Chapter 427 -427-Lightning Is Actually on Our Side?
Rumble!
Dull thunder rolled continuously from the sky.
In an instant, the atmosphere inside the entire Instance space became exceptionally oppressive.
All the awakeners inside the Instance looked up at the sky at the same time, expressions of disbelief appearing on their faces.
With such a terrifying thunderstorm, something horrible was not about to happen, right?
Just as they were thinking this, the locust army in the distance began to grow extremely restless, frequently shaking their wings.
Not only that, they also released terrifying hissing sounds from their mouths, carrying an intense sense of threat.
Suddenly, a streak of silvery-white lightning tore through the dark clouds.
Then, without the slightest deviation, it struck precisely above the heads of the locust monsters!
In the blink of an eye, at the place where the lightning landed, more than a hundred locust monsters were instantly turned into charred corpses.
"My heavens, what exactly is going on?"
"Why is such terrifying lightning targeting those locust monsters instead of us?"
"Could it be that whoever summoned the lightning is actually on our side? Otherwise, none of this makes sense!"
"Impossible, right? As far as I know, none of the awakeners currently inside the Instance can control the weather!"
"Sisters, there’s no need for us to be so tangled up over this. With such a good opportunity, why don’t we kill all these damned locusts together..."
"Wait, look! Those locust monsters are actually starting to kill each other!"
...
On the battlefield in the distance, a large number of locust monsters had already begun attacking one another.
They seemed to have completely ignored the fact that the creatures nearby were their own companions. Instead, they chose to attack everything around them at all costs.
This terrifying scene left all the surrounding awakeners stunned.
They had never dreamed that one day, they would witness such a strange spectacle inside an Instance: monsters fighting and slaughtering each other.
This was simply unbelievable!
Just then, the locust monsters in the distance underwent another change.
Some of the monsters that had already been severely injured and were practically waiting for death suddenly began trembling uncontrollably.
A moment later, those dying locusts actually began gathering rapidly in the same direction.
Then, using their own bodies, they forcibly piled themselves into a small mountain!
When the awakeners present saw this small mountain made of locust bodies, they immediately felt their scalps go numb. A terrifying chill ran through them, as though every hair on their bodies was standing upright. Their sanity was plummeting like crazy!
Who could have imagined that so many locust bodies would actually pile into a small mountain, one that was still constantly moving and devouring the other locust monsters around it?
Large amounts of green blood gushed outward like fountains.
No one had expected such a horrifying thing to happen inside the Instance!
"Can someone tell me what the hell is going on? Have those locust monsters all gone insane? Why are they killing each other?"
"And that corpse-mountain monster made of bodies, whose side is it even on? Why isn’t it attacking us, but attacking its own kind instead?"
After only a few short breaths, the originally densely packed locust army was completely defeated in an instant.
All that remained was a mountain of corpses.
Other than that, there was nothing left.
At this moment, the boss located deep within the Instance also sensed the abnormal change inside the Instance.
However, its intelligence was not high enough. It could only sense that some terrifying threat seemed about to descend upon it.
Thus, it anxiously shook its enormous body, crawled out of its cave, and fled rapidly in a certain direction.
This boss was the strongest boss in the Instance.
It was also an earth drake.
This earth drake was not a true dragon in the strict sense.
In truth, only half of its bloodline came from ordinary dragons.
As for its mother, she had been a desert giant lizard.
The earth drake fled outward in panic.
Its cave was buried deep underground and should originally have been the safest place.
However, its biological instincts told it that if it did not flee now, it would likely face enormous danger.
Thus, the earth drake began desperately escaping upward.
Because of its enormous body, the entire ground began trembling slightly.
On the surface, the awakeners inside the Instance were utterly stunned by the scene before them.
Clearly, they had done absolutely nothing.
Yet all those locust monsters had been struck dead by lightning!
Even worse, those monsters had started killing one another, and by the time they were completely wiped out, none of the awakeners present had even managed to help.
So the legendary terrifying locust calamity had somehow been dealt with just like that?
Expressions of disbelief appeared on the faces of the awakeners present.
However, a moment later, those expressions were replaced by joy.
After all, even a fool could see that after the locust calamity died, a large number of unclaimed spoils had been left behind.
No one could refuse the joy of getting something for free!
However, just as they were preparing to move, another dull rumble of thunder suddenly came from the sky.
The next instant, an even thicker bolt of lightning began rolling through the dark clouds.
For a moment, the originally excited awakener teams instantly calmed down.
They swallowed with difficulty, then spoke.
"Do you think there’s a possibility that the lightning isn’t actually over yet? Maybe we should wait a little longer?"
"I feel like what you said makes sense. But are we sure we don’t need to find somewhere to hide for now? Why do I feel like the lightning above our heads hasn’t weakened at all? Instead, it seems to have become even stronger."
"Sister, your feeling is right. The lightning in the sky really hasn’t weakened. Its aura has actually grown even stronger. My detection skill can sense changes in energy!"
...
While these awakeners were constantly discussing among themselves, a brilliant bolt of lightning suddenly tore across the sky!
It was an unimaginably terrifying bolt of lightning.
The moment it appeared, it illuminated more than half the sky and instantly attracted everyone’s gaze.
For a moment, everyone looked toward the position of that enormous lightning bolt.
"Could it be that this still isn’t over?"
"Damn it! Why is that lightning striking directly toward our heads?"
"Is the lightning attacking indiscriminately?"
"Damn it, I don’t want to die! I still haven’t tasted what an innocent little boy is like...!"
