“Looks like you’re all fine!”

As the atmosphere became tense among Guizang Yan and the others, Wang Teng suddenly appeared on a distant large tree. He leaped down and walked towards them.

Hengzang Mo, Guizang Yan, and the others were startled, their pupils contracting. They had completely missed how Wang Teng appeared.

“Brother Han Zhu, you’re fine. That’s great.” Yizang Xinnuo saw Wang Teng returning unharmed, and a smile appeared on her pretty face. She felt relieved. “What could happen to me? That origin beast is quite foolish. I easily shook it off.” Wang Teng casually replied.

“You talk big. Weren’t you the one running for your life just now?” Guizang Yan couldn’t help but retort.

“Wasn’t it you?” Wang Teng looked at him strangely and asked in return.

This guy had just spoken ill of him behind his back, thinking he hadn’t heard.

Wang Teng wasn’t one to tolerate such people. If he needed to retort, he would. On the other hand, Yunzang Xiao and the others surprised him. He had not helped them in vain.

Moreover, many members of the five major families expressed gratitude with their eyes. Wang Teng noticed it all, and a slight smile appeared on his face. His identity was still unknown, but once it was revealed…

He couldn’t help but wonder how these members of the five families would react.

Guizang Yan remained silent.

“You might not know, but the activity range of that origin beast is limited. Once it goes beyond a ten-thousand-kilometer radius from that river, it will return,” Wang Teng added.

“It will return to the river?” Yizang Xinnuo and the others expressed surprise.

“Yes, these origin beasts have their territories. Even the universe-stage origin beasts rarely leave their territory.” Wang Teng nodded.

“But then, how should we cross that river? If we detour, it will waste several days at least,” Shouzang Caiyun frowned.

“Let’s find another area. Since this universe-stage origin beast won’t leave the ten-thousand-kilometer radius, we can cross the river from beyond that distance. I don’t believe there’s another universe-stage original beast over there,” Wang Teng suggested, rubbing his chin.

“That’s not a bad idea. Universe-stage origin beasts are not so common. If it’s only origin beasts below the universe stage, we can still handle it,” Hengzang Mo nodded.

We need to move fast and try not to alert that universe-stage origin beast,” Wang Teng advised.

“If that’s the case, let’s act now. Don’t waste any more time,” Yunzang Xiao said.

“Alright, let’s go!”

In an instant, they turned into streaks of light, soaring into the sky. For cosmos-stage warriors, covering a distance of ten thousand kilometers was a matter of moments.

Before long, they reached the banks of the river, ten thousand kilometers away. The river was incredibly long, with no end in sight. Even ten thousand kilometers might not be one-thousandth of its total length.

According to the records of the five major families, this river seemed to traverse the entire mountain range of their ancestral land. Thus, they had no choice but to cross it, with no other routes available.

Moreover, this river was extremely wide, appearing to be several hundred kilometers across, resembling a vast sea.

“Let’s get to work!” Hengzang Mo and the others looked at the members of the Guizang Family.

Guizang Yan felt quite unhappy inside. Once again, he was assigned to do the laborious work. However, there was no choice. Only the members of the Guizang Family were fire-element martial warriors.

“Hmph!”

He snorted inwardly and, together with the warriors of the Guizang Family, launched a joint attack. The terrifying Fire Forces formed a sea of fire, hovering over the great river. They set the river ahead ablaze, causing the water to boil vigorously. Bubbles emerged from beneath the water, making one’s scalp tingle.

This scene, even for the cosmos-stage warriors present, was intimidating enough to deter anyone from venturing into the water, fearing they might be boiled alive.

The power of martial warriors, capable of burning the sky and boiling the sea, was vividly displayed in this moment.

If it were an ordinary river or even the sea, the power of a single cosmos-stage martial warrior would be sufficient to make it boil entirely.

However, the river before them was evidently no ordinary water body. It housed numerous origin beasts, and the Water Force was exceedingly concentrated. To burn and boil it required the combined efforts of many martial warriors.

Roar!

Roar!

Howl…

Roars echoed as numerous origin beasts emerged from beneath the water.

Contrary to the snake-like creatures encountered before, the inhabitants of this area were a different breed resembling massive crocodiles on Earth.

However, there were distinct differences in appearance. They were covered in blue scales with sturdy and sharp spines distributed across their bodies. Their heads were more ferocious, with enormous fangs protruding from their bloodthirsty mouths.

“They are not those snake-like origin beasts!” Heng Zang Mo and the others exclaimed, a mixture of surprise and joy on their faces.

Since these were not snake-like creatures, it indicated that this area was indeed not the territory of the previous snake-like universe-stage origin beast. As long as there were no other universe-stage origin beasts in this region, they had a good chance of crossing the river.

The only thing that troubled them was that these crocodile-like origin beasts seemed even more ferocious than the snake-like ones they encountered earlier.

“Don’t just stand there! Attack quickly,” urged Wang Teng.

These people were simply delaying him from collecting the attribute bubbles.

They lacked any self-awareness.

Hengzang Mo and the others snapped back to reality, focusing on launching attacks against the origin beasts emerging from the river.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A sudden eruption of battle echoed, and a thunderous sound reverberated over

the river. Shockwaves of Forces surged in all directions.

The crocodile-like origin beasts showed no fear of the martial warriors from the Guizang Family, or perhaps, they had little inherent fear. Their attacks were driven solely by instinct, instinctively assaulting any intruders invading their territory..
