Chapter 2488: The Three Principles of Storm Flare
"It's getting late today, let's set off tomorrow!"
"Then your injuries..."
Die Mengqiu looked at Lu Yun's waist, where the cloth was stained with blood.
Lu Yun lifted the corner of his shirt, revealing the wound on his waist. The wound had already scabbed over, and even the newly grown granulations were clearly visible.
Die Mengqiu was stunned, "Wow... such a terrifying self-healing ability!"
"Go to bed early! Get enough rest. You don't know what kind of weather we'll encounter tomorrow!"
As Lu Yun spoke, he half-lay on the stone, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
The next morning, a sudden roar woke Lu Yun up.
"Who is it?"
Lu Yun rubbed his sleepy eyes as a bolt of lightning came straight towards him.
All sleepiness disappeared in an instant. Lu Yun rolled over and dodged nimbly. The lightning struck the stone and arcs of electricity splashed out.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly, otherwise he would never be able to open his eyes again.
As if he remembered something, he didn't dare to delay. While picking up the slightly hot stone at hand, his eyes began to search for Die Mengqiu.
But people didn't notice that Lu Yun actually discovered that the environment he was in had undergone a drastic change. There were lush bushes and tall and straight tree trunks, but now there was only sand and cacti covered with thorns.
Without bothering to think about what was going on, Lu Yun raised the stone above his head and ran quickly towards his three o'clock direction.
He bent his body, stretched out his left hand, and pulled one hand out of the quicksand.
"Cough cough!"
A coughing sound came from Die Mengqiu's mouth. If Lu Yun hadn't rescued her in time, she would have been suffocated to death by the quicksand.
"You saved my life again!"
Lu Yun seemed not to have heard anything and stuck the stone upright into the ground. "Hide in the shadow of this stone, I guarantee you'll be fine!"
With a loud bang, a bolt of lightning exploded violently less than five feet away from them, sending sand and rocks flying everywhere.
"Is this really useful?" Die Mengqiu looked at the stone he was leaning against, and the believers couldn't help but wonder.
Can a piece of stone withstand such a fierce lightning?
But the next second, she realized that her idea was completely unnecessary.
A bolt of lightning happened to hit a stone, and sparks flew everywhere, but the stone remained intact.
From then on, she said no more and hid obediently in the shadow of the stone, waiting for the strange weather to pass.
"What exactly is going on?"
Lu Yun asked Die Mengqiu in confusion, "How come that forest disappeared overnight?"
Die Mengqiu shook her head, "I don't know!"
"Kun Kun only told me the three main rules to follow when dealing with a storm flare: first, you can temporarily avoid danger by taking shelter in the woods or by a stream; second, don't get close to people or objects with bones; third, if you see someone without a shadow, turn back immediately. That's all!"
Lu Yun could still understand the first one, but the last two were a bit strange. However, since they can be called the three major principles, they must be the result of the lessons learned from blood and tears of the four major races.
Although I don't know what it means, it's better to stay away from it.
As the saying goes, it is better to believe it exists than to believe it does not exist.
While Lu Yun was thinking, the thunder had quietly passed and the sky was clear. If he didn't leave now, when would he leave?
"Lead the way!" Lu Yun put away the stone and put it back on his back, then gestured to Die Mengqiu.
Die Mengqiu took out the purple crystal and began to change its position continuously until it was facing behind the two people. The crystal then emitted a faint light that was almost invisible to the naked eye.
"It seems that the Beiming Kun clan is a bit far away from us!"
"Not bad!" Lu Yun was very content. At least he didn't have to wander around like a headless fly.
From one person to two people, the horrible weather is still the same as yesterday, changing at any time.
Fortunately, he is not as embarrassed as when they first met, and he has the simple and unpretentious artifact, the stone.
The ordinary bad weather has no effect on Lu Yun and Die Mengqiu at all.
As time went by, Die Mengqiu became more and more amazed at the stone Lu Yun carried on his back.
This is not a stone at all! It is clearly an unremarkable half-world device.
It can not only block lightning, but also resist sandstorms and rain. It is simply omnipotent.
But the peaceful time obviously doesn't match the tone of the storm flare.
Soon they encountered another dense jungle, standing on their way.
"Would you like to go in and rest for a while?"
Die Mengqiu raised her head and looked at the scorching sun above her head. It happened to be a hot summer day and the temperature around her was close to 50 degrees. She was already exhausted from the burn.
"It's best not to hold too much hope. It's most likely a mirage!" Lu Yun was not trying to discourage her, but Lu Yun had seen it too many times himself.
"You'll know only when you get closer. If it's really a mirage, it's just bad luck!" Seeing Lu Yun agree, Die Mengqiu instantly became energetic. When she thought about being able to rest under the cool shade of the trees soon, an inexplicable strength surged out of her body.
After walking in, I found that this was not a mirage, but there was indeed a small forest.
"I was saying, my luck can't be that bad!"
Lu Yun relaxed his shoulders, said nothing, and walked into the woods.
Neither of them noticed that a whitish bone was hanging from the top of the tree next to them.
They found an open space with the largest shade and sat down.
"I don't know your name yet?" Die Mengqiu asked.
"Just call me Pengboba!"
Hearing this name, the smile on Die Mengqiu's face became a little unnatural.
She knew that this was the name of Lu Yun's disguised identity, not his real name.
"Then can you also find me a stone that can protect me from wind and rain and is not afraid of lightning like you?"
"Isn't it everywhere here?" Lu Yun glanced at the pile of rubble next to him.
"This stone has no origin. I just picked it up from somewhere."
"You picked it up anywhere? Zundu fake du?"
Die Mengqiu obviously didn't believe that a stone picked up at random could be so indestructible.
Lu Yun was too lazy to explain to her and said bluntly: "If you don't believe me, just pick up a piece and try it yourself."
"That's right!" Die Mengqiu said as she stood up and walked towards the pile of rubble.
Lu Yun had a rare moment of peace and quiet, so he sat on a rock and closed his eyes to rest.
But as soon as he closed his eyes, he heard Die Mengqiu's cry: "Help...Help!"
Lu Yun immediately looked in the direction of the sound, and saw five black tentacles extending from the pile of rocks, tightly wrapping around Die Mengqiu.
The already pale face had been strangled to the point of being completely bloodless.
Seeing this, Lu Yun didn't bother to think about why there was danger in this supposedly safe forest, and quickly rushed to rescue.
But as soon as his feet touched the ground, several black tentacles emerged from the ground around him and rushed towards Lu Yun.
