Alex accepted every battle for the next 12 hours, half of them fought by Pearl, and half of them fought by him. In some cases, when someone was too strong for Pearl, but too weak for him, they fought together against that person.
As such, out of nearly 35 different battles they fought through the night, they only lost 3 times in total. Once Alex gave them their pills, they left.
He finally got another breathing period after those battles and got to take a break. He had found out that his location had been spread through the secret realm, so many more would be coming to where he was very soon.
Not to mention that Teng Roukang was still following him while challenging people along the way.
The sun had already risen and was making its up the sky, slowly reaching noon. Around that time, Alex came across a rather large river on a depressed land. There was no flow to the river from what he could tell, and he could see a few beasts flow through it.
