Chapter 189 Lightning Strike Mountain
Chapter 189 Lightning Strike Mountain
Lightning Mountain
This majestic mountain is famous for its unique natural phenomena.
Because lightning, like silver snakes, circled the mountain, flashing and leaping, and thunder roared incessantly throughout the year.
Therefore, his fame spread far and wide!
There is an ancient and mysterious legend about the origin of the name of this mountain.
Legend has it that in ancient times, Lei Gong (the Thunder God) accidentally dropped his incredibly powerful electric hammer on this nameless mountain while carrying out a mission.
From that time on, the entire mountain was engulfed in endless thunder and lightning, as if the wrath of the Thunder God would never be appeased.
Over time, people began to call this mountain "Lightning Strike Mountain".
Because this is the place where Leigong lost his important treasure, it is also known as Leigong Mountain.
The veracity of the legend is difficult to verify, but the name Leijishan (Lightning Strike Mountain) has endured the vicissitudes of time and has been passed down to this day.
Unlike most wild beasts that are born with a fear of lightning, the Thunderscale Sky-Swallowing Python, a strange creature, has a special fondness for lightning.
Perhaps it is because they contain a certain power that resonates with lightning, which not only makes them fearless of lightning, but also makes them particularly fond of areas filled with lightning.
For this reason, the entire Thunderstrike Mountain naturally became the territory of the Thunderscale Devouring Python.
Although this Thunderscale Devouring Python named Lei Mang is not as famous as Zhu Guo, who is hailed as "the best in the world", its true strength should not be underestimated.
Even the most mysterious and unpredictable of the three lords, Red Fox—Red Shadow, had to be somewhat wary of Lei Mang.
After all, Lei Mang, relying solely on his own powerful strength, successfully secured a place in the fiercely competitive Wilderness World and became one of the three major forces.
Compared to Shilidong and Yekouling, Leijishan is quite unique.
There was only one clan there, the Thunderscale Sky-Swallowing Python, with a hundred or so giant pythons coiled up there.
However, it was precisely by relying on his unparalleled strength that Lei Mang led his hundred or so descendants to stand out in the vast wilderness where experts were everywhere, and he himself became one of the three great lords.
This alone is enough to prove Lei Mang's extraordinary talent.
It should be noted that both the Zhu Xian lineage and the Chi Ying clan possess countless large groups.
Besides their direct descendants and relatives, these two major forces also have numerous wild beasts that depend on them, and their numbers are incalculable.
The countless wild beasts, the crimson shadows, and Zhu Xian's formidable personal strength are what made Shili Cave and Yekou Ridge so renowned.
In stark contrast, Lei Jishan, relying solely on Lei Mang and his dozen or so direct descendants, was able to rival these two major forces.
This shows just how powerful and terrifying the Thunderscale Devouring Python truly is!
On this day, Lei Mang was leisurely immersed in the baptism of lightning, just as he always was.
Amidst the thick, dark clouds that blotted out the sun, thunder rumbled and echoed through the heavens.
The thunder sounded like the roar of an ancient beast, each sound sending chills down one's spine!
Immediately afterwards, a dense barrage of lightning suddenly poured down, instantly engulfing the entire Thunderstruck Mountain.
Each of those lightning bolts was incredibly thick, with a diameter of about half a meter.
Looking from a distance, it appears as if a mysterious behemoth has forcefully torn open the sky with shocking gashes.
These rapidly descending lightning bolts carried immense energy capable of destroying heaven and earth; this was the supreme pressure from the heavens.
Even when you're ten miles away, that heart-pounding feeling is still clearly perceptible!
"Boom!"
With a deafening roar, countless bolts of lightning, as dense as a fishing net, struck Lei Mang's enormous, mountain-like body.
The anticipated scenario of being torn apart, ripped apart, or even reduced to ashes did not occur.
The incredibly powerful lightning bolt not only failed to cause him the slightest harm, but also made him involuntarily let out a groan of pleasure.
Just then, a fiery red figure appeared abruptly like a ghost in front of Lei Mang's enormous python head, which was a hundred meters long.
Its speed was beyond imagination; even the lightning python, which was right next to it, did not notice its arrival.
It was as if he had always been there; his speed was unbelievably fast.
In the blink of an eye, that figure appeared there in a bizarre way.
But who exactly is this person with such profound and unfathomable abilities?
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be an enormous, unusual red fox.
The red fox, as its name suggests.
It is a fox with fiery red fur, and is one of the most common wild beasts in the wilderness.
Ordinary red foxes are only a meter tall. Moreover, most of them are mediocre, with only a very few possessing the strength of the first level.
Such meager strength would make them formidable opponents in the human world, but in the wilderness fraught with danger and peril, they would be considered to be at the very bottom.
Their large numbers and weak strength made the red fox a prime target for almost all wild beasts.
However, the red fox that appeared strangely before Lei Mang was completely different from its kind.
Its body is over two meters tall, twice the size of an ordinary red fox!
Its fur, covering its entire body, resembled a blazing fire, radiating a dazzling light that was impossible to ignore.
What is even more unforgettable are those eyes, like the deep and boundless night sky, or the vast and magnificent ocean, containing endless wisdom and vicissitudes.
With just a fleeting glance, one can seem to discern the mysteries of the world and the secrets deep within the human heart.
Although it is impossible to know exactly how strong this fox is, the fact that it could suddenly appear under Lei Mang's nose at the peak of the initial stage of the sixth level without being noticed is enough to prove that it is at least a top expert of the same level as Lei Mang, or even a level stronger.
Despite having the body of a red fox, it can still exude strength that is in no way inferior to Lei Mang.
In this way, the identity of this red fox becomes obvious.
Indeed, the person before us is none other than the most mysterious of the three lords, the Lord of Shili Cave—Chiying.
At this moment, he quietly gazed at Lei Mang, who was enjoying the lightning, without rashly disturbing him.
Strangely, the lightning bolts seemed to possess intelligence and deliberately avoided the crimson shadow.
Looking at the dense array of lightning, Chi Ying's eyes revealed undisguised envy.
This is a rare and wonderful thing!
Unfortunately, it is only suitable for the Thunderscale Devouring Python clan.
No animal, not even a mythical beast, can resist the divine power of lightning!
This stems from the deepest fear in their souls, and is their innate nature.
Because the power of lightning is also known as the "power of righteousness" and the "power of conscience"!
It is the supreme power that the Great Way uses to warn heaven and earth and all things, and to admonish all things in the world to uphold righteousness and do good.
People often say: "If you have never done anything wrong, you won't be afraid of a knock on the door in the middle of the night!"
Ultimately, how many people can truly live a life without any regrets?
Since we can't be completely open and honest, we naturally all fear thunder and lightning!
