Chapter 494
“Boom!”
Although he discovered that the super river monster was already dead, Xiao Chen’s sword had already been slashed out. Forcefully withdrawing it would result in a backlash from the Power of Desolates. Hence, the wooden sword eventually struck the super river monster’s corpse. Although the super river monster’s corpse was hard, it could not withstand Xiao Chen’s full force strike. It immediately split open and exploded.
“Ao!”
Xiao Chen, who was gradually losing his rationality, let out a beastly roar. He ignored the corpse and crazily swam towards the red light in the distance.
Xiao Chen was in danger!
The strange energy’s influence grew stronger. Xiao Chen momentarily lost his composure, allowing the strange energy to take advantage of it. Now, the strange energy was controlling Xiao Chen’s consciousness, causing Xiao Chen’s state to become extremely violent, crazy, and bloodthirsty. Xiao Chen’s consciousness was firm and did not give in. At this moment, he was struggling tenaciously, hoping to regain control of his body.
As he got closer to the blood-colored blob of light, the blob of light grew larger. The underground river was also illuminated by the blood-colored blob of light. It was as though a huge river of blood was flowing deep underground. It was extremely strange and terrifying.
“Roar!”
At this moment, the angry roar of The Lion King came from the direction of the blob of light. From the sound of it, it was Da Huang!
Da Huang was not dead!
However, from how angry Da Huang’s roar was, it was obvious that it had encountered something powerful or terrifying.
“Da Huang!”
Xiao Chen, who was fighting for control of his body with the strange energy, heard Da Huang’s angry roar. It was as though he had received a huge stimulation. He instantly regained control of his body and forcefully expelled the strange energy from his mind.
“Oh?
Is everything alright? ”
Xiao Chen was very surprised that he could regain control of his body. This was because the strange energy was too powerful and terrifying. At that moment, he nearly lost his nature and completely became a murderous demon.
“Da Huang!
I’m here to save you! ”
Xiao Chen didn’t have time to think about the condition of his body. Knowing that Big Yellow was still alive and in great danger, Xiao Chen was extremely anxious. He madly rushed to the brightest spot in front of him. Big Yellow had to be there, that was for sure. The fact that a blood-red light could appear in the underground river hundreds of meters below the surface, such a strange thing was enough to explain everything.
Xiao Chen had an intuition that the bloody light must have been emitted by some terrifying creature or something else. Otherwise, even the powerful Da Huang would be so fearful and even roar in fear.
Boom!
Suddenly, there was a huge explosion in front of him. The sound of the explosion quickly traveled through the underground river to Xiao Chen’s ears, almost deafening Xiao Chen. At the same time, Xiao Chen could feel the underground river shaking violently. Obviously, the explosion was very powerful.
“Ah?
Could it be that Da Huang launched a desolate energy bomb attack? Is the enemy so powerful? ”
Xiao Chen shook his dizzy head. He was shocked and puzzled. He quickly went against the current, hoping to reach his destination as soon as possible to see what terrible thing had happened.
As he got closer and closer to the blood-red orb, Xiao Chen realized that the blood-red orb he had seen before was actually an illusion created by the reflection of a huge, smooth stone wall. As for the blood-red orb, it came from a natural underground cave on the other side of the underground river.
“Ah!
Headache!
Bloody light!
The problem lies in the bloody light!
That strange energy is formed by the bloody light fusing into the water! ”
When Xiao Chen was shot by the bloody light, Xiao Chen’s head, which had just felt a little better, became chaotic again. He felt like his head was being pricked by needles. He immediately held his head with both hands and cried out in pain.
“Roar!”
The roar of The Lion King came from the cave. There was even a sense of sadness in it. Obviously, The Lion King could not deal with the unknown existence in the cave.
“Da Huang!
Big Brother is coming! ”
Xiao Chen leaped onto the stone bank of the underground river with all his might. He clenched his teeth and walked quickly against the enormous pressure. There was a ten-meter-tall and fifteen-meter-wide stone door about a thousand feet away from him. The blood-red light was reflected from the stone door.
The entrance of the cave was completely red, as if a primitive blood demon was waiting for Xiao Chen to enter with its bloody mouth wide open. It looked so terrifying that no one dared to enter recklessly.
Although Xiao Chen was shocked, he still walked toward the entrance of the cave with determination.
Xiao Chen found that the ground he was walking on was made of black stones. The stone cave in front of him was also made of black stones. It was very majestic. If the outside was so grand, then the inside of the stone door must be even more grand, right?
A distance of 100 feet, with Xiao Chen’s usual speed, would only take a dozen breaths of time. But now, he estimated that it would take half an incense stick of time. This was because the red light not only affected his consciousness, but also gave him a huge pressure. It was as if there was a peerless beast inside the cave that was countless times more powerful than The Lion King.
“Hu!”
After the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn, Xiao Chen reached the stone door with great difficulty. He leaned on the stone wall with one hand and took a deep breath. Cold sweat dripped down from his forehead. His mind was a mess, and his heart was restless. Endless killing intent poured out from his body. Xiao Chen was showing signs of being possessed.
“Get in!” Xiao Chen roared, and rushed through the stone door with all his might.
“What a huge stone cave!”
After entering the stone door, Xiao Chen’s eyes suddenly widened. The huge stone cave in front of him shocked Xiao Chen. This was clearly a natural cave. The cave’s ceiling was in the shape of an inverted bowl. The highest point was nearly a thousand feet high. The ground of the stone cave was very open, with only a few large stones.
Such a huge stone cave was filled with a blood-red light. It was beautiful, but it had a bloody smell of death. The place where the red light was the brightest was in the middle of the stone cave. In the middle of the stone cave was a huge stone platform. On the stone platform, there was a huge blood-red sword.
The blood-red sword’s exterior was fiery red. The sword’s guard was in the shape of a flame. The sword’s body was long and thick. The sword’s center was slightly bluish-purple. The entire body was like a burning flame, but it did not lose its sharpness.
“What a peerless sword!”
When Xiao Chen first saw the blood-red sword, he could not help but sigh. He was extremely shocked. He had an intuition that the blood-red sword was not a Desolate Sword, but a legendary spiritual sword or divine sword. As the Desolate Sword did not channel the Power of Desolates, its shape was similar to an ordinary sword.
Now, the sword was only inserted into the stone platform. A third of it was submerged in the stone platform. No one had channeled the Power of Desolates, but it gave off an extremely oppressive feeling. Furthermore, it could emit a strange and terrifying blood-red light that affected one’s mind. It was truly shocking.
If not for Xiao Chen seeing it with his own eyes, he would not have believed that there would be such a peerless sword in this world. Furthermore, it was buried deep underground and hidden in such a secret stone cave.
“Ah …”
Xiao Chen’s gaze was completely attracted by the blood-red sword.
The blood-red sword seemed to have some sort of magical power. It would make anyone who saw it be captivated by it and sink into it. Eventually, they would become its sword slave, muddling through a life of crazy killing. It would be a very sad thing.
“Roar!”
Just as Xiao Chen was about to completely become a sword slave, the Lion King’s deafening roar came from behind the stone platform. The Lion King, Da Huang, was naturally affected by the blood-red sword. At this moment, he was not much better than Xiao Chen. In fact, he was even more pathetic.
Although he was many times stronger than Xiao Chen, he was much closer to the blood-red sword than Xiao Chen. Besides, he had been in the stone cave for more than two hours, so he was naturally greatly affected by the blood-red sword.
