C261 Constant Trouble
Half an hour later, Lee Yue frowned as she looked at the black stone in her hands with a puzzled expression on her face. She was still fine a moment ago, but when she got near the stone, she seemed to have stopped moving.
"Senior Sister Lee, could the Meteorite Crystal be nearby?" Lu Chen asked with a wry smile. According to their speed, he estimated that they had gone a few miles deeper into the forest, but not only did the surrounding fog not disappear, it even became thicker.
"I don't think so. If we find the Meteorite Crystal, the Spirit Stone is not like this. There seems to be some kind of force blocking our senses."
"Hu!"
As soon as Lee Yue finished her sentence, the previously calm fog began to churn violently. A huge shadow suddenly shot over, making a whistling sound as it rubbed against the air.
"Be careful!"
The light in Lu Chen's eyes intensified as his soul power interweaved, forming a thick and solid wall in front of the two of them.
"Bam!"
The deafening sound of the collision resounded through half of the forest, and a stone fell to the ground in pieces.
Although Lu Chen blocked the attack, his expression was still serious. "Crack crack" sounds of bones rubbing against each other were heard. The fog started to churn violently, as if something had awoken and was approaching the two of them.
"What's going on?"
"Could it be those puppets again?" Lee Yue's charming face changed as a blurry figure appeared in front of her.
"Kacha …."
The thick fog surged and numerous shadows rushed over. They were extremely fast and appeared in front of the two in the blink of an eye. It was a stone-like monster. Its body was pitch black in color and it was covered in fangs and claws. It was rushing towards the two of them.
Taking a step forward, Lu Chen made the first move. He clenched his five fingers and a violent and ferocious fist force was suddenly released. It formed a giant Fist Shadow and smashed towards Lu Chen as if he was pulling out dried weeds.
Boom!
This punch was unparalleled, fiercely smashing into the incoming shadows, causing them to stagger and fall to the ground. However, in the next second, under Lu Chen's astonished gaze, they slowly got up and rushed over again.
"What is it?" Lee Yue was shocked. She was very clear about Lu Chen's strength. Although he did not use his full strength, even a martial artist at the fifth or sixth level would find it difficult to withstand a casual attack from him.
"It seems to be a creature similar to a magical beast. This forbidden area in the Blue Cloud Sect is indeed quite complicated." Lu Chen's eyes were dark and deep as he stared at the incoming shadow. His face revealed a hint of surprise as if he had recognized the origin of these things.
"Senior Sister Lee, take care of yourself. I'll go deal with them." Due to the gravitational force, Lee Yue's strength was greatly affected. Lu Chen took a deep breath and released his soul power.
His punch was like a flood dragon emerging from the seas, sweeping out in all directions.
Lu Chen's hair was flying in the air, his eyes were as sharp as lightning, the moment this hard puppet touched his fist light, it almost shattered in an instant, he shook his fist with all his might, the terrifying fist light shook the huge forest of boulders, his powerful appearance made even Lee Yue widen her eyes.
"Bam!"
The last terrifying creature was torn to shreds by Lu Chen. There were pieces of stone everywhere on the ground, and the atmosphere became quiet once again.
"Lu Chen, are you alright?"
"What are these creatures? They look very hard, and they don't seem to be affected by gravity." Lee Yue walked up and looked at Lu Chen with concern.
"Oh right, I remember now."
"These creatures seem to be called stone beasts, and their bodies are exceptionally strong. They can be considered a branch of magical beasts."
"But why would such a thing be in the forbidden area?" Lee Yue frowned, confused.
"Let's not worry about that for now. There's movement from the Spirit Stone again."
"The Meteorite Crystal should be not far ahead. Let's go take a look." Lee Yue suddenly exclaimed. The black stone in her hand flickered with a brilliant luster, even more dazzling and brighter than before.2
Lu Chen smiled and followed her footsteps.
After the two of them left, a black shadow appeared on the spot. Its entire body was made of rock, and only a pair of scarlet eyes could be seen.
"The intruder …"
The deeper they went into the forbidden area, the more obvious the gravitational force became. Even with Lu Chen's tough body, he still felt a strong sense of oppression. As for Lee Yue, her face was beaded with sweat.
The environment became even more dangerous. The two of them walked and stopped, finally arriving at a depression. The surrounding area was covered densely in boulders tens of zhang, completely blocking out the light outside and making the place even darker.
"Falling Iron Crystal!" There was a trace of happiness on her pretty face. Following her gaze, Lu Chen saw several fist-sized special stones at the bottom of the huge rock. They were gleaming with a faint luster, appearing very dazzling in the dark environment.
"With these, I can repair my magic tools." Lee Yue excitedly jumped up as she rushed over happily.
"Swoosh!"
Suddenly, a snake-like shadow shot out, aiming straight at Lee Yue's back.
"Hmm?" Lee Yue's charming face changed slightly as she threw out a backhand slap.
Bang.
A deep sound of collision rang out. Lee Yue only felt her palms go numb as the tyrannical force extended along her arms, causing the blood and Qi in her chest to become slightly unstable.
"Swish, swish …"
In almost an instant, Lee Yue was surrounded by seven or eight puppets. Moreover, unlike the puppets from before, the energy waves emitted from the bodies of these puppets were even stronger, and two or three of them were even close to the Second Sky of Innate Martial Master.
"Intruder, die!" Lee Yue heard a stiff voice. The seven to eight puppets attacked at the same time. She didn't even have the time to dodge, as she instantly fell into a dangerous situation.
"Be careful!"
Seeing this scene, Lu Chen's eyelids slightly lifted. His gaze suddenly became sharp. A tyrannical and berserk aura soared into the sky like a dragon. The golden light from his fist tore through the air, engulfing almost all the puppets in an instant.
"Senior Sister Lee, go get the meteorite. I will stall them." Even with his current strength, he could feel a faint sense of danger from these puppets. Moreover, this was an extremely dangerous forbidden area, so no one knew if there were any stronger puppets here. At the moment, he had to stall these puppets so Lee Yue could obtain them in time before the two of them could leave as soon as possible.
"Lu Chen, be careful." Lee Yue still wanted to help Lu Chen deal with the puppets, but seeing the confidence on his face, she pushed back two of the puppets and landed near the Meteorite Crystal. She then started to collect the Heavenly And Earthly Treasures.
