Chapter 1921: The Massive Quicksand Whirlpool!
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
There, is something shining?Luo Qingchen felt a stir in his heart and stepped forward, cautiously pushing aside those few vines.
Behind the vines, instead of rocks, there was a small depression. At the bottom of the depression, scattered were a few palm-sized, irregularly shaped… metal fragments?
These fragments had a dark bronze color, covered with rust and dirt, looking quite inconspicuous. But on one of the fragments, there seemed to be a bit of dark red, long-dried and solidified… bloodstain?
What truly caught Luo Qingchen’s attention were the extremely ancient and mysterious runes faintly visible on the fragments! The style of these runes seemed somewhat similar to the ones he had previously seen on the Returning Ruins’ giant tower and even on that mysterious turtle shell?!
“This is…” Luo Qingchen was greatly shocked, quickly squatting down, and carefully picked up the metal fragments.
The fragments were icy to the touch, heavy, far exceeding ordinary bronze in weight. He used Chaotic Power to brush off the rust and dirt, revealing clearer runes.
These runes indeed originated from the same source as those on the turtle shell and the Returning Ruins’ giant tower, but they seemed older, more incomplete! Moreover, the fracture edges of the fragments were exceptionally neat and smooth, as if cut instantly by something incomparably sharp!
Luo Qingchen’s gaze fell again on the scar that carried Sword Intent transcending the Law, and a bold guess formed in his mind—could these fragments be remnants of a weapon or magical treasure shattered during a great battle long ago?!
He attempted to inject a trace of Chaotic Power into the fragments.
Buzz!
The fragments trembled slightly, and a faint glow suddenly appeared on the ancient runes! Immediately, a stream of information, like a gentle trickle, flowed into Luo Qingchen’s mind!
This stream of information was intermittent, incomplete, seemingly due to the fragmentation of the pieces having lost most of its content, but a few clear words instantly widened Luo Qingchen’s eyes!
“Star Map, fragments…”
“Coordinates, guidance…”
“Qingyun, direction…”
“Southwest, three thousand…”
Star map fragments? Coordinate guidance? Qingyun direction?! Southwest three thousand miles?!
Luo Qingchen’s heart pounded violently!
These fragments were actually remnants of a magical treasure that recorded the star map coordinates! Furthermore, the residual information explicitly pointed towards the “Qingyun” direction, providing an approximate distance—over three thousand miles southwest!
Although the information was incomplete, making it impossible to confirm whether this “Qingyun” was indeed their Sect “Qingyun Sect,” this was undoubtedly the first and most crucial clue they had obtained since entering this swamp!
As long as they head southwest for three thousand miles, there might be a chance to find clues related to Qingyun Sect, or perhaps even directly find the way back to the Sect!
“Great!” Luo Qingchen suppressed his inner excitement, carefully storing the star map fragments. This was simply a ray of hope in their desperate situation!
He didn’t linger any longer and immediately turned around, quickly heading back to the cave.
“Senior Brother Luo, you’re back! How was it?” Lin Wan’er noticed his return and quickly approached.
Su Xiaowan also looked at him with curiosity.
A rare smile appeared on Luo Qingchen’s face as he showed them his recent discovery and the star map fragments.
“Star map fragments? Pointing towards Qingyun direction?” Lin Wan’er was both surprised and delighted, “Really? Does that mean we can go home soon?”
“Wow! That’s great!” Su Xiaowan also jumped up excitedly, “Southwest three thousand miles! Let’s go quickly! I’ve had enough of this stinking place!”
“Don’t rush.” Luo Qingchen raised his hand, signaling them to calm down, “Although we’ve got a direction, three thousand miles is not near, and we know nothing about this swamp and the outside world. The traces of the ancient battlefield I sensed earlier, along with that Sword Intent transcending the Law, all indicate that this place is not simple. Recklessly rushing forward might lead to unimaginable dangers.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Wan’er also calmed down and nodded, “Senior Brother Luo is right. We’re not in any condition for a long journey, especially you and Ling’er…”
Luo Qingchen contemplated, “My energy has recovered a bit, but it’s still far from enough. Ling’er’s condition… is temporarily stable, but she cannot be agitated further. The urgent matter is to find a way out of this swamp area. The swamp environment is poor, and Spiritual Energy is scarce, unsuitable for our recovery and actions.”
He looked towards the southwest, eyes deep and thoughtful, “According to the fragments’ guidance, clues will only appear three thousand miles southwest. We can first attempt to exit this swamp by following this general direction. Once we reach a place with abundant Spiritual Energy, we’ll rest, gather information, confirm if ‘Qingyun’ is indeed our Sect, and then plan our next steps.”
“Yes, that seems more prudent.” Lin Wan’er agreed.
“Alright, alright, we’ll listen to you.” Although anxious, Su Xiaowan knew Luo Qingchen made sense, “But when do we set off? I feel this broken cave is also eerie.”
Luo Qingchen glanced at the still gloomy sky outside, “Let’s rest for another hour until my strength recovers a bit more. Then we’ll set off immediately, striving to cover some distance before ‘nightfall’… if there’s nightfall here at all…”
With a clear goal and direction, hope rekindled in their hearts. Although the road ahead was still full of unknowns and dangers, they were no longer blindly groping in this desperate swamp like headless flies.
