351 True use of Barriers
"I hope this goes as planned," Erek looked at the barriers and then the tribulation clouds above the barriers as he thought in his head.
"Don't worry,"
Kraiww and others also thought the same but they confidently said to the second elder.
"Yes and if everything goes well, our tribe's overall strength might rise greatly," Erek smiled at the other elders who were younger than him trying to give confidence to him.
"That's for sure,"
All the three elders nodded their heads and expectantly looked at the lightning clouds.
'Will that really help the whole tribe raise their strengths?' Ajax thought in his head as he didn't know about this type of information regarding the tribulation clouds.
'Buzz'
'Boom'
As he was thinking about this, a blue coloured lightning bolt suddenly came from the tribulation clouds and landed on the top layer of the barrier and a loud explosion resounded all over the Hawk tribe.
"This is more powerful than I thought," Ajax looked at the first lightning bolt that disappeared as soon as it landed on the barrier and felt shocked.
Although he knew about these tribulations and he felt that he greatly underestimated the lightning tribulations.
Since he never saw them with his true eyes and only heard from Elder Boron's stories, he felt excited and shocked to see a real one now.
'The first lightning strike is already this powerful, I wonder how powerful the next lightning strikes will be?' Ajax muttered as he was eager to see how powerful the strikes could become and at the same time, he prayed for Qwerek to successfully cross this tribulation.
"Huh?"
As Ajax was eagerly waiting for the next lightning strike he sensed the lightning essence of nature around him becoming richer and purer than before leaving him in a surprise.
'Th..this..essence purity is almost as rich and pure as the grade 1 elemental paradise's essence of nature,' Ajax was very sensitive towards the essence of nature from a young age and he was able to compare the purity of the essence of nature in his surroundings.
"Hahaha...he is known for his intelligence in all the three tribes for nothing. When it comes to the tribe he thinks a lot and only if he had enough confidence he would not try it," Erek said as he looked at Ajax's awed expression.
'Then why were you worried earlier,' Ajax's awed expression replaced by a little mocked expression as he muttered under his breath.
"Next time, think in your mind," Erek raised his brows and continued, " There are some cases, tribe leaders failed and this is the first time that one of us is going through a lightning tribulation. So, of course, we are worried."
"Oh. Sorry elder," Ajax looked at the seriousness in Erek's face and immediately apologized.
However, in his mind, he thought, 'Did I really mutter that loud?'
"Hahaha"
All the three elders looked at Ajax and Erek as they started laughing which lessened their worry.
It's exactly as Elder Erek said, there was no guarantee when it comes to playing with the lightning tribulation. So, there was a tiny bit of worry in them whether their plan would be successful or not.
'If the lightning essence of nature becomes richer and purer than the grade 2 elemental paradise then I will summon my auxiliary thunder elemental spirit,' Ajax thought in his mind and looked at the second lightning strike that came out of the tribulation clouds.
'Boomm'
Just like the first lightning strike, the second lighting strike was also blocked by the top barrier and dispersed the energy from it into the barrier making the essence of nature in the Hawk tribe to a grade 1 elemental paradise level.
It was more powerful than the first lightning strike but still, it was blocked by the barrier without a problem.
"Woah,"
Ajax felt that his spirit consciousness was filling faster and excited.
It was like getting benefitted for doing nothing.
Not only him but the elders beside him also looked surprised and sat on the ground and started cultivating.
Among all the onlookers, the one who was most excited was none other than the Hawk tribesman as they felt their stagnated cultivations breakthrough and it was not stopped there but continued to increase, one minor realm after another.
Looking at them, Ajax also sat on the ground but he didn't start cultivating; instead, he waited for the third lightning strike which would be even more powerful than the second strike.
'Here it comes,' Ajax muttered as he looked at the third lighting strike.
