My gorgeous wife
Chapter 711 - 683: Monster

Chapter 711: Chapter 683: Monster

An Qin truly did not disappoint Li Chen.

The next morning, Li Chen received a call from An Qin.

"Everything’s ready." Upon hearing An Qin’s words, an uncontrollable excitement appeared on Li Chen’s face.

"Good, wait for me at the villa, and we’ll head over together!" Li Chen immediately responded.

Afterward, Li Chen prepared everything as quickly as possible and contacted the Nether Army, informing them to rush over as well.

Next to Li Chen, Lin Yi also had a faint smile on his face, "Happy?"

"Yes!" Li Chen nodded vigorously, "I owe Qianqian my life, no matter what, I must rescue her!"

"I’ll go with you," Lin Yi said.

"You?" Li Chen was hesitant, knowing well how dangerous the Relic could be. If the Relic were really to be opened, even he couldn’t guarantee what dangers might emerge from within.

"Relax, I’ll just watch from the outside, I won’t follow you inside and hinder you," Lin Yi said with a smile, patting Li Chen on the head, "Do I look like the kind of person who lacks awareness?"

"Hehehe..." Hearing Lin Yi’s words, Li Chen couldn’t help but laugh stupidly, "Of course not, my beautiful wife is naturally the smartest."

Lin Yi rolled her eyes.

Soon after, An Qin also arrived at the villa, and seeing the people around him, Li Chen’s expression turned serious.

"Let’s go!"

A group of people then grandly made their way towards the Relic.

Ever since the last incident, Li Chen had increased the number of guards in the forest, partly hoping that if there was any stir at the Relic, he could be informed immediately.

Another reason was to ensure that the Nether Army could look out for each other; in case a powerful enemy appeared, they’d at least have a possibility to escape.

When Li Chen, An Qin, Lin Yi, and the others reached the forest and met up with the Nether Army stationed there, a sizeable troop appeared in the forest.

"Wait here for a moment; I need to check the surroundings and then set up the Formation to open the gate," An Qin said as she arrived at the same collapsed area where the Relic had been opened last time, surveying the area before turning to speak to Li Chen.

"Alright, I’m not in a hurry, just be careful yourself," Li Chen spoke calmly, knowing they had already secured the most crucial item; there was no rush for this moment.

At that moment, Li Chen’s mood inexplicably calmed down.

Before long, Li Chen saw An Qin pulling various materials out of a small bag she carried, then began placing them at different positions.

Everyone seeing An Qin’s actions was utterly puzzled, only Li Chen’s eyes slightly flickered.

"Formation... always these formations."

Li Chen understood that although An Qin mentioned that opening the Relic required two things, the more crucial aspect was likely the formation used to open the Relic; he wondered where An Qin had learned it from.

Thus, Li Chen grew even more curious about the Holy Mountain and those mysterious things unknown to others.

Before long, once An Qin had completed setting up the Formation, Li Chen clearly saw a faint glow beginning to shine from the center of the Formation.

At first, this kind act was very faint, but as time passed, the glow became increasingly dazzling.

Eventually, the brightness made everyone involuntarily close their eyes.

Li Chen did not close his eyes because he saw, after the vast expanse of whiteness, something began to emerge.

"Rumble, rumble..."

It sounded as if an ancient city gate was slowly opening. From the center of the formation, a series of booming sounds began to emanate.

When the white light completely dissipated, the previously collapsed land had returned to its original state.

Moreover, in the center of the Formation, there now appeared a slowly opening... Stone Gate!

Seeing this Stone Gate, Li Chen couldn’t help but clench his fists tightly.

Back then, it was this Stone Gate that separated him, Wang Qianqian, and the Seven-Colored Being into two different worlds.

"Let’s go!"

Watching the Stone Gate slowly open, Li Chen turned his head back and called out in a deep voice, then he was the first to leap through the Stone Gate.

An Qin immediately followed, jumping down after him, with members of the Nether Army following right behind them.

Some of the Nether Army remained outside, responsible for guarding the outside and ensuring Lin Yi’s safety.

As they jumped down, whether intentionally or unintentionally, An Qin casually took two gems with her.

Those two gems had originally been placed at the location of the formation core but had risen into the air after the Relic was activated.

No matter what Li Chen thought, she still couldn’t fully trust anyone other than Li Chen.

Watching everyone enter the Relic, Lin Yi tried to calm his nerves but couldn’t help feeling a bit worried.

After all, the situation last time was enough to make him anxious; he didn’t know martial arts, so he could only silently pray for Li Chen.

After waiting a while and seeing no sign of Li Chen and others coming out, Lin Yi returned to Linchuan under the escort of the Nether Army.

...

"Wait a minute!"

Walking through the corridors of the Relic, Li Chen suddenly stretched out his hand, signaling everyone to stop.

He had been inside the Relic before, but for some reason, he felt that the Relic was somewhat different now.

At least, it had changed from the last time he had been there.

But if he had to specify what exactly had changed, Li Chen couldn’t quite put his finger on it right away.

"Something is approaching." Closing his eyes, Li Chen felt it keenly, then spoke in a deep voice.

"Be on guard!"

"Whoosh!"

"Be careful!"

A figure, swift as the wind, cut through the air and sped towards a Nether Army Warrior, but just as it approached, a hand appeared in front of it.

Li Chen looked at the creature in front of him, different from those he had encountered before, not humanoid but resembling a kind of animal with a spiked carapace, degenerated eyes, and highly developed limbs.

What surprised Li Chen even more was that this creature was much stronger than the silver creatures he had encountered initially.

"Crack!"

However, in Li Chen’s eyes now, this creature was merely something he could kill with a simple movement of his hand.

The next moment, a large number of eyes reflecting a strange sheen appeared in front of them.

"Careful! Engage!"

This creature was not alone but in groups!

The battle, instantly ignited!

"Hiss!"

After slaying a creature with a single sword strike, An Qin extracted a strangely shaped stone from its body.

"What is this?" After killing a creature, Li Chen took a moment to look at An Qin and asked curiously.

"Good stuff." An Qin nodded, "Start digging!"

"Alright!"
