Chapter 509: Ding of Barbarian God
Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy
Men of great fame must have real learning!
This saying made sense. A person must have some unique skills or means to have fame, something that could make him stand out in the crowd. How else would one earn reputation? The public was not stupid.
Similarly!
The Barbarian Race had been the overlord of the Northern Land of Barbarians for hundreds of thousands of years. The human race had several chosen warriors in history but none of them made the Barbarian Race extinct. The Barbarian Race was strong.
Lu Li stepped into the trap. He had thought that the Barbarian Race was the same with the Mammoth Race and the Titan Race which had more brawn than brain and knew no tricks.
He had learned a lesson from Rui the Iron. As a matter of fact, Rui the Iron had started the plot from the beginning. He had been acting in a violent and impulsive way to lure Lu Li who went right ahead into the trap without a second thought.
"I should have seen this coming…"
Lu Li was kept inside a space with impenetrable walls, feeling remorse. He should have known better. When he rushed out from the Tower of Delicacy, the Barbarian Race stayed put, which was inconsistent with the behavior of a race with simple minds. If the Barbarian Race were really was simple-minded as they appeared, they would have come at Lu Li right away.
It was pitch dark inside. Lu Li used his psychic power to inspect and found himself in a small space with a radius of fewer than 500 feet. There was nothing inside. It was more like an oven for alchemy.
"Hoy!"
Lu Li hacked at the iron wall with his divine weapon. There was a muffled sound and some sparkles but not one single crack or even one mark was left on the wall.
"Is this a Quasi Relic?"
Lu Li's mind was weighed down with anxiety. He had used his full strength and was holding a Holy Grade Xuan Artifact and yet he could not crack this wall by one bit. Only Quasi Relic could be this strong!
"Boom, boom, boom!"
Lu Li hacked at the wall again and again, no crack. He put away his saber. Reaching out his right hand, he scratched at the iron wall with his Blood Claw.
"Swish—"
A harsh sound came out. Sparkles spilled out where the Blood Claw was. However, with the faintly visible runes on the iron wall, it was intact.
"I am doomed!"
Lu Li sighed. His Blood Claw could essentially break everything. Needless to say, this round tripod Ding was a Quasi Relic. Rui of Iron said that this was Ding of Barbarian God. Since it was related to a god, Quasi Relic was the only explanation that could make sense.
"Buzzing!"
Right at that moment, both the walls, ceiling and the floor lit up. Many runes glared and a surge of unspeakable qi and energy spread out. Lu Li stood in the middle of the floor. Staring at the ceiling, he felt frustrated.
The energy had come from above him. It was as horrifying as if the sky was about to fall upon him and grind him.
"Squeak, squeak~"
Little White sneaked out from his sleeve and stood on his shoulder. Its little eyes were filled with confusion. Lu Li had woken it up when they were outside and it was sucked in before it could do anything.
"Swish~"
The lid gave out glaring lit. The energy became more oppressing and intimidating. Some electric arcs could be seen vaguely. The lid was like a dark cloud from which thunders were about to be discharged.
"Thunders?"
Lu Li finally knew what the power this Ding of Barbarian God had. When it sucked people in, it would discharge thunders and kill the ones inside…
How horrifying could the power of a Quasi Relic be?
The willow in the vase owned by Ji Mengtian could dance around and kill those alien races. The might of Quasi Relic was to be revered.
Lu Li didn't even have a Holy Grade armor. He could not survive the thunders relying only on his own physical strength. He was not that confident.
"Swish, swish~"
It was getting brighter as the electric arcs glared more violently. The energy became more threatening. Lu Li held his breath while he thought quickly to find a way out.
However, he could wrack his brain and he still wouldn't find a way. When a person was faced with the power of heaven and earth, the absolute might, no trick or strategy would work.
"Swish!"
The thunders were ready. A strike of black thunderbolt pierced through the air and came down to Lu Li's head. It was fast. The room was small. Lu Li couldn't dodge it even if he wanted to.
"Right—"
It was at that precise moment when Little White suddenly jumped up to Lu Li's head and took the hit of the thunder for him.
"Boom!"
Little White was struck. It fell from the air to Lu Li's shoulder. It bumped against him so hard that he staggered back. Little White rolled down from his shoulder to the ground, trembling.
"Little White!"
Lu Li opened his eyes wide in fright. He yelled and rushed to pick it up. Little White's snow-white fur were burnt and there was a scorched smell coming off from its skin. But its eyes were glowing.
"Squeak, squeak!"
Little White stopped trembling and raised its head in pride. It was trying to tell Lu Li in a wordless way that the thunders were nothing and they could not kill it.
"How…"
Even though Lu Li didn't feel how powerful the thunder was himself, he could sense it. If he was the one hit, he would at least be skinned if not dead. But Little White was fine other than some skin trauma?
Lu Li had thought that Little White was weak in defense. How could it have strong abilities to protect itself when it was only of the size of a palm? Lu Li was convinced that if he smashed at it, it would be turned into a puddle of goo.
Having been hit by such thunder, Little White was okay. This was odd, so odd that Lu Li could not believe it.
"Can it be…"
Lu Li remembered Little White had absorbed some divine energy. Did the divine energy refine Little White's body and make it particularly strong?
"I think so!"
This was the only explanation that could make any sense. Lu Li was a bit relieved. He looked at Little White with concern and said, "Little White, are you okay? I can take the thunder if not. They cannot kill me yet."
"Squeak, squeak!"
Little White shook its head and then turned to another streak of thunder that was about to come down from above. It was excited as if the thunder was the most delicious food for it.
"Swish~"
The thunder ran down from above their heads toward Lu Li. This time, Little White was more excited. It whooshed up to the thunder and then fell down again.
"Little White!"
Lu Li rushed over. This time, Little White hopped up from the ground without Lu Li's help. It had lost all its fur and its skin was burnt. That being said, it was not badly harmed.
Its little eyes were filled with excitement. Its darkened face showed joy. It didn't seem to have been struck by thunder but to have appreciated great food in the world…
"…"
Lu Li looked at it speechlessly. He never knew this little guy had the tendency to enjoy abuse. How could it be happy after being struck by thunderbolts?
Swish, swish, swish, swish…
More thunderbolts whooshed down and Little White ran to all of them. The more the thunders were, the more excited Little White was.
What was odder was that…
After seven or eight rounds, Little White's body remained black but its injuries didn't develop. Its eyes glowed and it was in high spirit.
"What kind of beast is this?"
Lu Li was not the only one shocked by Little White. Rui the Iron who was holding the Ding of Barbarian God was stunned as well. Since he was the master of Ding of Barbarian God, he could detect everything going on inside.
The Ding of Barbarian God had two major functions. To trap people and to kill all the living things inside with thunderbolts. Even a Human Sovereign Realm warrior would turn into dust in there, let alone Lu Li. Little did Rui of Iron expect that such a small beast could take the hit of all the thunderbolts.
"All of you, discharge thunders. I want the person and the beast dead!"
Rui of Iron refused to believe this. He put the Ding of Barbarian God on the ground and called over all the barbarians. He wanted all of them to discharge their thunderbolts to increase the power of the Ding of Barbarian God. He believed hundreds and even thousands of streaks of thunderbolts could blast Lu Li and Little White into dust.
