Whoosh!
The black rain of the night intensified, the curtain of rain thickened, and the chilly atmosphere made people even more uncomfortable.
But the campsite for sheltering from the rain was still bustling with activity.
Numerous treasure-hunting teams gathered here, and in their boredom, they couldn't help but chat and joke. Although they all knew that this camp had a " Restriction Flag " that would attract many Rain Spawn on rainy nights, the sheer number of people in the camp actually brought them a strong sense of security.
Among the treasure-hunting team were some clever individuals who vaguely sensed Thunderfire Hall's purpose, but they couldn't find any fault with it, since Thunderfire Hall hadn't forced them to stay at the camp; they could leave whenever they wanted.
But... they've already handed over the Rain Pearl, how could they possibly leave?!
On the contrary, they will not only stay, but will also prevent anyone from interfering with or harming Lu Ming.
This desire to "protect" a stranger is intense and pure!
For a moment, these treasure hunters, who were usually ruthless, cautious and daring, were all somewhat moved by their own sentiments.
As they were engrossed in their moment, Lu Jin, who had been sitting cross-legged in front of the stone house, suddenly stood up. His weathered and profound eyes sharpened, piercing through the rain as he gazed out of the camp.
Without Lu Ming's attacks and surveillance, Lu Jin could only rely on his Primordial Qi perception to detect the creature. However, this greatly reduced his detection range, which is why he only noticed the Rain Spawn's figure when the rain curtain rippled slightly dozens of feet outside the camp.
" The Rain Spawn has arrived."
He spoke softly, reminding everyone in the camp.
These treasure hunters were extremely sensitive to the " Rain Spawn," as they were the biggest threat they faced while navigating the Black Rain Zone. Immediately, their bodies tensed up, and they looked out of the camp with serious expressions.
Soon, their expressions changed slightly as they saw one after another of the Rain Spawn emerging from the rain, completely blocking the front of the rain shelter camp.
"Hiss, so Rain Spawn? There must be fifty of them here! And most of them are Four-Armed Rain Spawn!"
Upon encountering such a large number of Rain Spawn, the treasure-hunting teams present were immediately terrified, their eyes filled with fear. If their respective teams were to encounter Rain Spawn of this size in the rainy night, they would likely be completely wiped out, with no one able to escape.
However, this fear only lasted for a few breaths before they suddenly came to their senses.
Wait a minute, there's more than just their own squad here now.
The numerous treasure-hunting teams looked around and saw nothing but a sea of black heads; the number was probably close to a hundred.
There are even more than these Rain Spawn.
What's there to be afraid of!
Instantly, everyone's morale soared. One hundred against fifty, the advantage was on our side. These Rain Spawn were just there to deliver Rain Pearl!
Clang!
In an instant, the sound of Divine Ability Weapon being drawn one after another rang out in the rain, and streams of Primordial Qi rose up.
"Friends, let's break out together and deal with these Rain Spawn. We mustn't let them disturb Master Lu Ming from refining the ' Healing Rain Pearl ' for us!"
"Haha, since all the Rain Pearl have already been handed in, let's make another quick buck!"
"Kill them!"
"..."
Amidst a cacophony of noise, nearly a hundred figures suddenly surged out of the camp like a tidal wave, the sounds of fighting even drowning out the sound of the pouring rain.
When the numerous Rain Spawn that appeared outside the camp saw the sudden surge of people, a look of astonishment seemed to appear in their lifeless eyes.
This isn't right!
What, there are more of them?
Who is besieging whom?
The Four-Armed Rain Spawn had developed some intelligence and knew the basics of seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune. Therefore, they knew that they had no advantage in terms of numbers, so for a moment they showed signs of retreating.
But just then, a faint, low whistling sound came from the depths of the rain behind them.
Under this howling sound, these Four-Armed Rain Spawn seemed to receive an irresistible command. The hesitation in their dead fish eyes vanished instantly, and the next moment, they shot out like wild beasts.
They clashed head-on with the numerous treasure-hunting teams that surged forward like a tidal wave, engaging in fierce combat.
A fierce battle erupted in front of the rain shelter camp amidst the torrential rain.
Lu Qingyan, Lu Jinglei, and Lü Feng, witnessing this touching scene of fighting to protect what was being fought for, couldn't help but feel deeply moved. They were all good people.
Lu Jin, meanwhile, gazed intently into the depths of the rain curtain. When the faint, low hissing sound came from earlier, he had sensed the two Six-Armed Rain Spawn hidden behind it.
They did not leave, but lingered outside the camp.
However, tonight's events were clearly beyond their expectations. They had originally hoped to attract more Rain Spawn to deplete the camp's strength, and ideally weaken Lu Jin, who was threatening them, so that they could make their move directly.
But to their horror and anger, the camp was behaving very strangely tonight, with so many unrelated people appearing!
Based on their previous observations, they knew that these people would flee this place on rainy nights.
The two Six-Armed Rain Spawn were somewhat puzzled and angry; the appearance of these people had clearly disrupted their plans.
Judging from the current situation, the swarms of Rain Spawn they attracted are clearly no match for their opponents, so their plan to wear them down tonight has failed.
If they were to force their way out at this moment, they would only find themselves surrounded and attacked by the enemy's large group. Coupled with the elderly human who made them sense the threat, their chances of survival would be slim.
Therefore, as the horde of Rain Spawn was gradually wiped out, these two Six-Armed Rain Spawn did not show up to make a move.
Inside the stone hut in the camp, Lu Ming, who had already taken a nap, yawned. Beside him were hundreds of " Healing Rain Pearl." In fact, he could refine the Rain Pearl very quickly, but he obviously couldn't let the treasure-hunting teams outside know this, otherwise how could he trick them into staying overnight at the camp?
So after refining this batch of Rain Pearl, Lu Ming could only hide in the stone house, bored, sleeping and cultivating.
Hearing the commotion outside, he got up and went to the door, looking like he was observing.
"Grandpa, will those two Six-Armed Rain Spawn make a move?" Lu Ming asked, gazing into the depths of the rain.
"Probably not. These kinds of Rain Spawn are already as intelligent as ordinary humans. They know that going forward at this time would be suicide, so they probably won't show themselves."
A smile couldn't help but appear on Lu Jin's aged face, "The show you put on has scared them."
Lu Ming also smiled, secretly relieved. This rainy night, which was supposed to be extremely difficult, had passed smoothly without any injuries. It could be said that this was the easiest rainy night since they entered the Black Rain Zone.
"This ' Restriction Flag ' mission should proceed without any major issues," Lu Jin said.
With Lu Ming's idea, the camp will only become more and more lively in the coming period of time, and more and more treasure hunting teams will gather here. No matter how unwilling these two Six-Armed Rain Spawn, they probably won't dare to show their faces easily.
"There's also a rat hiding in the shadows," Lu Ming said.
The rat he was referring to was, of course, the "incense burner."
This person attracted these two " Six-Armed Rain Spawn," nearly causing a major problem for the camp.
According to Lu Ming's guess, the "incense burner" must also be hiding somewhere around the camp, preparing to reap the benefits. However, Lu Ming believed that when that rat found out about the changes that had occurred in the camp, his expression would be quite interesting.
Lu Ming's Golden Pupil swept across the rain-soaked sky, his gaze sharp and ruthless.
This rat, don't give yourself away, or you'll pay the price.
