The two of them twisted and turned in the narrow space, constantly dodging the claw attacks.
They understood that they could not continue to be passive like this and had to find a way to fight back.
Chu Lingxiao's eyes flashed, and he came up with an idea.
He whispered to Gu Qingze, "I'll attract its attention, and you look for an opportunity to attack its weakness!"
In comparison, Qingze is better at finding weaknesses than him, so let him be the one to attract attention.
Gu Qingze looked at him worriedly. Although he was very worried, he nodded seriously to show that he understood.
Chu Lingxiao took a deep breath and rushed towards the claw, attracting its full attention.
Gu Qingze took the opportunity to go behind the claws and look for weaknesses.
Finally, he found a tiny line on the claw.
Gu Qingze concentrated all his strength and launched an attack towards the lines.
A sharp sword energy with a chill flew out of his hand and shot straight towards the pattern.
With a "crack", a deep crack appeared on the claw.
The claw began to twist continuously, and after a while, the movement gradually became slow.
Seeing this, Chu Lingxiao took the opportunity to launch a fierce attack.
The sword in his hand cooperated with Gu Qingze to continuously cause damage to the claw.
With their tacit cooperation, the power of the claws gradually weakened.
Finally, it slowly retracted from the crack.
Fearing that the claw would launch a surprise attack, they waited for a long time. Only after they were sure that there was no more movement in the crack did Chu Lingxiao and Gu Qingze breathe a sigh of relief.
They looked at each other with tired but relieved smiles on their faces.
"Finally it worked."
Hearing Chu Lingxiao's sigh, Gu Qingze smiled and patted his shoulder.
"How is it? I guess I had a plan in advance. If I hadn't suggested staying in top shape and resting for a night, your spiritual energy might have been depleted right after breaking through the 'ghost wall', and you wouldn't have been able to fight that strange claw."
Seeing Gu Qingze looking for praise, Chu Lingxiao touched his head.
"Yes, yes, yes, you are amazing."
Before he could finish, a bottle of purple potion was stuffed into his hand.
As an alchemist, Chu Lingxiao knew what it was at a glance and showed a look of surprise.
"You only used up half of your spiritual power, yet you're already using a fifth-grade potion. Qingze, you're being too extravagant."
Although he knew that Qingze did not lack these things, and he was watching him when he purchased them, he still condemned this "waste of talent".
Gu Qingze had finished the potion in his hand, looked at Ling Xiao, and said softly.
"Ling Xiao, drink quickly. This Fantasy Valley is too dangerous. It's better to stay in top condition at all times."
“That does make sense.”
Chu Lingxiao also drank the potion. It was slightly sweet, probably because celery and licorice were added to make it taste better.
As soon as he drank it, he felt his body getting hot, and his dantian was madly absorbing the spiritual power from the outside world, converting, compressing and storing it.
"You get what you pay for, it's true. The second-grade potion I made before not only tasted worse than this, but the effect was also several times worse."
"Otherwise, how could it be a fifth-grade potion? Ling Xiao is so talented, he will definitely become a fifth-grade alchemist in a few years."
Gu Qingze comforted him. In fact, what he said was the truth. In the original novel, the hero was the only tenth-grade alchemist in the world of immortal cultivation. Moreover, he started learning alchemy from Ling Xiao. It has only been a few years now, but he has become a third-grade alchemist. It is only a matter of time before he reaches the fifth grade.
