The extraordinary journey begins with the Ouroboros Stele.

Chapter 164 You've got some tricks up your sleeve, are you trying to kill me?

"Wait! I was wrong!"

Feeling the terrifying power in Lin Ye's hand, the blindfolded man slid to his knees and clasped his hands together in front of him.

But Lin Ye's hand did not stop; instead, it slowly descended.

It was as if they deliberately slowed down the pace, letting him experience the despair of death.

Upon seeing this, the blindfolded man's single eye emitted a faint light, as if a sudden inspiration had struck him.

"Fire Cloud Grass! I know where to find Fire Cloud Grass!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Ye stopped what he was doing, but the true qi in his hands did not dissipate.

You have three seconds to change my mind.

He leaned down slightly and spoke softly into the blindfolded man's ear.

The hand pressed down on the blindfolded man's head, the voice slightly hoarse.

The blindfolded man swallowed hard; in his eyes, Lin Ye at this moment was no less than a demon crawling out of hell.

"In a cave on the Fiery Volcano! Only I know about it! I've sealed it off!"

He spoke hastily, panting heavily, his eyes filled with fear.

Lin Ye snorted coldly, straightened up, and withdrew his hand.

"Walk."

The border between the Fire Domain and the Thunder Domain lies in a barren volcanic depression.

"My lord, we're not far ahead, we'll be there soon."

The blindfolded man pointed ahead, his smile obsequious yet restrained.

Before long, the two arrived at a cliff face at the foot of the volcano.

"It's right here, sir."

The blindfolded man strode to the mountain wall, felt around on it for a while, and pressed down on a stone.

"With a rumble, cracks appeared on the mountain wall, and then a stone door slowly rose, revealing a deep tunnel."

"The Fire Cloud Grass is inside, please, sir."

After saying that, the blindfolded man entered the cave, took a flashlight from a recess in the wall and shone it into the depths, then led the way.

Lin Ye followed him inside. The cave wasn't stuffy; in fact, it was rather cool.

After walking about a hundred meters, he stopped with some doubt. The further he went, the closer he got to the center of the volcano, the hotter it should have become.

Looking ahead at the cave, it wasn't a straight line, so even with his night vision, he couldn't see very far.

"Sir? Is there a problem?"

The blindfolded man turned to look at Lin Ye, and Lin Ye looked back at him.

"This is clearly a volcano, so why does it get colder the further we go in?"

The blindfolded man seemed to realize something and began to explain.

"That's right. Although the Fire Cloud Grass is named after fire, it actually grows in places where yang energy gives rise to yin energy."

"If it were an ordinary volcano, the Fire Cloud Grass wouldn't be able to grow; only in such special places can it."

Lin Ye nodded slightly; the information he had previously gathered did not mention this point.

It is said that Fire Cloud Grass prefers shade and usually needs to be used in combination with Yin spiritual materials. Innate Miro Root is a typical Yin spiritual material.

Continuing onward, the faint sound of water came from ahead, and soon the two arrived at a cave.

Lin Ye scanned the area and, with his night vision, quickly spotted a pool of water inside the cave.

"Sir, look over there."

Before he could take a closer look, the blindfolded man pointed forward with a light on.

Lin Ye followed the light and saw a pair of eyes emitting white light open in a cave, releasing a terrifying aura.

【Ingredient Name: Black Thunder】

[Ingredient Tier: Lord Tier]

Edible part: Heart

[Effects of Consumption: Significantly increases physical constitution, moderately increases agility, moderately increases neural recruitment ability, self-healing ability, and bone density. Nourished by Black Tribulation Lightning, moderately increases True Qi Tribulation Lightning attributes.]

Evil Qi!

Immediately, Lin Ye completely disregarded any information about the ingredients and turned to run away.

With his current strength, he can withstand a few blows from ordinary evil spirits.

But if it's a top-tier evil spirit, he'll be dead in just three to five moves!

They rushed towards the cave entrance, but one figure had already reached the entrance.

"Bang!"

He pressed the mechanism, and a dozen arrows as thick as a baby's arm shot out from the rock wall, hurtling towards the forest.

At the same time, a stone door descended from above the cave entrance.

To be precise, it wasn't a stone door, but rather the entire cave entrance was hanging down. If you rushed in at that moment, you would be crushed into mincemeat.

Lin Ye waved his hand, and his true qi swept out, directly crushing all the arrows into scrap metal.

But in that short delay, the stone door at the cave entrance had already fallen down.

The blindfolded man leaned against the cave entrance, watching Lin Ye with a triumphant, maniacal smile.

"Hehehe... So what if you're powerful? So what if you have a powerful background! You're still going to die here!"

"Die here with me! Hahahaha!"

Lin Ye tilted his head and laughed in anger.

As he stepped forward, the surging true qi pressed the man tightly against the wall.

A hand pressed down on the man's head, and he leaned over.

"You've got some nerve, risking your life to harm me?"

The blindfolded man tilted his head back, grinning, "So what? So what! I have that power!"

Lin Ye's eyelids trembled with anger. "Power? Fine! I'll show you what power is!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he pressed down with his palm, and the true qi of the tribulation lightning directly paralyzed the blindfolded man's body.

"puff!"

The blindfolded man's head was pressed into his chest, bulging out completely.

After doing all this, Lin Ye stared at the corpse and suddenly froze.

It felt like his soul had left his body and then returned. He took a deep breath and realized that something was wrong with his mental state.

What's going on? What exactly is affecting my mental state?

"roar"

Before he could think any further, a low growl came, and a giant black tiger slowly walked out of the cave opposite.

It is over five meters long, and nearly ten meters including the tail. Its powerful muscles are visible even through its fur.

Lin Ye's face was tense as he looked at the ingredient information.

His name is Hei Leiji. What is the connection between him and Jieji?

Are the food items a kind of spiritual projection? Not a physical entity?

Consuming it can enhance the tribulation lightning attribute in one's true qi.

He quickly analyzed the response based on the information about the ingredients.

"roar!"

Black Thunder stopped in front of the cave and roared to the sky.

Black lightning bolts appeared out of thin air, forming an area that rapidly expanded, resembling an electric grid.

Lin Ye felt a chill, but he did not dodge. He was enveloped in the true energy of tribulation lightning and let the electric net fall on him.

The next moment, the lightning and electric net swept past him without causing any harm.

Black Thunder lowered his head and stared intently at his prey.

This is the first time it has encountered a creature immune to its own lightning strikes.

It must be delicious!

"Whoosh!"

The black tiger shadow appeared in front of Lin Ye, assuming a pouncing posture, first appearing illusory, then solidifying.

The tiger's claws descended, without any lightning or tribulation lightning, only pure physical power.

Lin Ye felt the surging wind and his pupils contracted.

He only had time to raise his arm to block before being sent flying in the next second.

The tiger's claws sliced ​​across the stone wall, leaving smooth scratch marks, and cut the blindfolded man's corpse into three pieces.

Strangely, the blindfolded man's corpse did not bleed; instead, it turned into specks of light and vanished, leaving only a dull, murky gray-white jade bead in place.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Lin Ye's body bounced a few times on the ground before crashing heavily into the stone wall beside him.

He coughed up a mouthful of blood and struggled to lift his head.

The power is terrifying! His physical strength alone is absolutely comparable to the pinnacle of hard qigong!

And it is definitely not weak even among the peak of hard qigong!

In its prime, this Black Thunder was absolutely comparable to a top-tier evil spirit!
