Chapter 612: Thunderous Roar?
Chapter 612: Thunderous Roar?
Lu Chen retraced his steps, rushing back towards the edge of the Thunder Sea.
He had gathered more than enough emerald spirit thunder and even obtained some rare thunder liquid. With no desire to waste more time in the Thunder Sea, he was eager to return to the safety of his cave abode.
As for the occasional presence of other cultivators in the Thunder Sea, he adhered to the principle of avoiding confrontation whenever possible.
As long as they didn't take the initiative to provoke him, he was content to leave them be, avoiding unnecessary risks for trivial gains.
However, as he navigated the Thunder Sea, he suddenly sensed something amiss.
A sound like surging waves filled his ears.
"Damn, is this the rumored thunder storm?"
Upon entering the Thunderfire Cave, he had heard whispers of occasional thunder storms in the Thunder Sea—countless thunderbolts surging like tidal waves. If one was unfortunate enough to be caught in such a storm, evading it would be nearly impossible, leaving only the option to withstand it with one's physical body or defensive artifacts.
The sound of surging waves grew louder, and within a few breaths, a vast expanse of dazzling white light rushed towards him.
The speed of the white light was too fast, and with no avenue for retreat, Lu Chen considered using the Earth Travel Pearl and the Earth Elemental Secret Manual to burrow into the rocks. However, the layer of rocks in the Thunder Sea was shallow, and in some places, it was almost non-existent.
"Looks like I have no choice but to endure it."
"I hope my luck holds and I can get through this."
Lu Chen looked at the Thunderfire Token in his hand, which was already in a state of disrepair. His thoughts raced.
With a flick of his mind, a mud-yellow puppet appeared before him, rapidly enlarging to envelop Lu Chen within its protective shell.
It was the fifth-grade treasure, the Kun Earth Spirit Puppet, formed by combining five portions of Kun Earth Puppet Essence. It possessed formidable defensive capabilities.
"With this fifth-grade treasure and my physical body, I should be able to withstand the onslaught of the thunder storm. Otherwise, any other Foundation Establishment cultivator who encounters this would only meet a tragic end."
"Since there is a constant stream of Foundation Establishment cultivators venturing into the Thunder Sea, it proves that despite the terror of the thunder storms, there is still a glimmer of hope for survival."
Lu Chen's thoughts raced as he assessed the situation.
In an instant, countless bolts of thunder poured down like a tidal wave, battering Lu Chen's body.
His body immediately turned charred black, but thanks to the restorative power of the Taishang Rhino Meat, he swiftly recovered to his normal state.
A layer of dark yellow spiritual light appeared on the Earth Spirit Puppet, shielding him from the raging storm.
Countless bolts of lightning struck the yellowish-brown spiritual light barrier, and for the moment, Lu Chen resembled a small boat in a storm, bobbing up and down with the thunderous waves but remaining safe.
Just then, a familiar low roar echoed through the thunderous ocean.
The sound exploded like thunder, carrying a hint of urgency.
"Hmm? That mutated Thunderous Roar beast?"
"How did it appear again?"
A puzzled look crossed Lu Chen's face as he sensed the Thunderous Roar beast approaching. He retracted the Earth Spirit Puppet.
In the blink of an eye, the familiar figure of the Thunderous Roar beast appeared before Lu Chen.
Seeing that Lu Chen was unharmed, the beast let out a low roar, its voice carrying a hint of joy.
"You want to take me out of this thunder storm?"
Lu Chen deciphered the beast's intention from its roar.
The Thunderous Roar beast eagerly nodded, indicating that it had absolute confidence in its ability to escape the storm instantly.
"Then I'll have to trouble you."
Although Lu Chen was confident in his ability to survive the thunder storm, he naturally preferred a less strenuous option if available.
The mutated Thunderous Roar beast let out another low roar. Its body surged with endless silver-white thunder light, growing more and more intense until it transformed into a massive silver-white thunderball, enveloping Lu Chen as they sped away.
"What incredible thunder escape technique!"
The thought had barely formed in Lu Chen's mind when he realized that he had already arrived in a new realm.
The unusual Thunderous Roar beast rushed to the forefront, its roar urgent and demanding. It seemed to be explaining Lu Chen's presence and vouching for him.
"He's different from the other cultivators." Lu Chen deciphered this much from the beast's roar.
With the unusual Thunderous Roar beast's continuous reassurance and explanation, the other Thunderous Roar beasts gradually relaxed and chose to trust Lu Chen, their curiosity getting the better of them.
"Greetings, greetings! I come bearing gifts, a token of my respect." Lu Chen took out a large number of Ice and Fire Spirit Fruits from his storage bag and presented them to the Thunderous Roar beasts.
The beasts sniffed the fruits cautiously before devouring them, their gazes softening slightly after tasting the rare treat, a delicacy in the Thunder Sea.
"Where did this little cultivator come from?" Just as Lu Chen was deepening his bond with the beasts, a thunderous voice suddenly rang out, startling him.
His heart skipped a beat as he turned to see a massive beast, akin to a small mountain, approaching silently.
The beast resembled a green bull with a single horn and a single hoof. Its movements were accompanied by raging storms, and its roar was thunderous.
"I am Lu Chen, junior to you," Lu Chen said respectfully. "I apologize for intruding, but I have a connection with one of your Thunderous Roar beasts. It saw me trapped in the thunder storm and took the initiative to help, bringing me here."
Lu Chen pointed to the unusual Thunderous Roar beast, his heart pounding. A beast capable of human speech was at least of the fifth grade. If this was the legendary Lei Xu, or a direct descendant, it might even be of a higher grade.
"You've caused me quite a headache, little one." Lu Chen sighed inwardly.
He knew that with his robust physical body and numerous treasures, he could have survived the thunder storm unscathed. However, this newly-made friend, the unusual Thunderous Roar beast, had sensed his peril and found him in the midst of the storm, using a highly exhausting escape technique to bring him to the Thunderous Roar beasts' territory.
And now, they faced an even greater challenge—a mysterious beast of at least fifth grade, possibly a descendant of the legendary Lei Xu.
"Good intentions might have just brewed a disaster," Lu Chen thought to himself. Despite his concerns, he harbored no resentment towards the unusual Thunderous Roar beast. He understood the risks it had taken to help him, and the current situation was simply an unfortunate turn of events.
"Now, I can only rely on my connection with the Thunderous Roar beast of Lei Xu bloodline and the treasures I possess to get through this predicament," he mused.
Just then, the unusual Thunderous Roar beast scampered happily towards the single-hoofed green bull, its voice a soft murmur, almost like a child seeking comfort.
Seeing this, Lu Chen's anxiety eased considerably.
"So, it's you, little cultivator," the green bull beast said, its voice like rolling thunder. "I've heard about you from this little one. It told me how you fed it and its kin delicious treats."
"A guest is a guest. Make yourself at home for a while," the beast added, its tone surprisingly amiable.
