I Became Invincible After Sweeping The Floor For 70 Years - Chapter 303
303 Stone Stele
When Qin Chen told them his choice, the big scorpion and Yuji nodded. Even if they had to face a 90% chance of death, they were willing to follow Qin Chen. After all, even if they turned back now, they would still die.
Qin Chen nodded and walked in front with the innate sword embryo in his hand. The big scorpion and Yuji followed closely behind.
The big scorpion was afraid that he would be killed by the red mist, so he took out a rope, which was made of precious celestial materials and was a Supreme Sage weapon. Then, he tied it around Qin Chen, himself, and Yuji.
This way, the three of them could react on time in case of being suddenly attacked. As long as one noticed danger, one could pull the rope and Qin Chen would be able to react immediately.
At that moment, the white fog seemed to have dispersed. Although the visibility of the road ahead was still limited, it was indeed much more visible than before.
!!
Seeing this, Qin Chen hesitated. Should he walk along the path or not? This change was probably caused by red eyes.
But in the end, he still made up his mind. What else could he do? Even if there was a fire pit in front of them, they could only jump in.
At the very least, the innate sword embryo could intimidate the red-eyed creature to a certain extent. If it were those terrifying monsters, they would still attack even if Qin Chen cut off their heads. Those monsters were simply unkillable, so the best way was to continue moving forward.
They had already walked a long way, but the white fog still hadn’t dispersed. God knows how far they were from the mountain.
They didn’t have a choice though. Even if there was a bottomless abyss in front of them, they could only walk on. Compared to the strange and unkillable monsters behind them, Qin Chen and the others were more willing to face the red eyes.
After all, the red eyes seemed to have intelligence. It knew that Qin Chen had an extreme emperor weapon and thus would not take the initiative to attack. At least, up until now, the red eyes had not attacked them after killing the terrifying monster.
Qin Chen and the rest walked on the ground that was submerged in the white fog, walking up the mountain step by step. Along the way, they saw many things on the ground.
There were human bones, unknown bones, and some weapon fragments.
It seemed that a great battle had taken place here.
The red eyes were most likely left in the white mist at that time.
Qin Chen suddenly thought of something. Those unkillable monsters seemed to have once been humans as well. However, they must have encountered something that caused them to look like neither humans nor ghosts.
It had to be said that they were all very powerful. Even a God-realm expert couldn’t withstand a single blow from them, just like chicks that could be crushed at will.
He did not know what would happen further on, so Qin Chen gripped the innate sword embryo and kept sensing the fluctuations in the surroundings.
Currently, he still didn’t know what those strange red eyes were. Whether the creature was a human, a ghost, or a demonic beast was still unknown. He only knew that when those red eyes appeared, the creature had appeared.
The white mist must be the red eyes’ resting place. For the creature to be able to stay in the white mist, it must be very powerful and could easily kill those terrifying monsters.
Not long after, the white jade celestial bell chimed again at the top of the mountain. The sounds were loud and melodious.
It was as if someone was hitting the white jade celestial bell.
At the same time, the big scorpion saw the red eyes beside him. He quickly shouted, “Elder King, the red eyes are behind me!”
Qin Chen immediately turned around with the innate sword embryo in his hand. Unfortunately, he did not see anything. However, he believed in the big scorpion. Those red eyes might have really been behind them just now.
They couldn’t do anything about it though. Qin Chen was just one person. He could only guard the front but not the back. If there was any danger, the big scorpion and Yuji would have to inform him. Following this, he continued to move forward but slowed down his footsteps.
Yuji and the big scorpion couldn’t take another step forward. The gravity on the ancient planet was very strong, and it was a heavy burden on their bodies to keep walking.
However, they didn’t dare to stop even though their bodies were sore and covered in sweat. They knew that the pain was nothing if they were to survive together.
The three continued to walk forward, but the fog was getting thicker and thicker as if they were approaching the most terrifying thing in the depths of the white fog.
Qin Chen slowly threw out the moonstone in his hand. In a place where visibility was low, he decided that it would be safer to throw out a few more moonstones. Along the way, he kept throwing out moonstones from his storage bag.
With that, they could see their way clearly. If the red-eyed creature came again, they would be able to see what it really looked like.
However, Yuji’s sharp eyes noticed something unusual. Not long after they left, something behind them seemed to have shattered the moonstones, and the faint light gradually disappeared into the darkness.
The moonstones on the path that they had treaded on seemed to be getting less and the light slowly disappeared. It was as if the road was slowly shrouded by white fog again.
There was no need to for speculations to even determine who had done such a thing. It must be that red-eye creature who had done it to avoid being exposed.
They didn’t see the red-eye creature’s figure clearly either, as if the moonstones had been extinguished in an instant.
As they walked further ahead, Qin Chen noticed something unusual. He saw a stone stele in the distance. There seemed to be some words carved on the stone stele.
However, the words on the stone stele were unrecognizable.
“Why would a stone stele appear here?” Qin Chen said with a frown.
The big scorpion and Yuji had no idea. They looked at the stone stele as if they were looking at a treasure. Unfortunately, they couldn’t find anything even if they looked at it for their entire lives.
The three continued to move forward, but more and more things appeared on the ground. Not only were there human bones, but also demonic beast bones and broken fragments of weapons and magic items.
This meant that they were getting closer to the most terrifying place. A great battle must have happened in this place in the past, but for some unknown reason, the place had become so strange.
“Could it be a mark left behind by the great battle back then?”
Even after countless years, this place was still extremely dangerous. Only an existence above the quasi-emperor realm could cause such an impact.
If it wasn’t a quasi-emperor, then it must be an ancient great emperor. Coupled with the emperor’s might on the white jade celestial bell, they could make the connection that a battle between ancient great emperors might’ve really occurred here.
