“Indeed, we can take some stalactite with us. If we encounter that demonic dragon again, we won’t be completely helpless.”
As Chen Feng spoke, he took out his storage bag and began collecting the stalactites dripping from the spirit stones on both sides of the passage. Seeing this, everyone else followed suit, taking out their own storage containers and starting to collect these precious stalactites.
The stalactites dripped slowly, each drop brimming with spiritual energy and vitality, as if they were a gift from nature...
As time went by, everyone had collected a certain amount of stalactite in their storage containers.
Chu Wanwan also collected a large jar of stalactite.
"Alright, let's go."
Seeing that the collection was almost complete, Chen Yun spoke up.
Everyone nodded, stood up, and continued on their way.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, they finally emerged from the cave.
They found themselves in a valley, surrounded by beautiful scenery, birdsong, and fragrant flowers, a stark contrast to the dangerous environment they had encountered before.
Chu Wanwan and the others stood at the edge of the valley, gazing at the distant, undulating mountain range, and couldn't help but feel a sense of ease and joy.
"This is truly a paradise on earth!" Chu Wanwan exclaimed, her face beaming with a radiant smile.
"Yes, we are really lucky," Chen Yun exclaimed. "I never expected that there would be such a beautiful valley in this dangerous place."
"What should we do next?" Chen Mo asked.
"These past few days have been strange in the Demon Beast Forest. First, there was a swarm of wolf bees, and then there was a level-five demonic dragon that was originally in the center of the forest. I feel it's dangerous to stay any longer, so we've decided to return to the Immortal Sect first!"
As soon as Chen Yun finished speaking, everyone nodded in agreement.
"Junior brother, you should leave the Monster Forest with them too!"
Chu Wanwan said calmly.
"What about you? Aren't you leaving?" Chen Mo frowned.
"I will train here for three months, and I will return when the time for this sect competition comes!"
Chu Wanwan said with a smile.
"But this jungle is too dangerous, you can't stay here!"
Chen Mo shook his head and refused.
"It's alright, I have my own ways to protect myself! Besides, I also have a teleportation jade token. If I encounter a danger I can't handle, I'll just crush the jade token and return to the Immortal Sect!"
As Chu Wanwan spoke, she took out her jade pendant and showed it to Chen Mo.
Chen Mo looked at it and shook his head. "No, if you don't leave, I won't leave either! You saved my life, I can't leave you alone in the Monster Forest, it's too dangerous here!"
"Look, the demonic dragon is here!" Chu Wanwan suddenly exclaimed in surprise towards Chen Mo's back.
Everyone followed Chu Wanwan's gaze but did not see any demonic dragon.
Turning around, they discovered that Chu Wanwan, who had just been standing next to everyone, had vanished.
"Chen Mo, it seems your junior sister has slipped away!"
Chen Feng's words startled Chen Mo. He looked around and found that Chu Wanwan had indeed disappeared.
He immediately understood that Chu Wanwan had indeed slipped away.
"This junior sister is both bold and cunning!" Chen Mo shook his head with a wry smile.
"Well, since she has chosen to stay and gain experience, we can't force her."
Chen Yun patted Chen Mo on the shoulder and comforted him, "Since she has a teleportation jade token, she should be fine. Let's go back to the Third Heaven first."
Chen Mo nodded. Although he was somewhat worried, he understood that the most important thing now was to return to the sect and tell them about his experience in the Demon Beast Forest, so that his master could rest assured...
So, the group began packing their belongings and left the valley.
Outside the Monster Forest, there are teleportation arrays, and major sects in various regions have teleportation points.
Chen Mo's brothers' sect is also in the Third Heaven, the Xuan Shuang Immortal Sect, which has been ranked second to last for ten thousand years. The sect is not wealthy, so it cannot afford many teleportation jade tokens. Whenever they go out for training, no one is willing to use teleportation jade tokens unless they are in a life-or-death situation.
After all, once it's used, there might not be a second one.
...
As soon as Chen Mo was teleported back to the Star Gate, he was surrounded by the sect leader and elders who were waiting at the teleportation point.
Their eyes were bloodshot, clearly they hadn't slept all night.
"Chen Mo, why did you come back alone? Where is Chu Wanwan?"
Elder Xu asked nervously.
"Chu Wanwan chose to stay in the Monster Forest for three more months to continue her training, and will return to the Immortal Sect when the time for the sect competition arrives."
Chen Mo answered with his head down.
He felt ashamed for not protecting his junior sister.
"What? She's left alone in the Monster Forest? Don't you know how dangerous it is there?" Elder Xu frowned, his voice filled with obvious worry.
Chen Mo quickly explained, "Elder, please calm down. Chu Wanwan was not acting rashly. She has a teleportation jade token, which allows her to return to the Immortal Sect in time if she encounters danger."
Moreover, that little guy said he had a way to save his life. I don't know what other methods he had, but it's true that he could run fast!
You wouldn't believe it, but when she came back, she wanted to train in the Monster Forest on her own. I disagreed, and in the blink of an eye, she disappeared without a trace.
Although she didn't know what kind of technique this was, this ability would certainly greatly increase her chances of survival in the Monster Forest.
Elder Xu's brows relaxed slightly upon hearing this. "Disappeared in the blink of an eye? How is that possible? It's not like a Void Realm expert can tear through the void. How could she vanish in an instant?"
Chen Mo gave a wry smile. "Elder, I don't know what methods she used, but she did disappear right under our noses. I think that might be the way she was trying to save her life."
