemed to be an addition of a faint and scarce mystical energy.

This energy was different from what it gained from consuming evil creatures.

It was very hot, as if it could burn itself if it wasn’t careful.
