Chapter 147 The Small Town Within the Storm
"Those strange birds seem to have stopped chasing us." Nan Jue listened to the sounds behind him; the strange birds hadn't pursued them.
"It seems they also know how to avoid direct confrontation," Mo Fan said.
"What if they're waiting for us outside? We can't hold out for long in this lightning storm. The wind is draining our magic power. We can't keep Lu Jie using the wooden barrier forever, can we?" Jiang Yu said.
They were at their wits' end and could only hide in the wooden barrier created by Lu Jie to discuss their options. But this was not a long-term solution. Who knew what kind of temper this lightning storm would have? If it went berserk, they would all be doomed.
"You have the nerve to say that? If you hadn't led us astray, we wouldn't have been chased so badly by these strange birds!" Zu Jiming pointed at Jiang Yu and cursed.
"Jiang Yu, you have to take full responsibility for this!" Li Kaifeng and Mu Tingying also complained.
Jiang Yu fell silent. Seeing that the group was starting to blame each other, and unable to come up with any solutions for the time being, everyone could only sit on the ground in silence.
At this moment, Mo Fan suddenly got up and walked deeper into the lightning storm. Seeing this, Ai Jiangtu couldn't help but say, "Don't act rashly."
"Old Ai, haven't you heard that the bigger the waves, the more expensive the fish? I think the good stuff must be further in," Mo Fan said. If it weren't for this damned Condensed Evil Pearl constantly leading him in that direction, he wouldn't have made up this excuse.
Ai Jiangtu frowned slightly. Since they came in, they hadn't found anything good. You said there were good things deeper in the Lightning Storm? Who would believe that!
"Then we'll stay here. You all go treasure hunting and be careful," Ai Jiangtu said after weighing the pros and cons.
They exchanged glances, and in the end, seven people went out, while the others hid in the wooden barrier created by Lu Jie, which could only be broken by attacks stronger than high-level magic.
After making preparations, Lu Jie and his group of six continued into the lightning storm, where the winds were even stronger, strong enough to shake even warrior-level creatures.
The lightning became more and more frequent, striking right in front of everyone every now and then, sending chills down their spines.
"The lightning ahead is too dense," Jiang Yu said.
The further in you go, the denser the lightning becomes. The deep yellow lightning ahead flashes frequently, tearing through the wind barrier and almost forming a warning net, pressing down on those trying to approach.
"Don't you guys think this yellow lightning looks familiar?" Mo Fan suddenly said.
"A restriction." Lu Jie nodded.
The forbidden lightning is usually yellow, and they have seen such dense interweaving lightning before, at the Higashi-no ...
"That means these lightning bolts are not natural but man-made," Mu Nujiao said.
"That must be it."
"So you're curious about what's inside the barrier?" Mo Fan asked.
The presence of man-made restrictions within the storm suggests that someone intends to lock away the secrets at the heart of the storm. But what secrets could possibly need to be locked within this terrifying storm? This undeniably piqued everyone's curiosity.
"This is a very ancient lightning-type restriction. Let's go, let's keep going!" Nan Jue was even more eager than Mo Fan, and actually took the lead and walked at the front.
With Lu Jie and Zhao Manyan providing dual protection, they successfully reached the restricted area filled with yellow lightning.
From the outside, the entire storm appears black, obscuring the color of the lightning and giving a sense of destruction. However, upon entering, one discovers that the truly dense lightning is actually these forbidden lightning bolts.
"Can you undo it?" Lu Jie asked. He wasn't good at this. He could make the restrictions, and it wasn't impossible for him to undo them, but it would take more time.
"Yes, we can. We can use the clues from those ruins, but it will take some time," Nan Jue replied earnestly. She was quite knowledgeable in this area.
Then Nan Jue began to lift the restriction, and everyone watched from the side, not daring to speak, quietly waiting for Nan Jue to lift the restriction.
Time passed second by second, and after an unknown amount of time, Nan Jue finally stood up and said, "This restriction is too ancient. I can only unlock part of it; I really can't unlock the rest."
"So what do we do now? We can't just walk in like this, can we?" Zhao Manyan asked.
After he finished speaking, Nan Jue did not say anything, but just looked at him quietly.
"No way, we're really going to just walk right in?"
"You're right, we have no choice but to go in," Nan Jue said.
"Can't we go back the way we came?" Jiang Yu said.
"You'll have no nerve to go back if you didn't find anything. Aren't you afraid they'll laugh at you?"
"……Oh well."
They then went straight in, and after wandering around for a while, the number of forbidden lightning bolts decreased. After passing through a waterfall curtain and encountering some resistance, the view ahead suddenly opened up.
A vast expanse of green space and a sea of flowers, a scene as beautiful as an oil painting, suddenly appeared before everyone's eyes, leaving them all stunned.
"Look, there's a city," Zhao Manyan said, pointing further ahead.
At the end of the sea of flowers and green space, there is indeed a small town. The paint on the surface is very bright, and it does not have that old feeling. It is located in such a picturesque place, like a fantasy fairyland!
"How is this possible? We clearly entered the eye of the storm, so how could there be such a large space that looks like a paradise on earth?" Jiang Shaoxu asked incredulously.
"This is a separate space. It seems we've found the real ancient city ruins," Lu Jie said.
Everyone walked through the green spaces and seas of flowers to arrive at this ancient city.
"This is probably the oldest city in South America; there's even this ancient floral emblem at the entrance!" Jiang Shaoxu said, pointing to the sign in front of the gate.
"You also know about the history of South America?" Mo Fan asked in surprise.
"Please, I'm not that knowledgeable, I just find this floral emblem familiar," Jiang Shaoxu said.
"Could this be Li Fan?" Mu Nujiao asked in surprise.
"Huh, I didn't expect Jiaojiao to know about Li Fanhua." Jiang Shaoxu looked at Mu Nujiao, surprised that she also knew about Li Fanhua.
"No, I just happened to see it when I was looking through some documents before," Mu Nujiao said.
Jiang Shaoxu nodded and then explained some information about the Li Fan Flower.
The fact that flowers and herbs could be used in place of mind magic was something everyone had never heard of before, and they all found it quite novel.
Afterwards, everyone dispersed to search for the treasures left behind in this ancient ruined city.
