Immortality Cultivation: I Can increase My Stats Using Clansmen's Qi-Blood
Chapter 1459: Chapter 717: Leave? No, can’t leave!
The battle became unusually intense. Although the black-clad figures were numerous.
Under Luo Chen and Qing Shuang’s tacit coordination, they gradually gained the upper hand.
However, the presence of the giant tortoise was always a massive stone weighing on their hearts.
Its enormous body and powerful aura made Luo Chen and Qing Shuang dare not be careless.
Just as they were about to defeat all the black-clad figures, the giant tortoise suddenly moved.
Its giant feet stepped into the swampy mud, each step making the earth tremble.
The giant tortoise’s target was directly Luo Chen and Qing Shuang.
It seemed to have already regarded them as the greatest threat. "Watch out!" Qing Shuang shouted.
Quickly casting a defensive spell to form an ice wall to block the tortoise’s advance.
Luo Chen gathered strength behind the ice wall, preparing to launch a powerful attack.
He took a deep breath, mobilizing all the power within him.
A dazzling light gathered at the tip of his sword. As the giant tortoise crashed into the ice wall.
Luo Chen’s sword also pierced forth with thunderous momentum.
The sword light collided with the giant tortoise’s blood-red shell, producing a roar.
The ice wall shattered instantly under the impact, but his sword left a deep wound.
The giant tortoise let out a painful roar, a trace of anger flashed in its eyes. ...
It turned around and launched another attack on Luo Chen and Qing Shuang.
This time, it did not just charge but spewed blood-red flames from its mouth.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang weaved through the flames, utilizing terrain as cover.
To evade the tortoise’s attacks. However, they realized without weakness, they’d be defeated.
Just then, Qing Shuang recalled what the old man said about the Heart of Swamp.
She guessed that this tortoise might be the embodiment of the Heart of Swamp.
And what those black-clad figures were trying to awaken was this power.
Luo Chen, we must find the tortoise’s heart! Qing Shuang shouted loudly.
Luo Chen nodded, knowing it was their only hope. They began trying to maneuver.
Behind the tortoise, searching for the best opportunity to strike.
In a moment dodging the tortoise’s flames, they finally saw a special mark.
On the tortoise’s back, seemingly where its heart was located.
They exchanged a glance, needing no words to understand reach other’s intent.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang launched their strongest attacks simultaneously.
Luo Chen’s sword and Qing Shuang’s spell both hit the tortoise’s heart.
The giant tortoise emitted an earth-shaking howl, its body began to tremble.
Slowly collapsing. The tremors ceased, and the black-clad figures scattered.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang stood by the corpse, having successfully averted disaster.
The swamp returned to its calm state as if nothing had ever happened.
They returned to the inn and immediately lay down on the bed. Exhaustion surged in.
So tired... Luo Chen and Qing Shuang lay on the soft bed, the exhaustion washed over.
Like a tide, almost drowning them. However, their thoughts could not find peace.
Every detail of the battle replayed endlessly in their minds. "We did it."
Qing Shuang’s voice was tinged with fatigue, but more with relief. ...
Luo Chen nodded, his gaze falling outside the window. Night had fallen.
Moonlight poured through, casting a silvery glow. "Yes, we did it."
He repeated the words, but there were more questions in his heart.
What exactly was the tortoise? What secrets did the Heart of Swamp conceal?
Qing Shuang perceived his thoughts and said, "Let’s ask the old man tomorrow."
Luo Chen nodded, knowing she was right. ... They needed more information.
To uncover the truth behind it all. The next morning, they were prepared to set off.
After quickly having breakfast, they hurriedly headed to the old man’s place.
The old man seemed to have anticipated their arrival; he sat in a rocking chair.
At the door with a faint smile. "You have arrived," his voice was calm and deep.
Luo Chen asked, "What was that giant tortoise? Relations to black-clad figures?"
The old man was silent, then slowly spoke, "The tortoise was the Guardian."
Guardian of the Heart of Swamp and one of the oldest existences on this land.
It was awakened by the figures to perform an ancient ritual. "A ritual?"
Qing Shuang inquired. "Yes, designed to awaken the evil force slumbers in depths."
The old man’s voice carried heaviness, "You stopped it and prevented a disaster."
What about the black-clad figures? Who are they? Luo Chen asked.
The old man sighed, "The black-clad figures are humans seduced by the evil force."
Seeking power by cooperating with dark entities. They will not easily give up, be cautious.
Qing Shuang and Luo Chen exchanged a look, understanding this battle is only the beginning.
