Chapter 29: Exploring the Dangerous Land

The two took a deep breath, operated their Supernatural Ability, and pressed their hands on the seal at the same time.

The ancient runes flickered with ghostly light, and a powerful repulsive force shook them back several steps.

After stabilizing their figures, Ji Chen and Ceng Yue exchanged a glance, firm light shining in their eyes.

"Again!"

They injected Supernatural Ability into the seal again. This time, the repulsive force was even stronger, as if wanting to crush them.

The surrounding space began to distort, making buzzing sounds, making one dizzy.

"Uh..." Ceng Yue groaned, a trace of blood spilling from the corner of her mouth.

Seeing this, Ji Chen hurriedly protected her behind him, gritting his teeth and persisting.

He knew that as long as they pushed a little harder, they could break the seal.

With a loud bang, the seal finally shattered, and a powerful energy fluctuation swept out, destroying all the surrounding trees.

The two were sent flying by this powerful energy impact, crashing heavily to the ground.

"Cough, cough..." Ji Chen struggled to crawl up and helped up the equally embarrassed Ceng Yue, "Are you okay?"

Ceng Yue shook her head, her face a bit pale.

"Let's go in."

The two supported each other and walked into the Relic entrance.

In front of them was a deep passage, and the air was filled with an ancient and mysterious aura.

The walls on both sides of the passage were carved with various strange patterns, emitting faint fluorescent light.

"Be careful, there should be many traps here." Ji Chen reminded.

Ceng Yue nodded, and the two moved forward carefully.

Suddenly, the pattern on the ground ahead flickered, and a powerful space force enveloped them.

"Not good! It's a Space Distortion Trap!" Ji Chen exclaimed.

The two only felt the world spinning, and everything in front of them became blurry.

When they opened their eyes again, they found themselves in a strange space.

Here was a desolate desert, the sky was blood-red, and the air was filled with suffocating heat waves.

"It seems we were teleported to another place." Ceng Yue said.

Ji Chen looked around, his face heavy.

"This place is full of dangerous aura, we must be careful."

The two continued to move forward, encountering all kinds of traps along the way.

There were traps spraying fire, traps releasing toxic gas, and traps summoning various monsters.

They dodged carefully, not daring to be the slightest bit careless.

"Careful!" Ji Chen suddenly pulled Ceng Yue, dodging an energy beam shot from the ground.

"That was close!" Ceng Yue said with lingering fear.

The two continued to move forward, and the atmosphere became increasingly tense.

Suddenly, Ceng Yue's feet went empty, and she fell downward...

"Ceng Yue!" Ji Chen's eyes were about to split, watching Ceng Yue's figure disappear into the crack in the ground.

An invisible energy barrier suddenly appeared, separating him from the abyss.

This sudden change made his heart tighten, and a sense of despair instantly enveloped his whole body.

"Damn!" Ji Chen roared, bombarding the barrier crazily, trying to break it.

However, the barrier remained motionless, instead stirring up ripples of energy, making his arms numb.

The desolate scene all around seemed to be mocking his powerlessness.

"Ceng Yue!" Ji Chen called out again, his voice echoing in the empty desert, but he couldn't get any response, which made him even more anxious.

He could feel the dangerous aura permeating the air, knowing Ceng Yue was facing unknown challenges alone at this moment.

On the other side, Ceng Yue fell rapidly, the whistling wind in her ears like the whisper of the God of Death.

She forced herself to calm down, her cold eyes scanning the surrounding environment.

In the darkness, a ghostly blue energy beam was shooting toward her, carrying the momentum to destroy everything, as if wanting to swallow her completely.

"Hmph!" Ceng Yue sneered, a hint of cold light flashing in the bottom of her eyes.

She didn't sit and wait for death, but quickly scanned the surroundings, looking for cover she could use.

A giant rock caught her eye, and she didn't hesitate to mobilize all her Supernatural Ability, using all her strength to push the giant rock in front of her.

"Boom!" The energy beam hit the rock hard, making an earth-shattering sound.

The rock was instantly shattered by the powerful energy, debris flying everywhere, but it also successfully blocked most of the energy impact.

Ceng Yue only felt a powerful vibration force surging into her whole body, her throat sweet, almost spitting out a mouthful of blood.

But she succeeded!

The energy beam was blocked by the rock and dissipated in the air. Ceng Yue stabilized her figure, secretly rejoicing in her heart.

"She... she actually blocked it!" Seeing this scene, Ji Chen's originally desperate mood was instantly ignited with a glimmer of hope, and his originally tense nerves also relaxed slightly.

"Ceng Yue, how are you?" Ji Chen shouted toward the crack, his voice carrying a hint of trembling.

In the crack, no sound came out. Just when Ji Chen felt desperate again, he saw a faint light beginning to appear in the crack.

Ji Chen didn't care about anything else, rushing directly toward the crack, light flickering in his hands; he wanted to find Ceng Yue as soon as possible!

He didn't know what would be waiting for him!

Ji Chen leaped into the crack and landed steadily.

In the permeating dust, he saw Ceng Yue leaning against the rock wall at a glance.

Her face was pale, and there were still blood stains on the corners of her mouth, but her eyes were still cold and sharp.

"Glad you're okay!" Ji Chen breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward to support her.

"Don't worry, won't die." Ceng Yue spat out three words indifferently.

The two continued to go deep into this mysterious place.

The further they went, the stronger the energy fluctuations around them, and the air was filled with an ancient and mysterious aura.

Suddenly, the view in front of them opened up.

A giant underground space appeared in front of them, magnificent, like the legendary dragon palace treasure.

"Damn! Got rich!" Ji Chen couldn't help but burst out a swear word.

Only to see in the center of the space, countless treasures shining were piled up.

Various strange-shaped weapons, crystals emitting powerful energy, and ancient books piled up like a mountain...

"These are all key items to repair the energy balance!" A hint of excitement also flashed in Ceng Yue's eyes.

The two quickly began to collect these treasures, like two diligent little bees, busy picking honey in the flower bushes.

Ji Chen picked up an ancient secret book and handed it to Ceng Yue: "This one should be very suitable for you."

Ceng Yue took the secret book.

Just when the two were immersed in the joy of harvest, a change occurred.

Rumble!

A loud noise came from behind, and the road they came from

At the same time, the energy fluctuations in the surroundings became even more violent, and countless bizarre creatures surged out from the darkness, emitting an aura that made one's heart palpitate.

"It seems we are surrounded," Ji Chen narrowed his eyes.

Ceng Yue gripped the dagger in her hand tightly, her cold face showing not a trace of fear.

"Then let's fight our way out!"

The two stood back-to-back, facing the gradually approaching enemies without the slightest bit of panic.

"These things don't look very tasty..." Ji Chen licked his lips, a glimmer of excitement flashing in his eyes.
