Lu Chen slowly opened his eyes. In his deep eyes, the galaxy-like light that had been stirred up by the system deduction had all converged, and the calmness of the ancient well had been restored.
He folded the fragmented picture carefully and put it safely in his arms.
Then he turned his head and looked at Su Qingxue sitting cross-legged not far away.
After refining the Earth Vein Spirit Marrow, the latter's complexion returned to rosy, his aura became smooth and strong, and True Qi lingered around his body. It was obvious that all his injuries had been healed.
Su Qingxue felt Lu Chen's gaze, and his body froze slightly, then opened his eyes and looked at him slightly uneasily.
Lu Chen's voice was low and calm, without any emotion, "The entrance to the demon treasure is located in a huge basin surrounded by mountains deep in Hundred Demon Cave. We will go there next."
Su Qingxue couldn't help but tremble in his heart when he heard this.
Before she came here, her family had told her that the depths of Hundred Demon Cave were a restricted area that even those in the late Meridian Opening realm would not dare to easily set foot in.
"Yes, senior."
Lu Chen Without saying another word, he stood up and walked towards the entrance of the cave.
Su Qingxue followed him step by step, one after the other, once again blending into the vast darkness deep in Hundred Demon Cave.
The deeper you go into Hundred Demon Cave, the more complex and changeable the surrounding environment becomes.
Rugged and strange rocks thrust into the sky like swords, dead ancient trees bared their teeth and claws, and the air was filled with a suffocating and suffocating aura of Yao Qi and decay.
Occasionally, the roar of Demon Beast and the roar of human warriors True Qi were heard from very far away, adding a bit of tension and chill to this dead place.
Lu Chen shuttles between rocks and jungles without picking up a trace of smoke or making any sound.
Su Qingxue followed closely behind. She saw with her own eyes Lu Chen's superb concealment and evasion abilities, and her evaluation of him rose again.
Next to him, she seemed to be in an invisible barrier, and those Demon Beast auras that were enough to make Meridian Opening level warriors' scalps tingle were unable to lock them at all.
Several waves of Demon Beast groups with considerable strength were cleverly avoided by Lu Chen; several trial teams that shuttled through the forest were also quietly bypassed by him without revealing their whereabouts.
"Senior, our points..." Su Qingxue couldn't help but speak after all.
She knows that Lu Chen's strength is unfathomable, but according to Hidden Dragon Trial's rules, heroes are still judged based on points.
Although Lu Chen killed Vajra Rock Ape in the canyon, compared with those trialists who had been deep into Hundred Demon Cave for many days, the points gap was still not small.
Lu Chen did not look back, but just said a few words lightly, "There will be."
The power of his soul was like a large invisible net, spreading around silently.
He avoided those areas that had been raided by others, and specifically selected those places that were rich in Yao Qi but also hidden and remote.
Soon, his soul's perception locked onto a lone Meridian Opening mid-level Demon Beast--[Tusked Demon Boar].
This demonic pig has rough skin and thick flesh, and amazing strength, but it moves slowly and has a keen sense of smell, but it is helpless against warriors with extremely poor aura camouflage abilities.
Lu Chen follows you like a shadow, approaching quietly.
Without Tusked Demon Boar being aware of it, the short blade spit out a message like a poisonous snake, accurately piercing the fatal vital point on the back of his neck.
Tusked Demon Boar didn't even hum before falling to the ground.
[Kill Tusked Demon Boar, get trial points: 100]
[Get Demon Devil Lifespan:80 years]
[Current Demon Devil Lifespan:620 years]
[Trial points: 1748]
Lu Chen skillfully took out Demon Core and confiscated Demon Devil Lifespan. The whole process was clean and neat, without any sloppiness.
He did not stay where he was, and once again took Su Qingxue into the darkness and continued to move forward.
Along the way, Lu Chen was like an efficient killing machine.
He no longer deliberately looks for the demons in the late Meridian Opening realm, but instead targets those Demon Beast who are alone in the early Meridian Opening realm.
Relying on the perfect state of <Black Tortoise Breath Concealment Art> and <Shadow Demon Trace Steps>, he completed precise sneak attacks and instant kills again and again.
In his battles, he does not pursue grandeur, but only pursues efficiency and concealment. Every time he takes action, he kills with one blow, without giving Demon Beast any chance to resist or any possibility for the surrounding trialists to notice.
Su Qingxue witnessed the suffocating hunting efficiency of Lu Chen with his own eyes, and was deeply shocked.
She never thought that A warrior in the middle Meridian Opening realm could be so powerful.
He seems to be the real owner of this Hundred Demon Cave, knowing everything here very well and with ease.
[Kill Ironback Bear Demon, get trial points: 120]
[Kill Venomous Scorpion King, get trial points: 150]
[Kill Bloodthirsty Demon Wolf, get trial points: 130]
As each Demon Core is added to the account, the number of points on the Lu Chen tokens is also rising rapidly.
When they arrived at the destination indicated by the residual picture, the points on the Lu Chen token had suddenly reached -
[Trial points: 3018]
This number is enough for him to stand out from the crowd and be far ahead in the entire trial!
As we go deeper, the surrounding Yao Qi becomes more intense. Occasionally, fierce battle sounds can be heard in the distance, and a tense atmosphere fills the air.
Lu Chen discovered that the area pointed to by the residual image was not a hidden cave, but a huge basin surrounded by mountains, with a naturally formed fog covering the outside.
Lu Chen took Su Qingxue to climb a towering mountain and looked down from the top.
The huge basin suddenly opened up, and dozens of figures loomed on the edge of the basin, obviously all of them were elites of Hidden Dragon Trial.
They were all looking at the huge ruins shrouded in the rich Yao Qi in the center of the basin - that was where the "demon treasure" pointed out in the fragmented picture was located.
Lu Chen's gaze swept across the crowd, and he keenly caught a few malicious glances, which were directed at the more than three thousand points that were conspicuous on his token.
At this moment, in the center of the basin, deep within the Yao Qi towering ruins, a dull sound like a beating heart could be heard, as if something ancient was awakening.
At the same time, several eyes with scrutiny and greed locked on Lu Chen.
