At this moment, another round of lightning struck, and Chen Shen was chopped into pieces again.
This time, the young man's tiger's mouth grasping the Gang Core Glazed Cauldron was torn apart by the pressure, and blood flowed down his arms, like a stream or a waterfall...
Taking advantage of the opportunity for Lei Neng to gather again, Chen Shen hurriedly took out a rejuvenation pill and swallowed it. While temporarily healing his injuries, he did not forget to ask: "Just what?"
The mysterious old man paused for a moment, as if he was surprised that the other party was clearly about to die, but he still bothered to ask him about the follow-up situation?
After a moment, his slow voice started again: "It's just that, after countless centuries until now, my life span will be exhausted."
"But none of the humans and mysterious beasts that I rescued from this place have fulfilled their promises."
At this point, there was another long sigh.
"That's right! My grandfather could have lived for many, many more years!"
"But in order to save humans and animals, he has to sacrifice thousands of years of life each time."
"But what's the result? The number of humans and mysterious beasts who were rescued from the desperate situation of Thunder Punishment totaled not one thousand but eight hundred, but they never came back..."
Hearing the naughty child's complaint, Chen Shen was shocked: "Let me go! According to this, the mysterious old man has a lifespan of millions of years at least, right?"
"Hiss—the life span in the Xuanhuang realm is increased by a thousand years, and the life span in the Xuanzong realm is increased by ten thousand years. It is said that longevity is boundless."
"I'm still not sure about Xuanzun and Xuanjun who are going up."
"And this guy, who doesn't know whether he is a human or an animal, has lived for millions of years? Even a powerful person in the Xuanjun realm may not be able to do it, right?"
"Wait a minute... That naughty boy insisted that he was the grandson of a turtle before. Could it be that this eloquent old man is actually some kind of turtle beast? Is that why his lifespan is so long?"
With his mind spinning, the young man couldn't help but ask: "Then why did you let the rescued people come back here?"
"To help my grandson get out of trouble."
The old voice was faint and lingering: "I know that there is no hope of getting out of trouble in this life, but my grandson still has a chance."
"About 10,000 years ago, my little grandson had not yet hatched into the world. At that time, as long as he was a human or a mysterious beast in the middle-level Xuanhuang realm, if he was willing to listen to my instructions, he could be rescued easily."
"But now... I'm afraid I need to have at least Xuanzong realm cultivation to save him from this place."
When Chen Shen heard this, he became more and more puzzled: "The grace of survival should be repaid, so why did they all leave and never return?"
"Haha, because they are all afraid of experiencing another lightning disaster and losing their lives."
Turtle Lao smiled bitterly and said: "If you want to rescue my grandson, you must wait until the thunder roars in the mountains and take action when the power of the seal is at its weakest."
"At that time, I will also use all my strength to help my grandson escape from the seal. As a result, the protection of the people who rescued my grandson will be somewhat inadequate. If you are not careful, they will be killed by the thunder.
Down……"
Hearing this, Chen Shen finally realized that no wonder none of the people who had been rescued were willing to come back.
To be honest, anyone who has experienced the desperate situation of a thunderstorm will all talk about the change of color of thunder for many years to come, and their hearts will tremble when they hear the thunder.
How many people can fulfill their promise with a heart of repayment even though they know that they will end up with a narrow escape from death?
After a brief silence, Chen Shen suddenly laughed: "Senior, why don't you let them swear and make a blood oath? Or don't you tell them the dangers of coming here again?"
"Blood oaths are not allowed. Blood oaths secretly attract the vast will of God, and can be conveyed to that person through the formation that seals me..."
"That person?" Chen Shen was a little confused.
This "Old Turtle" obviously didn't want to mention it anymore, and just said: "If that person knows that my descendants are still alive, he will definitely come back to eradicate it, which will harm my grandson."
"As for the danger of concealing it... Haha, firstly, I don't disdain lying and deception. Secondly, I know very well what it feels like to be deceived and how much resentment the person who is deceived will have."
"Just imagine, if my grandson is successfully rescued from this place by someone who I deceived, and that person is resentful, and I can't escape, that person will vent all his anger on my grandson."
"I see. However, there is still something unclear about this junior."
"Since you no longer intend to save people from thunder disasters, why do you still want your precious grandson to jump out and talk to me? Why don't you just sit back and watch?"
"Well...because he is lonely!"
"For ten years of hard imprisonment, he was not allowed to talk to anyone. Only during the ninety-nine and eighty-one days of the Ten Thousand Thunder Roaring Mountain period, he could speak relatively freely."
"If we don't let him relax at this time, I'm really afraid that he will be depressed all year round and get sick..."
Hearing this, Chen Shen sighed softly: "Alas! What a pity the hearts of parents in the world!"
Just as he sighed, the rolling thunder struck down again!
"Click!"
"Rumble, rumble, rumble..."
After this wave of thunder fell, Chen Shen couldn't even lift the Gang Core Glazed Cauldron!
His arm bones and shoulder bones were shattered. Although the effect of the Rejuvenation Pill was strong, it was difficult to repair the bone injuries immediately.
Chen Shen had no choice but to lie down on the ground, carry the Gang Core Glazed Cauldron on his back, and crawl forward inch by inch using only the strength of his two toes on the ground.
"Pfft hahahahaha, grandpa, look, he is also learning from our mysterious...ahem turtle clan!"
After the little kid mentioned the word "Xuan", he coughed in a secretive manner. I don't know if it was intentional or a coincidence?
At this time, Chen Shen didn't have time to pay attention to those details. He only heard the other party say: "But what he learned is nothing like it. The big pot lid looks like a turtle shell, and it's not as good-looking as ours, hehehe!"
Chen Shen rolled his eyelids and said casually: "This is not a pot lid, but a cauldron, a cauldron used for refining medicine. You naughty kid, don't yell if you don't understand!"
"What is medicine refining? What is a cauldron...?" the little boy asked in a crisp voice.
"You want to know? Hey, can you be a little discerning? Didn't you see that my brother is busy running away now?"
"Ask your grandpa, the old man knows a lot more than me!"
After Chen Shen said that, he stopped talking to the other party and just gritted his teeth and climbed.
"You haven't given up yet? Don't you want to just climb to the other side of the mountain?"
The naughty child said in a sweet voice: "I advise you to stop struggling. The area covered by lightning is a hundred miles in radius. If you crawl like this, you won't be able to get out in ten days and a half."
"At that time, there were probably tens of thousands of thunderbolts falling on you, and you were dead..."
Chen Shen was angry and cursed: "You said you are obviously a turtle, but why do you have a crow's mouth? Say something nice and you will die!"
"Hahahahaha! Interesting, interesting!"
At this time, the old man suddenly laughed, "Boy, I have been watching you for a long time. You have perseverance, courage, and some brains. Most importantly, you have the backbone. You know you are about to die but you still refuse to ask me to save you."
"I ask you, if I save you from this difficulty this time, are you willing to come back to this place a hundred years from now at the latest and rescue my grandson?"
