Deep underground, sand and soil churned. Countless ink-colored threads condensed into the shape of a drill, burrowing forward. Soon, the moisture in the soil ahead grew heavier, and Mo Si burst through the rock layer, entering a river. It swam upstream against the current and finally entered Taihu Lake.
SWISH—
Accompanied by the rippling lake water, Mo Si rapidly transformed, reconstructing itself into the form of a blackfish—head, body, and tail, all remarkably lifelike. It even simulated the python-like patterns on the blackfish's surface using dark-gold silken threads. Mo Si's overall Dark Gold transformation progress was nearing forty percent; it only needed to devour about three hundred more taels of precious metals to become completely dark gold.
The appearance of the massive blackfish caused the fish, shrimp, and crabs on the lake bottom to instinctively swim away, while the blackfish itself flicked its tail, gliding forward with a lazy air.
