It was raining heavily. Outside the Thunder Valley, Yu Xingwu and his companions had recalled their mounts.
Everyone stood at the entrance of the valley, not yet stepping in. Although blocked by the rain, looking from the entrance into the valley, they could still see streaks of lightning falling from the sky.
"boom--!"
There was another loud noise, and the shining lightning fell from the sky again, striking a huge rock at the entrance of the valley.
With a "bang", the stones were shattered by the purple thunder, and sand and gravel splashed everywhere.
Even the land struck by lightning was emitting tiny flashes of lightning, which could not be extinguished even by heavy rain.
"Damn it! It really is worthy of being called Thunder Valley. The power of the lightning is so great. It feels more powerful than the last time I survived the thunder tribulation!"
Jiuqing's eyelids twitched as he looked at the thunderbolts that were becoming more and more powerful. He suddenly felt that his decision before coming here was rash. This Thunder Valley was really not a place for people to come.
He has water spirit roots, so why did he follow impulsively at that time?
Yun Xiao searched in the mustard seed space and finally took out two defensive magic weapons.
He said with some distress: "I only have these two defensive magic weapons, which can resist two thunderbolts at most."
"Second Senior Brother Shen, this time we have to rely on your pagoda to save our lives. You can't just focus on Junior Sister, you have to pay attention to us too."
Qingyu Qingxuan nodded in agreement, indicating that they also needed attention!
Ye Su also had an extra magic weapon in his hand, which he said was an umbrella made of metal. It could not only block the heavy rain, but also withstand lightning. However, he didn't know how many thunders it could withstand.
Even though there was a barrier above Yu Xingwu's head that was held up by Shen Zhuo's spiritual power, Ye Su still held the umbrella in his hand above Yu Xingwu's head.
Even though Shen Zhuo has the thunder spirit root, as the eldest senior brother, he also has the responsibility to protect the younger sister.
Ignoring the cold look from Shen Zhuo, he looked at everyone and said in a gentle voice: "It's raining too hard right now, and there's also the saying that rain helps thunder, so it's really not suitable to walk in the valley."
"My suggestion is that after entering the valley, we should first find a cave to take shelter. If we can't find a cave, Second Junior Brother will summon the pagoda. At least wait until the rain subsides before taking action."
"Of course, Second Junior Brother has the spirit of thunder. Even if the rain or thunder is heavy, it will not affect his actions. We can let Second Junior Brother explore the situation in the valley first."
Jiu Qing nodded in agreement as soon as he heard it: "I think Senior Brother Ye's suggestion is very feasible! Let's go into the valley first and wait until the rain subsides before taking action!"
Yu Xingwu also felt that there was nothing wrong with Ye Su's words. Rain would help the thunder, and the power of the thunder would only become greater. Even if Shen Zhuo had a thunder spirit root, he could not protect everyone.
It is wisest to wait until the rain subsides before taking action.
Besides, they set out at night and came via the teleportation array, which saved a lot of time. Now there are still three days, so there is still ample time, and there is no rush to find the Shouxin grass.
At the same time, she also noticed that Ye Su held the umbrella in his hand above her head, and hurriedly said: "Big Brother, you don't need to hold the umbrella for me, I can take care of myself and not be struck by lightning!"
"Big Brother and I have the same fire spirit root, so we must be extra careful after entering the valley."
Ye Su smiled gently, but did not move the umbrella in his hand. He just said: "Let's go into the valley."
Yu Xingwu didn't say anything else, but she could feel the aura of Shura Field.
The group arrived at the entrance of the valley and were about to enter when there was a loud "boom" and another bolt of lightning streaked across the night sky and struck right in front of them.
They already knew the power of the thunder, but what was horrifying was that under the lightning, everyone actually saw a black figure!
It appeared silently, as if out of thin air, giving me a sense of having seen a ghost.
Yu Xingwu was really frightened, and she subconsciously used a little more force when holding Shen Zhuo's hand.
"Boom!" Another bolt of lightning fell. This time, Yu Xingwu saw clearly that it was a person who suddenly appeared, not a ghost.
To be precise, it was an old man with gray hair, dressed in black, who suddenly appeared, which was quite creepy.
Jiang Yan and his companions were really frightened just now and almost pulled out the big swords behind their backs.
Jiu Qing: "Isn't it said that Thunder Valley is a forbidden area and no one comes here on weekdays? If this isn't a human, then what is it?"
"It's an old man, an old man with white hair and white beard. Looking at this old man, he seems to be a hidden master. Could it be that he is old and he also came for the longevity grass?"
Jiang Yan is a man of straightforwardness and there is nothing he dares not say.
However, the old man who suddenly appeared was not wearing any sect’s uniform, and there was no sect’s logo on his clothes. For a moment, no one could determine the old man’s identity.
What Yu Xingwu could be sure of was that the old man's strength must be above hers, because cultivators could only detect the realm of those whose cultivation was lower than their own, but could not detect the realm of those who were stronger than themselves.
Fortunately, there was the golden finger of the dog system, which said to her with great insight: "Host, this old man is actually at the peak of the tribulation period!"
[Peak stage of transcending tribulation? Out-of-body experience, spirit separation, fusion, transcending tribulation, Mahayana, wow, I guessed that the old man's strength is not low, but I didn't expect that he is only one step away from reaching the great perfection stage. ]
[Could this be some sect elder who was guarding the back mountain and ran out? Why isn't he wearing any sect clothes? Or is he some powerful independent cultivator? ! ]
System: "I don't know about this, but this person is very powerful and suddenly appeared in Thunder Valley. Who knows what he wants to do? The host should be careful!"
Yu Xingwu's eyes moved slightly: [I seem to know why he came to Thunder Valley. He must be stuck at the peak of the tribulation period and unable to break through, and unable to increase his lifespan.]
[But now, I am afraid that my life span is approaching the end, so I can only risk danger to come to Thunder Valley to look for Longevity Heart Grass. ]
[If he can find the longevity grass, his life span can be extended by a hundred years. Then he will have a hundred years to try to break through the Mahayana stage and add ten thousand years to his life span! Or maybe he can find more than one longevity grass! ]
[Although there is a risk of death, it is better than dying directly after running out of lifespan. If it were me, I would also risk my life to come and look for the longevity grass.]
Ye Su: Junior sister is really smart. When Jiang Yan mentioned Shouxincao just now, the old man's eyes did light up.
Just as Junior Sister said, his life span is about to run out and he is unable to break through to increase his life span, so he can only come to Thunder Valley and risk his life to search for Longevity Heart Grass.
Shen Zhuo's cultivation level was at the Spirit Severing stage, so he was indeed unable to detect the old man's strength. Upon hearing his inner voice and knowing that the old man was at the peak of the Tribulation Crossing stage, a hint of vigilance appeared in his eyes.
The white-haired old man who suddenly appeared laughed out loud, and glanced at Yu Xingwu and his group, and said slowly: "You young people, the strongest one is only in the Spirit Severing Stage, and you dare to enter the Thunder Valley to look for the Longevity Heart Grass."
"Even I don't dare to enter the valley easily, but you are all so bold that you are not afraid of being struck into pieces by the thunder. The direct disciples of Tianlan Sect are so reckless."
