Chapter 54 Struck by Lightning
"This is not concretion from a shipwreck!"
"Oh no, this is bad."
Chen Tian looked at Captain Yang's bitter face and regretted speaking.
Hearing the continuous cheers from the side, both of them looked grim.
After spending so much time and resources, and wasting so much manpower and material resources, this is the result; the two people in charge are deeply saddened.
"Oh, Comrade Chen, this was my mistake."
These are ordinary shellfish.
Old Yang remained silent for a moment, then spoke softly.
He spoke with a blank stare, seemingly lost in thought, but the deep sorrow in his eyes was almost palpable.
Chen Tian was also in a bad mood; he was one of the few on the ship who knew the situation.
This voyage was practically a do-or-die situation, but the result after all the twists and turns was...
I don't know how much time passed; it seemed as if time had stood still as well as flowed by!
No, something must be wrong. He has to find it. We can't let everyone's hard work go to waste.
"Captain Yang, let's discuss this again."
"Um."
Outside a wooden house at an altitude of several thousand meters in the northern region.
The sky was filled with colorful clouds, the sun had already set, and the surroundings began to deepen in the darkness.
Luo Yin leaned against the side, chewing on a strip of meat and occasionally stretching her neck.
She looked around aimlessly.
Thinking of the people she had met during the day, Luo Yin felt somewhat uncomfortable, sensing something was off. But since it was the first time she had met them, she could only remain vigilant and avoid getting too close.
It was just getting dark when Old Chen specifically told her not to go out at night.
They will set off after dinner.
Luo Yin was so nervous that her hands and feet went weak, and her heart was pounding. She quickly finished preparing the food.
I followed the line to get my food, which was a noodle soup made by Brother Liu.
Just from the aroma, you can tell the craftsmanship is excellent. He said it's his signature dish, and Old Chen specially ordered it.
"Everyone's eaten and drunk their fill, tonight's all up to you!"
"Chen the Blind Man said to the old men."
The people around him ignored him, but when they looked down at Chunbai Mian, they saw a smile on his face.
"Haha, that's great!"
"I came all this way, and I never expected to end up eating at your place."
"Yes, yes, I've finally caught you."
Luo Yin was sitting scattered around, with the team leader and his group to her left and Old Man Chen and others to her right.
By the end of the afternoon, everyone had gotten to know each other and realized that these people were all brought by Old Chen.
It is said to be a very powerful surname in the underworld.
"Boom! Boom!"
Halfway through the meal, thunder and lightning struck.
Everyone paused, and the faces of the group of old men all changed.
Blind Chen and the others looked up at the sky and found that it was just thunder.
"Everyone, speed up!"
The captain gave the order, and they quickly set an example and got to work.
Within minutes, everyone started moving, and Luo Yin followed suit, packing her things and quickly moving into the wooden house.
The cabin wasn't big, and it felt even smaller when a dozen or so people came in.
Everyone instinctively turned their gaze to Old Man Chen, only to see him slowly finish the last bite and wipe his mouth with his sleeve.
"It's about time. It's our turn to make a move, old man."
As he finished speaking, the remaining four people also picked up their belongings and walked out step by step.
Looking at the backs of the five men, who were not young, some thin and others hunched over, made the captain and others, who were in their prime, feel very uncomfortable.
But despite their repeated requests, Blind Chen refused.
Saying they should go will not only fail to help them, but will also hinder their efforts.
On the contrary, it will bring bloodshed!
This is a huge no-no!
Luo Yin was equally sullen. Regardless of her initial thoughts upon arriving, she felt admiration at this moment.
She stood there, watching them leave, and her heart sank as she thought about what would happen next... Please, stay safe!
I'm praying you're all okay, hang in there!
"Hey, girl, come here."
Luo Yin was taken aback. Who called her? Suddenly, all eyes turned to her.
Blind Chen stood at the intersection of light and shadow by the entrance.
He waved his hand at her, "Come on!"
Luo Yin's lips twitched, and she took a few steps forward to ask what was wrong.
"Girl, I need your help with something," Blind Chen said, rubbing his hands together in a somewhat ingratiating manner.
Luo Yin wanted to back away, but before she could run, she heard him say again.
"Don't worry, there's no danger. It's just my eyes..." He paused, "You can run errands for me. If there's any danger, get out of there immediately."
She lowered her voice, "Aren't they good enough? Won't they hold us back?"
"No, you've forgotten that your luck is different. They don't believe that those people crawled out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and that they have a lot of killing intent and evil energy."
She nodded; that made sense. "Really, you promised me, Annie, don't forget!"
"No, no, come and bring all of these with you. I'll tell you what to do later."
Despite being half-convinced, Luo Yin still came out, only to regret it as soon as she did.
A strong wind started blowing outside, and it was raining.
A fierce wind swept across the lake, the waves crashed against the surface, and the pattering rain stung my skin.
"Quickly, follow me."
Old Chen ran off in a hurry, with Luo Yin chasing after him.
It was pitch black all around, with only a few scattered candlelights, which she couldn't see clearly. All she could see was the back of the figure in front of her.
Splash splash splash~
whoosh whoosh~
"Here, here, look right in front of you, is there a tortoise shell?"
Luo Yin took out a candle and lit it with great difficulty. Luckily, she had something to shield her from the rain and wind. "Yes, I do."
"Okay, now I'll tell you..."
As Chen the Blind Man mumbled something, Luo Yin copied it all, bringing out almost everything he had brought and arranging it around him.
Fortunately, the current situation is unusual, and Loin is paying most of her attention to the awful weather.
Otherwise, one might start overthinking.
"Bang—"
"Boom—"
The thunder and rain grew louder and louder. Luo Yin was afraid of being struck by lightning, so she wanted to go back after finishing what she was doing.
She was soaked in sweat from being so busy.
"Alright, I'm going back now!"
The noise was so loud and chaotic that people could only shout to speak. At this moment, Old Man Chen sat cross-legged, silently chanting and performing a spell.
Luo Yin immediately noticed his profile under the light.
Something's inexplicably mysterious about it!
His gaze spread out and he discovered that the other four people, like him, also left four points of fluorescence in other directions.
Luo Yin didn't linger and rushed towards the wooden house.
Chen the Blind Man paused, clearly wanting to give her some instructions, but quickly resumed his movements, not daring to stop for the slightest.
At the same time, a huge creature emerged from the depths of the lake.
A colossal figure leaped from the lake, accompanied by a sound like an ancient dragon's roar echoing through the thunder.
run! ! !
Luo Yin dared not look back and accelerated her pace.
Unexpectedly, his foot slipped, and he stepped on something, causing his body to tilt and fall to his right.
Luo Yin reacted quickly, realizing that if she fell down, she would definitely get a head injury and bleed profusely.
Instead, lean back and control your body so that your buttocks land first.
Unfortunately, due to her bad luck, the continuous slips and inertia caused her to slide past Blind Chen and directly hit the edge of Tianchi Lake.
There used to be guardrails, but Chen Xiazi's place was the most dangerous spot, so there were no guardrails to stop it.
Luo Yin felt no pain in her back, and hadn't bumped into anything, but her heart sank almost completely.
By the time she felt herself floating, her heart was already dead!
"Aaaaaaah, help me~"
In the last second before falling into the Heavenly Pool, Luo Yin let out a soul-stirring scream.
The five townspeople shrank back instinctively upon hearing this; the soldiers inside were even more anxious.
"Oh no, oh no, something's happened to that girl!"
"Captain, can't we really go out? I hear her screaming for help."
"Yes, why don't we send someone out to take a look?"
Everyone was anxious, and they were very familiar with her voice; but they also knew what the old man had said, and they were well aware of the importance of this mission.
The captain was so anxious that he clenched his fists, and the veins on his neck bulged out.
"Vice Captain, the rest of the men are in your hands. Without my orders, everyone is to remain on standby and not to leave."
Old Zhang still couldn't get past that hurdle. He was the most skilled, so he could at least defend himself if anything happened.
"Captain, let me go. I enlisted later than you, I'll definitely be fine. You have..."
Old Zhang waved his hand, "I'm the captain, I'm following orders."
He glanced at the vice-captain one last time before dashing into the night like a cheetah.
Luo Yin was in a very sorry state when she entered the water. She didn't know how much water she swallowed before she gradually regained consciousness. She remembered that she could swim, and after her hands and feet obeyed her commands, she kept swimming towards the light.
But she soon realized that something was wrong with the water.
It seemed that something had made a big commotion, which had affected her.
Her life was filled with ups and downs, and the lake water was icy and cold.
Thunder, rain, and the sounds of large creatures swimming passed right by her.
Luo Yin felt as if she had been electrocuted; her whole body was numb, her limbs were weak, and her heart was pounding.
She shouted at the top of her lungs, but no one responded.
Afraid of disturbing anything in the water, she mustered her breath and tried to swim back; from where she had fallen in, the nearest light should be the way to get there.
Then she swam and swam, always swimming towards the light.
But why can't I ever reach the end?
Loin felt the ripples on the lake getting closer and closer to her.
Then came the familiar roar of a dragon.
This time she couldn't control herself and turned around to see a jet-black dragon swimming around in the air.
Judging from their posture, they seem just as impatient as the red dragon from that day.
Luo Yin was filled with regret; she was so unlucky!
She was both afraid and hateful, wishing she could beat her former self to death.
"Boom boom boom~"
Amidst the flashes of lightning and the roar of thunder, the dragon's cry grew ever louder, seemingly fueled by further enrage.
As soon as Captain Zhang ran out, he saw the black dragon in the sky and froze on the spot.
The legendary thing actually exists.
The black dragon kept crashing, trying to escape this place, but the old men below were obviously prepared, and the two sides were fiercely competing.
Just then, a murderous aura drifted over from the west.
Having absorbed enough fortune, the black dragon instantly swam to the sky above Luo Yin and charged directly at Captain Zhang.
"not good!"
Blind Chen's expression changed, realizing that trouble was brewing.
He opened his palm, used his blood as a guide, and quickly drew something on the talisman paper before throwing it westward.
The old man on the west side also reacted quickly, changing his approach to defend against the attack.
At that moment, the black dragon suddenly turned and charged towards Luo Yin.
Luo Yin realized that it wasn't her fault; normally she should have been able to swim to shore, but the current situation must be due to their magic array.
Does this mean I have to end up like that black dragon?
Are they suppressed here?
That won't do!
As she thought this, she saw the black dragon rushing towards her. She screamed and swam forward, but it was obviously too late.
"Now! Activate the magic array!"
Startled, Luo Yin dove into the water, faintly hearing several voices around her.
At the same time, five beams of golden light of varying intensity emanated from the group's location and immediately enveloped the black dragon. As the black dragon struggled and rolled, trying to break free, a talisman was once again flung out from Chen the Blind Man's hand, and then, as if summoning lightning, it thunderously struck the black dragon.
One blow after another, for a full ten minutes.
Luo Yin, unable to bear it any longer, surfaced from the water.
"Crackling and popping~"
Luo Yin, drawing strength from who-knows-where, shouted at Captain Zhang as soon as she saw him appear.
Old Zhang reacted immediately, throwing her the rope and pulling her up.
Luo Yin, looking disheveled, smiled at him with a sense of relief.
"Thank you so much!"
"Thump~~~"
A bolt of lightning struck her, and Luo Yin instantly collapsed to the ground, unable to get up.
