The Medallion novel Chapter 1945

The Lingji Clan had already traveled deep into the valley. However, on the fourth day, an unexpected obstacle kept them from advancing. A group of well-trained demonic spiritual beasts had encircled them silently, moving like a well-trained army.

They fought the ferocious beasts for an entire day, and the Lingji Clan had suffered significant losses. The dead and the injured kept piling up.

In the Lingji Clan's camp

Ruth and the Spiritual Emperors had gathered in her tent to discuss what they could do about the matter.

"Elder Ruth, I'm afraid we can't go on like this. Four of our Spiritual Kings have either died or got seriously injured today. We should withdraw for now!" urged one of the Lingji Clan's Spiritual Emperors, who looked tremendously worried.

The other Spiritual Emperors nodded in agreement. After all, they were well aware of the danger of the Ethereal Valley, and they believed that if the team's overall strength weakened due to this altercation, they would be in greater danger.

Ruth thought about it for a while, her eyes narrowing as she deliberated. Indeed, they had been marching for so long. If they returned now, all their previous sacrifices and efforts would be in vain.

Moreover, the Lingji Clan hadn't gained much in this trip to the Ethereal Valley. The team she had led was annihilated in the crystal palace, leaving only her and several Spiritual Emperors. At this rate, their expedition in the Ethereal Valley would be worthless, especially if they didn't gain more treasures.

"I need to think about this some more. You can leave now," Ruth informed the rest with a wave of her hand. She needed to think this through.

Assenting to her request, the Spiritual Emperors left Ruth's tent.

Rocky and Vivian were in the Lingji Clan's camp at this time, and they saw the Spiritual Emperors staggering out of Ruth's tent. They couldn't help but exchange knowing glances.

"It seems that the death of the spirit warriors in the crystal palace has greatly affected the Lingji Clan. Otherwise, with their overall strength, they could have at least reached the foot of the snow mountain," Rocky noted.

"Then it's time for us to act. My wounds have mostly healed, so I don't think I'll hold you back," Vivian declared passionately. She had stayed with the Lingji Clan for the past few days, resting and healing. Rocky had also helped her heal her wounds every day, and because of that, she recovered much faster than she had expected.

"The Lingji Clan has been a great help to us these days. Even if we have to leave now, we should at least do something to repay their kindness!" Rocky said with a smile.

"What do you think we should do?" Vivian asked. She knew that Rocky must have something on his mind.

"It's getting dark, and I'm sure you have a lot of pent-up energy from the past few days. How about we find a place to exercise our muscles and bones once it's dark? After I absorbed the devil spirit's power, the fighting energy at the Mystery Stage advanced to the Earth Stage as well. Maybe we can go somewhere and test it out," Rocky suggested with a wicked glint in his eyes.

"That sounds great!" An enthusiastic smile flashed across Vivian's face. Of course, she knew what he meant.

It didn't take long for the sun to go down, and the entire valley soon fell into darkness.

Scattered bonfires rose inside the Lingji Clan's camp, and all the clan's spirit warriors retired to their tents and rested after the long and tiring day.

At this point, two black shadows stealthily left the camp, heading in one direction.

The next morning, Ruth gathered all the Spiritual Emperors of the Lingji Clan again.

"I thought about it last night. As you know, our team has suffered a lot of serious casualties. If we force ourselves to pass through the valley again, I'm afraid it might compromise our vital energy, and we might end up losing more than we have gained. Thus, I have decided we should go back the way we came. We can pass the time exploring more unknown areas for now, and who knows? Maybe we can get something before we leave!"

Ruth explained to the others.

The other Spiritual Emperors nodded readily, satisfied with her decision.
