Chapter 24: The Dejected Escape Duo

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Just as Fang Xuan was searching for the strange lightning, Shen Yuechao and Sun Ming also entered the hinterland of Thunder Island.

At this moment, the two of them were in an extremely sorry state. Even with the enhancement of the Thunder Resistance Potion, they were still tortured by the Thunder From Worms of all sizes.

Shen Yuechao was still fine. Although he was also assigned a four-star mission, he could still withstand it with his high level. Sun Ming’s hair was already standing on end, and a few pieces of his bare skin had already turned black. He was about to be roasted.

“Alright, there’s only the boss segment left. You can’t hold on anymore, right? If you can’t, teleport back first. I’ll deal with it here.”

When Sun Ming heard Shen Yuechao’s words, he gritted his teeth. Damn it, we’ve already come this far, and we’re about to see the bright moon. How can you bear to stop now? You, Shen Yuechao, want to take all the benefits for yourself? Dream on!

“How, how is that possible? I definitely have to follow in Brother Shen’s footsteps. Even if I die on Thunder Island with Brother Shen today, it will be worth it.”

“Good kid, don’t get stage fright when you meet the boss.”

“Hehe, that won’t happen. Besides, it’s been half a day and we haven’t even seen the boss’s shadow. How can we be so unlucky…”

Before Sun Ming could finish speaking, the sky of the entire Thunder Island slowly darkened.

A sinister dark cloud slowly gathered above the two of them. One could vaguely see a blue heart-like shadow flickering inside.

“This, this is…”

“This is the strange lightning, the thing hidden in the clouds. Don’t act like you haven’t seen the world.”

At this moment, Sun Ming’s intestines were green with regret. He wished he could slap himself.

He was just saying a few words. His injuries from the battle with the Thunder From Worm had yet to recover, and now he was going to fight the boss directly… Before he could think further, the dark clouds above changed again.

The dark clouds flickered for a moment, and a fierce bolt of lightning descended from the sky and struck Shen Yuechao.

The latter immediately reacted and placed his hands in front of him. An energy shield appeared out of thin air and withstood the attack. However, a purple-black spot of light appeared on the shield and quickly shattered, sending the two of them flying dozens of meters away.

The strange lightning above seemed to be interested in this human who could block his attack. It slowly floated down and separated from the dark clouds above.

Fortunately, Shen Yuechao could be considered one of the best among the younger generation. He had seen some storms and waves. Even at this moment, he was not too flustered. He hurriedly summoned his huge ancient mammoth beast. On the other side, Sun Ming was also wrapped in flames, but he was blocked by Shen Yuechao.

“No, this strange lightning is too strong. If you go up, you’ll be giving your head away. Stay at the back obediently.”

The latter was obviously a little teary-eyed. Clearly, he did not expect Shen Yuechao to have such a side.

The strange lightning did not give them any more time to breathe. It did not have a physical form. It was just a blue ball of light. Looking at it from afar, even their eyes hurt.

Shen Yuechao hesitated for a moment before the ball of light appeared beside him.

Then, a wail resounded in the forest.

The lightning bypassed Shen Yuechao and gave Sun Ming a tight hug.

The latter immediately trembled and fell to the ground, the flames on his body extinguished.

“Beast!”

Shen Yuechao shouted loudly. He clenched his fists and took the initiative to attack the strange lightning.

However, he had the will but not the strength. For the ancient mammoth, what it lacked the most was speed. Before it could reach five feet of the strange lightning, it saw the latter disappear in a flash.

Cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Shen Yuechao knew that he might have been too careless this time.

However, he knew that fear in battle was the most torturous, so he did not think about this. With a roar, his entire body emitted a bloodthirsty red light.

In the next moment, the area of dozens of meters around him was swept clean. Even Sun Ming, who was unconscious on the ground, did not escape this attack. It was just that he deliberately held back and did not exert strength in Sun Ming’s direction.

It was clearly an indiscriminate attack with a high area of effect damage.

However, this attack also severely depleted Shen Yuechao’s energy. In the next moment, he sat on the ground and panted heavily.

This time, he could only use it once a day. However, the strange lightning was naturally agile, so its defense could not be very strong. If he was hit, he would definitely die or be crippled.

The number on the token did not change for a long time, and Shen Yuechao’s heart gradually turned cold.

Sure enough, in the next moment, he saw that a few meters above him, the strange lightning was floating quietly, as if it was mocking him. The storm-like lightning attacked him like a fist.

Shen Yuewei dodged the strange lightning from left to right and kept attacking, but overall, he was still hit more times.

He picked up Sun Ming, who was lying on the ground, and used up the last bit of energy to inject into the token. Then, the two of them turned into a stream of light and disappeared. It was obvious that they had fled back to the guild in a panic.

On the other side, when Fang Xuan saw the dark cloud phenomenon, he knew that something unexpected must have happened here, so he quickly rushed over.

When he arrived, he saw two streams of light flying towards the teleportation array. Coupled with the strange lightning in front of him, he could roughly guess the situation of the battle just now.

The strange-shaped lightning suddenly turned around. Although it could completely differentiate between organs, Fang Xuan understood that it was staring at him, who was hiding behind the tree.

“The little thing’s perception is quite strong.”

He simply stopped pretending and swaggered out.

He remembered reading in the library that the weakness of the strange lightning was in the abdomen, but there was a dense lightning net protecting it. Ordinary methods could not approach it at all.

Fang Xuan’s eyes burned as he stared at the part below the ball where the lightning was so violent that it distorted the air. He was certain that this was his abdomen.

Ning Lanqing stood on a tree a hundred meters away, watching the battle with all her might. She was also secretly worried for Fang Xuan.

After all, all cultivators knew how difficult it was to deal with the strange lightning. Now that the two of them were about to fight, how could she not be nervous?

Ning Lanqing had already made up her mind. If Fang Xuan couldn’t hold on, she would take him away no matter what.

However, now was not the time. Since Fang Xuan had killed the Thunder From Worm so easily and walked on the Thunder Island as if it was flat ground, he must have had some means. Coupled with the phenomenon in the Thunder Forest previously… She increasingly felt that Fang Xuan was definitely not simple, so she also wanted to see what method Fang Xuan had to escape.

If Fang Xuan really could not hold on any longer, she would immediately rush to the battlefield and use the token to teleport the two of them back.

Although that was the case, she was still quite far away from the battle. She did not know if she could make it in time.
