Chapter 683: The ancient vicious beast, the Netherworld Crab King!

They knew that there might be powerful monsters here.

They quickly drew their swords and held them tightly in their hands, preparing for the coming battle.

As the roar got closer and closer, a huge monster finally appeared in their sight.

It was a giant python covered with black scales and eyes like torches.

Its body is as thick as a water tank, and its length is more than ten feet.

It opened its huge mouth, exposed its sharp fangs, and pounced towards the two of them.

Luo Chen and Yun Tu flashed and avoided each other.

They swung their swords at the giant python's body at the same time, but the long swords only splashed a string of sparks on the giant python's scales, unable to cause substantial damage to it at all.

The giant python was enraged. It twisted its body even more crazily and launched a fierce attack on the two people.

Luo Chen and Yun Tu dodged the python's attack while looking for its flaws.

However, the python's defense is so strong that almost all their attacks are blocked by its scales.

Just as the two were locked in a bitter fight, Yuntu suddenly shouted: "Brother Luochen, attack it seven inches! I'll attract its attention!"

After saying this, Yun Tu's figure rose up, and the long sword in his hand turned into a bright sword light, which went straight into the eyes of the giant python.

The giant python roared in pain, and its huge body instantly twisted and rushed towards Yun Tu.

When Luo Chen saw this, he felt reassured.

Seeing the opportunity, he reached within seven inches of the giant python in a flash.

He took a deep breath, concentrated all his strength on the tip of the sword, and then stabbed out with the sword.

"laugh!"

With a soft sound, the long sword accurately penetrated the giant python's seven-inch vital spot.

The giant python's body suddenly stiffened, and then slowly fell to the ground.

Luo Chen and Yun Tu looked at each other and smiled, and both breathed a sigh of relief.

They knew that although this battle was dangerous, they ultimately won with the tacit cooperation of the two.

They walked to the python's body and began to deal with the loot.

They cut off the most precious parts of the python, the gallbladder and scales, and prepared to take them back to refine elixirs or make weapons.

At the same time, they also cut off some of the python's meat and stored it as dry food.

After dealing with the giant python, the two continued on their way.

...

The area of ​​this mysterious forest is very large, very large.

Luo Chen and Yun Tu walked for an unknown amount of time.

Until, the time came after evening.

Only then did Luo Chen and Yun Tu stop their progress, and raised a fire in a relatively safe open space.

Although, both of them are practitioners.

But I'm hungry, so I still need to eat something.

After all, they haven't reached the level of inestimation yet.

"Brother Yun."

Luochen sat by the fire, roasting the freshly caught game, and said to Yuntu: "As we walk along the way, the monsters we encounter are getting stronger and stronger. It seems that there is something hidden deep in this forest." No more secrets.”

Yuntu nodded, holding a bunch of sizzling game meat in his hand, looking deeply into the fire: "It's true, this forest is called Shadow Forest, and it is one of the most dangerous places nearby. "

"Legend has it that the ruins of ancient monsters are hidden here, as well as countless precious spiritual herbs and ores."

"It is precisely because of this that it attracts countless practitioners to come and explore."

When Luo Chen heard this, his heart moved: "The remains of ancient monsters? Isn't it possible to find powerful techniques or treasures?"

Yuntu smiled slightly: "Having said that, the danger is also huge. The ruins left by ancient monsters are often accompanied by powerful restrictions and guardian beasts. If you are not careful, you will die in them."

"Furthermore, there are many unknown crises lurking in the Shadow Forest, which even we practitioners cannot fully grasp."

Luo Chen nodded, he was well aware of the difficulties and dangers of the path of cultivation.

But it is this kind of unknown and challenge that makes him more determined to go on.

The two were silent for a while, continuing to enjoy this rare quiet time.

The firelight reflected on their faces, making them look particularly warm and peaceful.

However, the good times did not last long. Just as the two were about to fall asleep, a rush of footsteps suddenly broke the silence of the night.

Luo Chen and Yun Tu immediately became alert. They quickly stood up, clenched the swords in their hands, and looked warily towards the direction of the sound.

I saw a few black figures emerging from the woods and quickly approaching them.

When I looked closer, I realized that these black figures turned out to be the men in black who had attacked Luo Chen before!

"Humph, it's you again!"

Luo Chen snorted coldly, a murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

The leader of the man in black gave a cold smile: "Luochen, your life is really tough, you can still survive until now, but you are not so lucky this time!"

After saying this, he waved his hand, and the men in black behind him drew their weapons and rushed toward Luo Chen and Yun Tu.

Luo Chen and Yun Tu looked at each other, with a flash of determination in their eyes.

They knew this battle was inevitable.

As a result, the two men rose up at the same time, turned into two streams of light, and fought fiercely with the man in black.

In the night, the sword light flashed and the fist wind roared.

The two sides go back and forth, and the fight is inextricable.

However, the number of men in black and their tacit cooperation quickly forced Luo Chen and Yun Tu to retreat.

Luo Chen was anxious, knowing that continuing like this was not the answer.

We must find a way to break the deadlock!

Just then, he caught a glimpse of the fire nearby.

The flames in the fire were burning brightly, emitting a fiery light.

Luo Chen's heart moved and he had an idea.

He jumped up suddenly and slashed at the nearest man in black with his sword.

At the same time, he shouted: "Brother Yuntu, help me!"

When Yun Tu heard the words, he immediately understood.

He flashed and came to Luo Chen's side. The two of them used all their strength at the same time to insert their swords into the fire.

Suddenly, a blazing flame surged out from the sword and turned into two fire dragons, rushing towards the man in black.

The men in black were shocked when they saw this. They didn't expect Luo Chen and Yun Tu to have such methods.

They all dodged, but unfortunately a few were hit by the flames and instantly turned into ashes.

Seeing this, the other men in black retreated one after another, their eyes full of horror.

Luo Chen and Yun Tu took the opportunity to counterattack and killed all the remaining men in black.

After the battle, both of them looked a little tired.

But their hearts were filled with the joy of victory.

They walked to the fire and sat down, continuing to warm themselves by the fire.

"Brother Yuntu, thanks to your help today, otherwise I might not be able to escape."

Luochen said gratefully.

Yun Tu smiled slightly: "Brother Luochen, you're welcome. Since we are friends, we should naturally help each other."

"Moreover, your strength and wisdom also impress me."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and the atmosphere became more harmonious.

The night gradually deepened, and the two of them fell into sleep.

...

In the early morning of the next day, when the first ray of sunlight penetrated the gaps in the leaves and fell on the ground, Luo Chen and Yun Tu were already ready to go.

They know that although last night's battle was victorious, there is still a long road ahead and they must remain vigilant and cautious.

The two of them continued deep into the Shadow Forest along a winding path.

As they went deeper, the surrounding scene became more and more weird.

The trees became taller and thicker, and their branches and leaves were so dense that they almost covered the sky.

There is an ancient and mysterious atmosphere in the air, as if countless secrets are hidden.

They moved forward cautiously, always paying attention to what was going on around them.

At this moment, a low roar suddenly came from the front.

The voice was full of majesty and power, making both Luo Chen and Yun Tu feel palpitations.

They quickly pulled out their swords, held them tightly in their hands, and looked warily towards the direction from which the sound came.

I saw one that was huge, like a crab in the water.

The whole body is dark green and the eyes are red.

The giant beast, covered with a hard carapace and exuding a faint luster, was slowly walking out of the depths of the dense forest.

Every step it took seemed to step on everyone's heartstrings, shaking the air around it and bringing an indescribable sense of oppression.

This giant beast is obviously not comparable to any monster they have encountered before. The ancient aura exuding from its body makes people involuntarily think of those legendary ancient beasts.

"This is...the Netherworld Crab King!"

There was a hint of solemnity in Yun Tu's voice, and it was obvious that he recognized the identity of this giant beast.

The Nether Crab King, as one of the most powerful monsters in the Shadow Forest, is powerful enough to shake mountains, not to mention its almost indestructible carapace and knife-sharp pliers.

Luo Chen clenched his sword tightly with his eyes as bright as a torch. He knew that facing such an opponent, he could not show any fear or flinch.

He turned to look at Yun Tu, both of whom had firmness and determination in their eyes.

At this moment, they are no longer separate individuals, but comrades fighting side by side, facing this unprecedented challenge together.

"Brother Yuntu, let's go!"

Luo Chen gave a low shout, and his figure suddenly rose up, rushing towards the Netherworld Crab King like an arrow from a string.

Not to be outdone, Yuntu followed closely behind, with two people attacking from a flank, one on the left and the other on the right.

The Nether Crab King was obviously intimidated by the momentum of these two people, but it did not flinch. Instead, it let out a louder roar, seeming to declare its territory and majesty to the two people.

Its huge pincers suddenly waved, bringing up a strong wind and heading towards Luochen.

Luo Chen's body was flexible and he easily dodged the blow. At the same time, he swung out his long sword, and the light of the sword cut through the air like a sword and went straight to the Netherworld Crab King's vitals.

However, the Nether Crab King's carapace was extremely hard, and Luo Chen's sword light only left a shallow mark on it, failing to cause any substantial damage.

Upon seeing this, Yuntu immediately launched an attack from the flank. The long sword in his hand turned into sword shadows, covering the Nether Crab King airtightly.

But even so, the Netherworld Crab King still relied on its amazing defensive power to resolve all the attacks of the two men.

As time went by, Luo Chen and Yun Tu gradually felt exhausted.

They know that if they continue to fight head-on like this, they will only exhaust their own strength and eventually lose.

As a result, the two began to adjust their tactics, using the exquisite coordination of body and sword skills to constantly look for flaws in the Netherworld Crab King.

Finally, during a fierce confrontation, Luo Chen caught a tiny mistake made by the Nether Crab King.

He took advantage of the situation and pierced the gap in the Nether Crab King's carapace with his sword like lightning, going straight for his heart.

Yun Tu also launched a fatal blow at this moment. His long sword cut in from the other side and met Luo Chen's sword tip inside the Nether Crab King's body, forming a destructive force.

With a deafening roar, the huge body of the Nether Crab King crashed to the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.

When the dust settled, the once majestic beast had turned into a pile of lifeless debris.

Luo Chen and Yun Tu smiled at each other. Although their clothes were soaked with sweat and their faces were full of fatigue, their hearts were filled with the joy and pride of victory.

This was not only an affirmation of their own strength, but also a deepening of the tacit understanding and trust between each other.

In this dangerous shadow forest, they supported each other and faced challenges one after another together. This friendship was more precious than any treasure.

After a short rest, Luo Chen and Yun Tu continued their journey.

They knew that although they had defeated the Nether Crab King, the danger in the Shadow Forest was far from over.

In order to find opportunities and legendary treasures, they must be more cautious and careful.

As they went deeper, the scene in the Shadow Forest became more and more bizarre.

They encountered many rare flowers and plants that they had never seen before, as well as some mysterious spirit beasts.

Most of these spirit beasts were gentle and seemed to have no ill will towards Luo Chen and Yun Tu. They just looked at the two uninvited guests with curiosity.

However, under this peaceful surface, there was a greater crisis.

Luo Chen and Yun Tu gradually realized that there seemed to be some kind of power in the Shadow Forest that was secretly controlling everything.

This power was both powerful and mysterious, making it impossible to grasp its true intentions.

In order to uncover this mystery, Luo Chen and Yun Tu decided to act separately.

After they agreed on the time and place to meet, they each explored in different directions.

Luo Chen chose a seemingly more secret path. He walked forward carefully, always paying attention to the movements around him.

Suddenly, a strange fragrance came to his nose, which made him feel refreshed.

He walked in the direction of the fragrance and soon came to a sea of ​​flowers.

The flowers in this sea of ​​flowers were colorful, competing for beauty, and beautiful enough to make people intoxicated.

However, Luo Chen keenly noticed that there seemed to be some strange power hidden in these flowers.

He did not dare to be careless, and quickly used his internal strength to protect his heart meridians, just in case.

At this moment, a gentle singing voice came from the depths of the sea of ​​flowers.

The singing voice was melodious, like the sound of nature, making people feel relaxed and happy.

Luo Chen could not help but follow the sound, and soon saw a woman in colorful clothes standing in the middle of the sea of ​​flowers, humming a song softly.

The woman had a beautiful face and a refined temperament, as if she was a fairy walking out of a painting.

Her singing was full of endless sorrow and longing, which moved Luo Chen.

However, just as he was about to step forward to ask, a strong sense of crisis suddenly surged in his heart.

He turned around suddenly, and saw several black shadows approaching him silently.

These black shadows were extremely fast, like ghosts, making it difficult to guard against.
