The Thunder God Novel - Chapter 496
Chapter 496 Long Eyebrows (Lower)
Actually, this scene was not bad for low-and middle-level cultivators, but it was a fatal temptation for cultivators above the Heavenly Monarch level. Staying where they were, they could no longer find a way forward. Only now did they understand that they were too far off.
Wu Yang sighed and said, “Don’t think too much. I don’t know what’s waiting for us on the other side.”
Gao Ye sighed even more and said, “Let’s not talk about the other side. I don’t know how long this road will take. I’m worried about whether there’s enough food left.”
Lei Xingfeng said, “Look how far away you are. If you only have a hundred days, you can still do it. It will be troublesome if you continue to grow any longer.”
“If you don’t care about these people, the food is still enough,” said Gao Ye.
Similar worries spread amongst cultivators. Everyone felt that their preparations were too hasty. They didn’t know what to do when they reached this point.
Lei Xingfeng shook his head. At present, there was still plenty of food. He had always been in good control. Everyone didn’t eat much. Moreover, cultivators were quite capable of starving. If they were forced into a hurry, they wouldn’t starve to death even if they didn’t eat for ten days and a half months.
Therefore, there was no need to worry too much for the time being. Unfortunately, they could not enter the Jingzhi Realm. The restrictions here were simply too strong. Even Lunzang Space would be compressed. As for the secret door, it was impossible to open it. Apart from walking honestly, there was really no way to escape.
From giving out food three times a day, Send food only once a day, Moreover, the numbers were getting smaller and smaller. Everyone felt that the situation was grim. However, at this time, there was no one to complain about, nor could they complain about it. Even if Lei Xingfeng had given them too little food, everyone knew that a Heavenly Lord Patriarch did not need to take care of them at all. Furthermore, he was not a member of his own secret sect. It could be said that it was extremely rare for him to be able to do so.
After crossing the ribbon, it was indeed another steep slope. According to Lei Xingfeng’s estimation, it was also about 60 degrees. It was much easier to go down. As long as the speed was controlled, there would be no problem. Unlike up, it took very little time to go down. In less than a day, all of them would slide to the end.
Everyone chuckled. It was a rare occasion for them to be happy.
… … … … …
After another hundred days, the team of the secret sect had gone through several dangers. They were truly seriously injured and killed. Ordinary people would not have survived without the protection of a Heavenly Lord. However, there were also a few Heavenly Lords. Furthermore, they were all extremely old. Even if they had relatives, they had been separated by countless generations. Therefore, ordinary people were basically dead.
Low-level cultivators also suffered heavy casualties. Apart from the direct descendants of the secret sect and extremely talented cultivators, only the ancestors of the secret sect would be able to help them. The rest of them were naturally eliminated and died one after another.
Lei Xingfeng’s team was no exception. In the past 100 days, only half of the original 400-500 people were left. Less than 300 people were left. Even Celestial Monarchs and Lord might have some Daoist Priests with seven rings or more. As for the people Lazi had brought with him, they were basically dead. There was no way they could be saved.
Along the way, the entire team was scattered, and cultivators struggled forward one by one.
More and more troops were running out of food, and Lei Xingfeng didn’t have much food left in his hands. If not for so many people dying on the team, his grain reserves would probably have been empty. It was because nearly half of them had died, and the reserves he, Wu Yang, Lei Bao, and Gao Ye had left behind were still left.
The food distribution extended from once a day to once every two days. Now, it was distributed once every three days. Even he himself was the same. It was not enough to eat once every three days. The four Heavenly Monarchs did not eat ordinary food. Instead, they ate the meat of the Venus Beast. Although it was small, the energy contained in the meat was different.
Even the most optimistic people were filled with doubts.
The information before and after had been largely interrupted, There was no news from the front, There was no news from behind, Every naturally formed team had fewer and fewer people. Originally, perhaps a few thousand teams would split into a dozen teams after a few dangers. Then, they would split into several dozen teams. When they reached this point, there were very few teams of a hundred people. Generally, a slightly larger team consisted of dozens of people, and a smaller team consisted of seven or eight people.
Lei Xingfeng’s team was more conspicuous and eye-catching. Even though there were dishes on their faces, they still had the strength to continue walking.
Without ordinary people and low-level disciples, the speed of these cultivators increased. The distance they traveled in a day was greatly increased. Especially Lei Xingfeng’s team, which had already surpassed most of the teams from the secret sects, was at the forefront of the team. In front of them was the elite team led by Patriarch Daolord.
Even the Daolord Ancestor began to give up most of the people. They only brought the essence of their secret sect with them. Apart from experts above Lord, they were also the disciples with the best talent. Furthermore, there were special people in charge of their safety. They had no time to care about other cultivators.
If possible, these Daolord Patriarchs didn’t want to give up on their team. However, even Daolord Patriarchs didn’t have much hope at this point. They could only protect their own elite members in order to escape and rise again.
Lei Xingfeng, Wu Yang, Lei Bao and Gao Ye walked in front, followed by Lord, followed by the other Daoists in the team. Even if they were not completely out of food, they still had some cohesion. However, many Daoist level cultivators were already exhausted. They struggled to follow them, and as long as they were still in the team, they had a chance of leaving alive.
Lei Xingfeng tried to communicate with the Mirror Realm countless times, but none of them succeeded. As for the Lun Tsang space, it was no longer shrinking. However, the food and water stored in it were also much less. The entire Lun Tsang space was empty.
Many cultivators fell down while walking, unable to get up anymore. They died on the road like this. Once a strong wind blew, their corpses would be blown away.
No one treated him, because he didn’t know when he would fall.
The same goes for Lei Xingfeng’s team. If they fall, they fall. No one complains and no one goes to save them. Unless you have very good friends or relatives. For example, if the hammer is about to fall, the little hammer will definitely not give up. However, there are not many relationships like this.
This was an extremely cruel and natural elimination. They walked all the way, eliminating all the way. By the time Lei Xingfeng gave the order to rest, there were usually seven or eight or a dozen people missing from the team. This was especially true in recent days.
Today, there were another 17 people missing from the team. Lei Xingfeng quickly activated the defenses of the pillars. He was already very skilled in this aspect. Even if the others were stronger than him, they would not be able to activate the defensive restrictions of the pillars. This thing had saved most of the people in the team before.
After activating the defenses of the three pillars, these people lay on the ground and slept. There were no alert people. At this time, who would have the strength to fight?
When he woke up, he got up and continued forward. Three more people lay on the ground and quietly passed away in his sleep.
Everyone was numb. They stood up and drank some water before continuing forward.
Lei Xingfeng took a few steps and suddenly stopped. “Wait a minute!” He said.
Everyone’s eyes were filled with anticipation. The reason they wanted Lei Xingfeng to stop was to give them some food. Even if it was a small piece of meat or a flour cake, they heard Lei Xingfeng ask, “Any of you … feel that Lunzang Space is a little bigger?”
Everyone immediately checked. After a while, everyone told them how they felt. Lunzang Space had indeed grown a little bigger.
Their brains were a little unwieldy. Many people stared at Lei Xingfeng blankly, not understanding what he meant.
“This means we’re at the end of the bridge,” Lei Xingfeng said coolly. “If Lunzang Space recovers, then we’re out!”
Wu Yang and Lei Bao nodded at the same time. Gao Ye gently patted his forehead and said, “That’s right, it seems like that.”
No one cheered. However, many people shed tears silently. This path was too difficult. The journey was torturous and dangerous. Those who could walk here were all people with extremely strong willpower. Seeing that there was hope of escaping from their sleepiness, everyone’s hearts were filled with mixed emotions. They were filled with emotions.
“Don’t be happy,” said Lei Xingfeng. “It shouldn’t be a short journey. We shouldn’t be able to get out of here without a few dozen days! So, don’t fall on the last leg of the journey!”
Everyone understood in their hearts that at this point, all of them were extremely weak. Due to the lack of food, the water was also very tense. Everyone was squeezing their potential. Once their potential was squeezed clean, there was no way to replenish it. Even if he was a cultivator, it was very likely that he would die silently.
Lei Xingfeng calculated his stock of food and found that it should be enough. As the number of people decreased, the food was a little more.
“I’ll give you some extra food today. Not much. Each of us has a rice ball, a dough cake and a piece of meat.”
Immediately, everyone cheered powerlessly. It wasn’t that they didn’t want to cheer loudly, they really didn’t have the strength.
Some people hurriedly put the food into their mouths, while others put it into Lunzang Space solemnly. Although there wasn’t much food, it could really save their lives at the critical moment.
After distributing the food, Lei Xingfeng said, “Continue walking. If you take one more step, you’ll have a better chance of escaping.”
Everyone silently followed Lei Xingfeng’s footsteps, and a group of people continued to walk forward.
Half a day later, Lei Xingfeng and the others discovered that there were many people standing on the road, their eyes desperately staring ahead.
Lei Xingfeng said, “Who wants to know what’s going on up ahead?”
Bai Yurun said, “I will go with Big Sister Qing.” She no longer looked delicate. Her voice was hoarse. Because of the lack of water, she had never washed her face like everyone else. Her clothes were also extremely dirty. She left behind two sets of replacement clothes, and the rest had been cleaned up earlier.
Lei Xingfeng nodded and said, “Be careful not to clash.”
Bai Yurun forced a smile and said, “Alright, I know …”
Moments later, Bai Yurun and An Ruqing returned to report the news they had heard.
