Rain poured down and the dusky sky was very low. Qin Lang's group of 15 slowly flew at a low altitude.
They didn't dare to fly too high because they would easily be struck by lightning. Although the lightning outside wasn't very powerful, it could still injure Void Refinement cultivators. Therefore, they wouldn't fly at high altitudes unless it was absolutely necessary.
As for the ground, it was almost all swamp. Moreover, ferocious beasts would occasionally rush out of the swamp and attack passing cultivators. Therefore, they didn't land. If they really wanted to rest, they could only find a small hill that was much higher than the ground.
This wasn't the first time Shi Shuiqing's group had entered the swamp, so they were quite familiar with it. They led Qin Lang all the way to the depths of the swamp.
"Brother Zhu, as we fly, you can sense the density of the lightning attribute. Generally speaking, Thunderfruit will only appear in places with a high concentration of lightning powers. We ordinary cultivators are not that sensitive to lightning powers. Finding such places will be difficult. Thus, we can only rely on you!" a young cultivator said with a smile.
This was also the reason why they were looking for a lightning attribute cultivator to join their group. After all, ordinary cultivators wouldn't be able to clearly sense lightning unless they had absolute perception like Bu Lianshi. It would be more difficult for them to find Thunderfruits.
They had also obtained some Thunderfruits in their previous operations, but the number was less than half of that of a team with a lightning attribute cultivator. This was why they recruited Qin Lang after some consideration. Otherwise, a group that was already very familiar with each other would rarely invite a stranger to join them.
"Leave it to me!" Qin Lang nodded.
In fact, Qin Lang's sensitivity to lightning was far beyond Shi Shuiqing's group's imagination. His perception of ordinary elements wasn't much stronger than others, but when it came to lightning, he could reach a level similar to Bu Lianshi's absolute perception. This was because he had already mastered a type of Purple Heaven Divine Lightning, which was the lightning punishment of the Heavenly Dao. It was one of the supreme existences of lightning.
"Young Seven, why did you choose me instead of that lightning attribute cultivator at the mid Void Refinement stage?" Qin Lang asked.
The young cultivator who spoke to him just now was the seventh in the group, so everyone called him Young Seven. He was a talkative person and was the kind who was more familiar with people. Therefore, he interacted more with Qin Lang.
"That person won't do. He's too arrogant. Even if he's strong, he won't sincerely join our team. Rather than having someone like him disrupt the harmonious atmosphere of our team, I'd rather not have him join!" Young Seven angrily said.
The attitude of that cultivator from before was simply too arrogant, completely looking down on loose cultivators like them. Since that was the case, there was no need to force it.
"I see …" Qin Lang nodded, and a faint light flashed through his eyes.
The reason Qin Lang asked Young Seven this question was because Qin Lang had detected a strange lightning-attribute fluctuation on Young Seven's body. It was the same as the one from before.
So he wanted to see if Young Seven had been accidentally left behind, or if Young Seven had turned traitor.
From the looks of it, the imprint was most likely left by accident. After all, Young Seven's hatred for that cultivator was undeniable.
But even if he found out, Qin Lang did not plan to make a move.
Since that person had left behind such an imprint, it was obvious that he wanted to follow them. Since that was the case, why should Qin Lang act rashly and alert the enemy? He was more than happy to have someone deliver themselves to his door.
"That person seems to be from a large clan. He should be able to call for a lot of helpers. If that's the case, we should be able to snatch a lot of good things … Thunder Fruits … Spirit Stones … Magic Treasures … Hehehe …" Qin Lang secretly calculated, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curve into a smile. He even seemed a little excited.
After entering the swamp for two hours, everyone was already a little tired. After all, they had to carefully guard against the dangers around them and deal with the fierce beasts that suddenly appeared from the swamp. It could be said that their nerves were constantly stretched.
"There's a small mountain about ten kilometers away from here. Let's go there and rest for a bit!" Shi Shuiqing said to everyone.
Everyone nodded and had no objections to this.
Qin Lang didn't say anything either. Along the way, he basically didn't make a move. This team really didn't have any intention of using him as cannon fodder. They carefully protected him in the middle and basically treated him like a perception-type cultivator.
Perhaps this was because they were looking down on him. After all, Qin Lang's cultivation wasn't high. But in Qin Lang's opinion, this kind of approach was very rare. When this kind of team recruited cultivators, which one of them didn't want to find one or two cannon fodder to explore the dangers? Deaths and injuries were common occurrences. In fact, when there was danger, they would even be directly abandoned. People like Shi Shuiqing were really a clear stream in the rogue cultivator team.
Moreover, Qin Lang had also taken advantage of his lightning perception along the way and led everyone to find three Thunder Fruits in the periphery. This was something that Shi Shuiqing didn't dare to imagine before, so he was even more careful to protect Qin Lang and not let him come into any danger.
Just as they were about to reach the small mountain where they rested, Qin Lang suddenly frowned. He felt an unusual lightning power coming from more than ten kilometers away. However, it was rather vague, as if it was being isolated by something.
"Wait …" Qin Lang directly froze in mid-air.
Everyone was stunned. They were already about to reach the place where they rested. Could it be that they had found something?
"I can feel an obscure wave of thunder and lightning. It's not far from the small mountain. Shall we go and take a look?" Qin Lang asked.
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
It wasn't that they didn't trust Qin Lang, but this small mountain was a place that many cultivators would choose to rest after entering the swamp. Therefore, the surrounding area had already been explored by countless cultivators. If there weren't tens of thousands, there were at least thousands. How could there still be lightning fluctuations?
"Are you sure? This area has already been searched by countless cultivators? "Shi Shuiqing asked, wanting to confirm.
"I'm sure!" Qin Lang nodded seriously.
Everyone looked at each other. After all, they weren't very familiar with Qin Lang. However, they also understood the principle of darkness under the lamp. Perhaps it was precisely this kind of place where everyone thought there wouldn't be treasures that would appear.
"Let's go and take a look!" After thinking for a moment, Shi Shuiqing made up her mind.
Qin Lang glanced at Shi Shuiqing. He had to admit that this woman was quite bold. Moreover, she was able to lead so many people and the atmosphere was so harmonious. It was obvious that her ability wasn't low.
Qin Lang pointed in a direction and everyone flew directly towards that place.
As they got closer, Qin Lang's perception became clearer and clearer. He finally knew why his perception was so vague before. Firstly, it was because the lightning came from underground. Secondly, it was because a ferocious beast used its ability to shield the fluctuations of the lightning.
