On the way back to Jinling City from the Imperial City, Chen Jian continuously received news from the Mechanical God Sect, the Holy Blood Temple, and the Ring Chamber of Commerce about that whale catfish monster.
It was indeed moving south, and at a considerable speed.
Chen Jian's team's small unit, unburdened by supplies, could cover three to four hundred kilometers a day, and the monster nearly paralleled their pace.
When the team reached Quan City, the monster attacked Langya.
Upon arriving in Zhuolu, the monster attacked Salt Ditch.
Returning to Jinling City, someone witnessed the monster land at the Yangtze River Estuary.
Afterwards, it completely vanished from human sight.
According to estimates of the whale catfish's speed on land, it could likely reach Jinling in four to five days.
But whether it would launch a direct attack or wait for a larger beast tide to gather before making a move was beyond Chen Jian's ability to speculate.
All he could do was one thing.
