Chapter 48: Weird Area
No matter what, I decided to follow their footprints and continue moving forward. After passing through the bushes, there was another dense jungle. Standing in front of the dense forest, I still hesitated. After all, there is still thunder rolling in the sky now, and now I am in a row between the trees. It is a bit of a risk. These tall trees have a high probability of lightning strike in such weather. When I enter the dense forest, once the surrounding trees encounter lightning strikes, the extremely fast and powerful current will form a strong pulse. Once I encounter a mountain, I will definitely suffer. If I get a lightning strike again, I will probably not be able to withstand it.
However, looking at the footprints extending to the depths of the dense forest on the ground, I decided to go in after all, after all, the three of them dared to go in, so I had no reason to retreat, especially An Naduo is still a woman. In addition to some of my luck, I shouldn't have been struck by lightning so by chance, and I am confident that I have not done anything unethical in the years.
Thinking of this, I squatted down and looked at the footprints left by Yuanxiao and the others, determined a direction, and walked into the jungle.
After entering the jungle, I try to keep going straight in one direction, otherwise it will be so dark and I have no other equipment, so I will easily get lost if I accidentally do it.
I walked forward for a long time, and suddenly I felt a strange feeling, and the surroundings were surprisingly quiet! And it was very strange.
This kind of quietness is not that kind of quiet without sound, because the sound of raindrops falling in the sky making on the trees can even be said to be a bit noisy.
I walked forward for a while and suddenly realized why I felt quiet. The whole forest seemed to be the only living creature. Apart from the sound of rain and the sound of walking with me, I could no longer hear any other sounds.
In fact, in the jungle, there is no difference between the lively atmosphere at night and during the day. When people walk there, they will encounter nocturnal animals and will also startle birds to rest.
And here, it is too unusual to be said that I don’t have any animals, not even a bird.
I walked through the trees with full of doubts, and couldn't help but become more vigilant.
After walking a few more steps forward, I felt a little panting. I thought it was probably because my physical strength had not fully recovered, so I helped a tree and bent down to rest.
Just as I stopped, a flash of lightning suddenly appeared in the sky, and I was stunned by the lightning.
This lightning can be said to be standing tall and straight in front of me. This seemed to be right in front of me. This was the first time I saw lightning so close to me. This lightning fell from the top of my head and penetrated straight into the front of the woods. The largest lightning I had ever seen so far disappeared in a blink of an eye, but in this moment, it shocked me greatly. I felt that there was an invisible sword that split the heaven and earth!
Just as I was immersed in the shock just now, before I could come back to my senses, lightning flashed, and a thunder broke out in front of me, with a huge sound, as if someone had detonated a large amount of explosives in front of me, and I felt a violent tremor on the ground under my feet.
I was completely shocked and immediately squatted on the ground. I was so old that I was so scared by lightning and thunder. This time, I also deeply felt the power of nature and my own insignificance. If this lightning fell on me, I might immediately be wiped out.
I squatted on the ground, waiting for everything to calm down, and slowly stood up. I hesitated whether to continue moving forward, or I returned to the camp tent to continue waiting.
And just as I was hesitating, there was another lightning bolt in the sky, which was no less than the one I had just done. With the experience just now, I directly covered my ears and squatted on the ground again. This time I made up my mind to go ahead and take a look.
Generally speaking, lightning is in front and thunder is behind because the speed of lightning is much faster than the speed of sound. Sometimes, through the time difference between lightning and thunder, you can calculate how far away the lightning occurs from us. These two lightning and thunder occur almost at the same time, and the time difference between them is almost almost the same. This makes me feel that the place where lightning occurs is not too far away, and lightning seems to have struck a place not far in front of the woods.
The rain dropped the temperature a lot, and I felt a little cold on my body, which also made the wounds on my shoulders hurt even more. Fortunately, I could still persist. I told myself that through this section of the woods, no matter whether there was any situation in front, whether I could find Lantern Festival or others, I would return to the tent.
This is probably a compromise with one's curiosity. It's like a saying that many people often say when losing weight. Oh, if you have something delicious today, you will eat it even harder for this meal. I won't eat anything delicious tomorrow. I will stick to it! But what's the reality? Who knows!
I covered my shoulders that were beginning to hurt and continued to move forward. After walking for a few minutes, I came to the edge of this woods. And further forward, it turned out to be a wasteland!
I can't imagine that there would be such a unique place in such a rainforest area with dense trees and bushes.
There are no trees or grass on this ground, and large areas of sand and stones are exposed on the ground. Due to the cloudy day, the moon has long been behind the dark clouds, and the surrounding environment is very dark. With the help of the flashlight in my hand, I vaguely saw several huge things standing on this wasteland. Since we were still a relatively long distance between us and the flashlight was really limited, I couldn't see clearly what it was. I could only roughly speculate that those things seemed to be made of stones.
I didn't expect there was such a place behind the woods, which made me very curious and slowly stepped over to find out.
But as soon as I stepped into the wasteland, I suddenly heard a strange noise not far away. I hurriedly turned around, but saw a black shadow that had rushed to me in an instant, grabbed my clothes, pulled back hard, my center of gravity was unstable, and I almost fell to the ground with a flashlight suddenly dropped off my hand and threw it aside.
I was shocked and before I could stabilize my body, I swung the short knife in my hand and slashed hard at the black shadow. But I didn't expect that as soon as I was halfway through, my wrist was suddenly held tightly.
My heart couldn't help but move. I could clearly feel that this was a hand and my body temperature, which made my heart calm down suddenly. This black shadow was a human being, and it was very likely that it was one of the three of Yuanxiao and the others.
One arm was inconvenient, and I finally stood firm and almost fell into the mud on the ground. I was angry and cursed, "Damn, who?"
At this time, the black shadow in front of him said, "It's me." I could hear it immediately. This was Wen Mo's voice. I couldn't help but complain, "I said, boss, can you take action lighter next time!"
At this time, two more people ran over, one of them was holding a flashlight, and the two came to the front, and one of them said, "Damn! Zhuoran, why are you here?"
I knew these two people were Yuanxiao and An Naduo, so I immediately glared at Yuanxiao, who was talking, "You still have the face to say that? You have left me alone and left me alone in the camp, and don't say anything to me! It's so unrighteous!"
"Hi!" Yuanxiao patted his head, "I thought you were just sleeping in the tent in this state. I didn't expect that you could find this in such anger! You have recovered well!" As he said that, he reached out and wanted to touch my shoulder.
I raised my arm and hit his hand aside, "Don't talk nonsense! Stop changing the subject!"
Yuanxiao nodded, reached out to pick up my flashlight, and handed it back to me, "Death, this is up to me, it's because I can't think carefully! Don't be excited, you are already lacking in qi and blood."
When the boy Lanxiao spoke, he really couldn't spit out ivory from his mouth. He didn't have enough qi and blood, and it seemed like I had kidney deficiency. I compared him with his middle finger and ignored him.
Anado came over and asked, "How do you feel?"
I can speak unscrupulously about Lantern Festival, even if I am a man, I can be more casual about Wen Mo. However, after all, Annaduo has known each other for a long time. And she is a woman, I still deliberately restrained her. "Ah, it's much better. Look, I can go so long." I wonder if this feeling will be related to the relationship between her and her second uncle.
I looked at them, "Why are you back here?"
After hearing my words, Yuanxiao smiled, "I don't know how to tell you about this, so you will see it yourself when you wait a moment." As he said, he pulled me back.
Several of us squatted under a tree on the edge of the jungle. I looked at the dense branches and leaves above my head, which blocked a lot of rain for us. However, I was still a little worried that this tree could not be named, and that its tall body would attract thunder.
I couldn't help but speak, "This place is densely filled with lightning, isn't it safe for us to stay here?"
Yuanxiao shook his head, "You don't have to worry about this, lightning will definitely not strike here."
"Ah?" I was very puzzled when Lan Xiao said this, "Why?"
Lantern Festival pointed ahead, "You will know in a while."
I had to shut up and turn to look at the wasteland ahead. As the thunder in the sky rolled in again, Yuanxiao said softly with excitement, "It's coming!"
I don’t understand the meaning of Lantern Festival at all. What is coming?
Just as I was thinking about it, a lightning flash suddenly passed through the sky, followed by a loud "click" sound, and a lightning like a lightsaber fell straight from the sky and slashed into the wasteland ahead. And it fell directly on the tall black shadow in the wasteland.
With the extremely short flash, I also saw the situation ahead. On a large open space in front, there were three things like stone pillars standing. Because the lightning flashed in a flash, I only had time to see these clearly.
