Chapter 711 - 711 Opportunity; Crisis?
711 Opportunity; Crisis?
The surging energy continued to surge toward his limbs.
Then, Lin Fan used Ethereal Breathing Technique that had just appeared in his mind and took a deep breath.
Boundless spiritual energy gushed into Lin Fan’s body like a huge river.
His cultivation increased rapidly!
Golden light shone from the Dark Yellow Protection Pearl around his body. It was as warm and safe as the sun.
At the same time, Lin Fan had gained many new insights and ways to use Time Laws.
…
Meanwhile, in Jiangbei City.
“Chengzhen, I discovered a very mysterious forbidden area!” Li Hao said. “I have a feeling that there’s a great opportunity inside!”
“You said something similar before, but what happened in the end?” Lin Chengzhen pursed his lips.
He still could not forget the scene of being chased by thousands of mutated beasts after entering the mystic realm.
Sometimes, he would even be woken up by a fright.
It was simply a nightmare.
Li Hao was a little embarrassed to be exposed. “That was an accident… Besides, nothing happened to us in the forbidden area. Moreover, he grew quite a bit in the forbidden area.”
Lin Chengzhen did not refute his words.
Although it was a little embarrassing that time, at least he had gained a lot of combat experience and wilderness survival skills.
Li Hao seemed to have noticed that Lin Chengzhen was tempted.
“Chengzhen, don’t you want to obtain a great opportunity and become stronger so that you can better protect your sister and family in the future?””
Younger sister?
Family?
At the mention of them, Lin Chengzhen’s originally calm heart immediately rippled as if a huge stone had been thrown into it.
When his sister, Lin Yulian, was born, Lin Chengzhen’s only thought was to teach her well, take care of her, and protect her.
The result?
In the end, when Lin Yulian was five years old, her cultivation had completely surpassed his.
Now, it had reached a height that he could not compare to.
That was fine.
Later, a boy jumped out of the Holy Spirit Stone, Lil Stone.
Even though Lin Chengzhen was not related to him by blood, he still treated him like his younger brother.
If he could not take care of his sister, he could at least take care of his brother, right?
The result?
Lil Stone’s cultivation increased rapidly every day. Not long after, he also surpassed him.
His younger brother and sister would become dragons and phoenixes. They would not be bullied by anyone.
This was a very happy thing.
However, Lin Chengzhen felt helpless.
There was no sense of accomplishment from being an older brother.
Perhaps he could really become stronger quickly by going to the forbidden area?
Then, he could experience what it felt like to be an older brother.
Thinking of this, Lin Chengzhen replied, “Alright.”
“You agree?” Li Hao said happily.
“Yes.” Lin Chengzhen nodded.
“That’s great! We’ll set off now!” Li Hao did not say anything else. He grabbed Lin Chengzhen’s arm and rushed into the distance.
It was obvious that he was worried that Lin Chengzhen would suddenly go back on his word.
…
In the blink of an eye, three months had passed.
Li Hao and Lin Chengzhen kept moving forward in the dark and rugged forbidden area.
The dark and damp smell was nauseating.
“Li Hao, is this the mystic realm you mentioned that has great opportunities?” Lin Chengzhen frowned.
Last time, he could at least encounter a large group of exotic beasts.
It could also be considered to increase his combat experience.
However, what about this mystic realm?
There were no spiritual fruits or strange beasts, only a rugged road with no clear edge.
Li Hao laughed dryly and said, “Uhh… The better the opportunity, the more time needed to find it.”
“But we’ve been searching for three months,” Lin Chengzhen said.
Li Hao said, “Good things take time… If we persevere, we will definitely reap great rewards.”
Thus, the two of them once again set foot on the road ahead.
…
In the blink of an eye, another three months had passed.
“I’ll walk for another three days. If I don’t find anything, I’ll be going back.”
“…Alright then.” Li Hao also had the intention of retreating. After walking for half a year, he also suspected that there might really be no treasures in this mystic realm.
“Huh, what’s that?” Lin Chengzhen was puzzled.
Li Hao looked in that direction.
In the next moment…
His eyes lit up.
It was a wide square.
There were nine incomparably thick stone pillars erected around the square. Every stone pillar was engraved with extremely complicated and mysterious talismans, and they were suffused with an extremely mysterious aura.
Li Hao quickened his pace and ran over. He said excitedly, “Chengzhen, what did I say? What did I say? There must be an opportunity in this mystic realm! A great opportunity!”
Lin Chengzhen also carefully observed the stone pillar and asked, “What kind of opportunity is this stone pillar?”
“It might be a weapon!” Li Hao stroked it gently. “A very powerful weapon! Just like Sun Wukong’s golden cudgel!”
“Sun Wukong’s golden cudgel?” Lin Chengzhen said.
“It’s just an analogy!” Li Hao said.
Then, he began to observe the stone pillar even more attentively.
About an hour later, Lin Chengzhen spoke again, “This seems to be an ordinary stone pillar with a special talisman engraved on it.”
“How is that possible? Perhaps we have to pull it out!” Li Hao said.
He did as he said. He hugged the stone pillar with both hands, injected energy, and exerted force.
However, the stone pillar in front of him seemed to be rooted into the ground and could not move at all.
“Chengzhen, come and help me.”
The two of them exerted their strength together, but the stone pillar still did not move.
Thus, they went to hug the other stone pillars.
After hugging the eighth pillar, Lin Chengzhen said, “I think this might be some kind of special formation that we can’t move at all.”
“This is the last one. How do we know if we don’t try?” Li Hao said. “Come, quick!”
Lin Chengzhen nodded and hugged the last stone pillar.
They had just exerted their strength when…
Instantly, the stone pillars burst forth with a terrifying energy.
The energy continued to condense, turning the area where the nine stone pillars were located into a huge black energy box.
In the black energy box, lightning bolts were jumping around, looking fierce and terrifying.
“What’s this?” Lin Chengzhen asked.
Li Hao said. “Could it be an opportunity?”
At this moment, a pair of scarlet and cold eyes appeared above the black energy box. It was as if they wanted to devour all living beings in the world.
A sense of danger rose from the depths of Lin Chengzhen’s soul.
“This is bad!” he shouted.
He pulled Li Hao and was about to rush out.
However…
At the bottom of the black energy box, a powerful suction force suddenly appeared. It was like a black hole that could not be resisted at all.
Lin Chengzhen and Li Hao instantly fell into it and disappeared as if they were swallowed.
The black energy box continued to throb and emit a soft sound of electricity.
After a long time, the black energy slowly dissipated.
Strangely, the nine thick stone pillars also disappeared without a trace.
