Versatile Mage: Thunderstorm

Chapter 173 Reaching out to the Ancestral Monument

While the battle was in full swing outside, everything inside the Thunder Forbidden Zone was calm.

When Li Yu arrived at Mingxia Valley where the ancestral monument was located, the scene that caught his eyes made him secretly shocked. There were more than twenty mages waiting at the pass of Mingxia Valley, both high-level and mid-level. You know, he had already gone to Mingxia Valley as soon as possible, and these people were probably about the same size, and their target was very obvious.

Moreover, in Li Yu's impression, these were almost all local mages from Leicheng. At this moment, he finally began to feel the attraction of the so-called ancestral monument to the mages of Leicheng, which could actually make them give up the temptation to take resources as they pleased.

"But why are you stopping here and not going in?"

After Li Yu said this subconsciously, he was embarrassed to find that everyone was looking at him as if he was a fool, and then this look quickly turned into surprise.

"How dare you, an outsider, come here without even taking the resources of the Thunder Forbidden Land?"

"How do you know I'm from outside?"

Li Yu still remembered that he had asked the same question to a bird not long ago, and now he repeated it again.

"Except for outsiders who don't know the environment of Mingxia Valley, there would be no fool in Leicheng who would force his way into Mingxia Valley."

“Isn’t this an open area?”

"Ha~"

Someone sneered:
"Opening up only means that the guardians won't stop you from entering, but the rest depends on your own strength."

"Oh?" Li Yu asked curiously:

"From what I hear, I have to pass a test to enter the valley?"

"What else can we do? The ancestral monument is intelligent and will never allow anyone it dislikes to get close to it." A wizard said casually after picking his ears and blowing on his fingers.

"Want to try it, bro?"

A wizard who was looking for trouble smiled and pushed Li Yu.
"You defeated Vice Commander Lu in the past, so passing the test shouldn't be a problem."

"What? He is the one who defeated Vice Commander Lu?"

After a certain wizard's promotion, Li Yu won the unusual attention of this group of unfamiliar wizards. The chilly air made Li Yu a little worried that he would be beaten up. Such a large group of high-level wizards was indeed difficult to deal with.

"Ok!"

"good."

"It's him."

To Li Yu's surprise, a group of people exchanged glances and nodded their heads inexplicably. Just when Li Yu was on guard, the mage who had played with fun said directly:

"Within a radius of one kilometer around the ancestral monument, there are thunderclouds that hover all year round. Except for the guardians who carry special lightning protection equipment, anyone who dares to intrude will be continuously struck by lightning. Oh, and by the way, the power of each lightning bolt in the outermost area is comparable to that of mid-level lightning magic. The closer to the core, the higher the intensity of the lightning attack."

"If you want to successfully approach the ancestral monument, you can only rely on two things. The first is your own lightning resistance, and the second is enough and powerful defensive magic."

"Otherwise, with the physical fitness of our high-level mages, if they were hit by a bolt of lightning, they would just lie on the ground for a few days."

The man saw Li Yu lost in thought and said:

"How about it, brother, do you want to give it a try?"

Li Yu looked suspiciously at this group of magicians who were working as hard as salesmen. This strong sense of conspiracy made him feel uncomfortable.

"Don't you want to try it?"

"This is our first time here too. The news we heard before was just hearsay. We need a powerful pioneer to verify our guess."

The man spoke quite frankly.

"Brother, you will have to go in sooner or later. There is no need to delay your actions because of us."

"..."

When Li Yu walked into the area covered by thunderclouds and tried to be struck by a bolt of lightning, he smiled to himself:
"Is it such a simple thing?"

Although it may sound a bit arrogant, Li Yu still wants to say,
"That's it?"

Under his powerful control over the lightning, the thunder that seemed to be full of destruction to others could not hurt him at all. Under Li Yu's influence, all the lightning that struck him avoided him like a mouse seeing a cat. All this was noticed by the guardians who had been paying attention to Mingxia Valley.

"Such people……"

“It’s really scary.”

A guardian sucked his teeth and said with envy and jealousy.

"Don't even think about it. For people like this, God prepared a full banquet for them and personally fed them. We can't envy them."

Those who are responsible for guarding the ancestral monument are the elites among the guardians and the most reliable group of people. They have received instructions from Tian Yi in advance to act as witnesses of this legend.

"But if those guys knew that they were fooling this person, I wonder if they would regret it in the future?"

A guardian suddenly had an idea.

"I don't know if they will regret it in the future, but at least they are happy now."

A guardian who was obviously an elder also participated in the gossip.

At the Mingxia Valley Pass, the magicians mentioned by the guardian were having a heated discussion.

"Is it not a good thing that we didn't tell him enough is enough?"

A mage who still had a conscience said hesitantly.

The thunderclouds gathered by the ancestral monument will only attack those who move within the coverage area of ​​the thunderclouds, instead of killing them all like ordinary restrictions. As long as you stop in time and enter the state of cultivation, you can enjoy an intoxicating speed of cultivation.

But they had concealed this fact before. If the other party insisted on going ahead and something bad happened, it would be a big test for their conscience.

"calm down."

The mage who had deceived Li Yu at the beginning waved his hand and said casually:
"I have learned from the guardian in advance that the spirit of the ancestral monument is very measured and will only test rather than screen. Those who cannot bear it will at most pass out, but will not be in any danger of life."

"Then you just told him that there would be a surprise after touching the ancestral monument..."

"Isn't there any?"

The man had a smile on his face, as if he had succeeded in his plot.

"I didn't say whether the surprise was good or bad. It was just a lightning strike. It's nothing serious."

"Besides, although that guy is powerful, it is still unclear whether he can get close to the ancestral monument. Instead of worrying about this now, it is better to adjust our condition so that we can practice deeper into the range of the ancestral monument. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

…………

“Is this the ancestral monument?”

Li Yu looked up at the jade-like stele that was about seven or eight meters high. The black base and the stele covered with lightning stripes were not harmonious, but instead looked a bit weird.

Even if he was just standing in front of the ancestral monument, he could feel the oppressive feeling of the coming disaster. The thunder galaxy in Li Yu's mind had always been restless, like a naughty child making a fuss at home, but now it was as silent as a stone.

Curiously, he glanced at the figures sitting cross-legged around the ancestral monument. The staggered distribution of their positions looked a bit mysterious, as if they were some kind of formation.

When facing a guardian who looked like a leader, Li Yu opened his mouth to speak, and the former said as if he had predicted the future:
"If you want, you can get up close to the ancestral monument."

"Won't that be a taboo?"

Li Yu was very surprised by the other party's casualness.

"What's the taboo? There are always some guys who want to try new things. We've seen it all these years."

"Thank you very much."

After Li Yu thanked him, the other party left him and returned to his seat, while Li Yu walked closer to the stone tablet.

Then, as if possessed by some mysterious force, he stretched out his hand towards the base, and his palm connected with the black base.

"boom!"
