"The crimson Thunder Lizard, equivalent to a Condensing Pulse warrior, unexpectedly appeared on the lower levels of Thunder Mountain. It's quite ominous." Generally, warriors who come to Thunder Mountain are in the Easy Tendon or Tempering Bone stages; if they encounter this red lizard, it would be a death sentence.

  Lin Ming felt a little strange, but he didn't think much of it. At this time, the Thunder Lizard had already let out a roar and spat out a thunderball at him.

  The red ball of lightning was entirely crimson, one circle larger than the white ball of lightning spat out by the White Lightning Lizard previously.

  Lin Ming still didn't dodge.

  "Zzz!"

  The thunderball entered Lin Ming's body, and the numbness was even more intense than before. This crimson lightning was much more violent than the white lightning.

  Unfortunately, without the command of Lei Ling, it was like a tiger wolf losing its commander. When the red lightning entered Lin Ming's heart, facing the evil god's child, Lei Ling, he immediately felt an instinctual fear.

  It's like a ferocious wolf dog encountering a young tiger, even if the tiger hasn't grown up yet, it still exudes the majesty of the king of all beasts.

  As expected, Lei Ling swallowed the crimson lightning bolt.

  Lin Ming didn't move, but the black-clothed warrior's Adam's apple twitched violently several times. Although he had guessed Lin Ming's strength, having great strength didn't necessarily mean he could withstand a lightning attack head-on, let alone a crimson lightning bolt.

  Lin Ming felt a hint of growth in Lei Ling's Thunder Spirit, which made him feel a sense of joy. It seemed that the red lightning had already surpassed the white lightning in quality. What about the even higher-level blue lightning?

  Lin Ming's heart was filled with anticipation.

  He must go above the waist of Leiting Mountain, where he will meet a blue thunder lizard equivalent to a post-heavenly martial artist.

  In his view, as long as he is not afraid of the Thunder Lizard's thunderbolt, it is equivalent to the deep blue Thunder Lizard at the peak of a postnatal martial artist. He can't do anything about it either.

  Instead, you can use the lightning released from them as a supplement!

  It's even possible to go and experience the legendary purple thunder lizard, equivalent to a congenital martial artist. If he can absorb some of the purple lightning, who knows what changes will occur in Lei Ling? Thinking about this, Lin Ming is full of anticipation.

  But soon Lin Ming discovered he had been too naive.

  That red Thunder Lizard saw its proud thunder attack fail. It turned into a physical attack, the lizard's tail, thicker than a water bucket, whipped down like a whip!

  Although the Thunder Lizard is slow in movement due to its large body size, it is absolutely no slower than a human martial artist when it comes to attack speed!

  Lin Ming's eyes locked onto something, and he suddenly vanished from his original spot as he activated the Golden Peng Breaking Void Body Technique!

  Boom!

  The ground was directly smashed by a thunder lizard's tail, creating a ditch. Along with the magnetic ore on the ground, it was also crushed into powder.

  Lin Ming let out a cold breath, using a lot of strength. He could withstand the Thunder Lizard's lightning attack, but he couldn't resist its direct tail whip.

  "I was wrong, I thought Thunder Lizards could only attack with lightning, it seems that even if they rely solely on physical attacks, they won't lose to same-level ferocious beasts."

  "With my current strength, recklessly provoking the purple thunder lizard which is equivalent to a congenital master is seeking death."

  Having already understood the Thunder Lizard's attack method, Lin Ming no longer needed to stall for time. He shook his Soft Silver Spear and accelerated to his maximum speed, charging towards the Thunder Lizard like a shooting star.

  On the tip of the gun, a flame burst forth like a red lotus, the momentum of the blazing fire was in no way inferior to thunder!

  "Pffft!"

  The long spear directly broke into the Thunder Lizard's scales and charged straight in!

  Practiced strength like silk and flame true yuan simultaneously burst forth, the Thunder Lizard's body suddenly shook violently, spitting out fresh blood.

  It let out a mournful cry, its tail swung towards Lin Ming, but was easily dodged by him due to his severe injuries. This time, the Thunder Lizard's strength had clearly weakened significantly, and it only left a shallow mark on the ground.

  Lin Ming drew out his spear and punched the Thunder Lizard's brow, causing its True Essence to erupt again. The red Thunder Lizard could no longer withstand the two blows, its body swaying before crashing to the ground with a loud thud.

  With Lin Ming's current strength, dealing with a fierce beast equivalent to the early stages of the Congenital Realm was already very easy.

  Lin Ming dissected the Red Thunder Lizard's body as before and took out the Crimson Thunder Bead.

  A thought stirred. Thunder power surged into Lin Ming's body, and a very comfortable numbness followed, the Thunder Spirit hidden in Lin Ming's heart excitedly shuttling up and down around the Evil God Seed.

  The power of the red lightning was quickly absorbed by Lei Ling, and this time's growth finally made Lin Ming somewhat satisfied. At this rate, with another 10 or 20 red lightning beads, it would be enough to increase the power of the thunderbolt by 10%.

  Of course, this growth cannot last forever. I'm afraid that after increasing by 40% to 50%, the power of Red Lightning will no longer have any amplification effect on Lei Ling.

  At that time, he could only go in search of a more powerful Thunder Force to nourish Lei Ling.

  ……

  Not far away, the twin girls were applying medicine to the Qi Refining stage youth. However, the Qi Refining stage youth's injuries were too severe, and relying solely on those low-grade medicinal herbs wrapped in the girls' cloth was barely enough to preserve his life.

  Lightning is the kind of thing that can easily leave behind hidden injuries. People who are struck by a powerful electric current, even if they survive at the time, may die years later due to heart failure and other reasons because lightning leaves behind hidden injuries when it passes through the heart.

  If this continues, this young man will probably have to lie in bed for a year or so. After that, it's uncertain whether he can continue practicing martial arts or how long he'll live.

  The young man in the Easy Muscle period groaned painfully, and the two girls saw that Er Shixiong was like this, both with unbearable expressions. However, as the eldest brother, the black-clothed warrior did not pay attention to the young man in the Easy Muscle period, but instead looked at Lin Ming, seemingly hesitating about something in his heart.

  Just as Lin Ming was about to leave, the black-clothed warrior finally couldn't help but speak up: "Senior, please wait a moment."

  Lin Ming's footsteps paused, and he turned around to look at the black-clad warrior, asking coldly: "What is it?"

  Although Lin Ming did not have any conflicts with the black-clothed martial artist and his group, the greedy gaze of the young man from the Easy Muscle Period had fallen on him earlier. Lin Ming naturally knew what kind of calculations he was making at that time. He didn't have a good impression of such people. Therefore, even though there were top-grade healing medicines in the Mustard Seed Ring that could alleviate his pain, Lin Ming did not intend to take them out.

  Lin Ming thought the black-clothed martial artist was seeking his help for something related to his junior brother, but unexpectedly, the black-clothed martial artist opened his mouth and said: "Senior, I have a guess, I don't know if I should say it or not." The black-clothed martial artist wasn't sure either, he feared that if he spoke out and couldn't fulfill it, he would suffer Lin Ming's anger. That would be unjust.

  "What guess?"

  "The black-clothed martial artist organized his words and said, 'My master had practiced martial arts in his early years at Leiting Mountain. He went in and out of Leiting Mountain more than a dozen times, accumulating a lot of experience, which he passed on to me. Although my cultivation is not high, I have also been to Leiting Mountain five times. With Master's experience added to mine, it can be said that I am very familiar with Leiting Mountain.'"

  Lin Ming nodded slightly, he also discovered this point. At first, the black-clothed warrior could judge the strength of the Thunder Lizard just by its roar, but to Lin Ming's ears, there was no difference between the two Thunder Lizards' roars.

  "The black-clothed warrior said, 'As far as I know, in the lower levels of Thunderbolt Mountain, there shouldn't be any Thunder Lizards above the Tempering Bone stage. But now, two have appeared one after another. And among them, one is even at the Condensed Pulse stage, which is unusual.'"

  "Thunder Lizards have their own clans, and within the clan, there is also a division of status. The higher the strength of the Thunder Lizard, the higher its status, and its territory will be closer to the top of the mountain, because the top of the mountain has the most abundant thunder force, and from the top of the mountain down, the thunder force becomes less and less."

  "Continue," Lin Ming said. This Thunder Flood Dragon's society was somewhat similar to that of humans. The stronger the martial artist, the more cultivation resources they would occupy.

  With Lin Ming's encouragement, the black-clothed martial artist regained his spirit and was no longer timid. He said: "The power of thunder in a domain is limited, and no one wants to let other Thunder Lizards absorb it, so it's not surprising that the Thunder Lizard won't leave its own domain. Otherwise, there will be disputes, which means high-level Thunder Lizards are unlikely to come down from the mountain unless..."

  The man in black said up to here and paused for a moment, then said: "I'm just guessing, I don't know if it's true or not."

  "You said it's okay even if I'm wrong." Lin Ming saw the concerns of the black-clothed martial artist and spoke up.

  "Hmm, that's right. I guess these two Thunder Lizards evolved on their own. They might have originally just been ordinary Thunder Lizards in the Easygoing Period, but due to some sort of opportunity, they were able to evolve into the Tempering Peak and Condensed Pulse periods."

  "Oh? What coincidence?" Lin Ming's interest was piqued.

  "Seniors don't know, Leiting Mountain is because the power of thunder and lightning is too rich, sometimes it will give birth to some heavenly treasures with thunder attributes, and Leiting Grass is just one of the most ordinary ones."

  "So you're saying you suspect these two Thunder Lizards ate some kind of thunder-attributed heavenly material treasure?"

  The black-clothed warrior shook his head and said, "It's not about eating it. What Thunder Lizards like most is collecting things, such as this Thunder Grass. The Thunder Lizard would be delighted to see more Thunder Grass growing in its territory, which would make the Thunder Force within their territory even denser, with a better effect than eating the Thunder Grass itself. That's why hundreds of years old Thunder Grass usually have high-level Thunder Lizards guarding them."

  "Thunder Lizards have a very long lifespan, and some Thunder Lizards will stay around a single stalk of Thunder Grass for hundreds of years, waiting for it to grow into a thousand-year-old Thunder Grass. While guarding its growth, the Thunder Lizard also gains great benefits, far exceeding what it would gain from eating it directly. If there is a Heaven's Treasure with Thunder properties, the Thunder Lizard will be even more reluctant to eat it, as eating it would only raise its level by one or two stages at most. But if it guards it and lets it grow, then the benefits will be endless."

  Lin Mingdao said, "I understand, you mean to say that these two Thunder Lizards are guarding a treasure that can evolve them. I'd like to know, why did you tell me this news? Wouldn't it be better for you to go dig up that treasure yourself?"
