By day, the Wubu River looked exceedingly calm. Everyone remembered Chen Xi's words, and as soon as dawn broke, they set off at their fastest speed.
Yet everyone's flight speed differed. The three Earth Demons led by Chen Xi were the fastest, quickly pulling ahead of the other four and traveling side by side at the front.
Close behind the three were the Rabbit-eared female cultivator and a late-stage Human Demon. Xu Chunniang and the other mid-stage Human Demon, a Four-armed Demon Person, were left at the very back.
As time passed, the gaps between the three groups widened further and further. Xu Chunniang, who had fallen behind, could no longer even see the figures of the three Earth Demons at the front.
And at this point, less than half an hour had passed since they began crossing the river.
Another half hour passed, and the distance between the three groups widened once more. The Rabbit-eared female cultivator and the other Demon Person slowly disappeared beyond the horizon as well.
The Four-armed Demon Person left behind with Xu Chunniang finally grew anxious. Gritting his teeth, he drove the demonic qi within him into his legs, then took out a large handful of demon crystals, absorbing them as he hurried onward.
His actions indeed increased his speed considerably, but as a result, the demonic qi consumed during the journey was also twice what it had been before.
Seeing this, Xu Chunniang secretly shook her head. This method could greatly increase his speed in a short time, but it did not solve the problem at its root.
Even the three Earth Demons, Chen Xi included, were traveling at full speed. One could imagine that the Wubu River was far more than a little wide; it was not something that could be crossed
