The river, which had been relatively calm, suddenly began to surge.
Unlike the surge caused by strong winds, the rise in the river water was caused by some enormous object slowly rising from beneath the surface.
The enormous creature was clearly very close to them, possibly even directly beneath their ship, which was already beginning to wobble and tilt.
Fortunately, the car's four wheels were fixed in place; otherwise, given the degree of tilt, the car would have slid into the river.
Everyone witnessed this strange change, because the ship was rocking so obviously, swaying like a leaf in the wind.
The boatmen's faces turned pale instantly, their lips trembled, and their voices became distorted, sounding even more broken in the river wind: "Mutant...mutant baiji dolphin!"
After saying this, he suddenly came to his senses, grabbed the railing, and ran into the cabin, shouting as he ran, "Yangtze River dolphin! The Yangtze River dolphin is here!"
With his shout, the sound of the ship's engine suddenly increased, clearly indicating that it had reached full speed.
By this time, the ship was rocking unsteadily. Chi Xia, Xu Fan, and Zhuo Fang, who were standing on the deck, were gripping the railing tightly, but the swaying of the ship made them lose their balance.
The ship carrying Han Junche and Qin Zhao had been traveling alongside Chi Xia and the others, and it was clear that Han Junche and the others were experiencing the same thing as Chi Xia.
Having reached the riverbank, Wang Dalong and his group, who were already resting and waiting, saw the unusual activity in the river and immediately stood up, their hearts pounding in their throats.
Liu Daniu shouted anxiously, "Hurry! Hurry!"
However, even though he roared with all his might, the sound he uttered did not travel far before being dispersed by the river wind.
Chi Xia is very calm now. Since the river water changed, her originally uneasy heart has calmed down, as if she has finally waited for it.
The ship's engine roared as it finally broke free from the rising waters. However, before they could even catch their breath, the river suddenly surged and crashed towards them.
Mengmeng stood on the deck, biting the railing tightly to prevent herself from falling. Mengmeng is a wolf, a canine, and is a natural swimmer, but at this moment, it was biting the railing tightly, clearly knowing that there was danger underwater.
The surge drew closer and closer, reaching them in the blink of an eye. Chi Xia scooped Mengmeng up and held it tightly in her arms. The instant the surge crashed onto the deck, she swiftly activated her supernatural power, and Xu Fan and Zhuo Fang on the deck donned fire shields.
The waves crashed over, pushing the two boats sideways for dozens of meters before finally coming to a stop.
Chi Xia's level eight superpower, Fire Shield, reached temperatures exceeding a thousand degrees Celsius. However, the Fire Shield couldn't remain on other people for too long, so she only applied a thin layer, which was extinguished after being hit by the wave.
Despite this, it ensured that none of them were injured.
After escaping danger, Chi Xia hurriedly turned to look at Han Junche. Han Junche must have erected an invisible wall around himself, as he was completely dry from head to toe, without even a single strand of hair getting wet.
Qin Zhao and Xiao Hui, suspended in mid-air, paid no attention to the unusual activity in the river.
Looking at Mengmeng in her arms, and then at Xiaohui floating in mid-air, looking down at the river with disdain, Chi Xia felt envious.
The river finally calmed down, and the culprit that caused all of this surfaced.
A gigantic baiji dolphin!
The Baiji dolphin is a species unique to the Empire. Before the apocalypse, an expedition team composed of more than ten countries searched for the Baiji dolphin, but after nearly a year of searching, they did not find a single one. Therefore, the Baiji dolphin was declared extinct. But now, they have seen a live Baiji dolphin!
