It was obviously a cloudy day, and everyone was sweating profusely. Their faces were flushed red, as if they were cooked prawn in a pot. It was as if the entire mountain peak had become a blazing furnace, and the flames were burning brighter and brighter. It had reached an unbearable point.
“It’s really strange today. It’s obviously a cloudy day, but it’s actually so hot.”
“This won’t do. I really can’t stand the heat. If this continues, I’m afraid I’ll melt.”
Everyone was sweating profusely, and they were forced to stop what they were doing. The leading senior brother’s cultivation was a little higher than theirs, but even so, he could still feel the surging heat wave. Even the wind in the air was hot.
He looked at the sky above him. It was gloomy, and there was not a single bit of sunlight. He sensed that there were no strange fluctuations in the surrounding spiritual energy. There should be no one refining pills here.
If that was the case, why would the temperature here suddenly rise? He suppressed the doubts in his heart. He really could not bear to give up the mission in his hand. After all, this was an urgent order from his superior. Time was of the essence, and he could not afford to make any mistakes.
“Let’s hold on a little longer. Only a few stalks we will be able to complete the mission soon.”
Everyone was helpless. They could only circulate all their spiritual energy to resist the surrounding heat. Some even took out water or ice-type artifacts to the surroundings which barely brought out a trace of coolness.
However, these only did the job temporarily. They simply could not solve the problem at the root. As the temperature rose, even these magic treasures lost their use.
There was no sun, but they felt as if ten suns were roasting them in the sky. They were completely defenseless.
Some of the people with lower spiritual power could not withstand the temperature, so their exposed skin became red and wrinkled. Then, small transparent bubbles appeared.
The leader was shocked when he saw this. “This is not a phenomenon caused by fire poison. It can only be done by high-level flames. How could it appear here?”
There was no fire around, but the ground under their feet was boiling hot. The strange feeling was more and more obvious. It was if they were in a big cauldron, and there was a burning flame outside.
He looked around but could not find the source of the change. There was no fire around them, but why was there a fire poison gas? All kinds of doubts emerged, making him puzzled.
However, before he could figure out the reason behind it, he heard a cry, “Look at the skyheart grass!”
It turned out that the skyheart grass could not withstand such high temperature. Its leaves, which were originally as green as jade were now curled up in a charred and withered way. They were like frosted eggplants.
They were extremely careful when they picked skyheart grass. They had used special methods to preserve it, making it look exactly like the ones they had just picked. Only in this way could they preserve the medicinal properties as much as possible. Now that they were like this, it also meant that more
than half of the medicinal properties had been lost.
The leader immediately ordered, “Retreat immediately!”
He secretly hated himself for not leaving earlier. The withering of the skyheart grass would make their losses even greater. Just as they hurriedly retreated, they didn’t know if it was an illusion, but they felt that the temperature had suddenly dropped.

Awind blew in the air, bringing a hint of coolness. The skyheart grass that was gradually withering became much better.
“What the hell is going on?”
“What the hell? Could it be that someone did something?”
Everyone looked at each other. They didn’t know what was going on. It was because of their hesitation that they missed the best opportunity to escape.
Since the temperature had returned to normal and it was no longer hot, the leader did not plan to leave. After all, they still needed to pick a few more skyheart grasses to make up for the few that had withered.
“Everyone, continue to search for the skyheart grasses. I will report the abnormality to the elders later.”
“Drip –”
The cold water fell on one of the people’s face. He suddenly raised his head and muttered to himself, “Is it going to rain?”
The sky was still gloomy. For some reason, everyone felt a little cold. It was as if there was a cold wind constantly blowing from the back of their necks. The piercing cold wind was everywhere, and it could even penetrate into their bones and blood.
‘The companion beside him did not take it to heart. “Maybe. Let’s finish it quickly so we can return quickly. This place is too strange. Who knows what will happen later.”
His words became true. They didn’t expect him to be right.
At first, it was only a few drops of rain, so they didn’t take it to heart. However, the next second, the rain poured down like a torrential downpour. It was as if a big hole had been opened in the sky, and water was continuously leaking down from there.
Everyone was caught off guard. They were poured with water from head to toe. They seemed as if they had just fished it out of the water.
“Is there anything wrong with this damn weather? It’s crazy today!”

“Forget it. It’s probably because we went out without looking at the almanac today. If it’s not going to kill us, it’s going to drown us.”
‘There were already people cursing non-stop. There were also people who hurriedly opened their spiritual energy shields or used waterproof magical artifacts to try to resist the rain.
However, the rain actually ignored the spiritual energy shields or the protection of magical artifacts and went straight through. It was obvious that it was not ordinary rain. The leader’s sharp eyes noticed that the rain did not seem to come from the sky.
It seemed that the sky was just a temporary point of its descent. As for its true source, no one could figure it out.
“This rain is too sudden. Don’t be like the bloody weather just now. It’s coming aggressively. It won’t really drown us, right?”
Although it was a joke, with the previous experience, it was better to leave as soon as possible. However, it was too late..
