"Luo Chen, how do you think we should deal with those legendary creatures?" Qingshuang asked seriously.

"We need to be fully prepared. We must not only understand their habits, but also prepare some magic tools and formations that can restrain them." Luo Chen replied.

Qingshuang nodded. She knew that Luo Chen always considered everything, which was why she was willing to go with him.

After an in-depth discussion, the two decided to set off early the next morning.

They decided that this time they would not only explore the Evernight Valley, but also try to solve some puzzles and look for possible ancient ruins.

The next morning, Luo Chen and Qingshuang set out on the road to the Evernight Valley again.

This time, they were more excited than last time, because they knew that this exploration might reveal more secrets of the Evernight Valley.

After several days of trekking, they came to the entrance of the Evernight Valley again.

Unlike last time, this time they had more preparations and clearer goals.

"Luo Chen, we must be careful this time. The dangers of the Evernight Valley may be more than we imagined." Qingshuang reminded.

Luo Chen nodded. He understood Qing Shuang's worries. "Don't worry. I'll be careful."

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang stepped into the mist of Evernight Valley together. This time, they were full of expectations and caution.

The scene in the valley was still dark, but it was not the first time for the two to come here, so they were much more adaptable to the darkness than before.

"Luo Chen, do you think that Evernight Valley seems to be quieter this time than last time?" Qing Shuang whispered, her voice echoing in the empty valley.

Luo Chen nodded, his eyes wandering around, trying to catch any unusual movements.

"Indeed, when we came last time, we could at least hear the calls of some creatures, but this time there was no sound."

The two continued to move forward, and the light in Luo Chen's hand seemed particularly weak in the darkness.

They had planned to continue moving towards the place they had been to before.

However, they had not walked a few steps.

Indistinctly, they heard some roars similar to those of wild beasts, but different from wild beasts.

In the darkness, pairs of blood-red eyes seemed to appear.

"What are these?"

Qingshuang gripped the hilt of the sword, looked around vigilantly, and whispered to Luo Chen: "I have never encountered these voices and eyes in the Evernight Valley. They seem to be hiding in the darkness, waiting for our arrival."

Luo Chen frowned, knowing that these unknown creatures might represent new challenges or even fatal threats.

He quickly took out a talisman from his storage bag, chanted a spell in a low voice, and turned the talisman into a ray of light that shot at the blood-red eyes in the darkness.

The light passed through the darkness, illuminating the surrounding environment, and Luo Chen and Qingshuang finally saw the true face of those creatures.

They are nocturnal creatures unique to the Evernight Valley, with huge bodies, thick skin and flesh, and agile movements.

The eyes of these creatures glowed red in the darkness, obviously attracted by the light in Luo Chen's hand.

"We must be careful."

Luo Chen whispered to Qingshuang, and at the same time took out several magic tools specially used to deal with such creatures from his storage bag.

Qingshuang nodded, knowing that Luochen's magic weapon would play a key role in dealing with these creatures.

She gripped the hilt of her sword, ready to respond to any possible attacks at any time.

Luochen quickly arranged several defensive formations to ensure that they would not be suddenly attacked by nocturnal creatures.

After the formations were arranged, the two continued to explore forward cautiously, always ready to deal with any situation that might arise.

The nocturnal creatures seemed to be afraid of Luochen's defensive formations. They wandered around the periphery of the formations, making low roars, but did not dare to break in easily. Luochen and Qingshuang took this opportunity to carefully observe the habits of these creatures and find their weaknesses.

"They seem to be very sensitive to light." Qingshuang whispered, her eyes fixed on the creatures' every move.

"That's right." Luochen responded, "We can use this to create some light sources to distract them."

Luochen took out some special ores from his storage bag, which would emit strong light after being stimulated by mana.

He arranged the ores in several key positions of the formation and then activated them with mana.

The light from the ore instantly illuminated the surroundings. The nocturnal creatures became restless due to the stimulation of the light and began to spin in place.

"Now!" Luo Chen shouted to Qing Shuang.

Qing Shuang immediately understood his intention. She swung her sword and rushed out of the formation, heading straight for the nocturnal creatures.

Luo Chen stayed where he was, controlling the formation to ensure Qing Shuang's safety.

Qing Shuang's swordsmanship was extremely sharp, and every sword hit the nocturnal creatures' vital points accurately.

Under the illumination of the light, the nocturnal creatures' movements became slow, giving Qing Shuang more opportunities.

The battle lasted for a while, and the nocturnal creatures were finally knocked down one by one by Qing Shuang.

Seeing this, Luo Chen immediately retracted the formation to avoid consuming too much mana.

"Well done, Qing Shuang!" Luo Chen said approvingly.

Qing Shuang wiped the sweat from her forehead and responded with a smile: "Thanks to your plan, we can be so smooth."

The two continued to move forward and went deep into the Evernight Valley.

As they went deeper, the surrounding environment became more and more complex, with all kinds of strange plants and terrains appearing one after another.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang had to stay alert at all times to prevent any accidents.

During a break, Qingshuang suddenly said: "Luochen, do you feel that the air here seems to be a little different?"

Luo Chen took a deep breath, felt it carefully, and then nodded: "Indeed, the air here seems to contain some kind of energy. This energy makes me feel a little uneasy."

The two looked at each other and saw a hint of worry in each other's eyes.

They know that this may mean that there are unknown dangers ahead.

Continuing forward, they came to a huge cave.

At the entrance of the cave, there is a huge stone tablet with some ancient texts engraved on it.

"What text is this?" Qingshuang asked curiously.

Luochen carefully identified it and then replied: "This is an ancient rune that records some kind of warning. It seems that there may be something hidden in this cave that we cannot predict."

The two entered the cave cautiously.

The interior of the cave was more spacious than they imagined, and the further inside they went, the stronger the uneasy feeling became.

Suddenly, a low roar came from the depths of the cave, and then, a huge black shadow rushed out of the darkness.

Luochen and Qingshuang immediately put on a defensive posture, preparing to face unknown challenges.

The black shadow gradually became clear, and it turned out to be a huge nocturnal creature. Its size was several times larger than those encountered before. Its body was covered with hard scales, and its eyes shone with a faint green light in the darkness.

"Be careful, this thing is not simple!" Luo Chen warned loudly.

Qingshuang nodded, knowing that this battle would be more difficult than ever before.

She took a deep breath, concentrated, and prepared for the coming battle.

Luo Chen began to recite spells silently in his heart, preparing to cast powerful spells to assist Qing Shuang.

The battle was about to break out. The night beast roared and rushed towards Qingshuang, its huge claws waving down with the sound of wind.

Qingshuang dodges flexibly and counterattacks with her sword.

Qingshuang's sword edge collided with the scales of the nocturnal beast, making a metallic sound.

Each of her attacks was extremely precise, but the giant beast's scales were extremely hard and seemed difficult to cause fatal damage.

Upon seeing this, Luo Chen immediately released the spell in his hand, and rays of light cut through the darkness like meteors, hitting the side of the giant beast.

"Qingshuang, let me help you!" Luo Chen shouted.

Qingshuang nodded, she knew that Luo Chen's spell could create opportunities for her.

She took advantage of the moment when the giant beast was attracted by Luo Chen's spell, rolled to avoid the giant beast's attack, and then quickly jumped up, pointing the tip of the sword directly at the giant beast's eyes.

The giant beast roared in pain, one eye was stabbed by Qingshuang's sword, and blood flowed profusely.

It shook its head angrily, trying to shake Qingshuang away, but Qingshuang tightly grasped the hilt of the sword and refused to let go.

Seeing this, Luo Chen immediately cast another spell. This time, it was a more powerful thunder and lightning, which directly hit the other eye of the giant beast.

The giant beast struggled wildly in severe pain, and the entire cave shook.

"Quick, Qingshuang, take advantage of the moment!" Luo Chen shouted.

Qingshuang knew this was her last chance, so she used all her strength to pierce the sword deeply into the beast's head.

The giant beast let out a last wail, then crashed to the ground, its huge body stirring up a cloud of dust.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang both panted heavily, knowing that victory in this battle was hard-won.

The two looked at each other and saw a hint of exhaustion and relief in each other's eyes.

They did not leave immediately, but carefully inspected the corpse of the giant beast, hoping to find some clues or treasures.

Sure enough, inside the giant beast, they found a crystal that emitted a faint light.

"What is this?" Qingshuang asked curiously.

Luo Chen took the crystal and observed it carefully, "This seems to be an energy crystal, which may be helpful to our cultivation."

The two put the crystal away and continued exploring the cave. They found an ancient stone door deep in the cave, with some runes also engraved on it.

"It seems that there may be a bigger secret hidden behind this door." Luochen said.

Qingshuang nodded, "Let's open it and take a look."

Luo Chen stepped forward and carefully studied the runes on the stone door.

He found that these runes were similar to those he had seen on the stone tablet at the entrance of the cave, and seemed to be a key to unlocking the mechanism.

After some attempts, Luochen finally found the correct combination of runes.

With a dull sound, the stone door slowly opened, revealing a mysterious room.

The room is filled with various strange devices and books, and it is obvious that this place was once the relics of an ancient civilization.

Luochen and Qingshuang walked into the room cautiously, knowing that there might be endless knowledge and power hidden here.

"We found it."

"However, this seems to be an ancient book that records ancient elixir recipes."

Luo Chen whispered.

Luo Chen carefully picked up the ancient book. The dust on the cover fell gently, revealing simple lines and some vague words.

He gently blew away the dust on the cover, and then slowly opened the pages. He saw that there were densely packed records of various complex elixir formulas and refining methods.

Qingshuang came over curiously, her eyes quickly scanned the ancient books, and then asked: "Luochen, is there anything special about these elixir formulas?"

Luochen read attentively, nodding from time to time, as if confirming something.

"These formulas are very ancient, and some have even been lost for thousands of years. If these elixirs can be restored, it will be a huge progress for us cultivators."

After hearing this, Qingshuang's eyes flashed with excitement.

"Then can't we use these pills to improve our strength?"

"Yes," Luochen replied, "but some of the materials in these formulas are very rare and may even be extinct. We need to study them carefully to see if we can find substitutes."

The two began to search the room for clues that might be related to the materials recorded in ancient books.

They found some ancient medicine jars and medicinal herbs. Although they were dried up, they still exuded a faint medicinal fragrance.

Luochen carefully collected these herbs, hoping to find some clues.

In the corner of the room, they also found a worn map with some strange symbols and routes marked on it.

Luochen studied the map carefully, trying to decipher its meaning.

"This map seems to point to a specific area in Eternal Night Valley," Luochen said. "Maybe the materials we need are hidden there."

Qingshuang nodded, knowing that Luo Chen's judgment was always accurate.

"So what should we do next?"

"Let's bring these information and materials back to the alliance first and let the sect masters and elders take a look. Maybe they can provide some help." Luo Chen replied.

The two decided not to go further into the Evernight Valley, but returned to the Alliance with the ancient books and maps they discovered.

They carefully wrapped the ancient books and herbs and left the mysterious room.

On the way back, Luochen and Qingshuang discussed the contents of the ancient books and the meaning of the map.

They knew this discovery could have far-reaching consequences for the entire alliance.

After returning to the alliance, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang immediately reported their findings to the Shui Wuhen Sect Master and the elders.

...

Bishui Sect, the main hall of the sect.

At this time, many high-level alliance officials had gathered in the hall.

Not only the senior officials of the Bishui Sect, but also the senior officials of the Rogue Cultivator Alliance and the Wushan Sect gathered at the venue.

Sect Master Shui Wuhen sat in the center of the hall. His eyes swept over Luo Chen and Qing Shuang, with a hint of approval in his eyes.

Beside him, several elders were also listening attentively to the reports of the two men.

"Luochen, Qingshuang, your discovery this time is very important." Shui Wuhen said slowly, "These ancient books and maps may be related to the future development of our alliance."

Qingshuang nodded slightly. She knew that this discovery was of great significance, but she was more concerned about how to use these resources to improve her own strength.
