Chapter 1893: Turtle Shell? Life Gate!
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
“Huh? My little Turtle Shell…” Su Xiaowan stared blankly at the Turtle Shell in her arms, glowing with a gentle yellow light. Just now, she felt a warm and heavy power pour from the shell into her body, instantly dispelling all fear and coldness, leaving her feeling comfortably warm. This broken trinket might actually be a treasure?“Well done, Xiaowan!” Luo Qingchen seized the opportunity as the Chaotic Power erupted once more, “Chaos Inference!”
He quickly formed seals with both hands, instantly condensing several chaotic rings in front of him, and thrust them forward! This time, he not only guided the chaotic Star Energy around him but also swept in the out-of-control negative energy shadows along with it!
Rumble! An even more violent torrent of gray energy roared out like an angry dragon, sweeping away the remaining shadows and fiercely crashing against the dark rock wall deep in the crevice!
Thud!!! A dull thud came from the depths of the rock wall, as if something had been hit. Immediately, a colder and more tyrannical aura flashed by, then quickly retreated, disappearing deeper into the crevice.
“Did it… did it run away?” Su Xiaowan asked somewhat uncertainly, as the glow from the Turtle Shell in her arms gradually dimmed, returning to its unremarkably dark appearance.
“It’s retreated for now.” Luo Qingchen sheathed his sword and stood still, but his expression grew even more solemn.
That last strike, he vaguely sensed that he might have touched the essence of that existence, or a part of its power core.
It was an extremely insidious, cunning consciousness, full of devouring desire, seemingly very interested in the souls of living beings and specialized energies.
Moreover, the recoil from that last hit also caused his already weakened body to suffer another impact, his blood and energy churning.
Lin Wan’er quickly walked to his side, looking at his pale face, her concern evident, but she said nothing, only silently transferring a gentle vitality force into his body.
“Luo Senior Brother, are you alright?” Su Xiaowan also came over, looking at Luo Qingchen, then at the Turtle Shell in her arms, her small face filled with both fear and curiosity, “What is this cursed thing? It seemed like it wanted to steal my little Turtle Shell just now?”
Luo Qingchen took a deep breath, shaking his head: “I’m not sure, but it’s definitely not benevolent. It seems to be lurking deep in this crevice, feeding on the chaotic energy and negative aura here, and might even be related to some ‘source of pollution’ in these ruins. It’s very interested in certain traits of ours, especially… Chaotic Power and Dragon Soul.” He glanced at Bai Ling’er, who was still in slumber, his brow furrowing with worry. That presence had clearly also sensed Bai Ling’er’s Dragon Soul aura, though faint, it was enough to arouse its covetousness.
He then looked at the Turtle Shell in Su Xiaowan’s arms: “Xiaowan, this thing of yours is not simple, it seems to have a restraining effect on that insidious energy and can autonomously protect its owner. Keep it safe, it might come in handy at a critical moment.”
Upon hearing this, Su Xiaowan carefully tucked the Turtle Shell back into her arms like a treasure, muttering quietly, “Hmph, good thing you have good judgment, all the things I’ve picked up are indeed treasures…”
Although they had temporarily repelled that strange presence, all three of them knew the danger was not over. That thing had only retreated for now and was likely still lurking in the dark, waiting for the next opportunity. Plus, the recent battle had created quite a commotion, who knew if it would attract other trouble.
“This place is not safe to linger, we must leave this crevice as soon as possible.” Luo Qingchen decided decisively. He sensed that the strange presence seemed to have a strong control over this crevice, and staying here would only make them increasingly passive.
“Which way do we go?” Su Xiaowan asked, glancing around. Besides the way they came, it seemed there was only the deeper extension of the crevice.
Luo Qingchen’s gaze moved to the top of the crevice. Although this crevice was massive, it was not completely sealed. On the towering rock walls on both sides, there were some broken metal platforms and twisted structures that seemed to offer a way upward.
“Upwards! Leave the crevice range, return to the surface of the ruins, and then head to that giant tower as quickly as possible!” Luo Qingchen pointed to a relatively stable broken platform above.
Although the giant tower was also dangerous, there was at least a clear goal there—a “Life Gate”. Staying in this mysterious and eerie crevice would only allow the hidden enemy to slowly wear them down.
The three hesitated no longer. After a brief breath regulation, Luo Qingchen suppressed the churning energy and blood and began to climb upward. The rock walls of the crevice were steep and slippery, full of sharp metal fragments, making climbing extremely difficult. Luo Qingchen used Chaotic Power to adhere his hands and feet, trying to choose stable footholds and staying vigilant for possible attacks from the darkness below at any moment.
Lin Wan’er firmly secured Bai Ling’er to her back with cloth straps and followed closely. Her movement technique was nimble and her actions agile, with the aid of Heavenly Essence Spiritual Power, she wasn’t trailing behind. Su Xiaowan was struggling a bit; her cultivation was the lowest, and she lacked strength, panting heavily after a few steps and almost slipping several times, luckily Luo Qingchen and Lin Wan’er caught her in time.
“Oh… I can’t go on… my arms and legs are jelly…” Su Xiaowan hung onto a protruding rock, on the verge of tears.
“Hold on! We’re almost there!” Luo Qingchen said sternly, while channeling a wisp of Chaotic Power to form a tiny vortex under her feet, slightly supporting her body.
Just then, the cold and eerie aura began to quietly spread from the deep darkness below again, stronger than before! It seemed that presence was unwilling to let them leave just like that!
