The bandits were blown apart, their limbs flying and their bodies severed.
After everyone recovered, they saw this scene: more than 300 bandits had been almost completely wiped out.
The village chief of Lotus Village was the first to react, shouting, "Quickly! Take care of the rest of the bandits!"
Some bandits were still mixed in with them and were not affected by the giant lightning. There were not many of them, and they were quickly dealt with.
Zhou frantically dug up Old Man Chen, who was buried under the soil.
"Old man, old man, hang in there!"
When Old Man Chen went up the small hill, he didn't let Zhou Shi come with him, but let her stay down below.
The eldest and fourth brothers, who had gone up the hillside with Old Man Chen, were also blown away by the blasted sand and soil.
The fifth and seventh brothers, along with several relatives of the Chen family, rushed over anxiously.
The fifth son cried out anxiously, "Mother! Father!"
After Old Man Chen and the others were dug out, they woke up coughing.
Mrs. Zhou hugged her father and cried, "Old man, you scared me to death!"
Old Man Chen was still in a daze. He tilted his head and said, "What did you say? I can't hear you. Speak louder!"
After Zhou recovered, she noticed that the old man's mouth was moving, but she couldn't hear what he was saying. She shouted, "Old man, what did you say? Speak louder, I can't hear you!"
Oh no, the two old folks have been blown deaf by the explosion!
The fifth brother and his friends quickly discovered the serious problem: the person appeared to be fine, but had lost their hearing!
Not only the two elderly people, but also the eldest and third eldest, and some people who were affected by the aftershocks, have all lost their hearing!
At first, when they saw their own people fall, everyone was terrified, thinking they were all dead.
While they were grieving and going to collect the body, they suddenly discovered that the person was still breathing. The doctor came up and pricked the person with a needle, which woke the person up. Just as they breathed a sigh of relief, they discovered that the person had gone deaf!
Most of those who were knocked unconscious by the explosion were revived by doctors using needles, but they all became deaf! There were also six people who were not revived by needles, but fortunately they were still breathing.
The village chief of Lotus Village was standing at the back. Although he was also frightened by the thunder and his ears rang, he did not fall down.
"Doctor, what happened to them? Why are they all deaf?"
Doctor: "The thunder was so loud that you've temporarily lost your hearing. Don't worry, you'll get better. Take a few doses of medicine and have acupuncture, and you'll be fine in a few days."
The relatives breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
Lotus Village Chief: "This place is not safe to stay any longer, let's get out of here quickly!"
On the way, everyone asked each other, "Old Chen, what was that loud thunder just now? It scared me to death, it was even scarier than thunder."
Lotus Village Chief: "Old Chen, has your ancestor bestowed upon you another new divine artifact?"
Chen Laowu said in a muffled voice, "I don't know either."
This thing was too dangerous; it knocked his parents unconscious.
They weren't even told about something so dangerous beforehand, and then they came here on their own.
Old Man Chen and Mrs. Zhou then realized that they had lost their hearing.
More importantly, their well-behaved son's toy was terrifying! More frightening than a Molotov cocktail! This wasn't a child's firecracker, it was practically a thunderbolt!
Fortunately, his good son only played with the mud and didn't set it on fire, otherwise... I don't even want to think about it. I have to hurry back and hand over the things. How can a child play with such dangerous things!
At this time, people from the cave dwelling also came over and told them to evacuate, and to take out the charcoal and pottery jars.
Once the village chiefs of Lotus Village and Anping Village met up, they recounted what had just happened. The Anping Village chief's eyes lit up. With such powerful weapons, if they had more, they wouldn't have to fear these bandits anymore; they could just use the Heavenly Thunder to blow up their lair.
When Zhou saw her beloved son, she hugged him tightly. She felt a wave of fear, thankfully her son hadn't lit the mud ball like a firecracker.
Upon hearing the words "black mud lump," a deafening roar, and the deaths of a large number of bandits who were temporarily deafened by the blast, Chen Kai was terrified. How did such a dangerous thing end up in his hands? And he even accidentally ignited it!
Chen Kai hugged his mother's neck, a wave of fear washing over him, and said, "Mom, you really scared me to death."
Zhou shouted, "My dear son, what did you say? Mother can't hear you. Don't worry, don't be afraid, we've driven the bandits away!"
The village chief of Anping Village walked up to Old Man Chen, wanting to ask him something but not knowing how, as Old Man Chen had become deaf from the explosion.
However, their tacit understanding over the years was not to be underestimated. Old Man Chen knew what the village chief wanted to ask, so he went to his wife and took out the black mud clumps from her basket.
A black mud blob suddenly appeared in front of Chen Kai, startling him. How many more were there?!
"Dad! Give me the things!"
Old Man Chen couldn't hear what his obedient son was saying. He took the lump of black mud to the village chief and handed it to him.
When the fifth brother heard his younger brother shouting for a ball of black mud, he was so frightened that he quickly coaxed him, "Little brother, this thing is dangerous, you can't play with it. Next time, your fifth brother will make you a ball of black mud to play with, okay?"
When Chen Kai saw that his father wasn't going to use it to set fire to the bandits, he stopped making a fuss about wanting it.
I'm afraid his father will fight the bandits to the death, and he might think this dangerous thing is a magical artifact and use it to seek revenge.
Xiao Tian knew that this thing would eventually have to be used, so he said, "This thing is very dangerous. After you light it on fire and throw it away, run away as far away as possible."
The fifth brother asked curiously, "Xiao Tian, how did you know?"
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they really couldn't imagine that such a black mud lump could be more terrifying than a Molotov cocktail.
Xiao Tian muttered, "This thing is a weapon similar to a Molotov cocktail, but it's even more dangerous!"
Seventh Brother: "Do we still have any of this at home?"
When Chen Kai was kneading the black clay, he went to join the army and didn't know that they had made it themselves. He thought it was a gift from the Chen family's ancestor.
Xiao Tian: "Also, it's with my brother."
Those who didn't know the inside story were shocked. How could such a dangerous thing have been left with that brat Chen Nong?
The eldest daughter-in-law looked completely bewildered. Her brother-in-law's toy? Was it a weapon even more terrifying than a Molotov cocktail?
No way! Is there some mistake? Could it be that we were enlightened by our ancestors?
She thought, "That must be it, otherwise how could the little baby's clay ball be so amazing?"
The group quickened their pace to catch up with the team ahead, and as soon as they left, a group of people ran over and occupied the spot.
A man ran out of the cave, excitedly saying, "There really is water inside, and water is dripping down!"
The leader looked at the extinguished kiln and said, "Let's light this kiln, burn some charcoal and pottery, and then we can take it to the city to exchange for some food and water."
The first group consisted of the elderly, the infirm, the disabled, women, and children, who walked very slowly. The village chief and his group quickly caught up with them.
The woman asked excitedly, "Are our people alright? How many charcoal pots did you burn?"
A man replied, "No one's hurt, just a few people fainted. We burned thirty-six loads of charcoal and forty-seven earthenware pots. Let me tell you..."
