Body Refinement for Longevity: From Health Cultivation Exercises to Overcoming All Techniques

"Are you sure you want to follow? The space down there is cramped, and if we encounter danger, it won't be so easy to escape."

Chen Han gave his final piece of advice.

"It's alright, I'll just hide behind you."

Zhuge Rushuang said indifferently.

She was naturally aloof, but not arrogant. She readily accepted the fact that this younger man was much stronger than her and appropriately showed weakness.

"The fighting will be quite chaotic... Oh well, whatever."

Seeing that he couldn't persuade him, Chen Han had no choice but to give up and didn't take the matter too seriously.

Then, he took the lead and climbed down into the crevice. It was more accurate to say he slid down rather than climbed. Chen Han held onto the rock wall with one hand, controlling his speed, while he slid down almost vertically at an extremely fast speed.

If an ordinary martial artist did this, their hand would surely be seriously injured.

But when Chen Han finally reached the bottom of the valley and stepped onto the ground, he pulled his hand out, dusted it off, and saw that his hand was completely intact, without even a scratch.

He looked up and saw Zhuge Rushuang using both hands and feet to carefully hop down the slope, one step at a time, and she had only covered about 20% of the distance so far.

She didn't have Chen Han's strong physique, so she naturally had to be careful. Besides, being a woman, she couldn't do anything too vulgar.

Chen Han waited for quite a while before Zhuge Rushuang finally came down.

"Young hero, are you made of iron? You dared to come down like that and you're not hurt at all."

As soon as she landed, Zhuge Rushuang stared in surprise at Chen Han's perfectly unharmed hand.

Chen Han gave her a relaxed look in response, then looked around to determine the direction and headed deeper into the valley.

"Don't make a sound later."

(Please remember the website 202s.tw for the fastest chapter updates.)

Chen Han reminded him.

Zhuge Rushuang immediately made a note of it, and her steps became much lighter as well.

Unbeknownst to her, she had become willing to follow Chen Han's orders along the way, a fact she herself had not even noticed.

Chen Han's temperament, strength, and judgment of the situation far surpassed hers, which is why this cold and beautiful woman was willing to show weakness and obey his orders.

Throughout history, most women have admired strength, and Zhuge Rushuang was no exception.

The two continued deeper into the valley. As time passed and they went further down, the air became increasingly humid, and even the ground beneath their feet turned into mud. Chen Han's calves were covered in mud, but he didn't seem to care.

Zhuge Rushuang was initially a little uncomfortable, but gradually she stopped caring.

squeak~

Chen Han looked over at the sound and saw a mountain rat passing by in the cracks of the rocks. However, its body was covered in large patches of rot, and its eyes were white, as if it had been dead for a long time. Moreover, it was large, about the size of a one-year-old baby. It was disgusting to look at and aroused disgust.

Zhuge Rushuang had lived in the city since childhood and occasionally went out hunting with the royal family. She had never seen such a scene before, and immediately looked away with a grim expression.

Looking at Chen Han, he wasn't much better off, his brows furrowed the whole time. However, given the precedent of the poisonous frog from Eagle Falcon Mountain, his situation was somewhat better than that of the goddess constable behind him.

Before long, the passage widened, and after a certain distance, it suddenly opened up into a bright and spacious area.

At this moment, there was no path in front of Chen Han and Zhuge Rushuang, but a huge pit in the valley, dozens of feet wide and of unknown depth. Even Chen Han, with his keen senses, could not see through the darkness below, as if it were a bottomless abyss.

"Young hero, do you still dare to leave?"

The usually strong and aloof Zhuge Rushuang gazed at the abyss below, finally feeling a bit uneasy. She softly asked Chen Han.

Chen Han took a step back, and without making a sound, took out a light stone that he had prepared beforehand from his storage bag and threw it down.

Light stones are a type of small, not uncommon item that emits light at all times and is often used as a substitute for candles. Chen Han, being meticulous, would naturally prepare these practical items in advance.

The light stone fell downwards, gradually illuminating the bottomless abyss, and finally landed. Chen Han estimated that the pit was about three hundred meters deep.

"Young hero!"

Zhuge Rushuang let out a soft exclamation and said softly, "Look, that light stone is moving."

Chen Han looked closely and saw that the light stone was indeed moving. How could a stone move?

But when he saw clearly the surroundings illuminated by the light stone, a smile immediately appeared on his lips, and he understood.

What appeared to be a colossal object covered in regular patterns, constantly twisting and moving, estimated to be at least four zhang thick. Clearly, it was a giant python, the very python demon Chen Han was looking for.

"I've finally found you."

Chen Han was not afraid at all; on the contrary, he showed a look of joy.

"Young hero, you...you mean the python demon you're talking about is the monster down there?"

Zhuge Rushuang now understood why Chen Han had repeatedly told her to be careful and not to follow him. It turned out that he was looking for such a monster. This was a demon beast... It was simply incomparable to those other strange beasts.

The more the female constable looked at the massive python, the more terrified she became, unable to imagine just how long it was from head to tail.

"Of course, otherwise why would I go to all this trouble?"

Hearing Zhuge Rushuang's slightly trembling voice, Chen Han responded with some surprise.

He found it quite amusing to look at the aloof female constable's frightened expression.

"Didn't you want to see a demonic beast? It hasn't even fully revealed itself yet, and you're already scared?"

On a whim, Chen Han made a sarcastic remark with ill intent.

"Are you sure you can do it? This so-called demonic beast looks very powerful. If you can't, don't force yourself. Just leave."

To everyone's surprise, Zhuge Rushuang didn't care at all. Instead, she became concerned about Chen Han and tried to persuade him to leave.

Chen Han was somewhat surprised, then smiled faintly, "Just step back a bit, I know what I'm doing..."

The goddess constable looked down at the terrifying, headless and tailless python demon below, then at the man beside her, and felt a huge disparity in their strength.

She even felt that these so-called demonic beasts were beyond human capability to deal with; at the very least, it would require a large army of warriors to use sheer numbers to subdue them.

She tried to persuade him a few more times, but Chen Han refused without backing down.

Helpless, she could only watch the battle from a distance, praying in her heart that the young hero would not die.

At this moment, Zhuge Rushuang desperately hoped that Chen Hanzhen was as powerful as he claimed. Firstly, because of her precarious situation, if this young hero were to die, she would be utterly powerless to resist the Emperor's subsequent execution.

Secondly, it was a pity that such a brave and resourceful young man died like this.

Thirdly, without realizing it, she had come to regard Chen Han as a partner with whom she could help and benefit each other.

On the other hand, Chen Han was fearless and full of fighting spirit.

With a thought, he took out a fireball talisman from his storage bag, then activated his magic power and threw it downwards.

The talisman instantly transformed into a fiery red streak of light, shooting straight into the abyss. It then changed into a fireball about half the height of a person, accurately striking the giant python below.

boom!

The fireball exploded, and the intense heat of the flames instantly illuminated the entire pit as bright as day, accompanied by a deafening, bloodcurdling scream from a wild beast!
