Swish~
The clear stream flowed through the mountains.
A plump fish swam in the stream, seemingly searching for edible shrimp.
Boom!
Suddenly!
A wave violently burst open!
A finger-thick branch was thrust into the stream.
Qin Zheng retracted the branch, at the end of which was a fat fish still struggling fiercely.
He turned and returned to the shore, where a bonfire had already been started.
After briefly processing the fish, he pierced it with the branch and placed it by the fire, waiting patiently for the fish to cook.
This was the second day after Qin Zheng left Black Goose City.
He followed this tributary of the Black Rock River, heading towards the heartlands of Great Jin.
Qingzhou is located in the northwest of Great Jin, and Black Goose City is on the edge, with endless mountains starting just a hundred li beyond the city.
It is an area where the power under Great Jin is weak, so it's understandable that there are disturbances caused by monsters here.
