Originally, the experts who had already rushed to the vicinity of the campsite could only leave reluctantly at the old Thunderstorm's shout. They all possessed considerable strength and could temporarily withstand the invasion of the Black Gust Wind. However, they knew that if the old Thunderstorm launched an attack, it would be beyond their ability to resist.
Suddenly, the Black Gust Wind gradually thinned out, and just as everyone heaved a sigh of relief, streaks of bluish-white lightning appeared in the gale. Instantly, dozens of cultivators were struck, trembling all over as they were swept up in the gale, like leaves in the autumn wind, drifting and flying.
Lei Xingfeng suddenly sensed a large amount of lightning power in the air. This power made him feel a chill in his heart. After all, he was a practitioner of lightning, naturally immune to its damage and capable of absorbing external lightning power. Even so, he felt an immense threat, let alone the other cultivators.
Thunderstorm's expression was a bit strange. He also sensed the power of lightning, but this lightning power felt unusually peculiar to him. He could clearly feel that this power was even more advanced than the Seal Power he controlled. This was a feeling he had never had before. If not for the current situation, he would really want to sit down and cultivate, absorbing the lightning here to see what changes it would bring.
Suddenly, countless lightning bolts struck the Thunder Seal of the old Thunderstorm, one after another. In an instant, dozens of lightning bolts struck the Thunder Seal. Since the Thunder Seal was suspended above the campsite, the entire camp was illuminated, as if the Thunder Seal had replaced the sunlight.
Thunderstorm was very nervous. Soon, he realized something was wrong because he noticed the Thunder Seal was rapidly changing. He didn't know if this change was good or bad, but he understood that his Thunder Seal was different. Fortunately, the Thunder Seal was still under his control, so he had no time to worry about it. At worst, he could re-form the Thunder Seal. Since he learned to absorb a large amount of heavenly lightning during thunderstorms, forming a Thunder Seal was no longer a difficult task.
Therefore, Thunderstorm did not retract the Thunder Seal but instead directed it to absorb a large amount of the incoming lightning.
Lei Xingfeng was also quietly absorbing, but the amount he absorbed was very small because this was not a place for cultivation. He could only rely on the operation of the Thunder Wheel Force to absorb a little of the stray lightning. As a result, Jin Dapang and Wen Yan, who were holding hands with him, suffered. They felt their arms go numb, and their hair stood up uncontrollably. Jin Dapang and Wen Yan didn't dare to let go, so they trembled and said, "A Feng, what are you doing?"
Wen Yan also said, "You... I'm numb..."
Lei Xingfeng was puzzled, "Your mother?"
Wen Yan was stunned, "I'm numb!"
Lei Xingfeng said, "Yeah, what's wrong with your mother?"
Wen Yan was almost driven mad. If they weren't so familiar, she would have really wanted to punch this guy. She rolled her eyes and said, "You're numbing me..."
Due to the lightning transmission, neither Wen Yan nor Jin Dapang could resist the lightning, so Wen Yan's speech was unclear. No wonder Lei Xingfeng misunderstood. He said, "I didn't curse you..."
Wen Yan, enraged, headbutted Lei Xingfeng. She said angrily, "Let go!" At this moment, she didn't care anymore. The tingling sensation was driving her crazy.
Bang!
Wen Yan's head hit Lei Xingfeng's shoulder. Caught off guard, Lei Xingfeng let go of her hand. He said, "What's wrong with you?"
Jin Dapang, however, reacted and couldn't help but chuckle, "She means 'numb'... Wen Yan, am I right?"
Wen Yan nodded vigorously, "A Feng is deaf, all over the place... it's infuriating!"
Tairang said sternly, "You two... hold hands! This is not the time to bicker!"
Lei Xingfeng obediently extended his hand. He said, "Don't worry, I won't numb you anymore!" He reined in the Thunder Wheel Force. Although he continued to absorb lightning, he was careful not to make his companions uncomfortable.
Lightning was even faster, more ruthless, and more cruel. When lightning struck, it basically turned people to ashes, leaving almost no residue. As the gale passed, they almost disappeared completely. One after another, cultivators died. Even the True Humans took out their most powerful skills to resist, and no one dared to be careless. Those who were careless all died.
Wen Yan was usually quiet, but if you got to know her, she wasn't so cold. She muttered, "Really annoying..." She reached out to hold Lei Xingfeng's hand, still a bit unhappy.
At this moment, the cultivators who were constantly dodging nearby began to resist, but even the True Humans couldn't withstand such dense lightning. They started to run out. If they continued, they would really die.
The lightning disappeared very suddenly. One second it was thundering and lightning, and the next it was silent. The Black Gust Wind also vanished abruptly.
The old Thunderstorm and Ge Lu shouted simultaneously, "Focus! Be careful!"
The black hole in the sky expanded to several kilometers, but it no longer spewed gales. Instead, countless fine threads floated out. These black threads were like fluff, falling in clumps. No one knew what they were, but both Thunderstorm and Ge Lu were on high alert, and they almost simultaneously retracted their Seals.
Thunderstorm grabbed Lei Xingfeng and shouted, "Dodge on your own, don't let that thing touch you!"
The entire defensive circle immediately collapsed. Thunderstorm kept dodging with Lei Xingfeng. Even though they had an excellent position, some of the black threads still fell. However, they had some room to move.
Fortunately, the threads floated down at a moderate speed. As long as they were careful enough, they could dodge at this position.
Lei Xingfeng was puzzled, "Grandpa, can't we resist this thing?"
The old Thunderstorm said, "We can't resist it. Whoever resists it dies!"
Lei Xingfeng said, "What is it? How do you know, Grandpa?"
Thunderstorm, who had already dodged several clumps of threads, said, "I don't know what it is, but my intuition tells me we can't resist it!"
In other areas, the ground was covered with falling threads. Several hundred people had survived the Black Gust Wind and lightning. Since the sand dunes had been flattened, Lei Xingfeng and the others could clearly see these people desperately fleeing and the threads slowly falling.
Suddenly, a Ten-Wheel Master from Tairang's camp let out a scream. He collided with a clump of threads while dodging, and a large part of his body disappeared silently. He collapsed on the ground, blood flowing rapidly. Tairang shouted angrily, "Everyone, be careful! Whoever is careless will die!" Everyone was trying their best to dodge.
Du Hongchen also grabbed Wen Yan to dodge. Only Jin Dapang had no elder to help him, so he had to rely on himself. His fat face was full of fear, covered in sweat. He dodged left and right, muttering something, but no one noticed him.
The camp was in chaos, with everyone struggling for their lives, not daring to slack off.
The people in the distance were desperately running, but the ground was sand, and they easily got stuck. It was extremely difficult to run quickly. The clumps of threads were already close to the ground, just above the heads of the fleeing people.
One after another, people screamed, and some didn't even have time to scream before being killed by the strange threads. In less than a minute, only a few people were still running on the ground, almost hugging the ground, using all four limbs like mad dogs, but even so, they couldn't escape the area covered by the Wheel Storage Space, and they died one after another.
In Tairang's camp, seven or eight people died, and a few were injured, including Jin Dapang, who had a large piece of flesh on his arm disappear after brushing against a clump of threads.
After about five minutes, the falling threads disappeared, and the surroundings were silent. Except for the people in Tairang's camp, everyone who entered this area was dead. Those not in the best position had no chance of survival.
Yan Wu smiled bitterly, "If those people knew that staying on the periphery meant certain death, they would have attacked our campsite desperately!"
Ge Lu said calmly, "That opportunity was lost after the old Thunderstorm acted!"
Tairang smiled bitterly, sensing Ge Lu's dissatisfaction but unable to explain. He sighed, "Delong and the Scorpion Alliance's team... were wiped out, which saved Ai Shebo's life. He should have gone back to the Scorpion Alliance for help."
The old Thunderstorm said nonchalantly, "It's not a big deal. At worst, we'll fight the Scorpion Alliance. I don't believe they dare to offend me, a wandering soul."
High-level True Humans who acted alone were the most threatening. No force wanted to offend such people, as their revenge could be ruthless and unscrupulous.
Tairang could only smile bitterly, thinking to himself, "You're a lone wanderer, but I have a family. If I were like you, I would be even more crazy."
The old Thunderstorm put down Lei Xingfeng and looked up, his face gradually becoming serious.
Ge Lu also looked up and said, "Heaven, what kind of Wheel Storage Space is this... with so many defenses... this person must have been a super expert in ancient times?"
The old Thunderstorm said softly, "Ge Lu, talk less and do more... they don't understand, coming here... whether it's a blessing or a curse, we don't know."
Lei Xingfeng heard clearly but didn't dare to ask. He had a guess that this ancient Wheel Storage Space might be an incredible treasure, and even the old Thunderstorm might not have guessed it correctly. That's why he brought him here, treating it as a treasure hunt or a training process. More than a treasure hunt, it was likely a way to give him more training. But now, it seemed that this Wheel Storage Space was something extraordinary.
If it was a very rare Wheel Storage Space, then their serious expressions made sense. Even if they obtained this treasure, it could be a big trouble for them.
Because it would attract top or legendary figures.
