Chapter 1202 Thunderstorm
"Here is a map of the Ten Thousand Thunder Cave. Please take notes."
Xu Changshou scanned the jade slip in Yang Yanjing's hand with his divine sense, and a densely packed map immediately appeared in his mind.
The map reveals that Wanlei Cave has tens of thousands of passages, an endless network of passages that, like capillaries, cover the entire raised hill.
Even with a map, Xu Changshou still felt disoriented. However, the map had many large passageways, so as long as he entered one, he wouldn't get lost.
The map makes it easier to see the inner and outer perimeter of Wanlei Cave.
The entire Wanlei Cave is oval in shape, with a circular inner perimeter, resembling the cross-section of a duck egg.
After looking at the map, Xu Changshou took out a blank jade slip and made a copy of the map.
Others also took out blank jade slips to make rubbings of maps.
After making a rubbing of the map, Xu Changshou asked again, "Senior Brother Yang, there are so many dense passages here, it won't be easy for us to find the Three-Legged Thunder Frog."
Yang Yanjing patted his storage bag, took out a purple bead, and said with a smile, "This is the Thunder Essence Bead. As long as we get within 100,000 miles of the Three-Legged Thunder Frog, the Thunder Essence Bead will be able to sense us."
"That'll be easy."
"Let's keep going."
"Go inside!"
Yang Yan held the Thunder Pearl and led the group toward the depths of the Ten Thousand Thunder Cave.
The further you go in, the more concentrated the lightning energy becomes.
Xu Changshou could sense that if he used lightning magic in the Ten Thousand Thunder Cave, his attack power would increase exponentially.
The passageway they were walking through was not straight, but rather twisted and turned.
After traveling about a million miles, the lightning here was as thick as a little finger. When it struck, even a cultivator at the Void Refinement stage felt pain all over their body.
Upon arriving here, Xu Changshou realized that the lightning here had a certain stimulating effect on his physical body.
Yang Yanjing and Song Qingwen gritted their teeth and endured the lightning with their bare bodies, without using any magic to dispel it.
It wasn't that they didn't use magic, but rather that Xu Changshou hadn't used any magic, and they were embarrassed to use magic to dispel the lightning first.
You must understand that Xu Changshou is at the mid-stage of the Void Refinement realm, while they are at the late-stage. Their cultivation levels are higher than Xu Changshou's, and none of them want to be outdone by him.
After advancing another 500,000 li or so, the lightning bolts became thicker, each one as thick as a little finger.
"Damn, this is a horrible place."
"If it weren't for the mission, I would never have come to a place like this, even if you killed me."
At this moment, Yang Yanjing and Song Qingwen were both covered in sweat, but when they glanced at Xu Changshou, he seemed completely unaffected.
Yang Yanjing couldn't help but ask, "Junior Brother Xu, how do you feel?"
Xu Changshou shook his head: "I don't feel anything, it's quite comfortable."
"Forehead……"
Yang Yanjing and Song Qingwen both turned pale.
Zhao Xuemei smiled wryly and said, "No wonder Uncle Gu Ye insisted on having someone who had practiced lightning-attribute magic follow him. Sure enough, only someone like that can adapt to this environment."
"Yes, I can't compare to Junior Brother Xu!"
Yang Yan smiled wryly and used magic to shield himself with a golden aura, which made him feel a little better.
Seeing that he had used magic, Song Qingwen stopped trying to hold on and also used magic to dispel the lightning.
After traveling two million miles, the lightning became stronger, and in areas where the lightning was dense, purple lightning could even be seen.
Purple lightning is a more advanced form of lightning.
Ahead, Yang Yanjing suddenly stopped and said, "We're about to enter the central area of the Ten Thousand Thunder Cave. Everyone be careful."
After speaking, Yang Yanjing patted his storage bag and took out a golden sword, which was none other than the Golden Thunder Sword.
As soon as the Golden Thunder Sword appeared, it absorbed all the lightning around him, and Yang Yanjing then removed his defensive shield.
Upon arriving here, Yang Yanjing discovered that using the defensive shield to block the lightning consumed a lot of energy, so he had to take out the Golden Lightning Sword to avoid the lightning.
On the other side, Song Qingwen also had no choice but to take out the Purple Thunder Tower.
At this moment, everyone took out their lightning-based equipment and armed themselves to resist the lightning, except for Xu Changshou, who still used his bare body to withstand it.
Furthermore, judging from Xu Changshou's appearance, he seemed quite relaxed.
"This pervert!"
"He actually managed to withstand lightning with his bare body."
"How did he do that."
……
Yang Yan glanced at Xu Changshou and said respectfully, "Junior Brother Xu, are you alright?"
"I'm fine." Xu Changshou shook his head slightly.
Xu Ye walked over, summoned the Nine Dragons Thunderfire Shield, and said, "Junior Brother Changshou, I have the Nine Dragons Thunderfire Shield. How about I return your lightning-avoiding robe?"
"No need, I'm fine. You can wear it first, and give it to me when we get out!" Xu Changshou shook his head with a smile.
He was able to withstand lightning, and he also had the Thunderscale Sword and the Lightning-Attracting Talisman for self-defense. It could be said that he was the safest person in the Ten Thousand Thunder Cave.
He was worried that Xu Ye wouldn't be able to withstand it, so he lent Xu Ye the lightning-avoiding robe, and of course he wouldn't ask for it back.
"Let's go, let's continue!"
"The central area of the Ten Thousand Thunder Cave is just ahead, everyone be careful."
The group continued onward, and the power of the lightning became even more ferocious. The lightning here contained a layer of purple light.
Upon reaching this point, Xu Changshou felt that his physical body had reached its limit, so he stopped persisting, patted his storage bag, and summoned the Thunderscale Sword.
"This is... the Thunderscale Sword!"
"You actually have the Thunderscale Sword."
"Good heavens, Junior Brother Xu is truly a hidden talent!"
When Xu Changshou took out the Thunderscale Sword, everyone present almost popped their eyes out.
They had all heard of the Thunderscale Sword; this sword was said to cost 600 million high-grade spirit stones.
Wasn't Xu Changshou a menial disciple? How come he's richer than these inner disciples?
With the Thunderscale Sword in hand, some of the lightning was absorbed by the sword. However, Xu Changshou did not let the Thunderscale Sword absorb all the lightning. Instead, he consciously controlled a portion of the lightning to enter his body and temper his physical form.
Seeing Xu Changshou take out the Thunderscale Sword, Xu Ye couldn't help but twitch his lips. Where did this guy get so much money?
"This kid is rolling in money!"
Song Qingwen was envious.
Boom!
Suddenly, a huge roar came from ahead.
"what sound?"
"what happened?"
"That is……"
Everyone stared wide-eyed as a blinding purple light suddenly appeared ahead, followed by the roar of thunder.
Upon hearing the roar of thunder, Yang Yanjing and the others' expressions changed.
"Oh no, it's a thunderstorm."
"My God, a thunderstorm."
"It's over, it's over, I'm doomed!"
"Run!"
Without saying a word, everyone turned and ran.
Inside the Ten Thousand Thunder Cave, the most feared thing is the lightning storm, because the lightning in the lightning storm is extremely violent. It is said that a cultivator at the Refinement Void Realm was once strangled to death by a lightning storm.
At this moment, they were in a narrow passage with no connecting passages nearby, so they had no choice but to turn around and run backward.
However, their flight speed was far slower than that of the lightning storm.
In the blink of an eye, a torrent of purple lightning caught up with them.
The speed was so fast that it caught everyone off guard!
"No, running isn't the solution!"
Xu Changshou gritted his teeth, stopped in his tracks, and at the same time, quickly formed hand seals.
