Heroes' Prison-Chapter 1350 - 1284: Five-Colored Divine Thunder

Checkpoint three, within the pavilion amidst the Thunder Sea’s dark clouds.

Yun looked at the endless thunder and lightning outside the pavilion and said, "For this checkpoint, let’s have the Pope act as the boss! The Pope excels in thunder and lightning abilities and can exert his greatest power in this Thunder Sea."

After speaking, he set the Pope as the new boss for this checkpoint.

In an instant, a figure identical to the Pope appeared within the pavilion. In his hand was a bright bolt of lightning, subtly resonating with the endless lightning outside the pavilion, as if he were a master of thunder and lightning.

"Let’s go! Onward to the fourth checkpoint! Pope, you lead the way!" Yun turned to look at the Pope.

The Pope nodded, immediately left the pavilion, and began climbing toward the mountain peak. His lightning-like Thunderbolt Staff hovered in the air, absorbing the falling lightning for the group.

After proceeding for a while, the Pope suddenly halted, turning his gaze fixedly in one direction.

"What’s wrong?" Abigail asked.

"Over there, it seems like there’s the aura of the Five-Colored Divine Thunder!" The Pope looked in that direction, somewhat uncertain.

"Boom~" Suddenly, a thunderbolt exploded in that direction, the bright white light instantly illuminating that patch of dark cloud.

With the aid of this expansive white light, everyone vaguely glimpsed a flash of bright color in the distance.

That splash of color was so distinctive and vibrant amidst the gray-black clouds, the only hint of vitality in this dreary world!

But it was only a moment; the white light of the thunderbolt dimmed, and that stunning color disappeared into the distant dark clouds again.

"Five-Colored Divine Thunder!" the Pope exclaimed in shock, excitedly, "I’ve searched countless places and never found it, yet here it is!"

As he spoke, he swiftly scanned the group and hurriedly said, "I’ll quickly escort you out of the clouds, then return to search for that Five-Colored Divine Thunder. Once obtained, my Thunderbolt Staff can advance to a Finished Divine Artifact! Let’s go quickly!"

The Pope then quickened his pace, leading everyone through the endless dark clouds and lightning.

Gradually, the clouds ahead became thinner, faint rays of light began to seep through, and the heavy mist lightened, allowing for a broader view.

Finally, the group emerged from the last remaining cloud.

The sky ahead suddenly bathed in light, a vast expanse with a dazzling sun hanging high in the limitless blue sky.

The upper half of Purgatory Mountain finally revealed itself fully, reaching into the sky’s end, its full height unknown.

"Alright! I’ll escort you this far. I must return to the clouds to find that Five-Colored Divine Thunder. You proceed, leaving some marks along the way. Once I find the thunder, I’ll follow those marks to catch up with you," the Pope hastily left these instructions before swiftly turning back into the dark clouds with his Thunderbolt Staff, his silhouette gradually disappearing into the depths of the thunderclouds.

Huang Yi and the others then resumed their journey. With the Sea Changes into Mulberry Fields’ cooldown this time being five hours, they had plenty of time. Their travel wasn’t as rushed as before. Their mood slightly relaxed, allowing them to log off to eat or use the bathroom.

As they walked, Huang Yi turned and looked around, saying, "Keep an eye out for shortcuts. If we find one, we won’t have to wait for the cooldown of Sea Changes into Mulberry Fields. We can directly leap to the later checkpoints and save time!"

However, after traveling for more than two hours, they found no secret passages, tunnels, or teleportation circles resembling shortcuts.

At this point, they arrived in a desert.

Looking ahead, they saw rolling sand dunes, with seemingly chaotic footprints on them, perhaps from someone frantically rushing through.

"Look, there’s a dust storm over there!" Fuchan Fen suddenly pointed to a region in the right front.

Everyone turned their gaze, indeed seeing a dust trail extending from a great distance, seemingly caused by someone sprinting rapidly, kicking up clouds of dust.

The group rushed toward that direction, quickly closing the distance with the moving dust storm.

There indeed were several people running frantically, looking back in horror, as if something terrifying pursued them.

As the group focused behind them, they saw hundreds of Rattlesnakes slithering, rapidly pursuing the figures ahead, their tails emitting sharp hissing sounds, merging into a chilling cacophony.

At this point, the Poet, observing the running people, explained, "The fourth sin is laziness, and this punishment will continuously force them to run, preventing any rest."

"Hiss~" Suddenly, a strange sound arose from behind the group.

Everyone quickly turned to look!

A Rattlesnake appeared behind them, its tail shaking and its head raised high, flicking its tongue at the group, its cold gaze fixed on them.

"Careful, my Hunter Class scouting shows this is a Purgatory Rattle Snake; a bite is lethal to anything below the Divine Domain, even a Demigod will be poisoned! Don’t move at all, as any movement will result in a relentless chase from this Rattlesnake, forcing us only to flee. I’ll handle it!" Fuchan Fenrao quickly warned.

No one dared to move, holding their positions firmly.

Though not afraid of poisoning, Huang Yi also chose to remain motionless.

Fuchan Fenrao twisted her waist and began moving in an odd rhythm, her body twisting like a snake.

She approached the Rattlesnake from the front, bending down and slowly getting closer, deliberately leaning her head towards it, closing the distance to less than half a meter!

The Rattlesnake kept flicking its tongue, its head shaking from side to side, watching Fuchan Fenrao with a posture ready to strike!

Everyone clenched their fists, holding their breath, anxious for Fuchan Fenrao!

At such close range, there was no avoiding a strike from the Rattlesnake!

Fuchan Fenrao began swaying her head in time with the snake’s, whistling an odd tune like a Snake Charmer.

The Rattlesnake, hearing this melody, gradually calmed down, coiling its body without making any noise.

Fuchan Fenrao gently reached out, touching the Rattlesnake’s head, but it did not attack her.

Finally letting out a sigh of relief, Fuchan Fenrao pinched the snake’s neck, lifting it up, saying, "Alright! I’ve tamed this Rattlesnake! Such snakes can’t be found outside; they’re a specialty of Purgatory. Now I have another powerful beast to tame! Its venom is unmatchable!"

The group visibly relaxed, dropping their guard, though still keeping a respectful distance from Fuchan Fenrao, warily observing the Rattlesnake.

Then, Huang Yi approached Fuchan Fenrao, extending his arm and rolling up his sleeve, said, "Let it bite me once!"
