Chapter 129 134. Spotting the Flaw
Just when the mermaid and General Wang were trapped in the killing array, Han Yixiao and the others also fell into trouble.
It has been almost two months since Qiao Zixi left. She is now almost eight months pregnant and nine months due, but Qiao Zixi has not returned yet. Han Yixiao is very worried.
So after Qiao Ziyi had completely recovered from his injuries, the group left the base and planned to look for the lightning-struck wood.
The legendary lightning-struck wood is an excellent material for resisting heavenly thunder. Han Yixiao plans to find the lightning-struck wood and use it to carve a piece of armor for the little one in Qiao Zixi's belly.
There is a wide variety of wood in the deep mountains, especially in those remote areas.
After going through many hardships along the way, they finally found the legendary lightning-struck wood deep in the mountains.
Looking at the lightning bolts as thick as wrists surrounding the sturdy tree, several people looked at each other in surprise.
Qiao Ziyi was dumbfounded. How could they get the wood? Their mortal bodies could not withstand the lightning strike.
The group set up camp on the spot, and Han Yixiao sat not far away, observing carefully.
The terrain here is sunken, and the next thunderbolt just connects seamlessly with the previous one. After waiting for a whole night, no flaws were found.
Jian Chengan, who had just woken up, walked out of the tent. He glanced at the lightning-struck wood, walked over to sit next to Han Yixiao, and asked, "Boss, if there is really no other way, we can just force it. The worst that can happen is that we'll get our skin and flesh torn apart."
Han Yixiao shook his head and said solemnly, "I can bear the thought of my skin being torn to pieces, but I'm afraid my soul will be scattered and there's no way to retrieve it."
Jian Cheng'an hissed and immediately became obedient.
After a while, Lin Jun, Huo Huai, Huo Yao, Chen Yang, Qiao Ziyi, and Yu Zhiming also came out. They sat in a row, staring at the lightning-struck wood with eager eyes.
Tian Yuanyuan and Lin Shishi came together and started to make breakfast. They had built a temporary stove last night. Lin Shishi lit the fire and Tian Yuanyuan cooked.
Soon the aroma of vegetables wafted through the woods.
A plate of golden fried eggs, half a small bowl of stir-fried pork with pickled mustard greens, and a big pot of noodles.
Everyone finally had a decent breakfast.
After dinner, Lin Jun and Chen Yang began to clean up the place. One used poison and the other used fire, burning the place until not a blade of grass remained.
After clearing the area, the two sat together and began to carefully observe the lightning-struck wood.
After observing for a long time, it seemed that nothing unusual was found except the endless thunder striking the trees.
Feeling bored for a moment, Lin Jun started counting: "1, 2, 3, 4, 579, 80, 81"
When he counted to this point, Lin Jun suddenly found something wrong. To verify this, he started counting again from the beginning and counted a full ten times. When the last count stopped, he suddenly jumped up and shouted happily: "I know, I know its flaw!"
Everyone looked at him, and after hearing what he shouted, they immediately stood up and looked at him excitedly.
"What flaw is it? Tell me now! It's making me so anxious!" Chen Yang, who was standing next to him, jumped in anxiety.
Lin Jun glanced at everyone with a smug look. After showing off enough, he spoke up, "I just counted. When I got to 81, there was a full five seconds between the next thunderbolt and the previous one."
As soon as the words fell, everyone was suddenly very excited. With this five-second time interval, if each of them chopped at the same time, they would definitely be able to cut off enough materials to make armor.
Han Yixiao shook his head. He had also discovered this flaw today. Although it was a surprise to everyone, they did not have enough time.
Qiao Zixi was already more than eight months pregnant. By the time they had collected enough materials and made the armor and rushed back, it was too late.
"Chirp, chirp, chirp"
"Chirp, chirp, chirp"
Just as Han Yixiao was thinking hard, a voice suddenly came from his ears. He looked in the direction of the voice, and even someone as calm as Han Yixiao was shocked on the spot.
