Chapter 816 The spirit beast is injured, looking for the midnight spirit grass!

They walked towards the blood-horned deer being cared for by the alliance members. Seeing that they were placed in a comfortable environment, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were relieved.

"It seems that they have adapted to the environment here." Qing Shuang observed the reaction of the blood-horned deer.

"Yes, they look calm." Luo Chen nodded in agreement.

Just then, a veterinarian from the alliance came over, and he looked a little worried.

"Luo Chen, Qing Shuang, I just checked these blood-horned deer. They are in good health, but one seems to be a little wrong." The veterinarian said.

"Which one?" Luo Chen and Qing Shuang asked in unison.

The veterinarian pointed to one of the blood-horned deer, "This one, its body temperature is a little abnormal, and further examination may be needed."

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang immediately became nervous, and they followed the veterinarian to the blood-horned deer.

"It looks weak." Qing Shuang said worriedly.

"Don't worry, we will take good care of it." The veterinarian comforted.

Luo Chen nodded, and turned to Qingshuang, "Qingshuang, you go and rest first, I'll watch over here."

"No, Luo Chen, I want to stay." Qingshuang insisted.

Luo Chen knew Qingshuang's stubbornness, so he didn't persuade her anymore.

They stayed by the side of the blood-horned deer together until the veterinarian came back with a treatment plan.

"I have prepared some herbs, which should help it recover, but unfortunately there is a lack of midnight spirit grass..." the veterinarian whispered.

"Midnight Spiritual Grass?" Luo Chen frowned slightly, thinking, "Isn't there such a spiritual grass in the medicine garden of the alliance?"

The veterinarian shook his head, "Midnight Spiritual Grass grows in extremely yin places, it is very rare, and there is no such spiritual grass in the medicine garden of the alliance."

Luo Chen pondered for a moment, then said to Qing Shuang: "I remember that on the way here, we passed a gloomy valley, there might be midnight spiritual grass there."

Qing Shuang's eyes flashed with a trace of worry, "Luo Chen, there are many unknown dangers in that valley, you can't go alone."

Luo Chen smiled and comforted her, "Don't worry, I will be careful, and I need you to take care of the blood-horned deer here to make sure it's okay."

Qing Shuang hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded, "Then you must be careful, I will wait for you here."

Luo Chen nodded, then turned around and prepared to set off.

He took some necessities from the warehouse of the alliance, and then embarked on a journey to find midnight spiritual grass alone.

Luo Chen returned along the original route, crossed the mountains and forests, crossed the stream, and finally arrived at the gloomy valley when night fell.

The valley was filled with a faint mist, and it was so quiet that only his own breathing could be heard.

Luo Chen carefully searched in the valley, his eyes swept over every place where the Midnight Spirit Grass might grow.

Finally, in the crack of a rock, he found a plant emitting a faint blue light.

"This is the Midnight Spirit Grass!" Luo Chen was delighted, and he carefully pulled the spirit grass up by the roots and put it into the medicine bag he carried with him.

Just as he was about to leave, a strange sound suddenly came from the valley.

Luo Chen vigilantly clenched the sword in his hand and looked around.

"Who is it?" Luo Chen shouted loudly, but the only response to him was the echo in the valley.

Suddenly, a black shadow rushed out from the darkness and rushed straight towards Luo Chen.

Luo Chen reacted quickly and swung his sword to meet it. The black shadow rolled in the air, avoiding Luo Chen's attack, and then landed not far away.

Luo Chen looked closely and found that the shadow was actually a huge black cat, its eyes flashing green light in the darkness.

"Black shadow cat?" Luo Chen was shocked. He knew that this kind of spirit beast was famous for its speed and agility and was very difficult to deal with.

The black shadow cat let out a low roar and attacked Luo Chen again.

Luo Chen did not dare to be careless. He concentrated his mind and prepared for this sudden battle.

A man and a beast had a fierce duel in the valley.

Although Luo Chen's swordsmanship was sharp, the black shadow cat was too fast. It could always avoid Luo Chen's attack at the critical moment.

The battle lasted for several rounds, and Luo Chen gradually felt exhausted.

He knew that this was not a solution and he had to end the battle as soon as possible.

At this moment, Luo Chen suddenly thought of a plan.

He pretended to reveal a flaw to lure the black shadow cat into being fooled.

The black shadow cat really fell into the trap. It pounced on Luo Chen, but he did not expect that Luo Chen had already prepared a counterattack.

Luo Chen turned his body, avoided the attack of the black shadow cat, and then stabbed it in the abdomen with a sword.

The black shadow cat let out a shrill cry, then fell to the ground and stopped moving.

Luo Chen breathed a sigh of relief, he knew he had won the battle.

He didn't have time to stay, and quickly left the valley, ready to return to the alliance with the midnight spirit grass.

Along the way, it was calm.

Just when Luo Chen thought that he would return to the alliance in such a peaceful way.

In the distance, there were sudden footsteps.

Not long after, a man in red came to Luo Chen with a large group of practitioners.

"Boy, I didn't expect to meet you again."

"Where is the blood-horned deer?"

"Where did you put it?"

"As long as you tell me the information about the blood-horned deer, I can let you go..."

Luo Chen looked at the man in red vigilantly, holding the sword in his hand tightly, ready to deal with any possible battle at any time.

He knew that these people were coming for the blood-horned deer, and he would never let them succeed.

"The blood-horned deer have been safely sent to the alliance. Don't even think about targeting them." Luo Chen replied coldly, his eyes were firm, and he didn't flinch at all.

The red-clothed man's face darkened when he heard this. He didn't expect Luo Chen to be so determined.

He waved his hand, signaling his men to surround Luo Chen.

"Do you think you can stop us like this? Boy, you are too naive." The red-clothed man said sarcastically.

Luo Chen looked around, and he knew he had to stay calm.

The red-clothed man waved his hand and summoned three small spirit swords directly from the storage ring.

The spirit swords could float in the air and be controlled by him.

Before, he couldn't beat the kid in front of him, so it was fine.

This time, with the blessing of three spirit swords.

This kid will definitely die.

Luo Chen looked at the three spirit swords, and he knew in his heart that this opponent was more difficult than before.

He took a deep breath, adjusted his state, and prepared for a more severe challenge.

The red-clothed man sneered, and he controlled the spirit sword to draw a series of sharp trajectories in the air, attacking Luo Chen.

Luo Chen dodged flexibly, while looking for opportunities to counterattack. He knew that if he was hit by these spirit swords, the consequences would be disastrous.

During the battle, Luo Chen found that although the red-clothed man could control the spirit swords, it seemed that his control over them was not perfect.

He decided to take advantage of this and began to try to use sword skills to guide the attack direction of the spirit swords and make them collide with each other.

Seeing this, the red-clothed man's face became more gloomy.

He realized that Luo Chen's sword skills and combat wisdom far exceeded his expectations.

He began to control the spirit sword more attentively, trying to break through Luo Chen's defense.

Luo Chen gradually found the rhythm in dodging and counterattacks. He used his speed and agility to cleverly shuttle between the attacks of the spirit swords, looking for opportunities to counterattack.

Finally, at the moment when the spirit swords collided with each other, Luo Chen saw the opportunity and stabbed the red-clothed man with a sword.

The man in red was shocked and hurriedly retreated, but he was still a step too slow. Luo Chen's sword tip scraped his arm, leaving a blood mark.

The man in red frowned in pain, but he did not give up, but became even more angry.

"You kid, you are really infuriating!" The man in red roared, and controlled the spirit sword to attack Luo Chen again.

This time, he no longer held back and went all out.

Luo Chen knew that the battle had reached a critical moment.

He concentrated all his energy, exerted his sword skills to the extreme, and started a life-and-death contest with the man in red.

In the valley, the sword energy was crisscrossed, and the collision of spirit swords and long swords was endless.

Finally, after a clever sword move, Luo Chen successfully knocked down all three spirit swords of the man in red.

The man in red looked at his spirit swords scattered on the ground in shock, and he knew he had lost.

"You win, kid." The man in red gritted his teeth and said, then retreated quickly with his men and disappeared into the night.

Luo Chen looked at their departing backs and breathed a long sigh of relief, and the tension in his heart gradually dissipated.

He lowered his head to check his injuries. Although there were some superficial injuries, they were not serious.

He put the sword back into the sheath and continued to move towards the direction of the alliance.

The night was getting darker and darker, and the cold air in the valley began to invade Luo Chen's body.

He quickened his pace, hoping to return to the alliance as soon as possible, hand over the midnight spirit grass to the veterinarian, and treat the weak blood-horned deer.

Finally, in the first ray of dawn, Luo Chen saw the flag of the alliance.

He quickened his pace, his heart full of expectation and relief.

When he walked into the territory of the alliance, Qingshuang was already there waiting anxiously.

"Luo Chen, you are finally back!" Qingshuang saw Luo Chen's figure and hurried to meet him.

Luo Chen smiled and nodded, took out the Midnight Spiritual Grass from the medicine bag and handed it to Qingshuang, "I found it, this should be able to help the blood-horned deer."

Qingshuang took the spiritual grass, her eyes full of gratitude, "It should still be in time."

Luo Chen gently patted Qingshuang's shoulder, "Okay, then hurry up."

Qingshuang nodded, and then the two walked to the veterinarian's place together.

The veterinarian saw the Midnight Spiritual Grass and smiled with relief, "With this, the blood-horned deer should be able to recover soon."

Luo Chen and Qingshuang watched the veterinarian busy processing the spiritual grass, and they were relieved.

In the next few days, Luo Chen and Qingshuang stayed in the alliance to help take care of the blood-horned deer.

The weak blood-horned deer really recovered quickly with the help of the Midnight Spiritual Grass.

As the blood-horned deer recovered, the atmosphere of the alliance became relaxed.

Luo Chen and Qingshuang were praised and thanked by the alliance members. They knew that the success of this mission was not only because of their efforts, but also because of the unity and trust of the alliance.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang spent a few peaceful days in the alliance. They helped the alliance deal with some daily affairs and exchanged experiences with other members.

During this time, they also got enough rest and recovered from the fatigue of the journey.

Finally, when the blood-horned deer fully recovered, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang also planned to leave the alliance and go out to experience again.

Since he was going out to experience, Luo Chen naturally planned to take on a mission.

Isn't it a good thing to be able to complete the mission while experiencing it?

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were in the square of the alliance, looking at the familiar land, their hearts full of emotion.

They knew that every departure could be a new beginning or an unknown challenge.

"Luo Chen, what mission are you going to take?" Qing Shuang asked curiously.

Luo Chen pondered for a moment, then took out a mission scroll from his arms, "I heard that there is a spirit beast called 'Ice Spirit Fox' on the northern ice field. Their fur can be used to make clothes to resist the severe cold, which is very helpful for the warriors of the alliance."

Qing Shuang nodded, "It sounds like a good mission, and I have always wanted to see the ice field."

"That's it." Luo Chen smiled and put away the mission scroll, "Let's prepare first, go to the market to buy some things to keep warm, and then we can set off."

The two then went to the alliance's market, which is the center of various material transactions.

They bought heavy fur coats, warm boots, gloves, as well as some dry food and medicine.

Luo Chen also paid special attention to buying some tools for making traps in order to catch the ice spirit fox on the ice field.

After getting ready, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang set out on a journey to the northern ice field.

It took them about half a month to finally arrive at a vast land covered with ice and snow.

The cold wind on the ice field was biting, but Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were wearing heavy clothes to resist the severe cold.

"The wind and snow here are really strong, we have to be careful." Luo Chen reminded.

Qing Shuang nodded, her eyes flashing with excitement, "Luo Chen, look over there, is that the trace of the ice fox?"

Luo Chen looked in the direction Qing Shuang pointed, and saw a string of small footprints on the snow in the distance.

They followed the footprints carefully, fearing that they would disturb the target.

After a period of tracking, they finally found an ice fox.

The fox was covered with silver-white fur, and its eyes were like two bright sapphires, which were particularly conspicuous in the snow.

"Be careful, don't let it run away." Luo Chen whispered.

Qingshuang nodded, took out a prepared trap from her waist, and then carefully set it on the path that the spirit fox must pass.

Luochen covered on the side to prevent the spirit fox from noticing their presence.

After everything was ready, Qingshuang gently patted Luochen on the shoulder, indicating that he could act.

Luochen walked out of his hiding place and deliberately made some noise. The ice spirit fox was startled and immediately fled in the direction of the trap set by Qingshuang.

Just as the spirit fox was about to step into the trap, Qingshuang quickly tightened the rope of the trap.

The spirit fox was tripped by the sudden rope, struggled a few times, and was firmly trapped in place.
