Chapter 52
When Mu Chen and the three of them entered the area above the island in the middle of the lake, the octagonal octopus also dived under the lake one after another, and did not continue to attack.
It seems that these octagonal octopuses are the guardians of the area ten meters outside the island.
When they came to the sky above the island, Mu Chen and the three of them were not in a hurry to jump down.
Instead, he rode the Chaos Giant and simply circled the island.
This small island in the middle of the lake is not very large, the whole island is shrouded by large trees, and from a distance, it looks like a ball of green grass, lush and green.
Through the sparse foliage, you can see that the island is full of colorful wildflowers, "thousands of flowers and low branches".
When the wind blows, the petals and seeds of hope fall with the wind, like a small umbrella.
In the middle of the island, it is divided by a meandering stream. The stream flows slowly and is crystal clear. The pebbles are clean, and the creek is shimmered with beams of sunlight through the cracks of the leaves.
There are many small willow trees beside the stream, which fall on the surface of the stream and come to life.
Everything on the island looks so beautiful that there's nothing out of the ordinary.
Riding the Chaos Dragon around the island, the three of them have not found anything suspicious so far.
But......
Mu Chen suddenly thought that every time he found an opportunity, wasn't there a stream next to it?
Whether it's a babbling, crystal-clear stream, or a stream that has dried up, leaving only a faint trace.
At least, there is a very big chance in their vicinity.
Therefore, Mu Chen also guessed that although the fate on this small island seemed to be very well hidden, as long as he carefully observed it, Mu Chen didn't believe it, and the three of them couldn't find the flaws here.
Therefore, Mu Chen also controlled the Chaos Dragon, causing the three of them to fly to the side of the stream.
Coming to the vicinity of the stream, Mu Chen also took the Chaos Dragon back into his body.
Everything around seems to be very normal, except for ......
When Mu Chen carefully observed the surroundings, Yang Yilan hurriedly pulled the corner of Mu Chen's clothes, and pointed straight to the stream next to the three of them.
"Look, doesn't the stream here look a little bit blue?"
Following the direction of Yang Yilan's finger, Mu Chen also slowly shifted his gaze, squatting down and carefully observing the stream in front of him.
Indeed, as Yang Yilan said, the stream here is actually a little bit blue.
Perhaps there is something strange about this stream, and perhaps the light blue water hides a message about the fate of this small island.
Hearing the conversation between Mu Chen and Yang Yilan, Tan Wan also turned his gaze to the stream beside him.
Pale blue, what secrets will be hidden in this stream?
With his own doubts, Tan Wan actually put his hand straight into the creek and carefully sensed the state in the stream.
Mu Chen was also taken aback by Tan Wan's sudden action, and couldn't help but blame Tan Wan on the side, "Don't be too hasty, if there are any traps in these waters, it's not good." ”
However, in the face of Mu Chen's blame, Tan Wan looked at the two of them excitedly, and his mouth kept calling, "Spiritual power!
Looking at Tan Wan, who was like a baboon in front of them, Mu Chen and Yang Yilan also hurriedly put their hands into the stream, and then they found that in this stream, there was an incomparably majestic spiritual power of heaven and earth.
Moreover, this stream seems to have a ability to hinder the spread of spiritual power from heaven and earth.
Because Mu Chen, he couldn't feel a trace of heaven and earth spiritual power near the stream.
It seems that the real secret lies in this creek.
Since there is heaven and earth spiritual power hidden in the stream, then the source of these heaven and earth spiritual power should be the birthplace of the stream.
After calming down their excitement, Mu Chen and the three of them quickly walked forward against the direction of the stream.
When heading to the birthplace of the stream, Mu Chen also stopped from time to time, stretched his hand into the stream on the side, and felt the strength and weakness of the spiritual power of heaven and earth in the stream.
Of course, in the end, I was surprised to find that the spiritual power of heaven and earth contained in the creek was becoming more and more majestic.
It seems that the direction in which Mu Chen and the three of them walked was not wrong, when he drove the Chaos Dragon down, Mu Chen just wanted to land the three of them next to the stream, but he didn't pay too much attention to which section of the stream the three of them landed in.
Therefore, Mu Chen couldn't judge how far away the three of them were from the birthplace of the creek.
However, feeling the changes in the concentration of heaven and earth's spiritual power in the creek, Mu Chen also guessed that the three of them should not be far from the birthplace of the creek.
Of course, walking along the stream, the rustle of the leaves in the breeze around him, and the murmuring of the water in the stream, once made Mu Chen think that the surrounding environment was too normal.
However, when everyone walked for a long time, Mu Chen discovered the strangeness here.
There were no other animals on this island except the three of them.
There were no birds, no insects, and when he thought about it, Mu Chen felt that the surroundings were so terrifying.
However, Mu Chen did not tell Tan Wan and Yang Yilan about this discovery.
After all, even if Mu Chen told the two of them about this discovery, he would not be able to find a corresponding countermeasure, and it would just increase everyone's fear for no reason.
Therefore, these questions should wait until everyone has reached the source of the creek and pondered in detail.
It has been almost half an hour since everyone set out.
When he rode the Chaos Dragon around the island, Mu Chen didn't realize that the island was so huge.
However, the surrounding trees are luxuriant, and it is inconvenient to summon his own Chaos Dragon again.
Therefore, the three of Mu Chen only moved forward slowly one step at a time.
It was about a quarter of an hour before they came to what looked to be the source of the creek—a small cave.
And it was out of that cave that the brook flowed.
Approaching the cave, a strong spiritual power of heaven and earth rushed towards his face, which faintly exceeded the concentration of spiritual power that the three of them had given when they completed the hidden task in the second stage of the ancient monument.
Feeling such a rich concentration of spiritual power, the three of them couldn't help but smile, and Mu Chen looked into the cave, the cave here was dark and dark, and he couldn't see the environment inside at all.
The three of them were also standing outside the cave, hesitating whether to go in.
And Mu Chen also gave his own answer after thinking about it - after the trials of the first two stages of the monument, Tan Wan and Yang Yilan also faintly reached the peak of the out-of-body area.
Therefore, Mu Chen's suggestion was that since the spiritual power of heaven and earth outside this cave was so strong, then inside the cave, there would definitely be some extremely powerful creatures.
Mu Chen also told the two of them that there were no other animals around along the way, and he also speculated that the reason why there were no other animals on this small island might be the ghosts caused by the creatures bred in this cave.
If his guess is not wrong, then the three of them rashly breaking into the cave now is undoubtedly a way to die.
Therefore, the best way now is to use the abundant spiritual power of heaven and earth around here, just sit down in place, meditate and cultivate, and consolidate and improve your cultivation.
Let's see if Tan Wan and Yang Yilan can really step into the peak of the out-of-body period.
Maybe with the help of the spiritual power of the surrounding heaven and earth, the two of them can be directly promoted to the distraction period.
What I have to do now is to improve my cultivation outside this cave.
If you can improve your cultivation to a higher level, you will not lose anything.
And, since the third stage of the monument has been reached here. Then, all the places here that may trigger the hidden mission, everyone should not rush in, maybe because of the hidden mission, a powerful monster suddenly appeared and ended everyone.
Therefore, before Tan Wan and Yang Yilan are promoted to the distraction period, it is better not to enter this cave first.
It would be great if we could survive like this until the end of the third stage.
However, if you can really advance to the distraction period, then it is not too late to enter this cave to explore at that time.
After listening to Mu Chen's suggestion, Tan Wan and Yang Yilan also nodded hurriedly, feeling that Mu Chen's suggestion was perfect.
So just like that, Mu Chen and the three of them did not enter the inside of this cave, but sat quietly outside the cave, absorbing the spiritual power of the surrounding heaven and earth, and slowly cultivated and meditated.
With such a rich spiritual power of heaven and earth, Mu Chen naturally can't waste it. I also sat down on the side and cultivated.
On his left hand, the magic circle carved by the Void Lord suddenly shone brightly, frantically absorbing the spiritual power of the surrounding heaven and earth.
However, Mu Chen summoned his own wooden sword, and the spiritual power of heaven and earth absorbed by the magic circle was actually distributed to the fifth layer of the wooden sword!
Isn't there a need to improve cultivation at the moment?
Of course not, but Mu Chen's psychology has his own little abacus.
That is, with the help of the spiritual power of the surrounding heaven and earth, Mu Chen felt that he should be able to faintly improve his cultivation to the peak of the middle stage of distraction.
Then the remaining excess spiritual power is used to transmit to his own wooden sword, to see if he can unlock the seal on the wooden sword again.
Why did he only raise his cultivation to the peak of the middle stage of distraction at the moment? It was because Mu Chen was also eyeing the Four Clans Competition in a year's time.
It's just that the Four Clans Competition can only be participated in by immortal cultivators in the distraction period, and after this opportunity, coupled with more than a year of cultivation in the future, there is enough confidence to improve their cultivation to the peak of the distraction period.
Therefore, for the spiritual power of heaven and earth this time, he is not in a hurry to assimilate it, but wants to use it to unlock the seal on his wooden sword, so that he can have enough hole cards to compete for the place to participate in the four clan competition.
