Chapter 610: Chapter 610: The Monster Beast’s Sneak Attack!

The vibrations were rapid.

In just three breaths, the ground beneath Lu Chen’s feet violently cracked open, forming a fissure!

The vegetation spawned by the Wood Element Spells cast by Li Yanran was torn apart, revealing a dense mat of roots underneath the fissure!

Even snapped lotus roots are connected by threads, not to mention these roots which were the very means for Li Yanran to sense the subterranean situation.

"Lu Chen, be careful!"

Li Yanran’s expression changed suddenly as she urgently called out a warning.

No sooner had the words left her mouth, than a green-faced, fanged monster’s head burst out from the darkness below, snapping its jaws towards Lu Chen!

"Hmph!"

With a cold snort, the darkness beneath the fissure could not hide anything from Lu Chen’s Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique!

Lu Chen bent his legs slightly and powerfully leapt into the air, even remembering to remind Li Yanran, "Junior sister Li, take care of yourself first, leave this monster to me!"

Having said that, his body began to fall, but Lu Chen was quick to react. With a thought, he took out the Bingji Fan from his storage bag!

Stepping onto the smooth icy surface, Lu Chen hovered midair with the Heavenly Inquiry Spear in his hand pointing downward, aimed straight at one of the monster’s eyes!

Then, he channeled Chaos Spirit Power and used the spear technique "High Mountain Flowing Water!"

"Boom!"

Water flows downhill, and the magnificent Chaos Spirit Power, like a deluge pouring down, was condensed into a mighty force by Lu Chen’s command, directly assaulting that eye!

"Roar——"

The monster, having missed its attack and seeing Lu Chen daring to counterattack, let out a huge roar, filled with immense frustration, and quickly retracted into the depths of the fissure!

"Indeed, its intelligence far surpasses that of ordinary beasts," Lu Chen murmured. Before encountering these ancient monsters, all beasts would continue assaulting once they attacked, either biting you to death or being killed by you!

Yet this monster, upon realizing the situation, fled swiftly without any hesitation.

"However, do you think you can escape just like that?"

Lu Chen sneered, furiously channeling the Chaos Spirit Power within his Dantian. His pupils on the Spiritual Pearl platform gleamed with cold light, directing all Chaos Spirit Power through the nine meridians and finally into the palm of his hand!

At the same time, Lu Chen’s body autonomously cultivated the Heaven-Breaking Spiritual Method, absorbing the Spiritual Power of this wilderness into his body without cease, refining it and filling his Dantian.

"High Mountain Flowing Water," this spear technique, in fact resembled more of a spell, using overwhelming Spiritual Power to drown the opponent.

Because of the Heaven-Breaking Spiritual Method, Lu Chen’s Dantian was like a reservoir, with the Spiritual Power in the air serving as the upstream source!

Seeing the monster retreat, Lu Chen had already considered changing tactics, yet he did not alter the essence of the spear technique.

He planned to use endless chaotic power to fill the fissure, thereby leaving the monster with nowhere to hide!

Wherever the Chaos Spirit Power reached, should it touch the monster, Lu Chen would be able to sense it and pinpoint its location!

And that surging chaotic power...

would ultimately be at his disposal!

"You can escape now, but can you escape for a lifetime? Unless... the other monsters take this opportunity to come and besiege me!"

Lu Chen sneered.

Was he afraid of being surrounded?

Of course, he was!

Obviously, these beasts dared not enter this area from above ground. Even if they wished to come, they could only travel underground like this monster.

However, the underground would be slowly filled by his Chaos Spirit Power, and any slight movement would be detectable by Lu Chen!

Li Yanran stood by the side, her heart pounding with fear.

She not only couldn’t recognize the Spiritual Power Lu Chen was currently using

but was also astounded by his continuous flow of Spiritual Power!

"Sister Yaotiao was right... Lu Chen has such schemes and this kind of strength! But why would he join our Casting Gear Pavilion?"

The memory-impared Li Yanran couldn’t recall anything about Lu Chen, doubts arising in her mind again, though it wasn’t suspicion towards Lu Chen.

Seeing that she seemed of no use here, she turned her attention towards Qin Yaotiao.

She saw Qin Yaotiao making her way along the fissures, pausing at each one, closing her eyes and using her Heaven’s Pupil Technique to sense the changes in the Spiritual Power beneath the fissures.

But suddenly, a terrible thought crossed her mind!

If these fissures were connected...

Could it be that other monsters might take this chance to ambush Qin Yaotiao?

With this thought, she employed the Wood Spiritual Bead and flew towards Qin Yaotiao!

If Lu Chen was unharmed, then she needed to keep an eye on Qin Yaotiao!

But before she could get there, Qin Yaotiao stumbled back several steps as a snake-like dark shadow burst forth from the fissure, lunging at Qin Yaotiao with its mouth wide open!
