"You mean the Thunder God Pool." Yang Qing 'er suddenly realized.
"Thunder God Pool?" Lu Qingshan, who had successfully bribed Yang Qing 'er with a piece of mooncake, could not help but frown.
Hearing the name, he felt that it was not simple.
According to the map he had bought in East Sparrow City, it took him three days to reach the outside of the Thunder Forbidden Zone.
And in the canyon where the Thunder Forbidden Zone was located, there was a small tribe called 'Sheep'.
Living next to the Thunder Forbidden Zone for so many years, Lu Qingshan believed that the people in this tribe must know the Thunder Forbidden Zone very well.
And he, although came prepared, it was better to know the general situation of the Thunder Forbidden Zone, and then enter it.
"Yes." Yang Qing 'er nodded her head. Under the encouragement of the mooncake, she poured out the situation of the Thunder God Pool to Lu Qingshan like beans in a bamboo tube.
In fact, even if there was no mooncake, it would not be a problem, because in her heart, she was very happy to talk to the handsome man in front of her.
The Thunder God Pool was the name of the Sheep tribe for the Thunder Forbidden Zone.
The reason was that in the Thunder Forbidden Zone, there were thunder arcs flowing out from the core, causing the ground to be filled with thunder and lightning, and looking at it, it was like a thunder pool.
Then, in the Thunder Forbidden Zone, there would often be thunder and lightning, and the thunder arcs were extremely unstable.
Therefore, in the eyes of the people of the Sheep tribe, there must be a Thunder God sleeping in the Thunder Forbidden Zone.
That was how the Thunder God Pool got its name.
According to Yang Qing 'er, the Thunder God Pool would have a big thunder explosion.
When the big thunder exploded, all of them could hear the deafening sound of thunder. The duration was uncertain, but the longest was half an hour, and the shortest was less than half a minute.
But long ago, this big thunder would only explode once every one or two months.
But when she was born, the frequency of the big thunder explosion had been shortened to a unit of days.
And in the recent year, the frequency of the big thunder explosion had become two or three times a day.
"Many elders in the tribe said that the Thunder God may be waking up." Yang Qing 'er looked up at Lu Qingshan, her eyes shining.
Lu Qingshan stretched out his hand and rubbed the little girl's hair that was as yellow as weeds due to malnutrition. He smiled and said, "Then why aren't you afraid?"
He noticed that there was no trace of worry in Yang Qing 'er's eyes.
Being touched by Lu Qingshan, Yang Qing 'er was instinctively shy. Her voice was much smaller, but she said firmly, "Because the Thunder God is a good person. If it weren't for the existence of the Thunder God Pool, our tribe would have been eaten by the Sand Wolf Demons …"
Speaking of this, Yang Qing 'er was slightly disappointed, as if she had thought of something bad.
"Sand Wolf Demon?" Lu Qingshan asked again.
Yang Qing 'er, who had almost no contact with outsiders, was not too wary of Lu Qingshan.
Moreover, Lu Qingshan had a kind smile, so in the little girl's heart, he couldn't be a bad person.
Therefore, when she heard Lu Qingshan's question, Yang Qing 'er began to ramble on.
The Sand Wolf Demon was one of the most numerous sand demons in the Mogao Desert. Together with sandstorms and bandits, they were known as the three disasters of the Mogao Desert.
In this vast desert, the Sand Wolf Demon came and went in groups, raging and hunting for food.
If the number was more than a hundred, it was enough to slaughter a small tribe.
Near the Sheep Tribe, there was a large group of Sand Wolf Demon that numbered in the thousands, occupying an oasis.
According to common sense, a small tribe like the Sheep Tribe with less than a thousand people, located next to the Sand Wolf Demon, should have been gnawed by this group of Sand Wolf Demon long ago.
But it seemed that because of fear of the Thunder God, the group of Sand Wolf Demon had not dared to set foot in this canyon, and there were even very few who came close.
And the people of the Sheep Tribe naturally did not dare to leave this canyon easily.
The two sides were in a stalemate.
In Yang Qing 'er's heart, the Thunder God was the guardian of their tribe.
In this case, what was there to be afraid of if the Thunder God was revived?
"So that's how it is." Lu Qingshan looked again at the bottomless canyon, his eyes flickering with a faint light. He rubbed Yang Qing 'er's head and smiled, "Thank you for telling me so much."
"It's okay," Yang Qing 'er's yellow face was a little red. Looking up at the sky, the little girl suddenly panicked, "I have to go back quickly, or the sheep will starve."
"Go back." Lu Qingshan smiled.
Yang Qing 'er trotted away in small steps. After running a few steps, she suddenly stopped, turned her head to look at Lu Qingshan, and asked, "Do you want to go to our tribe to have a look …"
Facing Lu Qingshan's gaze, Yang Qing 'er was a little helpless, "I mean, Grandpa Patriarch may know more about the Thunder God Pool. He is also a Xiu … Xiu cultivator, and has lived for a long, long time."
The intelligent little girl understood Lu Qingshan's identity as a Xiu cultivator when she saw Lu Qingshan for the first time.
Lu Qingshan waved his hand, "No need, you said it very well. You told me everything I wanted to know."
Seeing that Lu Qingshan rejected her, the little girl did not say anything more. She waved her hand, carried the bamboo basket that was taller than her, and hurried away.
.....
After asking about the situation of the Thunder Forbidden Zone, Lu Qingshan pondered for a moment, and turned into a stream of light on his sword. His figure did not rise too high, and he walked slowly toward the Thunder Forbidden Zone along the canyon crack.
He walked slowly for an hour.
His feet trembled, and there was a clap of thunder between heaven and earth.
Rumble!
Lu Qingshan looked up, and the so-called Thunder God Pool had already appeared in front of his eyes.
As far as the eye could see, on the ground covered with gravel, lightning flashed, and bursts of mines moved, making sizzling sounds.
As far as the eye could see, it was all filled with this strong thunder, as if he had entered a thunder pool!
And above the sky, there was thunder falling.
Thunder arcs as thick as an arm suddenly flashed and appeared without any pattern, as if they were endless. They kept falling, and in the rumbling sound, they fell to the ground.
The ground absorbed the thunder and turned into silver snakes that flowed around, making the power of the thunder more vigorous.
This was a Thunder Prison World.
At this time, it was the time of the big thunder outbreak that Yang Qing 'er said, and the intensity of the thunder was really rare.
Lu Qingshan's eyes flashed, and he silently waited for the thunder tide to recede.
After a quarter of an hour.
The flashing heavenly lightning suddenly disappeared, and the rumbling thunder gradually calmed down. Only the lightning snakes that covered the ground were left crawling and slithering about.
According to Yang Qing 'er, the frequency of the big thunder outbreak in the Thunder God Pool had been shortened to two or three times a day.
In other words, there was still some time before the next thunder tide outbreak.
"Let's go in and see the situation first." Lu Qingshan's eyes focused, and with a flip of his left hand, a miniature wooden shield the size of a palm appeared in his hand.
On the wooden shield, there were complicated patterns.
Lu Qingshan injected spiritual power into it.
The patterns on the wooden shield suddenly flickered. Then, following those patterns, it suddenly cracked and disintegrated into countless scale-like fragments. They floated in the air and quickly formed an armor around him, protecting him within.
The Lightning Shield Armor was one of the lightning protection artifacts he bought in the Giant Bear City.
The material used for this artifact was lightning protection wood, which had an excellent insulation effect against thunder.
Under the protection of the Lightning Shield Armor, Lu Qingshan stepped in.
Sizzle!
The thunder on the ground emitted a blue light, and a few of them had already rushed up, toward Lu Qingshan.
His Dharma Artifact immediately came into play.
Those thunder arcs were all blocked by the Lightning Shield Armor, and attached to the armor, making crackling sounds.
Lu Qingshan could easily block this kind of powerful thunder with the help of his artifact, and even the consumption of spiritual power was almost zero.
But after taking a few more steps, Lu Qingshan's eyes suddenly showed a look of surprise.
"These thunder arcs seem a little strange …"
Lu Qingshan carefully examined the thunder arcs swimming outside the armor.
After a long time, he suddenly understood.
"These thunder arcs have acquired thunder, and also innate thunder …"
Thunder was divided into acquired and innate thunder arcs.
Acquired thunder was formed by external objects such as spells or supernatural powers, while innate thunder was nurtured by nature.
According to his expectations, the place where the Thunder Fruit was born should be a dangerous place of the world, and the thunder arcs should naturally be formed by the world.
However, the existence of the Acquired Thunder showed that this Thunder Forbidden Zone was not completely in line with what he had imagined.
"Is it that this place is not the place where the Thunder Generating Fruit is born? Or is it that there is something else in this Thunder Forbidden Zone … Could it be that the 'Thunder God' that the Goat Tribe spoke of really exists?" Lu Qingshan's heart gradually rose and his actions became even more cautious.
The deeper he went, the more intense the thunder arcs became.
Not long after, Lu Qingshan's armor was densely covered in thunder arcs, like a thunder cocoon. It looked terrifying.
As he went deeper, Lu Qingshan was extremely worried. He took out a green spiritual bead artifact from his storage ring.
His Spiritual Power circulated slightly, and a layer of green spiritual light enveloped his body.
Green Wood Bead, Middle-grade Earth Artifact. It was refined by a Nascent Soul cultivator using Green Wood Spiritual Jade as raw material, and engraved with Green Wood Spiritual Veins. Once activated, it would emit Green Wood Spiritual Light to protect the artifact's owner.
The Green Wood Spiritual Light of the Wood Element had a more direct and obvious defense against thunder than other elements.
Lu Qingshan looked at the ground that was filled with thunder arcs, and his heart trembled slightly.
Thunder was originally a symbol of destruction.
However, he could sense a rich life force seeping out from the land that was covered by lightning. The degree of its vigor was extremely shocking.
"There's such a strong vitality in thunder …" Lu Qingshan's eyes revealed a strange light.
"Rumble!"
The sound of thunder was deafening.
Four or five steps in front of him, a bolt of lightning struck down, blinding to the eyes.
Under this bolt of lightning, the thunder pool on the ground was like a lake disturbed by a pebble. Waves rose in all directions and exploded toward Lu Qingshan.
Waves of crackling sounds rose and fell, and countless sparks flew in all directions. The power of thunder contained in it made Lu Qingshan's expression change.
Great Thunder Explosion!
This was his first time encountering a Thunder Explosion.
Immediately, Lu Qingshan activated the Green Wood Bead with all his might.
Green light rippled and sparkled, protecting him like a curtain of water.
At this moment, the dense thunder arcs' aura suddenly rose, and like a thunderbolt, they smashed onto the outermost layer of lightning protection armor he used to protect himself.
Countless weak thunder arcs were already attached to the armor.
This thunderbolt seemed to have detonated a bomb. A huge net-shaped thunder ball suddenly condensed, and then when its aura reached its peak, it exploded with a bang.
"Boom!"
The lightning protection armor, which was only a Spiritual Artifact, could not withstand such a huge power of thunder. It was instantly blown to smithereens.
The remaining power of the thunder ball's explosion did not diminish, and continued to bombard the Green Wood Spiritual Light emitted by the Green Wood Bead.
Fortunately, you get what you pay for. This Middle-grade Earth Artifact Green Wood Bead could still withstand the power of the Thunder Explosion.
However, Lu Qingshan had already sensed that with the current power of thunder, even the Green Wood Bead would not be able to withstand it for long.
However, this was not what he was most concerned about at this moment.
This was because he realized that this so-called irregular lightning eruption … actually had a sign.
Just as the thunder was raging, the vitality in the ground was similarly much stronger!
"The might of this lightning is actually related to life force. The stronger the life force, the more violent the lightning …" Lu Qingshan muttered. "However, the strength of this life force fluctuates continuously. What is it that affects it?"
This Thunder Forbidden Zone became more and more mysterious.
Lu Qingshan originally thought that it was just a place that nurtured the Thunder Fruit. Now, it seemed that it was far from being that simple.
As expected, if one did not participate in it personally, the information obtained through hearsay would always only be the tip of the iceberg.
Lu Qingshan thought to himself.
In the background introduction of the mission in his previous life, other than the fact that the Thunder Fruit caused the Great Demon to fight to the death and caused the Blood Calamity, there was nothing else mentioned.
From the looks of it, this mission should also contain a hidden plot line.
Lu Qingshan did not choose to retreat. Seeing the vast expanse of thunder and lightning swimming in front of him with terrifying power, he had a thought. He took out a set of twelve Formation Flag Artifacts from his Storage Ring.
With a slight flick of his finger, twelve small Formation Flags flew out and spun around him.
The thunderbolts that were constantly smashing down seemed to have hit an iron wall. They crashed into the array formed by the array flags and immediately disappeared.
The Wuxu Spirit Formation was an excellent Defensive Formation.
With the help of the Formation Flag Artifact and the Green Wood Bead, Lu Qingshan withstood the power of the thunder and continued to move forward.
Forty-five minutes later.
Lu Qingshan's heart was slightly moved.
This was because he sensed that the dense life force that had abruptly risen from the ground had suddenly vanished at this moment, returning to its previous state.
That was to say, the tyrannical thunder was finally going to calm down.
Sure enough, at the moment when the vitality disappeared, the vast expanse of thunder and lightning also dimmed and its power decreased sharply.
Lu Qingshan breathed a sigh of relief.
This time, the thunder tide outbreak only lasted for forty-five minutes. His luck was good.
The bottom line he left for himself was that once the spiritual power in his body was consumed more than forty percent, he would immediately return.
If the thunder continued to be so fierce, he would soon choose to give up.
Lu Qingshan took out a spiritual energy recovery elixir from his Storage Ring and took it. He maintained his state and did not stop walking down the canyon crack.
He did not know how deep this thunder forbidden area was or where the Acquired Thunder came from. Now, he could only take one step at a time.
In the end, if he really could not do it, he still had a last helpless choice.
Give up this Thunder-Generating Fruit, turn back and send the news of this Thunder-Generating Fruit back to the Sword Sect and let the great sword cultivators in the sect come to get it.
The value of the Thunder-Generating Fruit, even if it was only an immature one, was enough to make the great sword cultivators of the Sword Sect come to get it!
But at that time, this Thunder-Generating Fruit would have nothing to do with him. At most, he would be rewarded with some spirit stones as a consolation.
…
After walking in the Thunder God Pool for another hour, Lu Qingshan's eyes suddenly flashed. He carefully and carefully looked in front of him.
In the ground in front of him, he found a subtle and unusual fluctuation of vitality — hidden under the soil and among the violent thunder snakes, it was faintly discernible.
If he had not been quite sensitive to vitality after comprehending the Immortality True Meaning, he would not have found it.
