441. Chapter 441: Immortal Herb and Nether Water

"Are you saying we've been played?"

The intelligent Luo Shen reacted quickly, her pretty face turning pale.

If that were truly the case, wouldn't they be trapped in a desperate situation? Recalling the powerful fierce beast they had encountered on the surface earlier, she couldn't help but shiver all over.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt a lingering fear.

"There must be other dangers waiting for us behind this stone gate."

Luo Shen bit her lip tightly, saying with a worried expression.

"It's fine. Since this Young Master has come, even if there are mountains of blades and seas of fire inside, I intend to brave them."

Su Chen took a deep breath, staring at the stone gate before him with a look of death-defying resolve.

The rougher the waves, the more valuable the fish!

He was not the type of coward who feared death.

"Alright, I'll go with you."

Luo Shen gripped Su Chen's large hand tightly and said softly.

No matter where Su Chen was, she would stay by his side and face the unknown dangers inside together.

"And us too."

The other women spoke up one after another, each looking at Su Chen with determination, showing no intention of backing down.

Seeing this, Su Chen was deeply moved.

Many of these women had been obtained through unscrupulous means, yet now, instead of harboring resentment, they chose to accompany him to face the unknown dangers ahead.

"Alright, let's all go in."

As he spoke, Su Chen walked toward the stone gate first.

Reaching the front of the stone gate, Su Chen pushed against the massive door with his hands, but it didn't budge an inch.

Su Chen increased the force in his hands, but the stone gate remained unmoved.

"Huh?!"

Seeing this, Su Chen frowned, muttering to himself in his heart.

He began to examine the stone gate carefully, wanting to discover something unusual.

Sure enough, Su Chen soon discovered a tiny slit in the middle of the stone gate.

If one didn't look closely, one would never notice it.

And the size of that slit seemed to be the same as the Black Token he had obtained after killing the vampire Lanbo in the Western Wasteland.

Su Chen narrowed his eyes, as if he had already realized there was some connection between the two.

He took the Black Token from his Storage Ring and inserted it into the slit in the middle of the stone gate.

The moment the Black Token was inserted, the entire token emitted a faint white halo and quickly merged into the tiny slit in the center of the stone gate.

"Click."

With a soft sound, the stone gate actually began to open slowly from the inside.

Seeing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

No matter what was waiting for them inside, this stone gate had finally been opened.

"Go!"

Immediately, Su Chen took the first step inside, and the women followed closely behind.

After entering the stone gate, Su Chen discovered that there was a whole new world behind it.

Behind the stone gate was a wide tunnel, its surrounding walls dark brown and exuding waves of cold, sinister Qi.

A Night Pearl was embedded in the walls at regular intervals, clearly providing light.

Su Chen took the lead and walked toward the depths of the tunnel.

Soon, they arrived at the bank of a river.

The river water was rushing, the mud at the bottom was churning, and the turbulent flow made a loud splashing sound, looking like a long Dragon winding its way down.

"Eh?!"

After reaching the riverbank, Su Chen suddenly let out a soft sound of surprise, his gaze fixed on the green grass by the shore.

He saw stalks of strange green grass, lush and full of vitality, making one feel refreshed at a single glance.

Around the grass grew all kinds of flowers—red, blue, white, purple, yellow, and even a black Mandala Flower.

Su Chen was stunned. Although he didn't recognize these grasses, they gave him a strange feeling.

"Immortal Herb?!"

Ziwei Xianzi pointed at those grasses and exclaimed.

Clearly, she recognized these grasses.

"Immortal Herb? What is that?"

Su Chen was taken aback by her words and asked in confusion.

It was his first time hearing the words "Immortal Herb."

"The Immortal Herb is the most magical plant in the Immortal World, growing at the peak of the Immortal World, capable of allowing one to be reborn."

"Moreover, the Immortal Herb possesses heaven-defying effects, capable of allowing one to be reborn."

Seeing Su Chen's confusion, Ziwei Xianzi explained calmly.

"Reborn!?"

Su Chen widened his eyes, saying in disbelief: "The Immortal Herb grows at the peak of the Immortal World, so why would it appear here, and in such a large patch?"

He truly couldn't understand it.

It should be impossible for a barren land like the Tianxuan Continent to produce such heaven-defying Heavenly Treasures as an Immortal Herb.

"This river water is also unusual."

Ziwei Xianzi did not provide Su Chen with an answer; her beautiful eyes stared at the constantly flowing river as she murmured, "This seems to be the Nether Water from the Immortal World."

"Nether Water?"

Su Chen cast his gaze toward the river once more.

The river water was clear and transparent, looking no different from ordinary river water.

Although there was some chilly cold air, isn't that how all water buried deep underground is? "It really is Nether Water!"

Youji's eyes were also filled with shock as she looked at the river, saying, "I never expected that the Nether Water of Hell would actually appear here."

"I remember the last time this deity saw this Nether Water, it was hundreds of thousands of years ago; truly, the ways of the world are unpredictable."

The words of the two made Su Chen even more confused.

Why would things that should only belong to the Immortal World and Hell respectively appear perfectly fine underground in the Donghua Continent of the Tianxuan Continent?

And they were even coexisting peacefully.

How terrifying must the strength of the mighty figure who caused these two things to appear here be?

At this moment, Su Chen felt a bit panicked inside.

He knew what kind of existence was waiting for him to walk right into the trap deep within this corridor.

However, he did not feel afraid.

He thought he would take it one step at a time.

With this thought in mind, he prepared to fly across this Nether Water to reach the opposite bank.

"Don't."

Seeing this, Youji reached out her jade hand, grabbed Su Chen's sleeve, and stopped his action.

"What is it?"

Su Chen looked at Youji in confusion and asked.

"If you cross over the Nether Water like that, you will die."

Youji shook her head repeatedly and said with a bitter smile.

This Nether Water is an extremely bizarre thing; once contaminated by it, you can never wash it off, unless you are someone who practices a special technique.

Anyone who sees the Nether Water usually keeps a respectful distance.

This was the first time Youji had seen someone like Su Chen who wanted to fly directly across the Nether Water.

She did not know if he was bold or if he simply did not care about his own life or death.

Hundreds of thousands of years ago, when she was in the Immortal World and saw this Nether Water in Hell, she did not dare to be so dismissive.

She only dared to admire it from afar.

"Oh, then how should we get across this Nether Water?"

Su Chen was unimpressed and merely raised an eyebrow. (End of chapter)
