Little did Shushu know that a huge surprise was about to await her on Zixiao Mountain.
She traveled at breakneck speed the whole way, because Xuejie had already sent her a telepathic message, sensing that her tribulation was about to begin.
Previously, in order to avoid triggering the tribulation lightning and to temporarily prevent the Heavenly Dao from sensing their situation, the big guys in the space have not dared to show themselves since leaving the Wuhua Secret Realm.
Even the space used for millet and potatoes was carefully considered.
But Heaven's will is Heaven's will, and these little tricks can only be hidden for a limited time under its watchful eye.
Sure enough, despite everyone's efforts to suppress it, it was still discovered, and the person involved has been given a warning, reminding them to come forward and take the initiative to overcome the tribulation as soon as possible.
If the tribulation lightning is passively formed in the end, and the person undergoing the tribulation remains hidden and does not undergo the tribulation, the tribulation lightning will accumulate and become stronger.
This was not the result Shushu wanted, so she could only rush on her way while making preparations in advance. If she could not reach Zixiao Mountain in time, she would have to undergo the tribulation on the spot.
Fortunately, the bad outcome that the potato didn't want to see didn't come true.
After running for a day and a night, Shushu finally managed to find Zixiao Mountain before the lightning tribulation formed, and conducted an on-site investigation.
Finally, they chose a good mountain, released Xuejie, and handed her a storage ring full of items prepared for her tribulation. Only then did Shushu step aside to protect her.
After thinking for a moment, she also released Huo Yi, Phoenix Flame, and Wentian Seal, with each of the four guarding a side to prevent any beasts from attacking.
Xuejie's tribulation lightning also formed very quickly; almost the instant that Shushu arranged everyone, the tribulation clouds above their heads had already condensed.
With a hiss, a bolt of lightning thicker than a bowl fell straight down, its target Yukisuke in the middle.
Yukisuke swayed slightly after being struck, but he managed to hold on and did not fall.
However, he couldn't hold back and a trickle of blood spilled from his lips. His human form flickered and transformed into a huge, snow-white bear.
Upon seeing this, Shushu's heart leaped into his throat.
He only felt relieved when he saw Xuejie grinning foolishly at him. He urged her to take a pill and, while he was at a loss for words, to bring out something to ward off the lightning tribulation.
Xuejie only remembered what he was holding after hearing Shushu's reminder. He hurriedly did as he was told, opened his storage ring, pulled out the pills, and stuffed them into his mouth.
The pill melted instantly upon entering the mouth, and the body, which had just been struck by lightning, was instantly nourished by the medicinal power, and the pain dissipated rapidly.
Soon, he recovered about 70-80% of his strength. He grinned at Shushu and gave him another silly smile. Under Shushu's glare, he pulled out an array plate and prepared to face the second lightning tribulation.
With another loud boom, the second lightning tribulation struck, and Xuejie simultaneously threw the array plate in his hand towards the falling lightning tribulation.
With a crack, the lightning tribulation was completely blocked, and the array plate shattered into countless fragments that flew in all directions.
Since he wasn't struck by lightning, Xuejie didn't take any pills this time. Instead, he buried his head in digging out a piece of sturdy black iron and waited for the third lightning strike.
Then came the fourth, the fifth, and so on, up to the third to last lightning tribulation. Xuejie used various things to resist them.
A single lightning strike can destroy a treasure. If outsiders saw this, they would probably be green with envy, wishing they could snatch the storage ring from its hand and keep it for themselves.
Shushu showed no pity whatsoever. In her eyes, things were inanimate, but her friends were alive.
She truly didn't feel it was a loss to exchange these inanimate objects for her friends' safe passage through the tribulation.
Yukisuke knew this, which is why he didn't hesitate to use things.
However, while he could withstand the previous lightning tribulations, Xuejie had no intention of avoiding the last two.
Although the tribulation of lightning is dangerous, if one can overcome it, the benefits will definitely outweigh the drawbacks, and one can even temper one's body along the way.
Therefore, when the penultimate lightning bolt struck, Yukisuke leaped into the air and took the lightning bolt with his own body.
As we all know, the lightning tribulations become more and more powerful as they progress, especially the last two.
The moment he was struck, Yukisuke was unsurprised and fell to the ground, his massive figure creating a huge crater in the earth.
Shushu secretly probed over with his divine sense and, good heavens, the original snow-white snow bear had now turned into a black bear, completely black from head to toe.
Even as it struggled to its feet and opened its mouth to speak, a breath of black smoke came out, making it look completely charred.
Even the air was filled with the smell of burnt, roasted meat.
Before Shushu could speak, Wentianyin suddenly blurted out, "It smells so good!"
Huo Yi and Phoenix Flame nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, but some of it is burnt."
Hearing these three words, Shushu couldn't help but twitch his lips. Just then, he met Xuejie's resentful gaze and guiltily looked away.
Claw pinched her own thigh to suppress the laughter that was about to escape her lips, then cleared her throat and reminded Xuejie, "There's one last lightning tribulation left, you'd better take a pill quickly."
Xuejie knew what was important and what wasn't. Seeing that Shushu had changed the subject, it didn't press the issue. Instead, it swallowed several pills and waited for the final lightning tribulation.
Soon, the final lightning tribulation arrived as scheduled, with a loud boom, and the lightning bolt was as big as two bowls.
Yukisuke, who had just gotten up and stood firm, was also blasted back into the deep pit he had just crawled out of.
It took a long time for it to get up.
If it weren't for the fact that the ominous clouds in the sky had dispersed and the sweet rain had begun to gather, it would have almost thought it was dead.
It wasn't until the rain stopped and the sky cleared up again, restoring Xuejie's snow-white coat, that she happily climbed out of the pit and gave Shushu another standard silly grin.
Shushu examined her thoroughly to make sure there was nothing wrong with her, then put her back into his spatial storage to help her consolidate her cultivation.
As for Shushu, after resting for a while, it called out the next friend to continue acting as a protector.
For the next several dozen days, the lightning tribulations here never stopped. Some spirit beasts also visited, but with Shushu around, they dared not cross the boundary and only dared to take a look from afar.
Finally, after dozens of busy days, among all the companions, only Chengxu had not yet undergone the tribulation.
Because of her dual nature as both spirit and demon, her tribulation will be exceptionally severe.
Originally, the plan was to save the sweet potato for last, to accompany her through the tribulation.
However, Chengxu refused, saying it wanted to try to overcome the tribulation on its own. If it couldn't, Shushu could help it then.
Shushu couldn't persuade her otherwise, so he finally agreed.
Standing at the estimated distance, Shushu was extremely nervous and focused, ready to rush in if Xiaochengxu couldn't hold on any longer.
