The Thunder God Novel - Chapter 27
Chapter 27 Lei Bao Snow (1)
The three members of XinFeng’s family were trekking through the wilderness in search of the thunderstorm.
At the beginning of the cold season, this strange weather often broke out. It was thundering and snowing. This was the so-called Lei Bao snow. Lei Xingfeng had experienced this kind of weather before. After all, it had experienced several cold seasons when it came to this world.
Lei Xingfeng hid Lei Xing Yao in Lei Xing’s basket. She wrapped her body in thick fur, She only revealed a small head with a big fur hat on it. Her two small hands were stuck in Lei Xingfeng’s neck to keep warm. She looked very happy and kept asking questions. She had lived in Huya Castle since birth and had never left Huya Castle. Once she entered the wilderness, there would be too many things that made her curious.
Elder Thunder cleared the way ahead.
The reason why there were no hunters in the cold season, The first was that the weather was extremely cold, and the second was that it was extremely easy to get lost in the wilderness. When the surroundings were covered in snow, there were no experienced hunters, so getting lost was almost certain. The third was that wild beasts in the cold season were extremely ferocious. Because hunting was not easy, most ferocious wild beasts were hungry. Even the most powerful hunters were unwilling to provoke hungry wild beasts.
Most importantly, in the cold season, no one knew when the snowstorm would start. That kind of snowstorm was very difficult for humans to resist. Whether it was getting lost or cold, for a hunter, it was the path to death.
Therefore, in the cold season, unless there was no food at home, the hunters would absolutely not come out to hunt. Even if they came out to hunt, they would only dare to hunt near the human settlements.
Lei Bao tied a rope around his waist. The other end was tied to XinFeng’s waist. Even if the two of them were very strong, they still needed a rope to support them. Once they were separated in the snowstorm, the old man Lei Bao would definitely be fine. However, XinFeng and XinYao were not necessarily the same. Whether it was experience or experience, the two of them were much weaker. For safety’s sake, the old man still used a rope to connect the two of them.
Blizzard might not have lightning, but the old man looked for lightning based on his senses.
The journey was extremely arduous, Lei Xingfeng covered his nose and mouth with a piece of fur, revealing only a pair of eyes. In his previous life, he knew that walking in the snow could easily hurt his eyes. It was snow blindness. There were no sunglasses in this world, but after cultivating Lunli, it shouldn’t be a problem. Lei Xing Yao’s head was almost wrapped in a big leather hat, and her eyes were also covered with long fur.
XinFeng walked deeply and shallowly, whispering to XinYao.
“Yaoyao, don’t stare at the snow. Your eyes will hurt.”
Lei Xing Yao smiled and said, “No way, I’m looking through my long hair … My eyes don’t hurt. Big brother, where are we going?”
XinFeng said, “I don’t know either. Follow Grandpa, Grandpa knows.”
Lei Xing Yao said, “Big brother, are you tired?”
XinFeng’s heart surged with warmth. The little girl was very caring. He said, “I’m not tired. Haha, I can’t stop this path.”
The old man shook the rope forcefully. The Lei Xing Summit intent immediately quickened its pace. Soon, it arrived behind the old man and said, “Grandpa, what’s wrong?”
“Let’s take a rest. It’s getting dark. I’m here to find a place to spend the night. You stay here with Yao Yao and don’t move. Don’t go away. I’ll be right there.”
The old man untied the rope around his waist and disappeared into the snow with a flash of his steel spear.
Lei Xingfeng slowly sat down. He did not put down the basket, but continued to carry it. He said, “It’s getting dark, and the ground is still so bright. Haha, Yaoyao, are you afraid?” At this time, the snow had already lessened. He could see that more than a dozen meters away, relying on the wheel power he cultivated, he could clearly feel the movement within a radius of several hundred meters. It was almost impossible for a wild beast to sneak attack.
About ten minutes later, the old man came back and said, “I found an ancient tree. Let’s go.”
The so-called ancient trees were extremely large trees. There were quite a few of these trees in the wilderness. Generally speaking, an ancient tree had quite a few huge tree holes. They were habitats for hunters and wild beasts, especially those wild beasts that liked trees, such as the Great Leopard and Snow Leopard.
This was a cave of about six to seven square meters. The entrance was not big. XinFeng was very satisfied when he entered. He quickly put down the basket, took out the thick animal hide, and placed it on the ground. Then he carried XinYao out and said, “YaoYao, move your hands and feet, isn’t it cold?”
Xinyao smiled and said, “It’s not cold. I’ve always been warm.” After saying that, she moved her body for a while before sitting on the hide. XinFeng took out a long-haired hide and draped it over her body.
The old man stood at the entrance of the cave and stared at the sky. After a long time, he sighed and said, “It has been six days, but we still haven’t found the snow area in Lei Bao. I’ll rest here today. I’ll go find some dried wood.” As he spoke, he took out a bronze pan from the Lunzang Space, a packet of marinated beef, and a small packet of dried mushrooms and dried fruits.
XinFeng nodded and said, “I’ll go find some hard wooden sticks.” He then said to Xinyao, “Yaoyao, wait here. If you are in danger, play the horn!”
“Alright,” said Lei Xing Yao.
Lei Xingfeng didn’t dare to go far. He searched for branches on the giant tree and used his dagger to cut down five or six branches the thickness of duck eggs. He quickly returned to the tree hole.
After cutting off the branches of the tree, she quickly made a wooden rack and hung up the bronze pan. Then, she carried some snow and put it into the pan. Only then did she begin to deal with the wild beef. Xinyao bit her finger and stared at the meat in the pan. In fact, she was already very hungry, but she refused to say anything and waited patiently.
The old man brought a pile of dead wood. The thick wood was released from the Lunzang Space. The old man casually sliced it, causing the barrel-thick dead wood to immediately break apart. After several successive slashes, the four-meter-long dead wood was cut into several pieces, erecting the dead wood. The old man still stretched out a finger and casually sliced it horizontally, causing piles of square wooden sticks to appear one by one.
Lei Xingfeng was so shocked that her eyes almost popped out. This was too exaggerated. She never knew that Lun Li could actually be used like this. Lei Xing Yao applauded and said, “Grandpa is so powerful!”
The old man said, “This is nothing. It’s just the use of wheel power. You can do it, too. It’s recorded in the Star Python Record.”
Lei Xingfeng nodded and said, “Well, I haven’t seen the record yet.”
The old man suddenly smiled and said, “I found a good thing. Haha, your luck is not bad.” As he spoke, he took out two scarlet fruits the size of walnuts.
Lei Xingfeng took it and said, “What fruit is it?”
The old man said, “The Blood Fruit, also known as the Big Snow Fruit, grows only in a blizzard. When the blizzard ends, the fruit falls into the soil.”
Lei Xingfeng said, “Grandpa, what’s so special about this fruit?”
The old man said, “Yes, it can relax your muscles and promote your blood circulation, and enhance your cold resistance.”
XinFeng said, “Has Grandpa eaten yet?”
The old man said, “It’s useless for me to eat. Have you eaten? The weather is too cold.”
Lei Xingfeng nodded and handed the Blood Fruit to Lei Xing Yao, saying, “Yao Yao, eat it.”
The old man said, “One for each person. It’s useless to eat more of this stuff.”
XinFeng and XinYao ate one by one, and a warm feeling immediately surged up. It felt very comfortable.
Lei Xing Yao smacked her lips and said, “It’s delicious.”
The old man smiled and said, “Of course it’s delicious. However, this thing is too rare. It should be ripe to the point of falling. The time is too short. If it weren’t for the coincidence, I wouldn’t be able to see it. I’m lucky. Feng, you can start a fire with Thunder Wheel Force.”
Lei Xingfeng knew this skill. He picked up a withered wood, closed his hands, and rubbed it hard. The wooden stick instantly shattered into threads. The lightning arcs on his fingertips ignited the wooden threads in an instant, and he quickly put the wooden stick up. Soon, flames rose up.
In a moment, the entire tree hole was as warm as spring.
He quickly cut the bacon into small pieces and put some snow into the bronze pan. Only then did he close the lid of the pan and Lei Xingfeng concentrate on the fire.
XinFeng put the dried fruits and mushrooms in. A fragrance mixed with meat floated out. XinYao couldn’t help but swallow a mouthful of saliva and let out a rumble. XinFeng touched her head and said, “It’s almost ready.” Since there was enough salt in the bacon, he didn’t need to add salt.
XinFeng took out three pairs of chopsticks and three wooden bowls and handed them to the old man and XinYao.
The bronze pan was very big, with a small mouth and a deep stomach. The three of them stuttered meat and drank thick soup. Soon, sweat broke out on their heads. It was only about ten minutes. Xinyao lay on the hide and rubbed her stomach. She looked extremely satisfied, making the old man and Xinfeng laugh.
The old man sighed in his heart. After he was seriously injured, he brought the two little fellows with him. He often didn’t even have enough to eat. It was really sad to think about it. However, this time, the old injury had basically recovered thanks to the tricks Lei Xingfeng had discovered. As long as he underwent a few more baptisms of lightning, he was confident that he would reach the peak of his former self. He was even confident that he could take a step further.
Once he fully recovered, the sea and sky would be vast. The two children would no longer suffer any harm or pain. He believed that relying on his own strength, he would be able to support the sky. However, he had forgotten that he was not an ordinary person. Instead, he was a ferocious great devil with enemies all over the world. Originally, he was still alone, but now he was bringing two children with him.
When the old man understood, the few of them were all involved. This was the last words.
After dinner, the three of them were wrapped in thick beast hides and slept. Lei Xing Yao directly arched into Lei Xingfeng’s arms. That was the warmest place.
In the middle of the night, a thunderclap rolled past. The old man jumped up in surprise. XinFeng and XinYao were both woken up by the thunderclap. XinFeng said, “Thunderstorm?”
The old man laughed loudly and said, “That’s right. Good luck. Haha, Feng, you stay here and take care of Yao Yao. I’ll be back soon.”
“Be careful,” said Lei Xingfeng.
Xinyao hugged XinFeng and sleepily said, “Big brother, sleepy” XinFeng said, “Sleep, sleep.”
The old man carried the steel spear out of the hole in the tree. He did not go anywhere else, but climbed up the giant tree.
