It was still alright now. At least Qin Chen had successfully survived.

Originally, he thought that he would die in there. After all, no one should have the confidence to bring him out of the white fog.

“That thick fog actually made your illusions not listen to your orders and even produce consciousness?”

This was what shocked Qin Chen. In comparison, the dangers they had experienced before seemed like nothing.

That fog was truly evil, causing Qin Chen to feel despair. In the end, he had no choice but to force his soul into a deep sleep.

He was helpless.

Right now, Qin Chen and the others couldn’t think of any way to cross the

800-mile River Lethe.

However, after Daoist Jiuji spoke, Qin Chen saw hope again.

“If it’s within a short time, I can still form illusions and use them as coordinates.”

As long as a safe return could be guaranteed, Qin Chen was willing to try again to see what dangers the River Lethe contained.

Only when he truly came into contact with the River Lethe would he know what to do. Otherwise, they would be like now, headless chickens.

Hearing Qin Chen’s words, everyone nodded.

This time, Qin Chen decided to enter again, but he didn’t bring anyone else with him except for Daoist Jiuji. This was because other than Daoist Jiuji, the big scorpion and the others could not help him at all. They might even become a burden.

The remaining people nodded in agreement. They weren’t strong enough, after all.

At this moment, Qin Chen had recovered from his injuries and replenished the vitality that he had lost.

He also realized that the natural treasures he had seemed to be somewhat insufficient.

At this point, they could only seize the time and try to find a way to cross the 800-mile River Lethe.

This was the only way to survive. Thinking of this, Qin Chen joined hands with Daoist Jiuji and stepped into the white fog.

By now, Daoist Jiuji had learned his lesson. When he condensed the illusions, he deliberately held back his power. This made the current illusions extremely weak, so weak that even the God Emperor-realm big scorpion could easily destroy them.

With this, no matter how many illusions were condensed, Qin Chen and Daoist Jiuji would be able to easily destroy them when they formed consciousness.

“My illusions should not last more than four hours. Once four hours have passed, the first illusion that I have condensed will have a chance of forming consciousness within the white fog.”

With this, Qin Chen understood that in four hours, no matter if they had found a way to cross the 800-mile River Lethe, they could only leave and return first. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.

He nodded to Daoist Jiuji and the latter condensed another illusion.

In the white fog, his connection with the illusions was constantly weakening.

When the connection was completely weakened and ultimately disappeared, the illusions condensed by Daoist Jiuji would then have independent consciousness.

Even Daoist Jiuji, who was only a step away from the quasi-emperor realm, had never heard of such a strange fog.

At this point, Qin Chen had reached the bank of the River Lethe with Daoist Jiuji.

Hearing the sound of flowing water once again, Daoist Jiuji felt quite fearful.

On the other hand, Qin Chen was much calmer. After all, with the previous experience, he knew that as long as there was there was someone else with him, the other party could probably stop him from falling into that desperate struggle in time. This way, the fog could not affect his mind.

Thinking of this, Qin Chen spoke, “Wait for me first. Don’t come near. If I do anything, remember to stop me.”

Daoist Jiuji nodded at Qin Chen. He knew that the latter was in an extremely dangerous situation now. If it really came to that, he would stop Qin Chen and knock him out before bringing him out no matter what.

After all, the 800-mile River Lethe was very notorious. Quasi-emperor-realm experts once tried to cross it, but they died and were never heard of again.

In contrast, the two of them had not even touched the threshold of the quasi-emperor realm.

Their action of coming over now was simply like a sheep entering a tiger’s mouth, sending themselves to death’s door.

However, there was no other way. At this point, even Qin Chen couldn’t find a way to cross the 800-mile River Lethe. As such, he could only continue to explore, hoping to find some opportunities on the surface of the River Lethe.

Qin Chen let out a heavy breath. He took a step forward and approached the River Lethe. Once again, he came near the surface of the water.

Looking at his reflection, he could not help but feel fear. Last time, he almost fell into the trap and take the initiative to enter the River Lethe.

This time, with Daoist Jiuji behind him, it gave Qin Chen a greater sense of security. As a result, he actually took the initiative to put his hand into the River Lethe.

It was also at this moment that Qin Chen was suddenly shocked because he felt that a pair of hands seemed to have grabbed him.

“Not good!”

Qin Chen looked into the River Lethe and saw that a pair of black hands had grabbed his wrists. Moreover, the hands were rotten as if they had been underwater for an unknown time.

Qin Chen had never encountered such a strange scene before.

Something must have happened under the River Lethe.

He was now extremely shocked, and his scalp went numb.

Anyone would be terrified if they were suddenly grabbed by a pair of terrifying hands.

Still, Qin Chen was calmer now. He took out the innate sword embryo, wanting to cut the pair of rotten hands.

Upon seeing Qin Chen’s strange actions, Daoist Jiuji hurried forward to rescue him, wanting to pull him back from the bank.

He was afraid that Qin Chen would jump into the River Lethe. If that happened, even he wouldn’t dare to save the latter.

“Don’t come over. I should be able to handle it.”

Hearing this, Daoist Jiuji’s heart settled down. At least, Qin Chen was still in a relatively clear-headed state.

Since the other party had already spoken, he did not have to make a move.
