Chapter 818 Secret Realm, Flame Valley!

"We also need to remind the Alliance that the edges of the ice sheet may no longer be safe and require increased patrols and exploration."

Luochen stood up, patted the dust on his body, and looked firmly into the distance.

"Let's go, Qingshuang, we still have a lot to do after returning to the alliance."

Qingshuang also stood up, her eyes shining with determination.

"Let's go."

The two gathered their spirits and embarked on the road back to the alliance.

After leaving the ice field, the subsequent road became much easier.

After all, there is no danger outside like the ice field.

And after the two of them rushed on the road for several days.

They finally returned to the alliance's headquarters.

It was already evening when Luochen and Qingshuang returned to the alliance station.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on their tired faces, covering them with a golden glow.

The Union flag fluttered in the breeze, looking particularly solemn.

They walked into the alliance's gate and immediately felt a long-lost sense of belonging.

The members of the alliance are busy, some are sweating profusely at the training ground, and some are exchanging mission experiences.

The arrival of Luo Chen and Qing Shuang quickly attracted everyone's attention.

"Luochen, Qingshuang, you are finally back!" A familiar voice sounded, it was their old friend and a practitioner of the alliance named Tiesen.

He walked quickly with a delighted smile on his face.

"Tiesen, long time no see." Luo Chen responded with a smile, and Qing Shuang nodded. Their mood became much lighter because of their reunion.

"How was your mission this time? I heard that the situation on the ice sheet is very complicated." Tiesen asked with concern.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at each other and decided to go see the elders of the alliance first to report on the mission and the new discoveries on the ice field.

"Let's go see the elders first. There are some important things that need to be reported." Luo Chen said.

"Okay, the elders are all in the meeting hall. I will take you there." Tiesen said and led them towards the meeting hall.

In the meeting hall, several elders of the alliance were sitting around a long table, discussing the affairs of the alliance.

Seeing Luo Chen and Qing Shuang, they all stopped their discussion and turned their attention to the two young people who had just returned from the ice field.

"Luochen, Qingshuang, you are back. Tell us quickly, how is the situation in the ice field?" a white-haired elder asked.

Luochen and Qingshuang told in detail their experiences on the ice field and their encounter with the bloody giant wolf.

After hearing this, the elders' faces became serious.

"The bloody giant wolf? This is a serious problem. It seems that the situation on the ice field is more complicated than we imagined." Another elder said in a deep voice.

"Yes, elder, we suggest that the alliance strengthen patrols and exploration of the edge of the ice sheet, and at the same time conduct more in-depth research on the bloody giant wolf." Luo Chen said seriously.

The elders nodded in agreement.

They then began discussing how to deal with this emerging threat and developed a series of plans.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang stayed in the meeting hall for a long time. They were not able to leave until all matters were discussed.

"Luochen, Qingshuang, you have worked hard, and the Alliance will remember your contribution." An elder said sincerely before they left.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang responded with smiles and then left the meeting hall.

Back at their residence, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang could finally relax.

They simply organized their belongings and then went back to their rooms to rest.

The next day, Luochen and Qingshuang were summoned by the alliance to participate in an emergency meeting.

At the meeting, the alliance decided to set up a special team responsible for investigating new situations on the ice sheet and fighting against the possible threat of the bloody giant wolf.

The alliance actually wants Luo Chen and Qing Shuang to continue investigating the situation on the ice field.

However, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang chose to refuse.

The main reason is that they have just returned from the ice field and are well aware of the dangers there.

A place like that was not something they could investigate in depth.

Besides, I just came back and didn’t get much rest.

How can we continue to go out?

Luochen and Qingshuang returned to their residences after the emergency meeting.

They were sitting at a simple wooden table, with two cups of freshly brewed hot tea on the table, exuding a faint aroma.

Luo Chen blew the tea gently, then took a sip, feeling the warmth flowing through his body.

"Qingshuang, I heard that a secret realm will be opened in a month. Do we want to go and have a look?"

Luo Chen put down the tea cup and looked at Qing Shuang seriously.

Qingshuang smiled slightly, a trace of expectation flashed in her eyes.

"The secret realm sounds interesting, but we have to take a break first to recover our strength. After all, the experience on the ice field has made us exhausted." She gently turned the teacup in her hand, seeming to be thinking about something.

Luo Chen nodded, expressing understanding.

"Yes, we do need to rest, but the opening of a secret realm is always accompanied by opportunities and challenges. We can't miss it." There was a light of adventure in his eyes.

Qingshuang put down the teacup with a firm gaze.

"Then let's rest for a few days and then start preparations. After all, exploring the secret realm requires sufficient preparation and planning."

Luochen smiled with satisfaction.

"Okay, that's it. Let's recharge our batteries first, and then make a careful plan to ensure that we can be safe and gain something in the secret realm."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and then continued to drink the hot tea in their hands.

In the blink of an eye, it was a few days later.

Although it will take more than twenty days for the secret realm to be opened.

However, this does not prevent Luo Chen and Qing Shuang from making some preparations for the opening of the secret realm.

"How to say?"

"Go to the nearby market first?"

"Buy something?"

Qingshuang smiled and said: "Okay, let's go to Fangshi and have a look. There seem to be many Fangshi where immortal cultivators gather near the alliance."

Luochen and Qingshuang decided to go to Fangshi near the alliance, hoping to find some items that would help them explore the secret realm.

They passed through the stone arch of the Union garrison and followed a cobblestone path toward the city.

Along the way, they talked about items and strategies they might need.

"Qingshuang, which items do you think we should prioritize?" Luo Chen asked, his eyes lingering on the surrounding scenery, but his mind was on the upcoming exploration of the secret realm.

Qingshuang thought for a moment and then replied: "First of all, we need some potions that can resist poisonous gas. There are often unknown dangers in the secret realm. Secondly, some magic weapons that can enhance perception are also essential, so that we can detect potential threats in advance. ”

Luo Chen nodded in agreement and continued: "Also, we have to prepare some pills to restore spiritual power in case of emergencies. After all, the recovery of spiritual power in the secret realm may not be as convenient as in the outside world."

"Yes, there are also defensive magic weapons," Qingshuang added. "If we encounter a sudden attack, it can at least buy us some reaction time."

While the two were discussing, they walked into the bustling market.

Both sides of the street are lined with stalls of all kinds, selling everything from magical herbs and elixirs to magic weapons.

Luochen and Qingshuang began to shuttle between the stalls, carefully selecting things they thought were useful.

Luochen stopped in front of an old-looking shop.

The signboard of the shop reads "Lingbaozhai", and a variety of magical instruments are displayed inside.

Luochen's eyes were attracted by a bronze amulet. He picked up the amulet and looked carefully, and found that it was engraved with complex runes.

"Boss, what's so special about this amulet?" Luo Chen asked the owner of the shop.

The error-free version is being read! 6=9+Book_Bar debuts this novel.

The shop owner is a middle-aged man. He replied with a smile: "This amulet is called the 'Spiritual Wind Amulet'. When the wearer is attacked, it can automatically form a layer of wind shield to resist most physical damage."

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at each other and saw the interest in each other's eyes.

Luochen asked about the price and found that although it was expensive, considering the practicality of the amulet, it was still worth buying.

They decided to buy the amulet.

Then, they picked out some necessities at other stalls, including spiritual recovery elixirs and poison gas resistance potions.

After some haggling, they gained a lot.

And just when Luochen was about to leave, he was suddenly attracted by a blood-red dagger on a stall.

This dagger does not seem to be an extraordinary thing.

There was a faint and strong smell of blood on it.

Luo Chen stepped forward and carefully observed the blood-red dagger.

The blade of the dagger is extremely sharp and seems to be able to cut anything, while its handle is inlaid with several unknown gems, emitting a faint light.

"Boss, where did this dagger come from?" Luo Chen asked the stall owner, an old man who looked a little slovenly.

The old man raised his head, with a hint of shrewdness in his eyes: "This dagger is called the 'Blood Blade'. It is made of an extremely rare blood crystal. It has powerful armor-breaking capabilities and can even defeat some defensive methods." instrument causing damage.”

Qingshuang also came closer. She was also curious about the dagger: "In addition to breaking armor, does this dagger have any other special abilities?"

The old man nodded: "After absorbing enough blood, this dagger can release powerful blood evil energy, forming a blood evil field and causing mental suppression to the enemy."

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at each other and saw the hesitation in the other's eyes.

Although this dagger is powerful, the blood evil aura it exudes makes people feel uneasy.

"What's the price of this dagger?" Luo Chen finally decided to ask the price.

The old man held out five fingers and quoted a high price.

Although Luo Chen and Qing Shuang thought the price was a bit high, they decided to buy it considering the dagger's special abilities.

After the transaction was completed, Luo Chen carefully put the Blood Blade into his storage bag.

The two continued to search in the city until sunset, when they returned to the alliance station with a full harvest.

Back at their residence, Luochen and Qingshuang began to sort out their newly purchased items.

They wore the Spiritual Wind Amulet on their bodies and put the spiritual power recovery elixir and poison gas resistance potion into their respective storage bags.

Luo Chen placed the blood evil blade alone. He decided to study the usage and potential risks of this dagger before exploring the secret realm.

In the following time, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were preparing for the exploration of the secret realm.

They researched various possible situations and developed strategies to deal with them.

At the same time, they did not forget to rest and practice to ensure that they could maintain their best condition in the secret realm.

Finally, the day came when the secret realm was opened.

Luochen and Qingshuang were ready to go, with both anticipation and nervousness in their hearts.

They know that the secret realm is full of unknowns and dangers, but it also contains countless opportunities.

On the way to the secret realm, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang met some other immortal cultivators, either alone or in groups.

Everyone has different expressions on their faces, some are excited, some are wary.

"Luochen, look over there. That team seems to be well-equipped and not weak in strength." Qing Shuang whispered, and she pointed to a group of immortal cultivators in front of her.

Luo Chen nodded: "We must also be careful. There may be competition or even conflict in the secret realm."

The two continued to move forward, and soon they arrived at the entrance to the secret realm.

It was a huge stone door covered with ancient runes, emitting a faint light.

"Are you ready?" Luo Chen turned to look at Qingshuang.

Qingshuang took a deep breath, then nodded firmly: "Ready."

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang walked into the stone door side by side. A burst of light flashed and they disappeared at the entrance of the secret realm.

This secret place is called Valley of Fire.

The Valley of Fire, as its name suggests, is a mysterious place covered in raging fire.

As soon as Luo Chen and Qing Shuang stepped into this land, they felt the heat wave hitting their faces.

The surrounding scene is like purgatory, with red rocks and constantly erupting craters forming a world full of dangers and opportunities.

"The fire element here is extremely active. We have to be careful not to let our spiritual power be interfered by the fire element here." Luo Chen reminded, his eyes were scanning around, trying to find a safe path.

Qingshuang nodded. She had taken out a light blue crystal stone from her storage bag and began to absorb the surrounding water elements to balance the fire elements in her body.

"I feel that the fire element here is indeed very powerful, but it also seems to contain some kind of pure power."

The two of them moved forward cautiously. The creatures in the Valley of Fire seemed to be affected by the fire element and became extremely ferocious.

They had to remain vigilant at all times to avoid being attacked by fire beasts that suddenly appeared.

"Luochen, look over there!" Qingshuang suddenly pointed to a cave not far away, where there seemed to be unusual movement.

Luo Chen looked in the direction pointed by Qingshuang and saw a dark red light shining at the entrance of the cave.

"What is that? Is it some kind of treasure?"

The two looked at each other and decided to go investigate.

They approached the cave cautiously, and Luo Chen pulled out the newly purchased Blood Demon Blade just in case something unexpected happened.

Qingshuang is holding her staff tightly, ready to cast defensive spells at any time.

As they approached the cave, a wave of heat hit their faces, and there seemed to be some mysterious power calling them deep in the cave. (End of chapter)
