The Game with Fairies-Chapter 288
In the cold river water, the Moon-Biting Dragon carried the water monkey as it swam.
The struggling water monkey, though small and slender, was tenaciously alive.
Even though its body had been bitten through, it still tried to break free, desperately flailing its limbs.
Feeling the dying struggles of the water monkey in her mouth, she made no extra movements and did not waste her venom on this creature.
Although the water monkey was malevolent, it couldn’t even break through the scales on her body.
The only trouble was that the water monkey was extremely agile in the water, making it very difficult to catch.
This time, taking advantage of the water monkey’s attack on the humans at the shore, she acted promptly and easily bit the creature.
The moment the evil being was bitten by her, its fate was sealed.
After bringing the water monkey back to the riverbed, she happily chewed on it.
With the sound of bones cracking, the water monkey was easily crushed in her jaws, no longer able to struggle.
Soon, she swallowed the entire water monkey.
Compared to her five-zhang-long body, the water monkey was too small.
The sweet and delicious monkey meat transformed into a mysterious energy, which slowly merged into her body, and she could vaguely sense the changes within herself.
These malevolent creatures were ugly, but they provided a lot of mysterious energy.
After digesting the water monkey, she did not leave immediately but lay on the riverbed and waited for a while.
But that person did not return.

Just like before, he came abruptly and violently and left without a trace, without any warning.
But this time, she felt quite at ease.
The last time that person left, he returned after the sun had set and risen again.
She roughly understood that the person would come back at intervals.
Each time, he used her body to hunt and helped her grow.
A few days ago, she was just a pitiful creature nearly killed by humans, but now, she had become a massive being in this river, and it was difficult for humans to harm her.
Even when she appeared in front of humans, the group was so frightened that they dared not move.
Remembering the terrified expressions of those people on the shore just now, she wriggled her body happily, feeling an inexplicable sense of achievement.
Previously in the mountains, she instinctively hid from the hunters.
After gaining intelligence, she still dared not approach humans.
But now, she no longer needed to fear humans.
However, she had no desire to prey on humans.
That person had helped her, and she could vaguely sense that he was a male human.
It would not be good to offend him by preying on his kind.
The Moon-Biting Dragon moved her body and began to swim underwater.
Imitating the posture, movements, and behavior of that person, she started to search the river for the strange and malevolent creatures lurking within.
Although she wanted to learn human language, she could no longer return to that small stream.
She felt a bit lost.
But she thought that by continuing to hunt the evil creatures in the river and becoming stronger, she might be able to find a human specifically to teach her to speak and read.
Yes, find a human, and a very beautiful one at that.
The humans she saw when she bit the water monkey were all ugly. She did not like them.
She liked the pretty and good-looking ones.
……
“Huh? Why has the place changed again?”
The morning sun shone on the turbulent river.
Li Muyang opened his eyes and found himself lying in a gentle bend of the river.
This place was far from where he had last logged off, and everything in his field of vision was very unfamiliar.
The river had also become wider, and the current was somewhat gentler than before, seeming to have entered a more downstream area.
Li Muyang opened his character panel and found that his experience points had inexplicably increased.
When he logged off yesterday, his experience was at LV3 (17%).
But now, the experience bar on the character panel showed LV3 (29%).
During the time he was logged off, had this Flood Dragon body gone hunting by itself?
Li Muyang was quite surprised by this discovery.
“…Is this actually an idle game?”
In his previous life, he had seen many advertisements for trashy web games that claimed you could level up with one-click idling, but he had never played them.
He never expected that after transmigrating, he would actually play a real idle game.
You could level up even without managing it.
In one day, his experience points had increased so much.
Although it was not as fast as when he was actively playing, it was not slow either.
Li Muyang controlled the Moon-Biting Dragon’s body to swim out of the river bend and headed towards the river ahead.
Soon, he found a Gui Fish sleeping in the water grass in a dark river trench.
Many of the malevolent creatures in the river were active at night.
Li Muyang had roughly figured out the patterns of these creatures.
He approached quietly and suddenly launched an attack.
The Gui Fish was hiding in the crevices of the water grass and stones, almost blending in with the water grass.
Thin strands of black lines floated in the water, almost invisible to the naked eye.
These were the “hairs” of the Gui fish, which drifted with the current while the fish slept, sensing the water’s movement around them.
If a large object approached, disturbing the water, the sleeping Gui fish would wake up instantly.
However, Li Muyang was able to move through the water without disturbing any currents.
It wasn’t until he came within three zhang of the Gui fish that his body brushed against one of the delicate black “hairs,” startling the fish awake—but it was already too late.
The five-zhang-long Flood Dragon thrashed violently, biting precisely at the weakest part of the Gui fish’s rolling body.
Venom crazily injected into the fish’s body, and as a level 3 creature that had grown in size, the Moon-Biting Dragon’s venom was even more potent.
The Gui fish, taken by surprise, panicked and tried to escape, but after swimming only ten zhang, its body stiffened and it floated to the surface.
Li Muyang moved his body, crushing the Gui fish with his tail to eliminate any chance of it playing dead and launching a sneak attack.
Then he bit into the fish’s body, chewing the tender and sweet white flesh as he drifted downstream, digesting the Gui fish to gain experience points while searching for other prey.
It was strange how this river, bordered by many villages and cities with incessant boat traffic, harbored a multitude of evil creatures.
Didn’t the people on the banks fear them?
Why didn’t they call upon cultivators to slay these beings?
Or could it be… Hmm…
A thought suddenly struck Li Muyang.
“With so many evil creatures lurking and no cultivators to slay them… could this be the Heavenly Origin Dynasty?”
On his own continent, under the rule of both immortals and demons, it would be impossible for so many evil creatures to coexist with humans.
Evil creatures harmed ordinary people, which in turn affected the interests and tax revenues of the cultivation sects.
How could they be tolerated?
If this was indeed the Heavenly Origin Dynasty, everything would make sense.
As Li Muyang continued downstream, occasionally approaching the large boats to eavesdrop on conversations in an attempt to determine his whereabouts, he overheard two young men on the deck discussing recent events.
