I. Research Background
Incident Overview: Following the sea monster disaster in Tianhai City in August, the underground activities of the Sea Monster Clan have drawn our high attention. The Sea Monster Clan, utilizing a complex underground river network, not only successfully infiltrated Cloud Lake but also caused immense destruction to Tianhai City.
Research Objectives: To conduct an in-depth study of the Sea Monster Clan’s underground river network, understand their strategic layout, and their cultivation of spiritual items on land, providing a basis for formulating subsequent countermeasures.
II. Analysis of the Underground River Network
1. Network Scale:
The Sea Monster Clan’s underground river network is extensive, with Jiulong River as its main artery, connecting multiple key areas, including Qingyun River, Sancha River, and North River.
2. Network Structure:
The underground river network has a complex structure, comprising numerous branches and nodes, facilitating rapid movement for the Sea Monster Clan. It poses a significant hidden danger to the entire Ninth Administrative District.
3. Underground River Network’s
III. Analysis of the Sea Monster Clan
1. Overview:
Within the Sea Monster Clan, there exist Sages, who are equivalent to the entire Sea Monster Clan’s Royal Family. Their power originates from the powerful entities behind the major Alien Races, and various Alien Races appear to have formed an alliance.
The Sages hold absolute control over the Sea Monster Clan and possess an extremely thorough invasion plan for the entire Blue Star.
One of the Sea Monster Clan’s plans is to leverage the land’s spiritual energy environment to cultivate special spiritual items in large quantities. They have also conducted various experimental data analyses on these spiritual items, aiming to create a second intelligent race on Blue Star to replace the Human Race, inherit its Luck, and seize the Ancient God’s inheritance.

Although some anticipation was present, Bai Yu was still somewhat stunned upon seeing this intelligence.
The underground river network itself wasn’t much of a concern.
It was the Sages among the sea monsters, the Royal Family of the Sea Monster Clan!
“To create a second intelligent biological race to replace the Human Race!?”
“Just looking at it feels a bit insane. This plan definitely didn’t start recently. After all, it’s been seventeen years since the Spiritual Qi Awakening, and the annihilation of the Human Race isn’t far off.”
Bai Yu quickly scanned through it. The most valuable piece of intelligence was the map of the underground river network in the Tianhai City area.
“This information is a bit difficult to hand over.”
He couldn’t possibly say he divined and directly saw the entire underground river network; that would be too far-fetched.
But given the current situation, he had to say it!
“I’ll just say that during my divination, I possessed the Sea Monster Clan’s prophet and obtained this map. So, do you want it or not!”
“Speaking of which, three days ago, no! It should be four days ago! I already received information that the Sea Monsters and Fishman Race would invade Tianhai City.”
“The disaster occurred on the 25th. According to my original plan, I intended to go back and fight!”
“But based on this intelligence, the attack will proceed as planned.”
“The Sea Monster Clan’s ambitions are so deep, and their underground river network is likely already in a state of Major Accomplishment. Even if they don’t invade from Cloud Lake, they can attack from other places. This will depend on the capabilities of the higher-ups!”
Bai Yu then looked at the information that was most valuable to him.
“For me, the greatest gain is this map of extraordinary resource point distribution.”
Seven points were marked on it, and one of them looked like the location of the stalactite they had captured today.
Unfortunately, the other six points were not specified. He would have to search for them himself.
But at least the points were marked! It wouldn’t be too difficult to find.
“As expected, the value of intelligence has greatly increased! The stronger one’s power, the lower the price to uncover deeper secrets? It should be like this.”
Without further ado, Bai Yu began to record this intelligence.
He also used his laptop to draw out the entire grid map of the Tianhai City area.
He would hand it over to Director Yang first thing in the morning, letting him worry about it.
He glanced at the time; it was only 12:30 AM.
Bai Yu took out the 4 liters of Third Rank quality Spirit Milk he had obtained.
“This is Third Rank quality, and I took nearly half of it.”
“I just don’t know how effective it will be.”
Without further ado, after rinsing himself, he began to apply it.
This substance was like fermented yogurt, quite viscous, and had a fresh scent.
When applied to the skin, it felt cool and refreshing, quite gentle.
However, after a short while, his skin began to feel a burning sensation.
Then it penetrated into his body, making him feel incredibly hot.
Bai Yu calmed himself and began to circulate the Nine Heavens Thunder Movement True Technique!
In the blink of an eye, it was dawn.
He went directly to the restaurant from last night for breakfast, still with the same Spirit Crab.
Early in the morning, they began to review the cases that had occurred in Sancha River Town recently and decide which ones to start with.
Bai Yu quietly said a few words to Li Yunbin.
After listening, Li Yunbin took out his special communication device, operated it for a while, and then dialed Director Yang’s number.
Every Group Leader had a special communication instrument for contacting superiors.
However, Director Yang was special and usually wasn’t responsible for this.
After Bai Yu joined, Director Yang was switched to online, and communication increased.
After completing the operation, Bai Yu took his phone and entered another unoccupied private room, setting up a soundproof barrier.
“Ring~ Ring~ Ring~ Ring~”
As Li Yunbin had said, it would only be answered on the fourth ring; any other ring meant something was wrong.
After it was answered, there was no sound from the other side.
Bai Yu tentatively asked, “Director Yang?”
“Oh, it’s you calling. What’s the matter?”
“There is something. After the battle with the sea monsters last night, I divined some information.”
“Mm. What information?”
Bai Yu had naturally thought this through long ago. He started by talking about the underground river network, then led into the divined information about the Tianhai City disaster, its specific time, and its scale.
Finally, Bai Yu took a deep breath and said sternly, “At the end of the divination, I seemed to see a scene. There is a group of special beings within the Sea Monster Clan!”
“What you saw was likely the Sages.”
Bai Yu: !!!
The higher-ups already knew?
That’s right! This group might not be a secret to the higher-ups.
After a moment of silence, Bai Yu said, “By the way, I have obtained the map of the underground river network in Tianhai City and its surrounding areas.”
The other side fell silent.
Director Yang really wanted to ask if Bai Yu had obtained the Map of Mountains and Rivers and the Bagua inheritance from Fuxi. Otherwise, he truly couldn’t understand what kind of ability allowed him to accomplish so much!
But he tacitly chose not to say anything more.
Seeing that there was no response, Bai Yu continued, “This is all I know. The rest is up to Director Yang.”
“In what format is your underground river map recorded?”
“It’s recorded on the computer and is currently on a USB Drive.”
“Alright, I’ll send someone to pick it up now. The code phrase is…”
“Right! There’s one more thing. This matter concerns the Sakura Island people. They are currently investigating the Black Lotus Flower Petal. I divined that in three days, on the 16th, at 7 PM, something will happen in Gu Tower Village.”
“The Black Blood Case is being handled by Yuan Guofeng. I will inform him.”
After saying that, he hung up.
???
You knew I was finished?
Did you ask me where I was?
Do we have the Big Dipper on us?
Returning to the private room, everything was as usual, and they discussed today’s actions.
Zhao Bin had spent the entire night organizing the data and said, “There are quite a few cases.”
“Since our battle last night occurred in the Sancha River area, my focus has also been on this location.”
“The cases compiled so far are roughly as follows: First, regarding cases of Blood Monster activity, according to eyewitnesses, these monsters are mostly active at night and generally in dense forests. The incidents of livestock disappearing from villages are currently attributed to Blood Monsters.”
“What’s strange is that in the Sancha River area, there haven’t been any cases of Blood Monsters killing people.”
“Second, it’s the issue of the underground river. Related to this are the incidents of Water Monkeys killing people in the wells and the Sancha River area some time ago, with a total of nine victims. Eyewitnesses claimed to have seen a black shadow in the water dragging people down, but there were no further details, and the descriptions were unclear.”
As he spoke, he sent the information to the others.
Bai Yu asked doubtfully, “I remember that many cities west of Sancha River have tourists who visit the small paths around Sancha River. Have there been any cases of tourist disappearances?”
Zhao Bin naturally knew of Bai Yu’s unique abilities, so his question must have a reason.
“There have indeed been several cases of tourist disappearances.”
“I’ve seen four so far, and I’ve carefully reviewed the investigation reports for all of them. Most of them went into the mountains to play and then disappeared.”
Hearing this, Bai Yu frowned.
Only four cases?
To be honest, from the WeChat chat records from yesterday, he felt the atmosphere was that the area had become a den, where anyone who entered would die!
It was like a “scam” park, an abyss.
For cases of missing persons, the authorities shouldn’t have missed too many, right?
Bai Yu looked at the data compiled by Zhao Bin and, after considering it, said, “Then our group will go to He Tian Village downstream of Sancha River today to take a look.”
As he spoke, Bai Yu also looked at Yu Rundong and Jiang Liyue and said directly, “Tenth Group, investigate the Water Monkeys. Seventeenth Group, since you all have shadow-type abilities, how about searching the mountain forest areas?”
Hearing this, Jiang Liyue looked at Bai Yu, then at Li Yunbin, and blinked.
Li Yunbin calmly tasted some crab roe and said, “We can follow Bai Yu’s arrangements for this.”
Jiang Liyue smiled and said, “Okay!”
As she spoke, she carefully looked at Bai Yu, as if trying to discern something.
The group had just finished eating, and only half an hour had passed since the phone call, when someone arrived to collect the USB Drive.
The visitor wasn’t very mysterious.
They looked like a familiar acquaintance, and Li Yunbin and the others recognized them as a Contract Personnel with Spirit Yuan Realm strength.
In the car.
Zhao Bin couldn’t help but ask, “Are there any issues with the missing persons aspect?”
Bai Yu thought for a moment and said directly, “I suspect that He Tian Village downstream of Sancha River might have a den specifically for capturing external travelers.”
Hearing this, Zhao Bin frowned. While investigating the data, he had naturally researched this matter and said, “The economy of the villages in the entire Sancha River area is quite good. Even every household can build a three-story villa, and there are Bed and Breakfasts.”
“Many tourists stay in this area, so the population flow within the villages shouldn’t be small.”
“However, we haven’t heard of any large-scale tourist disappearances occurring.”
Bai Yu had naturally also seen the data.
He was looking for problems with an answer in hand, yet he didn’t find a large number of missing person cases, which naturally made him feel that the investigation and handling of affairs in this area were not effective.
However, he hadn’t directly interacted with the situation yet and didn’t know the specifics.
He could only say, “Let’s go and see first.”
“Okay!”
After the car drove for a while, Bai Yu looked at the car from the Seventeenth Group following behind.
He couldn’t help but quietly ask Liu Feifei, “By the way, what’s Jiang Liyue’s relationship with our Group Leader?”
Liu Feifei blinked, wanting to say something but finding it difficult.
However, Li Yunbin in the front coughed and said, “Cough~ Our families’ elders have a good relationship, and we played together when we were young.”
“Oh, oh.”
But he couldn’t help but ask curiously, “Childhood engagement, marriage contract, engagement annulment?”
“No, just a good relationship.”
“I understand! Sister Wanqing intercepted him.”
Hearing this, Qin Wanqing, in the passenger seat, blushed.
Bai Yu stretched lazily.
Gossiping about others was quite entertaining.
If he were the subject of gossip, he wouldn’t be so cheerful.
The three cars soon separated.
Jiang Liyue entered the dense forest.
Yu Rundong stopped in the middle section of the river. Their car carried a lot of equipment, which could be used to detect the place where the sea monster escaped last night.
Bai Yu and the others’ car continued downstream.
The downstream area was divided, splitting He Tian Village into four parts, referred to as the （East, West, Blue, North） Villages.
Bai Yu and his group first arrived at North Village, the closest to the dense forest.
As soon as they stopped the car at the village entrance, they saw a man with a shaved head, buck teeth, dirty clothes, and a somewhat bloated physique.
He had been squatting but stood up upon seeing Bai Yu and the others. He lowered his head slightly, looking at them with strange eyes.
Bai Yu frowned.
He felt a sense of weird surveillance.
But then, the buck-toothed man suddenly burst into laughter: “Heh heh~ Heh heh heh~”
Bai Yu: .
It was clear that this was a person with intellectual disabilities.
Perhaps a more pleasant term: the village guardian!
As a child, one might have teased such people.
As an adult, or after economic improvement, they might be cared for by the community, serving as a mascot.
At this moment, several children in the village, around ten years old, called out his name directly: “Tian Sheng! Come catch us!”
“Silly! Come chase us!”
With that, the children threw a few small stones.
The man also chased after them madly.
Zhao Bin looked at the information on his tablet and said, “There’s a household in this village that once reported discovering strange creatures in the mountains, with red skin. Shall we start from here?”
“Okay!”
However, just as Bai Yu was about to enter the village, he suddenly recalled a detail that was easily overlooked!
“Wait a moment!”
Zhao Bin asked doubtfully, “What’s wrong?”
Bai Yu glanced at the fool and then said, “I forgot something in the car.”
“.”
But Bai Yu’s reaction clearly indicated it wasn’t as simple as he said.
He quickly got into the car and closed the door.
Bai Yu took a deep breath.
“Hoo~ Tian Sheng! That fool’s name is actually Tian Sheng!?”
“It seems that in the predetermined Fate Line, intelligence guidance is not needed. According to Zhao Bin’s arrangement, I would also come to He Tian Village and meet this Tian Sheng.”
“Now that the value of Intelligence Value has increased, a person with intellectual disabilities, a village guardian, worth one point of Intelligence Value, could be the key to breaking the deadlock!?”
Could he be a witness like in movies?
He directly redeemed this intelligence.
However, upon seeing the content, he was suddenly shocked.
Demon! Demon Contractor!
