Chapter 16: Thunder and Vitality
"You mean Lei Gongchi." Yang Qing'er suddenly realized.
"Lei Gongchi?" Lu Qingshan, who successfully bought Yang Qing'er with a piece of 'moon cake', couldn't help frowning.
Listening to the name, it doesn't feel simple.
According to the map he had purchased in East Sparrow City, it took him three days to reach this Thunder Forbidden Zone.
And in the canyon where this thunder forbidden area is located, there is also a small tribe called 'sheep'.
Having lived in close proximity to the Thunder Forbidden Zone for so many years, Lu Qingshan believed that the people in this tribe must know this Thunder Forbidden Zone very well.
And he, although he came prepared, it is better to find out the general situation of the Thunder Forbidden Zone, and then it is safer to enter it.
"Hmm." Yang Qing'er nodded, and under the encouragement of the 'moon cake', she poured the situation of Lei Gongchi to Lu Qingshan like pouring beans from a bamboo tube.
In fact, even if there is no 'moon cake', it is no problem, because in her heart, she is willing to talk to the good-looking man in front of her.
Lei Gongchi is the name of the 'sheep' tribe for that forbidden area.
The reason is that it is said that in that forbidden area, there are thunder arcs flowing out from the core, causing thunder to swim all over the place, and it looks like a thunder pool.
Then, in that forbidden area, there were often thunders from the sky, and thunder arcs were furious, which was extremely unstable.
Therefore, in the eyes of the people of the sheep tribe, in that forbidden area, there must be a Lei Gong sleeping.
This is where Lei Gongchi got its name.
According to Yang Qing'er, there will be big thunderstorms in Lei Gongchi intermittently.
When the thunder broke out, all of them could hear the deafening thunder, which lasted for an indefinite period of time, but only half an hour at the longest, and less than half a quarter at the shortest.
But a long, long time ago, this thunder would only break out once a month or two.
But by the time she was born, the frequency of thunder eruptions had been reduced to days.
In the past year, the frequency of such thunderstorms has been frequent to two or three times a day.
"Many old people in the clan said that it may be that Lei Gong is about to wake up." Yang Qing'er looked up at Lu Qingshan, her eyes sparkling.
Lu Qingshan stretched out his hand, rubbed the little girl's hair that was yellow like a weed due to malnutrition, and said with a smile: "Then why aren't you afraid?" ”
He noticed that there was not the slightest worry in Yang Qing'er's gaze.
Touched by Lu Qingshan? Yang Qing'er is instinctively a little shy? The voice was much quieter, but he said very firmly: "Because Lei Gong is a good person?" If it weren't for the existence of Lei Gongchi? Our tribe was eaten by the sand wolf demon when we were old......."
Speaking of which? Yang Qing'er was a little disappointed, as if she remembered something bad.
"The Sand Wolf Demon?" Lu Qingshan asked again.
Yang Qing'er, who has hardly been in contact with outsiders? He was not too wary of Lu Qingshan.
And the smiling Lu Qingshan? In the little girl's heart, it can't be a bad person.
So seeing Lu Qingshan asking, Yang Qing'er chattered again.
The Sand Wolf Demon, one of the most numerous sand demons in the Mogao Desert? Together with sandstorms and sand bandits, it is known as the three disasters of Mogao.
In the middle of this vast desert? Sand wolf demons come out in packs and wreak havoc, hunting for food.
More than 100 of them would be enough to slaughter a small tribe.
In the vicinity of the sheep tribe, there is a large group of sand wolf demons with a number of thousands or nearly thousands, occupying an oasis.
By common sense? A small tribe like the sheep tribe, which is no more than a thousand in number, lives on the side of the couch of the sand wolf demon group? It should have been gnawed by this group of sand wolf demons a long time ago, and there were no bones left.
But it seems that because of the fear of Lei Gong, those sand wolf demons have never dared to set foot in this canyon? There are very few people who even come close.
And the people of the sheep tribe naturally did not dare to leave this canyon easily.
The two were at a stalemate.
In Yang Qing'er's heart? Lei Gong is the patron saint of their tribe.
In this case? What is there to be afraid of Lei Gong's recovery?
"I see?" Lu Qingshan looked at the deep and bottomless canyon again, a faint light flickered in his eyes, and he rubbed Yang Qing'er's head again, and said with a smile: "Thank you for telling me so much." ”
"It's okay," Yang Qing'er's yellowed face was a little red, and when she looked up at the sky, the little girl suddenly panicked, "I have to go back quickly, otherwise the sheep will starve." ”
"Let's go back." Lu Qingshan said with a smile.
Yang Qing'er ran away with small steps, just ran a few steps, suddenly stopped, turned her head to look at Lu Qingshan, and asked, "Do you want to go to our tribe to have a look......
Facing Lu Qingshan's gaze, Yang Qing'er was a little at a loss, "I mean, Grandpa the Patriarch may know more about Lei Gongchi, and he is also a cultivator...... Those who cultivate the truth have lived for a long, long time. ”
The smart little girl, when she saw Lu Qingshan for the first time, she understood the identity of Monk Lu Qingshan.
Lu Qingshan waved his hand, "No need, what you said is very good, you told me everything I want to know." ”
Seeing that Lu Qingshan rejected herself, the little girl didn't say anything more, waved her hand, carried a bamboo basket that was a head taller than her, and hurriedly left.
.......
After asking about the situation of the Thunder Forbidden Zone, Lu Qingshan pondered for a moment, the sword turned into a streamer, his body was not too tall, and he walked slowly towards the Thunder Forbidden Zone along the crack in the canyon.
Walked slowly for half an hour.
There was a tremor under his feet, and there was a thunderstorm between heaven and earth.
Thundered!
Lu Qingshan looked up, and the so-called Lei Gongchi had already appeared in front of him.
As far as the eye can see, on the ground covered with gravel, thunder flashes, and bursts of thunder swim away, sizzling.
As far as the eye can see, everything is filled with this intense thunder, it is really like entering a thunder pool!
And above the sky, there is a thunderbolt falling.
The arm-thick arc of thunder flickered irregularly, appeared, as if infinite, and kept falling, and in a rumbling sound, it descended on the earth.
The ground absorbed the thunder light and turned into silver snakes swimming around, making the momentum of the thunder even more intense.
This is a thunder hell world.
At this time, when the thunder that Yang Qing'er said broke out, the intensity of the thunder light was really rare.
Lu Qingshan's eyes flashed, and he silently waited for the thunder tide to recede.
A quarter of an hour later.
The sudden flickering thunder disappeared, and the rumbling thunder gradually calmed down, leaving only the thunder snake swimming and crawling.
According to Yang Qing'er, the frequency of thunder outbreaks in Lei Gongchi has been shortened to two or three times a day.
That is, there is still some time before the next thunderwave erupts.
"Let's go see the situation first." Lu Qingshan's eyes froze, and with a flip of his left hand, a palm-sized miniature wooden shield appeared in his hand.
On the wooden shield, the pattern is complicated.
Lu Qingshan injected spiritual power into it.
The patterns on the wooden shield flickered suddenly, and then along those lines, it suddenly cracked, disintegrating into countless scale-like fragments, floating in the air, and quickly assembled into a armor around him, protecting him in it.
The Lightning Shield, one of the lightning protection artifacts he purchased in Giant Bear City.
The material used in this artifact is lightning protection wood, which has an excellent isolation effect on thunder.
Under the protection of the lightning shield suit, Lu Qingshan stepped into it.
Zizizizi!
The thunder on the ground, emitting blue light, several of them were already taking advantage of the trend and surging towards Lu Qingshan.
His magic weapon immediately came into play.
Most of those lightning arcs were isolated by the lightning shield cloak, attached to the armor, and made a crackling sound.
This kind of powerful thunder, Lu Qingshan can still easily block it with the help of magic weapons, and even the loss of spiritual power is almost none.
It's just that after taking a few more steps, Lu Qingshan's eyes suddenly showed a look of surprise,
"These thunderbolts seem a little strange......"
Lu Qingshan carefully examined the thunder that was swimming outside the armor.
After a long time, he suddenly realized.
"These thunders turned out to be both acquired thunder and innate thunder......"
Thunder is divided into acquired and innate.
Acquired thunder is caused by external objects such as spells or supernatural powers, and innate thunder is conceived by nature.
According to his prediction, the place where the thunder fruit is bred should be the dangerous realm of heaven and earth, and its thunder is naturally the condensation of heaven and earth.
But the existence of this acquired thunder shows that this thunder forbidden area does not seem to be completely consistent with what he thinks.
"Is this not the place where the Thunder Fruit is born, or is there something else in this Thunder Forbidden Zone...... Is the 'Lei Gong' in the mouth of the sheep tribe real? Lu Qingshan's heart gradually lifted, and his actions became more cautious.
The further you walked in, the more intense the thunder light became.
Not long after, Lu Qingshan's armor was already attached with dense thunder, like a thunder cocoon, which was very terrifying to look at.
As he deepened, Lu Qingshan was already extremely uneasy and took out another cyan spirit bead magic weapon from the storage ring.
The spiritual power worked slightly, and a layer of cyan spiritual light enveloped his body.
Aoki beads, medium-grade ground tools, are refined by Yuanying monks with Aoki spirit jade as raw materials, engraved with Aoki spirit patterns, once prompted, it will emit Aoki spiritual light, protecting the owner of the magic weapon.
The Aoki aura of the wood attribute has a more direct and significant effect on the defensive effect of thunder than other attributes.
Lu Qingshan looked at the land full of thunder and lightning snakes, and his heart moved slightly.
Thunder is a symbol of destruction.
However, he felt that a strong vitality was emanating from the thunder-covered earth, and its majesty was astonishing.
"There is such a strong vitality in the thunder," Lu Qingshan......'s eyes showed a strange glow.
Thundered!
A thunderous explosion was deafening.
Four or five steps in front of him, a thunderbolt fell, and the thunder was dazzling.
This big earth mine pool, under this thunder, is like a lake disturbed by a stone, rippling in all directions, blasting towards the landing green mountain.
Bursts of crackling sound came and went, bringing countless sparks to the ground, and the thunder of heaven and earth contained in it made Lu Qingshan's expression change.
Thunder erupts!
It was the first time he had encountered a thunderstorm.
At the first time, Lu Qingshan urged Aoki Zhu with all his might.
The blue light rippled, sparkling, like a curtain of water to protect him.
The rich thunder light suddenly rose at this moment, and the thunderbolt smashed on the outermost lightning armor he used to protect himself.
On top of the armor, there were already countless faint thunder snakes attached to them.
This thunderbolt seemed to have detonated a bomb, a huge net-like thunderball, suddenly condensed, and then when the momentum reached its peak, it exploded with a bang.
Rumble!
It's just a lightning armor of spirit weapon quality, which is difficult to resist such a huge thunder might, and it is blown into powder in an instant.
The aftermath of the explosion of the thunderball continued unabated, and it continued to bombard the aura of Aoki that was spurred by the Aoki Bead.
Fortunately, it is a penny for the price, and this medium-grade earthware quality Aoki bead can still withstand the power of the thunder explosion at this time.
But Lu Qingshan had already sensed that with the current thunder momentum, even Aoki Zhu would not be able to last long.
However, at this time, it was not these things that he cared about most.
Because, he discovered, this so-called irregular thunderstorm...... In fact, there are signs.
Just when the thunder was tyrannical, the vitality in the earth was also much stronger!
"The power of this thunder is actually related to vitality, the stronger the vitality, the more tyrannical the thunder...... Lu Qingshan muttered: "However, the strength of these vitality is constantly fluctuating, how is it affected?" ”
This thunderous forbidden area has become more and more mysterious.
Lu Qingshan originally thought that it was just a place to breed thunder fruits, but now it seems that it is far from that simple.
Sure enough, if you don't participate in person, the information you get through what you hear will always be just the tip of the iceberg.
Lu Qingshan said secretly in his heart.
In the background introduction of the mission in the previous life, there was no mention of it except that the life of the thunder fruit caused the big demon to fight to the death, which led to a blood disaster.
In this case, this quest should also contain a hidden plot line.
Lu Qingshan didn't choose to retreat, and when he saw a large area of thunder and light in front of him, his power seeped through, and his heart moved, and he took out a set of twelve array flag magic weapons from the storage ring.
With a slight flick of one finger, twelve small array flags flew out and swirled around him.
The thunderbolt that kept smashing suddenly seemed to hit the iron wall of copper, and smashed on the formation formed by the formation flag, and immediately disappeared and disappeared.
Wuxu Absolute Spirit Array, an excellent defensive array.
With the power of the array flag magic weapon and the Aoki bead, Lu Qingshan withstood the momentum of thunder and continued to move forward.
Three quarters of an hour later.
Lu Qingshan's heart moved slightly.
For he felt that the intense vitality that had risen suddenly in the earth had suddenly disappeared and returned to its previous state.
That is to say, this tyrannical thunder is finally about to return to calm.
Sure enough, at the moment when the vitality disappeared, the large area of thunder also dimmed, and the power decreased sharply.
Lu Qingshan breathed a sigh of relief.
This time the thunder wave broke out, which only lasted three quarters of an hour, and the luck was not bad.
The bottom line he left for himself was that once the spiritual power consumption in his body exceeded forty percent, he would return immediately.
If the thunder continues to be so fierce, it won't be long before he chooses to give up.
Lu Qingshan took out an elixir that restored aura from the storage ring and swallowed it, kept himself in good condition, did not pause, and walked down the crack in the canyon.
How deep is this thunder forbidden area, and where does the thunder of the day after tomorrow come from, he doesn't know, and now he can only take one step at a time.
In the end, if it is really impossible to do it, he has one last helpless choice:
Give up this Raw Thunder Fruit, turn around and send the news of this Raw Thunder Fruit back to the Sword Sect, and let the great sword cultivators in the sect pick it up.
The value of the Raw Thunder Fruit, even if it is just a Raw Thunder Fruit that has not yet fully matured, is enough for the Great Sword Cultivator of the Sword Sect to make a move!
It's just that at that time, this life of Lei Guo is none of his business, at most, he will be rewarded with some spirit stones as comfort.
……
After walking in the Lei Gong Pond for another half an hour, Lu Qingshan's eyes suddenly flashed, and he looked ahead cautiously and carefully.
In the ground ahead, he spotted a subtle and unusual fluctuation of life—hidden beneath the dirt, looming among the ravaging thunder snakes.
If it weren't for the fact that he had a keen sense of vitality after comprehending the true meaning of immortality, he really wouldn't have been able to discover it.
