Chapter 683 The Bridge Connecting Two Lands (1/2)

How many of these people who left first truly planned to leave anyway? How many planned to hide and then rob the trading area and it was vulnerable?

The Flaming Horns had a lot of good stuff and they were jealous. Usually, they did not dare steal anything in fear of the Flaming Horns. Wasn’t this a great opportunity? They must take advantage of this situation, or how would they ever live with themselves?

Although it was risky, this risk was necessary for great reward. However, the situation did not go as imagined and they still could not attack.

The travel groups who truly left the trading point also sent scouts to keep an eye on the surroundings. Although there was a delay in the information chain, they still knew the general situation at the trading point.

Meanwhile, Shao Xuan had no time to care about everyone’s feelings. His focus was on the king stoneworm behind, confirming that it was still following him.

After passing through the forest, Flaming River was just ahead.

Perhaps sensing the king beast’s presence, the usually active piranhas in the river had disappeared far away.

Still running, Shao Xuan took a deep breath and whistled.

Cha Cha, who had been following them in the air, dove immediately.

Shao Xuan grabbed one talon and was brought away from the riverbank across the river.

This was the most important part of the plan. The king stoneworm’s next move determined the success of this plan!

Within the forest, Gui He and the rest of the people watched anxiously, not daring to breathe as they prayed silently. May the ancestors protect us.

This was not the small stream from before. The Flaming River was hundreds of metres wide, almost a thousand. How was the king stoneworm going to cross this gigantic river?

Actually, Shao Xuan also had other plans if this did not work. They could take another route.

It was not a must to follow this route. However, it was best if the stoneworm could cross the river. It did not matter how the king stoneworm crossed the river.

Would it cross directly on the surface or dig underground? Or…

Shao Xuan looked at the king stoneworm that stopped by the river bank, one arm grabbing Cha Cha’s talon.

Come!

Come quick!

This way!

Shao Xuan screamed in his heart. Within his consciousness, the light shell around the Flaming Horn’s totemic flames shone brighter.

The king stoneworm lifted the front half of its body, as if wanting to survey the situation in front of it.

To the king stoneworm, in the face of such foreign surroundings, it naturally wanted to follow this energy similar to its own fire seed aura. However, the riverbank caused it to halt for a moment.

Just a moment. Soon, the river surface around it turned grey and it lowered its head, wriggling ahead once more.

All the water where it touched turned to stone with clear lines that resemble flowing water, maintaining the ripples on the surface formed from the gentle breeze blowing.

However, as the king stoneworm wriggled along, the ripples were flattened and replaced with the iconic ridges.

Crack-crack-crack---

Stone extended across the river surface, with the king stoneworm as the origin point.

However, compared to the large-scale petrification at the forest, the petrification was more concentrated to the space on both sides of the king stoneworm.

Its entire body was now on the river surface.

Shao Xuan took a deep breath, happy with this outcome. His plan was going smoothly!

The king stoneworm did not sink, nor did it burrow underground! It was crossing mightily across the river!

Nothing could stop it, nothing! Even a thousand-metre wide river could not!

Something humans could never achieve was done so effortlessly by a worm.

This was the power of a king beast!

It lived up to its name indeed, ‘king’!

As it ambled forward, Shao Xuan had Cha Cha bring him to the other side of the river. They controlled their speed and direction, never straying away from the route and maintaining a fixed distance. This was the only beginning.

A pencil-straight bridge materialised right before everyone’s eyes as the gigantic worm inched forward.

In the air, Wu He was still watching. He almost fell off his long-winged bird when he watched the worm cross the river.

“H-h-he…”

Indeed!

So that’s what he’s trying to do!
