For a moment, Lin Beichen couldn’t bother to think about those unanswered questions he had just thought of. The changes brought about by the Thunderstruck Wood made him itch with anticipation.
He needed to test the effects of the Thunderstruck Wood.
Absorb the Electric Elements in the heavens and earth.
Instantly!
The Thunderstruck Wood’s effects unleashed to its fullest, attracting the Electric Elements in the surrounding heavens and earth.
For a moment, not only Lin Beichen’s body was absorbing much denser Electric Elements than those around, at the same time, vast quantities of Electric Elements also effortlessly through the Thunderstruck Wood, drilled into Lin Beichen’s body.
Both efforts at once!
Additionally, the Electric Elements in this vast region were incredibly rich.
Normally, during thunderstorms, it would take at least half an hour to gather Electric Elements the size of a walnut, but now, with multiple buffs, it took less than five minutes!
Lin Beichen was secretly thrilled, and without hesitation, he directly began cultivating his liver.
The familiar pain struck once again!
However, fortunately, he was already accustomed to it.
His focus never wavered and remained on his liver.
Soon, this round of liver cultivation concluded.
"Hmm?!"
Lin Beichen was initially stunned, then his previously pained expression turned into a bright, delighted smile, his eyes staring intently at the Thunderstruck Wood held within his arms, as if emitting rays of light.
Just as the cultivation ended.
He was pleasantly surprised to discover...
The rate of Electric Element recovery within his liver had notably improved, and the effect of the Electric Elements nourishing his liver had also significantly enhanced.
"So..."
"The Thunderstruck Wood can also increase the recovery rate of Electric Elements in the liver while enhancing the nourishing effects of the Electric Elements."
Lin Beichen was ecstatic, feeling like he’d struck gold. This was simply a pure Divine Artifact for cultivation!
In this way...
With the Thunderstruck Wood, the number of times he could cultivate his liver each day could increase a few more times, significantly boosting efficiency in a real sense!
At this moment, a question arose in his mind—
The effect of Thunderstruck Wood, besides this...
Is there more?
What else?
The answer lies ahead.
Lin Beichen looked at the Thunderstruck Wood in his hands, deciding to research and develop it thoroughly. He released the Thunderstruck Wood from his embrace, backed up a few steps, and sat cross-legged with his palms upturned towards the sky.
"Wa-wa——"
The torrential rain fell like a waterfall.
The rain showed no signs of stopping.
It poured down harder and harder.
Dark clouds gathered thickly, flickering with continuous lightning which gradually faded.
"Boom——!"
"Boom——!"
"..."
The low rumbling of distant thunder echoed across the sky, resounding over this area.
Standing amidst the sky and earth, Lin Beichen didn’t seem affected at all, letting the torrential rain wash him down, letting the thunder roar in his ears, remaining completely motionless.
No one knew how much time had passed.
Lin Beichen’s expression changed slightly, showing signs of confusion.
There had been no progress in his research and development on the Thunderstruck Wood. However, he didn’t believe that his current discoveries were the entirety of the Thunderstruck Wood’s effects, and he vaguely felt that the Thunderstruck Wood was not that simple, he just hadn’t discovered it yet.
The Thunderstruck Wood sat beside him.
The Electric Elements in the surrounding heavens and earth were extremely dense.
And during this process, he vaguely sensed something.
This feeling was hard to catch.
He didn’t even know where this feeling originated, where it faded away, or how to describe it.
"What is this feeling?"
Lin Beichen slowly closed his eyes, concentrating more deeply on sensing it.
Meanwhile, at a position hundreds of meters away from him.
A man was squatting on the ground, observing something.
At this moment, a lightning bolt flashed through the dark clouds.
The dazzling flash illuminated the man’s appearance, and indeed, it was the same shady man wearing a long raincoat seen in the scenic area before.
And what he was observing...
Were the deep and shallow footprints in the muddy ground that hadn’t been completely washed away by the torrential rain!
The man’s expression was very solemn, his eyes twinkling, how could an ordinary person get here? If not for the road to the base being washed away by the torrential rain earlier, he wouldn’t have ended up here either.
"Could it be..."
"The police?!"
He was suddenly startled, wondering if their hideout had been exposed.
Feeling guilty, he hesitated for a moment, then decided to follow the footprints to see what’s going on. If necessary, he would leave quickly!
"Plop——"
"Plop——"
The man walked cautiously with each step, his heart pounding in fear of encountering the police unexpectedly.
The strange surroundings, coupled with the harsh weather...
Only added to his pressure!
He had no idea how much time had passed.
As his heart was about to burst from the tension.
Suddenly!
Out of the corner of his eye, through the skeletons of dead trees, he caught a glimpse of a figure.
"Someone?!"
The man’s heart skipped a beat, turning his head abruptly to look.
Coinciding with a lightning bolt that flashed by like a camera’s flash, exposing the whole forest.
He saw the person!
This person was sitting cross-legged on the ground, seemingly meditating and cultivating Martial Arts like those characters in martial arts novels.
"?"
Not the police!
Relief flooded his heart, but immediately, a surge of rage flared up!
"Is this person nuts or what?"
"In this weather..."
"Came here to the deep mountains to pose as a master?"
"What a joke!"
The man rolled his eyes in fury. If he didn’t have other business to attend to and was wary of startling the person, he really wanted to go up and bash this idiot a few times!
Shaking his head in exasperation.
Just as he was about to turn and leave.
A dazzling bright white light suddenly appeared in an invisible position above.
Without waiting for him to instinctively lift his eyes.
"Crack——!!!"
With a deafening tearing sound, a thick and irregular lightning bolt burst into his sight from above.
"This..."
The man’s gaze frozen, eyes tinged with shock and astonishment.
The shock was obviously due to the natural power of the lightning, while the astonishment stemmed from his realization that this lightning was headed straight towards the person not far away!
"Sh*t!"
Startled, the man’s pupils contracted sharply, his body’s hair standing on end, leaving no room for additional thoughts as the lightning suddenly struck down!
"Boom——!!!"
Flash lightning exploded with dazzling light.
At that moment, the man’s pupils saw nothing but blinding white, his neck stiffened, feeling as if a current passed through his body, causing numbness.
"Too terrifying!"
"Heaven’s fury! That guy must have been struck into mere specks!"
After what felt like ages, his vision gradually recovered, and not daring to linger, fearing heaven’s wrath, he decided to leave this lightning-prone area.
But just then, through the hazy fog...
He vaguely saw a bizarre and eerie black shadow in the distance.
