Chapter 716: Deep Sleep
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Qin Chen’s teeth were about to be crushed. At this moment, he was trying to make up his mind.
He must not be misled by the fog and jump into the River Lethe. If he did that, it was very likely that he would not be able to survive.
Once he really entered the River Lethe, he would die. Even a God on Earth would find it difficult to save him.
Thinking of this, he wanted to escape.
He had just thought of turning around but was instantly frozen on the spot.
Some kind of power seemed to have unknowingly entered his body.
The power did not hurt him, nor did it bring him any pain, but it intensified the struggle and torment in Qin Chen’s heart.
It wanted to make Qin Chen take the initiative to take another step forward and enter the River Lethe.
Qin Chen had never gone through such a terrifying experience. He was extremely clear-headed at this moment, but he couldn’t control his body. It was as if two people were living in one body. What was going on?
Even Qin Chen himself couldn’t tell if he was still the real him.
He wanted to leave the River Lethe but had now fallen into the quagmire again, losing all intention of leaving.
This made Qin Chen feel like retreating. On the one hand, he was in awe of the unpredictable River Lethe. On the other hand, he was afraid that he would really lose control and jump into the River Lethe.
Thinking of this, Qin Chen frowned.
At this moment, he wished that someone could save him from this place.
Unfortunately, there was no one behind him now. Even in front of him, there was only the surging surface of the bottomless River Lethe.
The white fog seemed to also be tempting Qin Chen to step forward, so much so that he could not tell where he was.
He didn’t know if the River Lethe was in front of him or behind him. If he made the wrong choice, he would likely end up in the wrong place and step into the River Lethe.
Right now, Qin Chen felt like he was sitting on pins and needles. He didn’t know what to do.
He bit the tip of his tongue. Instantly, his mind became much clearer. He sat down cross-legged and began to lock his senses, wanting to resist the strange power of the River Lethe.
However, even after doing so many things, there was no way he could completely resist it.
Thinking of this, Qin Chen went crazy. He forced his soul into a deep sleep.
This way, he might be able to wait for a turn of events.
Qin Chen had been in the white fog for quite some time now. At this point, he looked as if he was about to die.
The life force in his body was constantly flowing away, and at the same time, his lifespan was also decreasing. No one knew where the life force had gone.
Qin Chen couldn’t sense the slightest change in the outside world since his soul had fallen into a deep sleep.
There would ultimately be one more corpse on the bank of the River Lethe.
When Qin Chen’s physical body was dead, his primordial spirit would dissipate.
At that time, he would be at his wit’s end.
In this white fog, Qin Chen didn’t know whether he could be reincarnated if he died.
Time passed bit by bit, and the people in the outside world could no longer hold themselves back.
Unfortunately, Daoist Jiuji had been blocking their way, preventing them from entering the fog to find Qin Chen.
“After such a long time, something might have happened to the Elder King long ago. If you don’t move away, then don’t blame me for being rude.”
The big scorpion was like an ant on a hot pan. He was extremely anxious.
God knows how many times he had wanted to rush in and save the Elder King, but unfortunately, he had been stopped by Daoist Jiuji.
In the words of Daoist Jiuji, the last thing Qin Chen wanted to see right now was someone going in to save him.
After all, even someone like Qin Chen, who had many trump cards, had died inside.
As such, even if they entered now, what could they do?
They would only end up with a one-way ticket.
Daoist Jiuji raised his eyebrows and could not hide his anger.
To think this puny God Emperor-realm demon race cultivator was so impudent and arrogant in front of him.
If it was anyone else, they might have been crushed to death by him.
However, he could understand that everyone was acting like this because they were anxious.
After all, Qin Chen had entered the River Lethe for God knows how long now.
None of them knew what had happened in the fog.
“The Elder King’s life and death are still unknown. If you insist on entering, I won’t stop you. However, I want to warn you first. If you go in, you won’t have the chance to come out again. Similarly, if you die inside, there will be no way to save Qin Chen.”
These words were powerful, and everyone was immediately enlightened.
The big scorpion wasn’t the only one who wanted to go in and save the Elder King.
The others, including the flame-wing beast and the true dragon, also wanted to enter, but they were all stopped by Daoist Jiuji.
“Then tell me, what should we do now?”
Holy Maiden Mu Xue’s eyes were red. A teardrop fell onto the ground.
To them, Qin Chen was the most important person. He had risked his life to get them here.
Their relationship could not be measured by any standard.
If Qin Chen died, they might as well enter the River Lethe to accompany the Elder King.
Daoist Jiuji was in a dilemma. He couldn’t think of a way to save Qin Chen.
Legend had it that the 800-mile River Lethe was extremely evil. As long as one entered, there would be no chance to come out. Even quasi-emperor-realm experts who wanted to cross it died there and lost all news.
One could imagine how dangerous Qin Chen’s current situation was.
If they couldn’t come up with a solution now, perhaps Qin Chen would die soon, and they wouldn’t even be able to find him.
Therefore, the big scorpion said, “Even if I die inside, it’s my fault. It’s none of your business. If I can’t even see the Elder King for the last time, then I might regret it for the rest of my life.”
At this point, the big scorpion ignored Daoist Jiuji’s obstruction and walked straight into the thick fog.
This time, he was going to do everything he could to save the Elder King..
