Chapter 29 What are you...

Without instrument measurement, Hogu did not know the actual wind speed of these giant tornado columns, but one thing he knew deeply was that the wind speed was very high, very high, exceeding the wind speed of any tornado on the earth.

The howling wind arrived in an instant, giving Hogu no time to respond. The first approaching tornado enveloped part of the island, and the lichen in the area was uprooted. This process was like someone gently lifting the surface of a table.

Brush away the dust.

After this giant tornado pillar crossed the island, the island was no longer safe. This was just the beginning.

Due to mutual attraction, the giant tornado that crossed the island met another giant tornado, which changed their trajectories again, and swept across the coastline of the volcanic island in an entangled way.

The taproots exposed on the coastline, after the entangled giant tornado column quickly passed by, the roots growing to both sides had disappeared, leaving only the bare taproots.

Even though it was not blown away by the giant tornado thanks to the roots that penetrated deep into the rock formations, the condition of the main root was not much better. The outer skin had been peeled off, as if it had been continuously scratched by some kind of sharp blade.

The central axis cavity pipe in the center of the main root, which has the function of transporting resources, has been exposed without reservation.

After this entangled giant tornado column moved some distance away from the island coastline, perhaps because of the entanglement between the two tornado columns, it soon ran out of energy and completely dissipated.

However, the damage they caused has not disappeared, and the island is in a mess under their trampling.

The remaining tornado pillars are still approaching, and they don't seem to intend to let this poor island go.

Huogu could do nothing but watch everything he had worked so hard to build be destroyed.

It wants to stop it, but is helpless. Its opponent is the 'wind', a thermal cyclone. What can it rely on to defeat a cyclone?

The third tornado pillar landed. It passed straight along the central axis of the island. The island's visual system, which had managed to escape the attack of two tornado pillars, was destroyed, and the tangled main roots were forcibly severed.

.

Thunder and lightning continued to appear, falling from above to the harbor. A whole cloud of mist floated on the sea surface in the harbor. It was hydrogen and oxygen formed by ionization by lightning, and was carried into the giant tornado column by the air current.

Coincidentally, the giant tornado column has reached directly above the crater, and the heat is restrained. The flammable gases such as methane and hydrogen that have reached the ignition point are instantly ignited with the addition of oxygen.

Fire tornado column formed!

This fire tornado column came down from the crater, plowed through a scarred taproot, and circled around the island casually a few times, then left a scorched black mark on the island like a ghostly symbol before dissipating.

Other tornado columns seemed to have changed their trajectories towards the island because of this fire tornado. After passing over the sea near the island, they dissipated about three nautical miles away from the island.

However, the thunderstorm has not stopped yet.

Lightning crackled in the air, accompanied by torrential rain, and bursts of mist rose. Then, the hydrogen and oxygen, mixed with the high concentration of methane in the air, were ignited by lightning and exploded into sparks, which were then ignited by the torrential rain.

It is extinguished and the cycle repeats.

Thunder and lightning are like whips held in the hands of gods, and volcanic islands are like sinners with heinous crimes, constantly being whipped and punished.

Huo Gu's heart skipped a beat at this moment.

In fact, Huo Gu was not worried about the disaster of wind and fire just now. At most, it was just a pain in the body and resources that needed to be repaired.

The reason is very simple. Wildfires cannot burn out, and the spring breeze blows and grows again. The core of the entire rhizome system is the nodular mass. As long as there is nothing wrong with that place, no matter how damaged the rhizome system is, it can be quickly repaired.

But thunderstorms are different. Lightning can be conducted, and the entire rhizome system is connected. As long as lightning hits, all cells in the entire rhizome system will be electrocuted.

A bolt of lightning was okay, the rhizome system was large and could withstand it, so Huogu didn't take the lightning that occasionally fell from the tornado column just now seriously.

But it never expected that after the giant tornado column, the occasional lightning would escalate into a thunderstorm, and it would be hit by more than ten lightning bolts at once. The size of the rhizome system was far from enough.

This is like winning the lottery. The person who won the million-dollar jackpot won the million-dollar jackpot again the next day. Huogu is like that situation now, except that the example of the million-dollar jackpot is that great blessings come all the time, and it is a bad luck star.

Gao Zhao's misfortune never comes alone!

"Shouldn't my luck have been used up during the time travel? Why is it still there?"

Huo Gu didn't even know how to describe the current situation. When such a thing had never happened, he could still use probability to explain it. But when it did, probability theory was nonsense. He had seen through this.

"No, it won't work like this, absolutely not! If it continues like this, it will only be a matter of time before lightning strikes. Now is not the time to worry about trouble. The connection between the rhizome system and the nodular mass must be immediately disconnected!"

Huo Gu could no longer sit still and wait for death. He immediately issued an order to the rhizome system to disconnect the main root from the system.

But it was still a step too late. At the moment when it issued the command, the lightning finally hit a main root. It was a main root whose skin had been peeled off and the central axis was exposed.

The interior of the central axis contains a large number of metal ions, which means that the central axis has an electrical conductivity no less than that of mineral water. The power of lightning is transmitted to every main root, every root, and every cell of the rhizome system at sub-light speed.

.

Huo Gu was shocked to find that the lightning conducted within the rhizome system had covered its instructions, and the nodular mass had not executed the separation instruction just now.

After this hit, the intensity of the thunderstorm suddenly increased, and the hit rate also became extremely high. Not one of the dozens of lightnings hit, and one of the ten lightning bolts could hit. It was as if these lightnings had consciousness, like a baby's.

Generally sum up mistakes and experience to achieve success.

If someone in the previous life told him that thunder and lightning are alive and have life and thinking, then Huogu would subconsciously think that the other person was a patient who escaped from a mental hospital.

Huogu felt that he must have been alone for too long, which affected his thinking and judgment. Thunder and lightning are plasma generated by the combination of positive and negative charges in the clouds. How can it be related to life?

But reality is not a story. It will not tell you whether it is reasonable or not. According to its laws, "existence is reasonable."

What happened next seemed to confirm Huo Gu's thoughts.

A short piece of information that couldn't be more brief was transmitted through the life field of the tumor-shaped mass to Hoguna, who was lodged in the titanium snail.
