Most of the things could be placed in this tree hole. Anyway, the seed was in Lu Chen's chest, so it was easy to take it out. However, some self-defense items had to be carried, such as the black dagger that Lu Chen was most comfortable with.
As for Atsu, its sharp fangs were its weapons, so there was no need to prepare anything.
When everything was almost ready, Lu Chen threw the last bit of meat to Atsu, then patted its head and said, "Eat more, I don't know what will happen later."
Atsu obediently lowered its head and began to eat. Lu Chen sat down to rest, quietly waiting for the fateful moment to arrive.
Thinking back to the scene when he just escaped into the tree hole, there was a high possibility that the outside of this seed was still under the incomparably dangerous Dragon River. If that was really the case, with the double threat of the boundless river water and ferocious beasts, it was really a hopeless situation with only a slim chance of survival.
However, thinking about this at this moment was useless. He could only use the phrase "leave it to fate" to mock himself. Anyway, staying in this tree hole would only mean starving to death, so he might as well take a gamble. Lu Chen slightly shook his head, shaking off these thoughts that troubled his mind. His gaze swept across the inside of the tree hole, and saw the half of the Fire God's Staff lying in the corner.
After fusing with the cluster of black flames in the puddle, the current Fire God's Staff could be said to have changed. The surface was obviously much smoother, most of the cracks had also disappeared, and in many places, the faint lines of the totem runes could even be seen. And, as long as Lu Chen held the Fire God's Staff and activated the power of the black flames, the Fire God's Staff would shine and brighten.
But it was only shining and shining, other than that, it was useless.
Lu Chen had tried many times, and many methods, but he could not find the trick to activate the Fire God's Staff's power. Especially when he was in the barbarian tribe, the strange power of the Fire God's Staff seemed to have completely disappeared without a trace.
It could be said that this Fire God's Staff was one of the most inexplicable and bizarre magical weapons that Lu Chen had ever seen in his life. However, once he thought that this thing was related to the equally bizarre and ferocious Black Flame Curse, it did not seem strange anymore.
Lu Chen held the Vulcan Staff in his hand and played with it for a while. After pondering for a while, he put it aside.
The origin of this magic treasure was mysterious, and the power it contained was astonishing. However, he didn't know how to use it. If he brought it with him when he went out, it would be very easy for him to accidentally lose it in some dangerous situation. That would not be good.
After sitting for a while, Atsu had finished eating all the meat. He licked his lips and walked over with a satisfied look, which was rare for him.
Lu Chen stood up and patted Atsu's back. He took a deep breath, smiled at Atsu, and said, "Let's go?"
"Woof!"
…
That familiar dizziness made him feel as if the world had turned upside down and the world was spinning. Everything in front of him was pitch black. It was as if he had passed through an endless starry sky, or as if he had passed through the deep sea. There was a constant roar in his ears, but he couldn't make out what exactly it was.
That moment was supposed to be short, but it seemed strangely long. Lu Chen could even clearly feel his body floating and swaying, as well as the cold feeling coming from his surroundings. He subconsciously curled up his body, like a lonely child facing the dark night in fear.
Then, light shone and sprinkled down.
"Bang!" Two bodies fell heavily to the ground. At the same time, there was a little splash. When Lu Chen woke up, his first reaction was to immediately grasp the black sword tightly and look around. Atsu, who had fallen at the same time beside him, also reacted quickly. It jumped up, bared its teeth, and looked around fiercely.
It was daytime.
The scorching sun hung in the sky, and the sunlight shone on the earth. There seemed to be a desolate atmosphere floating in the air. They were on the riverbank of a large river. The river water that washed ashore from time to time even wet the bottom of Lu Chen's pants.
The river was a large river, and it looked extremely wide. At a glance, it was almost impossible to see the other side. This made Lu Chen subconsciously think of the Dragon River that he had fallen into.
Could it be that his luck was so good that the seed was actually washed ashore by the river?
For a moment, Lu Chen was in a daze. After a while, he gradually came back to his senses and looked around. He saw that the riverbank he was in was filled with rocks, and the area was also very large. The rocks spread far and wide, and in the distance, there seemed to be a wasteland.
As far as his eyes could see, he actually didn't see a single tree. It was the same even on this riverbank. Other than the sound of the flowing river, there was no other sound. Lu Chen slightly frowned, and a trace of vigilance flashed across his eyes.
Although this land was quiet, it did not look safe. There was something strange about it. There was plenty of water on the riverbank. Logically speaking, there should be a lot of vegetation. However, not even a single blade of grass grew here, let alone any animals or monsters.
The land was dead silent, as if there was no life.
After a moment of silence, Lu Chen brought Atsu, who was also a little surprised, and walked a few more steps towards the riverbank. After confirming that there was no danger around, he put away the black short sword in his hand and let out a long breath.
Although this land still looked a little strange, no matter what, being able to stand on this land safely was already many times better than the terrible situation that he had expected before he came out.
Now that he was temporarily safe, the next thing he had to do was to determine where he was. However, this was where Lu Chen ran into trouble. Apart from the fact that he could roughly determine that the river next to him was the Dragon River, Lu Chen had never heard of this desolate land.
He did not know how far the seed had been washed away by the river during this period of time. Although the Dragon River was the boundary river in the central region of the Land of Chaos, in reality, the river still flowed into an unknown place in the depths of the Land of Chaos. Lu Chen faintly felt that he was currently somewhere in the central region of the Land of Chaos.
After pondering for a while, Lu Chen finally decided to walk around. At the very least, he had to take a look before deciding. Although this place was full of danger, the good thing was that after surviving this calamity, his pursuers probably wouldn't be able to catch up to him for a while.
Because the river bank, or rather, the wasteland behind the rocky beach, looked shockingly vast, almost like a large piece of barren land, Lu Chen didn't dare to rashly enter. Instead, he walked along the direction of the river to see if he could find any clues.
However, just as he was about to raise his Qi and dash forward, he suddenly let out a muffled groan. His entire face instantly turned pale, and he directly fell to the ground.
Atsu, who was standing beside Lu Chen, was shocked. He instinctively jumped away, then hurriedly ran back to Lu Chen and rubbed his head against Lu Chen's body.
Lu Chen gasped for breath with an unbearable pain on his face. Beads of sweat seeped out of his forehead. After a while, his painful appearance slowly calmed down and he sat up. His face gradually revealed a trace of disbelief.
Just now, when he subconsciously planned to urge the spiritual power in his body to hurry on, all the meridians in his body suddenly twisted together. All of the spiritual power seemed to have instantly gone out of control and crazily crashed into the meridians. That situation was really like being possessed by the devil.
Fortunately, after the battle ten years ago, his body's cultivation was greatly damaged. Today's spiritual power was no longer the same as it was in the past, so the damage caused wasn't too big. If it was any other Foundation Establishment or Jin Dan Friar, it was very likely that they would be in danger of exploding.
Lu Chen was really shocked. If he couldn't use spiritual power, he was almost no different from an ordinary person. If a slightly more powerful demonic beast came, he wouldn't have the power to protect himself. This place was completely desolate. It really was an extremely sinister place, dangerous and immeasurable.
However, it was also at this time that Lu Chen's heart suddenly moved and he thought of something else.
The situation just now was a little similar to the legendary deepest part of the Land of Chaos, where the five elemental spiritual power had reached the most chaotic and crazy place. It was said that the five elemental spiritual power in the deepest part of the Land of Chaos was chaotic and could not be absorbed at all. Even if one used their own spiritual power, they would immediately be affected by the outside world and suffer a backlash. It was one of the most dangerous places in the world.
Lu Chen was stunned for a moment. The five elemental spiritual energy was so chaotic. Could it be that he wasn't in the middle of the Land of Chaos, but the most dangerous part of the Land of Chaos?
Thinking of this, Lu Chen couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.
It must be known that the center of the Land of Chaos was a place of natural danger, led by the Chaos Abyss, the Spirit Shattering Sand Sea, and other dangerous places. It was a place that even a Perfected Yuanying cultivator wouldn't dare to easily set foot in. With his current abilities, he might not be able to get out of this place.
After standing in a daze for a moment, Lu Chen quickly calmed down. Since he was already in this situation, he could only take it one step at a time.
He turned around and called out to Atsu before continuing forward.
However, after taking two steps, he suddenly stopped and turned to look at Atsu. He said with some surprise, "Eh, are you alright?"
Ah-Tu wagged his tail and skipped a few times beside him, looking rather pleased with himself.
"Oh, I'm alright. That's great." Lu Chen smiled and said, "Come over and carry me."
…
With this huge black wolf as a mount, the journey was naturally much longer. As for why this place didn't affect Atsu, it was probably because it was a demonic beast and didn't have any five elemental spiritual power.
Lu Chen didn't know the reason and couldn't be bothered to think about it. After riding Atsu for half a day, a mountain suddenly appeared in front of him.
It was a tall and majestic mountain that blocked out the sun.
