Chapter 1387: Chapter 681: Ancient Fierce Beast, You Ming Crab King!
They knew that powerful Demonic Beasts were likely to appear here.
They quickly drew their Longswords, gripping them tightly, ready to face the imminent battle.
As the roaring drew nearer, a massive Demonic Beast finally appeared in their sight.
It was a giant python, its entire body covered in black scales, with eyes like torches.
Its body was as thick as a water barrel, and its length exceeded ten zhang.
It opened its blood-red mouth, revealing sharp fangs, and lunged fiercely at the two of them.
Luo Chen and Yun Tu flashed aside, dodging in different directions.
They simultaneously swung their swords towards the python’s body, but the Longswords striking against its scales only sparked a flurry of sparks, unable to inflict any substantial harm.
The python was enraged and thrashed about even more wildly, launching a fierce attack on them.
Luo Chen and Yun Tu dodged the python’s attacks while searching for its weaknesses.
However, the python’s defense was too strong, and their attacks were nearly all deflected by its scales.
As they fell into a bitter struggle, Yun Tu suddenly shouted, "Brother Luo Chen, attack its vital spot! I’ll distract it!"
With that, Yun Tu leaped up, his Longsword transforming into a dazzling Sword Light aimed straight for the python’s eyes.
The python roared in pain, its enormous body twisting as it lunged at Yun Tu.
Luo Chen saw this and felt assured in his heart.
He seized the opportunity, his figure flashing to the python’s vital spot.
He took a deep breath, gathering all his strength at the sword’s tip, then fiercely thrust it out.
"Chih!"
A light sound, as the Longsword accurately pierced into the python’s crucial point.
The python’s body immediately stiffened, then slowly fell to the ground.
Luo Chen and Yun Tu exchanged smiles, both letting out a sigh of relief.
They knew that although the battle was perilous, they had ultimately triumphed through mutual coordination.
They approached the python’s corpse to begin handling their spoils.
They cut away the python’s most precious parts, its Snake Gallbladder and scales, intending to take them back to refine Elixirs or craft weapons.
Meanwhile, they also cut some of the python’s meat for provisions to be stored as rations.
After dealing with the python, the two continued forward.
...
This mysterious forest was vast, exceedingly vast.
Luo Chen and Yun Tu walked for an unknown length of time.
Not until evening did they finally stop their advance, settling in a relatively safe clearing to start a fire.
Though both were Cultivators.
They were hungry, after all, and still needed to eat something.
After all, they hadn’t yet reached the level of Fasting.
"Brother Yun."
Sitting by the fire, Luo Chen roasted the fresh game they had caught while saying to Yun Tu, "The further we walk, the stronger the Demonic Beasts we encounter; it seems there are many hidden secrets in the depths of this forest."
Yun Tu nodded, holding a skewer of sizzling game, his eyes profoundly reflecting the firelight: "Indeed, this forest is called the Shadow Forest, one of the most dangerous places nearby."
"Legend has it that the relics of Ancient Demonic Beasts are hidden here, along with numerous precious Spirit Grass and ores."
"This is why countless Cultivators have been drawn to explore here."
Upon hearing this, Luo Chen felt a spark of interest: "Ancient Demonic Beasts’ relics? Does that mean we might find powerful Cultivation Techniques or Treasures?"
Yun Tu smiled slightly: "While that’s true, the danger is equally immense. Relics of Ancient Demonic Beasts are often accompanied by strong restrictions and Guardian Beasts; a single misstep could mean death."
"Moreover, the Shadow Forest harbors many unknown dangers, even for us Cultivators, it’s difficult to fully navigate."
Luo Chen nodded in acknowledgment, well aware of the hardships and dangers on the path of cultivation.
Yet it was this uncertainty and challenge that strengthened his resolve to continue.
The two were silent for a while, continuing to enjoy this rare peaceful time.
The firelight cast a warm and serene glow on their faces.
However, the good times didn’t last long. Just as they were about to fall asleep, an urgent sound of footsteps suddenly broke the night’s silence.
Luo Chen and Yun Tu immediately became alert, quickly standing and gripping their Longswords, cautiously eyeing the direction the sound came from.
Then they saw several black figures darting out from the woods, rapidly approaching them.
Upon seeing them closely, they were none other than the black-clad men who had previously attacked Luo Chen!
"Hmph, so it’s you again!"
Luo Chen snorted coldly, a flash of murderous intent in his eyes.
The leader of the black-clad men smiled coldly: "Luo Chen, your life has been rather tenacious to survive until now, but this time you won’t be so lucky!"
With that, he waved his hand, and the black-clad men behind him drew their weapons and charged at Luo Chen and Yun Tu.
Luo Chen and Yun Tu exchanged glances, a look of determination flashing in their eyes.
They knew this battle was inevitable.
So, they both leaped into action, transforming into two streams of light, and clashed fiercely with the black-clad men.
In the night, Sword Light flickered, and fists howled through the air.
Both sides engaged in a fierce back-and-forth, fighting intensely.
However, the black-clad men were numerous and well-coordinated, soon pushing Luo Chen and Yun Tu into a retreat.
Luo Chen felt anxious, knowing that this couldn’t continue.
They must find a way to break the stalemate!
At that moment, he glanced at the nearby fire.
The flames in the firepit blazed, emitting scorching light.
