Despite being filled with all sorts of unexpected situations, Jiang An remained highly vigilant and dared not relax for a moment.
Every muscle in her body was taut like a bowstring ready to be drawn, and the weapon she gripped tightly seemed poised to deliver a fatal blow at any moment.
At this moment, she was like a cheetah about to face a life-or-death battle, keenly sensing even the slightest movement around her.
The passage was very dark, with a hint of dampness, which made it all the more precious in this arid world.
The further Jiang An went, the brighter the internal passage became.
But Jiang An didn't know the exact reason, even though she had been studying it for a long time.
This made her even more vigilant.
As she went deeper, Jiang An clearly felt something attracting her and tempting her to keep going.
Suddenly, as if she had noticed something, Jiang An abruptly stopped her hurried steps.
She gently closed her eyes, tilted her ears, and listened intently.
Her ears twitched slightly, as if she could catch the faintest sound in the air.
Sure enough, not long after, a heavy breathing sound came from deep within the passage.
The sound of breathing was particularly clear and abrupt to Jiang An's ears.
"Found it!" Jiang An was secretly delighted. He suddenly opened his eyes, and a hint of undisguised joy flashed across them.
But she did not let her guard down; instead, she continued on her way with even greater caution.
This time, she moved even more lightly, each step as light and silent as a cat's, and even her breathing became so faint as to be almost imperceptible.
About two minutes later, Jiang An stopped again.
She remained highly focused and continued to listen attentively.
At this moment, the breathing sound seemed to become somewhat complex, making it difficult for her to accurately determine how many creatures were hidden within it.
"Two? Or three?" Jiang An wondered to himself.
She carefully discerned the rhythm, frequency, and intensity of each breath, trying to find more useful clues.
Time passed quietly, and Jiang An walked and stopped, stopping every now and then to listen to the sounds inside the passage using her basic listening skills.
After repeating this process several times, she finally approached the interior of the passage, and the space in front of her became more and more spacious, no longer requiring her to bend over to move forward.
When Jiang An peeked out from behind the wall, the sight before her made her gasp in shock.
Not far ahead, on the ground, lay a bizarre fish of extremely large size.
This bizarre fish was enormous, covered in a thick layer of scales that gleamed with a chilling light.
Beside the strange fish stood a jade bed that radiated dazzling light.
This bed is as eye-catching as the brightest star in the night sky, drawing everyone's attention.
What's even more chilling is that on that jade bed that exudes a mysterious aura, there lies a ghastly white skeleton lying quietly!
Judging from the shape and structure of this skeleton, there is no doubt that it once belonged to a human.
But who exactly is this person?
Could it be other "players" who entered this place before? Or...? Countless questions flooded his mind in an instant, but Jiang An had no time to ponder these questions at the moment.
Just then, the strange fish suddenly sensed Jiang An's presence. It pounced on Jiang An with astonishing speed, like a bolt of lightning.
Faced with such a sudden attack, Jiang An remained calm. She nimbly dodged to the side, skillfully avoiding the strange fish's impact.
Immediately afterwards, she swiftly swung the incredibly sharp Dragon-Subduing Blade in her hand, and with a backhand slash, the blade hurtled straight toward the monster fish's fatal weakness.
Unfortunately, this strange fish's reaction speed was also beyond imagination.
Like a phantom, it nimbly dodged Jiang An's fierce attack at the last second.
But what terrified Jiang An was not just this mistake, but when she looked closely at the strange fish, she was surprised to find that the wounds caused by the heavy blow she had given it with her sword intent in the sand river had completely disappeared!
Keep in mind that the entire process, from the moment the strange fish disappeared from her sight to the moment she found it again, took no more than 10 minutes.
In such a short time, the deep wound was able to heal completely, as if it had never existed.
What is going on?
Did I choose the wrong target, or does this strange fish possess some kind of incredible self-healing ability, allowing it to completely recover from its injuries in such a short time?
Moreover, this strange fish was completely different from the two they had encountered before.
It not only possesses an extraordinary high intelligence, but its combat prowess is also astonishing.
Even though Jiang An's thoughts were churning like a tidal wave, her hands did not stop moving in the slightest; on the contrary, they became even more swift and sharp.
A loud bang rang out: "Boom!" Jiang An, wielding the Dragon-Subduing Blade, slashed fiercely at the fish's head with the force of a thunderbolt.
In an instant, the fish head split open, instantly becoming two separate pieces.
At the same time, the headless monster fish crashed to the ground like a small mountain, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Thus, the powerful and monstrous fish finally perished, with no chance of survival whatsoever.
[Ding! Strange fish detected. Decompose it?]
The survival game's notification sound rang out right on time!
"yes!"
[Ding! Decomposition successful! Total harvest: Fish skin*3 (Rare), Fish meat 1 kg (Rare)]
"Huh?"
Jiang An was surprised to find that the fish meat extracted this time was not poisonous and could be eaten.
But she didn't dwell on the problem too much, because she had more important things to do.
Jiang An immediately put all the spoils of war, along with a copper box that had been looted, into his backpack.
After doing all this, she was slightly out of breath and silently calculated in her mind, "17 more to go!"
After all the spoils were properly placed, Jiang An calmed down and began to carefully observe the surrounding environment.
