Chapter 15: The Lingering Dark Soul (Part 1)
Leijishan, also known as Luohushan.
This is a very mysterious place, with thunderstorms all year round. Basically, every few days there will be a thunderstorm, and what's even more frightening is that the lightning here is extremely dense, almost no living thing can survive in the midst of lightning and thunder, so no one can survive here.
This place is a treasure land for Leixingfeng, a sacred place for cultivation.
Lei Xingfeng usually cultivates, and due to his excellent qualifications, even if he cultivates normally, the speed is still quite good. However, compared to cultivating in a thunderstorm, there's no comparison between the two. Cultivating in a thunderstorm is like the difference between a cow cart and a sports car. But thunderstorms aren't something you can have whenever you want. Back then, Old Man Lei went through great lengths with him in the wilderness to search for natural lightning.
Even in the rainy season, it is unlikely to find places with thunder and lightning on Leixing Peak.
Lei Xingfeng arrived at Lei Ji Mountain, unfortunately, the weather was clear and sunny, not even a thunderstorm, let alone lightning.
Qian Zhengkun pointed at the mountain range in front of him and smiled, "This is Leijishan. It's not very big, but the thunderstorms here are quite famous."
Lei Xingfeng gazed at the mountain range in the distance and smiled: "What a strange mountain, no wonder it's called Luanshan Mountain."
The mountains and lakes are indeed very strange. The endless lake surface has countless peaks, tall and short, scattered on the lake surface. You can barely see the direction of the mountain range. There is no vegetation on the mountain peaks, only bare rocks, and only at the foot of the mountain, there are some reeds.
Lei Xingfeng glanced at it for a moment and said, "We're done."
There were no boats here, they came out from the wheel point, it was a small piece of land, surrounded by lake water on all sides. Qian Zhengkun smiled bitterly and said, "Are we going to swim past?"
"Alright, I'll go."
The tiger crouched down, Lei Xingfeng pounced on its back, the mad eagle grasped Qian Zhengkun with one claw and flew towards Leijishan. Qian Zhengkun let out a loud cry of surprise, and the mad eagle shouted: "Shut up!"
Qian Zhengkun's face suddenly turned bright red, he wasn't afraid, but it was too sudden, flying into the air all at once, even if he were a real person, he wouldn't be able to control himself either.
He carried Lei Xingfeng on his back and flew quickly to the top of a high mountain peak, all within tens of seconds.
Lei Xingfeng glanced at Qian Zhengkun and said: "You go back first, if there's any news, let Old An come over to inform."
The mad eagle said: "I'll send him back, hehe."
Qian Zhengkun himself couldn't go back, with his strength he basically can't open the wheel point, this is not a fixed commercial channel, but a high-level cultivator's wheel point. Crazy Eagle had just put down Qian Zhengkun, and upon hearing this, immediately grabbed him again and flew back in the direction they came from.
In a moment, Crazy Eagle returned, and he laughed: "The little guy is still muttering... wanting what wheel ring, haha."
Lei Xingfeng slapped his forehead and said: "Oh dear, I forgot. I'll give it to him next time we meet."
"Ha ha, I forgot, that what's-his-name Qian Zhengkun is going to cry now, ha ha." He had a somewhat gloating smile.
The tiger fondled his head and said, "The wheel print is of great help to that guy, so he must care about it."
Lei Xingfeng smiled wryly and said, "I'll compensate him for it. By the way, if I forget again, you guys must remind me, ah, I didn't do it on purpose..."
The mad eagle looked around at the surroundings, walked to a huge rock in front of him, and punched out with a loud crash. The huge stone instantly turned into shattered stones falling down. He picked up a piece of stone and examined it carefully.
Lei Xingfeng curiously picked up a stone, but at a glance he exclaimed: "Iron ore?" He picked up another one and found that there was an attraction between the two ores. He said: "Magnetite..."
Habitual tiger also picked up a stone and said: "What is called magnetite?"
Lei Xingfeng couldn't explain it, this was knowledge from his previous life. However, he knew that magnetite ore was what he needed, and of course, he wouldn't collect it himself. Later on, he would mobilize his subordinates to mine for it. He had a vague understanding in his heart, no wonder there were lightning strikes here. It's likely that the entire mountain peak is a huge conductor that attracts lightning.
Feng Ying said, "We can't stay on the mountain peak. Once the thunder strikes, it's hard to resist." Even if he reached the height of eight rings, facing the power of nature, he had to yield three points.
"We'd better go down to the foot of the mountain, it's safer there."
The mad eagle said with some puzzlement: "There's nothing here except a little iron ore, why stay here? Hehe, there's really nothing here."
Lei Xingfeng said, "I'll stay here for a while, um, let's set up camp at the foot of the mountain for now." Once he made his decision, Crazy Eagle and Tiger would not object, unconditionally supporting him after all they were just bodyguards.
"Better have a boat...hmm, I'll go take a look...be back in a moment."
"Go ahead, it's safe here, I'll take care of it."
"Frenzied Eagle said to Leixing Peak: 'I'll be right back.' His body had already flickered into the air, and in an instant he vanished from sight."
Hui grabbed Lei Xingfeng's arm and jumped directly off the mountain peak.
At the foot of the mountain was a large muddy beach with countless reeds. Leixing Peak smiled wryly and said, "It's really necessary to have a boat, it's completely impossible to set up camp here."
"Hmm, I feel a bit uneasy here. Although it's sunny now, hehe, do we really need to stay here?" He didn't know that Leixing Peak could gain benefits in the weather of heavy rain and thunder, and wanted to take Leixing Peak away from here.
Lei Xingfeng smiled and said: "It's okay, I'm a thunder attribute, naturally immune to lightning..."
Two hours later, the mad eagle returned. He flew directly to the surface of the lake and released a small boat from his wheel storage space. With his strength, the wheel storage space was extremely large. Let alone placing a small boat, even if he placed a large sailboat, it would be no problem at all.
Hui grabbed Leixing Peak and flew up from the foot of the mountain, landing on a small boat. He laughed and said, "Are you going to rob?"
"Must I go and grab a small boat? It was bought! Not like it's something valuable."
The small boat had everything on board. Shi Hu said: "I'll come and row..." As he spoke, he was already at the back of the boat, reaching out to grab the oars.
Lei Xingfeng couldn't help but laugh, his mouth corners slightly curled up. The mad eagle asked strangely: "What's wrong? What are you laughing at?"
Lei Xingfeng said: "I estimate... Yao Yi won't be able to withstand his power."
Bang!
The oar broke into two pieces. Shi Hu was stunned and said, "Damn it, this thing is not durable... Old Eagle, the stuff you bought isn't good!"
Mad Eagle said, "I don't have a spare oar, this... you can either make an oar or use the iron ore on this mountain to make one. Heh heh, I think it's quite easy to make an oar." There was a hint of schadenfreude in his tone.
Lei Xingfeng flipped his wrist and a steel yo-yo appeared, shooting out as he raised his hand. He said, "Catch!"
"Ah... you actually carry a steel rattle with you?"
Lei Xingfeng smiled and said, "The wooden rudder we left behind earlier, we basically couldn't use it. Don't mention that you're all eighth-ringed, even if I was a Mysterious Wheel Master back then, with just a bit of force, it would have broken off. So I prepared a steel rudder."
He loved the steel frame of the rowing boat, and with just a light pull, the small boat shot out like an arrow. He laughed and said, "Haha, this is great!" After circling around the lake once, the boat returned to the water's edge at the foot of the mountain.
"What else can we do?" asked the mad eagle.
Lei Xingfeng smiled and said: "Wait, we'll wait here!"
No matter whether it was Crazy Eagle or Tiger, neither of them asked what they were waiting for. Since he wanted to wait, then let's wait. The two sat down, and Crazy Eagle said: "Tiger, get some fresh fish."
Lei Xingfeng said: "Find some crayfish, huh, I'll cook a dish, crispy fried crayfish, hehe, it's delicious."
"Haotiger shook his head and said: 'I don't have a fishing net, nor do I know how to fish, Old Eagle, you come instead.'"
Feng Ying said: "Stupid, can't even catch fish..."
"Of course I won't catch fish anymore," said Hui Hu Dao, "you're clever, you go catch some."
The mad eagle said lightly: "I won't either."
"Then you still say I'm stupid?"
Feng Ying said: "I didn't say I was smart either..."
At that moment, Shi Hu was so angry that he couldn't speak. He pointed at Feng Ying and said: "You, you... I've never seen you so shameless before!"
The mad eagle laughed straight away.
Lei Xingfeng couldn't help but shake his head, it was the first time he saw the two of them bickering like this, and he could tell that their relationship was quite good. He sighed and said: "Forget it, I'll do it myself, looks like I'm still a bit smarter."
The owl and the tiger stared at each other with wide eyes.
Lei Xingfeng not only had a steel harpoon, but also a fishing net in the wheel compartment. However, he didn't plan to use it and instead came to the side of the boat, stretched out his hand into the lake water, and released an electric current.
In an instant, a large number of fish of all sizes swam around the fishing boat. He said, "Scoop up the fish!" The electric fishing was highly efficient, and with one strike, it stunned a large area of fish. Within a hundred meters of the lake's surface, there were only unconscious fish.
The mad eagle and the tiger stared wide-eyed, neither of them could have imagined that catching fish was so simple, just reach out and scoop it up, and you can even pick and choose. The mad eagle gave a thumbs-up and said: "Impressive, impressive... this fishing is too easy, old tiger, let's go catch some fish!"
No fishermen dare to come here, so fish are extremely rich, with all kinds of fish and many large ones.
They hauled up a pile of fish, and there were quite a few large lake prawns. Leixingfeng carefully picked out the ones they didn't need and threw them back into the lake, keeping only the ones they needed. His control over the lightning was extremely precise, merely stunning the fish without killing them; otherwise, not a single fish would have been left to see, probably all reduced to ashes in the lake water.
The big fish only took the fish meat, and threw away everything else. The lake shrimp as thick as a thumb were specially picked out, their whiskers cut off, and placed aside. He took out pots, bowls, basins, and even a charcoal stove, all of which Lei Xingfeng had stored in his wheel storage space long ago. These were essential living items, necessary for traveling around this continent. Lei Xingfeng had even prepared three sets. Having food but no cooking equipment would be a truly painful thing.
