The desert weather can be strange, but it's rare for the sky to turn dark from day to night.

And it looks like it's going to rain..

In the desert, torrential rain is rare..

"More precipitation in deserts must be a good thing. Rain wets the soil and sand, providing more water for plants. Plants grow bigger and bigger, which can feed more animals and make deserts more vibrant.".

”

Aji saw that the black clouds in the sky seemed to be squeezing water out, and he could not help but reach out to receive it. It seemed that he believed that it would rain..

Pearl also said,

"If it rains long enough, it will also enlarge the desert lakes and nourish more oases and people on them.".

I also welcome a heavy rain. It almost killed me just now!"

Hua Mulan shook her head and said:

"You all like heavy rain, but the truth may not be as good as you think..

My experience tells me that heavy rain in the desert may be a disaster..

Therefore, I hope that the lightning tribulation will not fall with heavy rain.

”

"Then why?"

Aji and Goku both seem interested..

At this time, Long Aotian acted as the temporary "geography teacher" for the two children and spoke freely:

The Netherworld Sea Desert is known as the "dry pole" of the Luosha Sea surface, and its core area has been in an extremely dry state for the past 1,000 years, with almost no decent precipitation..

But this has changed in recent years..

Last year, the Sea of Hades Desert experienced the worst rainfall in a thousand years in March and August..

The desert has never been wetter than two storms.

People thought the desert would become more lively after rain, but unexpectedly, research found that many creatures were "soaked" by rain and died.

”

" Ah! How is that possible? Isn't it because there's water that makes animals more energetic?" Ah Ji scratched his head and expressed his confusion..

Long Aotian said patiently,

" The Netherworld Sea Desert is extremely dry and has nurtured some special life forms. They can endure extremely dry ecosystems. They only need a little water to maintain their lives and reproduce..

And there's a lot of them..

There are at least 16 microbial species..

After the storm, the researchers collected samples from the same area again for analysis and found that all 10 microorganisms were missing..

That means death..

Microbes living in drought environment for a long time have adapted to the environment of water shortage, and the osmotic pressure in the body is basically stable..

If the desert suddenly receives a large amount of water, the concentration of substances in the soil will change suddenly, the osmotic pressure will also change, and the microorganisms will die because they cannot adapt to this change..

Only a small number of adaptable species survive..

Moreover, not only microorganisms, but also many plants may be affected by this change..

Plants in the desert are drought-tolerant and heat-tolerant, but do not like too wet plants.

If it rains for a long time, these plants will drown because of the heavy rain, making the desert's already scarce plants even rarer..

”

The reason why Long Aotian, Ah Ji, and the others suddenly became talkative was because everyone was the first to face the lightning tribulation. Although they were not transcending the lightning tribulation, the tension in their hearts was no less than Lord Cangyuan and the others..

Keep talking and you can relieve your nervousness!

On the contrary, at this moment, Lord Cangyuan and the two big shots of the Form Integration Stage had already followed Ma Ji's arrangements and were fully prepared. They sat cross-legged with their eyes closed and emptied their thoughts. Instead, they welcomed the lightning tribulation without much fear..

People, only personally, only to know that all the fear is their own fear!

When facing death, they became calm and composed. Lord Cangyuan and the others had such a mentality now..

" What's going on? The sky is dark, dark clouds are pressing down, thunder is rolling, lightning is almost hitting our camp!"

Sect Leader Jing and Vice Sect Leader Yao Yue could no longer sit still. They stood at the top of the camp and looked at the sky. Their expressions were ugly..

"It looks like there will be heavy rain. Our camp is built in a low-lying place. We have to order our disciples to move to a higher place quickly..

”

：.

: Invite the Deputy Chief of the Moon to worry and make suggestions.

Liuhua Sect's 300 disciples built 300 tents. In order to avoid the cold wind at night, they camped in low-lying sand dunes..

Master Jing was experienced and had come to the Netherworld Sea more than once or twice. She said,

"Rain changes the landscape here..

Desert is different from other land. The geology is softer and more unstable. Even wind changes its appearance, let alone rain..

Loose desert soil cannot store water. Even if there is a heavy rainstorm, the water will quickly flow underground. The lost rainwater will carry away soil and gravel, causing soil erosion and even causing geological disasters..

After a rainstorm, deserts experience a short wet period, but after rain there is less moisture in the air, deserts quickly return to high temperatures, perhaps even hotter than before the rain, and water that has not yet run away evaporates. Lakes also lose more valuable water due to increased evaporation..

Heavy rain, not a good thing!

Let the disciples move!"

The female disciples of Liuhua Sect were not worried about the rainstorm. Instead, they were afraid that the electric arcs in the sky would tear them apart. Some of the electric arcs would fall on the desert not far away, just like a bomb exploding. The yellow sand was flying everywhere. It was terrifying..

" What's going on? We won't be struck to death by lightning this time we come to the Netherworld Sea, right?"

" How can there be such a terrifying electric arc in the desert? I'm worried too. Wan Yi died for no reason. I'm so unwilling!

I haven't found a boyfriend yet!"

Master Jing immediately said sternly,

"Whoever says these words that shake the morale of the army will be punished according to the sect rules!"

The female disciples immediately obeyed and quietly hid in their small tents..

The Jinghong Sect Leader was furious. Who dared to provoke her?

" This Ma Ji is really a troublemaker! The lightning and dark clouds in the sky are all concentrated above Ma Ji's camp of more than 1,000 people. We are all threatened by lightning here. Ma Ji and the others…" Thinking of this, Jinghong Sect Leader couldn't help but smile gloatingly..

"Sister, let's go and see what happened. The situation on Ma Ji's side is especially strange. I always feel that it doesn't make sense..

Even if something happens to Ma Ji and the others, we have to collect the spoils first! If they are all killed by lightning..."Vice Leader Yao Yue carefully put forward his suggestion.

Although it was inappropriate to use the word " spoils of war ", the word " picking up cheap " was even more inappropriate for the noble and cold Vice Leader Yao Yue.

Master Jing frowned and said:

"Ma Ji is just a small character. If he dies, he dies. It's no big deal. With their cultivation, there won't be anything good for us to look at..

But you're right.

Since you want to see the situation, go ahead! Take a few capable disciples to see.

However, the lightning is currently in the midst of a four-pronged attack. Are you sure you want to go and take a look?"

Vice Sect Leader Yaoyue immediately cupped his fists to Sect Leader Jinghong and said,

"Thank you, Sect Leader. I'll go and take a look now..

Don't worry, I'll be careful..

”

Therefore, Vice Sect Leader Yao Yue immediately led ten inner sect disciples at the Void Training Stage and flew toward Ma Ji's camp..

Of course, they didn't dare to fly high. The electric arcs in the sky wouldn't pity girls. Even if the female disciples of Liuhua Sect were all beautiful like flowers, they would still be chopped into charcoal..

At this moment, Lei Zhenzi, Jiang Lili, and Bai Shanshan arrived at the Netherworld Sea, five kilometers above Ma Ji's head, ready to start work..

" Yo! It's been a few months, and Ma Ji has become even more handsome. His cultivation has advanced to level 5 of the Nascent Soul Stage. He's really a cultivation genius!" Jiang Lili saw Ma Ji and her eyes lit up..

Originally, when Ma Ji was in the Thunder Temple, Jiang Lili wanted to "get rid of" Ma Ji, but unfortunately Ma Ji slipped away..

" You! Since when do you always want to play games? Let's get serious!" Bai Shanshan rolled her eyes at Jiang Lili and opened the opening of the wind bag. Suddenly, a strong wind poured down from the wind bag..

The Netherworld Sea, which was already shrouded by dark clouds of lightning, and the howling wind, now became a veritable legend of the Land of Death..
