Chapter 172: Life and Death Cave!

Chapter 172: Chapter 172: Life and Death Cave!

The dark figure, uncertain whether it was a man or a demon beast, was clearly frightened of him. If Lu Chen wanted to leave this place or pursue the reason, he had to catch up!

Lu Chen still held the jade bottle in his mouth, and then with a spear in one hand and a sword in the other, he began climbing up the rock wall.

The reason he did so was his fear that the dark shadow might suddenly attack from above, leaving him powerless to respond. At the least, he might use the Spiritual Liquid in the jade bottle to counterattack with fire!

Fortunately, as Lu Chen climbed upwards, he reached the mouth of the cave without encountering any abnormalities.

After steadying his position, Lu Chen put his flying sword into his storage bag, and carefully held the jade bottle with his hand as he looked into the cave.

But instantly, he frowned.

Not far from the entrance of the cave, the path split into two.

This was not a problem in itself, but the problem was that above each fork in the path, there were two large characters inscribed!

"Life!"

"Death!"

Lu Chen narrowed his eyes. What did this mean?

No matter if this cave controlled a person’s life and death, the dark figure from before...

must have entered one of them!

So after all, was it life or death?

Lu Chen didn’t rush forward. No matter how much he thought about it, there was nothing to use as a reference.

Out of options, he decided to use the Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique, directing his gaze towards the character for "life".

Suddenly, the character for "life" seemed to come to life and flew toward Lu Chen!

"Not good!"

Feeling the mysterious force with the "life" character, Lu Chen hastily held up his spear and executed a Heavenly Inquiry Spear technique!

"Boom!"

Overwhelming Spiritual Power directly passed through this "life" character and rushed into the corresponding fork in the path, followed by a loud noise!

Lu Chen then realized that nothing had happened in front of him!

"An illusion? Could this be an Illusion Array?"

He immediately remembered that he had never been able to leave the mine, which is why he had come here to investigate.

But unexpectedly, even the Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique couldn’t see through it...

"Anyway, since I’ve looked at it, I might as well take a look at the ’death’ character’s cave!"

Lu Chen clenched his spear and then, once again, used the Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique to look at the "death" character.

The result was the same as before; the "death" character flew towards him.

But this time, Lu Chen’s gaze sharpened, and he turned the bottle upside down, pouring out the Spiritual Liquid!

"Whoosh—"

The Spiritual Liquid seemed to ignite upon contact with the air, and the roaring fire quickly enveloped the "death" character!

Yet who would have thought that this "death" character, as if intangible, simply passed through the pure Spiritual Liquid Fire and thunderously embedded itself in Lu Chen’s forearm!

"Wait, something’s not right!"

Lu Chen suddenly felt something abnormal in his body and quickly extended both arms to take a closer look.

To see, on the insides of his forearms, the hand that held the spear now bore a "life" character tattoo, while the hand that held the jade bottle now showed a "death" character!

"This isn’t an illusion?"

Lu Chen took a sharp intake of breath, his gaze shifting back and forth between the "life and death" characters and the entrance to the forked paths.

"What in the world is going on here?"

His instincts told him that the mine might contain a labyrinth within a labyrinth!

Perhaps this mine tunnel was the way out of the array.

It might also be a dead end!

"But what about the dark figure?"

Lu Chen pulled back his gaze, one hand bearing life, the other death. He had never experienced such an anomaly before.

But he also knew that in such situations, it was even more crucial to remain calm.

Otherwise, it was very likely that one misstep would lead to further errors, ultimately stepping onto the road to the netherworld!

"Since the Spiritual Liquid can’t burn away these characters, I might as well try using it to burn through one of the caves!"

Lu Chen narrowed his eyes, raised his left hand, aimed the opening of the bottle towards the "death" path, and then with a thought, the pure and overwhelming Spiritual Liquid surged out, rushing towards the depths of the cave!
