Chapter 570: Invisible Spatial Rifts

Lin Zhangqing did not know where he was, but he dared not waste too much time here.

He first released Chu Yi and Chu Er from the Spirit Beast Bracelet.

Then he himself flew on his sword to a height of three or four hundred zhang, and after looking around, he saw a blurry mountain range in the distance.

After communicating with Chu Yi and the others, he decided to go in that direction to take a look, so he switched to the Ink Cloud Battle Mount and began to fly there.

However, after flying for only a short while, Chu Er suddenly let out a sharp, mournful cry, then spun and plummeted toward the ground!

This gave him a huge fright, but fortunately, Chu Yi's reaction speed was also very fast; it dived directly and finally caught Chu Er before it hit the ground!

Lin Zhangqing immediately opened his divine sense to the fullest and released all the Second-Tier Purple Crystal Scorpions and Shock-Spirit Cicadas.

He had them form two layers of defensive circles around himself, Chu Yi, and Chu Er.

Protecting them, he thought there must be enemies nearby; otherwise, Chu Er wouldn't have been injured suddenly!

However, after being on high alert for a while, there was no movement around, and Lin Zhangqing, worried about Chu Er's condition, immediately went over to check.

After a full-body examination, he found that about one-fifth of its left wing had been cut off by something unknown.

No wonder Chu Er suddenly lost control and fell from the sky.

Moreover, the wound on Chu Er's wing was very smooth, but it was bleeding continuously. Lin Zhangqing hurriedly fed it healing medicine and then helped it treat the wound.

Only then did he start communicating with Chu Er, asking if it had seen what had injured it.

However, Chu Er fed back that it didn't know what happened either; it was suddenly injured silently and without any warning.

Hearing this answer, Lin Zhangqing's heart sank; this kind of thing that couldn't be touched or seen, and whose attacks were so silent, was the most terrifying!

The problem was that he himself hadn't felt any spiritual energy fluctuations, which was the most fatal part! However, he still received Chu Yi and Chu Er into the Spirit Beast Bracelet first; in this situation, leaving them outside was useless.

And since Chu Er was injured, it was better to let them go inside and rest first!

But even at this point, there was still no movement around.

Lin Zhangqing couldn't help but admire it greatly; this thing's patience was too good!

He had been keeping his divine sense fully open, covering a range of several hundred zhang around him; if there was any disturbance, he would definitely know!

After another while, there was still no movement, and Lin Zhangqing noticed the part of Chu Er's wing that had been cut off.

His heart stirred, and he had a few Second-Tier Purple Crystal Scorpions go over and retrieve it.

When Lin Zhangqing got it in his hand, he carefully sensed the cut and was actually able to sense a trace of something different!

That was, he actually sensed a trace of extremely weak spatial power on that section of the wing.

If he hadn't frequently shuttled back and forth between two spaces through Lin Changliu, he wouldn't be so sensitive to spatial power.

Combined with the current situation where this space was about to collapse, Lin Zhangqing boldly guessed that Chu Er might have bumped into a wandering spatial rift. If this were true, then it would be troublesome; the danger level of this secret realm space had instantly increased by more than tenfold!

Even if Lin Zhangqing himself encountered a spatial rift, he would be split in two.

He simply couldn't resist the spatial cutting power, even if his current body had the cultivation of a Second-Tier late-stage body refiner, it would be useless!

At this moment, he missed Lin Changliu immensely; if he could summon it in, that would be great! Lin Changliu, as a special creature with spatial attributes, wasn't afraid of spatial rifts, but unfortunately, Lin Zhangqing didn't dare! He was afraid that before the mission was completed, he would cause the entire secret realm space to collapse!

He still wanted to get the spot for the Outer Sect of the Medicine King Sect; the secret realm space couldn't collapse now, at least not until he got his hands on the Wood Tooth Crystal.

However, if it were spatial rifts, then this thing could appear anywhere at any time.

He didn't seem to have anything that could effectively resist it! Suddenly, his heart stirred; he remembered that he had once obtained a Great Void Teleportation Token! But he didn't know if the Great Void Teleportation Token would be effective in this situation, but Lin Zhangqing still took the teleportation token out.

And he activated it; ever since Lin Changliu had tapped on the teleportation token last time, Lin Zhangqing knew how to use it!

A transparent light shield about a zhang in radius perfectly enveloped Lin Zhangqing.

However, this thing was a high-grade treasure, and he simply didn't have the ability to maintain the operation of the teleportation token for a long time.

This thing could only be used at critical moments, so after weighing it slightly, he stopped the operation of the teleportation token.

Then he recalled all the Second-Tier Purple Crystal Scorpions and Second-Tier Shock-Spirit Cicadas into the Spirit Beast Bracelet.

He only left thirty-three First-Tier Shock-Spirit Cicadas outside, and arranged twelve of them to form a shield, three zhang away from Lin Zhangqing, to scout the path ahead for him.

The remaining twenty-one landed behind his back; there was no better way, so he had to use a crude method!

It was impossible for him, the master, to go and "step on the mines" himself; such things were naturally arranged for the First-Tier Shock-Spirit Cicadas, which had the lowest value!

Sure enough, after flying forward for another ten-plus miles, two of the Shock-Spirit Cicadas scouting the path ahead were suddenly and silently split in two.

Lin Zhangqing immediately felt as if his divine soul had been pricked by two needles, feeling very uncomfortable, and his heart felt inexplicably distressed.

He knew this was because the two Shock-Spirit Cicadas he had contracted had died.

At this moment, he stopped immediately, not daring to advance any further!

Then he took a captured spiritual artifact flying sword and probed that area; the next moment, the spiritual artifact flying sword was broken in two! After trying a few more times and confirming the size and range of the spatial rift, he could have left and continued on his way!

But Lin Zhangqing weighed it in his heart and still wanted to try the Great Void Teleportation Token to see if it could resist the spatial rift.

So after activating the teleportation token, he carefully controlled the transparent light shield to approach that spatial rift.

The result made Lin Zhangqing very satisfied; the transparent light shield did not break.

But just in case, he took another spiritual artifact flying sword and probed that area; sure enough, nothing happened, and the spiritual artifact flying sword was intact this time.
