"With so many dead spirit ghosts surrounding us, how can we possibly pick the Soul Summoning Grass?"
Seeing the dense, bobbing dead spirit ghosts in the River of Oblivion, Lian Hongshang and the other two won felt a chill run down their spines.
These are all low-level ghosts, with poor individual combat abilities, but even ants can bite an elephant to death; it’s hard to withstand their sheer numbers.
Even Li Chen, upon seeing so many ghosts surrounding him, would feel a chill run down his spine.
Just as Li Chen was considering whether to use the Youzhou Tripod to forcibly drive away these ghosts and seize the Soul Summoning Grass in the opportunity, a sudden great wave rose over the River of Oblivion.
Imdiately, they saw a monster as large as a hill with two lanterns hanging from it, rising from the turbulent riverbed.
Its eyes glowed a mix of ghostly green and deep red, ethereal yet deathly silent, sending shivers down their spines. It had a very hard shell, resembling a giant sea turtle.
"It’s the Guppy Turtle, I saw it last ti with my father!"
Seeing this behemoth, the Little Demon Immortal cried out in a trembling voice.
Apparently, this creature called the Guppy Turtle had once left a significant psychological shadow on her.
"Hoo hoo!"
The Guppy Turtle snorted two puffs of white smoke from its nose before opening its bloody maw and swimming towards the Soul Summoning Grass at the center of the River of Oblivion.
The dead spirit ghosts in front of it were swallowed whole, like a blue whale eating fish and shrimp.
The sudden appearance of the Guppy Turtle instantly stirred up a thousand huge waves, making the entire River of Oblivion seem like a boiling pot of oil. Various skeletons erged and rolled in waves. The dead spirit ghosts inside also ran around crazily.
"Oh no, the Guppy Turtle’s target is the Soul Summoning Grass!"
Lian Hongshang, ever observant, saw that the Guppy Turtle was not chasing these fleeing dead spirit ghosts but was instead heading straight for the Soul Summoning Grass. She imdiately warned Li Chen.
Li Chen saw that the situation was at a critical mont; if the Guppy Turtle seized the Soul Summoning Grass and swam to the depths of the River of Oblivion, they would have no hope of retrieving it.
In this case, it ant their mission was a complete failure.
Not only would the Little Demon Immortal’s mother Bai Shuang be unable to resurrect, but his hope of acquiring the Yu Emperor’s Treasure Cauldron from the Demon Emperor would also disappear.
Unless he forcibly seized the cauldron!
But doing so would an an irrevocable rupture with the Demon Emperor, and even the entire Demon Clan; a fight to the death.
This was clearly not the result he wanted!
With this in mind, Li Chen did not hesitate and decisively said, "I’ll hold this thing back, you guys grab the Soul Summoning Grass. Once you have it, do not get tangled with the ghosts inside, get to the shore imdiately!"
Before his words fell, Li Chen’s figure drew a silver-white arc, like a dragonfly skimming the surface, stepping on a piece of bone inside, and leaping up.
The Seven-star Dragon Abyss simultaneously unsheathed, quickly slashing a sword shadow like a rainbow after the rain, spanning the River of Oblivion and extending towards the Guppy Turtle.
The Guppy Turtle, sensing danger approaching, retracted its head like lightning into its shell.
Li Chen’s sword struck precisely on the turtle shell.
"Dang clang!"
The impact produced a sound like a Copper Bell, deep and resonant.
This unexpected strike could severely injure a Nascent Soul Great Power on the spot.
However, it only left a very shallow sword mark on the turtle shell of the Guppy Turtle.
The most troubleso part was that, with a rush of the river water, the sword mark disappeared.
This outco left Li Chen very surprised.
Fortunately, their purpose this ti was not to slay this creature but rely to hold it for a while, allowing the Little Demon Immortal and her group to seize the Soul Summoning Grass.
Otherwise, given the Guppy Turtle’s tough shell and terrifying self-healing ability, even if Li Chen used all his tricks, it was uncertain whether he could slay it.
"Hoo hoo, hoo hoo!"
Seeing Li Chen, the Guppy Turtle’s lantern-like eyes suddenly emitted a dark red glow.
Apparently, it was also surprised by Li Chen’s arrival.
Moreover, the River of Oblivion is a gathering place for ghosts, rarely visited by living beings.
Soon, the Guppy Turtle’s eyes on its head rotated twice. It discovered three more living beings, targeting the Soul Summoning Spirit Grass it had been guarding, and couldn’t help but beco furious.
"Hoo hoo!"
The Guppy Turtle snorted two more puffs of white smoke from its nose!
White smoke enveloped it like a mist, lingering.
This was a sign of the Guppy Turtle’s rage; the denser the white smoke, the higher its rage.
The River of Oblivion, which had just cald, began to surge anew.
Soon, it sent forth a great silver wave carrying skeletons, skulls, dead spirits, and ghosts, overwhelming Li Chen.
The River of Oblivion’s water, compared to ordinary river water, not only contained extre toxins but also had a corrosion strength a thousand tis more intense than King’s Water.
Even Li Chen’s scalp tingled at this mont.
Li Chen clasped his hands, quickly muttering a magic spell to form a Golden Bell Defense, enveloping himself within it.
The roiling river water struck madly against the golden bell, like water overflows Jin Shan, raising a thousand piles of snow as rocks broke through the air.
"Hoo hoo!"
The Guppy Turtle charged forth, opening its bloody maw to swallow Li Chen.
At this split second, the Seven-star Dragon Abyss in Li Chen’s hand soared, tracing a brilliant lightning bolt, striking the Guppy Turtle’s mouth.
The Guppy Turtle felt the pain, emitting a "humphing" sound as it quickly retracted.
"Chen, the Soul Summoning Grass is in hand!"
Xin Qingxue snatched the Soul Summoning Grass and hurriedly shouted to Li Chen.
By then, their situation was also precarious.
The Soul Summoning Grass was the only and final hope for the resurrection of thousands of ghosts in the River of Oblivion.
And now, with a few living beings suddenly intruding to forcibly seize this last hope, how could the ghosts let it go?
Countless dead spirit ghosts surged like moths to a fla, charging forward relentlessly.
Among the three won, the Little Demon Immortal had the strongest demonic power, and the Lotus Platform and Six Ding and Six Jia she held were top-grade magical treasures of the ti.
So she took the lead at the forefront.
Lian Hongshang and Xin Qingxue fought and retreated to guard the Little Demon Immortal’s flanks.
The three won ford a triangular battle formation, fighting and retreating, slowly approaching the shore.
However, just as they were about to reach the shore, they were blocked suddenly by a Bone Dragon.
This Bone Dragon, before its death, was a sixth-level Demon Beast, which perished during its advancent when it encountered a Heavenly Tribulation.
Although its flesh had entirely decayed, a shred of its obsession with life still lingered on the bones, not dissipating until now.
The sudden appearance of the Bone Dragon blocked the retreat of Lian Hongshang, the Little Demon Immortal, and Xin Qingxue.
Especially Xin Qingxue, holding the Soul Summoning Grass, beca the Bone Dragon’s primary target. The stress was imnse at that mont.
Fortunately, she had the Ice Soul, the treasure of Dragon Ascending Valley, which could freeze the surrounding river water or even the void, thereby slowing down the Bone Dragon’s attack speed.
Otherwise, not only would they fail to protect the Soul Summoning Grass, but they themselves would beco prey for the Bone Dragon.
Seeing this, Li Chen was greatly alard. He struck a "Sky Flipping Seal" in midair, repelling the Guppy Turtle.
Imdiately, his body broke the sound barrier quickly, reaching a terrifying fifty tis the speed of sound. With the Seven-star Dragon Abyss in hand, majestic as thunder, mighty like rivers and seas, it pierced through the air towards the Bone Dragon.
"Crack!"
The Bone Dragon’s bones were severed on the spot, scattering across the River of Oblivion.
Taking advantage of the mont, Li Chen grabbed Xin Qingxue and forcefully hurled her towards the riverbank.
"Hurry up and go!"
After sending off Xin Qingxue, Li Chen urgently called out to the Little Demon Immortal and Lian Hongshang.
"I’ll hold off these creatures, you two get to the shore quickly!"
