Immortality Cultivation: I Can increase My Stats Using Clansmen's Qi-Blood-Chapter 1454 - 714: Swamp!_2

Luo Chen nodded, they gripped their weapons tightly, preparing to face any possible situation.

Just then, the ground suddenly cracked, and a gigantic tentacle emerged from the underground, rushing straight toward Luo Chen.

Luo Chen swiftly evaded, but more tentacles followed in quick succession, as if the entire clearing had turned into a living monster.

"Another Demonic Beast!" Qing Shuang shouted loudly.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang fought side by side, using their agile movement techniques and excellent Martial Techniques, they maneuvered around the tentacles.

Luo Chen’s Swordsmanship flowed like the clouds and water, each swing accurately cleaving the tentacles.

Qing Shuang, like an agile swallow, wove between the tentacles, her weapon followed closely, delivering fatal strikes.

The battle lasted a long time, and both Luo Chen and Qing Shuang felt fatigued, but their determination grew even stronger.

Finally, in perfect synergy, they found the source of the tentacles, a massive underground creature.

Luo Chen used all his strength to thrust his sword into its body, while Qing Shuang cut off its life line with her weapon.

As the creature died, the time Barrier began to collapse, and the surroundings gradually returned to normal.

Breathing heavily, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang knew this victory did not come easily.

"Let’s keep going, surely there are more secrets awaiting us in this swamp." Luo Chen said.

Qing Shuang nodded, they collected themselves and continued along the trail.

Shortly afterwards, they arrived at the entrance of a gigantic cave.

Cold winds emanated from within the cave, seemingly concealing some unknown creature.

Lighting their torches, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang cautiously entered the cave.

The interior of the cave was spacious and deep, its walls covered with glowing minerals that illuminated the path ahead.

Following the cave passage deeper, they discovered a vast underground lake.

In the center of the lake floated a gigantic stone, on which sat a wise elder with white hair.

The elder had his eyes closed, seemingly in meditation.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang exchanged a glance, they knew this elder was no ordinary person.

"Honored elder, we are travelers who have accidentally stumbled upon this place, might you guide us?" Luo Chen respectfully inquired.

The elder slowly opened his eyes, a profound glimmer flashed within them.

"You have passed the swamp test and arrived here, I am the Guardian of this swamp, you may call me ’Ze Ling’."

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang respectfully bowed again, aware that the elder before them possessed infinite wisdom and power.

Ze Ling smiled and said, "Your Spirit is pure, your strength is great, your wisdom remarkable, the secrets of the swamp have opened up to you, and now I will grant you a final gift."

Ze Ling rose from the stone, an ancient scroll appeared in his hand.

"This is the ’Swamp Secret Book’, it contains all the secrets and powers of this swamp, from which you can learn how to better utilize the power of nature."

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang received the ’Swamp Secret Book’, feeling a mighty force surge into their bodies.

They understood that this was not just a book, but a legacy, a responsibility.

"Thank you, Ze Ling."

Ze Ling nodded, his figure gradually becoming indistinct, eventually disappearing into the cave.

With the ’Swamp Secret Book’ in hand, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang left the cave.

And thus the swamp had been explored to this point, with most of its fortunes claimed by Luo Chen and Qing Shuang.

Even if a small opportunity remained.

It’s likely that it wouldn’t surpass the major fortunes they have obtained.

"Earlier, I discovered a city not far from here."

"Shall we go and have a look?"

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang stood at the cave’s exit, gazing at the distant city shrouded in mist.

They knew that although most of the swamp’s fortunes had been acquired, that city might still hold unknown chances and challenges.

"Let’s take a look, there’s nothing much else to do anyway." Luo Chen proposed.

Qing Shuang nodded, always filled with curiosity about unknown things.

Tidying up their packs, the two set off towards the direction of the city.

As they gradually approached, the city’s silhouette became increasingly clear.

This was an ancient city, its walls built from massive stone blocks, overgrown with moss and vines.

The city gate was tightly shut, as though it had not seen movement in a long time.

But Luo Chen and Qing Shuang could sense that this city was not a dead city, it exuded a mysterious and ancient aura.

They circled the city walls once, eventually discovering a hidden path concealed by vines in a secluded corner.

Cautiously parting the vines, they found a half-open door.

Behind the door was a dark passage, with a faint light seeming to emanate from its end.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang exchanged a glance, nodding to each other, and then entered the passage in turn.

As they ventured deeper, the passage gradually widened, its walls embedded with glowing minerals, illuminating their way forward.

They arrived at a vast underground space, which seemed to be an abandoned market.

Various stalls scattered around, displaying all kinds of peculiar items, some already decaying, others still emitting a faint glow.

Cautiously navigating between the stalls, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang knew these items might hide secrets unknown to them.

Suddenly, Qing Shuang’s gaze was drawn to a dilapidated wooden box on one of the stalls.

Approaching, she gently opened the box, and inside lay a crystal, pristine and transparent.

The crystal seemed to hold a certain power, making Qing Shuang feel an inexplicable attachment.

"Luo Chen, look at this." Qing Shuang called softly.

Luo Chen came over, carefully inspecting the crystal.

He felt a strong resonance, as though this crystal was connected to him by destiny.

"This crystal contains powerful energy, perhaps complementing our own." Luo Chen commented.

Qing Shuang nodded, knowing Luo Chen’s instincts seldom missed.

The pair decided to take the crystal, perhaps one day it would prove unexpectedly beneficial.

Continuing to explore the underground market, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang discovered some ancient scrolls and peculiar potions.

Carefully collecting these items, their hearts filled with respect for the unknown.

Just then, they heard faint footsteps.

"Someone’s here?"

"Isn’t this supposed to be an empty city?"

This question lingered in Luo Chen’s heart.

The pair swiftly concealed themselves behind one of the stalls, vigilantly observing their surroundings.

Soon, a figure emerged from the darkness, it was a mysterious person clad in a black robe.

The mysterious person seemed oblivious to Luo Chen and Qing Shuang’s presence, walking straight to a corner and retrieving an item from a pile of debris before hastily leaving.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang exchanged a glance and decided to track the mysterious person and uncover what exactly they were seeking.

Carefully following the mysterious person through one dark passage after another, they eventually reached a vast underground hall.

In the center of the hall was a massive stone platform, adorned with various unusual gemstones.

The mysterious person approached the stone platform, placing the item they held into a recess on the platform.

Instantly, the entire hall erupted in brilliant light, the gemstones on the platform began to rotate, emitting melodious sounds.

Shocked by this scene, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang realized that this stone platform might be an ancient mechanism, and the mysterious person seemed to know how to activate it.

The mysterious person turned around, eyes fixed on the hiding place of Luo Chen and Qing Shuang.

There was a hint of cunning in their gaze, as if they had known of their presence all along.

"You have followed quite closely..." the mysterious person spoke, with a trace of teasing in their voice.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang emerged from their hiding spot, aware that the upcoming conversation might reveal more secrets of this Underground World.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?" Luo Chen asked. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
