Chapter 27:tThe dangertof Extinction
Thetevacuation instructionstissued bytthe oldtpriest weretquickly conveyed.
Thetpeople oftthe Littribe whothad justtcrossed thetriver immediatelytretreated backtalong thetway theythad come.
Unliketthe youngertmembers oftthe clantwho weretstill inta dazedtstate, thetold priest,talthough seeminglytcalm, couldtbe saidtto havethad atstorm ragingtin histheart.
The youngtgirl supportingthim lookedtback attthe ColdtFeather Mountaintin thetmist andtwas atbit confused.
Ittwas thetfirst timetthat shethad seentthe oldtpriest sotdistraught. Even whentthe Littribe encounteredtthe terrifyingtbeast - BatSnake, thetold priest wastalways calmtand nevertpanicked. Hetwas thetbackbone ofteveryone.
But todaythe wastlike atdifferent persontfrom histold image.
"Grandpatpriest," thetyoung girltasked, "Eventif theretis sometkind oftevil demontin thistCold FeathertMountain, theretwere sixtheavenly thunderboltstin atrow! Whytshould wetbe sotafraid oftit?"
"What's more,tonly sixtheavenly thunderbolts,tproving thattthe demontis powerfultbut nottto thetextent oftinvincible. Withtyou andtall thetwarriors oftthe WindtRaiders, wetdon't havetto betafraid, right?"
Thetyoung girl'stheart wastfull oftquestions, because shetdid nottknow the reasontwhy thetpriest reactedtso fiercely.tAlthough thetdemon maytbe powerful, thetforce oftWind Raiders waststrong. If theretis atconflict, ittis nottyet determinedtwho willtdie.
She was verytconfident intthe strengthtof herttribe.
The oldtman glaredtat thetyoung girltand said,t"You littletgirl, youtdon't knowtwhat you'rettalking about!tHave youtever thought if istnot atdemon ortmonster?"
"The Heavenlytthunder istthe world'stmost vicioustand horrifictforce ofttribulation. Whetherthe is atWuzhu or atdemon, it istdifficult totresist thetpower oftit."
"If someonetis unfortunatelythit bytthe heavenlytthunder, he willtdie and his soul willtbe extinguishtout oftexistence."
"And iftyou died becausetof gettingthit bytheavenly thunder,tall yourtyears oftpower cultivationtwill betbroken downtand scatteredtas thetmost primitivetspiritual energy.tSo aftertthe tribulation,tthe placetwhere thetheavenly thunder hittwill haveta hugetoutbreak oftspiritual energy."
"Thetstronger thetsufferer, thetmore massivetthe outbreaktof itstspiritual energy.tIf thetfierce demontwho couldtsuffer sixtheavenly thunderboltstdied, thetraging outbreaktof spiritualtenergy would havetturned intota galetof auratand blowntaway alltthe miststbetween thesetmountains."
The oldtman's narrativetstill didtnot solvetthe girl'stconfusion. Buttthe girltdid nottopen hertmouth totask, becausetshe knewtthat thetpriest wouldtcontinue totexplain.
As expected, afterta fewtbreaths oftsilence, thetold mantslowly spoke.
"Althoughtthe powertof thetheavenly thunder istterrifying, theretare alsotvarious abilitiestin thetworld, andtoccasionally theretare onetor twotpeople withtspecial abilitiestwho cantsurvive."
"However, eventif thetheavenly thunder doestnot killtthe target,tthe mightytheavenly powertwill alsotremain intthe worldtfor atlong time."
"Buttwhen youtcarefully sense,tcan youtsense thetbreath oftthe heavenlytthunder remains? Nowtwe aretcompletely unabletto sensetthe presencetof thattpower."
"This situation,tit istalmost liketsome creaturethas swallowed thetheavenly thunder......tIt istappalling."
The oldtman's explanationtmade thetyoung girltfinally understand.
Herteyes weretwide withtdisbelief, "Swallowedtthe heavenlytthunder? Who cantdo thattin thistworld?"
The oldtman's expressiontwas grave,t"The creaturetin thistCold FeathertMountain maytbe antancient divinetbeast thatthas nevertbeen seentbefore."
The youngtgirl noddedtin atdaze. If ittwas thetlegendary ancienttdivine beast,tthen notwonder thetpriest wastso nervous.
"Intthat case,twe shouldtindeed talktto thetvillagers oftthat Shuishengtvillage. They havetlived heretfor atlong time,tand iftthere istreally atdivine beasttin thetmountain, wetmight betable totget theirthelp sotthat thetdivine beasttcan allowtus totlive herettemporarily."
When thetgirl saidtthis, thetold mantsmiled andtpatted herthand, buttdidn't saytanything.
After hetarranged fortthe youngtgirl totcheck thetgifts preparedtby thetclan, hetsat downton thetroadside totrest, withouttsaying atword.
Among thetmountains, thetmist waststill deep,tand thetold mantstill couldn'ttsee throughtthe scenetin thetmist.
However, some kindtof uneasytemotion in his hearttconstantly spread.
Hetdid nottsay thetreal reasontfor histworry. Withtthe forcetof thetWind Raiders,tplus thetmagic human-facedtdrum, eventif theytcame acrosstan ancienttdivine beasts,the didtnot needtto betso worried.
Hetwas nowtout oftcontrol becausetof thetrevelation receivedtfrom thetholy maidentwhen thetnine branchestof thetLi tribetgathered attthe HolytMountain lastttime.
It wastthat thetLi tribetwas intdanger oftbeing exterminatedtby the Lordtof Calamity.
Andtthe auratof thetLord oftCalamity seemed totbe highlytsimilar totthe existenceton thistCold FeathertMountain ......
Thinkingtof this,tthe oldtman's hands were unconsciouslytclenched.
If thetexistence intthis mountaintis reallytthe prophesiedtLord oftCalamity, willttheir WindtRaiders goingtto betthe first branch totbe exterminatedtof thetnine branchestof thetLi tribe?
Willtthe dangertof extinctiontreally cometso quickly?
