The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

Chapter 2497 # Shi Potian and Bai Chen Return

Time passed quietly, and more than twenty days passed in a flash.

On this day, Shi Potian and Bai Chen finally returned to the flying boat.

When their figures appeared on the deck, everyone's eyes were focused on them.

However, the two people who had just returned were as pale as paper and their breathing was extremely disordered. It was obvious that they had experienced a lot of hardships outside and were seriously injured.

When Matthew saw them like this, his heart tightened slightly.

He did not immediately ask the two what had happened to them. Instead, he quickly took out a healing pill from his storage bag, handed it to the two, and said softly, "Take this healing pill first to ease your injuries."

Bai Chen's injuries looked more serious. His body was trembling slightly and his breathing seemed rapid and difficult.

Seeing this, Matthew took out two healing pills without hesitation and handed them to Bai Chen.

Then, he looked at the Azure Dragon Beast King beside him and said, "Please use your secret technique to help Bai Chen recover faster."

The Azure Dragon Beast King nodded slightly, emitting a mysterious power as it slowly approached Bai Chen.

This is a secret technique that Matthew recently learned from the Azure Dragon Beast King. It is said that it can speed up recovery from injuries. At the moment, this is all he can hope for.

With the strength of Shi Potian and Bai Chen, they were actually injured so badly, which made everyone feel shocked.

Everyone knew that the place they were going to must be hiding huge dangers, as it could have caused the two of them to be injured so badly in such a short period of time.

In the next few days, with everyone's careful care, Shi Potian and Bai Chen's injuries were finally under control.

However, a complete recovery cannot be achieved in just a few days.

Their bodies are still relatively weak and they have difficulty moving.

Inside the cabin, everyone sat around Shi Potian and Bai Chen, their eyes full of concern and questions.

Everyone was waiting for the two to talk about their experiences going out this time.

After a while, Bai Chen spoke first, breaking the silence in the cabin.

His voice was a little weak, but his eyes were firm as he said, "It's very dangerous down there in the mine."

After hearing this, Matthew and the others' expressions changed slightly. They all looked at him attentively and listened quietly to what was going on.

Bai Chen continued, "However, there are no monsters down there, but there are a lot of restrictions and magic arrays."

Hearing Bai Chen's words, the expressions of Matthew and others changed slightly again.

They originally thought that there might be monsters haunting the mine, but now it seems that things are not as simple as they imagined.

Shi Potian nodded slightly and added, "After we went deeper, we encountered countless restrictions and magic arrays along the way. At the beginning, we encountered some ordinary restrictions. Although these restrictions were a bit troublesome, they were not enough to cause us too much trouble. We relied on our own strength and experience to resolve these ordinary restrictions one by one. However, as we continued to go deeper, the restrictions and magic arrays we encountered became more and more powerful. Each restriction and magic array contains powerful power. It takes a lot of our energy and time to crack them."

There was a hint of helplessness and fatigue in Shi Potian's tone.

When faced with these powerful prohibitions and magic arrays, they had to make tremendous efforts to make every step forward.

If you are not careful, you may end up in an irretrievable situation.

Shi Potian and Bai Chen looked at each other, and then Shi Potian said slowly: "But we didn't encounter a single monster from beginning to end. This is extremely unusual. When we were outside the mine, the smell of monsters was still very strong, and we originally thought that there would be a large number of monsters below. But in fact, the situation below was completely beyond our expectations."

After hearing this, Matthew and others couldn't help but feel confused.

There are no monsters, but there are a large number of restrictions and magic arrays. What secrets are hidden behind them?

Shi Potian continued, "We can be sure that those magic arrays and prohibitions were not set up by the demons, but were all created by humans. Judging from the structure and operation of these magic arrays and prohibitions, they are completely different from the style of the demons. This makes us even more confused. Why are there so many magic arrays and prohibitions set up by humans under the mine?"

Bai Chen continued, "When we two finally found a way to leave and were about to escape, we were chased by a group of strange monks!"

When Shi Potian said the last sentence, a strong murderous intent burst out from his eyes.

His hands were clenched tightly into fists and his body was trembling slightly. He was obviously filled with anger towards the monks who were chasing them.

"We were not injured down there, the reason for this is that we were being chased by those monks!" Bai Chen said angrily.

His body leaned forward slightly, and hatred gleamed in his eyes.

He was not afraid, but he had a strong murderous intent towards the monks who were chasing them.

"Those monks are very powerful. They seem to have discovered our whereabouts and chased us all the way. We had to give it our all to get rid of them. In this fierce battle, although we relied on our own strength and experience to barely get rid of their pursuit, we were also seriously injured." Shi Potian added.

After hearing this, Matthew and others couldn't help but become curious about the identities of those strange monks.

"Have you two gotten to the bottom?" Xing Yan frowned slightly, with confusion in her eyes, and asked softly.

Shi Potian and Bai Chen shook their heads helplessly. Bai Chen said, "No, we were trapped in an extremely powerful magic circle for a while and finally escaped. The power of the magic circle is extremely strong. We tried various methods but couldn't crack it. Fortunately, we found some clues in the end and barely found the weakness of the magic circle, so we escaped. We knew we couldn't continue to explore further, so we left early and planned to come back to discuss countermeasures with you."

They were full of confidence when they went out to carry out the mission this time, thinking that they could complete the mission successfully and obtain valuable intelligence.

But the result was nothing, and they were chased by a group of strange monks and were seriously injured. Their hearts were filled with frustration and anger.

Matthew pondered for a moment and said, "This matter is far more complicated than we imagined. There are no monsters, but there are a large number of magic arrays and restrictions set up by humans. There must be some unknown secrets hidden behind this. And those monks who are chasing you are also likely to be related to this secret. We can't act rashly and need to think carefully."

After Matthew finished speaking, he seemed to have thought of something. He immediately took out a piece of white paper and a brush from his storage bag and began to write and draw on the paper.
