Heavenly Tribulation
Time went back fifteen minutes.
After Ledger and Kellen successfully met up, both parties moved a bit further away from the forest - still within sight.
Ledger sat obediently, with his hands neatly placed on his knees.
He recounted in detail the incident of him and Susie going to the Extreme Depth and encountering the man in a black robe.
Kellen, Clara, and the ancestors all crossed their arms and stared at Ledger.
Kellen: The adventure of the girl and the naughty boy, this time they went straight to burglary.
Clara: Wow, Susie accompanied Uncle Huck on an adventure, came to Portland, met a man in a black robe, and was tricked. Susie escaped into Mount Hood and coincidentally met Empress Nature...
Ledger followed closely behind Mount Hood. Ledger was discovered by the black-robed man and teleported to Susie's side. Empress Nature happened to have the Chain of the Extreme Depth attached to her. Coincidentally, Ledger was the Emperor Savior, the only person capable of opening the door to the Extreme Depth.
The two of them, in pursuit of Empress Nature, followed the Chain of the Extreme Depth to reach the door to the Extreme Depth. They encountered a man in a black robe. It was the first time the two little guys collaborated and engaged in a fierce battle.
This was definitely arranged by the author on purpose!
Forcing the main characters into a romantic plot, negative review!
Fortunately, Susie is fine. She also had an enlightenment because of this life-and-death battle, and this time she will definitely level up.
If that's the case... I'll reluctantly change it back to a positive review!
Clara took out her phone, opened TikTok, searched for "adorable boy" and then gave him a five-star review.
Clara propped up her chin and tapped on her phone incessantly, while the old ancestor looked at her suspiciously and asked, "Has the underworld connected to the internet?"
Clara: "No, I didn't!"
Ancestor: "What were you doing?"
Clara: "Forced to advertise, you know."
Kellen: "..."
At this moment, a loud thunderbolt struck down from the sky, booming loudly!
Clara's paper-mache phone instantly got burnt, and she was shocked, saying, "Oh my goodness, did I just advertise and get struck by lightning?!"
Kellen scooped her up, leaped up, and quickly stepped back!
What a thunderstorm! This is a thunderous calamity!
The ancestors' pupils contracted as Ledger swiftly grabbed the little demon beast and leaped away from the center of the thunder calamity.
Clara felt her hands and feet were icy cold and murmured, "Can I get through this time?"
Kellen held her hand and whispered, "Certainly."
The ancestors looked at the scene in shock.
Mount Hood was engulfed in darkness at an unknown time, with dark clouds swirling in the sky, forming a massive vortex.
It looked like a scene from the apocalypse.
Right after that thunderstorm just now, two more thunderbolts struck without any pause!
Is this... Thunderstorm?!
The last time there was a thunder robbery was when Susie was in the underworld. It was because she deduced a new rule that attracted the thunder robbery.
So this time...
The fur of the little monster was all electrified by the lightning, and its four little claws tightly gripped the clothes on Ledger's shoulder. It had just finished eating the spirit fruit, leaving a few claw marks on Ledger's clothes.
But no one paid attention to this detail anymore.
Several pairs of eyes were fixed on Susie as the ancient symbols Ledger had placed for her were shattered by the third thunderbolt.
Susie's figure became visible.
Susie had never expected that the thunderstorm would come so suddenly.
She hadn't even had time to prepare, just as she had just figured out the fundamental rules of the world, the thunderstorm arrived.
Her enlightenment was suddenly interrupted. If it hadn't been for the several ancient talisman formations placed around her, the three sudden lightning strikes would have hit her directly.
No sportsmanship, launching a sneak attack!
Susie was angry. In her realization, the suddenness of the thunderstorm seemed like an attempt to harm her and make her die.
Why was it like this?
Why the Heavenly Dao is called the Heavenly Dao should not be because it nurtured and protected the entire world, right?
Is it not allowed for anything to exist that goes against the rules of this world, nor for anyone to challenge its understanding?
Breeding insects, fighting, and the purgatory of the mortal world...
Although she didn't know what had happened, Susie had a vague feeling that something was wrong.
It shouldn't have been like this, there must have been some problem.
Susie's thoughts were just a fleeting moment, she didn't have much time to ponder.
The last thunderstorm began with a flash.
This time, there were unexpectedly three starting points.
The three heavenly thunders can be considered as the first wave, with a few seconds of rest time between the first and second waves.
Susie had just caught her breath when the second wave of thunderstorms arrived!
This time it was Rokudo!
With the experience of the first tribulation, Susie knew that the later thunder tribulations would be more fierce. She had to find a way to preserve her strength in the early stages of the thunder strikes.
Just now, three ancient matrices set up by Ledger blocked three lightning strikes.
This time, when the six thunders struck, although Susie knew in her heart that she had to take something to block them, where could she suddenly find six ghost tools or even divine tools?!
Susie immediately regretted not considering how close she was to the catastrophe. She had been too leisurely and hadn't searched for any extraordinary treasures during this time. She thought she didn't need them, but only now did she realize that the more of those things, the better.
In that instant, the only word in her mind was "lightning rod."
She turned her wrist and a silver needle appeared in her hand.
This was given to her by King of Bian, and she also made contributions when fighting and killing the man in the black robe. However, Susie actually didn't know how powerful it really was.
According to her, this silver needle seemed ordinary and it was impossible to tell its level. In the instant it was sacrificed, Susie regretted it, thinking, "What use is a small silver needle against such a powerful thunder calamity?"
It would only be chopped into pieces and left with nothing.
However, with a loud rumble, the thunderbolts all struck the silver needle!
The silver needle unexpectedly blocked the second wave of thunder tribulation for Susie.
As the owner of the silver needle, Susie was also affected by the thunderstorm, but this was much better than being directly struck.
"Cough..." Susie coughed, and smoke billowed out of her mouth, leaving her charred from the strike.
The silver needle fell into her hand, and it became even sharper than before, with the needle tip gleaming with a chilling light.
"This..."
Susie was dumbfounded, is it really a lightning rod?!
Without giving her much time to think, the third wave of heavenly thunder has arrived!
Susie once again wielded the silver needle, and it seemed like the thunder had a mind of its own, knowing that the silver needle could help her avoid being struck by lightning, and it chased after her, wanting to strike her.
Susie struggled to dodge the thunderous attacks, which proved to be even more formidable than the menacing figure in the black robe.
But after experiencing the life-and-death battle with the man in the black robe, Susie instead became calm in her heart. Without that battle, perhaps she would be in a state of chaos now.
But having already experienced life and death, at this moment, regarding heaven thunder as another cunning man in a black robe, I suddenly felt that there might be some clues to follow.
The silver needle was no longer in a fixed state. She dodged a thunderbolt and immediately retracted the silver needle. As she saw the heavenly thunder strike again, she voluntarily summoned the silver needle to resist against it.
"Three..."
"Four..."
"Five!"
There were nine thunderbolts in the second wave, and Susie couldn't resist anymore when she reached the fifth one.
The silver needle snapped with a crack and broke in half!
Susie's heart tightened as she knew that the silver needle could no longer continue to protect her from lightning. If she forcefully threw the silver needle out, perhaps it could barely block one lightning strike, but it would be of no use.
It is better to keep the silver needle, which is equivalent to leaving a glimmer of hope.
Susie immediately put away the silver needle as the sixth heavenly thunder struck her forehead, but she managed to withstand it.
Boom - click!
When the sixth thunderbolt struck Susie, the remaining three thunderbolts immediately followed, almost simultaneously hitting her!
"Puff..."
Susie, suspended in mid-air, spewed out a mouthful of blood and her tiny body plummeted straight down...
