It doesn't matter if your souls are scattered, as long as you die.

This sentence stopped Emma's laughter, Vikram revealed a sinister expression, Pastor James's face turned cold, and Black Hawk snapped out of his thoughts about whether it was Yun Li.

"Zhidu, what do you mean by 'lamb to the slaughter'? What do you mean by that?"

Vikram carried the black, slippery snake to Master Zhidu, his eyes, as cold as the snake's, fixed on him.

Emma also stood up, her usually teasing and arrogant eyes turning icy cold.

Pastor James stood there without moving, but one could faintly sense the anger emanating from him.

Black Hawk was shocked, but he didn't show it on his face.

Master Zhidu put his hands together and recited, "Amitabha."

"It means we all fell for their trap."

"You mean the bounty in Xiangcheng is a trap?" Pastor Zhan asked.

"No!" Zhi Du shook his head. "The bounty is real, but someone is using it to try and capture all the talented people from various countries."

Emma: "Oh, how do we catch them all at once?"

"Trap everyone in Bijin Mountain and kill them one by one."

"Kill them one by one, does that mean this lightning ability user is the executioner?" Black Hawk asked tentatively, pointing outside.

"No!" Zhi Du shook his head again. "It's someone else!"

"Haha..." Emma laughed, disbelieving. "You said you'd trap us? How? And who's going to trap us?"

"It's an Onmyoji!" Pastor Zhan recalled the Onmyoji's words that lightning ability users couldn't escape Bijin Mountain.

If the lightning ability users can't escape, then they might not be able to escape either.

Pastor James's words caused Emma and Vikram's expressions to change, as they also remembered this incident.

but……

"The Onmyoji has been buried alive by that lightning ability user."

"Burying him alive doesn't mean he's dead, and his death doesn't mean the formation trapping us is gone."

"Once the lightning stops, let's try to go down the mountain," Black Hawk suggested.

The others didn't say anything this time and each found a place to sit in the living room.

The lightning struck for two hours, until Yun Li felt his superpowers were about to run out.

Logically, she should have stopped before her powers were exhausted, because completely exhausting one's powers and having only a little left are two completely different concepts.

Having a little bit of superpower left is like a person who has missed a few meals; it's just the feeling of hunger.

However, when his superpowers were completely exhausted, he felt like he was starving to the extreme, experiencing the agony of being close to death.

However, although it's uncomfortable, there's one benefit: after recovering, your superpowers will be enhanced.

Therefore, this time she chose to exhaust her superpowers.

She needs greater power, and hopefully next time there won't be a barrier that lightning can't break.

She persisted for another twenty minutes until her powers were completely exhausted. Before her consciousness faded into sleep, she entered the space and collapsed in the fields.

The generals, both high and low, all gathered around.

The little boy has grown up now and is no longer the child who would bite her clothes and lick her face when he didn't understand anything.

At this moment, they surrounded Yun Li, quietly guarding him.

……

The next day, at six o'clock in the morning

The thunder stopped, and it got light. The several talented individuals who had been staying on Bijin Mountain all headed down the mountain.

Last night's thunder and lightning instilled a sense of fear in some people towards Bijin Mountain, causing them to deliberately avoid looking at it even when passing by.

It's like watching something and then being targeted.

The Xiangcheng government originally had no intention of interfering with the actions of these talented individuals, but after witnessing the lightning last night, they could no longer remain silent.

He then agreed to the request of the newly joined superhuman Morita, allowing all the extraordinary individuals to enter Bijin Mountain to jointly fight against the lightning superhumans.

After receiving the news, Morita showed no outward expression, but inwardly he was planning which country's people to deal with first.

……

When Monk Zhidu, Black Hawk, and the others arrived at the entrance to the mountain, they saw Jiang Wei and dozens of others sitting in a sorry state on the road at the entrance.

There were also many hammers, wooden sticks, knives and other tools scattered on the ground.

"Captain Jiang, what happened to you guys?"

Black Hawk stopped not far from Jiang Wei, his eyes scanning the surroundings. The trees were all charred black, but the houses were unharmed. Why were they all sitting outside?

"us……"

"Ugh, what the hell is this?!"

Jiang Wei had just opened his mouth when he was interrupted by a scream. Looking in the direction of the sound, he saw Emma standing behind the transparent wall, covering her forehead, her face full of anger.

Vikram took a step forward, and with a 'thud,' his foot was blocked by something. You could see a momentary look of pain on his face; he had kicked his toe and hurt himself.

"We can't get out. When the lightning struck last night, we tried to go down the mountain, but no matter what we did, we couldn't break through this transparent wall."

Jiang Wei spoke weakly.

What he didn't say was that the team members were terrified after seeing such a large-scale lightning strike last night, and they desperately tried to get down the mountain.

Emma and Vikram exchanged a glance, then one took a few steps back, and the other retreated more than ten meters away.

Emma held the tip of her umbrella against the invisible, transparent wall, and a beam of golden light shot straight ahead.

As a result, the golden light disappeared without a trace, as if it had been absorbed by something.

Emma's bright blue eyes were blazing with fury.

Being trapped is a minor matter; the major issue is that she couldn't break free, which means she's no match for that Onmyoji.

His self-esteem was severely damaged.

At that moment, Vikram walked over.

Emma glared at him irritably and stepped aside.

Vikram took a red snake of unknown species from the bamboo basket at his waist.

This snake was much smaller than the black snake, and its drooping head made it look like it hadn't woken up yet.

The snake handler flicked its head with his finger, and the red snake instantly woke up, turning its head to look around before finally fixing its gaze in front of it.

"Go, break through the barrier ahead."

The red snake slid down to the ground and returned to the barrier, its head held high, its red vertical pupils turning into slits.

Black Hawk kept a close eye on it the whole time, wanting to see what this snake was capable of, so that he could at least be on guard if he encountered it again in the future.

result……

He saw the red snake flick its tongue once and then slink back into the bamboo basket.

Black Hawk: "..."

Emma: "..."

Zhi Du: "..."

Pastor James: "..."

Team member Jiang Weizhong: "..."

What exactly did it go to do? Was it going to taste the barrier?

Vikram met everyone's gazes, blushed for once, and turned away to avoid their eyes.

He wouldn't explain, because if he did, it would expose Xiao Hong's abilities.

After a while, Pastor Zhan broke the awkward silence, "I'll give it a try."

He walked up to the barrier, took the cross hanging around his neck, put it to his lips, and muttered something under his breath.

After reciting for about a minute, he placed the cross in his palm and slapped it straight forward.

The moment the cross touched the barrier, everyone clearly felt something being touched, and the space itself shook.
