Half a day later, under the leadership of Wang Bugui, Chen Luo and others gradually heard the sound of thunder.
"According to my family's records, it was actually not the sound of thunder, but the sound of explosions made when the power of collapse was absorbed by the Thunder Stone. It's just that the terrain of Zhenlei Valley is special, so it formed such a continuous thundering sound." Wang Bugui explained seriously.
Chen Luo looked from a distance and saw that the Thunder Valley had indeed a special terrain. The tops of the canyons on both sides were almost connected, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. The entrance seemed to be more than a hundred meters wide, but it became narrower as you went inward.
It was like a loudspeaker was embedded in the ground, no wonder it made the thunder sound so violent.
"That river is the Thunder River." Wang Bugui pointed to a stream flowing out of the "Trumpet Canyon" and said, "The deeper you go into the Thunder Valley, the stronger the force of collapse. Brother Chen can Try it from the outside.”
Chen Luo nodded and expressed his gratitude. He looked at the stream. The entire water was purple-black. Explosions were heard constantly at the bottom of the river, and a ball of bubbles exploded on the surface of the water.
Well, it's kind of like boiling poisonous soup.
Chen Luo walked into the Thunder River outside Zhenlei Valley and tested it with his fingers. Suddenly, a cold feeling came from his fingers, making Chen Luo shiver.
"Brother Chen, how are you?"
"Not bad!" Chen Luo smiled bitterly and asked, "Won't this power of collapse also eliminate my power of heaven?"
Ye Dafu was the first to explain: "Brother, you actually have two layers of power on your body now, one is the power of heaven, and the other is the curse of the barbarians. Although the power of heaven has a large range, the blood of the curse is added later, which is quite Yu is covered by the power of heaven."
"So the first thing washed away by this force of collapse should be the Curse of the Wild Sky."
Chen Luo nodded, raised his legs and stepped into the Minglei River. The stream was not deep, probably only reaching Chen Luo's waist, but Chen Luo felt as if he was standing in an ice bucket.
"Brother, you are going down anyway, so you can bring up some thunder stones." Ye Dafu stood on the shore and shouted, "We will consume the power of heaven when we go down."
Chen Luo rolled his eyes at Ye Dafu, but he honestly lowered his head and touched the bottom of the river.
…
"Brother Wu, are we being too aggressive?" A Confucian scholar looked around with some anxiety and asked the Confucian scholar next to him, "After all, Wan Anbo didn't say that some barbarians entered the restricted area in advance, so we regained our strength and moved forward. Exploring the depths?”
The Confucian scholar named Brother Wu shook his head: "Brother Liu, you are too honest. Think about it, with so many people gathered at the entrance, how many crystal demons can you grab? You and I, among the crowd, I’m not outstanding to begin with, so I must find another way now.”
"I carefully analyzed the information Wan Anbo said. He said that fifty barbarians came over and he wiped them all out. In fact, the area here should be considered safe."
"We will take the first step, work together to kill the crystal demon, and regain one point of strength, which will give us an extra advantage."
"You and I don't intend to get involved in the fight for Yunmu. We just want to get more Tiandao Crystals and hand them over to Wenchang Pavilion and Academy. The rest can allow us to continue our studies and advance to the Master Realm."
"One step faster at this time may mean five or even ten years in life. So what's the point of taking some risks?"
"Don't you hear that wealth can be found in danger?"
After listening to the Confucian scholar surnamed Wu finishing his talk, the Confucian scholar surnamed Liu also nodded convincingly and bowed to him: "Thank you, Brother Wu, for teaching me."
The Confucian scholar surnamed Wu laughed, helped the Confucian scholar surnamed Liu, and said: "It is because of Brother Liu's honest character that I can safely take Brother Liu along with me. We need to support each other along the way."
"What Brother Wu said is exactly what I want."
When the two Confucian scholars were expressing sympathy for each other, suddenly a figure in black robe appeared behind them.
"You two, are you going to Zhenlei Valley in this direction?" The voice was hoarse and unpleasant, making people feel uncomfortable all over.
The two Confucian scholars turned around and saw each other dressed in black clothes. They both frowned slightly and were on guard.
Judging from the figure, the opponent is a human race. However, some Confucian scholars have evil intentions. After entering the Bengjie, they have the idea of seizing treasures and killing people. They often hide their figures, but it is a bit surprising to appear in front of them so openly. .
Just as the Confucian scholar surnamed Liu was about to speak, the Confucian scholar surnamed Wu stepped forward first and saluted: "This senior fellow, it is true that we are heading towards Thunder Valley."
He knows the temperament of his friends around him, and when he opens his mouth, he must ask the other person something. But here and now, it is better to do less than to do more. I cannot afford to conflict and avoid it as soon as possible.
The Confucian scholar surnamed Liu naturally knew what his friend meant, so he snorted coldly and stopped talking.
The man in black robe nodded slightly: "Thank you!"
The man in black robe walked past the two of them, and the Confucian scholar surnamed Wu breathed a sigh of relief. The Confucian scholar surnamed Liu was about to complain when he suddenly heard a "buzzing sound" coming from behind.
The two turned around and saw a black "dark cloud" flying out from under the black robe of the man in black robe. Upon closer inspection, they found that they were small insects the size of rice grains.
The little insect was black and shiny, with a mouth that took up two-thirds of its body. There were several rows of sharp teeth in the mouth, and there were two pools on its back. It was flying towards Wu and Liu.
The Confucian scholar surnamed Wu was shocked. The Confucian scholar surnamed Liu reacted quickly. He pulled the opponent and was about to use "Kuai Zai Feng" to escape. Unexpectedly, the insect cloud was so fast that it almost covered the distance between it and the two Confucian students in a blink of an eye. Whistling past them.
In just a few blinks, the cloud of insects flew towards the black-robed man again, leaving only two white bones holding hands and maintaining the form of running away. The white bones were covered with tooth marks...
…
Zhongjing City, Zhenxuansi.
Li Qingzhao walked out of the passage of the Secret Hall with a tired look on his face.
I checked the Book of Gu over and over again, but found nothing.
"Is it a secret method that was re-researched by those insects?" Li Qingzhao had a suspicious look on his face, but the more he thought about it, the more irritated he became, and he planned to take a few sips to wake up.
"Piao Xue Brewing? Barbaric Wind Hunter? Holding the Moon Brewing... It's boring, it's just ordinary stuff, but 'Jie Shengchou' is better..." Li Qingzhao turned over his storage bag, feeling a little unhappy.
"It's a pity that 'Jie Shengchou' was banned by the king of the town. I drank the last bottle in one go." Li Qingzhao smoothed the broken hair in front of his forehead, "Go to Uncle Du and order the next-level one... huh?"
A thought flashed through Li Qingzhao's mind like lightning.
"The next level!"
"Yes, they can't breed the original Gu insect, but they can breed the next-level one!"
"The entire city's population disappeared! Hasty handling methods..."
"Then their goal..."
Li Qingzhao seemed to have thought of something, his figure flickered and disappeared in the Zhenxuansi headquarters in an instant.
…
Thunder Valley.
Chen Luo has collected 700 fist-sized Thunder Stones. He was almost frozen in the Thunder River, but the power of the curse on his body was indeed slowly fading. It was about 70% less than before.
But the remaining 30% has never been reduced.
"Brother, you might want to go upstream. The force of collapse over there is stronger..." Ye Dafu was talking when Chen Luo's expression suddenly changed. Ye Dafu immediately looked at Luo Luo. Finally, Wang Bugui waved his hand, and a purple talisman fell in front of Wang Bugui, instantly forming a Bagua pattern. On the pattern, several flying insects as big as a little finger seemed to hit the obstacle and appeared.
Chen Luo jumped ashore, pulled out Luo Jiutian, and looked ahead. He saw a man in black robe slowly walking towards them, making a hoarse voice and looking at Ye Dafu——
"Taoist disciple?"
Chen Luo looked at the other party and heard in his mind the barbarian begging for mercy in front of him. It was the mysterious man who helped them obtain the power of heaven from the human race and allowed them to enter the inner restricted area in advance.
Ye Dafu took two steps towards Chen Luo and said through a message: "Brother, be careful, it's a Gu sect!"
