The Thunder God Novel - Chapter 169

Chapter 169 The Lord Song Qiao (1)
Lei Xingfeng stood up abruptly and said, “Where is it? Where is it?” His heart was beating wildly. This was because he was frightened. As soon as the hammer said how frightening the extreme cold was, such a terrifying cracking sound could immediately be heard. It was impossible to say that he was not afraid.

Xin Zhaolun also stood up. He immediately saw the ice wall behind Lei Xingfeng and pointed at it.

Lei Xingfeng shouted, “Here!” Instantly, everyone who was still cultivating in the surroundings woke up, unable to continue cultivating.

Feng Ying said, “What’s wrong?”

Tiger Addict immediately jumped up and looked around.

An ice crack extended upwards from the bottom of the back wall, continuously cracking. Everyone became nervous. If the back wall was shattered by the cold, and the extremely cold air poured in, not many people in this room would be able to escape alive.

Xin Zhaolun said, “Bring a thicker animal hide and stick it on!”

Crazy Eagle took out a piece of animal skin from the ground and flew straight to the top of the room. He pasted it on the ice wall. Xin Zhaolun picked up a basin of water and poured it down. XinFeng patted the animal skin and made it stick to the ice wall. Once the water was taken out, it would freeze. It was entirely up to Xin Zhaolun to heat it up.

Although the ice wall was still cracking, a thick layer of animal hide and a layer of ice condensed from water temporarily blocked the extension of the ice cracks.

Lei Xingfeng said, “No, I still need to reinforce it. It’s best to have an ice wall. It’s too terrifying.”

Xin Zhaolun said decisively, “Alright, add another layer of wall! I still have some thin steel here. Let’s attack together and set up a frame first.”

Everyone attacked together. This speed was very fast. In just a moment, a thin steel frame appeared in front of the back wall. This was already the frame of the second wall. As long as something was filled in and poured with water, a new ice wall could be formed.

Everyone stuffed the unused items in the Lun Tang space into the frame. A small frame was filled and a small ice wall was poured with water. Ten minutes later, a new ice wall appeared.

The group of people sat down again. Their faces were pale. They were frozen. Even though there were so many charcoal braziers in the room, the temperature in the room did not rise. Of course, it was much higher than the temperature outside.

XinFeng said, “It’s only the first day. It’s already like this. If it’s more than ten days, we won’t be able to stop it. Even if we have a house, it’s useless.”

The hammer said, “There won’t be more than ten days. At most five days, at least three days. This extreme cold weather will end.”

XinFeng said, “I hope it ends in three days.”

The outer layer of the ice wall still emitted various sounds of ice shattering. The cracking sounds were continuous, causing people to feel extremely uneasy. However, with the second layer of the ice wall, everyone felt much better than before. Just as everyone was slightly relaxed, the outer layer of the ice wall let out a loud crash, causing everyone to look at each other in dismay.

The hammer said, “It’s cracked …” In an instant, the temperature of the room seemed to have dropped.

“It’s fine,” Xin Zhaolun said. “The reason why the two walls can’t hold on outside is because of the strong wind. The ice wall can’t withstand such a strong wind attack.”

Sharp whistling sounds came in. The wind circled between the two layers of ice walls, and the sounds it made were truly ghostly cries and wolf howls.

XinFeng said, “Who discovered this place back then? If this was the first time I came here, who would be able to escape alive if I were to encounter this kind of weather?”

Xin Zhaolun said, “That’s not necessarily the case. Those who can open Mystery Sect must be Lord-level experts, or even more powerful masters. Haha, we haven’t found many of them. There’s no problem escaping. As long as we stay here … contact the locals, we’ll understand the situation here.”

Lei Xingfeng kept putting the oilwood into the charcoal basin. Flames rose, and red light shone on everyone’s faces. Strands of warm aura dispersed the cold slightly.

Boom!

Everyone was shocked. This voice came from the howling sound. It was especially shocking. Lei Xingfeng said, “What’s wrong?”

The hammer said indifferently, “I wonder whose ice house collapsed …”

Lei Xingfeng smiled bitterly and said, “There’s nowhere to run … scary!”

Boom!

This time, everyone stood up, because this sound came from outside. Xin Zhaolun rushed to the door and lifted the curtain to look outside.

Lei Xingfeng also ran to the door. There was no door slab. It was made of three layers of extremely thick animal hide. It could block the cold air, but it could not block the extreme cold air. White mist surged from the other end of the corridor, causing Xin Zhaolun to shout in fear, “Retreat!”

At this moment, a figure emerged from the thick white mist. His entire body was flashing with red light, and he shouted, “Wait for me!”

Xin Zhaolun and Lei Xingfeng retreated. The man had already flashed to the door and shouted, “Get out of the way!”

In an instant, an unparalleled pressure surged over. Xin Zhaolun retreated repeatedly. Lei Xingfeng’s legs softened and he sat down. Xin Zhaolun was shocked, “Lord!”

The man turned around and wiped his hand on the door. A black door was stuck at the door. He shouted, “What are you waiting for? If you don’t want to die, immediately block it!”

The others immediately understood. They hurriedly stuffed the animal hide into the gap between the door panel and the door frame and quickly poured water on it.

The man said, “Come, seal it again with an ice wall!”

Everyone knew that just one door could not withstand the cold. Fortunately, there were many people in the room, Xin Zhaolun also had many materials in reserve, and the door frame occupied a small area. In just a few minutes, another ice wall was erected at the door.

Lei Xingfeng looked up and was speechless. “Why is it you, old man?” He said. This person was the old man from Berserk Lun who had traded with him at the auction.

The old man probably didn’t expect to barge into Lei Xingfeng’s place. He immediately smiled and said, “Little fellow, how is my Wheel of Berserk?”

Lei Xingfeng said, “Didn’t I advance? I can’t use it for now. Oh right, you old man … How did you rush to our place?”

The old man was instantly enraged and said, “I found a bunch of idiots to live in … They were all frozen and collapsed. I don’t know how they built the icehouse. Fortunately, I ran fast, otherwise I would have died with the bunch of idiots.”

Xin Zhaolun said, “Senior, you almost killed all of us!” His heart was filled with rage.

The old man said awkwardly, “It’s fine, I’m here.”

Xin Zhaolun didn’t dare to force him. He was joking. A True Monarch could destroy them all with a backhand. No matter how furious his heart was, he had to suppress it.

XinFeng said, “If that’s the case, then you have to keep us safe.” A single sentence was enough to kill him.

Xin Zhaolun wasn’t stupid either. He immediately understood what Lei Xingfeng meant. It was useless to pursue him now. If he could use him, then it would be worth it.

The old man smiled bitterly and said, “Alright, I owe you. Don’t worry, as long as your room doesn’t collapse by itself, then there won’t be any problems. If anything happens, it’s up to me. I’ll solve it.”

Xin Zhaolun’s expression immediately eased. “Thank you, senior,” he said.

XinFeng said, “Senior, may I have your name?”

The old man said, “What? Do you want to seek revenge from your elders?”

XinFeng was speechless. The old man laughed loudly and appreciated XinFeng’s bitter face. Then, he slowly said, “Song Qiao, True Monarch!”

Everyone present, including Hammer Head and Wild Axe, stood up and said, “Greetings, senior.” Everyone understood this courtesy. They were joking. A Lord, with their status as juniors, could not be overestimated.

Song Qiao smiled and said, “Alright, I owe you a favor. If you have any difficulties in the future, if you can find me, hehe, I can help you once.”

Xin Zhaolun revealed a surprised expression. To him, this promise was absolutely powerful. Even if his master was Lord, he had many things to do. There were some things that he couldn’t trouble his master with. With such a promise, he would at least have another chance. A chance for Lord to make a move. This was truly too precious.

Lei Xingfeng was also happy. Of course, he understood how precious this promise was. He said, “Great, Senior Song, how can we find you if something happens to us?”

This sentence is the key. Even though Song Qiao has made countless promises, you can’t find anyone else. Any promises are nothing.

Immediately, everyone’s eyes were fixed on Song Qiao.

Song Qiao chuckled and said, “Sly little fellow, alright, this is for you!”

A red crystal token was one inch square. XinFeng was puzzled, “What is this?”

Song Qiao said, “Idiot, don’t you even know about the signage?”

XinFeng was stunned. Of course, he knew about the signboard, but he had never seen it before. It was a means of communication between True Monarchs, and True Monarchs did not have such a method.

Song Qiao said, “As long as we are in the same world, the signboard will be able to find me.” He briefly taught him how to use the signage and asked the owner. Lei Xingfeng and the others told him their names. He took out three signage cards, one for Xin Zhaolun, one for Miao Ling, and the rest for Hammer and Wild Axe.

Lei Xingfeng smiled and said, “Hammerhead, the two of you will not leave this place. I guess Senior Song … will rarely come here in the future, right?”

Song Qiao said, “That’s true. I came here for some reason. There’s no point in this place.”

Lei Xingfeng smiled and said, “Look, if Senior Song doesn’t come this time, or if he rarely comes in the future, even if you leave behind a message card, it won’t be of much use. Why don’t you … give it to me?”

Miao Ling hid in Sister Hong’s arms, revealing a small face and muttering, “Junior Brother is so cunning!”

After discussing with Wild Axe for a while, Hammer said, “Alright, Feng, what are you going to trade for?”

XinFeng smiled and said, “What do you want? As long as I have it, there will be no problem.”
