Su He was prepared and dodged the attack from the skeleton in a flash.

This skeleton was clearly no ordinary dead object; its movements were extremely agile, easily dodging Su He's sword energy.

The white bones bared their sharp teeth and bit down on Suhe's throat.

At the critical moment, a burst of spiritual energy suddenly struck the skeleton's body, knocking it back several steps.

It turned out that Jin Tianxiang had come to the rescue. Although his cultivation was not as high as Su He's, he was still able to play a role at the crucial moment.

Su He seized the opportunity to pursue, and the Tai Xuan Sword transformed into a silver light, slashing towards the skeleton of the white bone.

This time, the skeleton was finally unable to completely dodge and was struck in the shoulder by the sword energy, letting out a wail.

However, this skeleton was far too powerful; this single attack was not enough to completely defeat it.

The skeleton lunged at Su He again, its hands transforming into sharp claws as it viciously clawed at Su He's chest.

Su He swung his sword to block, but felt a great force coming from him; it was the power of the skeleton that far exceeded that of ordinary people.

Just as Su He was struggling to hold on, Jin Tianxiang struck again, delivering a burst of spiritual energy to the back of the skeleton.

The skeleton immediately lost its balance, revealing a weakness.

Su He seized the opportunity, and the Tai Xuan Sword pierced straight into the chest of the white bone, hitting the spot where the key was.

The sword energy penetrated to the bone, and the skeleton let out a shrill scream before its body instantly turned to ashes.

A key fell from the ashes; it was the very key embedded in the chest of the skeleton.

Su He picked up the key and examined it closely, discovering that it was also covered with peculiar patterns.

He put the key in his pocket, turned to Jin Tianxiang and said, "Junior brother, thank you for your help."

"This is only the first key; the other three will probably not be easy to obtain either."

Jin Tianxiang nodded, a hint of lingering fear still on his face.

Su He held the key and examined it carefully.

A thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

The murals seen in the cave earlier seemed to hint at the whereabouts of the remaining keys.

The mural depicts a huge ancient beast guarding something.

Su He guessed that those were likely the remaining three keys.

The ancient beast's lair should be located in the waters not far from this underwater palace.

Thinking of this, Su He's heart stirred.

He turned to Jin Tianxiang and said, "Junior brother, I suspect the rest of the keys are in the nest of an ancient beast nearby."

"How about this, you stay here and guard the treasure chest, I'll go check the situation."

Upon hearing this, Jin Tianxiang immediately became interested.

He eagerly said, "Senior brother, let me go with you!"

"If you encounter danger, I can lend you a hand."

Su He shook his head and said firmly, "No."

"The strength of that ancient beast is unpredictable; I'll go on the adventure alone."

"Besides, someone has to guard the treasure chest to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the situation."

Jin Tianxiang wanted to argue a few more points, but seeing Su He's serious expression, he had no choice but to compromise.

"Alright, senior brother, then you must be careful."

If anything happens, please contact me immediately.

Su He nodded and patted Jin Tianxiang on the shoulder.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine."

"You stay here and guard the place well, don't make any rash moves."

After saying that, Su He gripped the Tai Xuan Sword and swam towards the underwater palace.

Jin Tianxiang watched his senior brother's retreating figure, feeling both worried and expectant.

He prayed silently that his senior brother would return safely and bring back the remaining keys.

At the same time, he was also wondering what incredible treasures might be inside this mysterious chest.

Jin Tianxiang became more and more curious, but dared not act on his own.

He could only obediently stay where he was and wait for news from his senior brother.

Suhe left the underwater palace and swam in the direction where the ancient beast might be dwelling.

He swam through the water, his eyes scanning the surroundings.

This underground lake has a very large area, and the underwater world is even more mysterious and unpredictable.

With his keen senses, Suhe continued to search for traces of the ancient beast.

However, the search for the ancient beast did not go smoothly.

Underwater visibility was very low, with various aquatic plants and rocks obstructing the view.

Suhe had to slow down and proceed cautiously.

However, the traces of the ancient beasts remain elusive.

Su He gradually felt anxious.

Time is of the essence; we must find the ancient beast's lair as soon as possible.

He decided to use magic to try to lure the ancient beast out.

Suhe gathered his magical power and released a mysterious wave in the water.

This fluctuation acted as a signal, reaching distant waters.

Su He held his breath and waited, hoping that the ancient beast would sense the spell and appear.

However, the fluctuations of the spell did not attract the ancient beast; instead, they alarmed a large group of demonic snakes.

These serpent demons were enormous.

They seemed extremely sensitive to fluctuations in magic, and quickly swam towards the Su River.

Suhe immediately drew his sword and slew the demon.

Although the serpent demons were numerous, they were as fragile as paper under Su He's sword.

One by one, the demonic snakes were cleaved in two, and blood spread throughout the water.

Su He's figure weaved through the swarm of demonic snakes like a black lightning bolt.

His Tai Xuan Sword was invincible; wherever it went, the demon snakes fell one after another.

More and more blood filled the water, staining the entire lake red.

Gradually, the number of demonic snakes began to decrease.

And at that very moment.

A huge figure suddenly appeared in the water.

It was a massive ancient beast.

It was clearly attracted by the blood in the water.

This ancient beast has a ferocious face and fangs as sharp as knives.

Its body is covered with hard scales that emit a faint blue light.

Su He was overjoyed to see the Blue Scale Beast appear.

Just like the one on the stone wall, it seems this is the ancient beast guarding the key.

Without any hesitation, Su He immediately activated his magic power.

The Blue Scale Beast let out a deafening roar, brandishing its massive claws to meet Su He's attack.

Suhe's attacks continued to land on the Blue Scale Beast, leaving deep wounds on its scales.

Although the Bluescale Beast had thick hide and tough flesh, it gradually became no match for Suhe's attacks.

Su He seized the opportunity and thrust his sword into the Blue Scale Beast's eye.

The sword struck a vital spot, and the Blue Scale Beast let out a shrill scream as its body convulsed violently.

He pressed his advantage, unleashing a series of sword strikes that riddled the blue-scaled beast's body with holes.

The Bluescale Beast was severely injured and no longer able to resist.

It let out a mournful cry and turned to run away.

How could Suhe let it succeed?

He pursued relentlessly, the Tai Xuan Sword transforming into a long rainbow, closely following behind the Blue Scale Beast.

Su He followed closely behind the Blue Scale Beast, like a shadow.

He was incredibly fast, like a black lightning bolt, constantly darting through the water.

Although the Blue Scale Beast was severely injured, it was still an ancient and ferocious monster, possessing astonishing speed and strength.

It desperately tried to escape Suhe's pursuit.

How could Suhe let it have its way?
