Chapter 57 The Earthquake



"Okay~ Don't worry! I cherish my life the most, otherwise I wouldn't be alive now, right? We will be fine, don't worry!"

"Um!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yanqing could only suppress his inner uneasiness.

Before leaving, Qi Yanxuan told everyone about the earthquake and asked them to tell him immediately if they found anything unusual.

Everyone became very cautious after hearing this and said they would definitely pay attention.

Two days later, in the middle of the night, the night watchman suddenly heard the cries of livestock one after another. After checking one by one, he found that all the livestock were in panic, kicking and digging the ground, making a lot of noise and yelling.

One person went to inform Qi Yanxuan, and the rest stayed to continue observing the situation.

The man came to Qi Yanxuan's tent and said, "Captain Qi! There's something wrong with the livestock outside tonight! They're making a lot of noise!"

"You go back first, I'll be there in a moment!"

Qi Yanxuan and the other two had already woken up when the man approached the tent.

Ever since the earthquake cloud appeared, Qi Yanxuan asked Shen Yanshan to live in a tent with them, so that they could be taken care of even if an earthquake occurred in the middle of the night.

After the three of them put on their clothes, Qi Yanxuan wrapped the child in a blanket and said to the two of them, "Let's go together! Don't leave my side during this time."

"good!"

Shen Yanqing took the child, and followed Qi Yanxuan out with Shen Yanshan to check the situation.

The three of them came to the livestock together. Qi Yanxuan took out a handful of food and fed it to the donkey in front of him. The donkey was restless and refused to eat. After confirming the situation, Qi Yanxuan turned to the people who were keeping watch and said:

"Go wake everyone up!"

After a cup of tea, everyone gathered together.

Qi Yanxuan looked at everyone seriously and said, "The earth could turn against you at any moment. Go back and mark your own food and supplies and bring them here. I'll put them away for you! I'll return them to you after the earth turns against you!"

"well!"

Everyone was very nervous when they heard that the earthquake might happen at any time, but they tried their best to control their emotions and quickly packed up their belongings and piled them all in the open space.

After Qi Yanxuan put all the things into the space, the sound of running came from the distant forest, and the mountains seemed to be shaking.

When everyone heard the sound, they thought it was a cow turning over, and they all hugged their families in fear.

After a while, all kinds of animals ran out of the forest and ran towards the crowd at a very fast speed. The densely packed animals formed a beast tide.

Qi Yanxuan used his supernatural powers to build a tall purple wall of lightning around the crowd, and countless arcs of electricity flashed wildly on the wall of lightning.

Those animals all turned into ashes when they hit the thunder wall. Qi Yanxuan felt distressed when he saw it. He immediately turned into lightning and teleported out of the thunder wall, moving quickly among the animals. Every time he passed by, a large group of animals disappeared. Until all the animals were almost collected and only a few escaped, Qi Yanxuan did not chase them anymore. He flashed back to Shen Yanqing's side and removed the thunder wall.

"Let's wait here until the bull turns over before we leave! If the bull turns over, the night watchman will ring the gong, and the rest of us will leave the tent quickly!"

After saying that, a few people went back to the tent first. The others did not dare to go back to sleep, so they squeezed together in the open space to spend the night. This place was open and safer than other places when an earthquake came. At least it was far away from the mountains and forests, and there were no buildings around.

It was past midnight and the sky was still gray.

Because everyone was sleeping on the floor, everyone could clearly hear the unusual noise coming from underground, which sounded like cannon fire, thunder, and a strong wind.

Everyone stood up immediately in shock, and suddenly a little girl's childish voice came into everyone's ears.

"Mom~ the light in the sky is so beautiful!"

Everyone looked up at the sky and saw a silver-blue band of light appearing on the horizon, which looked extremely mysterious.

Qi Yanxuan and his companions had extraordinary hearing, so they left the tent together when they heard unusual sounds from the ground. At this time, they also saw the silver-blue ground light in the sky.

The appearance of earth light will be accompanied by the arrival of an earthquake. Qi Yanxuan instantly activated his supernatural power, and lightning formed a huge protective shield that covered everyone.

At the same time, the earth began to shake, and the whole world seemed to be undergoing demolition and reconstruction. Countless mountains sank into the ground, and the originally flat land instantly turned into high mountains. The earth cracked into the shape of a spider web and was squeezed closed again. Volcanoes in various places erupted at the same time, and all living things died wherever the magma spread.

When the underwater volcano erupted, the surrounding sea water was instantly boiled, and countless sea creatures died and floated to the surface. Then countless huge whirlpools appeared, sweeping away the bodies of these creatures.

Only at this moment did everyone deeply feel the despair of the end of the world, with countless terrified wails and hoarse cries.

Gradually, everyone became unstable and fell to the ground one by one. The mountains in the distance shattered and collapsed, and rocks rolled down. Then, huge noises resounded through the world. Mountains collapsed and the earth cracked, and rocks flew everywhere, landing on the lightning shield and turning into ashes. Everyone was frightened by the scene in front of them, and screamed in unison. They wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads in fear until they were sure that the boulders could not fall.

However, the earthquake was far more than that. The earth began to crack into huge cracks, separating everyone. The lightning shield could protect against dangers in the air but could not prevent dangers underground.

Everyone stumbled to their feet and tried to avoid the cracked ground beneath their feet. Seeing this, Shen Yanshan activated his supernatural power to try to control the cracked ground to close, but he could only slow down the speed of the cracking but could not stop it.

Countless cracks opened and closed under the earthquake. Seeing this, Qi Yanxuan released the blood-sucking vine. The moment the blood-sucking vine appeared, it became extremely huge. Countless branches extended from its body and rolled up the people who fell into the cracks into the air. Those people saw themselves falling into the cracks and thought they were dead, but they were rolled up the next moment.

Shen Yanqing held the child and activated his wind ability to avoid the ground that cracked from time to time, while Qi Yanxuan's body continuously outputted lightning energy, and he held the lightning crystal core in his hand and absorbed it quickly, maintaining the shield while also keeping an eye on Shen Yanqing and Shen Yanshan.

It is unknown how long this earthquake will last, so he must ensure that he is in the best condition at all times.

Just as Qi Yanxuan was absorbing the crystal core, a group of disaster victims fled from afar, about 10,000 to 20,000 people. The group at the front looked like they were from wealthy families, and they were surrounded by a large number of guards. Those guards protected a man and a woman in the middle the whole time, while they ran, they avoided the huge rocks falling from the sky and the cracks in the ground that could appear at any time under their feet.

A large number of people were either smashed into a bloody mist by huge rocks or fell into the suddenly cracked ground, resulting in heavy casualties.

Those people saw that Qi Yanxuan and the others were hiding in the purple shield, and the huge rocks falling from the sky could not hurt them at all, and there were huge vines protecting the people inside. Although they found it unbelievable, the will to survive made them all run here for help.
