Chapter 862: 862

Yue Xiaoqian didn’t even look . Her sword slashed out behind, cutting the figure in two . It rapidly merged with the ground .

“The shadow ghouls are getting stronger and stronger, as well as more berserk . Injuring them isn’t difficult, but killing them would exhaust quite a bit of soul energy . It’s not really worth it,” said Yue Xiaoqian .

“Then it’s fine . You save your energy . If any shadow ghouls appear, just leave them to me . ” Long Chen smiled .

As expected, they had only gone a few more miles when another figure shot at them from a crack in the ground .

A bolt of lightning flew by and struck it, turning it into smoke . That shadow ghoul was killed in one attack .

“What terrifying thunderforce . It even contains an aura of annihilation . That’s something only heavenly tribulation lightning could possess . Is your lightning…” Yue Xiaoqian was shocked .

“Nothing can be hidden from you . Yes, my thunderforce was gathered from tribulation lightning . ” Long Chen found that Yue Xiaoqian was too learned . There was nothing she didn’t know .

“How is that possible? How could a human control heavenly tribulation lightning?” Yue Xiaoqian still found this hard to believe .

Long Chen explained how he had encountered tribulation in his first advancement and onwards . He also told her how he had raised Lei Long .

After her initial disbelief, she gradually came to accept this power that was beyond her understanding . This was her first time hearing that someone could control heavenly tribulation lightning .

The two of them continued . More and more shadow ghouls appeared, and each time, they would be killed in one shot by the pointing of Long Chen’s finger .

They saw quite a few more corpses on the way . They had all been killed by shadow ghouls . These shadow ghouls were also getting stronger .

But no matter how strong the shadow ghouls became, they were still weeds in front of Long Chen . His thunderforce was their bane .

“There’s an opening below . Let’s go take a look . ” Yue Xiaoqian pointed downwards . Long Chen looked and saw that the huge wall was concealing the fact that there was an opening here .

Yue Xiaoqian was just about to slash the wall apart when Long Chen stopped her . He simply grabbed and lifted it . The huge wall that was millions of pounds was easily lifted .

“We should do our best not to leave any marks, or others will find us . ”

This entrance was an underground entrance to some construction . Long Chen replaced the wall so that everything looked normal . That way it wouldn’t be likely for others to follow them .

“Do you want to go in front, or should I?” asked Yue Xiaoqian .

“You should stay in front . This place is too dark, so I’ll activate my thunderforce . ” Long Chen became covered in violet lightning . Those were his lightning runes . It was like he was wearing clothes made of lightning, making the underground room as bright as if it were daytime .

As they continued onwards, they saw that this pa.s.sage continued at a slight tilt downwards . They hadn’t gotten far before a huge mouse suddenly attacked Long Chen .

The mouse’s fur ended in black, sharp points that made it look like a porcupine . Its eyes were scarlet, and its long tail was sharp like a blade .

“Careful . This is a Rockthorn Mouse and its quills are poisonous,” warned Yue Xiaoqian .

Bang! Long Chen’s broadsword slammed into the mouse . But it actually blocked it with its teeth . Sparks flew when they collided . The three-meter-long mouse slammed into a wall .

It let out a strange cry . Suddenly, it raised its tail and swung it at them . The end of its tail opened, and countless needle-like quills flew toward Long Chen .

Long Chen’s broadsword blocked all of them easily . They were clearly grown out of flesh, but they were harder than metal .

Long Chen unsheathed Flying Rainbow . Cold light flashed as that mouse’s head was severed .

Flying Rainbow was exceptionally sharp, so it was much easier to kill this kind of Magical Beast with it .

Long Chen picked up one of its quills . The quill was five inches long and around two hundred grams . There were little holes in its tip that were almost impossible to see with the naked eye .

“Those holes hide its poison . The Rockthorn Mouse is extremely special . It doesn’t have a poison sac . Instead, its quills are what store its poison . Although it’s just a sixth rank Magical Beast, its poison quills are very sharp and can easily pierce a seventh rank Magical Beast’s hide . Even if it can’t poison a seventh rank Magical Beast to death, it can poison it half to death,” said Yue Xiaoqian .

Long Chen’s eyes brightened . If it was this strong, then it was something good .
