Chapter 120: The Five Thunder Heavenly Spirit Technique

Boom!

The clouds were rolling continuously in the sky.

The clouds were so low as if they were right above the head.

Theoretically speaking, even the kindergarteners on Earth had been taught that they must hide in the room in such a weather and should not stay in open areas and certainly not below tall trees.

However, a team of about twenty people from the Twin Dragon Mount fort was walking in the territory of the Forest Monsters that was full of trees more than a hundred meters tall.

“The Forest Monsters didn’t attack us when they saw us. Have they set up a trap?”

Li Qing scanned upwards with his Combat Ability Detector in case of the Forest Monsters’ possible ambush.

However, they met no Forest Monsters after walking for a long time, much less being attacked.

“Are they all hiding from the thunderstorm? After all, most undeveloped civilizations are terrified of such natural phenomena. Besides, the Forest Monsters must’ve been struck a lot when they lived on such high trees!”

Qin Yueyu speculated curiously and then asked Gongsun Sheng who was walking next to Ji Ye, “Well, Mr. Gongsun, are we really safe from the lightning strikes?”

They had the courage to enter the woods in such a weather exactly because they had Gongsun Sheng, who was wearing a Daoist robe and holding a Perfect Mirage Dragon Sword.

“Miss, worry not. I’ve already performed Lightning Evasion with the Five Thunder Heavenly Spirit Technique. As long as we don’t intentionally attract them, we won’t suffer any lightning strikes.”

Gongsun Sheng was very confident because the Five Thunder Heavenly Spirit Technique that he knew was truly powerful!

[Five Thunder Heavenly Spirit Technique]

[Level: Extraordinary]

[Rarity: Perfect]

[Introduction: This is a true skill of the Daoist School. You can resist thunders after you pick it up, or you can develop it into a Heavenly Spirit art]

Ji Ye sensed the information of the skill in his head.

Same as what he did to Lu Zhishen and Wu Song, Ji Ye didn’t waste any time learning Gongsun Sheng’s most brilliant skill that was even rated as “Perfect”.

According to Gongsun Sheng, although he only got the Extraordinary part of the Five Thunder Heavenly Spirit Technique from his teacher, the upper limit of the skill was much more than Extraordinary.

By practicing this art, one could not only grasp “Five Thunders” but also develop the techniques of the legendary “Heavenly Spirit 36 Changes”!

What are the Heavenly Spirit 36 Changes?

They were 36 changes in the regular sense, but they consisted of the 36 legendary techniques of the Daoist School, including changing the locations of stars, speeding up the flow of time, reducing the distance between two places, changing the weather, turning stone into gold, and even transforming beans into soldiers!

Of course, the Five Thunder Heavenly Spirit Technique was just one skill, and it was impossible to develop all the 36 Heavenly Spirit techniques with it.

However, it was still possible to master some of the techniques through this art, such as changing the weather, riding the clouds, and turning beans into soldiers.

In order to reach such a level, one must be very familiar with the art to deepen their understanding of it.

However, Ji Ye had only just learned the Five Thunder Heavenly Spirit Technique from Gongsun Sheng. He hadn’t started his cultivation yet.

Unlike the runes that Ninth Uncle knew, the complete version of the Five Thunder Heavenly Spirit Technique was somewhat contradictory to Earth’s Boon that he was cultivating.

Therefore, there were apparently two more things that he needed to “Fuse”.

Ji Ye couldn’t help but miss the Battlefield of Providence. Only in such a place where time flowed faster could he fuse all the items and skills he needed in one time.

“Got them. The Forest Monsters are right ahead. They’re all together. Is it their settlement core?”

At this moment, Li Qing finally found some traces.

To some extent, those hideous green-skinned Forest Monsters had the most splendid and artistic settlement core that Ji Ye had ever seen.

Surrounded by a large area of hundred-meter-tall trees, there were a dozen red trees, and in the middle of the red trees was a purple tree that was even rarer.

Near the purple tree, a huge number of brown vines grew up and connected it to the red trees around, weaving brown nets dozens of meters from the ground.

On those vine nets were dozens of houses that were also constructed with vines.

“Wula!”

The moment human beings spotted the Forest Monsters, the Forest Monsters noticed the intruders too.

Immediately, all the Forest Monsters roared and took out stones of different sizes from their “houses”.

Then, they held the stones with two arms and swung on the vines with their other two arms, moving exactly like Tarzan.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

When they approached human beings, they waved their arms and threw the stones down.

The vines were dozens of meters from the ground. From such an altitude, the stones could be fatal threats even if they fell freely, not to mention that the Forest Monsters were clearly good at throwing. The stones they dropped were all precise and powerful. action

Even though the team was the best in the Twin Dragon Mount fort, they were still unable to fight back, and some of them were even hurt!

Hum!

However, the Forest Monsters soon lost the ability to throw stones accurately.

That was because a gray wall suddenly emerged down on them and blocked their sight, making it impossible for them to locate the human beings.

Boom!

At the same time, a burning cannonball soared from below the gray wall and hit the chest of a Forest Monster on the vines, blowing it away and making it fall.

Pew!

The ground below the Forest Monster was a muddy swamp, so it wasn’t killed by the fall. However, its life was soon reaped by an arrow!

Boom, boom, boom...

Cannonballs were fired nonstop from the ground, mixed with incendiary bombs that contained red powder, which set the vines that the Forest Monsters were clinging to on fire and burned them into ash!

“Wula, wula...”

Under such circumstances, the Forest Monsters squeaked and had to return to defend their settlement.

The vine nets at the settlement were barely penetrable even for Ling Zhen’s cannonballs.

“Mr. Gongsun, it’s up to you now.”

“Don’t worry, Master!”

However, Ling Zhen wasn’t the center of the Twin Dragon Mount’s attack anyway. They were all counting on Gongsun Sheng.

“Wind, rise!”

Gongsun Sheng waved his Mirage Dragon Sword, and a stream of white air blew out of the sword, soared out of the forest as a vague dragon, and entered the rolling clouds.

Hum!

Next, a gale wind rose in an area in the sky, and the clouds which were low in the first place were all blown to the Forest Monsters’ settlement by the gale!

While Gongsun Sheng hadn’t reached Extraordinary Rank-5 yet and couldn’t really fly to fight above the Forest Monsters’ settlement, he was already able to cast some of the spells in the Five Thunder Heavenly Spirit Technique.

For example, he could turn the weather even worse when the weather was already bad enough!

“Wula, wula!”

Seeing the overwhelming dark clouds above their heads, the green-skinned Forest Monsters were panicked.

Only half a day had passed. Clearly, they hadn’t elected a new king who was authoritative and wise enough yet. They were in chaos when faced with such a situation.

“Lightning, rise!”

More importantly, it was not regular clouds that Gongsun Sheng summoned but the dark clouds which had brewed for a long time. When those dark clouds reached the Forest Monsters’ settlement, the power of lightning in them instantly burst out!

Pop! Crackle!

Thunders rumbled nonstop in the forest!

The power of lightning that was manually triggered might not be as intimidating as that of natural lightning, but it was definitely not something that the common Forest Monsters who didn’t even possess extraordinary power could resist. Smoke instantly popped up from some of them while they fell into paralysis.

The rest of them simply exclaimed and fled on the vine nets.

However, the dark clouds that Gongsun Sheng summoned hindered the Forest Monsters’ vision apart from causing lightning strikes.

The nets made of vines inevitably had gaps on it, so the Forest Monsters fell off now and then.

“Pew! Pew! Pew!”

The results were all the same. Even if the falling Forest Monsters came back to themselves from the electric shock, it was unlikely for them to escape again.

That was because Ji Ye had already changed the environment and created obstacles with the Mirage Dragon Pearl, and the human beings who were strong enough to beat them were attacking relentlessly under the cover of the obstacles!

Even though the Forest Monsters knew well enough after what they experienced yesterday that what they saw might not be real, they were too panicked to observe carefully.

It also meant that the Forest Monsters had completely failed!

“Wula...”

After the battle, the last Forest Monster jumped to a green tree and tried to climb up when the thunderstorm finally began.

“Quick!”

Gongsun Sheng’s Mirage Dragon Sword flew out and stabbed the trunk below the Forest Monster’s feet!

Boom!

In the next moment, a real lightning bolt was attracted to the tree and instantly carbonized the upper half of the last Forest Monster’s body!

However, just like what Gongsun Sheng said, thanks to Thunder Evasion, nobody from the Twin Dragon Mount fort was hurt by the overwhelming power of thunder and lightning.

“I understand why those Forest Monsters aren’t scared of living on trees now,” said Qin Yueyu with an epiphany.

While most trees would grow bigger and taller, those in the Forest Monsters’ territory were the opposite. The red trees were slightly shorter than the green ones, and the purple ones were even shorter.

The lightning preferred higher objects anyway and wouldn’t usually strike the purple trees. However, now that the Forest Monsters had encountered Gongsun Sheng who knew the Five Thunder Heavenly Spirit Technique, they could only be destroyed by the human spells.

After eradicating the Forest Monsters, the only nearby settlement that human beings needed to conquer would be the Metal Men’s!
