The moment the palm made contact, the body felt petrified, as if countless iron nails were driven into every inch of flesh, pinning it mercilessly in place, unable to move.

It wasn't just the body; even the soul felt the same way.

However, this feeling only lasted for a moment before it vanished.

Although it was just an instant, the strange, suffocating feeling made beads of cold sweat appear on Su Mu's forehead.

...

This must be an extraordinary treasure, and... very peculiar, more so than any treasure Su Mu had ever encountered before.

At this moment, the Tiger-headed Whale was also staring fearfully at the iron anchor on the ground, feeling scared.

Su Mu waved his large hand, collecting the iron anchor; since it's a treasure, it can't be missed.

.....

Gong——

The Tiger-headed Whale let out a cry, then leaped into the air, quickly diving back into the tributary.

However, this section of the tributary was too narrow and too shallow to accommodate the Tiger Whale.

Upon seeing this, Su Mu waved his large hand, lifting the Tiger Whale, and stepped on the water, heading towards the main river channel.

How is this guy so heavy!

Having moved it only a few hundred meters, Su Mu was already gasping for breath; he finally transferred the Tiger Whale to the main river channel.

Once back in the main river channel, the Tiger Whale swam circles around Su Mu, rolling its body, happily slapping the water, creating wave after wave of splashes, showing how happy it was.

In the next moment, the Tiger Whale swam in front of Su Mu, revealing its back, indicating for Su Mu to step on.

Hearing the mental transmission from the Tiger Whale, Su Mu's eyes lit up.

"You want to take me to find treasures?"

This sentence hit the sweet spot of Su Mu's heart.

Yes, exactly, otherwise wouldn't those fifty-five thousand Favor Points be given in vain?

Just like that, Su Mu stood on the back of the Tiger-headed Whale, swimming downstream along the main river channel.

On this journey, wherever the Tiger Whale swam, all the big fish in the water would avoid it, escaping in a hurry. From this, it was clear that this Little Tiger Head was truly an overlord in the river!

But it makes sense; in the past life, whales have always been major overlords of the ocean.

Little Tiger Head is the nickname Su Mu gave it; it looks big, with a tiger's demeanor, and the nickname Little Tiger Head suits it well.

...

Su Mu, sitting on the back of the Little Tiger Whale, had swum quite far.

Suddenly, in the waters ahead, a large amount of silkweed, floating wood, and other debris appeared, as well as several fragments of broken wood washed into the river by the flood, blocking the channel and stopping the Tiger Whale.

At this time, just as Su Mu was about to clear the channel.

The Little Tiger Whale let out a low roar, and the next moment, a large group of black fish resembling cleaners quickly swam out of the river, starting to clear away the debris blocking the channel.

Within just a few minutes, all the debris in the river channel was cleared away.

Seeing this scene, Su Mu was also taken aback, looking at the Little Tiger Head beneath his feet.

Goodness, turns out this Little Tiger Head is quite a boss, having so many underlings!

The next moment, the system's broadcast voice sounded:

[Congratulations, Host! Your Water Beast has cleared silkweed from the water, Favor Points +20]

...

[Congratulations, Host! Your Water Beast has cleared silkweed from the water, Favor Points +30]

....

[Congratulations, Host! Your Water Beast has cleared wooden debris from the water, Favor Points +50]

A series of reward notification sounds echoed in his mind; within moments, a thousand Favor Points were received!

[Friendly Reminder: Due to the Host's low affinity, only one-tenth of the Favor Points from the contracted Water Beast's activities can be received.]

Upon hearing this, Su Mu understood.

It turns out, as long as the Water Beast he contracted maintains order in the river or clears river debris, he can also receive Favor Points in return!

However, he can only receive one-tenth.

This means that if he himself cleared them, he could get ten thousand, but if the contracted Water Beast cleared them, he could only get one thousand.

What a pleasant surprise!

From now on, while he patrols, he can have Little Tiger Head lead its subordinates to patrol other places and clear river channels. Though the earned Favor Points might not be much, they are at least better than nothing. This way, his rate of earning Favor Points would greatly increase.

This is equivalent to having a diligent worker who immediately earns him Favor Points!

In this moment, Su Mu looked at the Little Tiger Head at his feet more pleasantly than ever.

...

After clearing, the Little Tiger Whale continued to carry Su Mu along the river channel downstream.

Soon, trouble occurred again.

The stone dam ahead had collapsed, and the flood had washed out several large boulders.

Seeing this, with a command from Little Tiger Head, a large group of sizable crabs appeared, starting to work together to clear away the fragments.

[Congratulations, Host! Your Water Beast has cleared stone fragments from the water, Favor Points +40]

...

[Congratulations, Host! Your Water Beast has cleared stone fragments from the water, Favor Points +35]

....

[Congratulations, Host! Your Water Beast has cleared stone fragments from the water, Favor Points +55]

....

In this moment again, five hundred Favor Points were received.

However, although there were many crabs, they could only clear small fragments. Anything over five centimeters couldn't be moved.

Moreover, there were several large boulders.

It seems their abilities are limited; they can only clear very small areas, and for slightly larger scales like this, I have to step in.

Su Mu waved his large hand, easily moving several large stones and those boulders out of the river channel.

And also repaired the collapsed stone dam.

[Congratulations, Host! You cleared large stones from the water, Favor Points +600]

...

[Congratulations, Host! You cleared large stones from the water, Favor Points +650]

....

[Congratulations, Host! You cleared boulders from the water, Favor Points +1055]

....

[Congratulations, Host! You repaired the collapsed stone dam, Favor Points +1555]

.....

In this moment, several thousand Favor Points were received again.

Don't think earning Favor Points is easy now; it's because post-flood there are many issues in the river channel.

In the past, there were nowhere near this many major activities to do.

.....

After clearing, the Little Tiger Whale, seeing the owner easily handling the problems, also showed a look of admiration in its eyes.

Such serious problems, the owner solved with a wave of his hand....just like that?!

Su Mu's skill left Little Tiger Head a tiniest bit shocked.

.....

After cleaning, the Little Tiger Whale continued to carry Su Mu forward.

Dong——

A loud noise rang out from the river, and the Little Tiger Whale suddenly stopped.

"What happened?"

Su Mu furrowed his brows and asked.
