Chapter 280: Chapter 280 The So-Called Treasured Place!

There were a total of three sword cultivators, each at the late stage of Foundation Establishment!

For Lu Chen, who was at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, each one was a formidable enemy!

He was originally a martial artist who practiced swordsmanship, and his talent was so great in the path of the sword that people in the city had bestowed upon him the title of a prodigy.

Yet, Lu Chen couldn’t see through these three sword lights in the slightest!

This made him dare not be careless in his response!

"Fellow daoists, are you heading to some precious site?"

Lu Chen slightly bowed his head and cupped his hands in query.

He feared the glint of cold light in his eyes might catch the attention of these three people.

"You have no right to know," the sword cultivator said coldly, merely raising his eyelids slightly as his sword flew up and hovered beside him.

Lu Chen agreed repeatedly, but he also had his suspicions.

What this sword cultivator mentioned was not just a treasure site but a dangerous place as well!

Otherwise, why wouldn’t these three go by themselves and instead bring him along?

Moreover, their tone of undeniable certainty was obviously to have Lu Chen scout ahead, thereby helping them to avoid dangers!

"Is every cultivator this cold and heartless?"

Lu Chen, having had little contact with the cultivation world, felt somewhat displeased upon guessing the thoughts of the three sword cultivators.

But he was no pushover.

His lack of resistance at this moment simply meant he had no confidence in these three and also wanted to see if the treasure site they mentioned had any connection to the formation’s eye treasure!

As they progressed, the three sword cultivators whispered to each other and occasionally looked back at Lu Chen.

Lu Chen was very alert, carefully observing their gazes, which seemed worried that he might run away, but in reality, they kept an almost imperceptible watch on his long spear; this caused him to start thinking as well.

It seemed they wanted to play some trick with my long spear!

Then, what different role could the long spear play in a place like this?

"Hmph, I’ll just follow for now, and it’ll be a good chance to recover some spiritual power!"

Lu Chen had previously exhausted quite a bit of energy killing monsters, and he was sure to face these three sword cultivators in battle later on.

Without the Pure Jade Vial on him, Lu Chen could only rely on the spiritual power within himself.

At this moment, he was extremely grateful that his body could autonomously run the Heaven-Breaking Spiritual Method, which allowed him to unconsciously recover spiritual power.

Having experienced a battle with monsters at the Core Formation Stage and a tree demon, Lu Chen was already victorious in terms of state of mind over those at the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

After a long walk, they stopped before a sand pit.

"Kid," the sword cultivator turned around and pointed to the sand pit, "you go down and take a look."

"Fellow daoist, what is in this sand pit?"

Lu Chen feigned ignorance and asked.

"Of course, there are monsters," the sword cultivator revealed a mocking smile, and the other two also looked disdainful.

Seeing that he didn’t conceal anything, Lu Chen couldn’t help but be surprised as well.

But this was fine, and he straightforwardly asked, "Fellow daoist, do you want me to go down and kill the monster?"

"Pretty much!"

The sword cultivator replied, "There’s a monster beneath this sand pit, and we can’t lure it out no matter what we do. Besides, our flying swords are too short to strike it deep enough. Aren’t you a practitioner of the long spear? Your spear is longer than our swords, so it’s best for you to try!"

Lu Chen feigned hesitation and took two steps back, saying, "Fellow daoist, what kind of monster is it, and what abilities does it possess? Could you tell me so that I can be somewhat prepared when I go down?"

"What are you afraid of?"

Another sword cultivator spoke up, "We just can’t reach it. We’re only a foot short of stabbing the monster! Just kill the monster, and afterwards, the three of us will take you into the treasure site underneath the sand pit!"

A treasure site beneath the sand pit?

Lu Chen was startled.

When he arrived at this spot, he activated the Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique, and he indeed saw that the monster had already detected their presence and was preparing to pounce at any moment.

But as for a treasure site...

Beneath this pit was nothing but sand!

"Kid, hurry up and go down!"

But just as Lu Chen collected his thoughts, one of the sword cultivators, growing somewhat impatient, suddenly commanded his flying sword to hit Lu Chen with the hilt, knocking him into the sand pit!

In an instant.

From the bottom of the sand pit, a gaping maw full of sharp teeth shot out, biting towards Lu Chen!

Meanwhile, the three sword cultivators took the opportunity to leap from behind the monster, and they all vanished behind it!
