My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 605 Lei Ze
February 2nd is the Waking of Insects.

The moment the clock hands on the wall passed zero, new texts and interactions appeared in the game.

The map leading to Lei Ze was completely opened. Jiang Xinghuo immediately controlled the character to go to Lei Ze without any hesitation.

"You chose to continue on your journey to Lei Ze."

"We are still on the road..."

"Please wait……"

"While you are on your way, you find that the sky has suddenly become thunderous and lightning, with countless lightning bolts rolling and dancing in the clouds. The dark and heavy leaden clouds are suspended in the sky like mountains, and it seems that they will crush down and cover everything between heaven and earth at any time."

"This is the abnormal celestial phenomenon affected by the power of Lei Ze. The closer you are to Lei Ze's location, the more terrifying the abnormal celestial phenomenon will be."

"This is also the natural protection measure of Lei Ze. If an outsider wants to find the entrance to Lei Ze, he must pass through these obstacles of lightning."

"If you cannot withstand the power of the thunder, then you can only return the way you came to save your life. Otherwise, forcing your way deeper will only lead to death."

"You saw a lot of scattered skeletons in the weeds on the roadside. Judging from the shape of those skeletons and the aura they exude, they are all powerful monsters."

“But even with their powerful cultivation, they still felt powerless when facing the rolling thunder. In the end, they died tragically outside the Thunder Lake, leaving only a charred skeleton to prove that they had once come to this world.”

"At this moment, the countless lightning accumulated in the thunderclouds in the sky suddenly began to roll like waves, as if sensing the arrival of you, an uninvited guest, and the lightning like a tide instantly rushed towards you."

"You also saw a ferocious beast made of lightning in the layers of brilliant lightning. You can feel that you have been targeted by the other party!"

Be bad!

After seeing this line of text, Jiang Xinghuo suddenly felt uneasy. His intuition told him that he was going to be unlucky again. If nothing unexpected happened, he would definitely die in the mouth of this thunder beast.

as predicted,

The next moment, new game text appeared on the screen, which just verified Jiang Xinghuo's inner guesses and thoughts.

"Your body is submerged in a tide of lightning. You can clearly feel your skin being torn apart by lightning. The powerful force of thunder is wreaking havoc in your body."

"A peach blossom lightning tattoo has also appeared on the surface of your skin. The skin torn by lightning is equivalent to the branches of peach blossoms. The buds that were about to bloom have quickly matured and turned into purple peaches wrapped in lightning, which continuously flash purple and white electric light on the ground."

"But you still couldn't escape being shattered to pieces. You were completely submerged in the brilliant light of the lightning. Not even a complete body was left. You were completely reduced to ashes."

"You are dead."

"However, fortune follows misfortune, and misfortune follows fortune. Although you died under the thunder this time, you have tattooed the peach blossom thunder pattern on your body, and used the power of the thunder to cultivate to perfection."

"Your lightning skills have been improved, +2."

"You have obtained Peach Blossom Spring Thunder (rare)."

"Peach Blossom Spring Thunder (rare consumable item). When the Peach Blossom Thunder Tattoo reaches the state of great perfection, it can transform the thunder power in the body into reality, thereby condensing purple thunder peaches. After completely detonating them with one's own magic power, the killing radius is enough to cover a distance of fifteen meters."

Peach Blossom Spring Thunder?

Are those peaches that sparkle with purple and white electric light? ?

After being struck to death by lightning... there is such an unexpected gain?
Jiang Xinghuo was both surprised and delighted. He immediately activated his talent as a scapegoat and came back to life at the place where he had died. He then controlled the character to pick up the peaches on the ground.

"You picked it up, Peach Blossom Spring Thunder +7."

Jiang Xinghuo clicked on the relevant entry out of curiosity and took the thing into reality to take a look.

The shape is no different from that of an ordinary peach, but it is flashing with purple and white lightning arcs all over, and a large number of lightning talismans constantly emerge on the surface, emitting a heart-pounding aura.

According to the description of this thing in the game text, if it is detonated in a store, the power is great enough to completely destroy the entire store, which is more powerful than an ordinary grenade.

Jiang Xinghuo played with it in his hands for a while, then carefully put it into his magic bag. He had no intention of testing this prop for the time being. The key point was that it would make too much noise, which would definitely bring him a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Continue the game.

"What are you going to choose next?"

"You used the talent of the scapegoat to come back to life, but the lightning in the sky seemed to have sensed your presence again."

"That ferocious beast made of thunder and lightning is looming in the clouds, as if it will rush down and tear you to pieces at any time. Do you still want to continue moving forward?"

"Of course, you can also choose to leave now. As long as you don't go any deeper, the lightning in the sky will not be able to harm you."

The game gave two options, and Jiang Xinghuo didn't think too much about it and just chose to move on.

He has already come here, there is no reason for him to go back like this. Even if he has to risk his life to push forward, he has to find the entrance to Lei Ze.

"You chose to move on..."

"And your actions also angered the ferocious lightning beast. A soul-stirring roar like thunder sounded, and the ferocious beast surrounded by lightning rushed towards you."

"You used your magical speed to try to escape the beast's pursuit, but after running for a distance, you were still torn to pieces by the beast's sharp claws."

"You are dead."

"Now you have received two pieces of news, one good and one bad. The bad news is that you died under the claws of this lightning beast, and the good news is that you are one step closer to Lei Ze. What are you going to do next? Do you want to continue moving forward?"

Tsk, Jiang Xinghuo had been prepared for this. Death was something he welcomed anyway.

He had even specially made a lot of grave cakes just so they could come in handy at this time.

As long as you die enough times, there will be no place you cannot go. If there is, it means you have not died enough times.

"You used it, grave cake."

"You continue to go deeper..."

"You were once again torn into pieces by the lightning beast in the clouds..."

"You are dead."

"But this time, you feel like there are some changes in yourself, but you can't tell exactly where the changes are, so do you still want to persevere?"

When Jiang Xinghuo read the description of the text, he wondered if there might be any unexpected gains.

He had no intention of giving up in the first place, and now that this has happened, it is naturally impossible for him to give up.

"You opened your eyes again..."

"You died again at the hands of that lightning beast..."

This cycle repeats itself, and every time Jiang Xinghuo dies and is resurrected, he can advance a certain distance.

At the same time, the game text also constantly gives him hints that every time he is killed by the lightning beast, new changes will appear on his body.

In reality, Jiang Xinghuo also gradually felt this change, because as long as his mind moved, silver-white arcs of electricity would gush out from the pores all over his body.

It was not until the number of scapegoats for the day had been used up and more than a dozen grave cakes had been consumed that the game text finally underwent new changes.

"You opened your eyes again. Everywhere you looked was a sea of ​​thunder. The sky and the ground were filled with endless lightning. Behind the layers of lightning, you vaguely saw a majestic and ancient gate with two totems engraved on it in the language of an unknown race - Lei Ze!"

"You've got it, Raize."

"You relied on the immortality cursed by the mortal world to finally discover the legendary entrance to Lei Ze."

"But at this moment, the lightning beast that killed you dozens of times, riding on endless thunder, rushed towards you again."

Tsk, I’m going to die again!

Jiang Xinghuo was mentally prepared.

The grave cakes have been almost used up. If more people die, he will have to buy some materials to prepare some more, so that he won’t have to run the map again.

But this time, the subsequent development was completely beyond his expectations, because he did not repeat the same mistake and was torn to pieces and killed by the lightning beast.

"The lightning beast controls endless lightning and sweeps towards you, and the brilliant lightning instantly submerges your figure."

"But you didn't feel the pain you imagined. Instead, you felt unusually comfortable. The endless lightning flowed into your body through your pores, constantly tempering your body." "You can clearly see the impurities and filth left in your body being tempered by the lightning and turned into wisps of black smoke that disappeared."

"Your physical fitness has been greatly improved, +10."

"You have obtained the inheritance of the Qilin Body Tempering Technique."

"Qilin Body Tempering Technique (Rare), one of the 800 Qilin Techniques circulated in the secular world, can draw thunder to temper one's body. It is very helpful in strengthening and improving physical fitness. It can also improve the practitioner's perception and use of thunder power."

Another Qilin technique!!
Jiang Xinghuo's eyes suddenly lit up. He didn't expect that the thunder beast lurking outside Lei Ze was actually evolved from the power core of Qilin Technique.

This was also thanks to his identity as a player. He kept dying and coming back to life, and managed to inherit the Qilin Body Tempering Technique with his life.

It was worth it that he died so many times. Seeing that it was almost dawn outside, Jiang Xinghuo looked up at the time.

Four o'clock in the morning.

He tossed and turned for almost four hours, but his hard work finally paid off. He not only found the gate and entrance of Lei Ze, but also inherited a Qilin technique.

There are eight hundred Qilin techniques in the secular world. If he could collect all of them, even if he is not invincible, no one would be able to trouble him.

But this is obviously not very realistic. The eight hundred Qilin techniques might be scattered somewhere. It might take several years to collect all the eight hundred techniques.

It is better to let it go and not force it.

"What are you going to choose next?"

"You have now inherited the Qilin Body Tempering Technique, and your physical fitness has been greatly improved. The benefits to you are already great enough. Do you still want to continue to venture deeper and explore inside the Thunder Lake?"

The game gives two options: explore further or leave and go back.

Jiang Xinghuo took a look at the interactive options given and chose the first answer without hesitation.

That is definitely something we need to continue exploring.

It's impossible to go back!!
unless,

Only after he merges the Lost Shrine into the gate at the entrance of Lei Ze will he consider leaving Lei Ze and exploring other places.

You have completed the previous 108 bows, and this final step is all that’s left. You must not let them down.

"You chose to continue exploring further."

"You unfolded the Eight Phases of the World, bathed in the rolling lightning, and walked forward with difficulty..."

"Your physical and mental energy has been severely affected, and your health is rapidly decreasing."

"Current health: 75%."

When Jiang Xinghuo saw that he had lost so much blood, he thought that if he delayed any longer, he would probably die a few more times. It would be better to end the battle quickly since he would die sooner or later anyway.

"You have activated the divine movement method."

"You have activated the Dragon Vein Land Control Method."

"You have activated the wind control method."

"You have activated the talent of the Cloud-Walking Boots."

Jiang Xinghuo actively triggered all the props and skills that could increase speed, and controlled the character to rush towards the entrance of Lei Ze ahead at the fastest speed.

Of course, the consequence is that given his current physical condition and the pressure he is under, he is unable to trigger the effects of these skills at maximum intensity at the same time.

"Your health is decreasing rapidly..."

"You can feel your blood boiling, your heart showing signs of collapse, and countless drops of blood splashing out of your pores like raindrops..."

"You're all torn apart."

"And it was a physical split. The whole person slowly exploded from the head and died, and the body was scattered all over the ground."

"You are dead."

"But before you died, you came to the gate of Lei Ze, and the majestic and ancient stone gate was within your reach."

Done! !
Seeing the prompt message in the game text, Jiang Xinghuo breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he had finally successfully arrived at the entrance of Lei Ze.

The character in the game used props and skills at a high intensity, and ended up exploding and dying.

This feeling also had some impact on him in reality. His muscles began to feel sore, just like a person who had not exercised for a long time running 800 meters. It was a bit uncomfortable but still within an acceptable range.

Moreover, the Qilin Body Tempering Technique also took effect at this time, and soon the pain in the body disappeared.

Jiang Xinghuo then realized that in order to maximize the effect of the Qilin Body Tempering Technique, it is best to do it when the body has been traumatized or tired.

Just like exercising muscles, you need to damage the muscles first before they can slowly grow bigger and stronger.

"Do you want to use the grave cake to revive immediately?"

After Jiang Xinghuo died, he did not rush to resurrect. Instead, he opened the magic bag first and looked at the number of grave cakes. There were less than three pieces left. If something unexpected happened again, they would not be enough.

So Jiang Xinghuo went to the niche shop again, bought some materials for making it, and spent more than half an hour preparing two dozen grave cakes for himself, as well as some dry food for the dog.

The difference between grave cakes and dog food is that the former can directly revive the dog after use, and can also heal injuries, restore blood and cure diseases.

Not only does the latter not have the function of healing and restoring health, but after using it, you will be resurrected at the nearest resurrection point, which means you have to run the map again.

So after getting the grave cakes, dog food was put aside for the time being, but I always kept some on hand in case it might come in handy.

After doing all this, Jiang Xinghuo returned to Lei Ze again.

"You have arrived, Raize."

"Lei Ze is one of the three great lakes in the world according to secular legends. It is also the most dangerous of the three lakes. It is said that the creatures living in Lei Ze are born to be the favorites of thunder. There are even many monsters and demons that are transformed from the essence of thunder and lightning and possess unparalleled killing power."

"Legend has it that the Lord of the Secular World had a close guard in the past. He was later appointed as one of the Three Dukes and held a high position of power. He was a thunder dragon in the Lei Ze Lake. He once swallowed up 30,000 rebels with his own strength and frightened all living beings in the secular world. However, on the eve of the dawn, the thunder dragon suddenly disappeared without a trace. No one knew where it went."

"However, many people have seen the Thunder Dragon returning to the Lei Ze Lake with a coffin and hiding in seclusion. That coffin is the 'Dragon Burial Coffin' that only the True Dragon Emperor can use."

"But the truth of this statement is unknown for the time being, because no one has ever been able to enter Lei Ze to verify it."

"What are your options now??"

"Do you plan to enter Lei Ze and explore immediately? Or do you choose to integrate the Lost Shrine into the Lei Ze Gate?"

"This way you can teleport here via the shrine anytime in the future."

Jiang Xinghuo suppressed the urge to enter the Lei Ze to explore. He now only had one Nine-Death Cicada Shell to use. If he wanted to enter the Lei Ze to explore, he had to go in with his real body.

But doing so would delay the exploration of the City of Origin. If we were unable to leave Lei Ze in a short period of time, the exploration of the City of Origin would be completely ruined.

Therefore, Jiang Xinghuo finally chose the latter and planned to integrate the Lost Shrine into the gate of Lei Ze.

"You took out the Lost Shrine and wanted to merge it with the Lei Ze Gate, but Lei Ze's power is very repulsive to outsiders, and your Lost Shrine cannot be integrated with it at all."

"You triggered the Golden Rule."

"You activated the power of the Golden Law in your body and blessed the Lost Shrine. With the protection and blessing of the Golden Law, Lei Ze also chose to accept this power."

"You have successfully merged the Lost Shrine with the Razer Gate."

"In the future, you can use the power of the Lost Shrine at any time to teleport from other places to the entrance of Lei Ze."

It worked!
Jiang Xinghuo was completely relieved when he saw the prompt in the game text. As long as the Lost Shrine could be successfully integrated, he would no longer have to worry about missing Jingzhe and not being able to explore here again.

The next thing he had to do was to go to the City of Origin and unlock this large copy that was suspected to be the ultimate map of the secular world.

Of course, it is impossible for him to completely explore the City of Origin right now. Even if he wants to, he probably doesn't have the ability to do so. He can only unlock the map first and then explore it slowly when he has the chance in the future.
