"I'll beat you to death, you ugly bastard!" Su Xiaowan calmed down a little and picked up a stone nearby and wanted to throw it at him.

"Xiao Wan, don't be impulsive!" Lin Wan'er shouted hurriedly, and at the same time, she pinched her fingers and a ray of purifying green light shot out, landing on the ground that had just been corroded by the poison net. With a sizzling sound, the black scorched earth quickly regained its vitality and green grass grew again.

She discovered that the environment here seemed to have a good affinity with her Tianyuan spiritual power, especially the purification and healing spells, the effects were even better than in the original world.

The battlefield was instantly divided. Luo Qingchen was fighting one against two, tangling with the two mantis spider monsters that attacked head-on. Lin Wan'er had to deal with the monster that spewed poison webs, while also protecting Su Xiaowan and Bai Ling'er.

The more Luo Qingchen fought, the more frightened he became. The two mantis spiders cooperated very well, their attacks were tricky and fierce, and their shells were extremely hard. Even with his now greatly enhanced Chaos Sword Qi, he needed to use all his strength to break through them, and he couldn't kill them with one strike. What was even more troublesome was that these monsters seemed to be able to absorb some kind of dark energy from the surrounding environment, and their recovery speed was very fast, making them very difficult to deal with!
“Chaos·Erosion!” Luo Qingchen changed his strategy and no longer pursued an instant kill. Instead, he attached the power of chaos to the sword. Every chopped and blocked attack carried a subtle but highly penetrating power of annihilation, like a maggot on the tarsal bone, constantly corroding the monster's shell and internal life!

chi chi...

Sure enough, the mantis monster that was eroded by the power of chaos became noticeably slower and stiffer in its movements, and gray spots began to appear on the surface of its shell, as if its vitality was being rapidly stripped away!
The effect is remarkable! Luo Qingchen's spirits were lifted, and his offensive became more fierce!

As for Lin Wan'er, the situation was a little tricky. The mantis spider monster that spewed poisonous webs seemed to be smarter. It no longer charged head-on, but used its speed advantage to constantly wander around and harass, spewing out venom or poisonous webs from time to time, forcing Lin Wan'er to passively defend and find it difficult to organize an effective counterattack. She also had to distract herself to protect Su Xiaowan and Bai Ling'er, and was suppressed for a while.

"Damn it! This spider spirit is too slippery!" Su Xiaowan was so angry that she stamped her feet and could only hold the tortoise shell in her hand. Her attack talismans were simply unable to hit such a high-speed moving target.

At this moment, Su Xiaowan suddenly had an idea. She looked at the tortoise shell in her arms that was emitting a yellowish halo, then looked at the huge star crystal in the center of the lake in the distance, and the pure star energy that permeated around it, and a bold idea popped up in her mind.

"Hey, Turtle Shell, Turtle Shell, can't you absorb energy? Last time you even absorbed such messy energy. Now there are so many good things here. How about you absorb some and then shoot it out to hit that bad spider?" Su Xiaowan hugged the Turtle Shell and whispered to it, not knowing whether she was talking to herself or really communicating.

Miraculously, as she chanted, the earthy yellow halo on the surface of the tortoise shell seemed to flow faster! The pure star energy that was invisible to the naked eye and filled the surrounding air seemed to be drawn into the tortoise shell bit by bit!
After absorbing the energy of the stars, the patterns on the surface of the tortoise shell actually began to emit a faint, star-like silver luster, which was intertwined with the original khaki color, making it appear even more mysterious!

Su Xiaowan felt the tortoise shell in her hand was slightly warm, as if it had accumulated some kind of power. Her eyes lit up, and she imitated Luo Qingchen, aiming at the mantis spider monster that was moving at high speed around Lin Wan'er, and suddenly pushed the tortoise shell forward!
"Go! Kamehameha... Pah! Turtle Shell Divine Light!"

call out!
A beam of light interwoven with earthy yellow and silver starlight shot out from the center of the tortoise shell like an arrow shot from a bow! The speed was so fast that it was far beyond Su Xiaowan's expectations!
The mantis monster was concentrating on dealing with Lin Wan'er, and didn't take the little guy next to it who could only hold up the "pot lid" for defense seriously. How could it have expected that this "pot lid" could also launch attacks?
puff!

The beam hit its flank accurately!

"grumble--!!!"

The mantis monster let out a shrill scream, and its body froze in place as if it had been hit by a high-speed drill! The heavy khaki energy imprisoned and slowed the hit part like a quagmire, while the silver star energy was like countless tiny needles, frantically destroying its internal structure!

Two kinds of energy, one tends to be defense and confinement, and the other tends to be pure energy impact. Under the transformation of the tortoise shell, they actually formed a strange combination effect!

"Good opportunity!" Lin Wan'er's eyes flashed, she seized this fleeting opportunity, and the magic spell in her hand changed rapidly!

"Tianyuan·Wood Binding!"

Whoosh whoosh!
The countless green vines on the ground seemed to come alive, growing and entwining wildly, and instantly tied up the mantis monster that was hit by the light beam and whose movements were hindered!
"Chichi!" The monster struggled desperately, but was slowed down by the ochre light and bound by the tough vines, making it difficult to break free for a while!

"Well done, Xiaowan!" Lin Wan'er praised, then put her hands together, and the emerald green Tianyuan spiritual power was highly condensed!
"Tengen Purification Arrow!"

A emerald green arrow composed entirely of pure wood spiritual energy condensed and took shape in front of her. The tip of the arrow exuded a strong purifying aura, which was the nemesis of these dark monsters!
call out!
The purification arrow broke through the air and accurately shot into the wound of the mantis monster that was pierced by the light beam!

"puff!!!"

Like boiling oil poured on snow! The emerald green purifying force suddenly erupted in the monster's body! The black gas dissipated crazily, and the monster let out a final unwilling roar. Its entire body quickly shrank and melted, eventually turning into a pool of black water, which was completely absorbed by the green grass on the ground.

"Yeah! I killed one!" Su Xiaowan jumped up excitedly, hugged Turtle Shell and kissed and rubbed it, "Turtle Shell Turtle Shell, you are awesome! From now on, I will wipe you and wax you every day!"

Turtle shell: “…”

After dealing with this problem, Lin Wan'er and Su Xiaowan immediately turned their attention to Luo Qingchen.

Luo Qingchen had gained the upper hand at this time. The erosion effect of the power of chaos was extremely good. The movements of the two mantis monsters were getting slower and slower, and the gray spots on their shells were increasing. Their resistance was becoming weaker and weaker.

"It's over." Luo Qingchen's eyes were calm, and the Black Dragon Sword drew a mysterious trajectory.

"Chaos·Nirvana Flowing Light!"

Two tiny gray streaks of light that contained a terrifying aura of annihilation flashed by and accurately sank into the remaining scarlet compound eyes of the two mantis monsters!
puff!puff!
The monster's movements suddenly stopped, and its body collapsed to the ground as if it had lost support. Then, like its previous companions, it quickly turned into ashes and dissipated into the air.

The battle was over, and the lakeside returned to tranquility again, leaving only a few spots of charred ground corroded by the venom, and a faint fishy smell in the air that had not yet completely dissipated.

"Phew... that was close." Su Xiaowan patted her chest and ran to Luo Qingchen, "Brother Luo, these monsters are so powerful! They seem to be... coming for Sister Ling'er?"

Luo Qingchen nodded and looked at Bai Ling'er who was still sleeping on Lin Wan'er's back, his eyes solemn: "Well, they are very sensitive to the dragon soul aura and the aura of the Nine Revolutions Resurrection Grass on Ling'er. It seems that although Ling'er is unconscious, her existence in this unknown world may cause a lot of trouble." Lin Wan'er also frowned: "What should we do? We can't keep fighting like this."

Luo Qingchen's gaze once again turned to the huge star crystal in the center of the lake, and the strange "starlight whisper" it emitted.

"These monsters seem to have emerged from the shadows of the forest. They seem to be a little afraid of the star crystal in the center of the lake and dare not get too close." Luo Qingchen analyzed, "Also, I feel that the energy fluctuations emitted by this star crystal seem to be communicating with something... Or is it itself a huge 'beacon'?"

"Beacon?" Lin Wan'er and Su Xiaowan were both a little confused.

"Well, it's like... it's transmitting information to a certain place, or a certain existence." Luo Qingchen looked at the starlight flowing inside the crystal. "Perhaps, the key to unlocking the secrets here, or even finding the way back, lies in this crystal, or in the content of its 'whisper'."

"Should we get close to it?" Su Xiaowan was eager to try, but also a little scared. "Will it be guarded by monsters?"

"Not sure." Luo Qingchen shook his head, "But that sleeping consciousness gives me a feeling of extreme danger. It's too risky to approach rashly."

He pondered for a moment, and suddenly thought of something. He looked at the tortoise shell in Su Xiaowan's arms: "Xiaowan, your tortoise shell just absorbed the star energy here, and it can still launch attacks?"

"Yes, yes!" Su Xiaowan immediately puffed out her chest as if to take credit, "I told it to absorb energy and beat up the bad guys, and it really did it! Isn't it amazing?"

A strange light flashed in Luo Qingchen's eyes. This tortoise shell not only had unparalleled defense, but also could transform energy, heal wounds, and teleport. Now it could also actively absorb specific energy and launch attacks? And it seemed to be able to understand Su Xiaowan's words? What level of treasure was this?

An idea gradually took shape in his mind.

"Xiao Wan, try to see if you can let your tortoise shell... 'listen' to what the crystal is 'saying'?" Luo Qingchen looked at Su Xiaowan and said seriously, "Since it can absorb the star energy here, perhaps... it can also interpret the information contained in this energy fluctuation?"

"Ah? Listen to it talking?" Su Xiaowan was stunned. She looked down at the turtle shell in her arms, then looked at the huge crystal in the center of the lake in the distance. Bewilderment was written all over her face. "This... Is this possible?"

"Give it a try." Luo Qingchen encouraged, "Just like you let it absorb energy just now, use your heart to feel it and guide it."

Su Xiaowan was skeptical, but she nodded. She held the tortoise shell and walked to the lake. She found a clean stone to sit on, closed her eyes, and imitated Luo Qingchen, trying to focus her mind on the tortoise shell and the star crystal in the distance.

"Turtle shell, turtle shell, listen to that big crystal, what is it mumbling? Can you tell me?"

As time passed, the star mist on the lake surface floated gently, and the star crystal was still suspended there, regularly absorbing and exhaling energy and emitting silent "whispers".

Su Xiaowan's face turned red and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. It was obvious that this kind of "listening" was not easy for her.

Luo Qingchen and Lin Wan'er waited quietly by the side without disturbing her, while keeping an eye on their surroundings to prevent any more monsters from appearing.

Just when Luo Qingchen thought that this method might not work, Su Xiaowan's tightly closed eyes suddenly opened!

Her eyes were filled with shock, confusion, and a hint of disbelief!
"How is it, Xiaowan? What did you hear?" Lin Wan'er asked hurriedly.

Su Xiaowan opened her mouth, as if trying to organize her words. After a long while, she spoke in a dreamy tone, intermittently:
"It...it seems to be saying 'coordinates', 'traction', 'return', and the gate to the world is about to open?"

"Coordinates? Traction? Way home? Gate to the world?"

When Luo Qingchen and Lin Wan'er heard the words Su Xiaowan uttered intermittently, their hearts were shocked!

These words combined together point almost undisguisedly to a possibility - the hope of leaving this world and returning home!

"Xiao Wan, are you sure? Is it really saying this?" Luo Qingchen's voice was filled with a subtle urgency. He walked to Su Xiaowan and stared at her closely.

Su Xiaowan nodded vigorously, her face looking a little pale due to excitement and mental exhaustion: "Yeah! Although it's very fuzzy and intermittent, like many voices mixed together, but I'm sure I heard these words! That big crystal...it seems to be...a locator? Or a navigator? It is receiving or sending some kind of signal, which is related to the 'Gate of the World'!"

"The Gate of the World..." Lin Wan'er muttered to herself, with excitement flashing in her eyes. "Could it be a passage that can cross the barrier of the world like the 'Gate of Life'?"

"Very likely!" Luo Qingchen's eyes were as sharp as lightning, and he looked at the star crystal in the center of the lake again, "'Coordinates' and 'traction', this shows that it is not only positioning, but also trying to guide the arrival of some kind of power or channel! And 'return' and 'the world gate is about to open' clearly indicate this point!"

This discovery was like a bright light that suddenly lit up in the endless darkness, and instantly filled the three people's hearts, which were originally heavy due to being in a foreign land, with great hope!

"What should we do now?" Su Xiaowan excitedly grabbed Luo Qingchen's sleeve, "Do we just have to wait for the 'Gate of the World' to open, and then we can go home?"

"I'm afraid it's not that simple." Luo Qingchen quickly calmed down and analyzed, "First of all, we are not sure where this 'world gate' leads to. Who is the 'return' relative to? Is it our return, or the return of this world or other existence? Secondly, 'about to open' means it has not yet opened. How long will this process take? What will happen when it opens? Will it attract more powerful dangers?" (End of this chapter)
