Chapter 714 Leaving the Desert!

After the battle, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were exhausted, but they knew that it was not time to rest yet.

They quickly returned along the original route and left the Ghost Forest.

After more than ten days, they returned to the desert again.

After returning to the tribe, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang immediately began to repair the spirit crystal.

In the center of the tribe, on an ancient altar, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang carefully placed the roots of the ghost flower next to the spirit crystal.

As they cast spells, the roots of the ghost flower began to emit a soft light, which complemented the brilliance of the spirit crystal.

A powerful energy wave spread from the center of the altar, and the entire desert seemed to tremble slightly under this power.

The old man and other members of the tribe watched nervously, knowing that this would be the moment that determined their fate.

The sweat on Luo Chen and Qing Shuang's foreheads kept rolling down, and they concentrated on guiding the energy to ensure that everything went smoothly.

Finally, after several hours of spellcasting, the light of the spirit crystal gradually stabilized, and the roots of the ghost flower gradually withered.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. They knew that the seal had been strengthened, and at least in the short term, the desert would return to peace again.

The old man walked forward excitedly, his eyes full of gratitude and respect: "Thank you very much, if it weren't for you..."

Luo Chen waved his hand and said modestly: "No need, this is what I should do."

Qing Shuang also nodded in agreement: "Yes, we must ensure that this seal can continue to prevent similar crises in the future."

The old man nodded, he understood what Luo Chen and Qing Shuang meant.

They need to find a way to ensure the stability of the seal to avoid any accidents in the future.

"There is an ancient book in our tribe, which records a lot of knowledge about seals and natural treasures. Maybe you can find the answer there."

The old man suggested.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at each other, they knew that this might be a clue.

So, they followed the old man to the tribal library, which was an ancient building made of stone and wood, full of the weight of history.

In the library, they found the ancient book.

The pages were yellowed, but the words on them were still clearly visible.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang flipped through it carefully, looking for possible clues.

After several days of research, they finally found a key piece of information in an appendix.

It turned out that in the deeper part of the desert, there was a mysterious substance called "Sky Crystal Stone", which could resonate with the Spirit Crystal and further strengthen the stability of the seal.

And the so-called Sky Crystal was in the deepest part of the desert.

The tribe was on the periphery of the desert.

Because the deepest part of the desert was filled with yellow sand and the vision was blocked.

Moreover, the danger level was extremely high.

Therefore, generally no one dared to enter the depths of the desert.

Now suddenly they had to go in to find something, this...

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at each other. They knew that this was a road full of unknowns and dangers, but in order to ensure the stability of the seal, they had no choice.

"We have to go to the depths of the desert." Luo Chen said firmly.

Qingshuang nodded. She knew that what Luo Chen said was right, although her heart was also full of worries.

The old man looked at them, with a trace of worry in his eyes: "Are you really going? That is a place that even the bravest warriors in our tribe dare not easily set foot in."

"We have no other choice." Qingshuang replied. Although her voice was calm, it revealed a firmness.

So Luo Chen and Qingshuang began to prepare for the journey into the depths of the desert.

They collected enough food and water, and prepared various anti-sand equipment.

The old man also specially prepared an ancient map for them, which marked the possible dangers in the depths of the desert and some legendary landmarks.

On the day of departure, the whole tribe came to see them off.

The children surrounded them curiously, and the old people prayed silently, hoping that they would return safely.

Luo Chen and Qingshuang set out on the road to the depths of the desert.

At first, they could still see some sparse vegetation and occasional animals, but as they went deeper, the surroundings became more and more desolate, with only endless yellow sand and occasional strong winds.

Following the instructions on the map, they carefully avoided some legendary dangerous areas, such as the "Valley of Death" and the "Ghost Dunes".

These places are said to be full of various traps and deadly creatures, and they will die if they are not careful.

After several days of arduous trekking, they finally came to a place called "Tian Jing Valley".

This place is completely different from the desert outside. Some strange plants grow in the valley, emitting a faint light.

In the center of the valley, there is a huge transparent stone that emits a soft blue light. That is the legendary Tian Jing Stone.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang approached the Tian Jing Stone carefully. They could feel the powerful power emanating from the stone.

Just as they were about to collect the Tian Jing Stone, suddenly, the ground began to shake, and a powerful force surged from the ground, shaking them out.

They stood up quickly and saw a huge sand monster coming out from the ground. Its body was made up of countless grains of sand, but it had a clear outline and fierce eyes.

"It's the Sand Demon!" Qingshuang exclaimed.

The sand demon roared, and countless grains of sand shot towards Luo Chen and Qingshuang like sharp arrows.

They immediately used spells and sword skills to start a fierce battle with the sand demon.

The battle was extremely difficult. The sand demon's body could change at will. Sometimes it turned into a sand wall, sometimes into a sharp blade. Every attack made Luo Chen and Qing Shuang feel tremendous pressure.

But they did not back down, they knew that only by defeating the Sand Demon could they obtain the Sky Crystal.

After a hard fight, Luochen and Qingshuang finally found the weakness of the sand demon. Its heart is made of a special piece of sand.

Luo Chen took advantage of the moment when the sand demon attacked Qingshuang, rushed forward, and stabbed the sword into the heart of the sand demon with all his strength.

The Sand Demon let out a shrill scream, and his body began to collapse, eventually turning into a pile of ordinary sand and disappearing into the wind.

Luochen and Qingshuang collapsed on the ground exhausted, but they knew that they succeeded.

They carefully removed the sky crystal from the sand and returned to the tribe with it.

After returning to the tribe, they immediately began to strengthen the seal of the spiritual crystal.

With the help of the Sky Crystal, the power of the seal was greatly enhanced, and the entire desert regained its tranquility.

The old man and the tribe members cheered, knowing that this time, they could finally feel at ease.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang also breathed a sigh of relief. They had completed this matter.

I can finally relax a little.

...

After saying goodbye to the elders of the tribe, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang also left.

They arrived at this desert by chance.

Likewise, their experience is not over yet.

Naturally, it is impossible to stay in this desert for a long time.

"Qingshuang, where do you want to go?"

Outside the desert, on the deserted road, Luo Chen asked in a low voice.

Qingshuang narrowed his eyes slightly, thought for a while, and then said: "I heard that there seems to be a swamp in the south. In the swamp, there is a tree called Qinghongguo. According to rumors, the Qinghongguo not only tastes extremely good, but is even delicious. It can help restore mental strength.”

"It's just that this tree is extremely rare and not many people can encounter it."

"How about we go over there and have a look?"

After hearing this, Luo Chen's eyes flashed with curiosity, and he nodded to express his agreement with Qing Shuang's proposal.

The two then embarked on a journey to the southern swamp.

They passed through the sparse woodland on the edge of the desert, and gradually the surrounding scenery began to become moist.

The humidity in the air gradually increases, and the sky in the distance becomes gray, which seems to indicate that we are about to enter a completely different environment.

After several days of trekking, they finally arrived at the legendary swamp.

The swamp has an air of decay, but it also has an air of vitality.

All kinds of strange plants grow here, some tall and straight, others low and creeping.

A thin layer of mist floats on the surface of the swamp, making the entire environment appear somewhat mysterious.

Luochen and Qingshuang walked carefully through the swamp, always alert to possible dangers around them.

There are many unknown creatures hidden in the swamp. Some may be harmless to humans, but some may be deadly.

Following the clues Qingshuang heard, they searched for the legendary green-red fruit tree.

However, after searching for several days, I found nothing.

The so-called green and red fruit tree?

It's like it's just a legend.

This not only made Luo Chen feel a little discouraged.

Qingshuang did not give up, she believed in her intuition and the legends she heard.

During a break, Qingshuang took out a piece of yellowed paper from the pouch at her waist, with a crude map and some vague symbols drawn on it. She studied it carefully, trying to find clues.

"Look here." Qing Shuang pointed to a circled area on the map: "If we go in the direction pointed by this symbol, we may be able to find the green and red fruit trees."

Luochen nodded, trusting Qingshuang's judgment.

The two packed their bags and continued deeper into the swamp.

As they progressed, the surroundings grew darker and the types of trees and vegetation became increasingly bizarre.

They even saw some luminous plants, which glowed faintly in the dim swamp, guiding them in the direction.

Finally, one morning, when the first ray of sunlight penetrated the fog, they discovered an unusual area.

The plants here are more lush, and there is a light fragrance in the air.

In an open land, they saw several tall trees, full of green and red fruits. It was the green and red fruit trees they were looking for.

Qingshuang and Luochen ran over excitedly, and they carefully picked some fruits.

Qingshuang took a bite. The pulp was sweet and juicy, and it really had a refreshing feeling.

Luo Chen also tried one. He felt a warm current flowing through his body, which seemed to be really beneficial to his mental strength.

Just as they were immersed in the joy of discovery, suddenly the ground began to shake and a low roar came from the swamp.

The two quickly became alert, knowing that the creature hidden in the swamp had finally appeared.

A huge swamp beast slowly rose from the mud. Its body was huge, covered with thick scales, and its heavy body was supported by four thick legs.

The Swamp Beast's eyes were like two burning fireballs, staring at Luo Chen and Qing Shuang.

"Be careful, the power of this swamp beast should not be underestimated." Qingshuang warned in a low voice.

Luo Chen held the hilt tightly, he knew that this battle was inevitable.

The swamp beast roared and attacked them.

Luo Chen and Qingshuang quickly dispersed, using trees and terrain to avoid the swamp beast's attack.

They continued to use sword skills, trying to find the weakness of the swamp beast.

The battle lasted for a long time. Although Luo Chen and Qingshuang were agile, the swamp beast had a strong defense, and their attacks did not seem to cause much damage to it.

Just when they felt powerless, Qingshuang suddenly thought of something, and she took out a green-red fruit from her waist.

"Luo Chen, use this!" Qingshuang shouted.

Luo Chen immediately understood Qingshuang's intention, he took the green-red fruit and swallowed it quickly.

A powerful force broke out in his body, his mental power instantly increased, and the sword in his hand seemed to be given new power.

Luo Chen shouted and rushed towards the swamp beast with his sword.

This time, his sword cut through the scales of the swamp beast and pierced deeply into its body.

The swamp beast uttered a painful wail and finally fell into the mud.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang smiled at each other. They knew that this adventure had made them grow a lot.

As the swamp beast fell, the surrounding swamps seemed to have returned to calm.

After confirming that the swamp beast was completely dead, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed on the ground.

"I didn't expect that this Qinghong fruit would have such a magical effect." Luo Chen exclaimed.

Qing Shuang smiled slightly and said, "This Qinghong fruit is not an ordinary thing. Legend has it that it contains the essence of heaven and earth and can help practitioners improve their spiritual power. It seems that it is not a lie."

After resting for a while, the two decided to continue exploring this mysterious swamp.

They knew that there might be more secrets and adventures hidden in this swamp.

Next to the Qinghong fruit tree, they found a trail that seemed to lead deeper into the swamp.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at each other and decided to follow this trail.

The vegetation on both sides of the trail became more and more lush, and various exotic flowers exuded charming fragrance.

They even saw some creatures they had never seen before, living leisurely in the swamp.

After walking for a while, they came to an open lake.

The lake water was clear and some exotic aquatic plants were floating on the lake.

There was a small island in the middle of the lake, and a huge tree grew on the island, and the tree was full of crystal clear fruits.

"What is that?" Luo Chen asked curiously.

Qingshuang observed it carefully and said, "That should be the legendary crystal fruit. It is said that eating it can give people powerful strength."
