"Boom … …"
A bolt of lightning, carrying with it an incomparably overbearing might of heaven and earth, ruthlessly struck the rocks on the top of the mountain. At the moment when the heavenly lightning struck down, the color of heaven and earth changed. Ye Xiaotian and Zhan Ning'er, who were still more than 60 meters away from the top of the mountain, felt their hair stand up straight.
"Boom … … Rumble … …"
It was as if there was a ten thousand year old great demon hidden on the top of the mountain, and right now, it was facing its heavenly tribulation. Another bolt of lightning struck down relentlessly, causing Zhan Ning'er's legs to tremble, and her face to turn pale.
Many girls who were usually very courageous and outgoing would be afraid of some strange and completely harmless things, such as thunder. Some girls would lie on their bed, listening to the thunder outside the window, and cover their heads with the quilt while trembling, as if they were the reincarnation of a vixen.
Zhan Ning'er was precisely such a person. She was not afraid of anything, but she was afraid of thunder. At this moment, listening to the terrifying sound of thunder that could destroy everything, she recalled the many legends about the Thunder God in her tribe. The usually courageous Zhan Ning'er was so scared that she didn't even dare to move.
"Heavens! This is … … this is the Thunder God's forbidden area … … "
Zhan Ning'er cried out in alarm. The third bolt of lightning continued to strike down, it was another drought lightning!
Zhan Ning'er's knees softened, and she couldn't help but kneel down, and said in a terrified voice, "We accidentally trespassed into the forbidden area, and angered the Thunder God."
"Angered your head!"
Ye Xiaotian's sixth sense miraculously kicked in. He roared as he pounced forward, grabbing Zhan Ning 'er and rolling down the hill. Zhan Ning' er's body trembled, and Ye Xiaotian felt a tingling sensation on his head.
"Rumble … …"
Just as the two of them rolled away from the ground, a bolt of lightning accurately struck the place where they were standing just a moment ago. The invisible airwave caused by the lightning threw the two of them into the air like a rubber ball, and they rolled all the way down the mountain slope.
"Ouch, it hurts …"
Ye Xiaotian's body was knocked against the rocks and the pain was unbearable. He struggled to get up and saw that Zhan Ning 'er had already gotten up and was kneeling on the ground. She looked at the top of the mountain, her face pale, and mumbled to herself: "Hope to send Bolue Da Suo, hope to send Bolue Da Suo."
In her shock, Zhan Ning 'er involuntarily spoke her mother tongue, Xi Zui was the name of the Thunder God that the Miao people revered, Da Suo was thunder, Da Suo Bolue was thunder, Zhan Ning' er only had one thought in her mind right now, that was they had accidentally trespassed into the forbidden place and enraged the Thunder God, the Thunder God started to thunder.
Ye Xiaotian rubbed his elbow and came over, asking curiously, "What spell are you chanting?"
Zhan Ning 'er turned around and looked at him, said in despair, "We have enraged the Thunder God."
Ye Xiaotian impatiently waved his hand and said, "Thunder God old master's eyesight is not good, he did not strike accurately, you don't have to bother about him. But this place is really strange, no matter how we turn we are unable to get out, we can clearly see the sun and distinguish the direction, this is too strange."
Zhan Ning 'er's status was high and she was skilled in martial arts, she had always been strong in front of Ye Xiaotian but right now she was frightened out of her wits by the occasional thunder. Seeing that Ye Xiaotian was so calm, she immediately treated him as her pillar and hurriedly went nearer, as if this would give her a sense of security.
Zhan Ning 'er asked, "Then what do we do now?"
Ye Xiaotian sighed and said, "I originally wanted to climb up the hillside, it would be easier to find the way from a high vantage point, but who knew that the Thunder God old master was having fun up there, it seems that this method will not work. When we ran here, the sun was on this side, according to the time, we should have run from the west, then let's go west, we should be able to get out in at most an hour, remember to look at the terrain along the way. "
Zhan Ning 'er nodded repeatedly, the two of them walked in the direction Ye Xiaotian had chosen.
The terrain here was very harsh, the ground was covered with rugged reddish-brown and dark brown stones, and the stones were connected together in a flowing shape, maybe thousands of years ago this place was once a volcano, and these stones were made of magma.
In the undulating stone mountains, there were hot springs of different sizes, the dense fog shrouded the surface, it was unknown how deep the water was. In such a place, there were only a few short, sparse plants growing, many of which had red leaves, even Zhan Ning 'er did not know what kind of plant it was.
The two of them walked in the direction they had decided on for more than an hour, then stopped and looked at each other. Looking up from here, they saw that the angle of the earthy red mountain was exactly the same as the angle when they rolled down the mountain. Ye Xiaotian even remembered the rock next to his feet, his arm was hit on this rock, it was still faintly painful.
Ye Xiaotian sighed and said, "We are lost."
Zhan Ning 'er shook her head and said in a depressed tone, "I can't remember the terrain, the terrain here is almost the same."
Ye Xiaotian frowned and thought for a moment, he looked on the ground, picked up two stones, placed one of them on the protruding rock next to him, and said to Zhan Ning 'er, "Follow me!"
The two of them walked for a distance, Ye Xiaotian placed the second stone on the protruding rock. Zhan Ning 'er asked curiously, "What are you doing?"
Ye Xiaotian said proudly, "If we 'connect' these two stones, it will definitely be a straight line. We'll just follow the straight line formed by these two stones and walk forward. After a certain distance, when we're about to lose sight of the first stone, we'll place another stone. This way, we'll always be walking in a straight line and won't go in circles. How can we not be able to get out of here?"
"That's right!"
Zhan Ning 'er said cheerfully, "I didn't expect your little cleverness to be so useful."
It was rare for Ye Xiaotian to be modest, he said with a smile, "It's nothing, I saw the craftsmen used this method when they were building houses and walls, it's just that there is really a line between those two stones, we can't see it. The two of them talked as they walked, behind a rock behind them, Bai Xiaoxiao's pale and beautiful face popped out.
Bai Xiaoxiao lost her way after following them into the Lightning God's forbidden area, it was only when Ye Xiaotian and Zhan Ning 'er were circling around this mountain that she discovered the two of them and quietly followed them.
Bai Xiaoxiao was a Miao, the reverence she had for the Lightning God since young made her tremble with fear. But her master's cruel methods were scarier than death, comparing the two, she would rather anger the Lightning God to barge into the forbidden area and kill Ye Xiaotian and Zhan Ning 'er to complete her mission.
But this place was too strange, they could clearly see the mountain in the distance, but they just couldn't get out. She wanted to quietly follow Ye Xiaotian and Zhan Ning 'er first, it would be best if they could find the way out, then she would kill them.
Bai Xiaoxiao carried the knife that she took from the man in black, like a ghost, she quietly followed behind them. Ye Xiaotian and Zhan Ning 'er were focused on finding the way out, they didn't notice her at all.
…
The man in black with four broken fingers ran all the way to the shrine, across the vast Deity Lake, he could already see the sacred and solemn building from afar. The man in black touched the jade token in his bosom, he couldn't help but smile proudly.
So many of his brothers came out, dead or injured, he didn't expect this great merit to fall on his head. Even though the chieftain was cruel, he was clear about rewards and punishments. With this great merit, he would definitely be rewarded handsomely, at that time, he would enjoy endless glory, splendor and wealth, wouldn't it be ten times better than living on the edge of a knife? So what if he had four broken fingers.
The man in black was abnormally excited, his already exhausted body thought of the good days ahead, and his blood boiled. His body seemed to have endless strength, he suddenly quickened his pace.
"Hmm?"
The man in black suddenly felt a slight itch on his neck, he didn't care, he just stretched out his hand to scratch, this scratch, he touched something as thin as a cow's hair. The man in black caught it between his fingers, it was actually a blow dart, his eyes instantly narrowed, but he already didn't have time to see clearly who did it, he took another step forward, his whole body suddenly went limp. In the haze, he saw a few pairs of straw shoes appear in front of him, then he fell into eternal darkness.
More than a dozen fierce and agile Mountain Miaos appeared around the man in black. Someone muttered in the Miao language, "This is Yang Yinglong's lackey, what is he doing here?"
Another person squatted down, searched the black-attired man, after a moment, that jade card was found by him, a few of the Miao people gathered together and muttered for a while, someone seemed to recognise this jade card, immediately called out loudly, the next moment, a few Mountain Miao people escorting a black-attired man hurriedly came out from the forest.
This person was wearing the same style of black robes as Gegwo, and he also had a silver Gu God Pendant on his chest. He had a full beard, a square face, thick eyebrows, and wide eyes. He looked very dignified at first glance.
Someone handed that jade token to him, once he saw it, that person's eyes twitched a few times, of course he recognized this jade token, because this was a keepsake passed down from the first Gu God Venerable.
This jade token did not have any special use, other than being the keepsake of the Venerable, it only had one special ability, this jade token was neither gold nor iron, not knowing what kind of jade material it was made from, not knowing whether it was born with some special special power, or it was blessed by the generations of Venerable, it could resist a special kind of Gu: Thousand Years!
Thousand Years was an extremely special kind of Gu poison that only the Venerable would refine, once it was used, no one could enter the range of the Gu poison, only with this jade token could one enter and exit, how did this jade token end up in the hands of this man in black?
The man in black looked towards the direction of the temple, his thick brows slightly frowned, "The jade token is from the Venerable, this is certain, Yang Yinglong's people obviously killed the Venerable's messenger, and wanted to give this jade token to Yang Yinglong, but the Venerable... who is he going to give this jade token to?"
If Zhan Ning 'er was here at this time, seeing this man in black, she would definitely be shocked, because this elder in black was the closest to the An and Zhan families, and was usually most appreciated and trusted by the Venerable, that Gemao man. According to the orders of the Venerable, he should be at the Gu Ji village, but he actually appeared here.
