Chapter 173: Chapter 173: Lu Chen Falls into a Coma, Qin Yaotiao Also Enters the Forbidden Area!

As soon as the Spiritual Liquid emerged from the jade box, it turned into flames.

The fierce blaze, resembling a fire dragon, penetrated deep into the cave, not only emitting a heatwave but also illuminating the place!

At the same time.

The fire was so intense that it burst out of the cave in the opposite direction!

Lu Chen, too, was touched by the flames.

But fortunately, since he was the one controlling the fire, he wouldn’t suffer any harm.

On the contrary, he felt the presence of the Spiritual Liquid.

"Maybe... I should try to absorb and refine it?"

With that thought, Lu Chen’s heart stirred, and he activated the Heaven-Breaking Spiritual Method!

The next moment, Lu Chen felt as if something had struck his forehead, and then the pure Spiritual Liquid drilled straight into his brow!

"Ugh!"

Lu Chen grunted and fell straight back!

He had previously cultivated with Spiritual Liquid in the Fire Swamp, otherwise, he wouldn’t have recklessly attempted to cultivate it now!

The Spiritual Liquid from the Fire Swamp was, so to speak, "wild," and logically, once it entered the jade bottle and was controlled by him, it should have recognized him.

But instead, why did it knock him unconscious?

This was the last thought Lu Chen had before he blacked out!

He collapsed to the ground, while the jade bottle continued to spew out Spiritual Liquid.

However, the fire, having lost Lu Chen’s control, transformed back into Spiritual Liquid. Not only did it continue to flow towards the path of death, but some of it also branched off towards the path of life!

...

"Yaotiao, it seems many people have come here! If your young master is also inside the Abyss, he would surely enter too, right?"

Standing outside the forbidden area, Shang Xiu spoke, looking at the disordered footprints on the ground.

With the brightness of the portal, the vicinity was clearly visible.

"If it’s dangerous here, the young master should... probably not enter rashly, right?"

Qin Yaotiao was also uncertain, completely losing her own opinion.

She was afraid both of Lu Chen entering and not entering. If she went in herself, she might end up in trouble.

Later, if Lu Chen couldn’t find her, she didn’t know how he would react!

"Are you afraid of the danger inside?"

Shang Xiu smiled and said, "The Abyss is inherently dangerous, but as cultivators, if we shy away from difficulty, how can we ever strive to defy heaven?"

"Then, Senior Sister, what do you suggest?"

"My suggestion, of course, is to go in!"

Shang Xiu’s gaze sharpened as she reached out and took hold of Qin Yaotiao’s hand, saying, "However, some secret realms, once entered, may instantly transport you to another place. You must hold on tight to my hand, so we don’t get separated upon entry!"

Shang Xiu was quite experienced; back when she was at the Shang family, she had read extensively.

She was not only knowledgeable but also cunning.

Of course, in such a situation, she was still worried about Qin Yaotiao getting into trouble.

If that happened, all her efforts would be for naught.

"Okay, Senior Sister, I’m holding on tight!"

Qin Yaotiao nodded, her hands already employing Spiritual Power.

Shang Xiu, however, was not in a hurry. She chuckled and said, "Take this talisman as well! If we happen to get separated, you can channel your Control Spiritual Power into this talisman. I’ve left my mark on it, so you’ll be able to find me later!"

"There’s such a miraculous talisman?"

Qin Yaotiao was surprised, but by now, she trusted Shang Xiu unconditionally and took the talisman, carefully placing it in her storage pouch.

With a smile, Shang Xiu then tightly held Qin Yaotiao’s hand, and the two stepped through the portal simultaneously!

Their vision blurred for a moment, and they suddenly found themselves in deep waters!

The water pressure was immense, not to mention the underwater currents!

"Gurgle–"

Qin Yaotiao panicked and bubbles spilled from her mouth.

Luckily, Shang Xiu reacted quickly, protecting herself with Spiritual Power. Then she used a water-controlling spell to take Qin Yaotiao up toward the surface!

In a few breaths, they emerged from the water.

But what they saw next left them stunned!
