Chapter 799 Mysterious Underground Passage?

Just then, Ziyun walked in with a trace of worry on her face.

"Luochen, Qingshuang, I just got the news that an underground passage seems to have been discovered in the middle-grade spirit stone vein jointly developed with Wushan Sect." Ziyun said.

Luochen and Qingshuang's expressions became solemn when they heard this.

"Underground passage?" Luochen frowned and repeated, "Is this news reliable?"

Ziyun nodded, "The news came from the disciples we sent to assist Wushan Sect. They said that the passage seemed to lead to an unknown area, which may be dangerous."

Qingshuang put down the teacup in her hand, her eyes firm, "It seems that we can't take it lightly. Luochen, your injury has not healed yet. I will lead the team this time."

Luochen shook his head, "No, Qingshuang, I have to go in person this time. The underground passage may be related to other crises. I can't let you face the possible danger alone."

Qingshuang wanted to say something, but seeing Luochen's firm eyes, she knew that Luochen's decision could not be changed.

"Okay, Luo Chen, but you have to promise me that once we find something wrong, we will retreat immediately." Qingshuang's tone was unquestionable.

Luo Chen smiled slightly and nodded, "I promise you, Qingshuang, we will not take unnecessary risks."

Ziyun looked at the two of them, with a trace of worry in her eyes, but she knew that Luo Chen and Qingshuang were both strong men who had experienced countless battles and knew how to deal with danger.

"Then I will arrange the staff and prepare to set off." Ziyun said, turned around and left the courtyard quickly.

Luo Chen and Qingshuang continued to stay in the stone pavilion, quietly waiting for the moment of departure.

Not long after, Ziyun returned to the courtyard with a team of elite disciples.

"Luo Chen, Qingshuang, everything is ready." Ziyun said.

Luo Chen stood up and patted the dust on his body, "Then let's go."

Qingshuang also stood up. She knew that the next action might be very dangerous, but she believed in Luo Chen and believed that they could face any challenge together.

The group left the Loose Cultivator Alliance and headed towards the Wushan Sect.

After several days of trekking, they finally arrived at the Wushan Sect's base.

The head of the Wushan Sect personally welcomed Luo Chen and Qing Shuang's group.

"Brother Luo Chen, Miss Qing Shuang, welcome to your arrival." The head of the Wushan Sect said politely.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang also responded politely.

"Head, we heard that you found an underground passage. Could you take us to see it?" Luo Chen asked directly.

The head of the Wushan Sect nodded, "Of course, this way please."

Under the leadership of the head of the Wushan Sect, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang came to the entrance of the underground passage.

At the entrance of the passage, a team of Wushan Sect disciples were guarding.

"Brother Luo Chen, Miss Qing Shuang, this is the underground passage we found." The head of the Wushan Sect pointed to the front and said.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang walked forward and carefully observed the passage.

At the entrance of the passage, there was a cold breath, as if leading to another world.

"Luo Chen, do you feel it? There seems to be a powerful force in this passage." Qingshuang whispered.

Luo Chen nodded, "Indeed, this force is extraordinary, we must be careful."

Luo Chen and Qingshuang looked at each other, they knew that this action might be more dangerous than they thought.

"Let's go in and take a look." Luo Chen said in a deep voice.

The group carefully entered the underground passage.

Inside the passage, the light was dim, and only a few oil lamps were flickering faintly.

Luo Chen and Qingshuang walked at the front of the team, and they observed their surroundings vigilantly.

Suddenly, a low roar came from the depths of the passage.

"Be careful, there is something ahead!" Luo Chen reminded in a low voice.

Before the voice fell, a group of strange creatures rushed out of the darkness and attacked Luo Chen and Qingshuang.

These creatures have strange shapes, some like wolves, some like snakes, but their eyes are flashing with bloodthirsty light.

"What kind of monsters are these?" Qingshuang exclaimed.

Luo Chen waved his sword, and the sword energy was like a rainbow, repelling several monsters rushing in front.

Qingshuang cast a frost spell, instantly lowering the temperature in the passage, making the monsters move slowly.

After a fierce battle, Luo Chen and Qingshuang finally eliminated all the monsters.

But they also found that these monsters seemed to be only the first line of defense in the passage.

"It seems that there is a bigger secret hidden in this underground passage." Luo Chen frowned and said.

Qingshuang nodded. She knew that they had to move forward and uncover this secret.

The group continued to go deeper into the underground passage, and they found that the scene in the passage became more and more weird.

The wall was engraved with ancient runes, emitting a faint light.

"These runes seem to protect some kind of power in the passage." Luo Chen whispered.

Qingshuang carefully observed the runes, and she found that these runes were related to some ancient power she saw in ancient books.

"Luo Chen, these runes may be related to a powerful race in ancient times." Qingshuang said. Luo Chen heard this, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Ancient race?" Luo Chen repeated.

Qing Shuang nodded, "Yes, this race disappeared a long time ago, but their power remained."

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at each other. They knew that this discovery might be more important than they thought.

"Let's keep going." Luo Chen said in a deep voice.

After saying this, everyone continued to walk deeper into the front.

However, the deeper they went.

The strange aura emanating from all around seemed to make people feel more and more depressed.

Even the remains of corpses left by some unknown monsters gradually appeared nearby.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang carefully bypassed these remains. They knew that the corpses of these monsters might be just the tip of the iceberg, and more dangerous creatures might be lurking deeper in the passage.

"Luo Chen, do you feel that the aura here is getting more and more wrong?" Qing Shuang asked in a low voice, with a hint of uneasiness in her voice.

Luo Chen nodded, his brows knitted, and his eyes scanned the surroundings vigilantly.

"The aura here is mixed with the smell of death and decay. We must be careful."

They continued to move forward, the passage gradually became wider, and the runes on the wall became more complex and brighter.

Suddenly, a piercing roar came from the front, followed by a heavy sound of footsteps.

"Prepare for battle!" Luo Chen shouted, and he and Qing Shuang quickly took a fighting stance, while the disciples behind him also drew their weapons, ready to deal with the upcoming threat.

A huge figure slowly walked out of the darkness. It was a huge monster covered with hard scales, and four sturdy legs supported its huge body.

Its head was like a giant wolf, but it was bigger than any wolf, and its blood-red eyes flashed with bloodthirsty light.

"What kind of monster is this?" A disciple asked in horror.

"This should be the legendary underground monster. They usually live very deep underground and feed on ores and metals." Qing Shuang explained. Although her voice was calm, Luo Chen could feel her inner tension.

Luo Chen took a deep breath. He knew that this battle would not be easy.

"Everyone be careful, the power of this underground beast is extraordinary, we can't take it lightly." Luo Chen said in a deep voice, and at the same time he held the Shuiling Sword tightly in his hand, ready to deal with the beast's attack at any time.

Qingshuang nodded, and she began to cast a spell, and the air around her seemed to condense, forming ice spikes around her.

She knew that against such a thick-skinned beast, ice spells could effectively slow down its movement speed.

"Luo Chen, I will hold it back, and you will find an opportunity to attack its weaknesses." Qingshuang commanded calmly.

Luo Chen didn't say much, just nodded, his eyes locked on the beast, looking for the opportunity to attack.

The underground beast seemed to feel the threat, it let out a deafening roar, and then took heavy steps and rushed towards Luo Chen and Qingshuang's group.

Every step it took made the ground shake, as if the entire passage was about to collapse.

Qingshuang cast a spell quickly, and ice spikes shot at the beast like a rainstorm, but the beast's scales were extremely hard, and many ice spikes only left shallow marks on its body.

Luo Chen took the opportunity to launch an attack, and the Shuiling Sword drew blue light in the air. The power of the water element condensed at the tip of the sword, forming a series of water blades, which slashed at the head and limbs of the beast.

Although the beast had thick skin and flesh, it seemed a little strenuous to face the joint attack of Luo Chen and Qingshuang.

It roared and tried to slap Luo Chen with its huge claws, but Luo Chen dodged flexibly and avoided the attack every time.

The battle lasted for several minutes, and Luo Chen and Qingshuang gradually found the attack rhythm of the beast and began to counterattack in an orderly manner.

Finally, with a subtle coordination, Luo Chen's water blade successfully cut off one of the beast's front legs, and Qingshuang's ice spikes pierced the beast's neck, causing a fatal blow.

The beast let out a final wail, then fell to the ground with a bang, shaking the entire passage.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at each other, knowing that although the battle was difficult, it was finally over.

The disciples behind them also breathed a sigh of relief, put down their weapons, and began to check their injuries.

"Luo Chen, Qing Shuang, are you all right?" Zi Yun asked with concern.

Luo Chen shook his head, "We are fine, just a little tired, everyone take a rest first, and then we will continue to move forward."

Qing Shuang nodded, and she began to cast healing spells to help the injured disciples recover from their injuries.

Luo Chen stood guard to ensure that there would be no other dangers.

After a short rest, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang led the disciples to continue to go deeper into the underground passage.

At the end of the passage, there seemed to be a ray of light flashing, which was different from the dimness in the passage. It seemed to be particularly bright, as if it was a symbol of hope.

"What is that?" a disciple asked curiously.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at each other. They knew that behind the light, there might be the biggest secret of this underground passage.

"Let's go and take a look." Luo Chen said, his voice full of determination.

The group walked carefully towards the light. As they approached, the light became brighter and brighter. Finally, they came to a huge underground cave.

In the center of the cave, there was a huge crystal column, emitting dazzling light. In the crystal column, it seemed that some powerful existence was sealed.

"This is..." Qing Shuang said in surprise. She had never seen such a strange sight.

Luo Chen stepped forward and carefully observed the crystal pillar.

He discovered that the crystal pillars were engraved with some ancient runes, similar to those on the walls of the passage, but more complex.

"This may be a seal left by an ancient race." Luo Chen whispered.

Qingshuang nodded, "It seems that we have found an important discovery, but we cannot touch this seal easily."

Luochen agreed with Qingshuang's view. He knew that any improper operation of the seal could lead to catastrophic consequences.

"We need more information."

Luochen said, his eyes turned to other parts of the cave, hoping to find some clues.

Just then, they heard a slight noise, which seemed to come from the other end of the cave.

"There seems to be something over there." One disciple said nervously.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang immediately raised their vigilance. They knew that in a place like this, any movement might mean danger.

They walked cautiously towards the source of the sound and found a hidden corner where there was an ancient altar with some strange items placed on it.

"These are..." Qingshuang said in surprise. She recognized some of the items as relics of ancient races.

Luochen stepped forward and carefully observed the items on the altar.

He found one of the items particularly eye-catching, a blood-red crystal.

The crystal was still faintly emitting bursts of scarlet light.

Luo Chen reached out and gently touched the blood-red crystal, feeling a strange energy flowing through his fingertips.

He turned to look at Qingshuang, with a questioning look in his eyes.

"The power contained in this crystal is very ancient. I feel a calling." Qingshuang's voice contained a hint of uncertainty.

"Summoning?" Luo Chen frowned, knowing that any summons of ancient power might bring unpredictable consequences.

Ziyun and his disciples gathered around, their eyes full of curiosity and vigilance.

Ziyun asked softly: "Luochen, Qingshuang, what should we do next?"

Qingshuang pondered for a moment, and then said: "We need to figure out the origin of this crystal and the power it summons. This may be related to the secret of the entire underground passage."

Luo Chen nodded, he agreed with Qing Shuang's view.

He turned to Ziyun and ordered: "Ziyun, take a few people to guard here and don't let anyone approach this altar. Qingshuang and I will continue to explore to see if we can find more clues."

Ziyun took the order and quickly arranged for several disciples to set up defenses around the altar.

Luochen and Qingshuang continued to go deep into the cave. They found that the walls of the cave were carved with various strange patterns and symbols, which seemed to tell an ancient story.
