Chapter 14 Triggering a Thunder Tribulation
After staying in the Duke of Bingji's mansion for two days, Li Xingyi went to the Star Dou Great Forest with some of Lin Tantian's personal guards.

Before leaving, Lin Tantian gave a necklace to Li Xingyi.

This was the condition the two had agreed upon before. If Lin Tantian wanted Li Xingyi to follow him in hunting soul beasts, he must wear the necklace. Li Xingyi put the necklace on without thinking too much.

It was not until he left the Duke's Mansion that he learned from his personal guards that the necklace was actually an eighth-level defensive soul guide that could withstand attacks at the Soul Douluo level.

It can be said that as long as the group does not commit suicide by entering the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest, this necklace will be an invincible amulet.

Li Xingyi needs 2,500 soul beasts, and he only needs to look for them inside the outer area.

There is no need to even enter the mixed zone, so it can be said that there is no danger at all.

……

The third day and night of the search.

A bonfire provided warmth at the makeshift overnight campsite.

"Ah~ There are indeed very few soul beasts with thunder attributes. I have only seen seven after two days of searching. It's a pity that either they are not of the right age or their characteristics are not suitable."

"That can't be helped! This is the Duke's guest. If we can't find him, we'll just have to keep looking for him."

This hunting team consists of only five people including Li Xingyi, and four of them are Soul Emperors.

For three days, the team had been searching with one person following Li Xingyi, searching and protecting him, while the other three searched in different directions in a diffuse manner.

It’s a pity that I haven’t been able to find a suitable soul beast.

clatter--

Da da--

"Huh? Is it raining?"

The guard who was cooking soup outside the temporary tree house felt the raindrops and subconsciously asked a question.

Hua Hua Hua——

Scattered raindrops soon turned into a heavy downpour.

Seeing this, the guards hurriedly shouted to the other tree houses, "Quick! Take the guests away! The rain is too heavy! The tree houses will collapse if they can't bear it. There is a cave over there. Let's go there!"

After hearing the shout, the others stopped what they were doing and hurriedly took Li Xingyi to a cave not far away.

The cave is not big and you can see the end at a glance. Fortunately, the angle is good and it is perfect for sheltering from the rain.

A few people lit a bonfire here again to keep warm.

"It looks like the rain won't stop any time soon. We can only stay here temporarily."

pat-

Suddenly, there was a loud noise in the distance. When I looked closely, I saw a huge purple lightning bolt striking the forest not far away.

Seeing this scene, the guards were all glad that they had just retreated, otherwise they would have been turned into a ball of charcoal if struck by such lightning.

pat- pat-

There were several more flashes of lightning.

This made several people gradually feel that something was wrong.

"How is this possible? How can lightning strike continuously in the same place? This is wrong!"

It's not strange for lightning to strike anywhere, but it's strange for it to hit one point every time.

This kind of thing will only happen in one situation, except for extremely small probability events that can be ignored.

"Do you think it might be possible that a soul beast caused the catastrophe?"

Hearing this, the other people's eyes widened at the same time. They all thought of this possibility, but no one said it out loud before.

"I think so. After all, only powerful soul beasts will trigger a heavenly tribulation when they break through or transform."

“But isn’t this the outer area? Would a soul beast powerful enough to trigger a heavenly calamity appear in this location?” “…”

The discussion among the crowd continued.

At this moment, a guard suggested: "Why don't we go take a look? If it's a soul beast in human form, we'll be rich!"

Soul beasts become very fragile after transforming, not much different from ordinary human children, so they can indeed be captured with their strength.

You should know that the prerequisite for a soul beast to transform is that it is a 100,000-year-old soul beast. Even if it transforms, the soul bones on its body will not disappear. This is a body full of 100,000-year-old soul bones!

Even if your luck is extremely bad, you can at least get a hundred thousand year soul bone.

After the guard finished speaking, everyone was eager to try.

At this time, the captain of the guards spoke.

"Are you crazy? What if a 99,999-year-old soul beast breaks through to a hundred thousand years, or even two hundred thousand years? Although they will become weak, killing us is as easy as crushing an ant! Do you want to die?"

"Captain! What if it's a soul beast in human form? A hundred thousand year soul bone in exchange for the Duke's reward, if we split it equally, it will be enough to ensure that we have no worries for the rest of our lives!"

"Yes, Captain, this is an opportunity that many people would wait for their entire lives for. Are we going to waste it like this?"

"This……"

In the end, they managed to convince the captain with their sophistry.

In fact, the captain wanted to go, but he had to do so because of his position as captain...

It can only be said that when the benefits reach a certain level, the risks will become insignificant.

Wait until the lightning stops.

Several people put on raincoats and rushed in that direction, and they took Li Xingyi with them.

They thought that the soul beast would transform, which would not pose a threat to Li Xingyi. If the soul beast broke through, then everyone would die and it would not matter if the Duke blamed them.

……

As the distance to the lightning gets closer.

Li Xing felt dizzy at first, and the feeling became more obvious the closer he was to the person, but the people around him did not change at all.

The five people soon arrived right above the lightning.

The trees, stones and land below were all in ruins, but there was no trace of soul beasts.

"Hahaha! There's no way a hundred thousand year old soul beast can be hidden in the outer area. I can now be sure that this must be a transformed soul beast, and it's hiding now! Brothers, go down and search!"

“Go, go, go! The wealth and glory of the rest of your life is coming!”

Soon, several people fell to the ground.

Perhaps blinded by the benefits, they threw Li Xingyi to the spot and ran in different directions to search for the transformed soul beasts.

"Haha... I finally found it. Although he is not a human with a spiritual attribute martial spirit, this huge spiritual power is definitely a talent!"

Suddenly, an ethereal voice was heard.

Li Xingyi could feel that the sound did not come from anywhere, but went directly into his brain.

"What a pity, I can't cry, otherwise I would be in tears!"

Bang, bang, bang—click—

Cracks suddenly appeared in the ground, and huge rocks were pushed away and splashed everywhere.

A gigantic silkworm-shaped soul beast emerged from beneath the ground.

Its entire body is a beautiful ice-blue color, and there are golden inscriptions on every section of its chubby body. Each inscription represents a hundred thousand years of cultivation.

Li Xingyi was shocked: "Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm?!"
