Shadow Hack
chapter-444

An enormous giant creature could be seen pushing through the waves and rushing toward the sole neutral city in North Blue, Whale City. The ocean beast halfway out of the water, and that part alone was more than two hundred meters long. The creature looked like an enormous manatee.

On top of its head were two purple horns. It also had eight thick and powerful limbs with sharp claws along with three beastly tails like iron whips.

It was clear at first glance that this enormous beast was extraordinary.

"Quickly come and see, another lord has come."

On the coast, many porters, beast taming masters, and slaves rushed over to admire the manatee. Although they belonged to the lowest class and were just ordinary people, they had seen visitors from all corners of the world after living in Whale City for a while. Because of that, they weren't too surprised when they saw the enormous beast pushing through the waves.

"This seems like an evolved manatee."

"It doesn't only seem like one. I have seen an ocean cow beast before. I've lived in this city for many years, and this is my third time encountering one."

Many powerhouses from everywhere came to Whale City. Flux experts which were extremely rare and revered on Blue Moon Island could easily be found here.

The lowest class of porters and beast taming masters received some of them occasionally.

From that, they knew that a person who was riding an evolved manatee would be extraordinary no matter what their cultivation level. After all, a giant beast which was exceptionally formidable and unique wouldn't serve someone with ordinary status or strength.

Because of that, a large group of people instantly rushed over.

"Lord, whom do you need to serve you? This little me is a native of Whale City and is exceptionally familiar with the great streets and small alleys."

"This noble gentleman, we possess a superb place where giant creatures can rest."

"Young master, do you need a guide? This old servant is extremely familiar with the markets of Whale City and even understands the rules of the underground market. If you aren't satisfied with this old servant, we also have a house of young sisters—you can choose any of them."

When Li Yunmu stepped on the port of Whale City, he was surrounded by several people specializing in different trades and hoping to do some business with him.

This situation was brought upon because he had ridden the ocean cow to the Whale Island. He hadn't expected that the beast races serving under the sea breeze whale would attract such interest.

The manatee on which he had ridden was a giant beast grade creature from one of the races serving under the sea breeze whale. For an ordinary powerhouse, they would be able to capture such a beast, let alone make it swear allegiance. The evolved manatees weren't something which could be trifled with easily, so no one dared to get close to them.

This meant that a flux expert who rode one had to have obtained the favor of the whole race. In respect to them, the manatees had dispatched one of their own to help the person instead of being captured and forced to swear allegiance.

Li Yunmu had taken the initiative to reveal his true colors and come to the Whale Island without concealing his identity, capturing the attention of many people of the prosperous island.

As a matter of fact, this was the result which he wanted; otherwise, why would he suddenly appear in such high profile, unlike his normal actions.

"I have come to find the Underworld Serpent," he said in a calm voice while facing several hundred people. Although his voice wasn't very loud, it suppressed the noise of the crowd.

Once everyone heard his words, they instantly turned silent.

Underworld Serpent?

That organization wasn't an ordinary business, and anyone who had dealings with them wasn't an ordinary flux expert. Sure enough, as they had expected, the youngster who could summon a manatee wasn't ordinary.

"This guest, I am the connection to the Underworld Serpent for this harbour. I request that you follow me."

While everyone was silent, a person who was drinking wine by himself at an outdoor bar suddenly raised his hat, revealing half of his face. His voice was neither too fast nor too slow.

Once Li Yunmu saw him, he was shaken.

As expected, Underworld Serpent isn't ordinary. The person to receive the customers alone already has profound strength and surpasses my expectations.

If the system wasn't mistaken, he had already reached great flux master level. As for his exact strength, the other person could sense the probing, so the system didn't scan him deeply.

"Good, then I will trouble you to guide me."

Li Yunmu nodded and went to him without saying anything. The person from Underworld Serpent elegantly threw a few silver sand coins on the table and settled his account.

"Then I request you to follow me," the other party said bluntly and disappeared from everyone's gaze with Li Yunmu in tow.

Li Yunmu, who was following behind him, was certain that if he hadn't come while riding on the ocean cow, the other party would not have personally received him, because he wouldn't have qualified given his low cultivation.

The other party had only taken the initiative to reveal their identity because of Li Yunmu's 'extraordinary' status. And it was obvious to him.

Before long, Li Yunmu followed the other party into the inner city. After taking a few turns, he entered a very inconspicuous shop which sold beast furs.

Afterwards, he used the private teleport channel of Underworld Serpent and entered a bunker room. The person who had brought him in left then, and before long a woman came into the room.

Her appearance caught Li Yunmu off guard. Surprisingly, she was an ordinary noble. She appeared quite elegant, and her conversation style was quite pleasant, like the spring.

Soon, she guided it to the main business.

"Young Master Li, I wonder what sort of business you have brought for our Underworld Serpent."

The woman's tone suddenly changed. Previously she had been pleasant like the spring, but now she was completely serious.

"I wonder what sort of task is best suitable for your organization."

Li Yunmu only had some superficial knowledge about Underworld Serpent.

It had been collected by the system during his previous few visits to Whale City. The reason it didn't gather anything detailed was because this organization wasn't working out in the open.

The main thing Li Yunmu knew about the organization was its enormity and strength.

Everyone knew that the Origin World was extensive, almost boundless. At least, humans haven't been able to find its end. However, it was was said that among the organizations which had branches in all corners of the Origin World already explored, Underworld Serpent was among the frontrunners.
