Chapter - 2930

Zeke, Quinlan, and the others were parched, so they jumped into the river at once, dived to the bottom of the river, and gulped as much water as they could.

Meanwhile, Theos, Erebus, Tiger King, and Raccoon Queen were running for their lives.

They were the only ones left from Theos' camp.

Once they had escaped from the death spirits and stopped running, they were all panting heavily and in distress.

They devoured Gray Rat's spirit pill prior to that, but they used up their strengths when they fought against Zeke. Furthermore, their bodies were infiltrated by the death aura, so they were dog-tired after running for a long time.

The moment they stopped running, they started expelling the death aura from their bodies and recuperated.

Over an hour later, they could finally breathe a sigh of relief after expelling all the death aura from their bodies.

“D*mn it! F*ck!" Theos' eyes were filled with viciousness, and he felt exceedingly bitter. “Why did Zeke and Squirrel not get affected by the death aura? I can't accept it! That wasn't fair!"

"I think Squirrel is a local in the ancient sector. Hence, it's understandable why he wasn't affected by the death aura. However, I don't know why Zeke wasn't affected," Raccoon Queen explained.

Raccoon Queen was as strong as Tiger King, so that was why it survived when the other primordial beasts had perished.

Hearing that, Tiger King uttered coldly, "Let's not think about how he wasn't affected by the death aura. All fancy tricks in the face of absolute power are useless."

Theos then cleared his throat because he felt terrible due to dehydration. "We need to find water. I used up all the liquid in my body during that fight."

“When we were escaping, did you guys notice the water in the river turning red all of a sudden? Afterward, the red tinge in the water gathered and formed a ray of light before disappearing into thin air," Tiger King uttered.

"Who cares about that? What is red or a ray of light? Our priority now is to find water," Theos said.

Angered, Tiger King glared at Theos and roared, "What an id*ot! Let me finish, will you? After the ray of light disappeared, so did the pulling force in Apex River."

Theos saw red at once. While staring at Tiger King, he thundered, "Who are you calling an id*ot?"

Tiger King was angry at Theos because the latter was the reason why they were there, risking their lives instead of enjoying themselves in the primeval forest.

Tiger King grew even angrier when Theos taunted him, “I called you an id*ot! What's the matter? I was merely spitting facts. You were an id*ot for not letting me say what I wanted to say."

"F*ck you!" Theos was livid. "I'll kill you!"

Seeing that the two were about to start fighting, Raccoon Queen and Erebus quickly eased the tension.

"Hey, that's enough. Now is not the time to fight amongst ourselves."

"Our priority now is to find a source of water."

"What Tiger King said just now was very important. The pulling force in the river really seemed to have disappeared."

"Without the pulling force, we'll be able to drink as we please."

After witnessing the conflict between Theos and Tiger King, Erebus no longer thought Theos was a mysterious being. All this while, Theos had been pretending to be incomprehensible. In reality, he's just an ordinary guy with emotions.

Like an ordinary person, he would also swear to vent his anger.

After that, Theos stopped arguing with Tiger King. It was safe to assume that either the mediators had done a great job or Theos was too thirsty to entertain Tiger King's constant mockeries.

When they arrived at Apex River, Theos walked toward the river slowly to test things out.

True enough, the pulling force in Apex River had subsided.

"The pulling force is gone! We can now drink as much water as we want!" Theos was over the moon.

Erebus was also very thirsty, but he didn't dare to drink from the river before anyone else.

Thus, he stared blankly at Theos while waiting for him to take the first sip.
