Seeing Guang Youzi in such a predicament, Li Sisui and the other man were also at a loss. Just then, for some reason, the eagle behind them suddenly started squeaking incessantly. Li Sisui, slightly annoyed, reached out to stroke it and soothe it, when he heard Guang Youzi beside him say in a mixture of shock and anger:
"Get back quickly! The River of Rebirth is rising!"
Before he finished speaking, the river surface in the distance, which was originally as clear as a mirror, suddenly seemed to boil, with countless bubbles rising up. In the bubbles, one could see a fish-like monster with wings on its back and sharp teeth in its mouth. It must be the soulless fish monster that Guangyouzi mentioned earlier.
Before Li Sisui could react, the surface of the River of Rebirth rose like boiling water, its level climbing rapidly. In the blink of an eye, it crossed the riverbank and spread into the surrounding forest. As the bubbles burst, the Soul-Stealing Fish Demons flapped their wings and flew towards Li Sisui in a swarm. Guang Youzi was so frightened that he didn't even have time to warn anyone before fleeing for his life!
Sensing the impending danger, Diao Bao became much more agile. It opened its mouth, picked up Li Sisui, and carried him on its back. Then it turned around and flapped its wings to escape. Leng Rushuang had already jumped onto Diao Bao's back sometime earlier. The two of them and the eagle transformed into a streak of black light and sped along the way they had come!
Looking up, a gray figure was seen darting back and forth through the woods below. The speed was unprecedented. I never expected that Guang Youzi, who looked so unremarkable, would be so skilled. Putting aside the strength of his cultivation, there were few cultivators who could keep up with his speed!
Behind them, the River of Rebirth rose like an avalanche, its surface rising dozens of feet in just a few breaths. The lush forest that once lined the riverbank had been completely devoured by the Soul-Stealing Fish Demons, who, swept away by the giant waves, sent countless Soul-Stealing Fish Demons to even more distant places!
The fish demon landed and, as if possessed, opened its mouth and began to bite. Whether it was the hard ground beneath its feet or the rough rocks, it simply bit them to pieces. What was even more terrifying was that the fish demon's stomach seemed to never be full, or perhaps it simply did not know hunger or satiety. Its only instinct was to bite and devour everything!
Li Sisui even witnessed dozens of soulless fish demons being slammed onto a boulder by a giant wave. They opened their mouths and bit the boulder, which was tens of meters high, and in a few bites, they turned it into dust. The fish demons that devoured it the fastest were turned into dust with a bang and were actually burst!
Upon seeing this, Li Sisui couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat and exclaimed:
"This is what a true foodie looks like..."
The giant waves crashed down like mountains, instantly turning the riverbank into a paradise for the lost fish demons. The once vibrant bank became a desolate wasteland in the blink of an eye. If the eagle hadn't been so fast, even a few seconds slower, they probably wouldn't have escaped being devoured!
Guangyouzi, unaware of when, stood atop a giant rock, gazing into the distance with a puzzled expression, and said:
"The River of Rebirth is usually silent, and even when the tide rises or falls, there are some signs. Why has such a huge wave suddenly appeared today? Could there be some strange thing around here that has agitated the River of Rebirth?"
Squeak! Squeak!
The eagle carrying Li Sisui and the other landed beside Guangyouzi. Looking in the direction Guangyouzi was looking, it didn't understand. But only Li Sisui knew the truth. He had refused to believe in the supernatural and tried to cross the River of Rebirth with his fast sword. He never expected it to cause such a commotion!
The swift sword was formed from his divine sense, and its flight was so powerful that it felt as if he were actually there. Li Sisui had intended to use this move to see what was on the other side or to investigate some new situation. However, even the extremely fast swift sword could not withstand the powerful gravity of the River of Rebirth. In the blink of an eye, it fell from mid-air and was about to sink into the river when Li Sisui pulled it back...
But the next second, the River of Rebirth suddenly surged, like a tsunami, instantly submerging both banks and leaving no trace of the forest vegetation, which was devoured by the soul-destroying fish demons...
The ebb and flow of the tide is a natural cycle. Watching the River of Rebirth, which had just surged like a tsunami, gradually return to calm, and then the river level began to slowly recede, Li Si Sui said with lingering fear:
"It's truly dangerous here. Natural disasters and man-made calamities—there's no escaping them all..."
"What happened today is indeed unusual, but it doesn't matter. Nothing here is normal. We'll get used to it. However, we'll have to reconsider crossing the river. Even if the Black-Eyed Golden-Eyed Eagle grows to its ultimate form, it might not be able to escape the attraction of the River of Rebirth under today's circumstances. After all, the strongest attraction is right above the River of Rebirth. Those who can leap across it all possess heaven-defying bloodlines and extraordinary talents!"
Li Sisui subconsciously touched Diaobao's head. He didn't expect that this silly eagle he had accidentally acquired would be so powerful. It seems that he should train it well in the future, otherwise it would be a waste of its talent!
"Do you absolutely have to go to the other side of the River of Rebirth? Although the treasure map contains detailed information, there are many cultivators on the other side, and the fighting is fierce. Even if you do find it, whether you can ultimately obtain it is uncertain. If I hadn't been fed up with those battles, I wouldn't have risked my life to come here..."
Guang Youzi's words piqued Li Sisui's interest, and he couldn't help but ask:
"So how did you get through it back then?"
"Me? That's a long story, but to put it simply, not everyone has the ability to swallow a golden eagle with black eyes. Given my situation at the time, I could only come across from that bridge; there was no third option..."
Li Sisui scrutinized Guang Youzi intently, making the latter feel somewhat uneasy under his gaze, before finally speaking:
"Although I can't see through your cultivation level, the fact that you came from there shows that you're quite the hidden expert!"
Guangyouzi gave a bitter smile and sighed:
