Chapter 4716 — Not Believing It Gets You Struck by Lightning
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Fine. But even so, you don't have to keep circling the same spot, do you? How long is this dawdling going to take?" Wei Zhao could not help laughing. Then he paused and asked, "Since you've gone to such pains to gather all this intelligence, don't you know the way through this heavenly lightning formation?"
"The formation is naturally formed. Every so often, as the environment changes, the entire formation changes with it. No one could possibly compile a route map. And even if someone had one, no one would dare follow it, because there's a very good chance it's useless. So to pass safely through this heavenly lightning formation, everything depends on probing it out bit by bit yourself. Naturally, you can only start from the edges." Huo Yudie said helplessly.
"Good grief! How long is this probing going to take? Just give it to me!" Wei Zhao said, pressing a hand to his forehead. His time was already extremely limited. If he wasted several days on something like this, he would not even know what to say.
"Oh..." Huo Yudie answered weakly and handed him the map. Though she did not believe for a moment that Wei Zhao could have any better method, she really was rather tired after all that probing and groping about, and a rest while Wei Zhao took over the shift would not be bad at all.
Taking Huo Yudie's map, Wei Zhao examined it carefully. He found that apart from lacking a clear route for breaking the formation, everything else on it was marked with perfect clarity. Once he had roughly understood it, he said not a word more and strode straight in.
Huo Yudie was just about to sit down for a rest when she saw this, and she leapt up in alarm. Rushing over, she grabbed Wei Zhao's arm and cried, "Hey! Do you have a death wish?"
In her panic, Huo Yudie had practically thrown her whole body against Wei Zhao. He felt his entire arm sink into some tender, soft place, a sensation sufficient to intoxicate any man. Though Wei Zhao was not quite so base as that, he still instinctively tensed his muscles.
Seeing the strange look in Wei Zhao's eyes, Huo Yudie finally realized how ambiguous their posture was at that moment. With a startled cry she hurriedly retreated several steps, her cheeks flushing red to the tips of her ears, and she did not dare look at Wei Zhao again.
Wei Zhao smiled silently, then resumed his previous pace, heading straight for the boulder formation, veering left and right from time to time in no discernible pattern. It gave the impression that he was simply wandering about as he pleased—yet the result was that, from first to last, his way of walking never triggered the heavenly lightning!
Once Huo Yudie had recovered from her embarrassment, she stared wide-eyed and blankly at the scene before her, her face full of disbelief. Could her deduction have been wrong? Had this place not yet reached the Thunder Mystic Vine's location, and there was no heavenly lightning formation at all?
That seemed unlikely. This intelligence had come to her master personally from Ning Shanghe, the Island Master of West Island. Given the deep friendship between them, she surely would not have falsified something like this. Or was there an error in the map?
Unconvinced, Huo Yudie immediately tried to imitate Wei Zhao and take a few casual steps. But the instant she moved her foot, before it had even fully touched the ground, she heard a deafening crack out of thin air, and a sharp bolt of deep-blue lightning came crashing down on her head!
