Chapter 162: Chapter 158: Thunder Resistance

Since the words have been said to this extent, Wang Wu didn’t hold back anymore. Because, in a sense, the few individuals before him were indeed the purest Ancient Blood Demon Race, the top-grade demons of the West Desolate Demon Race. They would never betray their class, nor would they become spirit beasts or warming bed demons for Human Race cultivators.

That would be an insult to their bloodline.

Therefore, they were indeed great partners and teammates.

At that moment, he asked Yuan Bupu,

“You mentioned you brought a Golden Light Thunder Talisman earlier, what does that mean?”

“Simply put, it’s used to enhance our resistance to this kind of attack, similar in nature to what you’ve done for Niu Huanxi and the others.”

“However, I still need to confirm, have you made your decision?”

Yuan Bupu asked solemnly.

Wang Wu nodded, “That’s right, I’ve made my decision; I don’t want to miss this opportunity, and I’m very willing to join you on this journey.”

Hearing this, Yuan Bupu smiled, while Wolf Bu’er continued to watch the surroundings coldly, making him an excellent sentry.

As for Niu Xiaocao, Old Niu, and Little Wild Boar, they obviously sighed in relief; they were really worried that Wang Wu wouldn’t agree.

That would have been troublesome.

Because, truth be told, only Old Niu is qualified to join this team, Niu Xiaocao is barely passable, and Little Wild Boar is more of a financial burden.

But due to Wang Wu’s connection, Yuan Bupu agreed to bring them along.

“Great! Welcome aboard, but now is not the time to set out; the best timing would be winter, only when heavy snow seals the mountains and cold envelops, can we traverse some almost certain-death situations to reach the Black Forest’s edge.”

“Before that, we need to get to know each other better and strengthen our drills; I believe you all understand what I mean.”

At this point, Yuan Bupu suddenly produced a Golden Light Thunder Talisman, crackling with electricity and power, in his hand.

“Little pig, are you sure you can handle it?”

Wolf Bu’er suddenly interjected.

“I can handle it, I guarantee.”

Old Niu stepped forward to protect Little Wild Boar, speaking with a serious tone and showing no signs of backing down.

Niu Xiaocao held his head in his hands on the side, helplessly; earlier, Yuan Bupu and the others even considered slaughtering Little Wild Boar. Having two laggards was already frustrating, and now adding a massive burden.

Wolf Bu’er cast a cold glance at Old Niu and remained silent, retracting his claws to create nine beautiful, intricate thumb-sized snowflakes that fell from mid-air.

Even Wang Wu was taken aback; as the saying goes, one knows the strength by the expert’s first move.

These nine exquisite little snowflakes from Wolf Bu’er contained at least 3600 points of Ice Spiritual Qi, how impressive!

Instantly, all the demons present were shrouded in a layer of ice, deeply frozen!

Almost simultaneously, the Golden Light Thunder Talisman in Yuan Bupu’s hand was quickly activated, with a snapping sound, hundreds of lightning rays erupted, transforming into a golden net that evenly and densely covered each demon’s body. Ice + lightning, this group really thought it through.

At this moment, even Wang Wu couldn’t help but tremble violently, foaming at the mouth as if in a seizure, being hard-controlled for a full five seconds!

This was at least twice as strong as that Golden Light Thunder Talisman from some senior brother that day!

In this five-second state of frantic trembling, all of Wang Wu’s talents and secret techniques were nullified, with only his Ice and Fire Dual Spirit Roots maintaining that subtle balance unaffected.

After five seconds, Wang Wu’s whole body emitted black smoke with the smell of burnt char.

At the same time, a line of information quickly flashed by.

“You were hit by an enhanced Golden Light Thunder Talisman, controlled by lightning for five seconds, and received 150 points of lightning damage.”

Luckily, it’s not a big problem.

Wang Wu finally had the chance to look at the other demons.

Surprisingly, the most composed was Xiong Shiliu, still round and chubby, looking around with clear eyes, unaffected by the lightning.

Next was Yuan Bupu, controlled for at most one second, followed by Wolf Bu’er controlled for three seconds.

Ranked fourth was Niu Xiaocao, controlled for four seconds.

Wang Wu was fifth, slightly stronger than Old Niu.

The worst was Little Wild Boar, still trembling at this moment, with excrement and urine flying, foaming at the mouth, exuding the scent of roasted pig.

Although not dead, it was seriously injured.

Fortunately, Old Niu dragged Little Wild Boar away, using a few piles of cow dung to likely recover quickly.

“Niu Huanxi’s Spirit Vine healing method is worth cultivating.”

Yuan Bupu smiled slightly, with much appreciation.

Healing and logistics are also indispensable in the team.

“Shall we continue?”

Yuan Bupu looked at Wang Wu, seeming to test his potential.

“Alright!”

Wang Wu had no objections; this Golden Light Thunder Talisman was a rare opportunity.

Wolf Bu’er continued to release Deep Freeze, enhancing the Thunder Talisman’s power.

This time, without the Little Wild Boar, the six demons in the team were still the same as before, shivering under the dense barrage of lightning.

But even Wang Wu couldn’t gain even a tiny bit of lightning resistance.

This negative resistance is really hard to acquire.

Soon, after a short rest, Yuan Bupu once again unleashed a Golden Light Thunder Talisman.

But this time, Wang Wu successfully gained a bit of thunder resistance.

Only when the message appeared, he almost doubted his own eyes.

“You gained a bit of thunder resistance. You can therefore slightly negate thunder damage and the effects of lightning paralysis, currently at 1/10000!”

——

Damn! The upper limit of thunder resistance is actually 10,000 points!

At this moment, Wang Wu suddenly remembered a famous saying—Nine Heavens Profound Slaughter, transforming into divine thunder! The magnificent might of the heavens, drawn by a sword!

Compared to this, the Five Poison Spiritual Qi is really weak as hell!

The Cultivation Realm is too deep; I want to go home!

Wang Wu finally understood why Yuan Bupu and the others were willing to waste such precious talismans just to farm some negative resistance, because the power of divine thunder is truly immeasurable!

If I could get the 220-volt household electricity from back on Earth, that would be great; not very powerful but enough to train resistance. Did I take the wrong path? Should I be pioneering an industrial revolution in the Cultivation Realm?

Of course, this thought flashed by and couldn’t be taken seriously.

At this moment, Yuan Bupu suddenly looked at Wang Wu, “Xiong Wu, it’s time to try your Companion Demon Vine, don’t hold back, give us some more dose, as much as you can.”

As if I didn’t want to increase the dosage?

The maximum limit is only 100!

Wang Wu complained in his heart, lifted his bear claw, activated the Companion Demon Vine, and it shot out instantly, wrapping around Yuan Bupu’s neck.

And Yuan Bupu really didn’t move, even cooperating by stretching out his neck, making it easier for the vine to pierce.

But embarrassingly for Wang Wu, even then, the barbs on the Companion Demon Vine couldn’t pierce his skin, finally it was Wolf Bu’er who couldn’t stand it anymore, went up with a paw, a flash of golden light, and only then made a millimeter-long cut on Yuan Bupu.

The paralyzing poison from the vine was finally injected.

Then, Yuan Bupu smacked his lips, blinked, looking like he was wondering why the poison hadn’t taken effect yet.

After waiting for nearly ten seconds, he finally yelped, stumbled slightly, but then quickly returned to normal.

“Not bad, not bad, quite flavorful indeed, it’s actually Demon King level paralyzing poison, and so pure too, impressive, impressive. If you could significantly cultivate this Companion Demon Vine, it would have limitless potential, no, why is it only growing to the claw, it should at least grow to your shoulder, you’re wasting it!”

Listening to Yuan Bupu ramble on, Wang Wu was left feeling numb.

Truly, there are always taller mountains. Yuan Bupu’s basic defense must be at least 100 points, because the golden light that flashed on Wolf Bu’er’s claw is clearly from cultivating Lifebound Demon Soldiers, and it’s even stronger than the one I refined.

And this guy’s toxin resistance isn’t too shabby either.

Impressive, impressive!

“No need to test Xiong Shiliu, if I’m fine then it definitely is too, Bu’er, come on, you probably really need this Demon King level paralyzing poison.”

Hearing this, Wang Wu promptly released his Companion Demon Vine on Wolf Bu’er, this time, the vine’s barbs successfully broke through the defense, from this point it’s clear, Wolf Bu’er’s basic defense is at most 60 points, so is this a combination of a magical type fragile hunter?

And Wolf Bu’er didn’t withstand the paralyzing poison, managing only 10 seconds before falling directly to the ground, foaming at the mouth, limbs twitching, the whole works.

However, overall, it’s still far stronger than Niu Xiaocao.

In fact, within a few minutes, Wolf Bu’er regained his senses, seems he already had decent resistance.

Wang Wu then gave both Old Niu and Niu Xiaocao a go, directly knocking them down.

“Xiong Wu, your Companion Demon Vine is remarkable, now let me show you my Companion Spiritual Object.”

As Yuan Bupu spoke, he used his thick fingers to dig around in his ear and actually pulled out a peculiar snail.

Truly amazing, but isn’t it odd that a snail became a Companion Spiritual Object?

“Haha, didn’t expect that, did you!”

Yuan Bupu laughed heartily, then stuffed the snail back in, “The feature of my Companion Spiritual Object is it can eavesdrop on any secrets within a hundred miles, unless you’re using gestures, anything you speak enters my ear, it’s specifically for learning and traveling in the Human Race Territory in the future.”

“I show you this Companion Spiritual Object today to tell you in advance, to avoid harming our mutual good spirit.”

Wang Wu nodded and immediately said, “Brother Yuan, you have the courage to accomplish great things, I deeply admire you!”

“Haha! Xiong Wu, with nothing else to do, why not spar a little?” Yuan Bupu blinked his eyes again as he asked, he’s really just looking for a way to measure Wang Wu’s strength.

Speaking politely, but actually quite proud.

Wang Wu thought for a moment, then decisively refused.

“Sorry, Brother Yuan, I’m actually quite lacking in combat methods, my Companion Demon Vine is already my strongest attack, to spar with Brother Yuan would be asking to suffer, so let’s not.”

“Heh heh, no problem, no problem, Xiong Wu, it’s rare for you not to have too strong a desire to fight, not bad, not bad. On our westward journey, enduring hardships and maintaining patience is the most important. Ah, the more I see you, the more I like you!”

Yuan Bupu, rejected by Wang Wu, was not displeased, in fact he was quite delighted.

This time, it finally made Wang Wu put away his disdain. Yuan Bupu truly has the air of a hero!
