Chapter 715: Chapter 687 Finally Meet
Following the path ahead, Li Chen and his companions became increasingly cautious in their steps.
As they ventured deeper, they found that the monsters inside were growing stronger and that the relic had not only changed from what Li Chen had initially seen but also manifested distinct territorial divisions.
Within each zone, there seemed to be only one kind of creature.
It was as if they each had a strict concept of... territory?
Li Chen didn’t know for sure, but he was certain that no matter what awaited him ahead, he must continue to delve deeper until he found Wang Qianqian.
"Ah!"
Suddenly, Li Chen heard an exclamation from a distance.
"Hmm?" Upon hearing this voice, an unmistakable expression of surprise and delight appeared on Li Chen’s face.
"That’s Qianqian’s voice!" Li Chen declared definitively.
"Are you sure?" An Qin obviously was much more cautious than Li Chen as she asked him.
"Absolutely sure, it’s definitely Qianqian’s voice, no mistake!" Li Chen nodded and immediately rushed towards the direction of the voice while he was still speaking.
"Hey! You..."
Watching Li Chen’s swift departure, disappearing ahead, An Qin shook her head in resignation, her face showing a hint of helplessness.
This man was usually calm, yet for some reason, whenever it came to matters involving women, he turned into this.
"Hurry up! Follow him!" Waving to the Nether Army at her side, An Qin also hurriedly followed suit.
Actually, in her heart, An Qin wasn’t entirely convinced that Wang Qianqian was still alive. After all, she was only a normal person before being parasitized by the Golden Bugs that emerged from the Black General’s death.
Even if she had accidentally obtained great power, in this perilous place with no food or water and so many monsters, how could Wang Qianqian, with her strength, survive?
However, at the next moment, her doubt was proven... wrong!
"Qianqian!"
When he saw Wang Qianqian engaged in combat with a monster, the excitement in Li Chen’s heart could no longer be contained as he charged towards her without hesitation.
The creature battling Wang Qianqian was of Yellow Rank strength, and although Wang Qianqian possessed immense power in her body, she was clearly not adept at using it. She was continuously at a disadvantage in the fight against the monster.
The monster seemed to relish the pleasure of tormenting its prey and was not in a rush to deliver the killing blow to Wang Qianqian.
But at that moment, it sensed an unprecedentedly powerful danger rapidly approaching.
At the sound of Li Chen’s voice, Wang Qianqian’s face also revealed an undeniable excitement. Turning her head, she saw Li Chen rushing towards her.
"Be careful!"
Just when Wang Qianqian’s attention was diverted, a claw of the monster suddenly lunged towards her chest.
Seeing this scenario unfold, Li Chen’s eyes widened as his body’s True Qi erupted in an instant.
"Scram!!"
With speed pushed to the utmost limit, Li Chen was instantly at the monster’s side, his fist colliding fiercely with the monster’s claw.
"Boom!!"
Standing protectively in front of Wang Qianqian, Li Chen was immovable, while the monster was sent flying backward in an instant, crashing heavily against the stone wall.
Upon closer inspection, the monster’s entire claw was completely shattered.
Li Chen’s angry punch had completely destroyed it.
This was a testament to the terrifying nature of Li Chen’s furious attack.
"Qianqian, are you alright?" Only then did Li Chen turn slightly to look at Wang Qianqian behind him and ask.
"I’m fine." Wang Qianqian nodded, her face lighting up with joy upon seeing Li Chen.
In this place where darkness prevailed indefinitely, even resting required vigilance against monster attacks, not to mention the increased fear for a girl in such a ghastly place.
The sight of Li Chen brought an undeniable joy to Wang Qianqian’s face.
"You... you finally came!"
"I’m here!" Li Chen reached out and tightly grasped Wang Qianqian’s somewhat cold hand, then turned his head to look at the monster that, after being seriously injured by Li Chen’s strike, had now become completely enraged.
The creature was shaped like a pangolin but was covered in spikes not seen on a normal pangolin, spikes that appeared incredibly terrifying.
Just laying eyes on this creature allowed one to sense the sharpness emanating from its body.
Li Chen glanced at the dreadful spikes, which could probably even pierce through a tiger.
Moreover, the creature had strength that had clearly reached the Yellow Rank, so even Li Chen had to face it with utmost caution.
"Qianqian, wait here while I take care of this guy," Li Chen spoke to Wang Qianqian behind him.
The next moment, Li Chen’s figure vanished from in front of Wang Qianqian.
As Li Chen moved, the pangolin-like creature also made its move.
Without even glancing at Li Chen’s trajectory, it curled its entire body inside its protective shell, its spikes raised high, looking like a hedgehog.
Clearly, though, compared with a hedgehog, these spikes posed a much greater threat.
Seeing this sight, a cold smile appeared on Li Chen’s face.
Ignoring the sharp barbs, Li Chen reached out towards the monster. Under the astonished gazes of An Qin, the Nether Army, and the others who had already arrived, Li Chen’s palm, wrapped in True Qi, actually grabbed the creature’s spinal barbs.
With a fierce burst of strength, Li Chen lifted the entire creature.
"Boom!"
The monster made intimate contact with the ground, smashing into it heavily.
"Boom!"
A second time!
"Boom! Boom! Boom..."
Under Li Chen’s relentless pounding, he noticed that the barbs on the creature’s body were finally starting to loosen, revealing gaps between them.
Seeing his chance, Li Chen didn’t hesitate to reach for the monster’s belly.
"Hisss!"
Accompanied by a grating and unpleasant sound, Li Chen tore open the creature’s stomach.
From its mouth, a harrowing roar was emitted, its remaining claw trying to retaliate against Li Chen, but it found it could no longer swing.
Because Li Chen’s hand, which had been inside its abdomen, had moved to its neck.
"Crack!"
With a clear and audible sound of breaking bones, Li Chen had twisted the monster’s neck, snapping it.
The once raised claw now hung limply.
"Thump!"
Casually throwing the monster to the side, traces of its blood still remained on Li Chen’s face and body.
It didn’t matter what it was; as long as it tried to harm Wang Qianqian, it was Li Chen’s enemy, and he had no intention of showing any mercy to his enemies.
Having killed the monster, Li Chen then strode over to Wang Qianqian’s side.
"Qianqian, you... you’re really still alive!" Even Li Chen couldn’t help but reveal an incredulous look on his face when he saw Wang Qianqian.
Actually, in his heart, he didn’t truly believe Wang Qianqian had much chance of survival, especially after encountering so many monsters along the way.
It’s just that he had never been willing to admit this to himself.
But this time, Li Chen found that his estimation was wrong.
"I..." Wang Qianqian looked at Li Chen, her lips pressed tightly together to stop herself from crying, but her grip on his hand showed no sign of loosening.
The two embraced tightly, and before long, their lips met and they began to kiss passionately in the dimness of the Relic.
"Cough, cough!"
Just then, a discordant voice interrupted their impassioned embrace.
Noticing An Qin’s somewhat displeased look, Li Chen scratched his head in embarrassment, "Um, Qianqian, tell me about your experiences after entering the Relic."
Wang Qianqian nodded, glanced at An Qin to the side, and began to speak, "Initially, after entering the Relic, I thought I was definitely doomed, but the Seven-Colored Being didn’t attack me; it just disappeared."
"The place I first entered was very dark, and I couldn’t find anything else, so I just kept walking further inside," Wang Qianqian continued.
"Later on, I encountered a group of monsters and nearly died at their hands, but then, an old grandfather appeared and saved me."
"Grandfather?" Li Chen raised his eyebrows.
"Yes, that grandfather was very kind. He drove off those monsters for me, gave me water and food, and at the end, seemed to say some strange things like I was going to be alright."
Hearing Wang Qianqian’s words, Li Chen felt a surge of joy and quickly extended his hand to send True Qi into her body to examine her.
Indeed, Wang Qianqian’s body still contained a powerful energy, but the aura of the Black General had disappeared.
"What did the old grandfather look like?" Li Chen urgently asked.
After Wang Qianqian provided a description,
Li Chen’s face brimmed with even greater elation, "That’s... my Great Grandfather! Indeed, they are still inside the Relic! They saved Qianqian!"
Hearing Li Chen’s words, An Qin’s face showed a strange expression as she glanced at Wang Qianqian, her eyes revealing a trace of hostility that even she hadn’t noticed.
"They really did intervene to save this girl! Hmph!"
"Oh, and there’s this thing." Wang Qianqian then seemed to suddenly recall something and took out something resembling a Bagua Mirror from her pocket and handed it to Li Chen.
"This is what the old man asked me to give you," Wang Qianqian said.
"This..." Seeing the object, Li Chen was unfazed, but An Qin’s face suddenly changed.
Before An Qin could speak, suddenly, eerie footsteps approached from one side.
All three turned to look.
"That’s..." An Qin’s face grew serious.
Li Chen put away the item, his expression instantly darkening.
"The Seven-Colored Being!"
