Chen Xiao picked up a stone and threw it into the river. The stone was instantly swept away by the undercurrent, as if swallowed by the giant mouth of a demon, and disappeared without a trace.
"What should we do?" Ning Yuyuan looked worried, her eyes filled with concern and anxiety.
After thinking for a moment, Qianyi said, "I can use my power to temporarily stabilize the water flow, and you can take the opportunity to cross the river quickly."
His eyes shone with determination and resolve, like a fearless warrior ready to face any challenge.
So Qianyi used his power, and the river became slightly calmer under his control.
Chen Xiao stepped into the river first. The water was icy cold, as if countless fine needles were pricking her skin. She couldn't help but shiver, but she still walked forward resolutely.
Chao Yuan and Ye Yu stood guard on both sides, their eyes alert, constantly watching the surrounding movements.
Yin Yuyao and Ning Yuyuan followed closely behind.
Just as the group reached the middle of the river, several huge water monsters suddenly sprang out from the bottom of the water and pounced on them with bared teeth and claws.

Ning Yu swung his sword at the water monster. The sword collided with the monster's scales, splashing water droplets that rained down like a storm, soaking everyone's clothes.
Qian also increased his power output while assisting in attacking the water monster.
His forehead was covered in sweat, which slid down his cheeks, but his eyes were firm and he did not back down.
Chao Yuan and Ye Yu fought valiantly against the water monster's attacks. Their swordsmanship was skillful, each strike carrying power and determination as they protected Yin Yuyao and Chen Xiao in the middle, as if they were guarding the most precious treasure in the world.
After a fierce battle, the group finally managed to defeat the monster and successfully reached the other side.
However, due to the excessive use of power, Qian's face was slightly pale, like a blank sheet of paper, devoid of any color.
Chen Xiao asked with concern, "Are you alright?"
Qian Yi shook her head slightly: "It's alright, it just takes a little time to recover."
His voice was slightly weak, but still carried a hint of stubbornness.
At this moment, they were getting closer and closer to the governor's mansion, but everyone knew that the closer they got to their destination, the more dangers and challenges they might encounter.
