I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates

Chapter 585: Chapter 583: The Ghost-Like Enemy Named Thunder_1

The moment they heard this eerie laugh, Lu Xuan and his four companions were on high alert, their Spiritual Senses rapidly searching for the source of the sound.

“I can’t find it!”

A chill ran down Lu Xuan’s spine. Despite his Sea of Consciousness being nurtured by a Fifth Rank Treasure, the “Divine Essence Scroll,” and his practice of the “God Derivation Sutra,” which strengthens the Divine Soul and Spiritual Sense making him stronger than most Foundation Establishment Perfect cultivators, he was still unable to determine the location of that bizarre laughter.

A few breaths later, the laughing sound became louder. From within countless flashes of lightning in the distance, strands of fine lightning began to condense together, gradually revealing a strangely-shaped Strange Beast.

With lips red as vermilion and a peculiar curve at the corners of its mouth, as though constantly sneering, it had silver-white long horns on its head, a pair of large blue fleshed wings, and its surface surfaced with thunder.

The Strange Beast had a weird lump on its waist, resembling a large drum, from which a dull rumbling sound emerged as if formidable thunder was brewing within.

“What is this? A Demon Beast or a Demon Envoy?”

Wang Yanzhong exclaimed in shock.

“Who cares what it is, just take it down directly.”

Lei Zheng snorted coldly, the silver-white thunder patterns on his cheeks brighter, the Thunder Wings on his back spread open carrying a polearm in his hand that turned into a streak of light. With each swing of his weapon, it brought a gust of wind, ferociously striking the peculiar Strange Beast.

At the same time, an old woman with white hair fiercely slammed her cane on the ground, causing pebbles to scatter, and a fierce dragon chant rang out. The cane transformed into a massive Flood Dragon, swift as lightning, rushing towards the peculiar Strange Beast.

The Strange Beast tilted its head to gaze down, displeasure flashed in its eyes, and its strangely long slender arm forcefully struck its large drum-like lump at the waist.

“Boom!”

Thunder erupted, and several thick bolts of lightning danced like silver snakes, striking towards Lu Xuan and the others.

Lu Xuan perceived the changes in the thunder with his Spiritual Sense, and the Qing Helved Shoes under his feet glowed with green light. He evaded the barrel-thick thunderbolt at an unthinkable angle.

The other four also resorted to various means, blocking and neutralizing all the thunderbolts.

When they looked back at the Strange Beast, they discovered that it had disappeared without a trace.

“What’s the deal with that Strange Beast?”

The cyclopean middle-aged man asked doubtfully.

“I’m not sure, I’ve never seen it before. But it repelled my attack with just a casual stroke. Judging by its strength, it’s probably close to Core Formation.”

The white-haired old woman said solemnly.

“We should remain on guard.”

The sudden appearance of the strange Strange Beast made Lu Xuan and the others more alert. The five of them formed a defensive formation and slowly headed towards the other side of the island.

On the other side of the island, there were also some fully mature Thunderstorm Lotuses. Thunder and arcs of electricity were erupting from the leaves, looking extremely unstable.

However, after being reminded by Lu Xuan, Luo Ming and the others had already learned how to pluck the Silver White Lotus Seeds. While staying on their guard, they were gently picking off one Lotus Seed after another.

Afterward, the five of them divided the spoils evenly. Lu Xuan ended up with twenty-two seeds, which, combined with the ones he’d already collected, totaled fifty Thunderstorm Lotus Seeds, a pretty substantial harvest.

“We’ve already exhausted all the valuable resources on this island. Shall we move on to the next island, fellow Daoists?”

Luo Ming asked.

Lu Xuan and the others nodded in agreement. The mysterious Strange Beast, which came and went without a trace, was like a sword hanging over their heads. They couldn’t relax fully and entirely let go of their intentions to explore Thunder Island on their own.

The distance between the islands was not far. Some were several dozens of feet apart while others were a hundred feet or so. There were numerous boulders suspended in the air between them with lightning surging all around.

The five of them carefully stepped onto an island. Just as they were about to search carefully, a sudden gust of wind blew. It seemed as if the island’s prohibition was stimulated in an instant, and the spiritual patterns began to swirl crazily.

Everything before Lu Xuan’s eyes completely changed in an instant. Clouds were rolling, and lightning was flashing.

“It seems we’ve entered a prohibition.”

He swept his Spiritual Sense and found that the range he could sense it had shrunk considerably.

While casting the Pupil Skill, his eyes could see myriad spiritual power circulation routes, complicated and obscure, with no idea where to start.

“The figures of the other friends disappeared in an instant, the situation should not be much different from mine.”

He secretly thought to himself.

To break the prohibition, either use overwhelming force to forcefully break it, or be proficient in the way of formations, find the regularities of the prohibition, find weak points, just like solving a puzzle, following the thread to unravel the mystery, and directly find the key to the problem.

“Although I don’t know much about formations, thankfully I have the Breaking Illusion Eye Technique, I can eliminate many answers detected by the Pupil Skill one by one.”

Lu Xuan thought optimistically.

Out of caution, he released the Void Nightmare Eye, which was whirling about above his head.

The prohibition covers the entire island, the scene presented by the gray-white eye pupil in his hand was no different from what he saw with his own eyes.

While he was constantly trying to break the prohibition in front of him, suddenly, that monstrous laughter like thunder echoed in his ears once again.

Lu Xuan remained calm, holding the fifth-rank Peacock King Sword, the Taiyi Thunder Amulet hidden in his sleeve ready to be launched, and the Earth Spirit Doll at his waist was shaking on his shoulder, very lively.

A few breaths later, perceiving that Lu Xuan did not react at all, the bizarre creature behind the laughter bored itself out from a vast expanse of thunderlight.

Strands of thunderlight gathered together, as if nurtured in the Sea of Thunder.

Its pair of flaming red eyes stared at Lu Xuan curiously, the corners of its mouth maintaining an upward curve, as if scoffing at Lu Xuan for not discovering its trace all along.

They stared at one another for quite a while.

“When it first appeared, this strange creature did not seem to show any aggression, and it seems to be the same now.”

“Perhaps it doesn’t mean any harm to cultivators who appear on Thunder Island?”

Lu Xuan speculated.

“Its body is condensed from thunderlight, I wonder if it would be interested in the Thunderstorm Lotus Seeds which contain pure thunder and lightning power…”

“Could it be that this creature has no way to pick the Thunderstorm Lotus Seeds without causing the Spirit Plant to riot?”

“So, it appears before us, even follows us, simply because it wants something to eat?”

A strange thought flashed across his mind.

“You want to eat this seed?”

A silvery white lotus seed appeared in his hand, and he shook it in front of the creature.

The moment the creature saw the seed, the corners of its mouth curled up even higher and it silently drew closer to Lu Xuan. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

“Then I’ll give you one.”

Lu Xuan used his spiritual power to send the Thunderstorm Lotus Seed flying in front of the strange creature.

The creature opened its mouth, and the silvery-white lotus seed flew into it.

At the moment it swallowed the Thunderstorm Lotus Seed, its blue wings beat quickly on its back, and its body covered with thunderlight became much denser.

“Hahaha, it’s even aroused by eating a lotus seed.”

Lu Xuan couldn’t help but chuckle, his mind focused on the strange creature.

[Thunder, a strange spirit creature nurtured in the endless thunder, having strength close to a Grade 5 Demon Beast. It can turn into thunderlight at any time to make a quick escape, its speed is exceptional, it can control the Thunder Power to attack opponents, and it likes various types of Spirit Thunder and Thunder spirit fruit.]

[It has a peculiar temperament, likes to play tricks on creatures, its aggression is not strong.]

[If you laugh loudly, will you get Spirit Fruits to feed on like many years ago?]
