A pitch-black sky, the sound was deafening.
With the sudden descent of lightning, Thunder Canyon became as bright as day.
Lightning struck the ground, its deafening thunder spreading out like the Thunder God in the heavens madly beating a drum.
At this moment, lightning insects emitting a faint blue glow descended from the sky.
They chased after the thunder.
The thunder descended from the sky, the time was very short, just a moment’s work.
But the lightning insects could perfectly follow behind the thunder, devouring its electric charge.
A swarm of lightning insects together could even devour a lightning bolt from the sky completely.
Subsequently, the lightning insects would split into more lightning insects, which is their way of reproduction—nonsexual reproduction.
Ye Bai saw the lightning insects approach, so he directly set up a lot of roasted meat on the ground.
Because it was smoked over charcoal fire, the roasted meat was black.
Smelling the aroma, the lightning insects swarmed over.
The sound of crunching came from the ground.
Although their name includes "insect," lightning insects are not of the insect element.
The reason they are called lightning insects is that these exotic beasts are only as big as a human’s thumbnail, like insects.
They can emit a blinding blue light that illuminates everything around them.
These exotic beasts count as elemental life forms, but their lifespan is even shorter than an ant’s.
[Name: Lightning Insect]
[Level: Tier Two Level One]
[Skills: Thunder Eating (Skilled): Devours a lot of thunder to restore its own stamina, heals its injuries, and when the amount of absorbed thunder exceeds.
Soaring (Skilled): Their light bodies allow them to fly high in the sky at will.
Electricity Generation (Skilled): Releases the current absorbed within the body, with a certain probability of falling into a state of paralysis.
Furious Thunder (Beginner): Summons countless thumb-sized lightnings from the sky to strike opponents.]
[Evolutionary Path 1: Thunder Spirit, Tier Three Thunder Crystal Core, gnawing Thunder Grass, absorbs enough electricity without splitting, can evolve into Thunder Spirit.]
"Thunder Spirit, this is quite a remarkable exotic beast."
Unfortunately, the lifespan of lightning insects is very short, making it not so easy to evolve into Thunder Spirit.
More lightning insects will split into numerous lightning insects during the process of absorbing thunder.
This is akin to self-annihilation, giving birth to more lightning insects.
If they do not chase after thunder, when their internal electricity is depleted, they will dissolve into light and eventually dissipate in the air.
Lightning insects are very pure exotic beasts, able to sense the good and evil in human hearts, thus gathering in front of people.
Clearly, Ye Bai and others appear as kind individuals in the eyes of lightning insects.
Thus, they surrounded Ye Bai in circles, while some spread out above.
These lightning insects helped Ye Bai resist the impact of the furious thunder, possibly thanks to the jerky facilitating good interaction.
As they walked and stopped, every time a lightning insect’s glow dimmed, it would fly to the Sunflower Emperor’s side to ask for some jerky.
After gnawing on the jerky, the lightning insect would once again shine brightly.
More and more lightning insects gathered.
With this line of defense from the lightning insects, Ye Bai felt incredibly safe.
Led by the lightning insects, Ye Bai found a cave where he could rest.
Though a good amount of furious thunder descended from the sky, pounding overhead.
But the electricity here was directly absorbed by the massive rocks.
"Looks like we found the right place."
"This is the best place for an ambush."
The Sunflower Emperor then summoned a large number of clones, ambushing them around.
Its true form followed Ye Bai into the cave.
Entering the deep cave, the walls were covered with faint blue fluorescent moss, and the cave seemed extremely long, with no end in sight. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on novel{f}ire.net
Moreover, the further down they went, the brighter the surrounding light became.
Scattered glowing thunder mushrooms dotted around the cave walls.
These are considered high-grade ingredients, and putting them in your mouth lets you feel a faint paralyzing sensation spreading in the air.
As they continued further in, the light grew increasingly bright.
Strings of tiny water droplets fell from the ceiling, gathering into trickling streams, eventually forming a crystal-clear underground river.
Plenty of stalactites were visible everywhere.
The lightning insects beside Ye Bai had also grown bigger, which made Ye Bai curious as this group of lightning insects hadn’t started splitting.
Instead, they seemed to be merging.
Could it be that the lightning insects are preparing to evolve?
But don’t lightning insects need Thunder Crystal Cores to evolve?
Ye Bai blinked questioningly, these lightning insects have extremely high research value.
Typically, lightning insects only live in thunder-filled canyons.
Researchers have thought of many ways but can’t bring lightning insects out of canyons.
Let alone research exotic beasts like lightning insects.
If it weren’t for Ye Bai having intelligence on the lightning insects’ peculiar preferences, he reckoned that with each step he took, he would be hit by furious thunder’s attack.
If time weren’t so tight, Ye Bai would undoubtedly choose to stay and observe the lightning insects’ state.
At this moment, the Blood Saint had already arrived near Thunder Canyon.
He looked up ahead, seeing the furious Thunder Dragon roaring as it descended from the sky, crashing heavily onto the nearby ground.
