Although the black-clad figures were numerous, under Luo Chen and Qing Shuang’s tacit coordination, they gradually gained the upper hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the presence of the giant tortoise was always a massive stone weighing on their hearts, its enormous body and powerful aura made Luo Chen and Qing Shuang dare not be careless in the slightest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as they were about to defeat all the black-clad figures, the giant tortoise suddenly moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its giant feet stepped into the swampy mud, each step making the earth tremble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The giant tortoise’s target was directly Luo Chen and Qing Shuang, it seemed to have already regarded them as the greatest threat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Watch out!” Qing Shuang shouted, quickly casting a defensive spell to form an ice wall to try to block the tortoise’s advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen gathered strength behind the ice wall, preparing to launch a powerful attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took a deep breath, mobilizing all the power within him, a dazzling light gathered at the tip of his sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the giant tortoise crashed into the ice wall, Luo Chen’s sword also pierced forth with thunderous momentum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sword light collided with the giant tortoise’s blood-red shell, producing a deafening roar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ice wall shattered instantly under the tortoise’s impact, but Luo Chen’s sword also successfully left a deep wound on the tortoise’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The giant tortoise let out a painful roar, a trace of anger flashed in its eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It turned around and launched another attack on Luo Chen and Qing Shuang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, it did not just charge with its body but spewed blood-red flames from its mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen and Qing Shuang weaved through the flames, utilizing the terrain and vegetation in the swamp as cover to evade the tortoise’s attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, they realized that if they couldn’t quickly find the tortoise’s weakness, they would eventually be defeated by this colossal creature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Qing Shuang suddenly recalled what the old man said about the Heart of Swamp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She guessed that this giant tortoise might be the embodiment of the Heart of Swamp, and what those black-clad figures were trying to awaken was this ancient power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Luo Chen, we must find the tortoise’s heart!” Qing Shuang shouted loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen nodded, knowing it was their only hope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They began trying to maneuver behind the tortoise, searching for the best opportunity to strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a moment dodging the tortoise’s flames, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang finally saw a special mark on the tortoise’s back, seemingly where its heart was located.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They exchanged a glance, needing no words to understand each other’s intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen and Qing Shuang launched their strongest attacks simultaneously; Luo Chen’s sword and Qing Shuang’s spell both hit the tortoise’s heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The giant tortoise emitted an earth-shaking howl, its body began to tremble violently before slowly collapsing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tremors in the swamp ceased, and the surrounding black-clad figures, seeing this, scattered in all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen and Qing Shuang stood by the tortoise’s corpse, knowing that although the battle was tough, they had successfully averted a disaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The swamp returned to its calm state as if nothing had ever happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They returned to the inn and immediately lay down on the bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Exhaustion surged in wildly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So tired…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen and Qing Shuang lay on the soft bed, the exhaustion washed over them like a tide, almost drowning them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, although their bodies were at their limits, their thoughts could not find peace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every detail of the battle, every breathtaking moment, replayed endlessly in their minds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We did it.” Qing Shuang’s voice was tinged with fatigue, but more with relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen nodded, his gaze falling outside the window. Night had fallen, and the moonlight poured through the window, casting a mysterious silvery glow over everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, we did it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He repeated Qing Shuang’s words, but there were more questions in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What exactly was the giant tortoise? What was its connection with the black-clad figures? What secrets did the Heart of Swamp conceal?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qing Shuang seemed to perceive Luo Chen’s thoughts and said softly, “Let’s ask the old man tomorrow, he might know something.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen nodded, knowing Qing Shuang was right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They needed more information to uncover the truth behind it all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next morning, as the first rays of sunlight pierced through the curtains, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were already prepared to set off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After quickly having breakfast, they hurriedly headed to the old man’s place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man seemed to have anticipated their arrival; he sat in a rocking chair at the door with a faint smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You have arrived,” the old man’s voice was calm and deep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen and Qing Shuang exchanged a glance, then Luo Chen asked, “What was that giant tortoise? What is its relation to the black-clad figures?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke, “The giant tortoise was the Guardian of the Heart of Swamp and one of the oldest existences on this land. It was awakened by the black-clad figures to perform an ancient ritual.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A ritual?” Qing Shuang inquired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, an ancient ritual designed to awaken the evil force slumbering in the depths of the swamp.” The old man’s voice carried a hint of heaviness, “You stopped it and prevented a disaster.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen furrowed his brow, “What about the black-clad figures? Who are they?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man sighed, “The black-clad figures are humans seduced by the evil force, seeking power by cooperating with dark entities. They will not easily give up, you must be cautious.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qing Shuang and Luo Chen exchanged a look, understanding that this battle might only be the beginning, with greater challenges lying ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>",959,"2026-06-03T12:44:46.061Z","2026-06-03T12:44:51.380Z",1,"novelbin.me","a51847c77507168298117aea4ded13a4d4a3f4520e84cffb5acb64fa0246b3dd","immortality-cultivation-i-can-increase-my-stats--chapter-1462","immortality-cultivation-i-can-increase-my-stats--chapter-1460",2094,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fimmortality-cultivation-i-can-increase-my-stats--cover.jpg"]
