Chapter 84: Cruel is not human
While Green Shade was busy and excited, it heard Xiao Hei calling it a fool. Suddenly, Green Shade stopped digging the crystal stone and whipped Xiao Hei with its long vines with sharp thorns.
"You dare call me a fool! I'll beat you!"
Xiao Hei cursed, damn it, he actually spoke out what was in his mind!
What kind of violent person is this? Why does he beat people up at the slightest provocation? And yet he's so strong.
Blackie scurried around the room, dodging Greenshade's attacks, but Greenshade was determined to teach him a lesson. So, after running for a while, Blackie was still lashed out several times, draining some of his blood.
"You, you lunatic..."
What's wrong with calling you a fool? You're a fool! You're also a lunatic! You're no good, just like your master!
Xiao Hei was roaring madly in his heart. Even until now, he did not admit that Shen Yichuan was his master. Shen Yichuan was just the master of the fool Lu Yin, not his!
"You dare to scold me!" Seeing that Xiao Hei dared to speak dirty words, Lu Yin became even more angry. He rushed forward and slapped Xiao Hei a few more times.
After a while, Xiao Hei lay on the ground without any strength left, unable to lift even one of his paws.
"Hurry up and get up! Help the master with the work! You are not allowed to be lazy!" Green Shade yelled.
Xiao Hei: “…”
Dad! Mom! I'm so miserable! Come and save me!
Shen Yichuan was about to go directly into the pool, but the two pets were making too much noise here, so he couldn't help but order in his sea of consciousness: "Stop making noise, don't waste time, hurry up and dig for crystals."
"Yes, yes, master, it's Xiao Hei's fault for being disobedient." Lu Yin said immediately, complaining and being a lackey.
Shen Yichuan said calmly: "Xiao Hei is unruly. It doesn't matter how you beat him, but you can't delay the work."
"Yes, yes, master, don't worry, I will never let Xiao Hei delay his work." Luyin quickly assured.
Shen Yichuan was too lazy to pay attention to them and went directly into the pool.
Xiao Hei: “…”
Miserable! It's really miserable!
It simply doesn't want to live anymore!
Meanwhile, outside, Qi Xiuyuan hadn't even opened the door yet. When he violently broke it open, it shattered once, but soon, it solidified once more. At the same time, sharp sword energy attacked him.
At the beginning, Qi Xiuyuan was indeed very angry and aggrieved, so he used his strength to directly engage in a power fight with the sword energy here.
Then, gradually, as more and more sword energy gathered here to attack Qi Xiuyuan, Qi Xiuyuan gained a little enlightenment about the way of the sword while being attacked.
The sword wasn't his weapon, nor was he a swordsman, but Qi Xiuyuan had gained some understanding of the way of the sword. Furthermore, the nine-petal lotus on Qi Xiuyuan's forehead also emerged, wisps of green energy entwined with the enlightenment he felt from the sword energy. Qi Xiuyuan discovered that his nine-petal lotus seemed to have grown a bit larger.
So, Qi Xiuyuan simply released his Nine-Leaf Lotus. The sword energy continued to attack, and the enlightenment continued. The Nine-Leaf Lotus grew stronger little by little, and Qi Xiuyuan... also fell into a strange enlightenment.
Half an hour later, Shen Yichuan had absorbed all the water in the pool. He felt refreshed and his skin didn't seem to be hot anymore, which made him even more satisfied.
When he came to the outer room, Luyin and Xiaohei had already dug out all the crystals. Shen Yichuan was very satisfied with their efficiency.
Then, Shen Yichuan naturally thought of Qi Xiuyuan. The other party's target was the third room before, and he didn't know what was going on now. Thinking of this, Shen Yichuan quickly walked out of the room. When he saw Qi Xiuyuan still at the door of the third room, Shen Yichuan was slightly stunned.
It's been so long, and the protagonist hasn't even entered yet? This is impossible, right?
Soon, Shen Yichuan discovered that the other party's current state... seemed a little wrong. He moved a little closer, and the corner of Shen Yichuan's mouth twitched slightly.
Enlightenment, Qi Xiuyuan was actually having an enlightenment!
Then, Shen Yichuan also saw the nine-petal lotus in front of Qi Xiuyuan. As a reader, he knew exactly what this nine-petal lotus was. It was a powerful weapon, countless times more terrifying than the Green Shade. This thing played an indispensable role in the protagonist's divine rise and power.
Seeing the Nine-Leaf Lotus growing stronger little by little, Shen Yichuan curled his lips. The protagonist really deserves to be the protagonist. Before, it seemed that he was suppressed by him, but in the blink of an eye, he caught up. Now, Shen Yichuan can still feel Qi Xiuyuan's cultivation level rising... Suddenly, Shen Yichuan curled his lips even more.
I thought I could leave the protagonist behind, but it turns out that I was just thinking too much!
It seems that his dream of becoming the protagonist...can only be a dream.
Fortunately, the relationship between the two is not bad now. At least, he rarely senses murderous intent from the protagonist now, so... well, it is not unacceptable for both of them to become stronger.
After bypassing the third door, Shen Yichuan went directly to the fourth large room.
Here, it's soil.
The fifth large room, here is wood.
So, Qi Xiuyuan’s third room should be gold?
The sixth large room... is ice.
Ice, isn't it water? No, ice is not water. In this large room of ice, Shen Yichuan gained a clearer understanding of his absolute ice power, and the ability of absolute ice power also became a little stronger.
The seventh big room is Lei.
Shen Yichuan disliked this thing the most. For some reason, he had an instinctive fear of thunder. So the previous thunder tribulation might not be a big deal to Qi Xiuyuan, but it really scared him.
In this room of thunder, Shen Yichuan was the most embarrassed. He did not feel a bit of comfort during the absorption process, but he knew that he had to overcome this inexplicable fear of thunder, so he forced himself to absorb and devour.
Then, he encountered the first backlash of being devoured in history.
Boom! The entire thunder pond seemed about to explode, and Shen Yichuan's eyes turned scarlet. A voice in his heart told him that if he gave up now, if he expelled all the lightning power he had previously absorbed, he would immediately return to normal and regain consciousness. It was just one thunderbolt; if he didn't absorb it, there would be others. There were too many powers in this world, and they were of various kinds. There was no need to worry about a thunderbolt that displeased him.
But another voice told him that since he had an instinctive fear of thunder, he must overcome it.
A cultivator would not have this kind of fear. Fear is an emotion that should not exist in a powerful cultivator.
Moreover, if a cultivator wants to embark on the path of becoming a god, he will have to go through countless thunder tribulations in his lifetime! Therefore, if he develops a fear of thunder, one day, external forces will no longer be effective, and he will die under the thunder tribulation!
Two voices kept intertwining and circling in Shen Yichuan's mind. They were fighting and struggling.
In the end, Shen Yichuan fiercely dug out the first voice, leaving only the second voice.
Overcome! If he wants to become a god, he must overcome this fear of thunder! No matter what, he must overcome it!
Boom boom boom, the explosions in the thunder pool continued, and the backlash Shen Yichuan suffered became more severe, and his eyes became redder. But he gritted his teeth and continued to devour! He continued to devour regardless of how the thunder ruptured his skin, no matter how the backlash attacked his internal organs!
The noise here was so loud that even Qi Xiuyuan, who was in enlightenment, was slightly affected. His eyelids moved slightly, and after a few minutes he finally woke up from that enlightenment. Then, he saw his nine-leaf lotus.
It's actually... so much bigger?
Qi Xiuyuan was surprised and delighted. At this moment, he heard sobbing.
"Master, wuwu, master, please don't die, master, please come out quickly, master..."
This is Luyin's voice. Next to Luyin is Xiaohei, who is also sobbing... Don't think that he is also worried about Shen Yichuan. It's because Luyin is mentally ill! You are worried about your master, you are worried about yourself, why are you wrapping a vine around my neck!
No! I can't breathe!
Little Black whimpered miserably. If it hadn't been unable to resist, it would have wanted to tear Green Shade into pieces! Grind his bones and scatter them to ashes!
Let go! Let go!
Qi Xiuyuan put away the Nine-Leaf Lotus and ignored the door in front of him. He walked directly towards the green shade and asked, "What's going on?"
"Woo, woo, the master is in there, there are so many thunders, I can't get in, my branches are struck into ashes as soon as I go in, I can't bring the master out, it's too scary, those thunders and lightnings are too scary... Can you... can you bring the master out, the master looks so pitiful, his body is covered with wounds." As he said this, Green Shade, who felt sorry for his master, burst into tears.
Qi Xiuyuan's mouth twitched and he cried loudly, "You are a spiritual plant, not a child!"
Moreover, the crying made him think of the twins.
If something happened to Shen Yichuan, the twins would cry even more miserably than Lu Yin, right?
After all, the twins were so close to that guy…two blind little things, how could that scumbag Shen Yichuan really be close to them!
But, this isn't the real scumbag...
Qi Xiuyuan was depressed and irritably cast a confinement spell on Lvyin. Finally, Lvyin's crying stopped abruptly, and the world was quiet. Only Xiaohei was still sobbing weakly. Qi Xiuyuan glanced at Xiaohei. Xiaohei's eyes were full of expectation, hoping that this person could help him escape from Lvyin's clutches, and then... then he watched Qi Xiuyuan directly enter the room full of thunder and lightning power, and ignored him at all!
Xiao Hei: “…”
Birds of a feather flock together! This damn guy is just as annoying as that shitty master Shen Yichuan!
No! Maybe even more annoying!
Qi Xiuyuan came into the room. Although he was not afraid of thunder and lightning, the power of thunder and lightning here seemed a little too... violent.
Something seems wrong.
Frowning, Qi Xiuyuan put on three layers of defense for himself before gradually approaching the thunder pool.
At this moment, in the center of the thunder pool, Shen Yichuan himself was both a bloody man and a thundering man.
The power of thunder and lightning destroyed his skin. Now there was no intact skin on Shen Yichuan's body, so he was a bloody man. And his whole body was wrapped in the power of thunder and lightning, so he was also a thunder man.
What on earth was Shen Yichuan doing? He had been swallowing fire very smoothly before, even completely enjoying it. Why had this thunder made him become like this?
Suddenly, Qi Xiuyuan thought of the time when the other party was going through the thunder tribulation...
At that time, he felt that the other party was too extreme when undergoing the thunder tribulation and was too afraid of death, but now it seems... maybe the other party is not afraid of death, but afraid of... thunder?
But if you're afraid of thunder, why enter this thunder pool? Isn't it better not to consume the thunder here?
Qi Xiuyuan found it really hard to understand this person. He really didn't know what this guy was doing...
In addition, looking at Shen Yichuan who looked like a bloody man, Qi Xiuyuan became even more restless. He moved his hands and was about to interrupt the people inside to kill themselves. Suddenly, Shen Yichuan roared, and then the devouring power of his body surged. Then, Qi Xiuyuan saw that the entire thunder and lightning power of the Thunder Pool was swept into his body like a tornado!
Qi Xiuyuan's expression changed slightly: "Are you crazy? Shen Yichuan, are you looking for death?"
His shouting did not alarm Shen Yichuan. Shen Yichuan not only absorbed the lightning power of the entire Thunder Pool, but also swallowed all the lightning power outside into his body...
The next moment, Shen Yichuan's men also fell to the ground.
