357 Unexpected events (1/2)

”Yes. Did they forget that attacking the lightning strikes and even taking the help of others will make the tribulation clouds angry?” Ajax asked the Hawk captain as he looked at the stalemate between the lightning strikes and Elders.

”According to tribe leader Qwerek's calculations, there is a loophole in the lightning tribulations of five elemental world,” The Hawk captain sat on the ground and watched all the elders using array plates to fight the lightning strike.

”What? A loophole?” Ajax was shocked to find a loophole in the tribulations and curiously asked him.

”The loophole is as long as you don't attack the regular lightning strikes from the tribulation cloud. There will be no lightning strikes from it,” The Hawk captain explained as he looked at the surrounding Hawk tribe members who were still immersed in their cultivation.

”Huh?” Ajax raised his brows hearing his words before asking, ”So, you are saying as long as the elders attack the sixth lightning strike, then there will be no more additional strikes?”

”Yes,” The Hawk captain simply nodded his head at Ajax's words.

”Also, the reason he made use of that initial two barriers was for the sake of the Hawk tribe?” Ajax finally started to understand how far the tribe leader had thought before breaking through into the demi-king realm.

Just from the rich lightning essence of nature from the four lightning strikes, more than half of the tribe members had reached the commander realm and some even reached the elite commander realm.

This must be what it was called 'Turning a disaster into a blessing'.

Originally, all cultivators have some fear towards the lightning tribulations which make some of them even drop the idea of breaking through to the Demi-king realm.

However, Tribe leader Qwerek had successfully managed to make the most profitable deal from the lightning tribulation.

This might seem too easy for him but the result of harnessing the lightning essence of nature gave them a little more trouble which they had already planned.

If any of the elders or Qwerek were careless for even a single moment, then it would have resulted in Qwerek's death.

But still, the fruits of their labour were yet to be enjoyed, so none of the Hawk tribe members was unable to enjoy their increment in the cultivation since their tribe leader still didn't cross the lightning tribulations.

'This is riskier than I thought,' Ajax thought in his head as he continued watching the tribulation.

The reason he felt it was a risky move was that if by any chance Qwerek dies in the process of crossing lightning tribulations, then the other tribes would try to invade the Hawk tribe.

”Yes, but at the same, it is to give time for the tribe leader to stabilize his cultivation,” The Hawk captain added another reason for the use of the barriers.

”Okay,”

'A tribe needs a good tribe leader,' Ajax suddenly thought about Krico and the fire crow tribe.

According to Ajax, Krico was not even suited for the tribe leader position for his ego. So, he thought that a tribe needs a good tribe leader for at least the tribe to remain alive.

'Aargh'

As he was thinking about tribe leaders, Ajax heard a painful voice and immediately looked into that direction only to see the first elder cough a mouthful of blood.

'His earlier injuries must have been acting up again,'

Since Elder Cretual was closer to them, Ajax and the Hawk Captain were the first to notice and all other elders were busy with the lightning strike.

”Ajax, can you replace him?” Before Ajax could think anything, the Hawk captain forced him to replace Elder Cretaul and gave him the array plate.
