Versatile Mage: Thunderstorm

Chapter 166 Li Yu: Elemental demon?

Two days later, near a mountain somewhere in Leicheng'an territory.

One hundred mages including Li Yu who had passed the selection and obtained the quota stopped at an open space under the leadership of Leicheng's great guardian Tian Yi and the guards. Li Yu's reaction was no different from that of the others. They looked around curiously. The place was surrounded by mountains on three sides with only a dirt road passing through the mountain pass. The bare mountains were barren of grass and trees, and the rolling black clouds never left the valley for a moment.

Afterwards, there was a commotion among the crowd. Li Yu looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the great guardian had opened his right hand. A magic circle that was different from any magic pattern was suspended in front of him. Silver light surrounded the great guardian. Twenty meters ahead, a space vortex with a diameter of about ten meters gradually opened.

Everyone could guess that this space vortex was most likely the entrance to the Thunder Forbidden Area. Thinking of the rich harvest in the Thunder Forbidden Area, everyone's breathing became heavier.

At this moment, the cold and serious voice of the Great Guardian Tian Yi reached everyone's ears.

“You have ten days. When the time is up, the guardian of the Thunder Forbidden Zone will guide you out based on your location.

During this period, the resources you have obtained in the Thunder Forbidden Area can be placed in the five-cubic-meter storage bracelet provided by Thunder City. After leaving the space, there will be a special person to check and verify. Anything below 500 million can be taken away, and Thunder City will not interfere. "

"but!"

Tian Yi's voice suddenly turned cold.
"No fighting is allowed in the Thunder Forbidden Zone, and the use of destructive magic is not allowed. If you violate this rule and disturb Master Thunderbird's practice, you will bear the consequences yourself!"

As soon as the words fell, everyone's heart suddenly shuddered. Although they already knew the rules of the Thunder Forbidden Zone, the murderous words of the Thunder City Great Guardian made everyone feel as if they were falling into an icy cave.

However, Li Yu felt a familiar operation.

"Mind-shattering?"

Without giving Li Yu any time to think, Tian Yi's voice rang out again.

"Now, everyone, please come in."

At the command, everyone began to walk slowly towards the whirlpool. Due to the intimidation of the Great Guardian, no one spoke. It was quiet and the crowd seemed to be in good order.

When the last person's figure sank into the space vortex, Tian Yi also controlled the magic circle to slowly close and made a gesture.

The guard mage behind him stepped forward.
"Great Guardian, what can I do for you?"

“After I enter the space, you will be guarding the teleportation formation. No one is allowed to approach, even the high-ranking members of my Guardian lineage.

Those who don’t listen to advice…”

A cold light flashed in Tian Yi's eyes.
"You can launch an attack directly, regardless of life or death."

It seemed like the first time he had heard such ruthless and murderous words. The guard mage was stunned for a moment, then bowed and said:
"Yes."

"If there is unrest in the defense line of Thunder City, you can send a message through the Thunder Talisman. I will come out within an hour after the message."

"clear."

Tian Yi reopened a passage that could accommodate one person and stepped into the whirlpool.

Then, ten guard mages were dispersed throughout the valley under the command of the captain of the guard, guarding the surroundings.

……

"Hey~"

Accompanied by a slight sound of space fluctuations, Li Yu's figure appeared on the endless purple plain.

He leaned over and pulled out a piece of tough, serrated grass from the ground. The moment he pulled it out, a small arc of electricity suddenly jumped out from the connection between the grass root and the soil.

Thunder grass is not a special species in a certain place, but is widely distributed in various areas rich in thunder elements. It grows because of thunder and ignores environmental conditions such as terrain and soil. The higher the concentration of thunder elements, the higher the density of thunder grass. Looking at the sea of ​​thunder grass under his feet, Li Yu couldn't help but sigh:
"It is worthy of being the legendary Thunder Forbidden Area. The concentration of thunder elements is comparable to the cultivation caves of many aristocratic families."

Li Yu expressed his great appreciation for this first experience that this world of thunder brought him.

Moreover, this is just a random place in the Thunder Forbidden Zone. The real core of the Thunder Forbidden Zone can be found at the feet of the totem thunderbird and the ancestral monument that was opened for the first time.

Thunder grass is an important raw material for making special thunder-attributed potions. If Li Yu chooses to stop and spend two days to collect the entire sea of ​​grass, then if nothing else, he can be guaranteed to make at least tens of millions.

If it were any other time, with Li Yu's quick-witted character, he might have really stopped and turned this sea of ​​grass into black land, but now his primary goal was the ancestral monument, and it was not appropriate to take advantage of it. Taking out the map given by the Thunder City officials, Li Yu determined that his location was exactly in the center of the Thunder Forbidden Area, the Chasing Thunder Plain, but he only knew the location. The Thunder City officials would never mark the resource sites, so giving him a map to ensure that he would not get lost and run into any restricted area was already a great favor.

"The Thunder Chasing Plain is here..."

"Thunder Mountain is here..."

"The Mingxia Valley of the ancestral monument is here."

Li Yu marked the basic information he had obtained from the outside world on the map to ensure that he would not inadvertently run under the nose of the monarch totem, and then hurried towards the northwest without stopping.

Not long after Li Yu left, a figure appeared in the sky above him. It was none other than Tian Yi, the last guardian to enter. Looking at the moving red dot on the display in his hand, Tian Yi raised his eyebrows.

"Are they heading straight to the ancestral monument area so quickly?"

He thought that all the foreign mages would be unable to suppress their curiosity about the Thunder Forbidden Zone and would take a few more turns here.

……

Thunder forbidden area, Thunder Mountain.

As the habitat of the Thunderbird, the totem of Thunder City, there are no other creatures in Thunder Mountain. The top of the mountain is bathed in endless thunder and lightning all year round and there is no human habitation. If you look at the top of the mountain from the bottom of the mountain, you may be able to vaguely see the looming figure of the totem thunderbird through the thunder.

The totem thunderbird is also very satisfied with its current situation. As long as no one disturbs it, it will not feel bored even if it stays on this Thunder Mountain for a hundred years. Unfortunately, the storm monster in the South China Sea has never given it a chance to live in peace.

Even so, fighting with the storm monster every year was a spice of life, and Thunderbird had no complaints. But today, Thunderbird felt a little strange about the location of its own troublemaker, but got nothing.

Little bastard, you ran away again.

Don’t you know that there are so many outsiders these days, isn’t it a bit dangerous?
What if I get captured by those magicians and used as a contracted beast? Terminating the contract is a very troublesome matter.

The Thunderbird flapped its wings twice unhappily without moving. Then, a loud eagle cry resounded through the sky. The eagle cry lingered for a long time and was clearly heard by the guardian guards stationed a hundred kilometers away.

The Psychic Mage in the Guard was very skilled in his job. He accurately grasped Thunderbird's meaning through the melodious eagle cry. Facing the curious eyes of his colleagues, the Psychic Mage said:

"Oh, it's not a big deal, it's just that the little ancestor ran away again this time, so let the people in charge of monitoring in the Thunder Forbidden Area pay attention to it."

"It's still the same old rule. Let the little guy go crazy here for two days, and then have someone report the location to Master Thunderbird, and he will go and bring the little guy back."

Hearing this, everyone calmed down. Some were on alert, some were practicing, and some were patrolling. This situation was very common for them who were guarding the Thunder Forbidden Area, and there was no need to make a fuss.

However, since this was a time when outsiders were entering, someone still asked hesitantly:

"Will it be okay for the little guy to run around outside alone? After all, there are so many outsiders. If something happens..."

However, the others just laughed at this.
"What could possibly happen?"

The original Psychic Mage laughed and said,
"Old Ding, you are kidding me, don't we know how good that kid is?"

"We can't catch this little guy even with more than ten people working together. How can those lightning mages outside do that?"

"If it's really that easy to catch, is there any need to report it to Master Thunderbird?"

"That's true. It seems that I was worrying too much." Old Ding thought about it and it made sense. The little ancestor was a creature born in the Thunder Forbidden Zone and had been there for more than ten years. He lacked combat power, but his ability to escape was maxed out. Going in with the ruins and mechanisms was just like going home. How could something go wrong easily?

……

On the road from Zhulei Plain to Mingxia Valley, Li Yu silently looked at the purple bird that was staying a hundred meters away on the opposite side, and they looked at each other in surprise. This lightning sparrow that looked thin and arrogant seemed a little precious.

Li Yu made an uncertain judgment based on his fairly good knowledge reserves.

"This……"

"Could it be an elemental demon?"
