"It's the nearest city from here. Based on the speed of that cow, it should be able to arrive at seven or eight o 'clock in the evening. If Zhou Wen doesn't wish to sleep in the wilderness, it's very likely that he will stay there. This seven o 'clock guess makes sense, "Zhang Chunqiu said with a smile.
"I can't compare to you, Brother Zhang. It was just a random guess," Xia Liuchuan said with a smile.
"Then I'll make a random guess. Let's make it 7: 01," Zhang Chunqiu said in all seriousness.
"If you guess 7: 01, then I'll guess 6: 59," Dugu Ge also said.
"Hey, isn't it a little too much to bully others like this?" Xia Liuchuan said unhappily.
Zhang Chunqiu smiled and said, "Actually, it's too easy to guess the time. Why don't we change the guessing method?"
"What else can I guess?" Xia Liuchuan couldn't think of anything else to guess.
"Let's guess which city he wants to take the log to. What do you think?" Zhang Chunqiu said.
"Alright, I'll bet. I'll let you guess first this time," Xia Liuchuan said.
"There's no need. Let's write it on paper and open it together." Zhang Chunqiu took a piece of paper and a pen and handed it to Xia Liuchuan and Dugu Ge.
The three of them typed in their own answers and opened it together.
After looking at each other's answers, the three of them looked at each other. This was because out of the three of them, two of them wrote the Imperial Capital, while only Xia Liuchuan wrote the Capital.
However, the capital and the Imperial Capital basically had the same meaning. It was just that the natives of the Imperial Capital were more used to calling it the capital.
"From the looks of it, I can't bet on this either," Xia Liuchuan said with a smile.
"Why don't we make it simpler? Let's bet on whether he can reach the Imperial Capital alive," Dugu Ge said.
"Yes or no, there are only two answers. How should the three of us bet?" Xia Liuchuan said.
"That's simple. Reaching the Imperial Capital alive, reaching the Imperial Capital after death, and not reaching the Imperial Capital at all. Aren't there three answers? The time limit is one month, what do you think? "Dugu Ge said.
"That makes sense. Who will choose first?" Xia Liuchuan looked at Dugu Ge.
"Since I was the one who proposed the rules, I'll be the last to choose," Dugu Ge said.
Zhang Chunqiu's expression was somewhat solemn. After pinching his fingers for a while, he said, "If no one snatches it from me, I'll choose to go to the Imperial Capital after I die."
"I won't snatch it from you. I want him to reach the capital alive," Xia Liuchuan said.
"Then the remaining answer belongs to me. I guess he can't reach the capital," Dugu Ge said.
"In that case, let's travel together and follow him. Let's see the outcome," Zhang Chunqiu suggested.
"Alright." Dugu Ge stood up.
The trio left the coffee shop and chased after Zhou Wen.
Zhou Wen carried the log and left the city. Although he was riding the Great Might Vajra Bull, carrying the log still required a lot of stamina. When he left the city, Zhou Wen's forehead was already covered in sweat. His clothes were drenched.
Helpless, Zhou Wen could only switch to the Ancient Sovereign Sutra and fuse with the Defy Ancient Sovereign Life Soul. With the augmentation of the powerful vitality, he could continue carrying the log.
The Great Might Vajra Bull didn't have it easy either. Its speed was much slower and couldn't be compared to usual. It ran like an old bull dragging a cart.
Not long after leaving the city and entering the mountains, the sky suddenly darkened. The sky was covered in dark clouds, and lightning bolts resembled faintly discernible divine dragons. Occasionally, ferocious figures would flash in the dark clouds.
Is it going to rain heavily? Zhou Wen couldn't help but frown when he heard the thunder. He stared at the thick dark clouds.
Brother Dugu, Zhang Chunqiu, and Xia Liuchuan followed far behind Zhou Wen. They didn't chase too closely. With Zhang Chunqiu, who could predict, they didn't have to be afraid of losing him, nor did they need to get too close.
At that moment, they also saw the dark clouds and lightning that filled the sky, but they weren't as optimistic as Zhou Wen.
"Chunqiu, what do you think?" Xia Liuchuan asked as he stared at the dark clouds in the sky with a solemn expression.
Zhang Chunqiu pinched his fingers and said, "It's an ominous sign …"
"Don't try to fool me. I want to hear the truth." Xia Liuchuan interrupted Zhang Chunqiu.
"The truth is that a break-out creature is about to be born. Furthermore, it doesn't look too weak. It looks like you'll be busy," Zhang Chunqiu said with a smile.
Among the three of them, only Xia Liuchuan needed Zhou Wen to reach the Imperial Capital alive before he could win the bet. He naturally wouldn't let Zhou Wen die here. As long as he could win, Xia Liuchuan didn't mind helping Zhou Wen.
As they spoke, Zhou Wen had already sped up, hoping to reach the city ahead as soon as possible.
Unfortunately, the log was too heavy. Even if the Great Might Vajra Bull ran with all its might, it couldn't run too fast.
"That's not right!" As Zhang Chunqiu walked, he pinched his fingers to calculate something. He looked around and suddenly, his expression changed as he cried out.
"What's wrong?" Xia Liuchuan asked curiously.
Before Zhang Chunqiu could answer, he heard an explosion in the sky. A bolt of lightning descended from the sky and struck a forest near them.
Strangely enough, when the lightning struck the forest, it produced visible electric arcs. The forest enveloped by the lightning only flashed with lightning, but there was no fire.
And this was just the beginning. Large amounts of lightning continued to fall, falling into the forest, covering all the flowers, grass, and trees with a layer of lightning. However, the flowers, grass, and trees did not die. Instead, they became even more energetic.
"Quaking a divination, Returning Sister Lightning Pool. It looks like this isn't good," Zhang Chunqiu said as he calculated.
Xia Liuchuan had spent a long time with Zhang Chunqiu, so he had a simple understanding of divination. When he heard that, he said, "Returning Sister Lightning Pool shouldn't be a dangerous divination, right? I remember hearing you say that the meaning of Returning Sister Lightning Pool divination is that for greater benefits, one has to pay a certain price in exchange. It's just like marrying off one's sister. "
"Although what you said isn't completely correct, it's not too far off. However …" Before Zhang Chunqiu could finish his sentence, he suddenly saw the plants that were covered in lightning seem to come to life. Their branches and leaves trembled as they shot out bolts of lightning.
Instantly, crisscrossing lightning enveloped Xia Liuchuan and company.
This level of lightning naturally didn't affect them much. Xia Liuchuan shattered the lightning with a wave of his hand.
Thunder boomed in the sky again. This time, the thunder was especially loud, causing the entire mountain range to tremble. In the dark clouds in the sky, a ball of azure lightning fell like a meteor.
Boom!
A large swath of the forest was destroyed as a figure emitting lightning appeared in the ruins of the forest.
