Chapter - 2900

At that moment, Zeke's energy was five meters away from Squirrel.

Left without a choice, Zeke ordered Quinlan, "Mr. Hayes, grab onto my energy and get close to Squirrel. Let's work together to drag Squirrel out of there."

Quinlan took a deep breath and said worriedly, "If I get near the river, it'll suck me in."

"Don't worry. My energy will hold on to you," Zeke reassured.

With that, Zeke's energy transformed into the Dragon King Sword.

Needless to say, at that moment, the Dragon King Sword was dozens of times bigger than usual.

Quinlan gritted his teeth and answered, "All right, then."

He held on to the Dragon King Sword and inched toward Squirrel.

The nearer he got to the river, the stronger the pulling force he had to endure. In fact, he almost slipped and got sucked into the Apex River on a few occasions.

Meanwhile, Squirrel was hanging on to its dear life, and it felt as though its body could be ripped apart at any moment.

As it stared death in the face, it was pleading and on the verge of crying.

Right when Quinlan unleashed a wave of energy, the Apex River sucked it in and devoured part of the energy.

Quinlan used the remaining part of the energy to grab Squirrel and pull it backward.

At the same time, Zeke quickly retracted his Dragon King Sword.

A few minutes later, Squirrel was finally rescued. It slumped to the ground immediately and panted heavily. "F*ck! F*ck! F*ck! I almost died here! Shit! There is a hidden creature lurking in the depths of the Apex River. I'm sure something is definitely in the river!"

"What is it? What's in the river?" Zeke asked.

"I don't know, but it's a strong being. That pulling force seemed to have emerged from underneath the river. F*ck! I almost died in its hands!" Squirrel cursed.

"Squirrel, I actually didn't feel any pulling force from the river. I felt a strong repulsive force instead. If the pulling force was unleashed by something in the river, does that mean the same being also unleashed the repulsive force I felt? Why did it pull you guys in but repulse me?"

Squirrel looked at Zeke in bafflement. "I didn't hear that wrongly, did I? You were repulsed instead of getting pulled toward it? H-How could that be?"

"Well, that's the truth. I could rescue you just now because of the repulsive force I felt from the river."

Squirrel was completely bewildered. "What the f*ck? What is the thing in the river thinking?"

"All right, let's not talk about that now. I'm severely dehydrated. Let's find a way to get some water from the river," Quinlan complained.

Zeke nodded. "Squirrel, none of us knows the Apex River better than you do. Is there a way to get water from it?"

Squirrel licked its dry lips and heaved a sigh. "How am I supposed to know? I'll get devoured by the river the moment I get near it. Hey, perhaps the King of Dragons has a way. Why don't you let the King of Dragons give it a try?"

"Don't disturb me," the King of Dragons uttered. "I'm now cultivating in seclusion, and I'm at a crucial stage. If I get disturbed, my previous effort will be in vain. Besides, it's not like. there's anything I can do to help."

At that moment, Zeke was at a loss. We went through hoops to find the Apex River. Now, we have to stare at it as we go thirsty. This is so frustrating!

Zeke couldn't help feeling guilty when he laid eyes on Lacey, who had passed out due to dehydration.

Right then, Zeke could vaguely hear a commotion coming from afar. A man was heard saying, "Give it your all! If we can't get any water from the river, we're all going to die here…...”

Although Zeke could barely hear every word spoken, he was sure the voice belonged to a human. People who show up here shouldn't be underestimated. I wonder if those people are allies or adversaries... It could be Theos and the others.
