A dozen investigators spent more than 20 minutes on the frozen river bank and collected a sufficient amount of strange grass. The task assigned by their superiors was completed, and the next step was to return.

However, at this moment, what happened in front of them surprised the investigators.

"Click, click, click..."

There was a sudden sound of things breaking, which immediately attracted the attention of the investigators present.

"No, the frozen river surface has cracked." An investigator exclaimed.

"Come here quickly." The investigator carrying a basket shouted to his companion who was still standing on the ice.

The investigator wearing a scarf previously said that the ice surface was very solid and there would be no problems, but now that this happened, it was really embarrassing.

Hearing the shouts of his companions, the investigator standing on the ice immediately ran to the shore.

Although the cracking of the frozen river surface occurred very suddenly, due to the very fast response of the investigators, no one fell into the river after the frozen river surface completely shattered.

"Click, click, click..."

The sound of the river breaking continued as all investigators retreated to the shore.

After about ten seconds, a loud bang was heard, a hole exploded in the broken ice of the river, and a fish covered in spikes jumped out of the river.

This fish is very strange. It is two meters long and has gray scales. The most striking thing is that this fish has many hedgehog-like spikes on its surface.

"It's a fish," the investigator wearing a scarf said.

"This fish looks so weird!" said the investigator carrying a basket on his back.

"This is the spiritual world. The appearance of such strange-looking fish is actually not very special." said the investigator wearing a scarf.

"That's true. Before I was transferred here, when I went on a mission with others, I also encountered a very strange-looking fish. In terms of strange appearance, it was no worse than the fish in front of me?"

The investigator carrying the basket said.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

After the first fish with spikes jumped out of the river, another fish with the same length jumped out of the river soon after.

Numerous potholes immediately appeared on the frozen river surface in front of the investigators.

These fish with spikes are not afraid of the cold, allowing the cold wind and snow to hit their bodies without showing any discomfort.

The investigator leading the team did not detect any psychic energy fluctuations in these fish that ran out of the river, so his tense nerves immediately relaxed a little.

"What are these guys doing?" The investigator wearing a scarf was very confused when he saw these fish with spikes running out of the river twisting their bodies and sliding on the surface of the river.

"At present, it seems that they are not aggressive, and they are not strange animals. We don't need to pay attention to them..." said the investigator carrying a basket on his back.

Subsequently, investigators at the scene saw the spiked fish begin to slide farther away, and as they twisted their bodies faster, the sliding speed also increased.

After a while, except for one fish that stayed on the spot, the other fish with spikes all slipped away on the undamaged river surface and disappeared into the white curtain of snow.
