Long Live Summons

Chapter 781.1 [Little Monster and Old Monster]

Enduring the howling winds and torrential rain, they finally reached the end of Rain Valley.

Here, there was a particularly strange looking rain shelter. Among the countless buildings of the Heaven Realm, Wei Shu had never seen a building of this form, it was open on all sides with only four pillars supporting the octagonal pavilion. Inside, there was an old man who seemed to be sitting down to have a drink.

Only when walking closer, would they realize something was wrong.

This old man was not sitting, but half-sitting, half-standing. He was in this position because his body below his waist had turned to stone, he was unable to stand or sit, but from a distance it looked as if he was sitting. In fact, this half-sitting, half-standing posture, in which you can’t sit down, and even more so, you can’t stand up, is the most exhausting, and it would have been worse than death for this old man to keep this posture for a long time.

In front of this man with fossilized legs, a wine jug and a cup were placed.

The wine jug and cup were placed at the center of the table and looked as if anybody could reach out and take them easily.

However, the jug and the cup were just out of the reach of this old man, and even if he strained his body with all his might, his fingers could not even brush against the jug and the cup, narrowly missing them by a breath.

Being unable to sit down, or to stand up; to look at the wine in front of you, yet unable to reach the jug and pour a drink... This kind of punishment may not seem like much on the surface, but when you think about it, it is the most cruel punishment in the world. When Wei Shu saw this, he felt shivers on his back once again, if one day he was forced to bear such punshiment, he might as well commit suicide. Of course, he also understood that the expert who punished this old man in such a manner would definitely not give the old man a chance to commit suicide, so in this case, it was actually already worse than then death. One might fear death, but facing such never-ending torment, Wei Shu would still prefer death, after all death would pass by immediately, but such torment would last forever.

“Old-timer, please have a drink.” Wei Shu was unable to free the old man from his half-fossilised state as it had to do with the power of law in this place, if he tried to forcefully free the old man, not only would he not be able to save him, but he himself might even turn into stone also.

But, to pour a glass of wine for the old man.

Can still be done easily.

It would be too easy if such a simple action could be exchanged for information about how to leave Rain Valley from the old man.

Wei Shu bowed his head and did not dare to look at Yue Yang behind him, before respectfully pouring a glass of wine for the old man in front of him, whose legs had been fossilized, and served it to him with both hands.

That old man should have been a deprived drunkard, he immediately snatched the cup of wine.

Threw back his neck and gulped down the wine in a hurry.

It’s done.

Wei Shu felt like he had finally made some contributions, any opportunity to serve ‘Third Young Master’ must not be missed. Could he let ‘Third Young Master’ do something like pouring wine for the old man? He naturally couldn’t, he himself must do these menial tasks! The next thing would be how to obtain information from the old man, how to get him to reveal to them the secret of leaving this Rain Valley.

“Ahhhhhhhh!”

The Old man screamed miserably, and his originally red and lively face turned dead black.

Black blood spilled out of his eyes and nostrils, revealing a look of severe poisoning as if he would suffocate and die at any moment.

“I didn’t do it, I didn’t do anything!” Wei Shu was startled and hurriedly pleaded with Yue Yang. It must have been the Demon Doctor, Ghost Eye King, etc. who passed by before and put poison in the cup, otherwise, he had done nothing himself, how could the old man get poisoned? But what made Wei Shu feel suspicious was that when he first took the cup, he had already scanned the cup for poison and found it to contain none, otherwise he would not have offered it to the old man to drink, therefore how could the old man be poisoned immediately after drinking from the cup?

“Stupid.” Yue Yang grunted coldly, “This is the power of punishment.”

As soon as Yue Yang spoke, Wei Shu thoroughly understood.

It was not that his hands were problematic.

It also wasn’t the Demon Doctor and the others who poisoned the old man, but the punishing power of the law that was at work, no matter who took pity on the old man and poured wine for him, the wine that went into his throat would become poisonous wine. That is to say, even if the old man had wine to drink, he would not be better off, rather he would be even more miserable and painful!

Wei Shu’s act of pouring wine was a good act on the surface, but in reality, it only added to the torment of the old man.

“Yes, yes, I was reckless.”

Thinking about this, Wei Shu sweated and almost fainted.

Even in the Central Palace Hall, he himself was considered to be a superior being of high intelligence, how could he make such a mistake?

The old man coughed for a long time, as if he were about to cough out his lungs.

After a long period of time.

Only then did it stop.

His facial expressions gradually returned to normal, his eyes regained a little bit of clarity and he no longer looked liked on the brink of death like before. He coughed painfully while waving his hands, “No, it’s okay, I haven’t had a drink for a long time and have been yearning for it for a long time. I was really yearning for it, and I can’t die anyway so having one drink is fine. You guys are also training right, there were many warriors of your strength who came here to train in the past, but not as many now........The conditions to pass through the Rain Valley is actually very simple. you just need to catch a live Lightning Rain Swallow and return within a day’s time, and then release it on top of this rain shelter.”

The Lightning Rain Swallow was a special class of flying war beast with very fast flying speeds.

It flies in the sky all year-round.

Even when it is sleeping, it doesn’t stop flying, and if there are no special circumstances, it hardly ever stops flying.

In the Heaven Realm, this bird is also known as the ‘footless swallow’. What was even stranger was that despite this lightning rain swallow’s good fighting strength and fast flying speed, it was very cowardly. War beasts that were much weaker than it could scare it into fleeing away, and if it were captured by a powerful war beast or warrior, it would most likely die of fear on the spot.

Therefore, many warriors in the Heaven Realm also called it the ‘Gutless Swallow’.

With the strength of Wei Shu, it would not be very difficult to catch a Lightning Rain Swallow, even though he was forbidden to fly in this Rain Valley.

But to bring it back alive and release it on top of this rain shelter would be a little difficult... Wei Shu looked at Yue Yang and realising that he had no indication of expressing his opinion, Wei Shu just waved his hand and hurried out of the pavilion to look for the Lightning Rain Swallow.

It seemed that not only was he required to bring back live Lightning Rain Swallows, he had to bring back two of them as well!

With Third Young Masters identity, would he personally go and capture Lightning Rain Swallows?

It was impossible to even think about it!

The moment Wei Shu thought about this, he hurried out, focusing his thoughts on how exactly was he supposed to capture live Lightning Rain Swallows?
