Zhou Wen ignored them and continued walking along the river bank.
"Weiyang, let's follow and see what Zhou Wen is doing?" a girl suggested.
"That's not a good idea, right?" Li Weiyang was somewhat hesitant.
Since Zhou Wen didn't kill the Fire-Armored Crocodiles, it was obvious that he wasn't here for them. Li Weiyang was somewhat curious about what Zhou Wen was doing here, but it didn't seem appropriate to follow him.
"The magma river is so huge. It's not like only one person is allowed to hunt. Zhou Wen didn't say that he was going to book the entire place and didn't chase us away. It shouldn't be a problem, right?" the girl from before said.
"That's right, President. We'll just slowly walk behind him. It won't be a hindrance to him," another girl said.
Apart from Zheng Tianlun, the other girls were very interested in following. Li Weiyang thought for a moment and said, "Alright then. Let's continue forward."
Although Zheng Tianlun was somewhat unwilling, he couldn't object since everyone was so enthusiastic. All he could do was follow them forward.
However, this time, they were even slower than Zhou Wen and ended up lagging behind him.
Zhou Wen originally wanted to wait for them to pass before slowly searching for the tiny palm symbol, but he soon realized that they were leaving when he walked. They stopped when he stopped. Zhou Wen decided to ignore them and slowly walked along the magma river.
He didn't find the tiny palm symbol, and the nearby Fire-Armored Crocodiles were afraid of Zhou Wen. They fled into the magma river the moment they saw him, leaving Zhou Wen bored.
After walking for a while, he suddenly saw a two-meter-tall magma spring spewing out from the magma river like a fountain.
Zhou Wen was delighted when he saw the magma spring. Before coming, he had carefully studied the magma river's information. The phenomenon of the magma spring was likely due to Magma Worms breathing in the river.
Magma Worms were Epic creatures that lived in magma, but they didn't have the ability to breathe in magma. Every once in a while, they would float up to breathe like whales.
Li Weiyang and company, who were following behind, also saw the magma spring and guessed that there were Magma Worms there. However, they soon saw Zhou Wen walk towards the magma spring.
"Zhou Wen, be careful. There are Magma Worms there," a girl warned Zhou Wen.
"I know," Zhou Wen answered. He had already walked to the bank and looked at the magma fountain in the middle of the river.
"Don't tell me Zhou Wen is here to hunt Magma Worms?" the girl guessed.
"It can't be. Magma Worms are Epic creatures. Although Zhou Wen is very strong, the difference between the Legendary stage and the Epic stage is huge. Furthermore, the Magma Worms are in the magma river, giving them the geographical advantage. How can they be killed?" another girl said.
"They should just be taking a look. Not to mention the students, even those teachers wouldn't easily provoke the Magma Worms." Zheng Tianlun was speaking the truth. The chances of winning in a place like the Magma River were too low. If one accidentally fell into the Magma River, they would definitely die. Without being fully prepared, even Epic experts wouldn't take the risk to kill Magma Worms.
As they spoke, they saw Zhou Wen summon a huge sword. The sword looked ferocious and terrifying. It was unknown what Companion Beast it was.
"Look, Zhou Wen is about to take action. He's indeed here to kill Magma Worms," a girl said excitedly.
As she spoke, Zhou Wen had already slashed at the magma fountain. The sword beam produced a sword beam that spun like a wheel of light as it slashed at the magma fountain.
Bam!
A crack immediately appeared in the magma fountain. In the next second, magma churned as a section of the magma river that was dozens of meters long began to stir. The middle of the magma river suddenly rose as magma flowed to both sides. A massive creature lifted its body from the magma river.
The monster's body was covered in magma. Just the part of its body that extended out of the magma river was more than ten meters long. It looked like a gigantic magma snake.
"This Magma Worm is huge. Just the part that's exposed is more than ten meters long. I wonder how long it's down there. Its strength must be extremely terrifying. Will Zhou Wen be alright?" a girl said worriedly.
Li Weiyang was also worried. The larger the Magma Worm, the stronger it was. Typical Magma Worms could reach ten meters, and their strength was considered top-notch among Epic creatures. The exposed part of this Magma Worm was already more than ten meters long. Its strength was definitely unimaginably terrifying.
Magma Worms' growth was different from ordinary dimensional creatures. They were especially weak when they were born. They lived up to their name as a worm that was only the length of a finger.
After Magma Worms were born, they would absorb certain microscopic substances in the magma, allowing the substances to attach themselves to them. This way, their bodies would gradually grow larger. Not only could these microscopic substances become their armor, but they could also provide them with powerful fire-elemental energy.
Therefore, the larger the Magma Worm, the more terrifying its strength. The fire-elemental energy it could produce was also stronger.
This Magma Worm was probably about thirty meters long. It was definitely an overlord-level existence among Magma Worms. The fire-elemental power it could produce was probably something even Epic experts wouldn't dare underestimate.
Boom!
The gigantic Magma Worm opened its mouth and spat out a mouthful of flames at Zhou Wen. The flames were crimson with a hint of gold as they surged towards Zhou Wen like a river of magma.
The girls' hearts leaped to their throats, but Zheng Tianlun thought to himself, You deserve to be burned to death by the Magma Worm for stealing my limelight.
Zheng Tianlun didn't like Zhou Wen, but their feud didn't begin today. Back at the comprehensive test, Zheng Tianlun had prepared a method to cheat, but he didn't use it. Instead, he ended up benefiting Zhou Wen. Although Zhou Wen hadn't forced him, he didn't have a good impression of Zhou Wen because of this. Now that he saw Zhou Wen provoke such a sick Magma Worm, he hoped that Zhou Wen would be killed by it.
Just as the terrifying flames were about to land on Zhou Wen, Zhou Wen raised the sword in his hand above his head. He circulated the Ancient Sovereign Sutra and injected his Primordial Energy into the sword as he cleaved at the flames that filled the sky.
The sword beam tore through the sword and met the terrifying flames.
It can't be. Zhou Wen wants to forcefully resist the Magma Worm's flames? Li Weiyang was alarmed. After all, it was an Epic creature. She originally imagined that Zhou Wen would think of a way to dodge, but she never expected him to face it head-on.
She didn't know that Zhou Wen had already advanced to the Epic stage. She felt that it was too rash for Zhou Wen to face an Epic Magma Worm head-on with his Legendary body.
The other girls were also shocked. The sword light and the flame had already collided.
In the next second, they saw a beautiful scene. The sword beam that resembled a wheel of light sliced the flames that filled the sky into two. Furthermore, it didn't stop as it slashed at the Magma Worm's body.
