Chapter 5: Life and Death
In order to allow Yun Tianhe to keep up with him, the Snow Fox controlled its speed and ran wildly with Yun Tianhe for more than three hours, arriving at a mountain gorge where the spiritual energy was rampant, but several times denser than that of the outside world.
Hundreds of wild thunderbolts descended, and immediately after, the raging thunder within the Valley of Ten Thousand Thunders seemed to be drawn by some force, violently striking the frail body of Yuntian He, who had fainted in the Valley. The thunderbolts charred his entire body, forcefully driving him into the earth's layers
In order to gain the trust of the snow fox, Yun Tianhe did not hesitate and immediately swore an oath to the heavens
Ah, facing the unavoidable raging thunder, Yuntianhe unleashed all of his potential, determined to withstand the violent storm
As the spiritual energy surged, the Snow Fox clan, secretly observing Yun Tianhe, sensed that the aura emanating from him was quite stable. They let out a slight sigh of relief, and their gazes towards Yun Tianhe softened.
With the sound of thunder rumbling, strange rock formations on both sides of the Wanlei Gorge emanated an eerie power as bolts of lightning struck down. The dancing electric serpents seemed to be in a grand celebration, continuously flashing and intertwining throughout the gorge
Seeing Yun Tianhe finally enter the mountain stream, the snow-white fur of the snow fox became increasingly red in its eyes, as if it had witnessed Yun Tianhe being unable to walk out alive from the library, and it turned away.
Having obtained the misty crystal, Yuntianhe felt greatly satisfied. He nodded to the Snow Fox clan, signaling them to lead the way to the place they had mentioned.
After roughly understanding the meaning expressed by the Snow Fox clan, Yun Tianhe fell into deep thought. If he were to leave obediently, he would inevitably feel reluctant. However, if the Snow Fox were to reach the level of a spiritual beast, even the lowest rank of spiritual beast would be beyond his current capability to contend with. The reason the Snow Fox clan has made concessions may be that they have not yet reached the realm of spiritual beasts, or they fear that if they cannot kill him immediately, it would expose the breeding grounds of the Snow Fox clan, bringing catastrophic consequences to them.
Damn it! Why are the lightning strikes so dense? How am I supposed to escape!" Deep in the valley of thunder, being struck by bolts of lightning from the sky like a headless fly, Yun Tianhe shouted to the heavens in frustration.
In addition, the Snow Fox clan was willing to offer a treasure. After careful consideration, Yun Tianhe ultimately compromised, found a branch, and wrote the two large characters "Agree" on the ground
Upon seeing Yun Tianhe's agreement, the hostile Snow Fox clan let out a slight sigh of relief. The largest Snow Fox extended its claws and quickly wrote two crooked characters on the ground: 'Swear.' 'I didn't expect these Snow Foxes to be quite cautious!' Yun Tianhe smiled faintly and murmured.
Damn it, is this place Wanlei Gorge! Thinking of the legend in Qingyun City that there is a mysterious Wanlei Gorge in this green mountain, where thunder rages incessantly at night, Qiantianhe suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.
At that moment, Yun Tianhe unleashed his potential to the fullest, using his keen senses to deftly evade the falling lightning. The roaring dark clouds seemed to have heard Yun Tianhe's insults, causing the entire mass of clouds to tremble. Five hundred bolts danced wildly, resembling electric serpents emerging from the gnarled roots of an ancient tree, roaring as they illuminated the pitch-black night sky within the valley of thunder, carrying immense destructive power as they struck fiercely towards Yun Tianhe
Uh. The handwriting, could these snow foxes be spiritual beasts! Although the characters scattered on the ground are difficult to discern, any beast capable of writing must possess spirituality. The thought that there are spiritual beasts in the back mountain of the Yun family surprised Yun Tianhe slightly
Although this place is not as good as the stone forest where your Snow Fox clan thrives, since I have already promised you, I will definitely keep my word!" After saying this, Yun Tianhe turned and walked into the mountain gorge filled with abundant spiritual energy
At this moment, the lightning strikes around Yun Tianhe became increasingly dense and powerful, causing a ringing in his ears and a tingling sensation throughout his body
With a cry of relief, the largest snow fox raised its head to the sky and howled a few times. A snow-white fox, as white as snow, leaped over dozens of massive snow foxes the size of tigers and appeared before Yuntianhe, opening its slender fox mouth to expel a crystal.
During the course of running, a hint of murderous intent inadvertently flashed in the eyes of the snow-white fox, but it vanished in an instant, unnoticed by Yun Tianhe
Struck repeatedly by the devastating power of the raging thunder, Yun Tianhe could only accept the fate of falling into the cycle of reincarnation. However, at that moment, despite his body being severely destroyed, Yun Tianhe did not experience the annihilation of his soul. Instead, miraculously, he resembled a sprouting seedling, regaining vitality.
If Yun Tianhe agrees, the Snow Fox Clan is willing to offer a treasure and take Yun Tianhe to another place for cultivation. However, if Yun Tianhe continues to act independently, the Snow Fox Clan has decided to vow to fight to the death with Yun Tianhe.
Standing outside the mountain gorge, the snow fox, with fur as white as snow, let out a couple of soft calls, indicating to Yuntianhe that this gorge was the place it had mentioned.
Uh. This mountain stream is somewhat strange Why is there a hint of metallic essence mixed in the spiritual energy? Walking in the increasingly dense mist of the somewhat eerie mountain stream, stepping on the large fragments of stone beneath his feet, Yun Tianhe couldn't help but furrow his brows
Not right ~ This mountain gorge is dangerous! Feeling the increasingly strong metallic power permeating the entire gorge, Yun Tianhe, alert to the crisis, immediately sensed the danger and did not dare to linger, wanting to leave the gorge quickly
What is this crystal? Yun Tianhe discovered that the crystal gifted by the Snow Fox clan actually contains mist, indicating that it is evidently of considerable value
Yuntianhe carefully examined the handwriting of the snow fox. Although there were still many characters whose meanings he could not decipher, he was able to grasp the general ideas expressed by the snow fox through analysis.
The detestable Snow Fox clan has actually deceived me into coming here! If I miraculously survive, I will not spare you! At this moment, Yun Tianhe truly understands what it means to be as cunning as a fox
Uh. Snow Foxes! Yun Tianhe found himself standing before dozens of snow foxes, each the size of a fierce tiger. While he remained secretly vigilant, the largest among them, with fur as white as snow and devoid of any impurities, slowly approached, extending its forelimb to tap on the ground, which was covered in distorted characters.
The largest in size, the snow-white snow fox nodded and softly called out twice, leading Yuntianhe to dash into the vast green mountains.
The chaotic stone forest cultivated by Yun Tianhe is the breeding ground of the Snow Fox clan. Due to Yun Tianhe's extensive absorption of the mountain spiritual energy required by the Snow Fox clan, it has already posed a threat to their reproduction and survival. Therefore, the Snow Fox clan requests that Yun Tianhe refrain from disturbing them in the future and not disclose the location of their breeding ground.
However, with Yun Tianhe's current strength, he is still insufficient to withstand the destructive power of the raging thunder attacks. When several bolts of furious lightning struck Yun Tianhe, who was unable to dodge in time, he immediately felt as if the sky had darkened and the earth had collapsed, his head felt like it was being pierced by needles, and he instantly lost all sensation.
Boom, boom, boom ~ At that moment, a series of thunderous roars echoed through the dark clouds enveloping the entire mountain gorge. A thunderbolt, as thick as a water barrel, struck down with devastating force not far in front of Yun Tianhe, blocking his path forward.
At this moment, the sky gradually darkened, and the vast expanse of dark clouds obscured the mountain gorge of Yuntian River. Yuntian River distinctly felt a hazy force enveloping the entire gorge.
