My gorgeous wife

Chapter 2300: Chapter 2268: Corpse Witch

The Slumbering Mound is a colossal entity.

According to legend, when the Slumbering Mound first appeared, it was merely a burial ground and not this large.

However, as more and more demon creatures and various strange beings appeared within the Slumbering Mound, the poison fog that originally only spread within the Mound began to spread outward, leading to the natural expansion of the Slumbering Mound.

According to the information that Duan Yu told Li Chen when leaving, Duan Yu suddenly felt himself growing stronger just outside this Slumbering Mound.

Moreover, based on the information Li Chen gathered, over a hundred years ago, that supernatural phenomenon also appeared above the Slumbering Mound. With just these two points, Li Chen felt he must take a look.

"This place definitely holds secrets."

Li Chen gazed at the misty fog ahead, a thoughtful expression on his face.

"Master, should we go in?" Below him, Little Feng suddenly spoke.

Li Chen thought for a moment, then nodded: "Let’s go in."

Upon hearing this, Little Feng said no more and began to move forward in silence. However, this time, his speed was much slower than before. Apparently, even Little Feng sensed the danger in this place and had to become more cautious.

At this moment, an additional silhouette suddenly appeared on Little Feng’s back.

"This place is indeed strange."

The sudden voice startled Little Feng, causing him to tense up subconsciously. Just as he was about to ask Li Chen, he felt Li Chen’s hand gently resting on his large head, saying softly, "No need to be nervous, keep moving."

After speaking, Li Chen looked towards the other silhouette that had appeared on Little Feng’s back and asked, "What’s your take?"

The young-looking silhouette wrinkled its nose and said, "It’s all the smell of rot, with not a trace of vital essence, as if... the vital essence here has been completely drained by something."

This time, Li Chen didn’t bring any Supreme Treasure; all the Supreme Treasures were left with his family.

In his view, even if he encountered a major crisis now, he still had some ability to protect himself, whereas his family clearly needed the protection of the Supreme Treasures more.

Therefore, the speaking silhouette was naturally Red Moon, which had been slumbering in Li Chen’s body for quite some time.

Since absorbing the last remnants of Blood Saint in the minor world of Heartless Sea, Red Moon had grown increasingly spiritual.

Perhaps, just as Blood Saint said, one day, Red Moon might break the limitations between living beings and instruments to become a unique existence.

Upon hearing Red Moon’s words, Li Chen also nodded. Although he was now in the Heaven and Earth Realm, when it came to understanding the Law of Blood, he couldn’t even compare to Blood Saint of the past. Since Red Moon had inherited Blood Saint’s mantle, its sensitivity to blood was far superior to his own. If even Red Moon said so, then there must be something eerie about this place.

"If the supernatural phenomenon from over a hundred years ago was indeed caused by the old man, then without a doubt, the first place he arrived at was here." Li Chen frowned.

He remembered something.

Because decades ago, there was another supernatural phenomenon, but that time it wasn’t above the Slumbering Mound.

"So, did the old man come here and then leave?"

He pondered, considering whether there was truly something here. Otherwise, why would Li Changcun come here immediately upon his arrival?

However, if the second supernatural phenomenon was also caused by Li Changcun, then without a doubt, Li Changcun left here.

Would there still be a need for him to continue exploring?

"Let’s take another look." After thinking it over, Li Chen decided he still needed to explore a bit further, because it was just his guess after all. He could not fully confirm the truth; besides, having come this far to the Slumbering Mound, leaving now would really be a waste of time.

What if he went to the second location only to find it wasn’t where Li Changcun was, would he not have to return to continue exploring?

With doubts in his mind, Li Chen continued advancing towards the Slumbering Mound.

The central region of the Slumbering Mound was different from the outer region. Here, indeed, there were many powerful creatures and extremely poisonous toxins and insectoids.

Walking through such a place, even with the strong physique of the People of Eight Directions Star, one could perish in an instant if not careful.

Of course, these things couldn’t get close to Li Chen at all.

When passing certain places, Li Chen indeed found many corpses of powerful creatures, as well as some treasures they left behind.

Evidently, to most beings in the Slumbering Mound, these items, extremely precious in the eyes of ordinary people, were not worth their attention, and even of no use to them.

And such things, which even the creatures of the Slumbering Mound disregarded, Li Chen naturally looked down upon even more.

"Master... I can’t hold on much longer." After walking for a while, Little Feng said with some pain.

Because Little Feng felt that the surrounding toxins were starting to corrode his domain as well.

Clearly, this place was indeed a wasteland to most, capable of even corroding the domains of Domain Realm Experts.

Li Chen slightly turned his head and called out once to the youth behind him.

"Red Moon."

Red Moon nodded. As Li Chen’s long-time close weapon, it had already reached a state of shared understanding with him.

In a single thought, a blood-colored space unfurled, instantly enveloping Li Chen and Little Feng, clearing the surrounding space.

All the toxins dissolved completely in an instant.

Little Feng’s previously pale complexion only improved slightly, as he looked at Red Moon with some reverence, carrying the two of them onwards.

The master had quietly informed him that this blood-clad youth was indeed the master’s personal blade.

If even the weapons or blades were so powerful, then just how powerful was the master himself?

Although Little Feng’s face still looked unwell, he felt a sense of joy. After all, was it not immense good fortune to follow such a powerful master?

"Stop."

After walking a bit more, Li Chen suddenly called Little Feng to stop.

Little Feng stopped, somewhat puzzled.

Li Chen didn’t speak, but his gaze was fixed on a distance.

All along the way, almost no creature dared approach him. Whether demon creatures or insectoids, when nearing him, they would be intimidated by an unwittingly emitted aura from Li Chen and promptly retreat.

However, at this time, in a swamp area ahead, several figures gradually rose, climbing onto the land, their ghostly gazes watching him from afar.

Daring to block Li Chen’s path clearly indicated that not only were they terrifying and strange, but they also possessed some reason and confidence, boldly standing in front of him.

"Interesting," Li Chen’s lips curled: "This must be the legendary ’Cursed Necromancer’, right?"
