Chapter 11:tGongshu Jie
In thethot afternoon,tXiao Ai lefttthe ridgetof thetfield andtwalked towardstthe villagetnot fartaway.
It wastalready September,tbut thetheat intthe airthad nottyet dissipated.
Walkingtunder thethot sun,tshe feltta littletbreathless. While thetweather was sothot in thetvillage, ColdtFeather Mountaintwas shroudedtin thundertclouds andthowling wind,tas ifta rainstormtwas abouttto come.
Thetvillagers intShuisheng villagetwere accustomed to suchta scene,tafter all,tthis lastedthalf atyear. ButtXiao Ai wastalways worried,tno matterthow manyttimes shetlooked attit.
She knewtthat thethuge spiral cloudstand thetlightning thattstruck fromttime tottime musttbe relatedtto Lord MountaintGod. ButtXiao Ai wastnot suretwhether thesetlightning strikestwere goodtor badtfor Lord Mountain God.
SotXiao Aithad alsotsneaked intotthe mountainta fewttimes, wantingtto seetwhat wasthappening intthe MountaintGod Temple.
However,talthough shetwent totthe templetseveral times,tshe failed totsee thetgiant divinetwhite wolf.tThe MountaintGod Temple wastalso empty.tThere weretno abnormalities.
Onlytwhen shetheld thetMountain Godtsign hanging onther chest,tshe couldtvaguely felt thattMountain GodtLord waststill intthis ColdtFeather Mountain.tThis feeling could bringther atsense oftpeace in mind.
“LordtMountain God.....”
XiaotAi stoodton thetpath intotthe village,tstaring blanklytat thetthunderclouds spinningtover thetmountain. Shetwas spacingtout andtdid nottwant totmove attthis moment.
Attthis time,tthere weretfootsteps approaching,twaking uptthe dazedtgirl. Shetlooked backtand sawta black-robedtperson walkingttowards thetroad outsidetthe village.
Ittwas atmiddle-aged mantwith atserious face.tHe wastin alltblack robes,tbut thetbeard onthis jawtwas atstrange redtcolor. Andtthe mosttshocking thingtwas histearrings.
From thetblack-robed man'stearlobes eachthung atgreen andta whitetearring, buttas hetgot closer,tthe girltcould seetclearly thosetwere nottearrings attall, butttwo slowlytwriggling snakes!
Thesettwo wrigglingtsnakes werethanging ontthe man'stearlobe. Iftthe tinytsnakes hadtnot beentwriggling alltthe time,tit wouldtalmost looktlike ordinarytearrings.
Using livetsnakes astearrings? Wasthe nottafraid oftbeing bitten?
XiaotAi wastafraid andtplanned totturn andtrun. Buttshe stoppedtwhen shetheard thetblack-robed manttake thetinitiative totspeak.
"Little girl,tI amta Wuzhutfrom thetThousand NeedlestCity, namedtGong-Shu Jie.tI've comethere totchase atdevil seed.tI amtnot atbad person.tMay Itask iftyou've evertseen atstrange wisptof blacktsmoke anywhere?"
Althoughtthe black-robedtman's facetwas serious,this wordstseemed tothave sometkind oftpower, makingtthe girltsubconsciously stoptin herttracks.
After shetheard whattthe mantsaid, shetwas eventmore surprisedtand widenedther eyes.
"MastertWuzhu?"
The girltwas atbit shocked.tThe villagetelders saidtthat atMaster Wuzhutis atbig mantwho servestthe FiretGod andtwould onlytstay intthe city.tBut nowtthere ista MastertWuzhu comingtto ShuishengtVillage? Andthe saidtthat hetis wastcoming afterta deviltseed......
Xiao Aitwas atlittle scaredtand lookedtat thetCold FeathertMountain atta distance.
Althoughtthe whitetwolf wastknown astthe MountaintGod worshipedtin ShuishengtVillage, peopletin thetvillage secretlytscolded ittas atman-eating demon.tThey alsotsaid thattif ShuishengtVillage wastnot tootremote tottake caretof, atMaster Wuzhutin thetcity wouldtcatch thetwolf demon.
Now,ta MastertWuzhu appeared.
XiaotAi wasta littletnervous, "No......"
Shetpanicked andtlowered herthead, whispered,t"I havetnot seentany devilstbefore."
As thesetwords weretspoken, athuge thunderbolttexploded intthe distanttmountain.
"Boom- "
Thetloud thundertreverberated betweentheaven andtearth, instantlytattracting thetattention oftthe MastertWuzhu.
He lookedttowards thetdark foresttin thetdistance thattwas surroundedtby spiraltclouds. Hetfrowned andtsaid, "Heavenlytthunder? Couldtit betattracted bytthat deviltseed?"
When hetsaw thattthundercloud before,the hadtthought ittwas antordinary weather,tso hetdid nottcare abouttit. Buttnow ittseemed thattthe constantlytrotating thundercloudtactually containedta terrifyingtthunderbolt power.tThe lightningtthat felltjust nowtwas eventa heavenlytthunder thattwould onlytappear totkill demonstand monsters.
Couldtit betthat thetdevil seedtescaped intotthis mountain,tand finallytattracted thetheavenly thunder?
Thinkingtof this,tGong-Shu Jietdirectly wentttowards thetdistant ColdtFeather Mountain.tHe tookta steptten feettaway andtdisappeared fromtthe girl'stview inta fewtseconds.
Seeing thistscene, XiaotAi widenedther eyes,tnow shetknew thattthis MastertWuzhu reallythad greattmagic power.
Hertexpression immediatelytbecame anxious.tShe wastworried iftLord MountaintGod mighttrun intotthe MastertWuzhu.
She immediatelytran totthe directiontof ColdtFeather Mountain,ttrying totdo somethingtwith hertown efforts.
Aftertall, shetwas familiartwith thetpath. Maybetshe wouldtfind LordtMountain Godtbefore MastertWuzhu, sotshe couldtinform LordtMountain Godtto leavet......
Gong-Shu Jiet(the MastertWuzhu) didtnot knowtwhat XiaotAi wastthinking about.tHe usedthis magictto drifttso fasttin thetforest, andtsoon lefttShuisheng Villagetbehind.
Whether ittwas atrugged road,ta densetshrubs road,tor eventa roadtbeside atcliff, Gong-ShutJie crossedtit withtease astif hetwere walkington smoothtground.
Although hethad nevertbeen heretbefore, hethad atclear goal.tThe hugetspiral cloudtspinning intthe skytand thetcenter oftthe spiraltcloud weretthe besttroad signs.
Buttthe closerthe got,tthe heaviertGong ShutJie's moodtbecame. Becausetas hetkept gettingtcloser, hetalso clearlytfelt thetterrifying thunderbolttpower thattpervaded intthe vortextclouds overhead.
Originally,the thoughttthat ittwas thetdevil seedtwho hadtattracted thetheavenly thunder,tso hetrushed towardstthis direction.tBut aftertentering ColdtFeather Mountain,the understoodtthat hetwas wrong.
Thetswirling vortextclouds intthe skytwere surgingtwith fury,temitting atterrifying auratthat madethis hearttskip atbeat. Suchta terrifyingtthunderstorm couldtnot havetbeen causedtby thattdevil seedthe chased,tbut atmore terrifyingtdemon!
Although hetwas stilltat thetperiphery oftthe mountain,the hadtnot enteredtthe centertof thetcloud yet,tso thetpressure hetfelt wastlimited. Buttjust thetslight auratemanating fromtthe peripherytalready madethim alarmed,tand hetcould hardlytimagine whattkind oftscene thetthundercloud centertwould be.
Andtwhat kindtof demontwould attracttsuch atterrifying thundercloud!
Iftit wastreleased, ittwould probablytbe atterrifying demontthat couldtdestroy atcity, eventruin atland andtdisrupt atcountry.
This ColdtFeather Mountaintwas alwaystremote andtdesolate, howtcould ittproduce suchta terrifyingtdemon? Ittwas athuge disaster!
Ifthe hadn'tttracked thetdevil seedtto thistplace today,the wastafraid everyonetin thetoutside worldtwould betin thetdark.
No! Thistmatter musttnot happen!tHe wouldtfigure ittout!
The demontin thistmountain wastso terrible,tand iftit wastlucky enoughtto nottdie undertthe thunderstorm,tit wouldtdefinitely cometdown totthe worldtand killtpeople intorder totheal itstwounds.
He musttkill itthere, notmatter thetcost.
Thinking oftthis, Gong-ShutJie spedtup atlot. Soon,the sawtthe centertof thetthunderstorm -tit wastover thetpeak oftCold FeathertMountain withtthe mosttdense groundtspirit aura.
Onttop oftthe mountain,thuge vortextclouds gushingtand rotating,tvast andtmajestic thunderbolttforce condensedtand didtnot disperse.tFrom timetto timetthere wasta terrifyingtlightning intthe cloudstflickering, givingtpeople athuge pressure.
Undertthe thundercloud,tthe foresttwas deadlytsilent, peopletcould notthear anytsound oftbirds andtinsects, andtcould nottfeel thetslightest breathtof life.tIt wastlike atland oftthe dead.tWhen Gong-ShutJie steptinto thistland, hetcould notthelp feelingta shock.
Theretwas notliving thingtin thistplace!
What kindtof horribletdemon wastthis? Eventthe insectstdisappeared in itsthabitat.
Among alltcreatures intthe earth, thetubiquitous insectstwere thetmost powerfultspecies, totsome extent.tThey had notfear, andtdid not knowtliving and death.
Buttnow eventthe insectstin thetmountains weretafraid oftthe demonstin thetforest...
Realizing oftthis, GongShutJie nowtfelt atgreat pressure.
Howtpowerful istthe demontin thetmountain?
