Cultivation Simulator: Shocking the Academy-Chapter 461 - 314: Soul Hunting Squad
Luo Chen was suddenly enlightened by the words, realizing that his previous efforts had all been in vain. He lowered his head, deeply ashamed, and simultaneously grateful for the golden dragon’s guidance. Noticing Luo Chen’s sincere attitude and his undeterred spirit, the golden dragon softened its tone and said: "To reach that level is no easy task, you need to put in more effort and time in cultivation."
After saying this, the golden dragon turned and left, leaving Luo Chen alone in the cave to ponder. Despite encountering setbacks, Luo Chen did not abandon his pursuit of cultivation. He understood he had a long way to go and that in the days to come he would work even harder to improve his strength. This experience became a valuable asset on his cultivation path, motivating him to keep moving forward.
Originally planning to cultivate peacefully at the Dragon Pool for a year or two, Luo Chen unexpectedly stepped into a perilous canyon. This canyon, like a lurking giant beast, awaited its prey to walk willingly into its trap. Luo Chen’s heart tightened, knowing he was already in danger.
Unlike before, when he had the company of the big black wild dog and the black glutton, this time Luo Chen had to face the unknown dangers alone. He took a deep breath, trying to calm his excited nerves, and began to proceed cautiously.
Fortunately, Luo Chen wore Dragon Armor, which was not only indestructible but could also shield him from part of the attack. In addition, he held the Golden Treasure Spiritual Pill Sword in his hand, a sword of unparalleled sharpness, its blade gleaming with a captivating glow. It was not only a lethal weapon in Luo Chen’s clash but also his mental anchor.
Luo Chen cautiously navigated through the canyon with lightning speed, like lightning cutting through the darkness. Many hunting beasts kept an eye on the canyon’s entrance, attempting to capture prey entering the canyon. However, when they discovered Luo Chen, he had already disappeared like a gust of wind.
Even so, Luo Chen’s path of escape was fraught with peril. The roar of the beasts, the sharp claws, and venomous eyes constantly reminded him that death might be imminent. Yet, Luo Chen did not give up. Relying on the Golden Treasure Spiritual Pill Sword’s intimidation mode and his speed advantage, he repeatedly averted danger.
When Luo Chen finally escaped the canyon, he felt as if he had been to the gates of hell. If it weren’t for the Golden Treasure Spiritual Pill Sword’s intimidation mode giving him a lifeline, he would have long become a feast in the belly of the beasts.
After escaping the canyon, Luo Chen dared not pause for a moment. He sprinted all the way through the Black Mountain Ridge area. Along the way, countless fierce Soul Beasts chased and blocked him, attempting to put him to death. However, Luo Chen’s speed became his lifeline. He dashed through the jungle like lightning, leaving the fierce Soul Beasts far behind.
After a mad dash of hundreds of miles, Luo Chen finally reached the edge of Sunset Forest. To him, this place symbolized safety. When he stepped onto this familiar land, his taut nerves finally relaxed for a moment.
Luo Chen found a large tree that several people together might encompass, leaning against the tree roots. He started a fire to drive away the night’s chill and hastily ate some wild fruits and jerky to replenish his strength. At this moment, he just wanted to rest well, to relieve the fatigue and tension of this journey.
However, just as Luo Chen was about to close his eyes, a sense of foreboding suddenly arose. It was an instinctive intuition, a sharp perception honed through years of struggling at the edge of life and death. Almost without hesitation, Luo Chen grasped the Black-Backed Long Saber by his side. His gaze turned sharp instantly, vigilantly scanning the surrounding darkness.
"Don’t move!" A chilling shout, like sudden frost in the chilling wind, instantly tightened Luo Chen’s nerves. His body, ready to leap up, came to a sudden halt in mid-air, muscles tensed, like a bowstring fully drawn, ready at any moment to confront the impending crisis.
A sense of extreme danger permeated the air, filling every cell in Luo Chen’s body with alertness. He slowly turned his eyes, following the sound, and saw a hint of the extraordinary deep within the forest dozens of yards away. Through the sparse gaps between the trees, Luo Chen’s pupils suddenly contracted—a long-legged girl, with golden hair and blue eyes, held a longbow, an arrow glinting with blue-cold light firmly aimed at him, and even with the gentle breeze passing by, the arrowhead didn’t waver in the slightest.
