Guarding the River of Time-Chapter 362 - 352: Farewell, Li Qiye! The Sheep Has Finally Been Found

Chapter 362: Chapter 352: Farewell, Li Qiye! The Sheep Has Finally Been Found

This creature, with white fur, looks like a sheep at first glance, but its horns are unique, more like dragon horns, with a glazed amber hue, glowing with specks of light.

Its fur is snow-white, crystal clear, like crystal needles, stepping on the river water, gently stirring up ripples as it walks.

Its pupils are deep, like two Luminous Pearls, very profound and beautiful, and it is about the size of a full-grown sheep.

It walks on the surface of the Long River, moving gracefully.

....

Originally walking leisurely, it turned a corner at the bend of the river, and saw a man busy repairing the embankment.

At the moment their eyes met, the sheep was stunned for a second, then turned and ran away.

Today, Su Mu happened to discover a stone embankment destroyed by a flood. While he was fervently repairing it, he turned his head and saw a sheep??

A sheep leisurely strolling on the river, for a moment he thought he was seeing things.

A water sheep??

The next moment, as he came to his senses, the sheep bolted away.

Seeing this, Su Mu put down his tools and gave chase.

Having guarded the river for so many years, it was his first time seeing such a peculiar creature. It wasn’t strange to see a sheep, but a sheep walking on the river was quite unusual, like a pig climbing a tree and swinging on it.

...

This sheep was quite fast and clever, avoiding the main river and instead running through the complex network of tributaries.

By the time Su Mu reached the tributaries, it had already disappeared.

However, for Su Mu, as long as it was still on this river, it couldn’t escape his eyes.

As he released his Divine Sense, he instantly locked onto the sheep’s position.

In almost a breath’s time, he blocked in front of the sheep.

Seeing the man suddenly appear, the sheep was startled and panicked, ready to turn and run, but how could Su Mu give it a second chance to escape.

The spirit pressure instantly descended upon it, immobilizing it where it stood.

As Su Mu approached and examined the sheep, his eyes brightened.

This sheep wasn’t an ordinary sheep; it was a Spirit Beast. But upon closer inspection, it had no signs of life at all, lacking the characteristics that creatures should have.

This instantly piqued Su Mu’s interest.

It seems like it can be brought back for research.

...

Thus, Su Mu lifted the sheep with one hand.

Returning the same way, he fixed the damaged embankment and secured two thousand Favor Points.

As it was getting late, he prepared to head home.

.....

After returning home, Nannan, who had finished her cultivation, curiously approached.

"Daddy, what is this?"

Nannan looked curiously at the sheep Su Mu was holding, asking in confusion.

"It should be a sheep, I think."

Su Mu replied.

"Such a cute little sheep." Nannan reached out to touch the sheep’s snow-white fur: "Daddy, why does this sheep look different from the ones in the atlas?"

"Go, take a walk around." Su Mu said to the little sheep with a smile.

What seemed like a gentle smile to Su Mu appeared quite "sinister" in the little sheep’s eyes.

It sprinted around the river for a lap.

Seeing this, Nannan’s eyes lit up: "This little sheep actually lives in the river?!"

"Let’s lock it up for now."

So saying, Su Mu lifted the little sheep with one hand and locked it in an iron cage in the backyard.

....

Upon arriving at the backyard, he found the "Five Little Ones" conducting a "parade inspection."

The Little Groundhog stood in front of a group of "followers," delivering a speech.

"For this month’s end examination, the ten at the bottom should, as per my rules, leave of their own accord."

"But considering you’ve made contributions, I’ll give you a chance."

"From next month onward, if you remain at the bottom for three consecutive months, just leave on your own."

As the words fell, the five hundred "little animals" all nodded.

These "little animals" were originally thieves caught stealing medicine from the mystical garden, and the Five Little Ones devised a plan to recruit them, utilizing their value to find various Great Medicine seeds in the River of Time.

In the past year, the garden’s scale expanded by one-third, with remarkable results.

It must be said, these "thieves" who dared to steal from the master’s garden possessed some skills.

A year ago, a total of one thousand were recruited, and over the year, another hundred were caught, leaving only five hundred.

Although a minimum of ten is eliminated each month, some who do nothing are also directly kicked out.

The remaining five hundred are elites, each possessing unique skills.

Last month’s performance champion managed to find thirty excellent Great Medicine seeds, firmly securing the sales crown.

...

Upon seeing the master, the Five Little Ones and five hundred little animals all stood straight.

"Don’t mind me, carry on with your work." Su Mu said to the leading Five Little Ones with a smile.

Su Mu was very pleased with the arrangement by the Five Little Ones.

He had completely entrusted them with running the mystical garden, which was managed thoroughly, with its scale expanding even more.

Su Mu only needed to water it once a month, nothing else required his attention.

This garden provided all the "food" and cultivation resources for Su Mu’s family.

So it was very important indeed.

.....

After locking the sheep in the iron cage, a mark was placed on it so it wouldn’t escape.

"This sheep can enter the river, and its speed is quite impressive."

After securing it, Su Mu said to the Little Groundhog.

Upon hearing this, the eyes of the Five Little Ones instantly brightened.

A good prospect has arrived!

In the River of Time’s waters, there were also some Great Medicines, an area they had not yet explored!

...

Just like that, this sheep was inexplicably recruited.

It became a "worker."

.....

Due to its ability to walk on the River of Time, it was highly favored by the Five Little Ones.

In the next month’s assessment.

It directly defeated the previous sales champion, securing the top spot with fifty Great Medicine seeds in a month.

It became a popular figure.

.....

The Five Little Ones even gave it a nickname, "Little Sheep Ah Fei."

Because it ran very fast on the river, looking like it was flying close to the surface.

Remember, it was the River of Time, yet Ah Fei, seemingly harmless to humans and animals, with no apparent strength, ran so quickly on the River of Time??

....

"Damn it!"

"Lost it again!"

Upon the Long River, a man stood on the water, cursing.
