Chapter 939 The Blood River Creatures (1/2)
The waves roared as they surged along the blood river. Darren and the others realized they'd be whisked away if they tried to cross it directly, and they were forced to flee downstream instead.
”Get them!”
The group of warriors chasing them divided into three groups. Each group held a Blood Suppressing Bead, and rushed towards them into the blood river.
”Darren, they're running at us with great speed. I'm worried we won't be able to escape,” said Chaz, nervously.
”Don't worry. We're going to be fine,” Darren replied confidently.
”Assimilate!” Keeping his pace up, Darren activated his assimilating skill.
All of a sudden, several booming noises came from the direction of the river.
A huge ray of blinding light came shining from the blood river.
Darren was delighted to witness what was left of the holy emperor's power.
Suddenly, piercing howls began to emerge from the river, one after the other.
Terrifying blood red figures began to rush out like a swarm of bees.
”What in the world? Why are there still living creatures in the blood river?”
Darren was shocked. As the mysterious creatures emerged, what was left of the holy emperor's power in the blood river no longer gathered towards him. The creatures were absorbing it.
As they gorged on the holy emperor's power, their aura became stronger and their bloodlust heightened.
”What's going on?” Darren ceased. It seemed he'd just be helping the strange creatures if he continued to gather the holy emperor's power. The creatures would all assimilate it just by their strength in numbers, leaving Darren with none of it.
On the bright side, the group of warriors that were chasing them were now surrounded by the mysterious creatures. None of them seemed to be near Darren and his friends.
”There are too many of these powerful creatures. What should we do?”
The group of warriors were extremely surprised. These blood red creatures had fangs and were similar to fish. They all had the strength comparable to the peak of four-tribulation junior holy warriors. The number of them was probably hundreds of thousands or even more!
