Chapter 1669: Chapter 822: Ruins Within the Secret Realm?
“We need to plan how to make more effective use of this pool,” Luo Chen said while eating.
Qing Shuang agreed, “Yes, if we can regularly catch Spirit Fish, our cultivation speed will greatly increase.”
In the following days, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang took turns fishing by the pool, never forgetting to cultivate and explore the Secret Realm.
They gradually mastered the skills of catching Spirit Fish, ensuring both food and cultivation resources.
However, the good times did not last long, as other Immortal Cultivators in the Secret Realm also discovered the pool’s existence.
One day, while Luo Chen was fishing by the pool, he heard the noise coming from afar.
He quickly put away the fishing rod and hid in the nearby bushes.
A group of Cultivators appeared by the pool, evidently attracted by the Spirit Fish as well.
Luo Chen recognized some of them; they were the same group that had been chasing and intercepting them outside the valley earlier.
“They actually found their way here?”
“What a nuisance!”
“Looks like we need to act cautiously.” Luo Chen whispered to Qing Shuang as they hid in the bushes, observing the Cultivators’ every move.
Qing Shuang nodded, a hint of worry crossed her eyes, “They outnumber us, if we confront them directly, it could spell trouble.”
Luo Chen gripped the Blood Slaughter Blade tightly, his gaze firm, “Let’s not act rashly and see how the situation unfolds.”
The Cultivators seemed unaware of Luo Chen and Qing Shuang’s presence, they began looking for spots, ready to fish.
One of the Cultivators took out a net, clearly prepared.
“They intend to use nets to catch fish; this will be much more efficient,” Qing Shuang said softly.
Luo Chen frowned deeply, knowing that if these Cultivators caught all the Spirit Fish, they would lose an important food source.
He had to find a way to stop this from happening.
“Qing Shuang, do you have a way to disrupt them temporarily?” Luo Chen asked softly.
Qing Shuang thought for a moment and then said, “I can try using my Ice Element spells to create some ice fog, which can temporarily block their view, making it difficult for them to fish accurately.”
Luo Chen nodded, “Alright, let’s do it. I’ll cover you.”
Qing Shuang began chanting a curse, her hands forming seals, and soon, a faint ice fog began to drift through the valley.
As the fog grew denser, the Cultivators’ vision was greatly impaired.
“What’s going on?” one Cultivator asked in confusion.
“Look, there seems to be something over there!” another Cultivator pointed at a blurred figure in the fog.
The Cultivators started to spread out, trying to figure out what’s going on within the fog.
Luo Chen took the opportunity to quietly move to the other side of the pool, preparing to take action while they were dispersed.
“We need to be careful, this fog is unusual,” the leading Cultivator said cautiously.
Quickly moving through the fog, Luo Chen found a suitable spot, then took out several specially made smoke bombs from his pocket, prepared earlier specifically to confuse enemies’ sight.
He threw the smoke bombs towards where the Cultivators were gathered; as they exploded, dense smoke was released, shrouding the area around the pool in chaos.
“Quick, let’s act amidst the confusion!” Luo Chen said to Qing Shuang.
The two of them swiftly moved closer to the pool, Luo Chen wielded the Blood Slaughter Blade, driving back the Cultivators who tried to approach the pool.
Qing Shuang used her Ice Element spells, creating Ice Walls and Ice Spikes to block the Cultivators’ advance.
“Damn it, it’s those two!” the leading Cultivator finally discovered Luo Chen and Qing Shuang’s whereabouts.
The battle broke out once again, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang, with their familiarity with the terrain and seamless coordination, engaged in fierce combat with the Cultivators.
Despite the large number of Cultivators, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang, with their agile tactics and powerful spells, managed to hold their ground for the moment.
However, when the battle reached its peak, one Cultivator suddenly took out a strange Magic Artifact from their pocket, which emitted a dazzling light, instantly revealing Luo Chen and Qing Shuang’s figures again.
“This time, let’s see how you’ll escape!” the Cultivator said smugly.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang knew they were in crisis once again.
They stood back to back, preparing to face the Cultivators’ final attack.
“Luo Chen, we have to fight desperately now,” Qing Shuang’s voice carried a hint of determination.
“Yes, we have no way out,” Luo Chen replied, his eyes flashing with determination.
Just as the Cultivators were ready to launch a fatal strike, suddenly, a deafening roar echoed through the valley.
Everyone’s attention was drawn to it, only to see a giant Spiritual Beast slowly emerging from the depths of the valley.
“What’s that?” a Cultivator said in horror.
The Spiritual Beast was enormous, exuding powerful Spiritual Power waves, its presence exerting immense pressure on everyone present.
“We need to seize the chance to leave!” Luo Chen whispered to Qing Shuang.
Qing Shuang nodded, and the two took advantage of the chaos, swiftly running out of the valley.
The appearance of the Spiritual Beast left the Cultivators no time to worry about Luo Chen and Qing Shuang, and they all shifted their attention to the suddenly emerging Spiritual Beast.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang ran quickly through the valley, knowing that while the Spiritual Beast’s appearance had temporarily relieved their crisis, it also brought a new threat.
They had to leave this place swiftly.
“Luo Chen, we need to find a place to hide, observe the situation,” Qing Shuang said as she ran, her voice reflecting urgency.
