Chapter 183
After flying in the golden mist for a while, the thunder dragon opened its mouth with a look of satisfaction and took a deep breath. The golden mist instantly turned into a tornado and flew straight into its open mouth.
After sucking up all the golden mist in one breath, the Thunder Dragon smacked its lips with a look of satisfaction. It flew to Cheng Hui with a kind face and patted his head with the tip of its tail.
Cheng Hui only felt that something invisible was flowing into his body through the top of his head. He suddenly had an epiphany. From then on, he would naturally find it easier to get through thunder tribulations than others.
Cheng Hui: ...!!! There is such a good thing???
After the Thunder Dragon blessed Cheng Hui, it slowly dissipated in the air.
Cheng Hui was finally able to rest assured. He glanced at Lin Qingyang and City Lord Hua. Qingyang, as usual, didn't ask anything, but just looked at him with a secretly concerned look.
He shook his head at him, indicating that he was fine, and Qingyang smiled again.
On the contrary, City Lord Hua thought that the other party would force him to tell what the golden sand he threw was, but he didn't expect her to act as if she didn't see anything.
Cheng Hui breathed a sigh of relief. This golden sand of merit was related to the small unity in his sea of consciousness. He really had no way to explain its source and origin. Fortunately, City Lord Hua was understanding and did not ask any further questions.
Is City Lord Hua curious?
She was so curious!
That was a thunder tribulation! That golden sand could actually withstand the thunder tribulation!!!
Such things are not only rare, but also unheard of.
How many cultivators have already reached the threshold of promotion, but because they are worried about the power of thunder tribulation, they can only suppress their cultivation, especially those demon cultivators. The way of heaven is always particularly harsh on demon cultivators. If they know what can reduce the thunder tribulation, Cheng Hui will never have a peaceful life in the future. Even those old monsters who have been in seclusion for many years will come out of the world to interrogate him.
It is impossible to say that City Lord Hua is not interested in this thing, but Cheng Hui's action just now can be regarded as saving her life. Even if she is curious, she will never ask about it and just pretend that she didn't see it.
Only after solving their own problems did they have the mind to observe the carnivorous plants in the distance.
This last thunder tribulation from heaven was quite powerful. Even though the carnivorous plant had separated a part of it, its main body still had to bear the largest weight of the thunder dragon.
The thunder dragon that hit the skeleton was almost completely copied from the thunder dragon of the carnivorous plant, as if in the eyes of the Heavenly Dao, the carnivorous plant and the skeleton were two sides of the same coin, and there was no favoritism at all.
Of course, the skeleton must have harbored deep resentment about this, but having already entered, how could it possibly escape the range of the thunder tribulation? So, it could only obediently be struck.
However, compared to the carnivorous plant, no one knows what is so special about the skeleton's body. Although it has endured the same degree of thunder tribulation, the injuries on his body are much lighter than those of the carnivorous plant.
After being struck by the last thunderbolt, the entire bud of the Venus flytrap almost fell apart. Large pieces of petals lost moisture and fell to the ground dry. Four-fifths of the flower core turned black. The big mouth in the center of the flower core had almost all its sharp teeth fallen out, and the muscles inside would only twitch occasionally.
Just looking at it from a distance, it feels like this carnivorous plant is not going to last long.
But no one, whether Cheng Hui or anyone else, planned to go over there immediately.
There are so many strange skills in the world of cultivation. Not to mention that someone just looks like he is dead, even if he is really dead, there is still a possibility of resurrection. Otherwise, how do all the ghosts in the underworld come from?
Anyway, they won't get close to the carnivorous plant until they are sure it is dead.
In fact, this was also the confidence given to them by the skeleton. The other party seemed to have only suffered minor injuries. Judging from his life-and-death relationship with the carnivorous plant, he must care about the life and death of the carnivorous plant more than they do.
Facts proved that their guess was correct. After a period of rest, the skeleton stood up again.
When he stood up, Cheng Hui and the others discovered that the skeleton was actually seriously injured. He had been relying on the remaining bones to absorb some flesh and blood. Now all the flesh and blood had disappeared in the thunder tribulation, and the original bones were covered with cracks, as if they would shatter at any time.
The skeleton supported itself and stood up, walked to the side of the carnivorous plant, looked at it for a while, and slowly raised its right hand.
Cheng Hui and the others all understood that the skeleton was about to deal the final blow to the carnivorous plant.
It's strange to say, after every thunder tribulation, there should be a downpour of rain from the sky. Even if the cultivator is seriously injured, he will have a chance to recover with the help of the downpour of rain. However, the thunder tribulation of this carnivorous plant is not only extremely powerful, but the thunder dragon can also do splits. In the end, even the downpour of rain disappeared. It shows how much the Heaven dislikes it. No one knows what evil things it has done.
The skeleton raised its right hand high and smashed it down hard. The flower bud, which was already severely damaged, was completely turned into ashes by this smash.
The skeleton looked at the remains of the flower bud with a complicated expression, and no one knew what he was thinking. After a long time, he slowly turned his head and looked at Cheng Hui and the others through the two holes in his skull.
Cheng Hui: ...
Just when Cheng Hui was worried about what this person was going to do, something strange happened!
Right next to the flower bud, the ground suddenly broke open, and an extremely thin vine broke out of the soil. The pointed tip directly pierced into the skull of the skeleton, sending in a small flower at the same time.
Cheng Hui and the other two were immediately shocked. No one had expected that this carnivorous plant would sneak around and abandon its huge body early, splitting into a very weak flower. Although its strength was greatly reduced, its life was saved. Moreover, it took advantage of the skeleton's distraction to launch a successful sneak attack.
Cheng Hui and the other two looked at each other and immediately decided to escape from the underground palace.
This is the best opportunity. The two were obviously seriously injured. Although the skeleton was ambushed, it is not so easy to deal with. In the end, no matter who wins, it will only be a miserable victory. Any rational person will only choose to hide and heal first, and then do other things.
The three of them turned around and were about to leave, but they didn't expect that the temple that they had been ignoring suddenly burst out with a strong light, and then the light flowed back and generated a huge suction force.
The entire ancient city began to shake, the ground cracked, huge rocks kept falling from the dome, the wind howled, sand and stones flew, as if countless wronged souls were roaring.
"What's going on?" Cheng Hui looked at the changes happening around him in shock.
His body kept shaking, not because he was afraid, but because the shaking of the ground and the strong wind in the sky made him unable to stand steadily.
Afterwards, the suction from the temple suddenly became stronger, and all of them, including the skeletons, were sucked into the temple.
When all creatures in the ancient city had grown small, the light above the temple dissipated and tranquility returned.
* * *
The bustling crowds, the lively streets, and the street vendors speaking a language that Cheng Hui could not understand.
Cheng Hui knew he was dreaming.
He floated like a ghost above this prosperous ancient city.
He looked quietly at the city below. It was a very ordinary city, or rather... a city that looked very ordinary.
The residents here live a simple life every day. They work hard, farm, and weave, and then send the finished products to the temple for worship.
They believe in a god named Lord of Boundlessness. Every month, the priests in the temple will give them a piece of meat. They also need to offer the meat at home for a month. After a month, they can share the meat with their family members. As long as there is meat, everyone can slowly improve their cultivation.
This is a strange city where eating meat can replace cultivation.
Cheng Hui was not sure what state he was in now. He seemed to be hanging high above the entire city, but if he wanted, he could focus his sight completely on a certain room, and even see the little dust in the cracks in the wall clearly.
It can be said that the entire city is within his "field of vision" and there is nothing that he doesn't know.
This city seemed very wrong to him, especially the piece of meat that was offered as a sacrifice. Nothing came without a price, especially cultivation. This kind of cultivation that appeared out of thin air seemed strange no matter how he looked at it.
He tried to peek into the temple, but unfortunately there seemed to be something in the temple that could block his sight. The most he could do was to focus his sight on one person. However, when it came to the secret of the meat, even the people in the temple didn't know much. Ordinary priests were just doing odd jobs, and only the five high priests knew where the meat came from.
He tried to focus his gaze on the high priest, but failed.
Cheng Hui also once thought about why he appeared here. This was obviously the ancient city without zombies in the past. He guessed that such a change might have been caused by the skeleton.
No, to be precise, it should be the skeleton and the carnivorous plant that were created together.
He had a vague premonition when he saw that the thunder tribulation from heaven would be split into two halves.
There is a high possibility that there is some unknown relationship between the skeleton and the carnivorous plant.
For example... two personalities in one body?
Ahem... It's not that Cheng Hui has a wild imagination, it's just that under that situation, it's really hard for him to make any other guesses.
Now the entire city was within his sight, and there were no secrets at all. If he wanted to break out of this situation, he would have to find the reason at the temple.
He can't just stay like this forever. It's okay in the short term, but over a long period of time, who knows what condition his body will be in. What if he takes too long to get out and his body rots? That would be a real problem.
It is not feasible to keep his eyes on the high priest, so... can he put his whole body on him?
Cheng Hui thought so and did so. Just then, a small priest came out of the temple, and he possessed the small priest first.
It was originally just an attempt, but unexpectedly it succeeded in one go. Cheng Hui only felt a flash before his eyes, and his vision became that of the little priest.
He tried to move his hands and feet, everything was normal. He then tried to get away, which was also smooth.
And after he broke away, the little priest just stood there in a daze for a moment and then continued to move forward, completely unaware that a second ago, his body was occupied by a strange existence.
very good!
Now that the plan has been proven to be feasible, we should start implementing it.
Cheng Hui encouraged himself, then stood at the door of the temple, waiting for the high priest to come out.
…
…
…
He waited for two full months before the high priest arrived. It was probably because the temple was so well-equipped. The high priest and his entire family lived there, and they had everything they needed. As a result, the high priest never went out unless there was something important.
The reason why he went out today was because a wealthy resident spent a lot of money to ask the high priest to bless their newborn baby. Otherwise, Cheng Hui didn't know how long he would have to wait before he could see the person.
