【Law of the Abyss】

I don’t know how long it was before the thunder stopped and the sky became clear, as if nothing had happened.

Lei Yinuo walked in and saw Mu Bei squatting nearby. He breathed a sigh of relief that he was fine. But then he saw the frightened look on his face and felt disgusted with him, thinking he was so timid.

At this moment, Lei Yinuo was not in a much better condition in Mu Bei's eyes. His hair was messy and smelled burnt. His face was also covered with bruises and black spots, not to mention his clothes, which were full of charred holes.

"Were you struck by lightning?

Lei Yinuo's face froze, "Yeah."

Mu Bei exclaimed, Oh my God, he guessed it right, this guy is too strong, he is fine even after being struck by lightning?

"Why did it thunder out of nowhere?" Mu Bei asked casually, not expecting Lei Yinuo to tell him at all.

The so-called Leiyin Mountain should be called Leiying Mountain. The thunder here is like the shadow of the mountain, following it everywhere and coming and going without a trace. No one knows why there are so many thunders here. Uncontrolled thunders will strike all the trees and houses on the mountain, and even attack people. Many young talents of the Lei family have been killed by thunder.

"Then why don't you leave?" Mu Bei was a little speechless. Everyone knew that there were frequent thunders in this place, but they still didn't leave. It was simply incomprehensible.

"We can't leave. This is the fate of the Lei family. We can't escape it no matter where we go." Lei Yinuo looked gloomy, and then he said: "It is also because of this fate that we have become what we are. We are born in thunder and we will die in thunder."

The unique conditions allow the Lei family to practice thunder magic with twice the result with half the effort. As their cultivation level increases, the situation between humans and thunder has long been reversed. The Lei family members are gradually no longer afraid of being struck by thunder, and they even practiced the Nine Heavens Thunder Magic, which allows them to absorb the power of thunder through their own body and release it when needed.

After hearing this, Mu Bei had only one word in his mind: Awesome!

Because of this, the Lei family was feared by other practitioners. They no longer went out and stayed in Raikage Mountain, practicing wholeheartedly.

According to rumors outside, Raikage Mountain became Raikage Mountain, and the Rai family became a mysterious big family.

Lei Yinuo took Mu Bei to visit all the Lei family's places, except the Lei family ancestral hall.

"This is the Lei family's ancestral hall. Outsiders are not allowed to enter." Lei Yinuo said.

Mu Bei understood. When he passed by the Lei clan ancestral hall, he took a secret look. The door of the hall was closed and it didn't look like anyone was there.

"You really don't want to go in and take a look?" A long-lost voice suddenly came to my mind.

Mu Bei was startled. "Come on, that's their ancestral temple, where they put their tablets. Why should I go in there?"

"How do you know what's inside if you don't take a look? Are you really not going?"

"Don't go."

"Aren't you looking for some Thunder Dragon Ball?"

"What does this have to do with anything?"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk!"

"Wait...you mean, that thing is in there?"

"Hey, Xiao Qinglong, stop playing dumb and speak."

The other party had gone offline, and no matter how Mu Bei called, no one answered.

At night, Mu Bei sneaked out and came to the outside of the Lei family ancestral hall. The door was closed. How could he get in?

He walked around the Lei family ancestral hall but couldn't find any place to enter. Just when he was at a loss, someone came.

He immediately smeared a few drops of the Night Listening Beast's soul liquid on his forehead. The last time he summoned the Night Listening Beast's soul, he discovered the hidden function of its soul liquid, which is that it can become invisible and enjoy some of the functions of exotic beasts without summoning the beast soul.

But he had no idea how long he could remain invisible, so he simply put a few more drops on his face.

After seeing who was coming, Mu Bei was stunned. It was Lei Yiming? He looked around and made sure there was no one there, so he opened the door and went in.

Mu Bei followed immediately, and luckily he ran fast, and the door of the ancestral hall closed immediately after he came in.

Mu Bei patted his chest lightly and calmed his breathing. He didn't dare to breathe too loudly for fear of being heard. After all, being invisible only meant that others couldn't see him, but it didn't mean that others couldn't hear him.

Lei Yiming glanced in his direction, and Mu Bei was so scared that he dared not move immediately. He could only wait until he left before he quietly followed him.

The ancestral hall was very large. Mu Bei followed Lei Yiming for a long time and came to a small room. The walls of the room were divided into countless small compartments. There was a lamp in each compartment. Some of the lamps were burning brightly, some were about to go out, and some were covered with dust.

The base of each lamp has a name engraved on it. This is a soul lamp. When a member of the Lei family is born, someone will light his soul lamp in the ancestral hall. The lamp is on when the person is alive, and it goes out when the person dies.

Lei Yiming picked up the soul lamp with Lei Zhengze's name on it. The lamp had been extinguished long ago. He wiped the dust off the lamp with his sleeve and put it back.

"Dad, are you okay? Yinuo is fine. I'm getting married tomorrow, and I haven't seen you for a long time." His voice was low, as if it had been soaked in water. Mu Bei felt a lump in his throat when he heard it. He missed his uncle.

Lei Yiming felt depressed. His eyes fell on Lei Huodie's soul lamp. The red light was particularly eye-catching and vibrant among the row of yellow lights. A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth without him even noticing.

Then, he looked at his soul lamp again. The white light was very dazzling, but there was no joy on his face. Instead, his expression became more and more gloomy. He stepped forward to move the soul lamp. Unexpectedly, there was another soul lamp with his name on it behind it. The difference was that that lamp was very dim, and the faint yellow light looked particularly small against the white light, as if it would be swallowed up by it in the next second.

He looked at it, then moved the white light back to block it. No one knew that there was another light hidden behind the powerful white light, a soul lamp that truly belonged to him.

Judging from the situation, he probably won't be able to hold on for too long. He just hopes that everything can be completed as planned before that.

Mu Bei was dumbfounded watching from the side. He really didn't expect to make such a discovery. Lei Yiming was about to die?

Before he could react, Lei Yiming suddenly covered his chest with his hands. The veins on his hands bulged, as if countless earthworms were crawling along his hands and onto his face.

His eyes were bloodshot and his whole body felt as if it had rolled in boiling water. He clenched his teeth, trying desperately to stop himself from screaming. He couldn't make any sound. He said to himself, just bear it in, it will be fine soon. I've endured it so many times, haven't I?

Mu Bei felt depressed and uncomfortable watching from the side. He saw Lei Yiming hunched over with one hand covering his chest and the other hand supporting himself on the ground. Big drops of sweat dripped down, wetting the ground beneath his feet.

Finally, after a long time, he fell to the ground powerlessly, and the bulging veins disappeared and returned to his body.

Lei Yiming closed his eyes and lay on the ground for a while before getting up. He walked to the corner of the room, where there was a totem of the word "lei". He put his hand on it and whispered something in his mouth. Mu Bei could not hear clearly and did not understand.

He recited for a while, and the ground moved, revealing a cave entrance that was one person wide. Mu Bei followed him in, keeping a distance of about one meter from him.

Inside was a staircase that seemed to have no end. The further you went down, the colder it got until you reached the end.

Mu Bei was stunned. There was actually a natural cave underneath. It was very spacious, about ten meters wide. The cave was very humid. There was a wall lamp every half meter on the wall, emitting a faint green light. In the darkness, it was like a pair of eyes staring at you.

Mu Bei was frightened by being stared at. Lei Yiming continued to move forward. An underground river appeared in front of him. There was an iron chain bridge on the river. The bridge deck was connected by dozens of iron chains, and the distance between each chain was about 20 centimeters.

If people walk on it, they may step on empty air and fall into the river if they are not careful. The river water is dark and calm, and it is impossible to tell its depth. However, Mu Bei saw a large group of creatures lurking about ten centimeters below the water surface. He could not identify what they were. They were small, round and movable.

Lei Yiming stepped on the iron chain bridge and crossed the river as easily as if he were walking on flat ground. The iron chain didn't even shake.

Mu Bei took a deep breath, and as soon as he stepped on it, the entire iron chain began to shake.

"Help!" he shouted in his heart.

The iron chain shook, and all the things under the water came out of the water. The water was sparkling, as if the entire starry sky had fallen into the water. It was very beautiful. Unfortunately, it was too beautiful...

Looking carefully, he saw that those glowing things were slowly rising up and were about to touch the iron chain. Mu Bei then saw clearly that the tops of those glowing things were actually round suction cups, and inside the suction cups were a circle of what looked like densely packed and intertwined fangs. This reminded him of lampreys, a very scary marine creature.

Mu Bei suppressed his fear and continued to move forward. He was already halfway there when the iron chain creaked. No matter how careful he was, he still made the noise, which sounded particularly harsh and unusual in this quiet underground.

Lei Yiming turned around and asked: "Who?"

Mu Bei stopped moving, and the shaking of the chain bridge became less. Lei Yiming stopped and walked back. When he came to the side of the chain bridge, the bridge was empty, without a single person in sight.

Mu Bei took a deep breath and said, "Brother, you are too cautious. You even looked back on purpose." But he still underestimated his level of caution.

The next second, Lei Yiming pressed somewhere on the chain bridge and heard a click, as if some mechanism was opened. Mu Bei felt a vibration under his feet and the chain he was standing on actually shrank back like a spring, and the glowing things in the river became even crazier, stretching upwards desperately and almost biting him.

He could no longer care about anything else and shouted desperately: "Brother Yiming, help!"
