Other than the people at the Flaming River Trading Point, some of the people who were supposed to leave were also paying attention to the king stoneworm.
Among the first batch of people to leave, how many of them actually wanted to leave instead of hiding in the dark and waiting for an opportunity to rob the trading point?
The Yanjiao people had a lot of good stuff and they were jealous. Usually, they were afraid of the Yanjiao people's strength so they didn't dare to make a move. But now, wasn't this the perfect opportunity? If they didn't make good use of this opportunity, they would be letting themselves down.
Although it was dangerous, it was necessary to take risks if they wanted to reap greater rewards. However, they didn't expect things to develop so differently from what they had expected. Until now, they still hadn't made a move.
Even the teams that were far away from the Flaming River Trading Point still sent people to keep an eye on the movements around the trading point. Hence, although they were slower to find out what was going on around the trading point and the Flaming River, they still had a rough idea.
At this moment, Shao Xuan didn't have time to care about other people's feelings. He only had his eyes on the king stoneworm behind him to make sure it was still following him.
After passing through the forest, the Flaming River was just ahead.
Perhaps they had sensed the king beast's presence, the piranhas that used to be active in the river were all avoiding them.
Without stopping, Shao Xuan took a deep breath and whistled.
Chacha, who had been following him in the air, flapped its wings and dived down.
Shao Xuan grabbed Chacha's claw with one hand and was brought to the top of the Flaming River.
This was the most important part of the plan. The king stoneworm's actions were the key to their success!
In the forest, Guigou and the rest were getting more and more nervous. They didn't even dare to breathe loudly as they prayed in their hearts, "Ancestors, please protect us."
This was not the small river from before. The Flaming River was a few hundred meters wide and close to a thousand meters wide. How was the king stoneworm going to cross such a huge river?
Actually, according to Shao Xuan's plan, there was an ideal situation and a less ideal one.
Of course, even if things didn't go as planned, as long as the king stoneworm could cross the river, it would be good enough. The method of crossing the river was secondary. Their safety was more important.
Did he come directly from the bottom of the river? Or should they go deeper into the river? Or …
Shao Xuan grabbed Chacha's claw and looked at the King Stoneworm that had stopped at the shore.
Come here!
Come here quickly!
Head this way!
Shao Xuan shouted in his heart. In the sea of consciousness, the light shield that enveloped Yanjiao's totem flames grew brighter and brighter.
The King Stoneworm that had stopped by the shore lifted its upper body, as if it wanted to see what was in front of it clearly.
Those who were hiding in the forest could see the king stoneworm's head clearly. Only half of its body was visible, but it was already taller than the tallest tree in the area. No one could ignore it.
To the king stoneworm, when everything around it was unfamiliar, it would naturally choose to follow a fire seed source that was close to it. However, the river in front of it made it pause for a moment.
However, it only paused for a moment. As the river surface closest to it turned greyish white, the front half of its body that had been raised up lay down again.
On the surface of the river, where the front half of the king stoneworm's body touched, the river water had turned into a grayish-white stone ground. Even the ripples on the water were very clear, retaining the shape they had when they were blown by the wind.
However, as the king stoneworm wriggled forward, the ripples no longer remained. Instead, they were replaced by the signature marks of the king stoneworm.
Crack crack crack —
The petrified water surface was still spreading rapidly. The king stoneworm was like a petrified projectile. The water around it had turned into stone.
However, compared to the large-scale petrification in the forest, the petrification on the water surface was more concentrated. It was only under the king stoneworm's body and the areas around it.
At this moment, the king stoneworm's entire body was above the Flaming River.
Shao Xuan took a deep breath. He was excited. Things were going according to his plan. It was the most perfect route!
The king stoneworm did not sink to the bottom of the river. It did not burrow underground. Instead, it continued to travel on the river!
Nothing could stop it. Nothing! Even if it was a river that was hundreds of thousands of meters wide!
Something that people thought was impossible was happening because of the wriggling of the beast king.
This was the power of a king stoneworm!
It was worthy of the title "king"!
As the king stoneworm continued to move forward, Shao Xuan had Chacha bring him to the other side of the river. They controlled their speed and direction. They did not deviate from the route, nor did they go too far or too close. They maintained the most suitable position and flew forward. This was only the beginning.
A long, straight bridge appeared in front of everyone's eyes. As the enormous body moved forward, it gradually extended forward.
In the air, Wu He, who had been watching the scene, was so shocked that he almost fell off his long-winged bird.
"He, he, he …"
So that was it!
To think that he actually had such a plan!
They were using a king stoneworm as a laborer!
How did they think of this?
What a bunch of lunatics!
Wu He wasn't the only one who was stunned. The people from the other tribes were also stunned. Even Duo Kang and the others who were leading the team to help were stunned. They wanted to rub their eyes and pat their heads to see if they were hallucinating because they were too nervous and tired.
Although they knew what Shao Xuan was planning, they did not expect this to happen!
As the king stoneworm wriggled, a stone bridge that extended from one side of the river to the other appeared above the vast Flaming River!
It could even turn water into stone!
At the same time, some people were wondering how such a cumbersome king stoneworm could travel on the water as if it was flat ground. Even if it could turn water into stone, the stone it formed might not be able to support its heavy body.
Could it be that the stone had reached the bottom of the river and was forming a stone bridge that cut off the Flaming River?
No, that was impossible. The Flaming River looked very deep. How could it be cut off so easily? The water did not look like it was cut off either.
Then, was this bridge floating on the water?
Otherwise, how could it support such a huge king stoneworm?!
But how could a stone float on the water?!
It went against common sense, and no one could understand it no matter how hard they thought about it. While they were shocked by the scene on the river, they were also confused to the point of going crazy.
Unimaginable!
They thought that the Yanjiao people would lure the king stoneworm to another place because of its threat, but they were surprised to find that they had lured the king stoneworm back to the Flaming River. Only now did they understand what the Flaming Horns were planning to do.
The Flaming Horns were truly unfathomable!
If the Yanjiao people knew what the others were thinking about them, they would cry out that it was all the First Elder's idea. They were just carrying it out. They were just as shocked as the others!
On the roof of the Flaming River Tower, Ao and a group of Yanjiao people were observing the king stoneworm's movements. However, as Shao Xuan lured the king stoneworm away, they could not see that far no matter how good their eyesight was.
On the other side, Ao Zheng was using a telescope to observe the movements above the Flaming River. From time to time, he would exclaim, "How can this be?", "How can this be?", "So this was Ah Xuan's plan …"
The others scratched their ears and cheeks when they heard this. They stopped looking at Flaming River and stared fixedly at Ao. They thought, 'Elder Ao, why don't you say something and let us know what's going on over there?' Why don't you show us the telescope? "
Something unexpected must have happened for the former chief to be so shocked. It must have been far beyond everyone's imagination. Something strange must have happened. They wanted to rush over to the Flaming River Castle to see what was going on, but they had to stay here. After all, the trading point, especially the Flaming River Castle, had to be guarded to prevent people from taking the opportunity to steal.
Unfortunately, Ao was too engrossed in his stare and did not notice the reactions of the others. He did not have the slightest intention of letting go of the telescope either.
The stone walls on both sides of the king stoneworm were more than seven meters wide. Including the king stoneworm's body, the stone bridge was more than twenty meters wide on average.
If they wanted to build a long bridge over such a wide river, it would not be easy even if they had more advanced technology, let alone the current technology. But now, a long stone bridge without any piers was gradually taking shape. Not only that, the king stoneworm was wriggling steadily across the river without any change in speed.
Very good! This risk was worth it!
Shao Xuan looked at the long grey-white bridge that spanned across the river. He suppressed his excitement and the urge to immediately test the sturdiness of this stone bridge.
He let out a long sigh. There was no rush. It would not be too late to go back and test it after everything was over.
Shao Xuan had made a few preparations. Now, things were progressing smoothly according to his expectations. It was the most perfect route. It was even better than what he had expected.
Even Shao Xuan himself had underestimated this king stoneworm.
Although it was a little slow, there was no doubt about the king stoneworm's valiant ability.
One-fifth …
One-third …
One-half …
Two-thirds …
This miraculous stone bridge was about to be completed.
The people who were staring at the river stared until their eyes were dry. They could not bear to blink, afraid that they would miss an important moment. They were very glad that they had come along to witness the birth of such a miracle.
The wind picked up and became stronger. It blew down from the upper reaches of the Flaming River, causing waves to crash against the stone bridge behind the king stoneworm.
Boom!
The waves splashed into splashes.
However, no matter how hard the waves crashed, the stone bridge that looked like it was floating on the water did not move at all. It was as if it was proving to the world that it was sturdy.
