Chapter 1421 - Exit Passage!
After two hours, Jiang Chen crossed more than half of the ancient ruins, and ended up in the forest where he had found the Lightning Essence at the beginning.
Xiao Ying detected something and lightning came out of his body and flashed ferociously at the forest. Divine lightning was the bane of evil, and Xiao Ying, who was a Lightning Spirit, hated all evil beings such as the Mutant Ghosts in the forest.
“Don’t be nervous!”
Jiang Chen comforted Xiao Ying, while wearing a grave expression. He had come to this forest to practice with his sword, and his targets would be the Mutant Ghosts.
Last time, he didn’t have any idea about the Mutant Ghosts, and he ended up suffering three heavy blows. He had almost died.
But now that he had comprehended the Swiftness Concept, he wanted to have a look at the difference that would make in his encounter with the Mutant Ghosts.
After Jiang Chen had made up his mind, he landed atop a mountain’s peak and walked down it slowly.
Jiang Chen still felt a lingering fear. There had been so many Mutant Ghosts, and if even one had succeeded in touching him, he would have died there.
However, as Jiang Chen looked at the cauldron’s handle, he still revealed a satisfied smile. The bronze cauldron was the Realm Spirit, and, if the Great Realm was damaged, the Realm Spirit would also be affected and harmed.
Moreover, once the damages surpassed the Sword Spirit’s upper bearing limit, it would disintegrate, and the Realm would end up in the same state as the current Xuanhuan Realm.
The fragments of the Realm Spirit would become like dead objects for a long time, and they would end up scattered in all regions. The Realm Spirit’s fragments would need a long time to recover and turn into the same state as the one seen by Jiang Chen currently.
However, even if the Realm Spirit recovered, its fragments wouldn’t gather and assemble together by themselves, and someone must collect and gather them.
In ancient times, Jiang Chen had taken an oath that he would make the Xuanhuan Realm recover, and he would shortly finish fulfilling this objective.
“Well?” Jiang Chen detected something suddenly, and he raised his head.
Everyone in the Ancient Ruins that was still alive detected something. The exit passage would appear shortly, which meant that the training trip that had lasted for a whole month would shortly come to an end, and they all must leave regardless of whether they made some gains or not.
When it came to whoever had made the greatest gains, then it would be probably none other than Jiang Chen.
The passage wouldn’t appear in all corners of the Ancient Ruins, and this was why they must gather in three different locations just like when they entered.
Meanwhile, in another region, a team escaped into the air, and it cut a sorry figure. There were two second-grade magical beasts behind them, and they chased them relentlessly. It was only after the group flew into the air that the magical beasts gave up.
“Hateful!”
This group had both women and men, and their power was lower than the three ranks level. If this hadn’t been the case, they wouldn’t have ended up in such a sorry state just because they were hunted down by magical beasts.
“Xia Houjie, it’s all due to you. You have harmed us, and all our efforts were wasted due to you.”
All of a sudden, a woman clad in scarlet clothes reproached one of her teammates.
“Why is it me? It’s obviously you…”
Xia Houjie retorted without giving this matter a single thought. When they were taking action a while ago, it was the woman who had tried to show off and ended up alerting the enemy inadvertently.
“Brother Xia Houjie.”
The people next to Xia Houjie obstructed him and didn’t let him argue.
“You should cool your temper, she isn’t someone to be trifled with,” someone spoke through using a sound transmission.
Xia Houjie sneered. He could only bear this in silence.
“You are at a loss for words, aren’t you? Your power is the weakest among us, and we can’t blame anyone other than you,” the red-clothed woman spoke complacently, as if she had just gotten a victory.
“That is right, that is right,” Xia Houjie said resentfully.
“Humph, you aren’t willing to accept it, are you? But I will forgive you since you don’t dare to do anything. But now, listen to me. After a while, you should act as bait, while we set up a trap,” the red-clothed woman acted assertively once again.
“Even though demonic beasts aren’t monsters, they still have high intelligence,” Xia Houjie spoke angrily.
