Immortality Cultivation: I can use my clansmen’s energy and blood to add points.

They knew that there might be powerful monsters lurking here.

They quickly drew their swords and held them tightly in their hands, preparing for the upcoming battle.

As the roar got closer, a huge monster finally appeared in their sight.

It was a giant python with black scales all over its body and eyes as bright as torches.

Its body is as thick as a water tank and more than ten feet long.

It opened its bloody mouth, revealing its sharp fangs, and pounced towards the two men.

Luo Chen and Yun Tu flashed and dodged to the sides.

They swung their swords at the python's body at the same time, but the swords only created a string of sparks when they hit the python's scales, and could not cause any substantial damage to it.

The giant python was enraged. It twisted its body more frantically and launched a fierce attack on the two men.

Luo Chen and Yuntu dodged the giant python's attacks while looking for its flaws.

However, the giant python's defense was too strong, and their attacks were almost all blocked by its scales.

Just as the two were locked in a bitter fight, Yun Tu suddenly shouted, "Brother Luo Chen, attack its weak spot! I'll attract its attention!"

After saying that, Yuntu suddenly jumped up, and the long sword in his hand turned into a dazzling sword light, going straight to the giant python's eyes.

The giant python roared in pain, and its huge body twisted in an instant and pounced towards Yuntu.

Seeing this, Luo Chen felt relieved.

He seized the opportunity and flashed to the vital point of the giant python.

He took a deep breath, concentrated all his strength on the tip of the sword, and then thrust out with all his might.

"laugh!"

With a slight sound, the long sword accurately pierced the giant python's vital point.

The giant python's body stiffened for a moment, and then slowly fell to the ground.

Luo Chen and Yun Tu smiled at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.

They knew that although the battle was dangerous, they ultimately won thanks to the tacit cooperation between the two.

They walked over to the python's body and began to process their spoils.

They cut off the most precious parts of the giant python, the gallbladder and scales, and prepared to take them back to make medicine or weapons.

At the same time, they also cut off some of the python's meat and stored it as dry food.

After dealing with the giant python, the two continued on their way.

This mysterious forest is very large.

Luo Chen and Yuntu walked for an unknown amount of time.

Until it was evening.

Luo Chen and Yuntu then stopped and started a fire in a relatively safe open space.

Although, both of them are practitioners.

But I'm hungry, so I still have to eat something.

After all, they haven't reached the stage of fasting yet.

"Brother Yun."

Luo Chen sat by the fire, roasting the game he had just caught, and said to Yuntu, "The monsters we encountered along the way are getting stronger and stronger. It seems that there are many secrets hidden in the depths of this forest."

Yuntu nodded. He also held a skewer of sizzling game in his hand and looked at the fire with deep eyes. "Indeed, this forest is called Shadow Forest. It is one of the most dangerous places nearby."

"Legend has it that this place hides the remains of ancient monsters, as well as countless precious spiritual herbs and minerals."

"That's why it attracted countless practitioners to come and explore."

Luo Chen was moved when he heard this: "The remains of an ancient monster? Isn't it possible to find a powerful technique or treasure?"

Yuntu smiled slightly: "That being said, the danger is also huge. The ruins left by ancient monsters are often accompanied by powerful restrictions and guardian beasts. If you are not careful, you will die."

"Moreover, there are many unknown dangers lurking in the Shadow Forest. Even for practitioners like us, it is difficult to fully grasp them."

Luo Chen nodded. He knew well the difficulties and dangers of the path of cultivation.

But it is precisely this unknown and challenge that makes him more determined to move forward.

The two were silent for a while, continuing to enjoy this rare quiet moment.

The firelight reflected on their faces, making them look particularly warm and peaceful.

However, the good times did not last long. Just as the two were about to fall asleep, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly broke the silence of the night.

Luo Chen and Yun Tu immediately became alert. They stood up quickly, gripped their swords tightly, and looked vigilantly in the direction where the sound came from.

Several dark shadows emerged from the woods and quickly approached them.

When he looked closer, he realized that these black shadows were actually the men in black who had attacked Luo Chen before!

"Humph, it's you again!"

Luo Chen snorted coldly, a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

The leader of the men in black smiled coldly: "Luo Chen, you are really lucky to be alive until now, but you won't be so lucky this time!"

After saying that, he waved his hand, and the men in black behind him drew their weapons and rushed towards Luo Chen and Yun Tu.

Luo Chen and Yuntu looked at each other, and a hint of determination flashed in their eyes.

They knew that this battle was inevitable.

Then, the two of them jumped up at the same time, transformed into two streams of light, and fought fiercely with the man in black.

In the night, swords flashed and fists whistled.

The two sides go back and forth, and the fight is inextricable.

However, the men in black were numerous and worked in perfect harmony, and soon forced Luo Chen and Yun Tu to retreat.

Luo Chen was anxious, he knew very well that this was not a solution.

We must find a way to break the deadlock!

Just then, he caught a glimpse of a fire nearby.

The flames in the fire were burning fiercely, emitting a blazing glow.

Luo Chen's mind moved and he came up with an idea.

He suddenly jumped up and slashed at the nearest man in black with his sword.

At the same time, he shouted: "Brother Yuntu, give me a hand!"

Yuntu immediately understood what he meant when he heard it.

He flashed and came to Luo Chen's side. The two of them simultaneously used all their strength to insert their swords into the fire.

Suddenly, a blazing flame gushed out from the sword and transformed into two fire dragons, pouncing towards the man in black.

The men in black were horrified when they saw this. They didn't expect Luo Chen and Yuntu to have such means.

They dodged one after another, but a few were unfortunately hit by the flames and turned into ashes in an instant.

Seeing this, the other men in black retreated one after another, their eyes filled with fear.

Luo Chen and Yun Tu took the opportunity to counterattack and killed all the remaining men in black.

After the battle, both of them looked a little tired.

But their hearts were filled with the joy of victory. They went to sit by the fire and continued to warm themselves by the fire.

"Brother Yuntu, I am grateful for your help today, otherwise I would have had a hard time getting away."

Luo Chen said gratefully.

Yuntu smiled slightly: "Brother Luochen is too polite. Since we are friends, we should naturally help each other."

"Moreover, your strength and wisdom also impressed me."

The two smiled at each other, and the atmosphere became more harmonious.

As the night deepened, they both fell asleep.

The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight penetrated the gaps between the leaves and shone on the ground, Luo Chen and Yuntu were already ready.

They knew that although last night's battle was victorious, the road ahead was still long and they had to remain vigilant and cautious.

The two continued along a winding path deeper into the Shadow Forest.

As they went deeper, the surrounding scenes became more and more bizarre.

The trees grew taller and thicker, with branches and leaves so dense that they almost blocked out the sky.

There is an ancient and mysterious atmosphere in the air, as if it hides countless secrets.

They moved forward cautiously, always paying attention to the movements around them.

Just then, a low roar suddenly came from the front.

The voice was full of majesty and power, causing Luo Chen and Yun Tu to feel a palpitation in their hearts.

They quickly drew out their swords, held them tightly in their hands, and looked vigilantly in the direction where the sound came from.

I saw a huge creature, like a crab in the water.

The whole body is dark green and the eyes are red.

A giant beast covered with a hard shell and emitting a faint luster is slowly walking out from the depths of the dense forest.

Every step it took seemed to step on everyone's heartstrings, shaking the air around it and bringing an indescribable sense of oppression.

This giant beast was obviously not comparable to any monster they had encountered before. The ancient aura it exuded made people involuntarily think of those legendary ancient ferocious beasts.

"This is... the Netherworld Crab King!"

There was a hint of solemnity in Yuntu's voice, and it was obvious that he recognized the identity of the giant beast.

The Nether Crab King, as one of the most powerful monsters in the Shadow Forest, is powerful enough to shake mountains, not to mention its almost indestructible shell and knife-sharp claws.

Luo Chen tightly grasped the sword, his eyes sharp. He knew very well that facing such an opponent, he could not show any fear or retreat.

He turned to look at Yuntu, and there was determination and resoluteness in both of their eyes.

At this moment, they are no longer individuals, but comrades fighting side by side, facing this unprecedented challenge together.

"Brother Yuntu, let's go!"

Luo Chen let out a low roar, and his body suddenly jumped up, rushing towards the Netherworld Crab King like an arrow.

Yuntu was not willing to be left behind and followed closely behind, with the two of them attacking from both sides, one on the left and one on the right.

The Nether Crab King was obviously intimidated by the momentum of the two men, but it did not retreat. Instead, it let out an even louder roar, as if declaring its territory and majesty to the two men.

Its huge pincers swung violently, bringing up a gust of wind and heading straight towards Luo Chen.

Luo Chen was agile and dodged the attack easily. At the same time, he swung his sword, and the sword light cut through the air like a streak of silk, going straight to the vital point of the Nether Crab King.

However, the shell of the Nether Crab King was extremely hard, and Luo Chen's sword light only left a shallow mark on it and failed to cause any substantial damage.

Upon seeing this, Yuntu immediately launched an attack from the flank. The long sword in his hand turned into sword shadows, tightly covering the Nether Crab King.

But even so, the Nether Crab King still relied on its amazing defensive power to dissolve all the attacks of the two.

As time went by, Luo Chen and Yun Tu gradually felt exhausted.

They knew that if they continued to fight head-on, they would only exhaust their strength and ultimately fail.

So, the two began to adjust their tactics, using the exquisite coordination of body movements and sword skills to constantly look for the flaws of the Nether Crab King.

Finally, in a fierce confrontation, Luo Chen caught a tiny mistake made by the Nether Crab King.

He took advantage of the situation and pierced his sword into the crack of the Nether Crab King's shell like lightning, going straight to its heart.

At this moment, Yuntu also launched a fatal attack. His sword cut in from the other side and intersected with Luo Chen's sword tip in the body of the Nether Crab King, forming a destructive force.

With a deafening roar, the huge body of the Nether Crab King fell to the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.

When the dust settled, the once majestic beast was reduced to a pile of lifeless wreckage.

Luo Chen and Yuntu smiled at each other. Although their clothes were soaked with sweat and their faces were full of fatigue, their hearts were filled with joy and pride of victory.

This is not only an affirmation of one's own strength, but also a deepening of mutual understanding and trust.

In this shadow forest full of dangers, they supported each other and faced challenges together. This friendship was more precious than any treasure.

After a short rest, Luo Chen and Yuntu continued their journey.

They knew that although the Nether Crab King was defeated, the danger in the Shadow Forest was far from over.

In order to find opportunities and legendary treasures, they must be more cautious and careful.

As we go deeper, the scenes in the Shadow Forest become more and more bizarre.

They encountered many exotic flowers and plants that they had never seen before, as well as some mysterious spirit beasts.

Most of these spirit beasts were gentle in temperament and seemed to have no ill will towards Luo Chen and Yun Tu. They just looked at the two uninvited guests with curiosity.

However, beneath this peaceful surface, a greater crisis is hidden.

Luo Chen and Yun Tu gradually realized that there seemed to be some kind of power in the Shadow Forest that was secretly controlling everything.

This force is both powerful and mysterious, making it impossible to fathom its true intentions.

In order to uncover the mystery, Luo Chen and Yun Tu decided to act separately.

After they agreed on the time and place to meet, they each explored in different directions.

Luo Chen chose a path that seemed more hidden. He walked forward carefully, always paying attention to the movements around him.

Suddenly, a strange fragrance came to his nose, which made him feel refreshed.

He walked in the direction of the fragrance and soon came to a sea of ​​flowers.

The flowers in this sea of ​​flowers are colorful, competing with each other in beauty, and are so beautiful that they make people intoxicated.

However, Luo Chen keenly noticed that there seemed to be some strange power hidden in these flowers.

He did not dare to be careless and quickly used his internal energy to protect his heart meridians just in case.

Just then, a soft singing voice came from the depths of the sea of ​​flowers.

The singing is gentle and melodious, like the sound of nature, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.

Luo Chen couldn't help but follow the sound, and soon he saw a woman in colorful clothes standing in the middle of the sea of ​​flowers, humming a song softly.

The woman had a beautiful face and an extraordinary temperament, like a fairy walking out of a painting.

Her singing was filled with endless sorrow and longing, which moved Luo Chen.

However, just as he was about to step forward to ask, a strong sense of crisis suddenly surged in his heart.

He turned around suddenly and saw several dark shadows approaching him silently.

These shadows are extremely fast, like ghosts, making it hard to guard against them. (End of this chapter)
