In the next 10 days, they ran into more Earth-level wild beasts. Every time, Bu Qianye would stop the Beast of the Void and send the two prefecture warriors to fight.
The following battles were not worth watching. The two warriors used the same method to kill the wild beasts. One would distract the wild beasts from the front and the other would launch a surprise attack from the side.
The wild beasts were not intelligent. The prefecture warrior who would distract the wild beasts from the front was fast and the surprise attack from the side was strong. The cooperation between the two was always successful. They could kill the wild beasts easily.
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye. The beast of the void arrived at a huge mountain range and stopped. Bu Qianye's voice resounded in the hall, "All of you, get out. This is the last chance for you to choose. If you want to explore the Divine World, you can leave later.
After you enter the Mountain of Vicissitudes, you must serve for a year. "
A door in the hall was opened slowly. They came out one by one. When Lu Li stepped out, he found himself in midair. A strange force enveloped him and made him fall down quickly.
He tried to steady himself and fight against that strange force. Even so, he was falling fast. Lu Li stabilized himself so that he would not fall on his face.
"Wow …"
Shouts of surprise came from all around. Lu Li suddenly looked back and saw something that shocked him to the core.
In the distance was a huge mountain. The peak of the mountain was so high that it reached the clouds.
That was not surprising. What was shocking was that outside the mountain, there were purple thunderbolts falling from the sky to the ground.
The thunderbolts did not vanish in a flash. They were there all the time. They were like huge chains of thunderbolts, connecting the sky and the earth and surrounding the mountain.
"This is the Chain of Thunderbolts!"
An immortal who knew the Divinity explained, "This must be built by a super warrior in the Divinity to protect the Mountain of Vicissitudes and to prevent outsiders from entering."
"Hmm, there must be some treasures in the Mountain of Vicissitudes. Otherwise, why would such a powerful formation be built?"
"The thunderbolts are horrifying. They must be hundreds or thousands of times stronger than the strongest thunderbolts in our world.
If we get hit, I'm afraid we'll be smashed to pieces, right? "
"Hehe, let alone you, even the mighty beings of the Immortal World wouldn't dare to barge in. This was built by the super experts of the Blue Flame Manor."
Many people were very excited and curious. After all, this was the place they would be staying in for a year. It was also the first place they would be staying in since they came to the Immortal World.
Lu Li had always been a man of few words and never talked to others. At the moment, he was standing there in a low profile.
He also wore a black cloak to cover his white hair and most of his face. After all, white hair was too conspicuous.
"Whoosh ~"
The void beast in the sky opened its mouth, and Bu Qianye flew down with the nine blue-armored prefecture guards. He arrived in front of the crowd and glanced at them coldly. "Since no one wants to leave, then follow me in."
He silently led the team towards the mountain range in the distance, and the others quickly followed. The closer they got to the mountain range, the more oppressive they felt, and many people's breathing quickened.
"Hiss ~"
Lu Li was getting closer and closer to the purple thunderbolts as well. He felt his hair was standing on end.
He sensed a fatal danger in his soul, telling him to stay away from those thunderbolts.
When they were about 300 feet away from the thunderbolts, some of them felt weak in their legs. There would be one thunderbolt every 30 feet. Theoretically speaking, they should be able to walk through the gaps between the thunderbolts.
However, none of them dared to do so. They all knew that they would die if they did so.
"Wheel of Devastation!"
Bu Qianye stopped at this moment. He took out a wheel and threw it into the sky. The wheel grew in size and turned into a huge wheel with a radius of two miles.
"Go ~"
The roulette flew towards the lightning and blocked dozens of lightning bolts in front of it. Dozens of purple lightning bolts struck the roulette and were silently absorbed by the roulette.
"Let's go!"
Bu Qianye waved his hand and took the lead. The others held their breaths and followed him. Seeing that Bu Qianye had gone through the Chains of Thunder, the others hurried to catch up.
Lu Li was in the middle of the team. After he went through the Chains of Thunder, he saw a glare. The view in front of him changed completely. He was in a huge valley.
"There must be a Teleportation Formation in the Chains of Thunder. Otherwise, I cannot have arrived here so quickly."
Lu Li thought to himself. He looked around and realized that the valley should be in the middle of the mountains.
The Chains of Thunder were hanging down from the sky. They were at least three thousand miles away. If they were not teleported here, how could they have arrived here in one step?
The valley was large. Surrounding it were mountains that reached the clouds. Around the valley were caves that must have been dug out by humans.
There were also some castles in the valley. Teams of blue-armored warriors were walking around. There were also immortals walking in and out of the castles.
The arrival of Lu Li and the others did not attract much attention. Usually, people just threw them a glance and then ignored them.
"Whoosh ~"
From the distance came a team of blue-armored warriors. The one at the front was strong and dignified. He was wearing a blue armor but there was a mark of a sharp blade on his chest.
Bu Qianye and the others put on solemn expressions. When the team arrived, Bu Qianye and the other nine bowed and said, "Greetings, Commander Ye. We have been ordered to pick up the newcomers and serve here."
"Good. Thank you, Guide Bu." Commander Ye nodded. He waved his hand and said, "Go and have some rest."
A blue-armored warrior led Bu Qianye and the others to a castle. Commander Ye glared at Lu Li and the others coldly and said, "I am Ye Guangyao and I am the commander here. You must keep everything I say in mind. Don't blame me if you die."
Everyone listened carefully. They had to be humble when they were under the eaves. If they offended prefecture warriors, their deaths would be in vain.
Pointing to the cave in the distance, Commander Ye said, "Before you are allowed to leave the Mountain of Vicissitudes, you can only walk in the Valley of Vicissitudes and in the mines. If you dare to trespass into other areas, you will be killed!
Secondly, you are not allowed to use force in the Valley of Vicissitudes. You must report everything. Those who use force without permission, you will be killed!
Thirdly, you must hand in all the Spring Gold you find. Those who hide it will be killed.
Fourthly, you must hand in 10 pieces of Spring Gold every month. If you cannot complete the task, your service time will be extended by one year. Those who do not agree, you will be killed! "
Commander Ye uttered the word "killed" four times in a row. Everyone's heart skipped a beat. The last point made many people's faces clouded.
Every month, they had to hand in 10 pieces of Spring Gold. If they could not, their service time would be extended by one year?
If they could not hand in the Spring Gold, wouldn't they have to serve here for the rest of their lives?
"So, Spring Gold is not easy to find."
Lu Li looked at the warriors in the distance who were in a hurry, listless, and even numb.
There was no spirit in their eyes, and there was no spirit in them. They must have served here for many years. It was possible that they could not complete the task.
"Could this year of service be a trap?"
