The Thunder God Novel - Chapter 497
Chapter 497 Survive In Death (I)
The road ahead was completely blocked, including Patriarch Daojun. There was a path ahead. I don’t know what was going on. As long as one set foot on that path, one would die. Only a defense that was activated by a cultivator above Lord could withstand it. Daoist Master couldn’t do it at all. Most importantly, he didn’t know what was killing them.
The Patriarch tried to pass by. It would take him almost two hours to run this distance, and he had to run with all his might.
Lei Xingfeng said, “Grandmaster, let’s go take a look. Everyone else is waiting here.”
The four Heavenly Monarchs went over.
After walking for half an hour, he saw thousands of people gathered together. It was already rare to see so many people. When he first set off, it could be said that there were mountains and seas of people. Now that he could see hundreds of people together, it was good. He didn’t expect that there were so many people at the front. As expected of the leader of the Patriarch Daojun team.
Actually, after thinking for a moment, it was clear that there were tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of people in Patriarch Daojun, and there was also a lot of food and water prepared. During this period, two thirds of the people, food and water were brutally eliminated. As the number of people decreased, there would be a lot of savings. This ensured the survival of the elites.
Wu Yang quickly found Patriarch Huai Cheng. With a slight understanding of the situation, he knew that the problem was very serious. Lord could barely make it through. A Daoist would definitely not be able to pass. He had to be protected by a Daolord. However, how many Daolords were there? At most, they could only escort two or three people at a time. No matter how many they were, they would not be able to protect them. That was why they were blocked here. As for what kind of thing it was that killed people, they simply couldn’t see it. After several experiments, even if Daoist Master’s defense was fully activated, within a few minutes, he would die a very mysterious death.
Lei Xingfeng also went up. His eyes glowed with silver light, and he immediately saw that no one else could see the situation.
It was as if countless short hairs were blowing into the air, The tiny black threads floated along the road ahead. Strangely enough, these thin black threads were only confined to both sides of the road, and there were far fewer roads in the center. At this time, another experiment began. A nine-ringed Daoist wearing a steel armor tightly wrapped around his entire body and stepped forward.
This fellow also opened up all his defenses and walked forward.
Lei Xingfeng stared at him, the silver light in his eyes protruding a foot long.
Jiuhuan Daoist quickly broke into the place where the thin black silk floated. Lei Xingfeng saw an astonishing scene. The black silk gathered on Jiuhuan Daoist’s body, and more and more of it entered his body in less than a minute. Then, Lei Xingfeng saw that the man’s footsteps became heavier and heavier, and he lost his life in a moment.
Clang!
The man fell to the ground. A Daojun quickly went over and dragged the man back. The steel armor was removed and the man was dead.
Lei Xingfeng removed the thunder and lightning from his eyes. Only then did he see that the man’s face was covered in large black spots.
Patriarch Huai Cheng and the others gathered around and inspected for a long time, but they did not find out how this person died. All of them revealed dejected expressions. This was too shocking.
Everyone in the surroundings, especially Daoist Priests, had ashen faces. Who knew if they would be chosen by the Patriarch as their experimental subjects? If they went up, they would die. Quite a few people would die, and none of them would be able to return alive. What was even more alarming was that they didn’t know what caused their deaths.
Although Lei Xingfeng could see fine black threads, However, he also didn’t understand the reason, nor did he know what this black silk was. He only saw the black silk gather and invade that person’s body. The steel armor on that person’s body and his defense were completely unstoppable, and then he quickly died. He simply didn’t have time to save it, nor did he know how to save it.
All the Patriarchs and Heavenly Monarchs were at a loss. This path was too bizarre. They could pass through Lord and above. The following was going to die.
Lei Xingfeng thought for a moment and said, “Grandpa, open your defenses. Let me see.”
Lei Bao nodded and said, “Well, I’ll go up and give it a try.” As he spoke, he opened his defenses, and countless arcs of lightning leapt from his body. Then, a phantom image of Thousand Leaves Silver appeared, and he stepped forward.
Lei Xingfeng stared at him. He also saw black fluttering, but what surprised Lei Xingfeng was that the black filaments would not gather on Thunderstorm’s body. How could they float like this? It would not be like a real person entering. All the nearby thin black filaments were attracted to him, as if a real person was a giant magnet, and the thin black filaments were like iron wires. How did this difference arise?
Wu Yang said, “How is it?”
Lei Xingfeng smiled bitterly and shook his head. He waved his hand and said, “Grandpa, come back.”
Lei Bao walked back and said, “Do you see anything?”
Lei Xingfeng said, “I don’t understand!” Actually, he did see something, but he really didn’t understand. He didn’t understand at all.
Lei Bao said, “Don’t understand? Don’t understand? This is troublesome.”
Wu Yang said, “Then wait.”
If only those above Lord could pass, then it would mean that all below Daoist Master would be exterminated. This great migration would be a complete failure. Even if all of the higher-ups of Mystery Sect were to pass, what would be the use of it? The foundation had been completely destroyed, and it would be difficult to rise again.
Neither Patriarch Daojun nor Patriarch Heavenly Monarch had ever thought of giving up on their subordinates. These people were the elites of Mystery Sect, and every single one of them would feel heartache, not to mention abandoning them all. Therefore, the Patriarchs were still experimenting and discussing.
Lei Xingfeng was also pondering. Wu Yang said, “Let our people come up. There are some situations that we need to explain to them clearly.”
Takano said, “I’ll bring them up.”
Patriarch Daojun sent out another Nine Ring Daoist, This time they used simple restrictions, Trying to resist inexplicable death, That Adept’s face was as pale as earth. His entire body trembled. This was a mission that was almost certain to die. However, the Patriarch’s orders were absolutely not allowed to be resisted. There might still be a sliver of chance for him to survive. If he resisted, he would die immediately. At this time, the Patriarch was quite abnormal. For the sake of the entire Mystery Sect, they dared to do anything now.
Nothing unexpected happened. After the Adept entered, he died very quickly. An ancestor dragged him back. He was still covered in black markings. Not only was his face, but his entire body was covered in black markings. All the ancestors felt like they were going berserk.
Lei Xingfeng secretly shook his head. He had a feeling that this black silk was not forcefully attacking his body, but rather attacking some unknown factor. This factor was the key to the survival of mankind.
As for cultivators above Lord, these black threads were unable to attack. It could be guessed that after cultivators reached a certain level, certain flaws were made up.
Lei Xingfeng had to admit that his imagination was still not enough. The only feeling he felt was that a person’s soul had been annihilated. When he died, it was truly too strange.
Lei Xingfeng really didn’t have any research on souls or anything. He could only think of ways to avoid the harm that thin black threads could do to humans.
The Patriarch had no other choice. He tried all sorts of methods. Apart from the dead, he was also dead. Could it be that he abandoned all his subordinates? This was absolutely impossible. If they left just like that, what was the point of their great migration? This was not a migration, this was a death sentence for all of Mystery Sect!
Patriarch Huai Cheng said, “Take a break for now. Everyone retreat. Heavenly Monarch, stay.”
All the Secret Sect disciples retreated. Including Lord, only Daojun and Tianjun remained.
After everyone retreated far away, Patriarch Huai Cheng said in a deep voice, “Do you have any ideas or suggestions?” The reason why he stayed behind was because the Patriarch had already thought of all possible ways. He could only see if the Patriarch had any new ideas and open up new ways of thinking. Perhaps, he could find a way to pass.
Daojun and the Heavenly Monarchs gathered together. The Heavenly Monarchs also made various suggestions. However, most of these suggestions had been tested by Daojun. Some of them were rejected after a few hours of discussion. They were unable to find a suitable solution.
The ancestors looked particularly anxious. They were all Great Mystery Sect’s ancestors. If they couldn’t pass this trial, Great Mystery Sect would be doomed. There were over a thousand elite disciples under them. It was not easy for these people to walk here alive. They had sacrificed the lives of many people in Mystery Sect to save them. If they were stuck here, the foundation of the entire Mystery Sect would be lost.
No matter what, the Patriarchs didn’t want this kind of tragedy to happen. Patriarch Huai Cheng said, “Who can find a way to go? Patriarch … I have a prize!”
Some of the other ancestors also said that if they could find a way out of the past, they would all receive a reward.
Everyone wanted this reward, but this method was hard to find. The group of Patriarchs of Daojun had no way. What methods did they have these days? Each and every one of them wore gloomy faces as they pondered bitterly.
Lei Bao said, “Feng, do you have any ideas?”
Lei Xingfeng said thoughtfully, “I wonder what the reward is.” His voice was a little loud. These Daojun Patriarchs had sharp ears. They saw Patriarch Huai Cheng walk over and stare at Lei Xingfeng, saying, “Do you have a way?”
Wu Yang was a little panicked and hurriedly said, “Feng, if you have a way, hurry up and say it. Don’t hide it.” He was also afraid that Lei Xingfeng would anger Patriarch Daojun. At this time, these Patriarch Daojun were gunpowder kegs, and they would easily get angry. If there was no good way, it would not be good to be angered.
“I’m just asking what the reward is,” Lei Xingfeng said. “I don’t think I have a solution.”
These ancestors were a little sick and hurried to seek medical treatment. Patriarch Huai Cheng said, “Alright, let me tell you the reward I gave you first. A basic fire cultivation technique!”
The other ancestors also mentioned some rewards, are very rare materials, One of the ancestors, He took out a six-meter-long bone and said, Lei Xingfeng immediately recognized that the bones of the adult Lei Xing Beast were well preserved. This attracted a lot of attention. His Scarlet Cloud Sword Seal had melted the bones of the Golden Star Beast, but with the addition of the bones of the Lei Xing Beast, the power of the Scarlet Cloud Sword Seal would increase by 20%. Most importantly, if he had the bones of the adult Lei Xing Beast, his Lei Yin would also be able to improve its quality.
