"Luochen, how do you think we should deal with those legendary creatures?" Qingshuang asked seriously.
"We need to be fully prepared, not only to understand their habits, but also to prepare some magic weapons and formations that can restrain them." Luo Chen replied.
Qingshuang nodded, she knew that Luo Chen always thought carefully, which is why she was willing to go with him.
After an in-depth discussion, the two decided to set off early the next morning.
They decided not only to explore the Evernight Valley this time, but also to try to solve some puzzles and look for possible ancient ruins.
The next morning, Luochen and Qingshuang set foot on the road to Yongye Valley again.
This time, they were even more excited than last time, because they knew that this exploration might reveal more secrets of Evernight Valley.
After several days of trekking, they came to the entrance of Yongye Valley again.
The difference from last time is that this time they have more preparations and clearer goals.
"Luochen, we must be careful this time. There may be more dangers in Yongye Valley than we imagined." Qingshuang reminded.
Luochen nodded, he understood Qingshuang's worries, "Don't worry, I will be careful."
Luochen and Qingshuang stepped into the fog of Yongye Valley together. This time, they My heart is full of expectation and caution.
The scene in the valley is still dark, but this is not the first time for the two of them to come here, so their adaptability to darkness is much better than before.
"Luochen, do you feel that this time the Yongye Valley seems to be quieter than last time?" Qingshuang whispered, her voice echoing in the empty valley.
Luo Chen nodded, his eyes wandering around, trying to catch any unusual movement.
"Indeed, when we came last time, we could at least hear the cries of some creatures, but this time there was no sound at all."
The two continued to move forward, the light in Luo Chen's hand glowing in the darkness Seems extremely weak.
They originally planned to continue moving towards the place they had visited before.
It’s just that we haven’t gone a few steps yet.
Indistinctly, I heard some roars that were similar to wild beasts, but different from wild beasts.
In the darkness, pairs of blood-red eyes seemed to appear.
"What are these?"
Qingshuang clenched the hilt of the sword, looked around vigilantly, and whispered to Luochen: "These voices and eyes, I have never seen them forever. We have encountered them in Night Vale, they seem to be hiding in the darkness, waiting for our arrival."
Luo Chen frowned, knowing that these unknown creatures may represent new challenges, or even fatal ones. threaten.
He quickly took out a piece of talisman paper from his storage bag, whispered a spell, and turned the talisman paper into a ray of light that shot towards the blood-red eyes in the darkness.
Light flashed through the darkness, illuminating the surrounding environment. Luo Chen and Qing Shuang finally saw the true faces of those creatures.
They are unique nocturnal creatures in the Evernight Valley. They are huge in size, have thick skin and thick flesh, and are agile in movement.
The eyes of these creatures glowed red in the darkness, obviously attracted by the light in Luo Chen's hand.
"We must deal with it carefully."
Luochen whispered to Qingshuang, while taking out several magical weapons from the storage bag specifically designed to deal with such creatures.
Qing Shuang nodded, she knew that Luo Chen's magic weapon would play a key role in dealing with these creatures.
She gripped the hilt of her sword tightly, ready to respond to possible attacks at any time.
Luochen quickly deployed several defensive formations to ensure that they would not be suddenly attacked by nocturnal creatures.
After the formation was set up, the two continued to explore forward cautiously, always prepared to deal with any situation that might arise.
The nocturnal creatures seemed to be afraid of Luochen's defensive formation. They wandered around the perimeter of the formation, making low roars, but did not dare to break in easily. Luochen and Qingshuang took this opportunity to carefully observe the habits of these creatures and look for their weaknesses.
"They seem to be very sensitive to light." Qingshuang whispered, her eyes closely watching every move of those creatures.
"Yes." Luo Chen responded, "We can use this to create some light sources to distract them."
Luo Chen took out some special items from the storage bag Ore, these ores will emit a strong light after being stimulated by mana.
He placed the ores at several key locations in the formation, and then activated them with mana.
The light emitted by the ore instantly illuminated the surroundings. The nocturnal creatures became restless due to the stimulation of the light and began to circle in place.
"Now!" Luo Chen shouted to Qingshuang.
Qingshuang immediately understood his intention. She swung her sword and rushed out of the formation, heading straight for the nocturnal creatures.
Luo Chen stayed where he was, controlling the formation to ensure Qingshuang's safety.
Qingshuang's swordsmanship is extremely sharp, and every sword hit the nocturnal creature's vitals accurately.
Under the shining of light, the movements of nocturnal creatures become slower, giving Qingshuang more opportunities.
The battle lasted for a short time, and the nocturnal creatures were finally knocked down one by one by Qingshuang.
Seeing this, Luo Chen immediately withdrew the formation to avoid consuming too much mana.
"Good job, Qingshuang!" Luo Chen said approvingly.
Qing Shuang wiped the sweat from his forehead and responded with a smile: "Thanks to your plan, we were able to go so smoothly."
The two continued to move forward and went deep into the Evernight Valley.
As they went deeper, the surrounding environment became more and more complex, with all kinds of strange plants and terrain emerging one after another.
Luochen and Qingshuang had to stay vigilant at all times to prevent unexpected events.
During a break, Qingshuang suddenly said: "Luochen, do you feel that the air here seems to be a little different?"
Luochen took a deep breath and felt it carefully. After a moment, he nodded: "Indeed, the air here seems to contain some kind of energy. This energy makes me feel a little uneasy."
The two looked at each other and saw it in each other's eyes. A hint of worry.
They know that this may mean that there are unknown dangers ahead.
Continuing forward, they came to a huge cave.
At the entrance of the cave, there is a huge stone tablet with some ancient texts engraved on it.
"What text is this?" Qingshuang asked curiously.
Luo Chen identified it carefully and then replied: "This is an ancient rune that records some kind of warning. It seems that there may be something hidden in this cave that we cannot predict."< br>
The two entered the cave cautiously.
The interior of the cave was more spacious than they imagined, and the further inside, the stronger the uneasy feeling became.
Suddenly, a low roar came from the depths of the cave, and then, a huge black shadow rushed out of the darkness.
Luochen and Qingshuang immediately put on a defensive posture, preparing to face unknown challenges.
The black shadow gradually became clearer. It turned out to be a huge nocturnal creature. Its size was several times larger than those encountered before. Its body was covered with hard scales, and its eyes flickered ghostly in the darkness. Green light.
"Be careful, this thing is not simple!" Luo Chen warned loudly.
Qingshuang nodded, she knew that this battle would be more difficult than any before. She took a deep breath, concentrated, and prepared for the coming battle.
Luo Chen began to recite spells silently in his heart, preparing to cast powerful spells to assist Qingshuang.
The battle was about to break out. The night beast roared and rushed towards Qingshuang, its huge claws waving down with the sound of wind.
Qingshuang dodges flexibly and counterattacks with her sword.
Qingshuang's sword edge collided with the scales of the nocturnal beast, making a metallic sound.
Every attack she makes is extremely precise, but the scales of the giant beast are extremely hard and it seems difficult to cause fatal damage.
Seeing this, Luo Chen immediately released the spell in his hand. Rays of light cut through the darkness like meteors and hit the side of the giant beast.
"Qingshuang, let me help you!" Luo Chen shouted.
Qingshuang nodded, she knew that Luo Chen's spell could create opportunities for her.
She took advantage of the moment when the giant beast was attracted by Luo Chen's spell, rolled to avoid the giant beast's attack, and then quickly jumped up, pointing the tip of the sword directly at the giant beast's eyes.
The giant beast let out a painful roar, one eye was stabbed by Qingshuang's sword, and blood flowed profusely.
It shook its head angrily, trying to shake Qingshuang away, but Qingshuang grabbed the hilt of the sword tightly and refused to let go.
Seeing this, Luo Chen immediately cast another spell. This time it was a more powerful thunder and lightning, which directly hit the giant beast's other eye.
The giant beast struggled wildly in severe pain, and the entire cave shook.
"Quick, Qingshuang, take advantage of the moment!" Luo Chen shouted.
Qingshuang knew this was her last chance. She used all her strength to pierce the sword deeply into the beast's head.
The giant beast let out a last wailing cry, and then crashed to the ground, its huge body stirring up a cloud of dust.
Both Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were breathing heavily, knowing that victory in this battle was hard-won.
The two looked at each other and saw a hint of exhaustion and relief in each other's eyes.
They did not leave immediately, but carefully inspected the corpse of the giant beast, hoping to find some clues or treasures.
Sure enough, inside the giant beast, they found a crystal that gave off a faint light.
"What is this?" Qingshuang asked curiously.
Luo Chen took the crystal and observed it carefully, "This seems to be an energy crystal, which may be helpful to our cultivation."
The two put the crystal away and continued exploring the cave. They found an ancient stone door deep in the cave, with some runes also engraved on it.
"It seems that there may be a bigger secret hidden behind this door." Luochen said.
Qingshuang nodded, "Let's open it and take a look."
Luo Chen stepped forward and carefully studied the runes on the stone door.
He found that these runes were similar to those he had seen on the stone tablet at the entrance of the cave, and seemed to be a key to unlocking the mechanism.
After some attempts, Luochen finally found the correct combination of runes.
With a dull sound, the stone door slowly opened, revealing a mysterious room.
The room is filled with all kinds of strange devices and books. It was obvious that this was the relic of an ancient civilization.
Luochen and Qingshuang walked into the room cautiously, knowing that there might be endless knowledge and power hidden here.
“We found it.”
"However, this seems to be an ancient book that records the formula of ancient elixirs."
Luo Chen said in a low voice.
Luo Chen carefully picked up the ancient book. The dust on the cover fell gently, revealing simple lines and some vague words.
He gently blew away the dust on the cover, and then slowly opened the pages of the book, only to see that there were densely packed records of various complex elixir formulas and refining methods.
Qing Shuang came over curiously, her eyes quickly scanned the ancient books, and then asked: "Luochen, is there anything special about these elixir formulas?"
Luochen read attentively, nodding from time to time, as if confirming something.
“These formulas are very ancient, and some have even been lost for thousands of years. If these elixirs can be restored, it will be a huge progress for us cultivators.”
Qingshuang After hearing this, a glimmer of excitement flashed in his eyes.
“Then can’t we use these elixirs to improve our strength?”
“That’s right,” Luo Chen replied, “but some of the materials in these formulas are very rare, and may even be Already extinct, we need to study carefully to see if we can find a replacement.”
The two began to search the room for clues that might be related to the materials recorded in ancient books.
They found some ancient medicine jars and medicinal herbs. Although they were dry, they still exuded a faint medicinal fragrance.
Luochen carefully collected these herbs, hoping to find some clues.
In the corner of the room, they also found a worn map with some strange symbols and routes marked on it.
Luochen studied the map carefully, trying to decipher its meaning.
"This map seems to point to a specific area in Yongye Valley," Luo Chen said, "Maybe the materials we need are hidden there."
Qingshuang nodded, she knew Luo Chen's judgment Always accurate.
“Then what should we do next?”
“Let’s bring these information and materials back to the alliance first and let the sect masters and elders take a look. Maybe they can provide some help.” Luochen answered.
The two decided not to continue deeper into the Evernight Valley, but returned to the Alliance with the ancient books and maps they discovered.
They carefully wrapped the ancient books and herbs and left the mysterious room.
On the way back, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang discussed the contents in the ancient books and the meaning of the map.
They know that this discovery may have a profound impact on the entire alliance.
After returning to the alliance, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang immediately reported their findings to the Shui Wuhen Sect Master and the elders.
Bishui Sect, the main hall of the sect.
At this time, many high-level alliance officials had gathered in the hall.
Not only the senior officials of the Bishui Sect, but also the senior officials of the Rogue Cultivator Alliance and the Wushan Sect gathered at the venue.
Sect leader Shui Wuhen sat in the center of the hall. His eyes swept over Luo Chen and Qing Shuang, with a hint of approval in his eyes.
Beside him, several elders were also listening attentively to the reports of the two men.
"Luochen, Qingshuang, your discovery this time is very important." Shui Wuhen said slowly, "These ancient books and maps may be related to the future development of our alliance."
Qingshuang nodded slightly. She knew that this discovery was of great significance, but she was more concerned about how to use these resources to improve her own strength. (End of this chapter)
