As night fell, the merchant ship dropped anchor and docked at the riverbank.
Not sailing at night is a rule among the ship men.
On one hand, it lets the sailors rest and recover their physical strength after a long day's work, and on the other hand, it ensures safety.
After dinner, Zhang Yuan went up to the deck.
By now, the moon had risen, its clear light illuminating the great ship and casting a glow on the shimmering Celestial Horse River.
The riverbanks were vast wildernesses without human presence, their profound solitude imparting a desolate feeling.
Due to the presence of strange entities, most people congregate inside the city and its surrounding areas.
It's quite normal not to see households on fertile lands.
Zhang Yuan withdrew his gaze.
Suddenly, he saw a large shadow in the river nearby.
It seemed like a giant beast was swiftly approaching the merchant ship underwater!
Zhang Yuan was instantly startled.
