Yun Ji's reaction was fast. Even though the lightning's target wasn't her, she still dodged instinctively.
Even though she was a Nascent Soul Snake Demon, she was still naturally afraid of lightning. Her first reaction was to fly away when the lightning struck.
Yuan Gang's reaction wasn't slow either. He pounced sideways and missed the pagoda. Regardless of whether he could dodge it or not, he still had to dodge the lightning.
At least he had time to dodge because the lightning's target wasn't him. A certain someone couldn't even dodge if he wanted to.
The moment Yuan Gang smashed into the waist of the pagoda, he flipped his arm and grabbed onto the upper step. Then, he rolled all the way down and finally grabbed onto the upper step. He steadied himself and raised his head to look up. He was instantly stunned.
He saw Niu Youdao's face beyond recognition. His entire body was charred black. He stood on one leg and raised his arms slightly. He was on the verge of collapsing. It felt like his life was hanging by a thread as he stood on the edge of the pagoda. His last trace of consciousness seemed to be trying to stabilize himself.
Niu Youdao indeed wanted to stabilize his body, but his entire body felt like it was on fire, both inside and out. He wanted to put down his other foot to stabilize himself, but his body didn't listen to him. His thigh didn't listen to him either.
He wanted to cast a spell to stabilize himself, to cast a spell to dispel and suppress the discomfort in his body. However, there seemed to be electricity coursing through his body, making it hard for him to move.
Don't fall! Don't fall! Steady!
That was what he was thinking in his heart, but he gradually lost his balance and fell head first.
Seeing Niu Youdao fall to the other side of the "pyramid" as if he was dead, Yuan Gang didn't know whether he was alive or dead. His eyes were already about to pop out. He roared in sorrow, "Daoye!"
He leaped up and sprinted along the steps to the other side to save him.
Yun Ji, who was floating in the air, also saw Niu Youdao fall head first. She wanted to rush over to save him, but she subconsciously looked up at the sky. She was a little afraid, worried that the lightning would strike again.
Strangely, after the lightning, there was no more thunder in the sky. The rolling dark clouds also quickly dissipated.
Calming himself down, he looked down again and saw that Niu Youdao had almost reached the bottom of the cliff. Due to the impact of his fall, he was thrown into the air.
Yuan Gang, who had rushed down, pounced forward and hugged Niu Youdao in midair, preventing Niu Youdao from crashing onto the steps again. Yuan Gang hugged Niu Youdao and pounced forward, both of them crashing into the desert. When they landed, Yuan Gang hugged Niu Youdao and used the momentum to roll.
The corner of Yun Ji's mouth twitched. With a swoosh, she flashed over and landed beside the two of them. She saw that the mask on Niu Youdao's face had already been blown away.
Let's not talk about how the dark-skinned man was struck by the lightning, but he must have suffered quite a lot when he rolled down. His forehead was full of bumps, his mouth and nose were bleeding, his eyes were a little dull, and his chest was twitching when it rose and fell.
Yuan Gang laid Niu Youdao down and wiped the blood and sand off his face. He said anxiously, "Daoye! Daoye! How are you? "He suddenly raised his head and yelled at Yun Ji," Hurry up and save him! "
There was one thing he had to admit. In terms of saving people, he was definitely not as good as these people with transcendence energy and cultivation.
Yun Ji quickly knelt down and invoked her arts to check on Niu Youdao's condition. After checking, she hurriedly took out a wax pill and crushed it. A Tianji Pill was stuffed into Niu Youdao's mouth, and she invoked her arts to force it into Niu Youdao's stomach. She then used her arts to refine it and catalyze the medicinal effects.
Guan Fangyi was the one who had given her the Tianji Pills. She had given her quite a few of them. There was no other way. Niu Youdao had obtained quite a few Tianji Pills from the Spirit Sect, and the core members would definitely have some to use in case of emergencies.
"How is he? How is he? "Yuan Gang looked at her and asked anxiously.
To him, one of the main reasons why Daoye came here was to ensure his safety. If Daoye were to die here, he would never be able to forgive himself for the rest of his life.
He hated himself. He hated himself for not pushing Daoye away when the lightning struck him. Why did he only care about dodging?
Of course, the reason why he dodged was because he thought that Daoye would have reacted faster than him and would have dodged faster. So why didn't he dodge?
Little did he know that Niu Youdao wanted to dodge, but the lightning was heading straight for him. In a flash, it had already reached him. It was so fast that he couldn't dodge it even if he wanted to.
Actually, Niu Youdao's reflexes were fast enough. His body had drifted away and his feet had already left the ground. However, the lightning didn't move in a straight line. It actually curved around him and was able to hit him. The force and power of the lightning was ferocious enough. The lightning knocked him back into the ground, as though it was pressing him back down. Hence, he ended up like this.
Yun Ji exhaled, "Don't worry. If it was an ordinary person, this lightning strike would have been fatal. However, against his protective cultivation, it wasn't fatal. It only injured him. Luckily, the power of this lightning strike wasn't that strong. "
Hearing her words, Yuan Gang finally heaved a sigh of relief. He knelt on the sand and stared at Niu Youdao, who was being treated.
Under the treatment of Yun Ji's great cultivation, Niu Youdao's spasms disappeared. He seemed to have regained his senses and his unfocused gaze gradually regained its vigor.
His eyes moved. When he saw the two people in front of him, he gasped, "Where … am I?" He hadn't fully recovered from his fugue state. It was as though he didn't know how long he had been unconscious.
Yuan Gang immediately moved his body to get out of his obstructed vision, allowing him to see the "pyramid" behind him.
Niu Youdao couldn't help but roll his eyes when he saw this building. "Monkey, did we do too many immoral things in our previous lives to dig up someone's ancestral grave? That's why we're being struck by lightning."
What past lives? What digging up ancestral graves? Yun Ji didn't understand what he was talking about. She thought he was talking nonsense because his mind wasn't clear.
Yuan Gang knelt in front of him and told him the truth, "Daoye, it shouldn't have anything to do with it." He turned to look at Tower, "It should be that there's something strange about this thing. You were struck by lightning when you hit it."
Niu Youdao sighed, "Sigh, I feel like my whole body is falling apart. It's like I was roasted on fire."
Yun Ji said, "Perhaps this is the feeling of being struck by lightning. Try and see if your mana can circulate on its own."
Niu Youdao closed his eyes. After a while, he seemed to feel something and opened his eyes. "Hmm."
Yun Ji helped him to sit up. After helping him to sit cross-legged, she withdrew her hand and reached out to stop Yuan Gang, who wanted to help him up. "He's already taken the Tianji Pill. Let him use his own arts to guide the effects of the pill. He'll recover faster. Don't disturb him."
Niu Youdao had already entered a state of oblivion with his eyes closed again. He had no energy to care about anything else.
Yun Ji and Yuan Gang stood guard at the side. Occasionally, they would look up at the sky. They noticed that the dark clouds came and went quickly. In the blink of an eye, the sky was clear again. It was as though nothing had happened.
Occasionally, they would look at the "pyramid" again. They couldn't figure out what was going on. Niu Youdao's rash action and getting struck by lightning was a warning. The two of them didn't dare to climb up the tower anymore. They didn't dare to go any closer.
After the dark clouds and thunder, the whole desert fell into a dead silence. The sand scorpions that were fighting seemed to be scared out of their wits. None of them came out again.
The sky finally darkened. After the scorching heat in the desert receded, it gradually became bone-chilling cold.
In this regard, the three of them could bear it. Although Yuan Gang didn't have much cultivation, his body was very sturdy and full of vigor. He had no problem resisting the cold.
Yun Ji also sat cross-legged and meditated. After drilling underground for a long time, her mana was quite depleted.
Yuan Gang was left on high alert. This was the time when Daoye was weak. He didn't dare to relax for even a moment.
As for Niu Youdao, he seemed to have really forgotten himself.
The night here was also very long. After Yun Ji got up under the starry sky, Niu Youdao still hadn't woken up. She signaled Yuan Gang to take a break and let her stay on guard.
However, Yuan Gang shook his head and refused. He still stayed by Niu Youdao's side and stayed on high alert.
Yun Ji seemed to be able to feel that even she was within Yuan Gang's range of vigilance.
In this regard, she couldn't help but look at him again. She had already seen it. This time, she just got another proof. Although this red-faced man had a personality, she had to admit that no one in the whole of Thatched Cottage Villa was more loyal to Niu Youdao than he was.
He could sense that Niu Youdao's life was equivalent to his life. In fact, Niu Youdao's life was even more important than Yuan Gang's. For the sake of Niu Youdao's life, this red-faced man was willing to sacrifice his own life.
She couldn't help but sigh. No wonder a rational person like Niu Youdao could let go of this red-faced man's personality and take a huge risk for him. She had followed by Niu Youdao's side and personally witnessed Niu Youdao's ruthlessness. It could be said that he was cold-blooded.
For example, no matter how moved Shang Shuqing was, it was hard to sway his decision.
For example, no matter how Hong Niang begged, he wouldn't save Ximen Qing Kong.
When the sky started to brighten, Niu Youdao suddenly let out a breath. He stretched out his arms and retracted his Great Circulatory Circle back into his dantian. His eyes slowly opened. His gaze regained its vigor, causing the two people beside him to look at him.
Niu Youdao stood up facing the morning light. Yuan Gang immediately reached out to support him. He asked with concern, "Daoye, are you alright?"
"It would be strange if I was alright. My body is burning in pain, but I won't die." Niu Youdao, who stood up, pushed him away. He raised his hand and tore off a thin layer of dead skin from his face.
The two people discovered that his skin was full of dead skin, as if he was about to shed his skin.
Niu Youdao invoked his arts and shook his body. The dead skin on his face flew away. His sleeves, collar, and all the holes in his clothes were blown out like snowflakes.
There were many cuts on his body. His clothes were already tattered. He was struck by lightning.
The dignified Daoye of Thatched Cottage Villa looked like a beggar at this moment.
Yun Ji cast her arts to sweep away the flying dirty things. She turned around and stared blankly at Niu Youdao for a moment. She realized that Niu Youdao was comparable to Yuan Gang now. It seemed like his entire body had turned red, and his hair was curled, looking very strange.
Realizing that the two people were looking at him strangely, Niu Youdao asked, "What are you looking at? What's wrong? "
"Nothing." The two people shook their heads.
Niu Youdao turned to look at the pyramid. His eyes flickered as he pondered for a while.
Yuan Gang understood him very well. He knew that this Daoye's curiosity was still there. Whenever he encountered something strange, this Daoye would always have the desire to explore.
As expected, Niu Youdao raised his head to look at the sky again. He suddenly said to Yun Ji, "Your cultivation is slightly higher. Go and try hitting it again."
"…" Yun Ji stilled. Then, she hurriedly refused, "What's the use of my higher cultivation? No matter how high my cultivation is, I can't outrun the speed of lightning. The demons in the mountains are naturally afraid of lightning tribulations. Little demons are no exception. "She was very humble. It meant that she didn't dare to go.
Niu Youdao didn't force her. He glanced at Yuan Gang and gestured with his head. "You go!"
"Ah!" Yuan Gang was shocked. "Daoye, there's no need to seek trouble for yourself, is there?"
Niu Youdao immediately became a little angry. "I told you to go, so go. What's with the nonsense!"
