Time Travel: The Survival of Li Zhi

Chapter 149 It’s raining

"Gululu——"

Huangshi picked up the bowl of water and drank it in big gulps. The water rushed down his throat rapidly, making bursts of noise.

Li Zhi was watching from the side and found it funny. He couldn't help but ask, "What happened?"

Although Huangshi entered Huaishan alone to explore, Li Zhi had always sent mosquito monsters to follow him, and he knew everything Huangshi encountered along the way.

Just by looking at Huangshi's slightly anxious look, Li Zhi knew that it might not be that simple. There must be something he overlooked, or something he failed to sense on the mosquito demon.

Huang Shi drank three bowls of water in a row before putting the bowl down in satisfaction. He took a deep breath and calmed his breathing.

Then he turned to look at Li Zhi, with a hint of nervousness and solemnity in his eyes, and said, "There is something fishy there! As soon as I approached that place, I could clearly feel a cold gaze locking onto me. It felt like being stared at by a poisonous snake hiding in the dark. Just thinking about it makes me shudder."

After hearing this, Li Zhi did not show much surprise on his face. He was not surprised by this. Given the Stone God's caution, it was natural that he would not have set up a secret sentry at his door.

This is also the reason why Li Zhi asked Huangshi to go to Huaishan alone. Because Huangshi is a mortal, if a mortal approaches there inadvertently, even if the Stone God is on guard, he will not take it too seriously.

But if a cultivator like Li Zhi approached, I'm afraid that the stone god would either attack him directly or escape and hide.

"Then we just have to wait for the other party to make a move." Li Zhi said calmly.

Huang Shi also nodded and said, "That's right, we have already made our move. Whether it is a fake move or a real move, it is now the other party's turn to make the move."

Li Zhi glanced at Huang Shi, then took out a pill from his arms and said, "This pill has the effect of healing and relieving pain. If you encounter danger, hold it in your mouth and swallow it in a critical moment to relieve the pain of the injury."

Huang Shi didn't bother to be polite with Li Zhi and directly put the pill away. Although he knew that Li Zhi meant well, he still said, "Why do I feel like you are cursing me?"

A teasing smile appeared on his face, trying to ease the tense atmosphere.

Li Zhi knew Huang Shi was joking, but he still shook his head and explained to him: "If the Stone God is really the mastermind behind the flood five years ago, then he must be very cunning and ruthless. You'd better be careful."

When Huang Shi heard Li Zhi talking about what happened five years ago, his face darkened and the painful memories of that time came to his mind involuntarily.

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he asked Li Zhi, "Do you think the plan that the clay man mentioned... will it be the same as the flood five years ago..."

His voice trembled slightly, revealing his inner uneasiness.

Li Zhi was stunned. He turned to look at Huang Shi, only to see that both of them had extremely ugly expressions.

They all seemed to see an impending disaster.

Li Zhi knew that this was very likely, otherwise, why would the Stone God use demonic energy to feed so many fish? Wasn't it just to let them do something in the river later?

"bump!"

Huang Shi slammed his fist on the table, his face grim.

His heart was filled with anger and unwillingness, and he would never allow the tragedy of five years ago to happen again.

Li Zhi patted Huang Shi on the shoulder and said in a steady tone: "Don't worry, now that we know, we can definitely stop him!"

Huang Shi looked at Li Zhi, only to see that Li Zhi's eyes were firm and resolute.

 …

As the sun sets, the clouds in the sky are dyed a brilliant orange-red by the afterglow of the setting sun.

Suddenly, dark clouds gradually gathered in the sky, and the orange-red sunset was replaced by cold dark clouds.

The layers of dark clouds seemed to cover the entire world. The earth suddenly fell into darkness and the atmosphere became somewhat depressing.

Then, a flash of lightning cut through the night sky like a sharp sword, instantly illuminating the entire world.

What followed was the rumbling thunder, and the deafening sound echoed between heaven and earth.

The next second, raindrops as big as beans fell with a crackling sound, splashing water on the ground.

A sudden heavy rain broke the tranquility of the coming night.

The originally quiet night was filled with the sound of violent rain, as if a symphony of nature was being played.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, so heavy that it was difficult to see the scene ahead. The rain curtain was like a thick wall, completely blocking the view ahead.

"Click...click..."

The dull and powerful footsteps sounded with difficulty in the rain, but like a small stone thrown into the sea, they were swallowed up by the heavy rain as soon as they appeared.

The rain poured down like a waterfall, and the world was covered by a thick curtain of water.

The mosquito demon that Li Zhi originally sent out was also blocked from view by the heavy rain.

The dense raindrops blurred everything, making it impossible for the mosquito demon to see the figure coming out of Huaishan and walking towards Huangshi's house.

At this time, in Huangshi's home, Li Zhi and Huangshi stood side by side under the eaves, watching the heavy rain.

The raindrops danced wildly in the wind, splashing on the ground, making crackling sounds.

“It’s raining so hard!”

The heavy rain before his eyes, which seemed to be drowning the world, made Li Zhi couldn't help but sigh.

Huang Shi looked at the heavy rain with a worried look on his face, and the uneasiness in his heart seemed to spread like ripples. He said in a restless mood: "I always feel a little uneasy. Is there any problem with this rain?"

Li Zhi was silent for a moment after hearing this, and looked at the rain curtain with deep eyes, and then he slowly said: "It is not so easy to summon such a large-scale rain, and it should not be done intentionally by someone."

Huang Shi thought about it, but still felt a little worried. He said, "I'll go to the Qu River to take a look. If I don't take a look, I won't be able to settle down."

Hearing Huang Shi say this, Li Zhi did not refuse and said directly: "Then I will go with you."

This heavy rain really came at a strange time. It would be good to go and take a look. It would not only make Huangshi, but also Li Zhi himself feel more at ease.

And if it was really caused by human beings, Li Zhi could also respond as soon as possible.

Huang Shi showed joy when he got Li Zhi's approval, and ran back home in a hurry to look for his straw hat and raincoat.

After a while, he came out with two sets of hats and raincoats. He handed one to Li Zhi and quickly put on the other.

Li Zhi had never worn this kind of raincoat before, so he could only watch Huang Shi put it on and follow his movements to learn how to put it on.

Finally, after they were dressed.

They looked at each other, Li Zhi nodded to Huang Shi, and then the two of them walked into the heavy rain together.

The raindrops as big as beans poured down, and even though they were wearing straw raincoats and hats, their clothes and hair were still wet.

Huangshi opened his eyes with great effort, but he still couldn't see the road ahead clearly. Even though this was where he had lived since he was a child, at this moment he could only follow Li Zhi closely.

Li Zhi squinted his eyes and tried his best to look at the road ahead. Although his liver wood was now in a deep sleep, his eyes were still much sharper than ordinary people due to the nourishment of the liver wood.

However, facing such bad weather, his vision was greatly limited.

Suddenly, Li Zhi stopped abruptly, as if he sensed some dangerous aura.

Huang Shi, who was following behind Li Zhi, was puzzled. Just as he was about to ask, he heard Li Zhi say, "Something is coming!"

As soon as Li Zhi finished speaking, a figure broke into Li Zhi's sight!
