However, Old Tie shook his head and said, "I estimate that guy only knows the general idea, so I won't get involved."
"Uh, isn't this your Feng Mei?"
Old Tie rolled his eyes.
"Don't you think about it? I'm not the only one who knows about this. If all those old guys go, how dangerous would that be? The Master of the Black Net must have sensed this undercurrent, which is why he couldn't help but make a move now. At a time like this, do you think the General Bureau could afford it if something happened to me?"
The white-haired man chuckled, "I'm surprised, how come I don't know about it?"
Old Tie's expression froze.
"Cough, if there's nothing else, I'll be going back? The loose organization is still more suitable for me. I feel uncomfortable staying here for too long."
As soon as he finished speaking, without giving the white-haired man a chance to react, his figure vanished from the spot with a swoosh.
The white-haired man, with a stern face, cursed, "How many more things haven't you told me! Did I just sit here for nothing?"
After sulking for a while, the white-haired man finally calmed his emotions.
The first thing he did after calming down was:
"Someone! Double the alert level within a kilometer!"
Lightning Magnetic Island.
The problem that Zhong Hanzi was worried about was realized by Li Chonglou and the others within half an hour.
Several terrifying heavenly lightning strikes descended suddenly. If it weren't for some large trees nearby to attract them, they might have lost members before they even saw anyone.
"Something's wrong! Why isn't it striking elsewhere, but only coming towards us?"
Wu Di was very decisive and immediately had the ten people split into five small teams.
Five people per team.
As expected, as soon as they spread out, the heavenly lightning gathered above them also dispersed.
"Can't act together?"
Wu Di and the other two's brows furrowed tightly.
"Why don't we split up, but don't get too far apart. If we find something, we can shout."
The crowd tried it. As long as they were separated by three hundred meters, the heavenly lightning above would no longer gather, and this distance was not far for them.
Moreover, Zhong Hanzi had specifically instructed everyone on the appearance of the Lei Ku tree. Acting separately was also a better option in a way.
Li Chonglou was naturally with Chen Pingfan.
Without Wu Di and the others, both of them felt particularly relaxed.
"Brother Li, hit me with a punch to try?"
"Stop messing around, be serious. I have a feeling something might happen here, so let's get the thing and leave as soon as possible."
Li Chonglou's brows were tightly furrowed.
Since coming up, he had discovered that his Heavenly Eye Perspective divine ability had actually failed!
According to past experience, any situation where the Heavenly Eye Perspective divine ability fails is not a good sign!
Fortunately, as Zhong Hanzi had said, on Lightning Magnetic Island, besides being wary of other islanders, there were only the island residents. However, they were all ordinary islanders without any realm power or secret techniques. For them, as long as they were careful, it wouldn't be a big problem.
Furthermore, the Lei Ku tree was not a rare item on Lightning Magnetic Island and was not difficult to find.
Chen Pingfan, seeing Li Chonglou's solemn expression, also put away his joking manner.
"Then let's start too."
"Yes."
Just as they finished speaking, the group, who were still within sight, suddenly felt a strong wind blowing, followed by a sudden appearance of black sandstorm.
"Careful!"
Wu Di shouted loudly and was then engulfed by the black sandstorm that rushed forward, almost faster than the gust of wind.
Li Chonglou's expression suddenly changed. He instinctively used his internal energy to protect himself, but only then did he remember that in this place, internal energy was not in a normal state at all!
There was no time to react, and he too was swallowed by the black sand.
However, although he couldn't use his internal energy, it was still possible to control his muscles and hold his breath. Even so, an unspeakable sense of oppression instantly appeared.
Then came the disappearance of all five senses, with only one feeling throughout his body.
Numbness!
His eyes couldn't open, he lost his sight, and all he could hear was the roaring wind. Even Chen Pingfan, who was less than a meter away, could not sense his presence at all!
This feeling for a cultivator was like a normal person being thrown into an endless desert, with no sense of security!
Li Chonglou reached out to grab Chen Pingfan, but found himself unable to locate him at all, as if the two had suddenly gone to different spaces.
"Is something going to happen?"
A bad feeling suddenly arose in Li Chonglou's heart. However, the next moment, a sharp pain came from his waist, and before he could even react, his eyes rolled back and he lost consciousness.
After an unknown amount of time, when Li Chonglou regained consciousness, his first reaction was to try to use his secret technique.
However, he found that he couldn't move.
Upon closer inspection, he realized that he was bound by his limbs like prey and hung upside down on a piece of wood.
This...
Li Chonglou looked around again and found that it wasn't just him who was bound, but also Chen Pingfan and Wu Di and the others.
All ten of them were hung here!
"Uh..."
Li Chonglou was instantly speechless.
Just then, a strange voice suddenly came from above.
"Oh, you can wake up so soon?"
Li Chonglou looked up and saw a dark-skinned man wearing only a piece of black animal skin standing there.
He was also holding a long fork.
The three prongs of the fork were glowing black, indicating it was no good thing!
However, what surprised Li Chonglou was that this person, who might be an islander, spoke a language similar to Chinese!
At least he could understand it!
"Friend! Can you let me go? We have no ill intentions, we just want to find the medicine to save someone and leave."
The animal-skin clad man's expression changed, and then he actually showed anger.
"You poachers! Not a word you say is true! If it weren't for the village chief's rule, I would kill you right now!"
Li Chonglou's expression was stunned.
Damn it, which of my words got him so riled up?
However, the animal-skin clad man's words also eased Li Chonglou's worried heart a lot.
According to what he said, they should not be in any mortal danger.
At this moment, another man wearing animal skins appeared in Li Chonglou's line of sight.
The newcomer was quite surprised to see Li Chonglou.
"How did he wake up? Whose prey is this?"
The first animal-skin clad man replied, "It's Amin's."
"Quickly call him over!"
A moment later, a third animal-skin clad man appeared. Upon seeing Li Chonglou's bright and spirited eyes, his expression was also stunned.
"No, I only gave him the amount for one day. I even helped Ayu spear one, so why hasn't he woken up?"
The faces of the three men became confused.
Li Chonglou spoke, "Um, could you please untie me first? I really didn't intend to do anything. I just want to find the root of the Lei Ku tree to save someone. Isn't saving a life equivalent to building a seven-story pagoda?"
