The myth begins with the Lotus Lantern

Chapter 121 Heavy Rain
The magpie fairy left.

After a while, the sun set completely and night came.

The cicadas continue to chirp day and night.

After the White Snake and the Green Snake sent the Magpie Fairy down the mountain and came back, Ding Lin had dived into the water again.

The White Snake and the Green Snake looked at each other, bowed at the lakeside, and then retreated back to their own nests.

That night, the Green Snake did not go out. She stayed in the cave with the White Snake, practicing with their eyes closed. After all, the desire for food and drink can only be an occasional tonic during practice. For a monster, cultivation is the most fundamental thing. The Green Snake naturally understood this principle, and she practiced very hard on weekdays.

The top of the mountain returned to silence again.

The fifth fairy looked around, pursed her lips, and began to collect dead branches. Originally, she planned to collect them during the day, but Ding Lin Quexian's conversation was not deliberately avoided openly, and the fifth fairy could hear it. And stranded in this unknown place, she naturally wanted to know something about the situation, and secretly followed and listened for a whole day, so the firewood collection was naturally delayed.

A bright moon hangs in the sky.

The five fairies bent down, picked up the dead branches one by one, and carried them to the huge rock.

Only a little bit of her magic power was restored, and she had to do everything by herself. Having lost her power, she felt as if she had become a mortal. No, even worse than a mortal. At least mortals had adapted to such a complicated life, but she just felt uncomfortable everywhere. Fortunately, she brought some elixirs with her, which could not only heal her wounds but also fill her stomach. Otherwise, she would have to find food by herself, and life would be even more difficult.

Finally there was enough firewood, and the fifth fairy picked up a handful of fallen leaves to use as a starter. She was indeed a quick learner.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew.

The leaves held in the palms of their hands were blown away, brushing the cheeks of the five fairies and scattering in all directions.

A cloud came and blocked the bright moon.

In the darkness, the five fairies were stunned for a moment before they bent down and started collecting the fallen leaves again.

A moment later, next to the boulder, after a crackling sound, an orange flame lit up, a little at first, and then moved. A bonfire was lit, and the sound of "beep pop" was heard. The flame reflected on her face, and she finally felt a little more stable.

The five fairies sat down against the boulder and looked up.

Tonight, there are no stars and the moon is obscured by clouds.

The whole sky was pitch black.

And after that gust of wind, the air became silent, without a trace of movement.

I don’t know if it’s because the bonfire is burning too brightly, but it seems to be hotter tonight. In the past, as the sun set, the temperature of the ground would gradually decrease, but tonight I can’t feel this trend at all. It’s very dull.

"Wow!"

There was a sound coming from the small lake.

The five fairies looked in the direction of the sound and saw a fish. It seemed that it could not stand the dreary weather and floated to the surface of the lake, wagging its tail and tumbling in the water.

"Clap!"

Suddenly, something fell on my face.

The fifth fairy raised her palms and brushed her fingers across her face, feeling the wet touch.

This is……

rain?
rain.

It's raining.

"Clap! Clap!"

The raindrops were as big as soybeans, and they were noticeable when they hit my body. A few drops of rain choked the fire, and the flames flickered. After all, this peace was just a false feeling, like a rotten window frame, which could be maintained on normal days, but would shatter at the touch of a strong wind.

A trace of panic flashed in the eyes of the five fairies. They looked around and saw the White Snake and the Green Snake hiding in the cave with peaceful faces, in deep practice. They had not noticed the coming of the rain, or maybe they had noticed it but were unwilling to pay attention. They had a haven to shelter from the rain, so they didn't need to care about these things.

She looked again at the small lake where Ding Lin was. In the lake, the fish was still floating on the surface, but had become quiet again. Apart from that, she did not see the red shadow that she wanted to see. The next moment, she could not see anything clearly.

Because the rain suddenly became heavy.

"Pfft!"

The bonfire was put out without any resistance.

Summer rain is always like this, coming quickly and suddenly.

The fifth fairy was caught off guard and wiped her face with her hand. She was still wearing the animal skin that Ding Lin gave her. The material was taken from the deep-sea spirit demon, so she was naturally not afraid of the rain. However, there was no way to hide her head and face. The rain was like steel needles piercing her pupils. She barely squinted her eyes and looked around, but she could no longer see anything. The dense rain curtain blocked her vision, isolating her from the world.

It seemed that she was the only one left in the world.

Her hair was washed away by the rain and stuck to her face, making her look more disheveled than ever before.

The fifth fairy lowered her head again. Not to mention the bonfire, even the dead branches she had picked up were all washed to pieces by the rain. Only a little bit of thin spiritual energy was restored in her body, which was not enough for her to hold up the shield. The spiritual light in her palm lit up, and she took out a weapon, intending to open a cave in the boulder in front of her to take shelter temporarily, but -

"Clang!"

As soon as the magic weapon came into her hand, she couldn't hold it anymore. She staggered and fell to the ground with a huge force. The magic weapons brought by the five fairies were all top-grade, and top-grade magic weapons meant that the materials were extraordinary and the weight was naturally not light. Now her spiritual energy had not recovered, and her body was seriously injured. She had only one hundred percent of her strength left, and she couldn't hold the magic weapon at all.

The five fairies turned around and looked in the direction of the lake again, but nothing happened.

Unexpectedly, she thought of the fire she had lit last time.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier. The five fairies bent down and squatted, hiding their heads and faces, but they still could not avoid the rain. The cold feeling slid down the ends of their hair, across their necks, and then the icy rain flowed down the ends of their hair and into their lapels, making them look a little embarrassed.

The fifth fairy suddenly felt aggrieved, and then sad.

It obviously shouldn't be like this.

……

bottom of the lake.

Ding Lin's consciousness searched around, but it was empty as always, and he couldn't find any trace of the Earth Soul.

Just when Ding Lin thought that today was another day of wasted work, the weather suddenly changed from dry to misty, and during this change, he suddenly saw a black light.

A fleeting moment.

Ding Lin's consciousness immediately chased after it, but because it happened suddenly, he was still a step too slow. The shadow escaped very quickly and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

It’s the earth soul.

Ding Lin opened his eyes, with a hint of excitement and reluctance in his eyes.

After such a long period of excitement, he finally found the trace of the Earth Soul. He was unwilling to watch the Earth Soul slip away without capturing it, thus wasting the opportunity in vain.

However, overall I am still mostly encouraged. There are not so many examples of success in one go.

This time he discovered the Earth Soul under such circumstances. Next time, he will know what to do. There is a long time to go. With this experience, at least he is no longer in the dark and is much closer to success.
