Chapter 143 The Origin of Extraordinary Creatures(1/2)
"Damn it, this mine even has a starter."
Seeing the lightning as thick as the mouth of a bowl striking the ground behind him, Su Xiaofan couldn't help but shudder. He didn't want to experience the numbing feeling of being struck by lightning again.
As the first bolt of lightning fell, the unusually quiet Devil's Valley suddenly became agitated.
Under the impact of the dense dark clouds in the sky, countless blue lightning flashed faintly, as if they would fall down the next moment.
"Grandma, I... I just moved that broken piece of wood, why did lightning fall?"
At this time, Jing Shizhen was about to cry. Just as he was about to turn around, another bolt of lightning struck down, almost hitting Jing Shizhen.
"Meow!"
The tiger cat that was originally on the ground suddenly had hair all over its body. It suddenly jumped onto Su Xiaofan's shoulders. It was obviously very afraid of this lightning.
"Master, break in..."
Su Xiaofan discovered that the direction in which the lightning fell seemed to be concentrated at the mouth of the valley, while the clouds above the depths of Devil's Valley were not very thick.
"That's too late!"
Jing Shizhen had a wry smile on his face, because he saw that above the two people's heads, a large net woven by lightning might fall down at any time.
No matter how fast the two of them go, they may not be able to go faster than the speed of light. As long as the net of thunder and lightning falls, the two of them will definitely not be able to escape.
Behind the two of them, streaks of thunder and lightning had fallen, completely blocking their retreat.
"Master, over there!"
Su Xiaofan's eyes flashed, he grabbed Jing Shizhen, held Duobao in his hand, and swayed over a hundred meters.
At this moment, the huge network of thunder and lightning in the sky finally fell down with a huge roar of thunder, covering half of the huge canyon below.
Just as the thunder net fell, Su Xiaofan pulled Jing Shizhen's body and slammed it into a cave in the canyon wall.
A dazzling light flashed, and deafening thunder seemed to explode in their ears. Su Xiaofan and Jing Shizhen, who were lying sideways in the cave, both looked extremely pale.
The lightning and thunder were just two or three meters away from Su Xiaofan, but after entering the cave, the thunder and lightning could not hurt the two of them at all.
Su Xiaofan and Jing Shizhen looked at each other, fearful in their hearts. It might be just a few tenths of a second before the two of them would be left outside forever.
Looking at the bowl-thick thunder and lightning at close range, Jing Shizhen and Su Xiaofan didn't feel that the python inner armor and arm guards they were wearing had much effect.
"Squeak...squeak!"
Just when the master and apprentice were thankful to have escaped death, a squeaking sound suddenly came from their ears, and Su Xiaofan couldn't help but be stunned.
A flaming red fox was lying four or five meters away from the two of them, making a menacing sound to them, but the sharp cry really didn't have much of a deterrent effect.
"Extraordinary creature?" Su Xiaofan looked at his master and had already started preparing something in his hand.
"No, it's not like there is no ferocity like extraordinary creatures."
Jing Shizhen looked at the fox, shook his head, and said: "Extraordinary creatures can release a kind of pressure. We didn't face the giant python last time, otherwise you would have understood it."
"Meow!" At this moment, Duobao, who was stunned by the fall just now, let out a low roar at the fiery red fox.
"See, this is a shock. It seems that your tiger cat will evolve into an extraordinary creature sooner or later."
Jing Shizhen nuzzled at the tiger cat, while the red fox, who was still grinning just now, was lying on the ground holding his head.
"Forget it, we are a dove occupying a magpie's nest here. If it weren't for such a fox hole, we would all be roasted."
Su Xiaofan stopped the tiger cat that was about to pounce. He didn't mind eating rock mutton or wild ass meat, but that was for food and survival.
Nature's food chain law of the jungle has existed for countless years, but when hunters are not hungry, they usually will not kill prey indiscriminately.
This was the situation at hand, and the fox meat was not tasty, so there was no need for Su Xiaofan to let the tiger cat kill it.
"Xiaofan, how did you discover this cave?"
Jing Shizhen took a look and found that the hole was not very big. It was only seven or eight meters deep and only a little over one meter high. It was a bit difficult for both of them to stand up straight.
"I saw it when I came in, but I didn't pay much attention."
Su Xiaofan was telling the truth. When he used the repair system to observe the things in Devil's Valley, he saw a plant called Thunder Vine.
Su Xiaofan felt that the name was rather strange, so he took a few glances at it, and the thunder vine grew outside the cave.
In fact, there were far more than just this one cave on the rock walls on both sides of the canyon. As far as Su Xiaofan noticed, there were five or six of them, but this one was the closest to them.
"The plants outside seem to be able to absorb lightning."
Jing Shizhen observed the situation outside, and there were still thunder and lightning falling on the ground, and the deafening thunder was still surrounding her ears.
But it was safe, and Jing Shizhen looked out with confidence. This look really gave him some clues.
The lightning bolts seemed to be extremely powerful, but when they landed on the plants in the valley, bursts of blue light appeared, and then they disappeared.
Not only the plants, but also the stones on the ground and the scattered bones of animals and people seemed to be absorbing the energy of lightning.
"The power of this lightning doesn't seem that great."
Jing Shizhen looked at the blue light on the vines at the entrance of the cave and had the urge to touch it with her hands.
"Master, let me do it."
Su Xiaofan didn't know when he crawled over. The cave was too short, and it was not comfortable to crawl while bending down to walk.
Seeing the master's thoughts, Su Xiaofan stretched out his hand outside the cave and grabbed a vine.
"Fuck!"
Su Xiaofan only had time to shout out two words, before his whole body trembled on the spot like a cramp.
The thunder and lightning on the thunder vine seemed not very powerful, but as soon as Su Xiaofan touched it, he felt an overbearing and powerful energy rushing through his body.
Su Xiaofan's true energy seemed not to be that strong under the power of thunder and lightning. As soon as it came into contact, he was defeated by the power of thunder and lightning.
"puff……"
Su Xiaofan spurted out a mouthful of blood, but the meridians in his body were damaged, and the hand holding Lei Teng was bounced away.
"Xiaofan, what's going on?"
Seeing Su Xiaofan's body falling backward after being shot, Jing Shizhen quickly helped Su Xiaofan from behind.
"Fuck!"
Jing Shizhen said the same two words as Su Xiaofan, and her body trembled uncontrollably.
However, most of the power of the lightning was absorbed by Su Xiaofan's body. After it was transmitted to Jing Shizhen, there was not much of it, but it just made him feel sore and numb all over his body.
"Why are you so strong?"
Supporting her body with her hands, Jing Shizhen couldn't help but reveal a strange look on her face when she looked at Su Xiaofan.
"The energy contained in this ray of lightning is definitely stronger than high-voltage electricity!" Su Xiaofan used his skills to calm down the restless essence in his body.
"Um?"
Su Xiaofan, who was practicing his kung fu, discovered that his true energy seemed to contain a hint of the lightning just now.
When the true essence with thunder light wandered in the meridians, the remaining true energy in the meridians in Su Xiaofan's body suddenly merged into the true essence like ice and snow melting.
When Su Xiaofan refines the true energy, he does not refine it in the Dantian, but moves part of the true energy within the meridians.
Then, when running the technique, let the true energy refine the true energy in the meridians. It usually takes about three or four days to completely refine it.
Repeating this process over and over again, it was not until Su Xiaofan refined all the true energy in his Dantian that he could truly enter the Yin Shen realm.
After Su Xiaofan got the energy stone, this time was shortened from ten years to two or three years.
But after absorbing that trace of lightning energy, Su Xiaofan felt that he could shorten this time even further.
It's just that the thunder and lightning seemed to be consumptive energy. After Su Xiaofan ran a few meridians, it dissipated.
"Would you like to try touching the Thunder Vine again?"
An idea came to Su Xiaofan's mind, but when he sank his consciousness into his body, he immediately gave up the idea.
In Su Xiaofan's opinion, his extremely tough meridians were now in pieces due to the impact of the thunder and lightning energy, and there were even damages in several places.
Fortunately, Su Xiaofan had practiced with the ice energy stone for a period of time, and the true essence in his body contained a trace of the energy of the spirit stone, and he was now repairing the damaged meridians.
“Not worth it.”
Su Xiaofan made some calculations and gave up the idea of catching thunder and lightning.
Although the lightning energy can help him quickly convert his true energy into true energy, the damage he suffers is also great.
It will take at least three to five days to repair just these damaged meridians.
And in these three to five days, the amount of Qi that Su Xiaofan transformed by himself may not be less than the amount of lightning energy.
The most important thing is that it is safe to transform yourself, and it will not be as dangerous as before.
You must know that if Su Xiaofan's hand was pushed away a little and more lightning energy was absorbed, at least a few meridians in Su Xiaofan's body would be severed.
Damage to the meridians and disconnection of the meridians are two different concepts.
The disconnection of the meridians means that the technique cannot be operated, and Su Xiaofan may fall to the Great Zhoutian realm. It will also affect the subsequent practice of the technique.
Su Xiaofan now knows why the death rate in Devil's Valley is so high.
