Chapter 605: Chapter 605: Anomaly in the Wilderness!

Lu Chen and Li Yanran weren’t moving fast.

This allowed Lu Chen to closely observe the situation of Chu Aosheng and the others.

Indeed, they worked seamlessly together. Two of them guarded the barrier, while the other two had clear roles: one used the Imperial Command to sever the ropes of the storage bags tied around their waists, and the other employed the technique of remote Artifact Control to collect the storage bags into their hands.

The storage bags of more than ten cultivators added up to quite a haul.

However, Lu Chen harbored no covetous thoughts.

If he had no desire even for the treasure of this place, why would he covet their storage bags?

In the back of his mind, he had a premonition.

Those ancient beasts were not so simple!

Just as Lu Chen was pondering this, a familiar scene appeared above the barrier again!

The spiritual light flowed, and the scenery of the mountains and forests suddenly turned to a grayish-white color!

Lu Chen’s steps faltered, and he silently sensed that a calamity was about to occur, definitely related to the beasts over there!

The next moment, a beast charged out with a wide-open maw, biting towards Chu Aosheng and his companion who were guarding the spot!

"Not good!"

Chu Aosheng’s reaction was extremely fast, but his Lifebound Magic Weapon, the Shadowless Sword, was too slender. Against such a massive creature, it was like a mere embroidery needle!

Even if it could injure the beast, it couldn’t stop its charge!

In the blink of an eye, Chu Aosheng was bitten in two by the beast at the waist!

"Big brother!"

A cry of alarm came from beside him, and he hurriedly wielded his Shadowless Sword, aiming for the beast’s eyes!

The body of the beast was covered in scales that seemed impregnable, its eyes the only likely point of injury!

But as the sword was raised, another beast emerged from the other side of the barrier!

A tongue a dozen feet long, studded with backwards-facing barbs, snagged him and then coiled him into its mouth!

The two who were retrieving the storage bags heard the commotion, only to find Chu Aosheng and Chu Aobin had already been killed by the beasts, dying with their eyes wide open!

Nobody expected that these beasts were using the corpses of the previous cultivators as bait to lure them to collect the storage bags!

Lu Chen had indeed heard from Chu Aosheng before that the biggest difference with ancient beasts was their human-like intelligence, even surpassing humans, which was why he never treated these beasts as ordinary ones!

Yet, the event was far from over.

From the appearance of the beasts to the death of the two men, only a few breaths of time had passed!

The surviving brothers, Chu Aowen and Chu Aowu, had just turned their heads!

And from the barrier, more beasts sprang out!

Two!

Five!

Eight!

Ten!

Fifteen!

A total of fifteen beasts of various shapes, Chu Aowen and Chu Aowu had no chance to resist and were torn into pieces!

The newly acquired storage bags were scattered on the ground, stained with blood and flesh!

Then, these beasts suddenly raised their heads, their eyes directly targeting Lu Chen!

Lu Chen watched closely and felt a chill run down his spine, his steps trembling slightly!

These beasts...

Were entirely different from the ones he had frozen before!

What to do!

While Lu Chen was in shock, the beasts suddenly retreated back to the original wasteland!

Lu Chen was stunned, why did they just leave like that?

Were they trying to lure us over there?

"Lu Chen, what’s wrong?"

Li Yanran too had clearly sensed the change in Lu Chen’s aura and turned her head to ask.

The death of the four from Xuanyun Sect had not gone unnoticed by her, and she surmised it must be the work of the beasts.

It was just that she hadn’t turned her head to look.

But as she asked Lu Chen, her peripheral vision caught sight of something in the distance.

Although it was unclear, she could still see the beasts retreating in order.

"They didn’t chase after us, why are you nervous?"

Li Yanran’s expression and tone were indifferent.

"It’s precisely because they didn’t chase after us that this place seems very dangerous."

Lu Chen also finally remembered that this was forbidden land.

It was a deadly trap set by the top sects of the Eastern Domain to eliminate the geniuses of the other domains!

And with that thought, a flash of insight crossed Lu Chen’s mind!

The name ’forbidden land’ was mentioned in the letter from Kong Wu!

He had overlooked something!

The information he got at the Casting Gear Pavilion was that the Haotian Sect had discovered a new secret realm!

But that contradicted the content of the letter!

So...

The Haotian Secret Realm must have been discovered by the Haotian Sect long ago, and it was even possible that someone had entered it before!

Otherwise, how would it have acquired the name ’forbidden land’?

How could they have arranged such a plan?

Lu Chen suddenly withdrew his gaze and focused on Li Yanran, "We need to leave this place as quickly as possible!"

Li Yanran met Lu Chen’s gaze and said, "Gentle Sister said, said you are my senior brother, I’ll listen to you for now!"

Lu Chen was momentarily at a loss for words, but considering Li Yanran’s nature, and the fact that she didn’t recognize him, it seemed normal.

As long as she didn’t sing a different tune, that would be fine.

Both of them simultaneously employed Artifact Control to fly and soared into the sky.

But when they returned to the location of the previous barrier, the wasteland was empty.

The ice sculptures that Lu Chen had frozen were nowhere to be found!

It was as if...

They had never been there at all!
