Chapter 212: Snake Monster (1/2)

A full moon hung in the southern part of the sky and illuminated the grassland. The sun had been down for nearly two hours, but thankfully, there was light now.

Alex was walking down the river, searching for the yang jade, but he couldn't find any. He had come across a few more scorpions as well and had killed them just like the first one. He had also come across a few torn bodies, clearly belonging to the Hong Wu Sect.

He managed to find a perfectly fine robe belonging to what he assumed was a now dead inner sect disciple, so he quickly changed into it.

”I will continue later,” he thought and walked back towards the grassland. He had been walking along the river bank for over 4 hours now, and it was time to log out for dinner.

After finding a good place to keep his body, he logged out.

Hannah had been waiting for him at the kitchen table. He quickly ate his food and helped his cousin with the dishes.

After they were done, he quickly got back into the game.

Once he stood up from the place, he realized that he was getting hungry. However, he still had to search for the yang jades. That was the entire reason he had been here in the first place. If he couldn't find a few tonight, it would be 2 days wasted here, just like that.

”Why are they so rare? Master had 3, and those at the marketplace had one each, so why am I having such a hard time finding it, when I should be the one finding the most,” he thought.

Reluctantly, he started to scour the river banks once more. He was extra careful not to fall victim to an ambushing monster, so he kept his eyes and ears open. The river kept on flowing, and the moon shone bright; the night was beautiful, and yet Alex hated it because he couldn't find any yang jades.

”That is just ridiculous. Why can I find snakes, and centipedes and scorpions and not a single Yang Ja— ” Suddenly, he felt a THUMP inside him.

”This feeling… ” His eyes started shining brightly as he knew what was happening. He had finally found one.

He started looking around for the yang jade, trying to locate it using his body. It didn't take him long to realize that the yang jade was inside the river. He started to get worried.

Outside the river, he could fight with the monsters and be on the lookout for them. But in the water, where nothing was visible and made no sound… that was a problem.

”Sh*t,” Alex thought. He started thinking of ways to go into the river and not get attacked in the water. He tried thinking of ideas and only a single one came to his mind.
