"Are you ready?" Luo Chen asked.
"Ready." Qingshuang replied.
Luo Chen took a deep breath and began to recite the mantra to guide the power of the spirit stone.
As the spell progressed, the Lingyuan Stone began to emit a soft light, the light gradually became stronger, and the entire magic circle began to operate.
A powerful energy flowed in the magic circle, and Luo Chen and Qing Shuang felt a warm force surrounding them.
They knew that the power of the Lingyuan Stone had been successfully channeled.
"Now, it's time to repair the cracks in space." Luo Chen said.
According to the method recorded in the old man's book, the two slowly injected the power of the spirit stone into the space crack.
The cracks began to gradually heal, and the surrounding air seemed to become distorted due to the flow of energy.
Countless demonic energies seemed to sense that the cracks were about to be repaired.
So, I wanted to get out like crazy.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang felt a powerful force gathering in their hands. They knew that this force was enough to repair the space crack.
However, the resistance of the demonic energy is also extremely strong, and it seems unwilling to give up.
"Qingshuang, we have to work harder!" Luo Chen gritted his teeth, beads of sweat oozing out from his forehead.
Qingshuang nodded, her eyes flashing with determination, she held the edge of the magic circle tightly with both hands, pouring all her spiritual power into it.
"Luochen, I feel it, the cracks in space are responding to our power!" Qing Shuang's voice contained a hint of surprise.
"Then continue, don't stop!" Luo Chen shouted, his sword eyebrows furrowed, concentrating on guiding the power of the Lingyuan Stone.
As time goes by, the edges of the space cracks begin to gradually merge, and the resistance of the demonic energy gradually weakens.
Finally, after a burst of dazzling light, the space cracks completely healed, and the surrounding air returned to calm.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at each other and smiled.
The two rested for a while in the magic circle and recovered some strength.
Afterwards, they cleaned up the scene and prepared to return to the village to report the good news to the old man.
After returning to the village, Luochen and Qingshuang visited the white-haired old man again.
"Old senior, the space crack has been successfully repaired." Luo Chen said respectfully.
After hearing this, the old man's eyes flashed with relief: "You have done a good job."
"We just did what we should do." Qingshuang replied modestly.
The old man nodded, then took out a small jade bottle from his arms and handed it to Luo Chen: "I'll give this to you. I have no use keeping it myself. There is a drop of pure spiritual liquid in it, which can help you." Restore physical strength and improve cultivation.”
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang took the jade bottle and expressed their gratitude to the old man again.
"Okay, now that this is over, you can leave."
The old man whispered.
Luochen and Qingshuang nodded.
Afterwards, the two left the place.
The cracks were finally repaired, and these things were finally over for the time being.
"Where to go next?"
Qing Shuang turned her head and asked Luo Chen in a low voice beside her.
Luo Chen thought for a while, and then said: "Let's go back to the alliance first. We have been out for a while, and we don't know what is going on with the alliance now."
Luochen and Qingshuang embarked on the road back to the alliance.
Along the way, they talked about their adventure and the challenges they might face in the future.
Luochen looked into the distance, his heart filled with expectations for the future and worries about the alliance.
"The Alliance side should be fine, after all, there are so many masters here." Qingshuang tried to comfort Luo Chen, but there was a trace of uncertainty in her voice.
"I hope so." Luo Chen replied softly, his eyes firm and profound, "However, we cannot take it lightly. Although the matter in Netherworld Abyss has come to an end, who knows whether there will be a new crisis."
< br>
Qingshuang nodded, she knew Luo Chen was right.
They must remain vigilant and ready to respond to any threat that may arise.
After several days of trekking, they finally saw the alliance's city.
The Union flag was flying on the city wall, which looked particularly solemn.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang quickened their pace and walked towards the city gate.
The guards at the city gate recognized them and immediately let them go.
Luochen and Qingshuang walked into the city and found that people on the streets were still busy and everything looked normal.
"It seems that nothing major happened in the alliance." Qingshuang breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yes, but we should go to the alliance headquarters first and report the situation to the elders." Luo Chen suggested.
They passed through the crowd and arrived at the alliance headquarters.
The door to the headquarters opened, and Luo Chen and Qing Shuang walked in.
The atmosphere inside seemed a little tense, but orderly.
They were ushered into the council chamber of the elders.
When the elders saw that Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were back safe and sound, they all showed expressions of relief.
"Luochen, Qingshuang, you are back." An older elder stood up and greeted them with a smile.
"Yes, elder." Luo Chen bowed respectfully, "We have repaired the space cracks in Netherworld Abyss."
After hearing this, the elders nodded in approval.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang reported the entire process in detail, and the elders listened very carefully.
"You have done a good job and have made great contributions to the alliance." Another elder said, "However, you have worked hard. Go and rest first. If there is anything else, we will discuss it later."
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang nodded and exited the meeting hall.
They found their room and could finally get some rest.
In the next few days, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang rested in the alliance while also paying attention to the trends of the alliance.
They know that although the crisis in Netherworld Abyss has been resolved, new challenges may come at any time.
Soon, it was another day later.
Luochen and Qingshuang were invited to attend the alliance's high-level meeting.
They walked into the conference room and found that many important decision-makers were already there.
"Luochen, Qingshuang, we have a new task for you." An elder said seriously.
Luochen and Qingshuang looked at each other, and they knew that a new adventure was about to begin.
"Please give me the elder's orders." Luo Chen replied firmly.
The elders began to explain the content of the task in detail.
It turns out that a group of spirit beasts called blood-antlered deer appeared in the northern region of the alliance.
The Alliance, on the other hand, wants to capture that batch and keep them in captivity.
So, he was called. Luo Chen and Qing Shuang listened quietly to the elders' stories, understanding the importance of this mission.
The blood-antlered deer spirit beast is not only rare, but also of immeasurable value to the alliance's spirit beast research.
Capturing them and successfully raising them in captivity will have a profound impact on the future of the Alliance.
"We understand, elders." Luo Chen replied solemnly after listening to the mission description, "We will do our best to complete the mission."
Qingshuang also nodded in agreement. She knew that this mission was not only for the alliance, but also to protect these precious spiritual beasts from external threats.
After the meeting, Luochen and Qingshuang began to prepare to leave.
They need to collect information about the blood-horned deer spirit beast, understand their habits, and the areas where they may appear.
At the same time, they also need to prepare some special tools and equipment to minimize damage to the spirit beasts during the capture process.
During the preparation period, Luochen and Qingshuang also spent time studying the information provided by the alliance.
The blood-horned deer spirit beast is a kind of spirit beast that lives in the northern mountainous area. Their horns have powerful spiritual power and can absorb the essence of heaven and earth. They are the treasures coveted by many cultivators.
However, blood-antlered deer spirit beasts are gentle in nature and do not like contact with humans, so you need to be extra careful when catching them.
"We have to make a detailed plan." Luo Chen said to Qingshuang after sorting out the information, "We cannot let these spiritual beasts be unnecessarily frightened."
Qingshuang nodded in agreement. She knew that Luo Chen's plans were always thorough and meticulous.
The two began to discuss how to get close to the blood-antlered deer spirit beasts, how to capture them using the special tools provided by the alliance, and how to bring them safely back to the alliance.
After several days of preparation, Luochen and Qingshuang finally set foot on the road to the northern mountains.
They rode the fast horses provided by the alliance and rode along the winding mountain road.
Along the way, they admired the scenery along the way, while silently thinking about capturing every detail of the plan.
Finally, they came to the mountainous area where the blood-antlered deer spirit beast was haunted.
The scenery here is completely different from what Luochen and Qingshuang had seen before. The peaks are towering into the clouds, and the valleys are shrouded in mist, just like a fairyland.
The blood-horned deer spirit beast lives in this mysterious land.
"We have to be careful." Luo Chen whispered to Qingshuang, "The environment here is complicated, and we cannot let the spirit beasts be disturbed."
Qingshuang nodded, she knew Luo Chen's worries.
The two began to search for traces of the blood-horned deer spirit beast in the valley. They moved forward cautiously, fearing to make any noise.
After a period of searching, they finally found traces of the blood-horned deer spirit beast.
A group of blood-antlered deer spirit beasts were foraging leisurely in the valley, their horns shining faintly in the sun.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at each other, and they knew it was time to take action.
According to the plan, they began to slowly approach the blood-antlered deer spirit beast.
Luochen holds a special tool provided by the alliance in his hand. This is a cage that emits a soft light, which can attract the attention of spiritual beasts without causing harm to them.
Qingshuang was watching the reaction of the spirit beast from the side, making sure everything was under control.
Luochen gently placed the cage on the ground, and then slowly opened the cage door.
The soft light began to attract the attention of the blood-horned deer spirit beasts. They approached the cage curiously, seemingly curious about this glowing object.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang held their breaths and watched this scene nervously.
Finally, a blood-horned deer spirit beast cautiously walked into the cage, and other spirit beasts followed it, entering the cage one after another.
When all the blood-antlered deer spirit beasts entered the cage, Luo Chen gently closed the cage door.
The light in the cage became softer, and the spirit beasts did not seem to feel uneasy, but seemed very calm.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang breathed a sigh of relief. They successfully captured the blood-horned deer spirit beast.
The next task is to bring them safely back to the Alliance.
However, this journey back to the alliance is probably not going to be easy.
Blood-antlered deer, this is a spiritual beast.
His flesh and blood are all treasures.
If others saw him carrying these spiritual beasts and blood-antlered deer, they would probably choose to attack him out of greed.
"Qingshuang, prepare a little and let's go!"
Luochen and Qingshuang carefully fixed the cage on the horse's back to ensure that the blood-horned deer spirit beast could be safe and comfortable on the way back to the alliance.
They know that these spiritual beasts are of great significance to the alliance, but at the same time they also understand the dangers they may encounter along the way.
"We have to be vigilant at all times." Luo Chen said to Qingshuang, with a hint of seriousness in his eyes.
Qingshuang nodded. She was ready. Whether facing natural challenges or potential hostility, she was willing to fight side by side with Luo Chen.
They started on their way back, walking slowly along the mountain road they came from.
The wind in the valley blew gently, bringing with it a hint of coolness and the freshness of the mountains.
Luochen and Qingshuang looked back from time to time to check on the blood-horned deer spirit beasts in the cage to make sure they were safe and sound.
"Luochen, look over there." Qingshuang suddenly pointed to the forest not far away, with a hint of nervousness in his voice.
Luo Chen looked in the direction Qing Shuang pointed and saw a few figures looming in the forest, seemingly following them.
This was just when we started our journey and we met such a group of people.
It really makes people feel a little big-headed!
The group of people hidden in the shadows looked extremely excited at the moment.
The leader, who was wearing a red shirt, looked at the spiritual beast Blood-antlered Deer imprisoned in the cage, and his eyes almost glowed.
"Dig a hole, brothers, that's a blood-antlered deer!"
"The spiritual beast Blood-antlered Deer!"
"And there seems to be a lot of them."
"If we can capture this batch of blood-antlered deer, we will really make a fortune!"
"These guys don't look like kind-hearted people." Luo Chen whispered to Qing Shuang, and his hand had quietly touched the hilt of the sword at his waist.
Qingshuang nodded, a trace of vigilance flashed in her eyes: "We have to deal with it carefully, we can't let these guys succeed."
Luochen and Qingshuang continued to move forward, but their pace obviously accelerated.
They knew that if they were caught up by those people, a battle would be inevitable.
And they must protect these precious blood-horned deer spirit beasts and not let them fall into greedy hands.
"Luochen, should we find a place to hide first and see what those guys want to do?" Qingshuang suggested.
"Good idea." Luochen agreed to Qingshuang's suggestion, and they began to look for a place to hide.
Fortunately, they soon discovered a hidden cave.
Luochen and Qingshuang quickly brought the horses and cages into the cave, and then carefully covered the entrance of the cave.
"Let's wait here for them to pass before we continue on the road." Luochen whispered.
Qingshuang nodded, she knew that Luo Chen's plan was the best choice at the moment.
They waited quietly, holding their breath and listening to what was going on outside.
Soon, the group of people arrived near the cave. (End of chapter)
