Chapter 157 Mo Li, watch out for lightning!

"It's best not to touch him." Xiao Chong handed the grilled meat to Shu Ning.

“Okay,” Jin Tong said, pouting.

Shu Ning took the roasted meat from Xiao Chong and went out of the cave to eat it.

"Han She, why don't you sleep a little longer?" Shu Ning said, looking at Han She sitting at the entrance of the cave.

"I'm used to it, I can't sleep," Han She replied simply.

"Last night...did you carry me home?" she asked shyly.

"no."

Upon hearing this, Shu Ning looked at Xuan Lin, who was sleeping in the cave.

After breakfast, the group waited in the cave for another day.

On this day, Xiao Chong went out to find something to eat, Jin Tong went to pick purple-black fruit, while Xuan Lin and Han She continued to sit back in their previous positions and guard the place.

Ming Yu came to visit in the middle, but then went back.

As evening approached, he noticed that the weather, which had been sunny that day, was now overcast with dark clouds and signs of thunder. So he came again.

Jin Tong and Xiao Chong had already returned.

"What should we do? It's going to thunder," Jin Tong said to Shu Ning.

Shu Ning patted his back and looked at Ming Yu, "Domain Lord, if Mo Li's inner demon tribulation hasn't passed yet, but the heavenly lightning comes, will she have to experience the lightning tribulation at the same time?"

“This…” Ming Yu looked up at the sky and frowned, “It’s possible.”

"Huh? What should we do then?" Jin Tong asked in surprise.

“If he successfully overcomes the tribulation of inner demons before the heavenly lightning strikes, then the heavenly lightning will not be drawn upon him,” Ming Yu said.

Hearing this, Jin Tong frowned. "So, if it thunders later and he's still in the midst of his inner demon tribulation, then the heavenly lightning will strike him?"

“Not bad,” Ming Yu said solemnly.

At this moment, Jin Tong immediately picked up Shu Ning and walked back a bit.

“The fastest record is three days and three nights, and only one day and one night have passed so far. When will he be able to overcome this inner demon tribulation? And the heavenly lightning looks like it will be coming very soon,” Jin Tong said with a worried frown.

"It depends on his fate," Ming Yu said.

At this moment, Han She and Xuan Lin also entered.

"If that lightning strikes later, is there any way to help him escape?" Han She asked.

“No,” Ming Yu recalled. “In the past, most people relied on their own strength to endure it, but very few people could succeed.”

“Basically, one bolt of lightning and you’re dead on the spot,” he added.

"Ah!" Upon hearing this, Jin Tong became even more frightened. The thought of lightning flashing in the future caused him to tremble slightly.

"Don't be afraid," Shu Ning said, stroking his back.

"Mmm." Jin Tong nodded.

The others looked at Mo Li with somber expressions.

Shu Ning walked over and sat down next to Mo Li, looking up at the dark clouds. She planned to teleport them away if lightning really struck later.

As the wind blew up outside the cave, Mo Li entered the most difficult part.

Shu Ning noticed that his brows were furrowed, and even with his eyes closed, she could see his eyeballs moving.

Sweat began to bead on his forehead, and his breathing gradually became rapid.

Shu Ning sat down beside him, holding his hand, looking at him with worried eyes.

The other beastmen frowned when they saw her standing so close to Mo Li.

"Ningning, don't get so close to him," Jintong called out anxiously.

"It's alright, Jintong." Shu Ning gave him a reassuring look.

At this moment, Xiao Chong walked to Shu Ning's side.

If lightning really strikes, he'll just take Shu Ning and leave.

At this moment, Xuan Lin also walked behind Mo Li, and Shu Ning was handed over to Xiao Chong.

Mo Li was sent here for a marriage alliance, and he did not want to see any unpleasantness between the two tribes.

Seeing these people protecting Mo Li, Ming Yu's eyes showed worry.

At this moment, although Jin Tong was afraid of lightning, his worry for Shu Ning overcame his fear of lightning.

After taking a deep breath, he walked over to Shu Ning's side.

"There's lightning here, can we move Mo Li to a place where there's no lightning?" Jin Tong asked Ming Yu.

“No, he attracted this heavenly lightning. Wherever he goes, it will turn into a cloudy day,” Ming Yu said.

At this moment, Han She went directly to the top of the cave and transformed into her original form to guard the heavenly lightning.

At this moment, Mo Li became increasingly agitated, and her breathing became more and more rapid.

Shu Ning held his hand tightly and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Shu Ning didn't know what he had experienced in the illusion of inner demons, but she could feel that Mo Li was also holding her hand at the same time.

At this point, the last hurdle Mo Li had to overcome was Shu Ning.

In the illusion, he watched as Shu Ning was bitten on the neck by a black snake in the black mist, but at this moment he was entangled by the Nine Domains Soul-Devouring Vine that Shu Ning had given him.

Blood was flowing from the spot on her neck where the two venomous fangs had bitten her, and she was almost unable to move.

He struggled desperately, tears streaming down his face. As he saw that she was about to die, the color of his pupils gradually changed from blue to black.

Shu Ning noticed tears streaming from the corners of his eyes, veins bulging on his forehead, and his restless posture, and couldn't help but feel worried for him.

"Mo Li, what's wrong?" she called out worriedly. "Mo Li, Mo Li, don't be fooled by the illusion..."

“It’s no use, he can’t hear us,” Ming Yu said, standing behind them.

She watched as the wind outside grew stronger, stirring up dust and raising fallen leaves throughout the cave.

Even so, he was still sweating profusely.

At this moment, rumbling thunder began to sound in the distance.

She didn't know how to make Mo Li feel better, but her brows relaxed slightly after she called his name.

She simply knelt down and hugged him, saying, "Mo Li, you can definitely get through this. I believe in you."

At this moment, the blackness in Mo Li's eyes in the illusion slowly faded away.

It was at this moment that he suddenly remembered that if Shu Ning were really in this situation, he would definitely use teleportation to take her and him away.

Moreover, when she was attacked by the Black Serpent Clan, Shu Ning should still be the chubby Shu Ning, not the slender and beautiful woman before us.

The most important point doesn't match either: the Nine Realms Soul-Devouring Vine—she hadn't given it to him yet at that time…

Thinking of this, he forced himself to calm down, took a deep breath, and with difficulty drew the bone knife from his waist and stabbed it fiercely at the poisonous vines that were wrapped around him.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Chong's pupils dilated in surprise, and he immediately stopped what he was doing!

Although he failed to stab himself in reality, the poisonous vines that entangled him in his dream had been eliminated by his stabs.

He then transformed back into his original form and rushed toward the black snake that was biting Shu Ning, opening its mouth to bite him.

At the same time, in the illusion, his dragon body began to slowly transform into a dragon body, and a new claw grew from his four claws, turning him into a five-clawed dragon.

In an instant, the black snake vanished, and Shu Ning, who had been bitten, immediately hugged him.

Feeling the real tears on his shoulder, he slowly opened his eyes.

Upon opening his eyes, his dark blue pupils instantly turned into golden pupils, and he suddenly transformed back into his original form and flew into the air!

"Mo Li, watch out for lightning!" Jin Tong shouted in surprise.

Shu Ning, who had been holding Mo Li just moments before, was startled when he suddenly broke free.

Seeing this, Xiao Chong helped her up.

“He succeeded.” Ming Yu looked up at Mo Li, who was flying around in the air, and said meaningfully.

Shu Ning looked at Mo Li flying in the sky, not knowing how to express her feelings at this moment, she just excitedly shed tears.

Suddenly, she heard the system's voice in her mind.

"Host, please note that the main characters from the original novel are about to arrive in the Beast World!"
