Volume 1 Chapter 18: Difficult to Fly with Broken Wings

  The big black heart was pleased, but the beast's face pretended to be anxious and desperate. As the four people rushed over, it suddenly spread its limbs and jumped into the narrow mountain valley from that tiny opening.

  The four of them sneered and followed closely behind, without any guard.

  "Haha, you've all fallen for it... now let's see how I'll deal with you!" Da Hei was over the moon with excitement, his face full of smugness.

  As soon as they entered the valley, Qin Luoyi felt a strange and intense pressure that made her heart skip a beat. She twitched at the corner of her mouth and asked, "Dahai, what is this place?"

  Da Hei didn't bother to speak, continuing to run wildly with his legs spread apart. The four people chasing after him also felt something was off and stopped at the entrance of the mountain valley, frowning and exchanging suspicious glances.

  "Third brother, I think this place is a bit strange."

  "I feel it too."

  "This desolate mountain range is lacking in spiritual energy, I've been here several times before, but I've never discovered a place like this, it's a bit strange."

  ……

  The three of them cautiously dared not to get close, with a glint in their eyes, constantly sizing up the surroundings, unsure if it was an illusion. The three of them always felt a kind of intangible and overwhelming pressure lingering above the valley, which made them feel a sense of inexplicable fear.

  "Uncle, that dead girl has run far away, if we don't chase her now, it will be too late." The young man in black was somewhat anxious, although he also had a strange feeling, but with three strong men from the clan by his side, he didn't take these strange feelings to heart.

  "The wind, this mountain valley is surrounded by mountains on three sides, they are difficult to fly... You, are too impatient, haven't you discovered that something is wrong with this mountain valley?" One of the middle-aged men in blue clothes shook his head and said with a serious expression.

  "Second Uncle, this valley is a bit strange, but they've all gone in... we should be fine going in too." Xiao Feng said.

  I couldn't help but feel puzzled in my heart, why such a simple truth was not understood by these few uncles, who were still hesitating and looking around, they were timid and actually blamed him for being impatient.

  The big black eyes saw that they were no longer being chased, suddenly turned around and made several ghostly faces at them, then continued to run forward with great joy, but this time, its speed was significantly slower, and every step it took was extremely cautious.

  "This dead thing, how dare it be so arrogant!" Xiao Feng was furious, seeing that a beast dared to show off in front of him, and he couldn't bear it anymore. He charged at it and chased after it.

  Although some of them were displeased with his arbitrary actions, the other three did not say anything and followed him after exchanging a glance.

  "Aaaaah!" Dahei stopped in his tracks and let out a loud, excited howl. The massive sound echoed back and forth through the mountain valley.

  "Rumble!"

  The originally clear and bright sky had not a single cloud, but suddenly a thunderbolt came crashing down, slashing wildly at the four people who were chasing after it.

  "Ah!" Xiao Feng let out a miserable cry, struck by a massive bolt of lightning that left his entire body smoking, his face charred black.

  And the other three were secretly rejoicing, knowing that this time they had fallen into Qin Luoyi's trap. This mountain valley was clearly set up with a very powerful and formidable formation.

  However, their cultivation was a big notch higher than Xiao Feng's. Those flashes of lightning came suddenly, but they didn't cause them fatal injuries.

  Three people simultaneously released their magical tools, helping to defend against the thunderbolt attack while swiftly flying towards Qin Luo Yi's direction. At this moment, no one had time to care about Xiao Feng, who was struck and left to fend for himself in the sea of thunder.

  "Damn it, those three bastards caught up so quickly." Dahei muttered in annoyance.

  "Hurry up. Once they catch up with us, we'll be in danger." Qin Luo furrowed her delicate eyebrows and urged Da Hei on.

  Xiao Feng was clearly about to be chopped down like charcoal, and they were caught up by these three furious people, definitely a bad omen.

  Dahuo hesitated for a moment, but just as the three middle-aged men were about to catch up with him, the hesitation in his eyes suddenly disappeared, and he kicked off again, rushing wildly into the valley.

  Rumble.

  At this moment, the terrifying thunder not only struck the people behind them, but also fiercely fell on Qin Luoyi's head, and this thunder was several times more powerful than the one that struck Xiao Feng and others earlier.

  "Ah!"

  A middle-aged man wearing blue clothes was struck by a terrifying thunderbolt, his whole body emitting a faint smell of smoke, extremely miserable. And Dahei narrowly dodged a bolt of lightning as thick as a thigh.

  Qin Luoyi's face turned green, and he suddenly thought of the miserable state of Dahei returning to Yuqing Peak more than 20 days ago. He said in a gloomy tone: "This can't be the cave mansion of that ancient powerful being you mentioned, right?"

  The big black once again narrowly dodged a fierce lightning bolt, then chuckled and said: "This is the ancient clan's powerful cave, this formation is formidable, right? Haha, it won't take long, I guarantee I'll blast them all to smithereens!"

  "Hmph, they were killed, I think we're almost done too. I said before we came that we were just going to take a look..." Qin Luo's voice was still cold.

  "Huh, I remember what you said!" Dahei blinked and his footsteps, which had been avoiding the lightning strike, became somewhat flustered: "But you also saw that their cultivation is too high, they've been chasing us relentlessly, determined to take our lives. And that Huang Shi Jing Yuan's... if we don't lure them here, how can we possibly shake them off?"

  Although it was said so, Qin Luo still felt a bit annoyed. Looking at Da Hei now, he would definitely be struck by lightning today.

  She turned around and saw that the three people behind her were covered in a green smoke, their noses, eyes, and mouths were all black with a charred smell. Her face turned green, then cyan, then black, and finally purple.

  It would be better for her to die than to spend the rest of her life like this!

  "Haha, I finally killed one!"

  ……

  "Split another one to death!"

  ……

  Boom!

  Dahuo was too excited, only paying attention to what was behind him, and didn't notice that a fierce bolt of lightning had locked onto him. Suddenly, he was struck right on the spot, and let out a mournful shriek.

  And on its ear, an ancient and simple bracelet was swaying gently... A flash of light, Qin Luo Yi flashed out from inside, standing on the ground, looking at Da Hei's miserable appearance, couldn't help but pat his chest, with a face full of relief.

  "What a close call!"

  If it wasn't for her quick thinking, when the lightning was about to strike her body, she swiftly hung the bracelet on Da Hei's ear and then quickly dodged inside... or else she would have started smoking by now!

  Dà Hēi looked at her with some sorrow and resentment.

  Qin took off his clothes, patted its head to comfort it, and then quickly pulled out two healing pellets for it to eat. Looking at Da Hei's miserable state, he couldn't help but feel some sympathy, so he said: "How about you come with me instead? We'll go in together and wait until the remaining person is killed before coming out."

  The only one still alive, can no longer see his original appearance, and the clothes on his body have long been burned to ashes. However, he was able to survive successfully, not by chance. Among the three of them, his cultivation was the highest, and there was a broken gourd on top of his head. The broken gourd looked ugly, but it helped him block many lightning strikes.

  "Never mind, I'd better stay outside. If he gets that bracelet of yours, neither of our lives will be spared!" Dahei thought for a moment, sighed and shook his head vigorously.

  The charred wood behind him, with the broken gourd on top, approached again with a fierce and menacing air, its eyes flashing with a cannibalistic glow. The large black shape moved once more, charging forward again, while Qin Luo's clothes jumped into the space within the handcuff.

  Da Hei's body was hacked to the point of being a bloody mess, and she couldn't bear to sit on its back again. However, this place was unfamiliar to her, and if she were to recklessly charge around, she would definitely end up in a terrible state.

  "Haha! They're all dead!"

  After being struck by lightning several times, the charred remains behind finally collapsed and could no longer move.

  Dahuo stopped in his tracks, his eyes gleaming with suppressed triumph. Qin Luoyi also let out a breath of relief, finally they were all dead. Now he only needed to pay attention to the ubiquitous lightning strikes and not worry about being ambushed from behind.

  "Hurry up and let's find a safe place to avoid this thunderstorm," she urged Dahei, whose current miserable state, although not as severe as that day, was still quite similar, which made her feel unbearable.

  "Uh." Dahei blinked, somewhat hesitantly opening his mouth: "Now there are two paths, one is to exit the valley outside, and the other is to continue advancing, charge out of this area, otherwise this thunderbolt can't be avoided at all."

  "Then just quit." Qin Luo Yi thought for a moment in her bangle and said.

  With the ferocity of this lightning strike, even if Da Hei managed to charge out of this area, it would probably be dead by now. Moreover, it had already come twice before; if it could have charged through, it would have done so long ago and wouldn't still be waiting until now. This ancient powerful being's lair requires thorough research and meticulous preparation beforehand; it's not too late to make a move after that.

  Dà Hēi, however, was reluctant to give up. With a sly smile, he said, "Since we've all come this far, let's make a run for it." As soon as the words left his mouth, he began to bare his teeth and grin, but this smile pulled at the wounds on his body, causing him unbearable pain.

  Rumble!

  The sky struck down another bolt of lightning. This time it was in even more pain and jumped up and down.

  "Damn it, I'm going in today!" Da Hei gritted his teeth, not wanting to suffer in vain, and ignoring Qin Luo's dissuasion, he charged straight inside.

  Qin Luo Yi stroked his forehead, knowing that he couldn't stop the big black from being struck by lightning and becoming somewhat frenzied. He hastily reminded him: "If you're going in, just pick up that gourd, that way you can avoid some of the strikes."

  Da Hei was reminded by her, his eyes lit up, and he turned around to pick up the gourd and put it on his head as well. As a result, when he was struck again, the power of the lightning strike was reduced by half.

  "Haha, this time the two of us will join forces and definitely rush into the cave!" Dahei burst out laughing and excitedly rushed towards the depths of the mountain valley.

  Qin Luo's master listened and secretly laughed to himself.

  Why did the two join forces, it has always been fighting alone! Last time it returned to the sect, it insisted on coming... No matter how hard I think, I don't understand why it's like this.

  "It's finally here."

  The big black stopped, its two eyes staring forward fiercely, with a continuous burst of green smoke on its body, but it seemed to be completely unfeeling.

  Qin Luoyi jumped out of the handcuffs, looked up and saw that they were already standing at the end of the lightning strike area. Dahei's choice of where to stand was clearly deliberate. The lightning here was thicker and more intense than the places they had passed through earlier, but those lightning bolts, although fierce, couldn't hit its body, just like the place where they were now standing, which was a blind spot.

  Such a place, when they came in just now, there were not many, otherwise with the strength of Dahei, like those three middle-aged men just now, would have been killed by lightning, but she also discovered a rule, this kind of place can temporarily avoid being struck by lightning, but it's only temporary, and the formation seems to be changing all the time.

  "Huh, there's actually someone here!" Qin Luoyi's heart skipped a beat as he exclaimed in surprise. At the end of the terrifying Thunder Zone, a man in green robes stood with his sleeves fluttering in the wind, his face expressionless.
