行行行复行行！ Three days passed quickly. During these three days, reinforcements from the O'Neill family were almost reaching the Kingdom of Light, while reinforcements from the Pagoda Empire were also nearing the rifts in the Demon Realm Space.
However, Zhao Hai had already arranged everything for these two places. He only needed to occasionally communicate with Fei'er and the others to maintain contact; he didn't need to handle anything else.
After three days, Zhao Hai and the others surfaced again. In the distance, there was indeed a landmass. This time, with the experience of Bubble, it sank into the sea without Zhao Hai's reminder and swam towards that land, then found a riverway to enter the continent.
Bubble initially wanted to find a smaller riverway to enter, but Zhao Hai disagreed. He instructed Bubble to find a large riverway, and they entered the continent through that river.
Once they were in the river, Zhao Hai and the others looked for a populated area. After listening for a while, they finally heard a few place names. Upon hearing these names, Xiao Bingya and the others finally let out a sigh of relief. Xiao Bingya turned to Zhao Hai and said, “Sir, there’s no mistake; this is it! This is the Central Continent. Let’s move!”
Although they received a definitive answer from Xiao Bingya, Zhao Hai smiled and shook his head, saying, “There’s no rush. If we act now, we won’t gain much.”
Xiao Bingya looked at Zhao Hai in confusion. Zhao Hai smiled slightly and said, “Do you know why I insisted that Bubble find a large riverway to enter the Central Continent?”
Xiao Bingya and the others shook their heads. Zhao Hai continued with a smile, “Because a continent and a large river are often its vital transportation arteries. If we entered through a small waterway, we might reach the river's source in no time and wouldn't be able to penetrate deep into the continent. However, by entering through a large riverway, we have a good chance of delving deep into the continent, attacking important cities. If we can directly attack their capital city, that would be even better. How much commotion can we create by attacking a small city? Moreover, if their command system is intact, they can react immediately and send troops to surround us. But if we can attack their capital, what kind of reaction do you think that would provoke?”
Upon hearing Zhao Hai's words, Xiao Bingya and the others were momentarily stunned, then their eyes lit up.
Xiao Bingya laughed heartily and said, “Sir, this is truly a sign from the heavens! The capital of the Central Continent is not far from their largest river, the Divine Gift River. Even if ordinary magical beasts walk, it wouldn’t take many days. If we flew, it would probably take less than an hour. If this river is indeed the Divine Gift River, then we can directly head for their capital!”
Zhao Hai was taken aback; he really didn’t know about this. Now that he heard Xiao Bingya mention it, he immediately became interested. He looked at Xiao Bingya and asked, “Bingya, are you serious? Where should we land?”
Xiao Bingya smiled, “You don’t need to worry about this, Sir. Outside the capital of the Central Continent, there are four satellite cities, and Divine Gift City is right next to the Divine Gift River. As long as we reach Divine Gift City, we can head straight for the capital.”
Zhao Hai's spirits lifted as he nodded, “Good, that’s the best plan. Bubble, don’t dive too deep; we need to pay attention to the situation on the shore.” Bubble acknowledged and continued forward in the river, but their speed slowed down, keeping a close watch on the shore.
Zhao Hai was careful about the shore for two reasons: first, to find Divine Gift City, and second, to see if the Central Continent was prepared. If they had preparations in place, Zhao Hai and his group would face trouble advancing; if they were unprepared, then everything would be manageable.
Although Zhao Hai believed they weren’t moving fast, they were still much quicker than ordinary boats. Soon, they had advanced deeply into the river. During this process, they confirmed that the river they were in was indeed the Divine Gift River of the Central Continent. This discovery made Zhao Hai and his group very happy; they had not taken the wrong path but were indeed going in the right direction.
