Chapter 371 – Volcanic Eruption (1/2)
The previous three cuts were only less than a third of the blue crystal stone. Lei Yu pointed to the remaining two-thirds and said: “Hold onto this. Once I teach you the cultivation exercises and skill techniques, this stone will be hugely beneficial to your cultivation progress.”
When Zhou Jun Sheng was about to cry in joy, Lei Yu quickly stopped him. “I’m not going to bid Liu Da Fu farewell. This is the hand-written copy of my cultivation method. I believe that as long as you cultivate it to the end, you will become an invincible existence.” Lei Yu handed over the first half of the Heavenly Thunder Manual over. “I’m leaving now.”
As his voice faded, Lei Yu rose up into the air and flew off into the distance. Zhou Jun Sheng suddenly knelt down. From beginning to end, Lei Yu hadn’t given him a chance to say a thing before leaving. At this time, one could see Zhou Jun Sheng burst into tears. There’s a saying that for a true blooded man, there will only be two reasons where he was allowed to cry: For one’s parents and for brotherhood!
Lei Yu continued flying up higher so that he could reach the clouds and hide from sight.
“What test does the Earth Vein want me to take by bringing me to this world? Why are the people here so weak?” As Lei Yu was muttering to himself, a muffled boom echoed in the sky. It wasn’t very loud but Lei Yu still heard it very clearly.
Without thinking about it, Lei Yu turned and flew off towards the direction of the sound.
Based on the look of this thing, it had to be a volcano!
“What sort of place is this? Why is there a volcano here?” Lei Yu frowned as he looked below. Coming out of the hole of the volcano was a continuous fountain of molten lava. This was the source of the sound he had heard previously.
“Not good!” Lei Yu had noticed that not too far from the base of the volcano was a small village. The village had a little over ten families and every one of them were quickly running for their lives.
Lei Yu dove down from the sky and landed in a nearby forest before rushing towards the village.
“Quick! Quick! The lava from the volcano is about to come down! Quickly escape!” An old man with a long white beard was waving for all the villagers to escape as fast as they could.
Lei Yu went up to him, “Old grandpa, how come there’s a volcano here?”
“Young man, quickly run away! This volcanic eruption will definitely take some lives with it! You will perish without even leaving bones behind!” The old man didn’t bother replying to Lei Yu’s question. Seeing that all the villagers had left, he too grabbed a bag and followed behind.
There was no longer anyone visible in the village so it was assumed that everyone had evacuated. Before the old man started running off as well, he glanced at Lei Yu one more time and cried out: “Young man, don’t stay here anymore and quickly run! It’s too dangerous here!”
Lei Yu showed a grateful smile and was just about to leave when his spiritual senses trembled. “Not good!”
Ignoring the dangers, Lei Yu ran deep into the village. It was also at this time that a violent “boom” sound was heard and the ground started shaking. The old man was shocked as he watched Lei Yu ran into the village. He wanted to stop him but the volcano had erupted! Lava had started rolling down the volcano side heading straight for the village!
“Sigh! Young man, it’s not that I don’t want to save you. It’s just… sigh! Everyone run! Run to the elevated hill over there!”
Beyond the edge of the village, one could see the villagers had run to higher grounds. Even if the lava flowed across this area, at most it will heat up the surrounding air and not harm the people too much. At this time, a woman of the village suddenly screamed out: “My child! Where’s my child?!” It was a heart wrenching scream before the woman fainted.
