Ye Tian followed the old man, Black Flame, and the others around the big tree and headed towards the left. On the way, Ye Tian asked with some curiosity, "Dao Friend Yang, why are you guys so frightened when you hear about the Lightning Gathering Pond? Could it be that the Lightning Gathering Pond is really that dangerous? "
"Ai, Fellow Daoist, you are a human cultivator, so you don't know much about our Savage Forest. This Lightning Gathering Pool is quite famous in our 100,000 miles of the Wilderness." Ai, Fellow Daoist, you are a human cultivator, and you don't know much about our Savage Forest. The lightning in the middle of the Lightning Gathering Pool is abnormally dense; even Loose Immortals wouldn't dare to rashly enter. Thus, even if we knew that there are stone flowers nearby, we wouldn't dare to go gather them. " The old man sighed.
"So that's how it is. Since it's so dangerous, why do you all want to put yourselves at risk? Even if the Stone Tribe is powerful, you all can leave this area. Is there still no place to settle down in this hundred thousand li of the Boorish Desolate?" Ye Tian asked.
Sigh, it's not easy to find a place to stay in this Savage Forest. Even though Stone Clan requires us to hand in flowers every year in exchange for a place to live, we are still very free to do so. Furthermore, we are descendants of ancient demons and do not wish to be restricted in other places. The old man said helplessly.
Ye Tian didn't say anything more upon hearing this. He immediately followed the elder and the others as they walked forward about three to four kilometers. They then heard the rumbling of thunder in front of them. Was it a loud sound?
"Fellow daoists, the Lightning Gathering Pool is up ahead. Although this old man has gone deep in it, I am still quite familiar with the outskirts. I know of those places where there is less lightning. Fellow daoists, please follow my footsteps closely in order to avoid any mishaps." The old man heard the peals of thunder in front of him, and he stopped to speak to the crowd.
"Hehe, Uncle Yang, don't worry, you have a sense of propriety. Nothing will happen to you." Black Bear giggled and said.
Seeing this, the old man said no more and continued to lead the group forward. After walking for about seven to eight kilometers, a rumbling sound suddenly rang out. A ray of violet lightning came crashing down, striking directly at Blackbear's feet. The sudden change was too sudden and no one was prepared for it. The black bear was so frightened that it immediately jumped up.
"Aiya, my god, you scared me to death! I had heard that the lightning surrounding this Lightning Gathering Pool was powerful before, but I didn't believe it at the start. Now, I know that if I was struck by it, even if I had thick skin, I would still smoke." Black Bear muttered with some fear.
The path I'm looking for is one where there's less lightning. You have a rough skin and thick flesh, yet you were not injured when you were violently beaten up by fellow Daoist Ye. This little lightning has already frightened you. The old man could not help but scold when he saw Black Bear's appearance.
When Black Bear heard this, he scratched his head in embarrassment and obediently followed the old man. Ye Tian could tell that whether it was the Black Flame Brothers, Black Bear, or the others, they all respected this old man. As long as this old man spoke, they would obediently carry out his orders.
"My fellow daoists, this is the perimeter of the Lightning Gathering Pond. From time to time, there might be lightning strikes, and the lightning here is without warning, so everyone here is extremely fast. Everyone, be careful. The lightning is too dense and powerful, so there's no need for us to go. " As the old man spoke, he walked to the side.
Ye Tian and the others hurriedly followed behind the old man. They discovered that there were no trees around the Lightning Gathering Pool, and the surroundings were filled with a layer of faint purple smoke. Although it was very faint, it still affected one's visibility.
Just as Ye Tian was considering what the Lightning Gathering Pool looked like, a bolt of lightning as thick as an arm came crashing down without any warning. Everyone was shocked when they saw this. The old man originally wanted to warn Ye Tian, but before he could say anything, the lightning directly struck his head.
A wisp of green smoke immediately rose from the top of Ye Tian's head. At this moment, Ye Tian finally reacted, only to see that he was somewhat puzzled as he touched the top of his head, only to discover that apart from his slightly parched hair, there was nothing else out of the ordinary.
When everyone saw this, they stared blankly at Ye Tian. After a long while, the old man walked up to Ye Tian and said softly, "Fellow Ye, are you alright?"
When Ye Tian heard this, he was surprised, but he immediately smiled and said, "It's fine. What's wrong?"
This is too godly. You must know that the cultivators of our Savage Forest would at least suffer light injuries if they were struck by this lightning. Could it be that because Fellow is not one of us, the lightning is useless to you? But that's also not right. " Black Bear exclaimed in surprise.
"Hehe, Fellow Black Bear, you must be joking. I only practiced some Lightning element. Oh right, Fellow Yang, didn't the Stone Clan's messenger say that there were stone flowers near the Lightning Gathering Pond?" Why didn't we notice it when we went around in a circle? " Ye Tian laughed.
"I don't know either. I should go even further in." The old man replied.
As a result, the crowd followed behind the old man and continued to wander around the outskirts of the Lightning Gathering Pool. Soon, Hei Ming was the first to discover a few flowers.
After a while, Ye Tian also found a stone flower. Ye Tian put the stone flower in his hand and probed it with his divine sense, then immediately discovered that this petrified stone actually contained a dense earth-attribute energy. It should be when it grew, that the stone flower absorbed the earthen energy.
"Don't tell me that the Stone Clan wants these demi-humans to hand over the Stone Flower? Although the Earth attribute power that was transformed from the Earth attribute power is abnormally fierce, the Stone Clan must have used a special technique to absorb it." Ye Tian looked at the stone in his hand as he muttered.
Everyone searched for a while. Although they found some flowers made of stone, there weren't many flowers. However, the closer they got to the lightning pool, the more lightning they found.
Ye Tian smiled when he saw this and said, "Fellow Daoists, it's best not to go any further in. The lightning's might is getting stronger and stronger, so how about this? If you trust me, then I'll go in and help you search for the stone flower."
It was just that he felt that in order to find wood essence in Savage Forest for the first time, he would need to subdue and use some of the demonic beasts in Savage Forest. This was just an opportunity for him to win the favor of these demonic beasts.
"Asking fellow Daoist to take the risk for us isn't that good, right?" Hearing this, the old man's face lit up, but he still pretended to hesitate as he spoke.
"Hehe! Fellow Daoists, if I were your friend on this night, then there would be no need to speak any more kind words. Let's settle this matter. Please just wait outside. I will be back soon." Ye Tian laughed.
"Then I'll be troubling you." Hearing this, the old man hurriedly bowed.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Yang." As Ye Tian spoke, he left the Three-eyed Poison Wolf with the others before walking in alone.
"Everyone, since Fellow Ye wants to help us find the stone flower, then we will patiently wait here. I believe Fellow Ye will not disappoint us." With that, the old man walked outside, found a place to sit down cross-legged, and began to meditate.
