Cultivation Simulator: Shocking the Academy-Chapter 444 - 297: Lightning’s Attack
After a round of searching and calculating, Luo Chen finally found a perfect route. Along this route, several piles of giant Soul Beast remains were stacked on top of each other, creating a natural barrier. From Junior Martial Uncle’s current position, it would take him at most the time of burning two incense sticks to reach that visual blind spot. Moreover, the abundance of Soul Beast remains there was enough for Luo Chen to use to approach Junior Martial Uncle.
The opportunity was rare, and time was pressing. Luo Chen knew he had to act quickly. He carefully applied the Flavor Absorption Pill on his body to mask his scent. Then, he hid his Black-Backed Long Saber and backpack in the dense grass, moving light and only carrying the small Black Heart Divine Wood and the Blood-Colored Longsword.
Along the edge of the gravel ground, Luo Chen crawled forward like an agile leopard. He remained vigilant at all times, fearful that a careless move would expose his whereabouts. He silently prayed in his heart, hoping that Junior Martial Uncle would proceed along the route he anticipated and reach that visual blind spot.
As time passed by the second, Luo Chen’s heartbeat gradually quickened. He knew he was getting closer to success, but simultaneously understood that failure would come with unimaginable consequences. Therefore, he advanced with even more caution, considering each step carefully.
Finally, after a long wait and arduous crawling, Luo Chen saw the visual blind spot. A surge of joy filled his heart, but on the surface, he remained calm and composed. He knew that the most crucial moment was yet to come.
Junior Martial Uncle’s figure gradually appeared in Luo Chen’s line of sight. With a longsword in hand, Junior Martial Uncle was ceaselessly rummaging through the Soul Beast remains. Luo Chen held his breath and quietly approached him. With each step, he carefully observed Junior Martial Uncle’s movements, fearful of being discovered.
Just as Luo Chen was only a few steps away from Junior Martial Uncle, he suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis overwhelm him. As he whipped around, he saw a fierce big black wild dog staring directly at him, its eyes gleaming with a piercing chill. Luo Chen was startled, realizing the situation had turned unfavorable. He hadn’t anticipated that he would be discovered by a big black wild dog at this moment.
However, at this critical juncture, Luo Chen suddenly remembered the Flavor Absorption Pill on him. He immediately held his breath, trying to keep the air between himself and the big black wild dog calm. Sure enough, after sniffing around, the big black wild dog seemed to detect nothing unusual and turned to leave. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺
Luo Chen let out a sigh of relief, secretly feeling fortunate. He knew he had just narrowly escaped a harrowing situation. At the same time, he became more aware that, to successfully approach Junior Martial Uncle and reclaim the Soul Beast Divine Stone, he must remain constantly vigilant and calm.
He turned back to look at Junior Martial Uncle, finding that he was even closer now. Luo Chen knew this was the last chance; he took a deep breath, adjusted his state, and then darted towards Junior Martial Uncle like a lightning bolt. During this process, he used the surrounding Soul Beast remains as cover, sometimes leaping, sometimes rolling, approaching Junior Martial Uncle at the fastest speed. His gaze was constantly locked on the brilliant Soul Beast Divine Stone in Junior Martial Uncle’s hand—the objective of his mission and the item he must retrieve.
Finally, Junior Martial Uncle stepped into the position Luo Chen had meticulously predetermined. This moment was both tense and exciting for Luo Chen, as he knew the long-awaited opportunity had finally arrived. In the gravel ground, like an agile leopard, he stealthily approached using the terrain and the big black wild dog’s cover, silently advancing.
The big black wild dogs were licking the residues on the gravel ground, their rough tongues scraping across the sand, making rustling noises. To Luo Chen, these sounds were like the most beautiful symphony because they perfectly masked the sound of his crawling, allowing him to get even closer to his target.
Bit by bit, through the gaps in the Soul Beast skeletons, Luo Chen caught a glimpse of Junior Martial Uncle’s smug face. Junior Martial Uncle’s bag was already bulging; evidently, in this short half-hour, he had gained a lot, easily pocketing dozens of Soul Beast Divine Stones.
