"Good grief," Xiao Yi chuckled as he looked ahead at the densely packed Wind Thunder Fruits.
"This trip hasn’t been in vain after all."
He had come to the Wind Thunder Dangerous Land for training, but in truth, the experience hadn’t been particularly effective.
It was mainly to complete the task set by Duanmu Palace Master and to take a trip here.
Now, these Wind Thunder Fruits, each of significant value, were indeed a fine harvest.
"Big brother..." Lei Bao and the other two were already showing feverish excitement in their eyes and made as if to go pick them.
"Easy there," Lei Hu barked softly, glaring at them, "Have you forgotten just how perilous the Thunder Pool is?"
On hearing this, the other three couldn’t help but shudder.
"What’s the matter?" Xiao Yi inquired.
"In the Thunder Pool," Lei Hu said gravely, "apart from the rampant and dense thunder and lightning, the farther one travels, the more terrifying the force becomes."
"There’s also another most troublesome danger."
"What is it?" Xiao Yi asked, his tone indifferent.
Though he had some understanding of the situation in the Wind Thunder Dangerous Land,
Lei Hu and the others were Asura Warriors with plenty of experience in the Wind Saint Territory, clearly knowing more.
"Wind Thunder Winged Lions," Lei Hu said with a grave face.
Wind Thunder Winged Lions, the dominant demon beasts of the Wind Thunder Dangerous Land, ranked Level 9.
In terms of strength, they reached the Heavenly Extreme Realm First Layer.
Of course, Xiao Yi or Lei Hu could handle a creature at the Heavenly Extreme Realm First Layer.
The problem was that Wind Thunder Winged Lions tended to live in groups.
"Is this the lair of the Wind Thunder Winged Lions?" Xiao Yi frowned.
"Yes, sir, exactly," Lei Hu confirmed somberly, "Inside the Thunder Pool lies the lair of the Wind Thunder Winged Lions."
"However, they generally live deep within the Thunder Pool."
"Because the thunder and lightning are extraordinarily terrifying there; they prefer living in such astonishingly electrically charged places."
"As for us martial artists training in the Thunder Pool, no one dares to go too deep."
"Of course, if we ventured too deep, we wouldn’t be able to withstand the power of the thunder and lightning either."
Xiao Yi nodded.
Lei Hu continued, "The presence of Wind Thunder Fruits inside the Thunder Pool is no secret."
"After all, this place is rife with rampaging thunder and lightning; it’s normal for it to have Thunder Attribute Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures."
"But such an occurrence of over a hundred fruits appearing at once is quite rare."
Xiao Yi knitted his brows, "If I’m not mistaken, the reason this place is the lair of the Wind Thunder Winged Lions, aside from being a haven of rampaging thunder and lightning where they’re comfortable."
"It must also be because of these Wind Thunder Fruits."
"Right," Lei Hu responded, "Wind Thunder Winged Lions feed on Wind Thunder Fruits."
"These rare Heavenly Materials and Earthy Treasures not only are treasures for martial artists but also are great supplements for demon beasts with a Thunder Attribute."
"Previously, there were martial artists who tried to pluck these Wind Thunder Fruits."
"But without exception, they all perished here."
"Hmph, those beasts are quite tyrannical," the three Lei Bao said coldly.
"These Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures are nurtured by nature and should be available to everyone, yet they’re completely monopolized by those beasts."
"You guys leave first," Xiao Yi said gravely, "I’ll give it a try."
"Sir, you plan to...?" Lei Hu widened his eyes.
Xiao Yi nodded, "I’ll try to pluck these Wind Thunder Fruits before the Wind Thunder Winged Lions react."
Lei Hu’s eyes lit up, "Given your speed and strength, there shouldn’t be much of a problem."
"Okay, we’ll leave first so we don’t hold you back later."
The four prepared to depart.
However, at that moment, several Wind Thunder Winged Lions emerged slowly from the electricity hundreds of meters away.
"Roar." A few Wind Thunder Winged Lions let out a roar.
Then they lazily lay down on the ground and fell soundly asleep.
They were situated right beside the Wind Thunder Fruits.
"Damn it, why have those beasts come out?" Lei Hu’s expression changed.
All five hid themselves, taking advantage of the dense thunder and lightning around them.
The Wind Thunder Winged Lions hadn’t noticed them.
