Chapter 355 The most urgent task is to find a way to get through
"That's ridiculous. It's no big deal for us to help you. Besides, without you, we wouldn't be able to come in so easily."
Su Chen laughed twice and looked at Arnold with a very gentle gaze.
"That's right. Actually, if you look closely, you have helped us. Besides, these are just some medicines to replenish spiritual power. They are not that precious."
Luoluo also laughed. The little girl in front of her was not even as tall as her chest.
The fact that he has grown up to be so sensible and cautious is enough to show how much he has suffered in the past.
After hearing this, Arnold couldn't refuse anymore. With red eyes, he took the pills and whispered, "Thank you."
Several people entered the secret passage. The passage was very old and pitch black, and they could not see the direction ahead at all.
The air was mixed with the smell of earth and even a bit of a strange odor, the smell of decay from not seeing the sun for years.
I walked forward for a long time and suddenly my way was blocked.
"There is a lightning barrier ahead, we can't get through."
Green Radish said anxiously that the barrier in front of her was very light in color, only a faint purple, but it was very obvious to Green Radish.
Arnold, however, walked past without paying any attention. When he heard Luoluo's voice, he turned around in confusion.
"Can't you come over?"
Arnold asked doubtfully, "There will be a barrier of thunder element in Leiyin Island, but it has been weakened a lot from here, and ordinary people can endure it."
Hearing this, Luoluo stepped forward tentatively, but as soon as her fingertips touched the purple barrier, she felt as if she had been electrocuted, and she abruptly withdrew her hand.
She gasped, and looked at her fingers that were about to be burnt with lingering fear. Her lips opened and closed several times, but she didn't utter a word.
Natasha didn't believe it and also placed her hand on the barrier, but the result was the same.
Even the palms of her hands were covered with dense purple lines.
Su Chen did not act rashly.
At this moment, Arnold, Su Chen and others were looking at each other from afar across the purple barrier.
"What do we do now? Can't any of you come over?"
Arnold was extremely anxious. Seeing that they tried one by one but couldn't get through, he was so anxious that he almost cried.
"You are from Leiyin Mountain, so you should be naturally immune to lightning. Moreover... you are a saint, so you have enough affinity for it, so the barrier will not harm you."
Luo Shen thought about it for a moment and immediately figured out the reason.
For places like this with ancient heritage, they may not appear to have unique thoughts and actions like humans, but in fact they also recognize their master.
There are only members of the Leiyin tribe in this world. As the saint of the Leiyin tribe, Arnold can naturally come and go freely without restrictions.
But they were outsiders, and Leiyin Mountain instinctively resisted the invasion of outsiders.
"No wonder the Sun family and the Ouyang family want to kill us all. Could it be that they want to obtain the inheritance and mark exclusive to the Leiyin people so that they can move freely in Leiyin Mountain?"
As soon as he said this, Arnold seemed to fall into deep memories.
Her eyes were lifeless, as if she had thought of something, and tears fell down.
At this moment, she was no longer in the tunnel.
My mind was filled with the time in Leiyin Mountain, when the tribesmen around me fell one after another, the long sword pierced their chests, and the blood that flowed out even dyed the land red. A woman with scars on her face raised her red lips, her expression was arrogant, but her words were cold and ruthless: "Kill all the disobedient ones, and capture that little thing alive. The mark and inheritance on her body will be of great use to me."
The entire sky seemed to have turned blood red, and Arnold's tears flowed out unconsciously, dripping onto the ground in an instant.
Several people fell into a rare silence, and the atmosphere fell into an odd stalemate.
They immediately noticed that something was wrong with Arnold, but no one took the initiative to break the atmosphere.
Arnold was stunned for a long time before he looked up, revealing a smile that was uglier than crying, and slowly explained, "Actually, it's like this. According to legend, the ancestors of the Leiyin people were the children of the mountain god. We were bred and raised in Leiyin Mountain and have never left here. We are the children of the mountain. Therefore, the child born in each generation who looks most like the ancestor is the Holy Son or Holy Daughter, and has a unique mark on his body."
"Then the reason why they are so anxious to catch you is actually related to Leiyin Mountain, right?" Natasha couldn't help but ask.
Those people are so cold-hearted and selfish that they want to kill all the indigenous people here just for their own selfish desires.
"Yes, because we have never left here before, so we don't know that Leiyin Mountain is actually restricted. This barrier will prevent anyone other than the Leiyin tribe from entering. When they came in, they spent countless natural treasures. Even after that, every time they entered and left Leiyin Mountain..."
Arnold didn't finish his words, but the painful look on his face said it all.
"The blood of my people will be added to the magic weapon."
Arno finished speaking, his face looking very grim. "But that's not a long-term solution, so...they captured me probably to figure out a way to control the entire Leiyin Mountain area."
After he finished speaking, Arnold's tone was already tinged with tears.
She didn't expect that the ultimate target of those people was herself. If she had been more obedient at the beginning, perhaps her tribesmen would not have died.
I killed them myself.
She...is not worthy of being a saint.
"It's all my fault. If I had known all this earlier, maybe they wouldn't have to die for me."
Arnold covered his face and cried bitterly, like a homeless little animal, extremely vulnerable.
"This is not your fault. It's all because of their greed that they want to harm innocent people. They are the ones who are wrong."
Su Chen subconsciously wanted to go over and comfort her, but due to the existence of the barrier, he could only stand there and speak.
"Everything can still be salvaged! At worst, I can use my life to give my people a chance of survival. It's worth it!"
Arnold clenched his fists, his eyes showing a serious look of preparing for death.
"The most urgent thing is to find a way to get through."
Luo Shen was still somewhat rational and immediately pointed out the current problem.
Although the barrier of lightning element has gradually weakened here, the energy released can still block the full-strength attack of a peak quasi-emperor.
Although Su Chen and others can destroy it, this will inevitably alarm other people in Leiyin Mountain, which would be like alerting the enemy and the loss would outweigh the gain.
Suddenly, everyone was in trouble.
Just then, a voice came.
"I smell a nice aroma. You have something good, why are you hiding it from me?"
The voice had a drowsy sound as if one had just woken up, and several people's attention was instantly drawn to it.
