Chapter 678: Nanqi City! Strange Events! The Monster Red Blood!

Finally one day, they came to an open space.

In the middle of the open space stood an ancient altar, on which were placed several treasures emitting brilliant light.

These treasures were obviously the opportunities and treasures they had been looking for.

Luo Chen and Liang Qi looked at each other, and they saw excitement and expectation in each other's eyes.

They walked towards the altar carefully, fearing that they would disturb some unknown existence.

But when they really touched those treasures, nothing unexpected happened.

It turned out that these treasures were not evil things but spiritual objects condensed from the natural essence of heaven and earth.

They can improve the cultivation and understanding of the cultivators and make the road of cultivation smoother.

Luo Chen and Liang Qi each chose a treasure suitable for themselves and solemnly put it in their pockets.

They knew that these treasures would be an important helper in their future cultivation.

Before leaving the valley, Luo Chen and Liang Qi also thanked the old hunter and left enough rewards as a thank you.

They knew that without the guidance and help of the old hunter, they might never find this treasure land.

Then Luo Chen and Liang Qi left.

Liang Qi planned to continue selling the goods he had brought with great difficulty.

Luo Chen followed Liang Qi's team.

Anyway, he had nothing to do.

So he followed and took a look.

......

Nanqi City.

This was Liang Qi's destination.

"Brother Luo, we're here."

"It is said that Nanqi City is extremely prosperous, with a permanent population of more than two million. Nanqi City is the largest city nearby."

Nanqi City, this shining pearl standing in the vast territory, is indeed worthy of its reputation.

The city wall is towering into the sky, built of bluestone, and it is still very solid after wind, frost, rain and snow, as if it can resist all intrusions in the world.

Above the city gate, the three characters "Nanqi City" are engraved on a huge plaque, with vigorous strokes and magnificent momentum, attracting people to stop and look up.

Luo Chen and Liang Qi rode slowly into the city, and the view in front of them suddenly became clear.

On both sides of the street, there are many shops with colorful signs, which are very lively.

Pedestrians are crowded, the vendors' hawking and customers' bargaining are intertwined, forming a vivid symphony of the market.

Luo Chen couldn't help but secretly admire that the prosperity of Nanqi City was far beyond his previous imagination.

They found an inn to settle down. After a short rest, Liang Qi couldn't wait to take Luo Chen to the market.

The market is full of goods, from precious medicinal materials, rare minerals, to exquisite handicrafts, and tempting delicacies.

Luo Chen was very curious about all this. He walked and looked, stopping from time to time to carefully examine the items he had never seen before.

Liang Qi looked familiar with the way. He took Luo Chen through the crowd and greeted familiar vendors from time to time. Obviously, he had a lot of connections here.

As he walked, he introduced the customs and people of Nanqi City, as well as various interesting stories and legends to Luo Chen.

Luo Chen listened with great interest, and his understanding of the city gradually deepened.

After being tired of walking around, they found a teahouse to sit down and taste the unique tea of ​​Nanqi City.

Inside the teahouse, the environment is elegant, and the sound of the piano is melodious, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.

Luo Chen and Liang Qi chatted while drinking tea, enjoying this rare leisure time.

Suddenly, a noise came from outside the teahouse, breaking the tranquility of the room.

Luo Chen and Liang Qi looked out the window at the same time, and saw a group of young men and women in gorgeous clothes surrounded by a young man walked in.

The young man had a handsome face and a majestic demeanor. The maids and guards who followed him seemed well-trained and extraordinary.

The guests in the teahouse cast curious glances and talked about it.

Luo Chen and Liang Qi also smiled at each other and continued to drink their tea, not intending to pay too much attention to the trivial matters of these wealthy nobles.

However, the young man seemed to be looking for them on purpose, and walked straight to the door of the private room where they were.

He stopped, glanced at Luo Chen and Liang Qi, and then said: "You two look very unfamiliar. Is this your first time in Nanqi City?"

Luo Chen frowned slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable.

But he also knew that this was Nanqi City after all, someone else's territory, and he should not act rashly.

So he smiled slightly and replied politely: "Yes, it is indeed our first time in Nanqi City. I wonder if you have any advice?"

The young man heard this and then said: "It's not a matter of advice. I just think you two are extraordinary and want to make friends. I wonder if you two are willing to do me a favor?"

Luo Chen was secretly on guard in his heart, but his face remained calm.

He looked at Liang Qi, and saw that Liang Qi also had a vigilant look on his face.

They exchanged glances and understood each other's meaning.

This young man has bad intentions, so we must be careful in dealing with him.

Luo Chen smiled and said, "It is hard to refuse your kindness, so we are willing to make friends with you. However, we are new here and don't know much about Nanqi City. I am afraid that we will spoil your interest."

The young man didn't seem to care about Luo Chen's refusal. He waved his hand and said, "It's okay. I can take you to understand the places you don't know. Let's go. I will take you to a good place."

He turned around and was about to leave.

Luo Chen and Liang Qi looked at each other. Although they were reluctant, they couldn't refuse directly.

So, they followed the young master out of the teahouse.

Along the way, the young master kept introducing them to the scenic spots and special delicacies of Nan Qi City, but Luo Chen and Liang Qi both listened absentmindedly. They knew that this young master would never invite them to play so simply. There must be an ulterior motive behind it.

Sure enough, when they arrived in front of a luxurious mansion, the young man's face suddenly became serious.

He turned to Luo Chen and Liang Qi and said, "You two, this is my residence. I invite you here today because I actually want to ask your help for something important."

Luo Chen and Liang Qi were shocked when they heard this.

They knew that this young man had finally revealed his true purpose.

But they also understand that there is no way out at this time and they can only deal with it.

The young master continued: "A strange thing has happened to my family recently. Someone disappears inexplicably every night. I sent people to investigate for a long time, but they still couldn't find any clues. I heard that the two are practitioners with extraordinary powers. I have the ability, so I would like to ask you to help find out the truth of this matter.”

Luo Chen and Liang Qi looked at each other in shock when they heard this.

They didn't expect that the young master would know their identities, let alone that he would invite them to investigate the case.

But they also know that now that they have entered this situation, it may not be easy to escape unscathed.

Luo Chen pondered for a moment and decided to explore the other party's details first, so he said: "Young master, you are ridiculous. We only have some low skills, how dare we call ourselves practitioners, but since you need us, we will naturally try our best to help you." , but this thing sounds quite strange, I wonder if you are willing to tell us the details? "

Seeing that Luo Chen did not refuse directly, the young master's eyes flashed with joy, and then he nodded and said: "You two, please come with me."

With that said, he led Luo Chen and Liang Qi into the mansion.

Inside the mansion, there are pavilions, carved beams and painted buildings, all showing a sense of luxury.

However, beneath this luxury, there is a hint of uneasiness and depression.

The young master led them through corridors and finally came to a remote courtyard.

"This is where my missing servants last appeared."

The young master said solemnly, with worry in his tone, "Every night, they disappear quietly. No matter how we search, we can't find any trace."

Luochen looked around and saw lush vegetation in the courtyard, but there seemed to be some unknown secret hidden in this vitality.

He closed his eyes, channeled his spiritual power, and tried to sense the abnormalities around him.

However, what surprised him was that apart from the normal fluctuations of spiritual energy, there was no abnormal aura here.

"Brother Liang, do you feel it?"

Luo Chen asked Liang Qi beside him in a low voice.

Liang Qi shook his head and frowned: "No, everything is normal here, but it is this normality that makes me feel uneasy. Maybe we need to wait until night to find out the clues."

Hearing this, the young master showed a trace of anxiety on his face: "But I can't wait any longer. Every extra day I wait, more people may suffer misfortune. I implore you two to find out the truth as soon as possible and rescue those missing people." people."

Luo Chen and Liang Qi looked at each other and saw firmness and determination in each other's eyes.

They knew that this was not only to help the young master, but also to uncover the truth hidden behind it and protect the peace of this land.

"Don't worry, sir, we will do our best."

Luo Chen solemnly promised.

So, they decided to stay in the mansion and wait for the night to come.

The night fell, everything was silent, and the entire mansion was immersed in silence.

However, beneath this silence, there is an unknown crisis.

Luo Chen and Liang Qi held their breaths and carefully walked through every corner of the mansion.

They know that this is the time when those disappearances occur and they must remain vigilant at all times.

Suddenly, a faint sound of wind caught their attention.

Luo Chen and Liang Qi looked at each other and immediately chased after him.

They passed through corridors and finally arrived at the remote courtyard.

At this time, the scene in the courtyard had undergone earth-shaking changes.

The originally lush vegetation became withered and withered, and a strange smell filled the air.

In a corner of the courtyard, a vague figure slowly emerged.

"Who is it?"

Luo Chen shouted loudly, his spiritual power surged, and his figure shot out, heading straight for the blurry figure.

However, when he got closer to the figure, he found that it was not a person, but a huge monster.

The monster's body was covered with blood-red scales, its eyes were like torches, and its mouth showed sharp fangs, making it appear extremely ferocious.

"Is this...the red blood of a monster?"

Liang Qi exclaimed, obviously recognizing the identity of this monster: "How did it appear here? Could it be that all those missing people were harmed by it?"

Luo Chen didn't answer, his eyes were fixed on the demonic beast Crimson Blood, and his heart was full of vigilance.

He knew that the strength of this monster was extraordinary and he had to deal with it carefully.

The monster Chixue also seemed to feel the threat from Luo Chen and Liang Qi. It let out a deafening roar, and its figure suddenly increased several times, standing in the courtyard like a hill.

"Get ready to fight!"

Luo Chen said in a deep voice. He knew that he and Liang Qi had no way to retreat and could only fight to the end.

Liang Qi heard this and took a deep breath. He clenched his hands into fists and his spiritual power surged. He was obviously ready for the battle.

The two stood back to back, looking around vigilantly to prevent the monster Red Blood from suddenly attacking.

The Red Blood monster roared, and cruel light flashed in its blood-red eyes. Its huge body cast a huge shadow on the ground, making the whole courtyard look more gloomy and terrifying.

Luo Chen and Liang Qi could feel the powerful pressure emanating from it. It was a sense of oppression from the depths of the ancient blood, which made people palpitate.

"Brother Liang, we have to find a way to lead it away and not let it wreak havoc in the mansion."

Luo Chen whispered to Liang Qi. He knew that if the monster got out of control in the mansion, the consequences would be disastrous.

Liang Qi nodded, and he quickly took out a talisman from his arms. This was a talisman that he accidentally got on the road of cultivation, which could instantly teleport the user to a depth of dozens of meters underground.

He planned to use this talisman to lure away the monster and create an opportunity for Luo Chen to attack.

"Brother Luo, be careful!"

Liang Qi shouted, then crushed the talisman, and his figure flashed and disappeared under the ground.

Seeing this, the red-blooded monster roared, and its huge body suddenly jumped towards the place where Liang Qi disappeared.

However, when it found that there was only a shallow pit left on the ground, it roared angrily, and its huge tail swept around, smashing the trees and rockery in the courtyard to pieces.

Luo Chen took the opportunity to launch an attack. His figure shuttled around the monster like a ghost, using his flexible body to avoid the monster's attack, while looking for its flaws.

He knew that it was not wise to confront such a powerful monster head-on, and he must find an opportunity to give it a fatal blow.

After a fierce battle, Luo Chen finally found a weakness of the monster, its belly.

Although it was covered with thick scales, it seemed softer than other places.

Luo Chen was delighted and immediately concentrated all his spiritual power to prepare for the final attack.

He took a deep breath, and his body shot out like an arrow from a string, rushing towards the monster's belly.

At the moment of approaching the monster, he put his hands together, and his spiritual power gathered into a dazzling sword light, which stabbed fiercely into the monster's belly.

"Boom!"

A loud noise came, and the sword light collided with the monster's scales, bursting out with dazzling light.

The monster roared in pain, and its huge body trembled violently.
