Old Five is a Goose.
Chapter 140 Quite Frightened
Mo Wuji noticed that many cultivators who rushed in with him subconsciously slowed down, probably using their cultivation to resist the needle-like pricking.
This needle-like pain also affected Mo Wuji, but he did not use his cultivation to resist it. Instead, he accelerated his speed. He had experienced too much pain and suffering, and this kind of pain could not affect him. His cultivation level was already lower than others, and if he used his cultivation to resist the pain at this time, he might be the last one to rush through the channel.
Not only did Mo Wuji not resist, but his speed became faster and faster, leaving the figures of many cultivators in the channel behind him.
In the eyes of many cultivators entering the Five Elements Wasteland, Mo Wuji should be one of those guys with extremely deep cultivation, so when Mo Wuji rushed over, they all subconsciously gave way.
After rushing for nearly an incense stick of time, Mo Wuji's vision suddenly widened. He saw hundreds of figures scattered around, and knew that he had passed through the channel and truly entered the Five Elements Wasteland.
Although there was still fog around, the fog was much thinner. In the distance, he could see vaguely visible mountains and forests, giving people a feeling of emptiness and desolation. The rich spiritual energy made Mo Wuji sigh that no wonder there were so many precious spiritual objects here. This was just entering the Five Elements Wasteland, and the spiritual energy was already so rich.
Mo Wuji did not stop for a moment, chose a direction, and quickened his pace to leave quickly. In the square outside the Five Elements Wasteland, no one dared to do anything to him. But this was the Five Elements Wasteland, and if he was killed, it would be no different from the death of an ant.
……
After choosing a direction and rushing for a whole day and night, Mo Wuji suddenly stopped. It wasn't that he couldn't run anymore, but he suddenly thought that if he ran too far, would he not be able to find his way back?
Mo Wuji recalled it and still remembered the way he came, but whether he could remember it after three months was a problem. Thinking of this, Mo Wuji quickly took out paper and pen and wanted to roughly draw the route he came from.
As soon as he lowered his head, he saw the bracelet on his wrist, which had a clear direction indicating arrow. The arrow was pointing in the direction he had just come from. Mo Wuji changed direction, but the arrow still pointed to where he came from.
Mo Wuji breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that this thing was even more useful than a compass. It seemed that this bracelet was not only a certificate to enter the Five Elements Wasteland, but also something he would rely on to go out in the future. This bracelet could clearly point out the direction he came from, which meant that there was also a directional array controlling it.
Mo Wuji was a Rank 3 Mortal Pill Refiner, and his cultivation speed was also astonishingly fast. However, he had no master at all, and he was proficient in six of the seven apertures regarding things like weapon refining, arrays, and talismans, leaving only one aperture completely clueless.
The arrays he had come into contact with before were either large sect protection arrays or large teleportation arrays. The smallest one was the light board teleportation array of the Weidao Pavilion. No matter which array it was, Mo Wuji had no opportunity or did not dare to use his spiritual will to examine it.
Now that the bracelet in his hand also had a control array, Mo Wuji immediately became interested. His spiritual will carefully penetrated into the bracelet, and then he saw dense and crisscrossing patterns.
These should be the legendary array patterns, but unfortunately, Mo Wuji couldn't understand a single array pattern and could only withdraw his spiritual will.
"Crack" a loud sound, followed by a flash of light interrupted Mo Wuji's focus on the bracelet. As soon as Mo Wuji raised his head, there was another loud sound, and a thick arc of lightning fell from the sky.
The whole sky darkened. After this thick arc of lightning fell, countless tiny arcs of lightning fell continuously.
Was it going to rain? Mo Wuji looked around and immediately found a not-so-small mountain in the distance. Whether it rained or not, he would first find a place to hide and sleep before sorting out the specific situation here.
With the urging of his Yuan Qi, Mo Wuji quickly came to the bottom of the mountain, chose a cliff, and began to climb up directly. After climbing nearly twenty meters high, Mo Wuji took out his sharp knife and began to dig a cave.
This was Mo Wuji's experience. Digging a hole in the cliff could avoid being invaded by poisonous insects, and it was also much safer than setting up a tent on the ground.
Mo Wuji was very fast. In just one hour, he had dug out a place big enough for him to sleep and rest. He took off his coat and bracelet and put them aside. After entering the Five Elements Wasteland, he had been running for a whole day and night and was also a little tired. Now that it was going to rain, he might as well sleep for a while during the rain before talking about it.
The lightning strikes continued, and the booming sounds continued to come. Mo Wuji had been lying down for a while, but he did not hear the sound of rain falling, which made him feel a little strange. He had seen it before when it only thundered and did not rain, but he had never seen it before where it thundered for so long without a single drop of rain.
Mo Wuji got up with some surprise and looked far away from the entrance of the cliff cave he had dug out.
"Boom!" Another thunderclap sounded, and what made Mo Wuji's soul fly out of his body was that he saw a huge demonic beast in the distance rushing up and punching the thick arc of lightning.
The thunderclap blasted the demonic beast away, and it fell into a huge deep pit.
Even if Mo Wuji was stupid, he now knew that it was not going to rain, but a demonic beast was undergoing tribulation.
He had come into contact with Yuan Dan realm experts, such as Yin Qianqian, and had never heard of tribulation. This meant that there was no lightning tribulation in the Triple Heaven Realm of the Earthly Realm.
Now he saw the demonic beast undergoing tribulation. How powerful should this demonic beast be? It was estimated that it was not inferior to Palace Master Feng of the Wentian Academy. If he fell into the hands of this demonic beast, would he still be alive?
Leave quickly, this was Mo Wuji's only thought. Before he could come down from the cliff, he saw the demonic beast, which had been blasted into the deep pit by lightning, crawling up and rushing towards him.
This demonic beast must be unable to withstand the lightning tribulation, so it wanted to avoid it, Mo Wuji regretted it greatly. If he had known that the lightning strikes here were for a demonic beast undergoing tribulation, he would rather have been rained on than stay here and dig some damn cliff cave.
"Boom...crack crack crack..." This time, three consecutive arcs of lightning struck down. The first two arcs of lightning struck the demonic beast covered in tan mud, once again opening up two deep wounds that could see the bone. The third arc of lightning was once again blocked by the demonic beast with its huge fist. Obviously, the demonic beast could not avoid the arcs of lightning from the lightning tribulation at all. Wherever it fled, the arcs of lightning followed.
Mo Wuji finally saw clearly that the tan mud on the demonic beast's body was completely made up of the demonic beast's blood and mud. This demonic beast was covered in scars and was severely struck by lightning.
Mo Wuji suddenly thought that if this demonic beast failed to overcome the tribulation and was eventually struck to death, wouldn't he be making a fortune?
Before Mo Wuji could even turn this thought around, "Roar!" The demonic beast let out a terrifying roar, and then leaped up, grabbing two people at the same time.
"Boom!" Another arc of lightning struck down, and the demonic beast threw these two people out directly. The lightning illuminated the pale faces of these two people, and Mo Wuji's heart skipped a beat. Before entering the Five Elements Wasteland channel, he seemed to have seen these two people before.
"Crack! Crack crack..." The arcs of lightning fell on these two people, and these two people hardly played any role in blocking them and were directly blasted into fragments by the arcs of lightning.
A residual arc of lightning landed at the entrance of the cave where Mo Wuji was, blasting away a large part of the cliff cave entrance that Mo Wuji had dug out.
At this time, where did Mo Wuji dare to have any luck? Continuing to stay here was definitely waiting for death. At this moment, arcs of lightning were falling continuously, and the demonic beast was busy dealing with the arcs of lightning. This was a good opportunity for him to escape.
Thinking of this, Mo Wuji jumped directly from the cliff that was nearly twenty meters high and fled like a flight.
After sensing that the demonic beast was not chasing after him, Mo Wuji ran even more wildly. Half an incense stick later, Mo Wuji was attracted by a peculiar fragrance, and he stopped subconsciously. Because this fragrance made his whole body's spirit refreshed, just like being thirsty for several days and then drinking a cup of clear and sweet spring water.
Then he saw a beautiful waterfall, and in the pool below the waterfall, several beautiful flowers were floating on the water. Even though he was still some distance away from the waterfall, the rich spiritual energy made him feel comfortable.
"Is this lotus?" Mo Wuji's heart stirred, and then he was ecstatic. Just the fragrance of the flowers made him feel relaxed and happy. If he could dig up the lotus roots in the pool, it might be even more advanced than his Treasure Blood Lotus Root. He urgently needed high-level lotus root silk, only high-level lotus root silk could allow his meridians to expand more.
Even though the arcs of lightning in the distance were still roaring, Mo Wuji did not hesitate to fly directly into the pool under the waterfall.
As soon as he entered the water, terrifying coldness directly pierced into Mo Wuji's bone marrow, almost freezing Mo Wuji stiff in this pool. It was also because of this coldness that Mo Wuji's greedy brain instantly calmed down.
This lotus root must be a treasure. How could such a treasure not have a demonic beast in this place? The only reason was that this lotus root had an owner.
Thinking of this, Mo Wuji felt even colder all over. He had just been looking for death on the cliff, and now he had come to this pool to look for death again.
That's not right. If there was a demonic beast guarding here, then the demonic beast would have come over when he approached the pool, how could he have waited until now?
Could it be that this territory belonged to the demonic beast undergoing tribulation just now? Thinking of this, Mo Wuji shuddered, and the originally icy pool water froze him to the point of almost freezing.
At this point, Mo Wuji was almost certain that the territory of this place belonged to that tribulation demonic beast. He was looking for death and found someone else's lair.
Leave quickly, this thought flashed through Mo Wuji's mind. Mo Wuji quickly discarded this thought. Not only did he not leave, but he plunged into the depths of the pool. If it was a blessing, it was not a curse, and if it was a curse, it could not be avoided. Besides, he really needed high-level lotus root silk. Since he had encountered it, if he returned empty-handed, he would be sorry for being scared for so long.
Rushing to the bottom of the pool as quickly as possible, and then digging through the mud with the most crude means. A few minutes later, Mo Wuji dug away six sections of lotus root in a row, before quickly rushing towards the surface of the pool. It wasn't that he didn't want to dig anymore, but he was really too frozen to hold on. If he continued to dig, Mo Wuji suspected that he would be frozen to death at the bottom of the pool.
