This adventurer is overly righteous.

"It's a success just like that?"

Logan found it somewhat unbelievable; when he first saw Kroya and Adrian fighting, he thought the entire operation was going to fail.

"Which way should we go?"

Kroya and Logan lay down on the silver barrel to conserve their energy. The current was not rapid, but dangerous rocks lay beneath the surface, their sharp edges capable of cutting the skin.

The barrel kept spinning in the water, requiring Kroya and Logan to adjust its direction.

"If we follow the current downstream, we can get out directly. You should have seen a river when you came to this area; we'll appear there."

"But that vampire will definitely have his henchmen waiting there," Kroya pondered. If the other side reacted quickly, they might have set up an ambush at the exit. Besides, the goblins simply threw the empty barrels into the water when they disposed of them, so there should be someone at the exit to collect those empty barrels. "We need to take another route."

"That's right, that's what I was just about to say." Logan began to maneuver the bucket towards the rock wall, where the water was shallower. He also turned the bucket so it floated upright in the water. With Kroya's help, he took out a map, which was covered with intricate and intersecting lines. "We have another way to go. Follow the current and turn right at the second fork in the road..."

Kroya also looked at the map, confirmed that the route was indeed feasible, then put the map back into the bucket and began to move forward again by using the water flow. At the same time, he cast a spell on himself and Logan to prevent them from drowning—the width and height of the river varied, and some places were so low that the two of them had to submerge their heads in the water as well.

"It's starting to open up."

"This means we've reached a point where we need to change course."

Logan was more familiar with the waterway map than Kroya, so he decided on the route.

"Logan, do you think there might be monsters in the water?" Kroya suddenly asked, which made Logan feel a little scared.

"What did you find?"

Kroya and Logan were lying on the barrel. Kroya used Flash to illuminate their surroundings because he knew that Logan's night vision was not as good as his.

Huge claw marks appeared on the rock walls on both sides, and there were also signs that the narrow passage they had just passed through had been dug and enlarged by some beast.

"It's a big guy." Kroya's sword never left his hand. He didn't sense any hostility now, but who knows what the future holds.

The Adventurers' Guild's spies are divided into regions, and Logan is in charge of this region. Theoretically, he knows all the creatures that may exist in this region.

"There might be some small fish underground," Logan said, momentarily speechless, "but there shouldn't be any this big. There's not that much food here..."

"So it's from outside." Kroya's first reaction was that it was a monster raised by that vampire, but then he felt it was unlikely, since the other party's act of expanding the rock wall didn't seem to make any sense.

Perhaps it was attracted by something...

  

As Logan and Kroya discussed each other's size, the barrels continued to move forward with the water, heading towards a wider underground water area as planned. It was like a large lake, with many barrels remaining on the surface, having not been washed away for various reasons.

Right here, Kroya and Logan had to change direction, paddling hard together towards another waterway, with a passage leading in another direction ahead.

The entire underground waterway was quiet. The sounds of Kroya and Logan paddling echoed in the air, amplifying every movement. The water surface swayed gently, the wooden barrel floated erratically, and white splashes of water swirled and disappeared.

The water here is deep, the rock walls are rough and there is nowhere to put your footing. Only a few rock pillars hang down into the water from above, which can be used to support your body. Apart from that, it is pitch black, and you cannot know what is around you. Only the wooden barrel under you is the only reliable and reassuring thing.

Suddenly, an unusual ripple appeared on the water's surface, as if something had broken through it.

Its massive back peeked out of the water a little before immediately sinking back down.

"Logan, something's coming." Kroya sensed something was wrong. A sense of malice came from his left rear. He turned around but saw nothing, only several wooden barrels floating to the sides.

"What is it?"

"Underwater!"

Kroya released his grip on the silver bucket and deliberately fell into the water. He began to charge up his attack, and the dissipating magic power illuminated the water. Logan was momentarily confused, but he quickly realized something was wrong.

Something swept across the bottom of the barrel, causing the water to flow and split the barrel to the sides. Countless neat ripples spread across the water's surface, and white water droplets moved forward in a "V" shape, revealing a deep blue back emerging from the water.

Needless to say, it was definitely a monster. Logan swam to the side with the bucket, trying to avoid its path.

Underwater, Croya could clearly see the other's full appearance. It had a head that resembled a dinosaur from his previous life, a torso like a large crocodile, thick and powerful limbs, and its body was covered with hard scales. There was a row of sharp bone spikes in the center of its back. It twisted its body and charged towards Croya and Logan, opening its blood-red maw. Croya could clearly see two rows of sharp teeth in its mouth.

With nowhere to hide in the water, all Kroya could do was swing his sword. He unleashed a charged slash, gathering two units of magic power, while simultaneously twisting his body to avoid a direct confrontation with his opponent.

Kroya's sword slashed across the opponent's left side, taking advantage of the opponent's extremely fast speed as they charged, the sword sliced ​​through the body like cutting through flesh, but did not penetrate too deeply. The intense pain caused the opponent to twist its body and throw Kroya away, and the sword stopped on the opponent's back. Blood stained the water red, and the opponent changed direction and charged towards Logan, biting into the silver barrel.

"Bang"

The immense bite force shattered the silver barrel. Logan narrowly escaped the monster's jaws, but was then sent flying by its head.

"Climb up!"

Kroya took the bow off his back, preparing to draw it and shoot to cover Logan, but the bowstring, now wet, lost its elasticity, greatly reducing the power of the arrows and breaking completely when Kroya fired his third arrow.

Logan swam toward the rock pillar where Kroya was. The arrow Kroya shot bought him time, and he was now very close.

But as the bowstring snapped and no more arrows were fired, the monster swam at top speed in the water and crashed straight into Logan's back. Based on the impact that Kroya had just felt underwater, this attack was enough to smash an ordinary person to pieces.

"Give me your hand!"

Kroya reached out and pulled Logan out of the water. The monster's attack came immediately, crashing into the stone pillar without restraint and completely breaking and destroying its lower part.

"Haahahahaha......."

Logan was breathing heavily. He and Chloe were suspended in mid-air. Chloe was holding onto him with one hand, while the other hand was gripping a protrusion on a stone pillar to support their weight.

Below, the back of that monster is circling.
