Chapter 632 New Discoveries and Potential Crisis

Chu Tian and others continued to patrol the Wuhun World. Their footsteps were like a gust of wind, blowing across mountains and rivers, exploring every corner that might hide secrets or dangers.

On this day, they came to a small village near the sea. The village looked peaceful and the villagers made a living by fishing and planting some crops unique to the seaside.

"It looks pretty good here, nothing unusual." Zhang Meng said carelessly, his eyes already fixed on the dried fish drying on the beach.

"You only know how to eat. We still need to check it carefully." Ye Li shook her head helplessly.

As they were looking around the village, Qin Feng discovered a strange phenomenon. The children in the village were playing a game in which they held some strangely shaped shells in their hands, which seemed to emit weak soul power fluctuations.

"Look at these shells, aren't they very strange?" Qin Feng took the shells in his hands and examined them carefully.

"This shell looks unusual. Could it have anything to do with martial spirit?" Chu Tian came over, also feeling very curious.

They found an elder in the village. The elder had white hair but his eyes were very bright.

"Elder, where do these shells come from?" Ye Li asked politely.

The elder smiled and said, "These shells were picked up from a mysterious cave on the seashore. The entrance to the cave can only be seen at low tide, and there are many shells like this inside."

"Then do you know what's special about this cave?" Chu Tian asked.

The elder shook his head and said, "We don't really know, we just think these shells are beautiful and the children like to play with them."

Chu Tian and his friends decided to go to the mysterious cave to find out. When the tide receded, they found a small cave entrance behind a reef on the seashore.

"This cave looks a bit eerie." A student shrank his neck.

"What are you afraid of? We are here." Zhang Meng patted his chest and walked into the cave first.

The cave was very damp, with mosses growing on the ground and walls. As they went deeper, the soul power fluctuations of the shell became stronger and stronger.

Suddenly, there was a slight sound of flowing water in the cave, as if something was swimming in the dark.

"Everyone be careful, there might be something." Qin Feng said vigilantly.

He gripped the Dragon Shadow Sword tightly, and the light of the Dragon Shadow Sword appeared particularly bright in the dim cave.

At this moment, a strange creature covered with spikes jumped out from the puddle next to it. This creature looked a bit like a fish, but its head was like a tumor with eyes all over it, and its mouth was big and full of sharp teeth.

"What kind of monster is this?" Zhang Meng shouted.

The monster ignored their surprise and rushed towards the student closest to it. The student stepped back in fear, but was still swept by the monster's tail and fell to the ground.

"Hmph, you dare to hurt people!" Qin Feng rushed forward, swung the Dragon Shadow Sword, and a soul blade flew towards the monster.

The monster twisted its body flexibly, avoiding the soul power blade, and then pounced on Qin Feng again.

Seeing this, Chu Tian gathered his thunder spirit power in his hands and struck the monster with a bolt of lightning. After the monster was struck by lightning, its body trembled slightly, but it was not seriously injured.

"This guy is quite thick-skinned." Chu Tian said with a frown.

Ye Li let the frost fox release cold air, trying to freeze the monster. The cold air spread in the cave, and the monster's speed slowed down significantly.

Zhang Meng took the opportunity to rush forward, possessed by the giant rock bear martial spirit, and slapped the monster with his huge bear paw. The monster was slapped into a puddle, splashing water.

However, the monster soon jumped out of the puddle again, and it seemed to become even more angry.

"It seems we have to change our tactics." Qin Feng said.

They began to cooperate with each other. Chu Tian and Qin Feng attracted the monster's attention, while Ye Li and Zhang Meng looked for the monster's weakness.

During one attack, Qin Feng discovered that the monster's abdomen seemed to be its weak point. Every time his Dragon Shadow Sword approached the monster's abdomen, the monster would appear very nervous.

"Everyone, attack its abdomen!" Qin Feng shouted.

After hearing Qin Feng's words, everyone attacked the monster's abdomen. After a hard fight, the monster was finally defeated.

"Huh, this monster is really hard to deal with." Zhang Meng said, panting.

They continued to walk deeper into the cave and found a huge soul power source. This soul power source was made up of many shells. The shells emitted strong soul power fluctuations, and seemed to be releasing some kind of signal to the surroundings.

"Why do these shells form a soul power source here?" Ye Li asked puzzledly.

They began to study the shells carefully. In the shell pile, they found an ancient stone slab. The stone slab was engraved with strange symbols and patterns.

"Ye Li, look at these symbols. Can you understand them?" Chu Tian asked.

Ye Li carefully studied the symbols on the stone slab. After a while, her expression became very solemn.

"These symbols record a terrible thing. These shells are an ancient seal that seals an evil force from the deep sea. If these shells are destroyed or moved in large quantities, the seal will loosen and the evil force will gradually be released." Ye Li said.

"Then, has the battle we just had with that monster affected the seal?" Qin Feng asked worriedly.

"It's possible. We have to find a way to strengthen the seal." Ye Li said.

However, they did not know how to strengthen the seal. Just when they were worried, the mysterious old man appeared again.

"Oh, are you in trouble again?" the old man said with a smile.

"Why are you here?" Chu Tian asked in surprise.

"As for me, I have been paying attention to the developments in the Wuhun World. When I saw you enter this cave, I knew there would be trouble, so I followed you." said the little old man.

"Then do you know how to strengthen this seal?" Ye Li asked anxiously.

The old man nodded: "I know some methods. But the process is not easy. It requires the collection of some special materials and strong soul support."

The old man told them that they needed to collect a kind of ore called "Sea Spirit Crystal", which grows on reefs in the deep sea and is very rare. They also needed to find a plant called "Stargrass", which only grows on cliffs by the sea and only emits special soul power on full moon nights.

"This is not easy. The Sea Spirit Crystal is in the deep sea, and we have to face the dangers of the deep sea. The Star Miscanthus is on the cliff, and it is also dangerous to pick it." Zhang Meng scratched his head and said.

"No matter how dangerous it is, we have to give it a try. If we let this evil force be released, the Wuhun world will be in crisis again." Qin Feng said firmly.

So, they split into two groups. Chu Tian and Qin Feng took a few students who were good at water to look for sea crystals, while Ye Li and Zhang Meng took other students to look for star grass.

Chu Tian and others came to the seaside and dived into the deep sea. The deep sea was dark, with huge water pressure and many dangerous soul beasts.

"Everyone be careful, the soul beasts here are not easy to deal with." Chu Tian reminded.

They were carefully searching for sea crystals in the deep sea. Suddenly, a huge octopus-shaped soul beast swam towards them. The tentacles of this octopus soul beast were very long and covered with suckers, each of which was shining with soul power.

"This big guy looks difficult to deal with." said a student.

The octopus soul beast waved its tentacles and attacked them. Chu Tian released the thunder soul power, trying to drive the octopus soul beast away, but the octopus soul beast did not seem to be afraid of the thunder soul power.

Qin Feng swung the Dragon Shadow Sword, and the blade cut through the sea water, producing a series of soul blades, which cut off several tentacles of the octopus soul beast. The octopus soul beast felt the pain and attacked them more frantically.

Just when they were in a stalemate with the octopus soul beast, they discovered a reef flashing with the light of sea spirit crystal.

"Look, the Sea Spirit Crystal is there!" a student shouted excitedly.

However, the octopus soul beast seemed to know their purpose. It used its body to block the sea spirit crystal and prevented them from getting close.

"This guy is quite smart. We have to find a way to lure it away." Chu Tian said.

They discussed a plan, where several students would attract the attention of the octopus soul beast, while Chu Tian and Qin Feng would take the opportunity to go around behind the octopus soul beast and get the sea spirit crystal.

The plan went smoothly, and Chu Tian and Qin Feng successfully obtained the Sea Spirit Crystal.

On the other side, Ye Li and Zhang Meng led the students to the cliff by the sea. The cliff was steep and dangerous, and star grass grew in the cracks of the cliff.

"This cliff is so high, how can we get down?" A student looked down at the cliff, feeling a little scared.

"We can use our soul power to slowly go down." Ye Li said.

They climbed down the cliff carefully. Suddenly, a strong wind blew and one of the students lost his grip and almost fell down.

"Be careful!" Zhang Meng reached out and grabbed the student's arm.

After finally reaching the place where the star grass grew, they were about to pick it when a group of eagle-type soul beasts flew towards them.

"These eagles look very fierce. We must protect the star grass." Ye Li said.

They started a battle in the air and on the cliff with the flying eagle-type soul beasts. The flying eagle-type soul beasts were very fast and they attacked the students with their sharp claws and mouths.

Ye Li let the Frost Fox release cold air to slow down the speed of the eagle-type soul beast, while Zhang Meng used the power of the Giant Rock Bear martial spirit to knock the approaching eagle-type soul beast away.

The students also used their own martial arts skills to protect the star grass.

After a hard fight, they finally succeeded in picking the stargrass.

After the two groups met up, they returned to the cave with sea crystals and star grass.

The old man saw that they had brought back the materials and nodded: "Very good, now we can start reinforcing the seal."

The old man instructed them to place the sea crystals and star grass around the shell in a certain order, and then everyone injected their own purifying soul power into it.

After some effort, the seal was finally reinforced.

"Phew, it was really thrilling. Fortunately, we discovered the problem in time." Zhang Meng breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yes, there are too many secrets in the spirit world. I don't know how many potential crises are waiting for us." Ye Li said with emotion.

Chu Tian looked at everyone and said seriously: "No matter how many crises there are, we must remain vigilant and protect the Wuhun World."

They left the cave and continued their inspection journey in the martial arts world. Every new discovery was like a double-edged sword, bringing new knowledge but also hiding unknown dangers. But they did not flinch, because they were the guardians of the martial arts world.
