Chapter 608: Hiding is Healthier

Another two-plus quarter hours passed. He thought it had already passed and should be fine, but it was just at this moment.

A lightning bolt, without any warning, suddenly slammed down on top of Lin Zhangqing's head.

And this lightning bolt was heavier than a thousand jun, directly knocking Lin Zhangqing down and slamming him heavily onto the ground.

"Boom!"

By this time, the thunderous sound finally came over.

Fortunately, Lin Zhangqing had two or three spiritual artifacts on him that could automatically form defensive shields.

Only then did he block this suddenly appearing lightning bolt; otherwise, he would likely have been in grave danger! But at this moment, Lin Zhangqing's face was very ugly.

This lightning bolt was powerful and heavy, and he was too familiar with it. Furthermore, he himself had cultivated it; this was the Wu Earth Divine Thunder.

Since it was the Wu Earth Divine Thunder, it must have been the Three-Eyed Thunder Ape that had tracked him down.

He hadn't expected at all that even after running so far, the Three-Eyed Thunder Ape could still track him down.

Now he didn't know if this was accidental or inevitable, but regardless, this battle was definitely unavoidable.

And taking hits without fighting back wasn't his style.

So after getting up, with a thought, three thunder shields immediately surrounded him.

And he also activated two other shield-shaped upper-grade defensive spiritual artifacts.

Then he flipped his hand, and the Thunder Horn appeared in his hand, preparing to fire the Geng Metal Divine Thunder immediately after locking onto the enemy.

The Geng Metal Divine Thunder inside was something he had prepared in advance when he heard the ape roars and discovered the situation was wrong just now. He hadn't expected it to really come in handy.

By this time, Lin Zhangqing's divine sense finally discovered a huge Three-Eyed Thunder Ape standing more than three hundred zhang away.

It was looking at Lin Zhangqing with some surprise, as if it didn't understand how the Second-Stage creature before it had managed to withstand the attack of the Wu Earth Divine Thunder.

This huge Thunder Ape was about one zhang four or five in height, and the muscles all over its body were bulging, looking extremely ferocious and very oppressive.

And this size meant it was a Third-Stage Thunder Ape. Fortunately, Lin Zhangqing's divine sense only found this one, which made him feel slightly relieved.

Then, with a thought, all the Purple Crystal Scorpions flew out from the spirit beast bracelet, transformed into purple light, and headed toward the Third-Stage Thunder Ape.

Then came three Geng Metal Divine Thunders, which were all fired by him.

In fact, saying so much, from being ambushed to him fighting back, only two or three breaths of time had passed in total.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Clearly, that Third-Stage Thunder Ape hadn't expected Lin Zhangqing to use thunder techniques to attack it either, so it, too, hadn't reacted at all.

It took the three hits solidly, and three clouds of blood mist exploded on its body. It was immediately covered in blood, and it was also blasted down by the divine thunder!

However, in any case, it was a Third-Stage, earth-thunder dual-attribute demon beast with strong inherent defense and high thunder resistance.

So after taking these three Geng Metal Divine Thunders, although it was seriously injured, it wasn't fatal in the short term. Therefore, after roaring angrily at Lin Zhangqing, it immediately wanted to use Thunder Escape to leave.

Unfortunately, the Purple Crystal Scorpions didn't agree, so dozens of purple light rays crisscrossed. "Sss! Sss!" sounds were heard incessantly.

Then came a huge, shrill scream, which was so loud that even Lin Zhangqing was given a big fright.

And conservatively estimating, this sound could travel at least forty or fifty miles. He was worried about attracting other Three-Eyed Thunder Apes.

So he immediately rushed over, collected the Three-Eyed Thunder Ape's corpse into the spirit beast bracelet, and then immediately set off to continue his journey.

Only this time, Lin Zhangqing was equipped with the Wind-Thunder Wings and used the Thunder Escape Technique to travel in the forest.

Although this speed was relatively fast, it consumed quite a bit of thunder mana. Normally, he certainly wouldn't do this.

But this situation was special; he had to leave here quickly, lest other Three-Eyed Thunder Apes track him down.

Sure enough, using the Thunder Escape Technique to travel was fast. By the time he had exhausted all the thunder mana in his apertures,

he had already moved at least over a thousand miles. If he followed this speed, he should be able to reach his destination by evening.

And at this distance, Lin Zhangqing also believed the Three-Eyed Thunder Ape wouldn't pursue him anymore, so this time he was truly relieved! However, not long after he finished the Thunder Escape and switched to ordinary sword flight, he encountered trouble again.

Originally, he thought that since he had left the Three-Eyed Thunder Ape's territory so far, there should be nothing else, so he flew in the sky on his sword to travel.

He didn't expect to encounter a Black-Feathered Mystic Thunder Bird once again, and from far away, it gave Lin Zhangqing a Ren Water Divine Thunder first.

Fortunately, he had just experienced the Thunder Ape's sneak attack and had been keeping several layers of shields up, so he didn't suffer too much damage.

However, this divine thunder blasted him off his flying sword, and he almost fell to his death. In the end, the Wind-Thunder Wings saved him once again.

There was nothing to say; he had already encountered this kind of thing once.

So after landing, he quickly found a place and hid himself with the light gauze magic treasure.

And he prepared the Thunder Horn, ready to reward it with a few Geng Metal Divine Thunders as soon as that Third-Stage Black-Feathered Mystic Thunder Bird dared to approach.

Fortunately, that Mystic Thunder Bird wasn't smart. Unable to find Lin Zhangqing's figure from afar, it really did approach the place where he had landed to check.

The final result was that at a distance of three or four hundred zhang from Lin Zhangqing, it was counter-ambushed by him.

It took the attack of three Geng Metal Divine Thunders, was seriously injured, fell into the forest, and was then found and killed by the Purple Crystal Scorpions.

This time, Lin Zhangqing had been ambushed again, truly adding injury to injury. If he hadn't been a body cultivator, he might not have been able to hold on!

However, although this was the case, he didn't dare to stop to rest. He couldn't stay in this place for too long.

Because the commotion here just now wasn't small, and he was afraid of attracting other demon beasts, which would be troublesome! So he roughly collected the Third-Stage Mystic Thunder Bird's corpse, and then Lin Zhangqing continued his journey! This secret realm was truly too dangerous. He decided that after reaching his destination, if there was no necessity, he wouldn't leave that place again! He would recuperate from his injuries there, and use the remaining time for closed-door cultivation until the secret realm trial ended.

Fortunately, he finally had a stroke of luck. For the remaining time, he didn't encounter any more Third-Stage demon beasts.

And for the Second-Stage demon beasts he encountered, Lin Zhangqing also chose not to take action if he could avoid it.

He didn't want to provoke any Third-Stage demon beasts in the end. As long as it didn't affect his journey, he would just pretend he hadn't seen them.

And so, finally, when the sky turned completely dark, he arrived at that small valley.
