C322 Surprise Attack

Outside the Ten Thousand Thunderbolt Prison Realm, in the wilderness.

Mu Lei sat cross-legged in silence. Although two months had passed, he still did not look anxious at all.

In the sky, the spatial whirlpool that he and Yang An had created was still rotating at a leisurely pace, only that it had shrunk several times in size.

As expected, the vortex would completely disappear within a month.

"Patriarch, I wonder if Shuyao and the rest are still safe?" The entrance to the prison seems to be about to close soon. "

Mu Jie's disciple, Mu Gang, sat cross-legged next to Mu Lei as he meditated. The dark circles around his eyes were extremely obvious.

Obviously, he hadn't had a good rest during their adventure.

"How many times have I told you? Don't worry. Young people have the good fortune to be young people. "

Mu Lei's eyes opened and closed, and a ray of lightning flashed out.

Although he was not able to enter the Ten Thousand Lightning Prison Realm due to the limitation of his strength, but even outside of the Ten Thousand Lightning Prison Realm, he still had a lot of insights.

Compared to him, those little fellows were much weaker in experience and mentality.

"Is Shuyao really okay?" I am very clear about the strength of my scoundrel. I'm afraid that if I were to encounter any danger, I wouldn't be able to protect the princess. "

Mu Gang acted as if he was completely worried for Mu Shuyao, but towards Mu Jie, he merely mentioned this sentence casually.

"Shuyao is fine. Didn't I tell you before?"

Mu Lei frowned. He felt that it was a little strange that Mu Gang had been here many times these past few days.

However, this was not impossible to understand, if Shuyao were to break through the body's restriction, it would definitely be a great event for the Thunderfire Manor!

"This is Shuyao's keepsake. The keepsake is still fine, how could something have happened to Shuyao?"

As if he was a little impatient to refuse Mu Gang, Mu Lei waved his hand and a small jade pendant appeared in his palm.

The jade was warm and flawless.

Pure energy roamed about within it.

This could also be considered a kind of "Life Plate". However, this kind of Soul Nurturing Jade was extremely difficult to obtain.

As the young prefecture lord of the entire Thunderfire Prefecture, Mu Shuyao would naturally keep her own life tablet.

If the Life Plate doesn't shatter, there will be no problem.

If a person died, the soul energy would quickly dissipate and the pure white Soul Nurturing Jade would turn into ashes.

When Mu Lei took it out, it was simply to make Mu Gang shut up and not bother him anymore.

"Whew."

Mu Gang heaved a sigh of relief, as if he had put down the worry in his heart, and was also lamenting.

"It's good that you're fine. It's good that you're fine."

"I've always been worried what would happen if they didn't return. After all, the Thousand Lightning Prison Realm is extremely dangerous."

Mu Gang leaned towards Mu Lei and sighed.

"Relax, with Mu Yun here, there won't be any problem at all. Normal people won't be able to compare with Mu Yun."

As he spoke of Mu Yun, Mu Lei's face couldn't help but curl into a smile.

Although Mu Yun was his foster son in name, he still treated him as his own.

Furthermore, Mu Yun did not disappoint him. Not only was his own strength one of the best in the entire Thunderfire Prefecture, his temperament was also comparable to many others as well.

Although sometimes doing things is a bit immature, but these are things that can be learned slowly.

"That's right. With Mu Yun here, their safety won't be too much of a problem."

Hearing Mu Yun's words, Mu Gang's eyes flashed with a strange light.

"Oh yeah, I found something strange around the Thousand Lightning Prison Realm."

Mu Gang had already arrived beside Mu Lei and spread out his palm.

A small black stone the size of a thumb entered Mu Lei's line of sight.

"Oh?"

Mu Lei stared at the small piece of rock and replied without knowing why.

There were no strange fluctuations, no special shapes, and no strange colours or oddities.

"I can only feel it when I hold it in my hand. If I hadn't stepped on it earlier, I probably wouldn't have discovered anything special about him."

As he said that, Mu Gang gave the small black stone to Mu Lei, his eyes carrying a trace of a different kind of smile.

He seemed to have found something interesting.

"Hmm?"

The confused Mu Lei reached out and took the black stone that was the size of his thumb.

The moment he touched it, he felt like he was holding onto a burning hot rock. The scorching temperature was in stark contrast with his unassuming appearance.

"This is …?"

Even though the small, jet-black rock was scorching hot, it was nothing to Sea Transformation Stage Rankers. Although Mu Lei felt that it was a little strange, but such a small rock shouldn't be enough to make Mu Gang come and find him, right?

"I suspect that it contains the essence of fire!"

Seeing Mu Lei's curious gaze, Mu Gang said softly.

As he spoke, he glanced around, as if worrying if there were people listening in.

"Essence of Fire?"

Mu Lei instantly opened his eyes wide, and his hands that were originally holding onto the small stone tightly gripped it, as though he was extremely excited.

Between heaven and earth, there were countless strange objects.

However, there were only a few people who were truly familiar with it.

As for the Yin Yang and the Five Elements energy, people were actually talking about it.

Five elements. Metal, wood, water, fire, earth.

Yin and Yang were completely opposite and balanced each other.

Among them, once a certain type of Spiritual Energy was condensed to a certain extent, a "essence" would appear.

It was the essence of a type of power that contained a hint of dao.

In terms of Spiritual Energy alone, this thing might not be comparable to some high grade Spirit Dans.

However, what was of real value was the dao in it!

Especially for those experts who wished to buy treasures at the Nascent Profound Realm, they were treasures that could only be found by chance but not sought after.

Thus, when Mu Lei heard Mu Gang say that he suspected that this was the essence of fire, the first thing he did was to carefully defend.

What if … what if he was not afraid at all?

"This... This is the Thousand Lightning Prison Realm, could you have misunderstood something? "

Mu Lei looked at Mu Gang, and frowned.

He naturally wanted the essence of fire.

But would Mu Gang give him the Fire Essence if he really met it?

This kind of good fortune was not something that could be encountered so easily.

Moreover, this was the Ten Thousand Lightning Tribulations, there was a chance that the essence of thunder would appear here.

"Thunder is violent to begin with, and the power of fire also contains a bit of it. It's very likely that it's a semi-finished product of the fire essence."

Mu Gang immediately said, with a fawning smile on his face.

"Yes."

Mu Lei nodded, thinking that Mu Gang was just trying to curry favor with him.

After all, there were many people singing about Qin Ming's achievements in the Thunderfire Prefecture, and as a Pill Room Elder, it was normal for Mu Gang to have some guesses, so he did not know if he could nod his head.

"Right, there's something strange about this semi-finished product."

As if he suddenly thought of something, Mu Gang smacked his forehead, and with a bit of spirit energy, he struck towards the black stone.

But just as that ray of light was about to make contact with the black boulder, that finger instantly turned into a palm with dense, blazing spirit energy surging out, instantly imprinting it on Mu Lei's chest!
