Chapter 14 14: [Havok Mountain] Extreme Weather
As long as it is a foreign environment, it will have its own characteristics.
For example, the foreign land Anji encountered before - the Silent Forest, is characterized by silence. Everything in the foreign land cannot make a sound.
However, these characteristics are not necessarily unique, and other foreign lands may also have the characteristics of silence.
Although Sean's tone sounded like he was asking them, he continued talking on his own before Angie and Barton could answer.
"The characteristic of Mount Havok is extreme weather."
Looking at the suddenly darkening sky, Anji had an ominous premonition.
She looked at Barton. Barton looked indifferent and shrugged.
She looked at Sean again. Sean returned to his usual silent look.
"So, I'm the only one who doesn't know?"
As soon as he finished speaking, it started to rain heavily. The big raindrops continued to hit their armor, making a crackling sound. Along with the howling wind, the dense leaves began to sway crazily, as if they were
Struggling violently.
For a moment, the whole world was crumbling.
The three unsuspecting people turned into drowned rats in an instant. But as fearless people, their bodies were much stronger than ordinary people. Even if they stood wet in the wind and rain in the forest, they only felt slightly cold.
"Even if I tell you, we can't control the weather!"
Feeling Angie's sharp and murderous eyes, Barton tried hard to explain. In order to cover up the noise caused by the storm, he had to raise his voice several degrees, which made the boy's originally clear voice sound aggrieved.
Baba's: "Although the weather is a bit bad, it doesn't have any impact on us. Apart from the thunderstorm, it's not a big deal!"
"Besides, it only takes half a day to walk to the cave. How can you encounter thunder..."
There was a dull thunder in the distant sky.
…
The three of them looked at each other for a moment, their expressions as gloomy as if they were about to drip.
"B-ton-!"
Amidst Anji's roar, the first thunder fell ten meters away from them.
In the dazzling silver light, the thick tree entwined with ivy was roasted until it was pitch black. It tilted slowly like slow motion, torn apart from its waist with its skin and flesh, and finally collapsed.
There was a burning smell in the air, and the faint sound of electricity sizzling could be heard.
Such a natural disaster cannot be endured by humans.
Everyone's faces turned pale instantly, as if it was not the tree that was struck by lightning, but them.
Angie has long been accustomed to preparing for the worst. When she learned about the characteristics of Havok Mountain, she was sure that such an unexpected situation would occur. Although the scene in front of her also caused a big shock to her, it was far from frightening her.
The sanity ran away from home.
It is impossible to stay in the forest. There are trees everywhere here. Standing next to the trees will only make you die faster.
In addition, the thunder happened to fall near them, making it hard not to suspect that this was a deliberate and careless move in the alien world of Havok Mountain.
The next one to be chopped into coke is likely to be them.
In this way, running into the cave in the shortest time seems to be the best option. Once inside the cave, thunderstorms are no longer scary.
Anyone who can become a knight at a young age is not a fool. At the same time as Angie came to the conclusion, Barton and Sean also started to take action.
Relying on his physical advantage and familiarity with the map, Barton rushed to the front of the team and led the way for the two people behind him.
However, the land being washed away by heavy rains was muddy, which greatly restricted their running speed.
The most terrible thing is that the iron plate shoes under their feet also slipped wildly due to water ingress.
The dark clouds were rushing like wild horses, and there was a faint light.
Anji was keenly aware of this change. Without thinking, she pulled off the knight shield on her arm. Using the skills she learned in previous training, she lowered her center of gravity. While her body was spinning, her arms burst out with strong force.
Throw the round shield in your hand hard!
The metal shield rushed into the distant sky like an arrow from a string. The moment it reached its highest point, jagged lightning cut through the clouds and struck down instantly with dazzling sparks!
"Stab-"
It took a few seconds for the white light to completely dissipate, and the shield had long since turned into nothingness, leaving only a weak current running wildly on the damp ground.
This bought them enough time. In the gap where the thunderclouds above their heads accumulated energy, they finally saw the dark hole as they ran wildly.
At the critical moment, Anji suddenly jumped forward, rolled over twice, and finally managed to hide in the cave before the thunder behind him fell.
However, because it had just rained, there was some rainwater accumulated on the ground at the entrance of the cave. When she rolled, she just landed in the pool of water.
"Ahhhhh——"
Screams followed.
Anji still couldn't escape the fate of being electrocuted.
Fortunately, the place where the lightning fell was not too close, and there was not a lot of water on the ground, so she was only slightly shocked. But at the moment she was shocked, she clearly felt her heart stop beating.
one time.
The roar of thunderclouds gradually stopped, and it seemed that the lightning just now was the last.
"Angie...are you okay?"
Looking at Anji, whose eyes were a little dull, and her scream before, even Barton, who was usually the most nervous, became a little panicked.
He didn't dare to touch her, but cautiously waved his hand in front of her eyes.
Anji finally reacted and sighed quietly.
"It's okay, I'm just a little numb... Wait for me to take a break..."
…
At this time, the three young men in the cave each had wet hair and sat in a circle dejectedly.
As Sean and Barton took off the plate armor one after another, the water inside instantly flowed to the ground, barely holding a few fish.
Angie's situation is slightly better. As a trainee knight, she only has the chain armor she wears, which actually becomes an advantage at this time.
But she had other things on her mind.
Ever since she met the Cyclops in the forest, she had a vague hunch that her luck in this world seemed to be very bad.
On the first day of time travel, he was involved in an unstable and alien environment, struggling on the verge of death.
The next day, when she and Scott ran away, Cyclops chose to chase her.
Today, I took the initiative to enter a foreign land for the first time, and I was lucky enough to randomly encounter the most terrible thunderstorm, and at the last moment, I was forcibly electrocuted...
Fortunately, these things have passed. I am lucky to have no arms or legs. Only when I am content can I always be happy.
Even the brief silence made Barton sit on pins and needles. He racked his brains and tried every means to find a topic.
"Anji, where did you learn that move of throwing shield and drawing thunder? It's so awesome!"
"Oh. I learned it when I was playing in Hyrule."
Anji's voice was muffled and she seemed a little absent-minded. At this time, she was calculating the probability that there would be a surprise waiting for her in this cave.
Sean and Barton looked at each other. They had never heard of such a place in Glossk Territory, and they all wondered whether the girl would become stupid because of the electric shock she just received...
When Anji came back to her senses, she raised her head and directly met the two people's eyes full of sympathy and pity. She instantly got goosebumps all over her body and couldn't help but tremble a few times.
In order to divert their attention, she quickly brought up a new topic:
"So, is the cave we are in now a level three alien realm?"
Seeing that Anji's thinking was quite clear and there was no sign of dementia, Barton instantly beamed with joy and said briskly:
"Yes~"
Before Anji could breathe a sigh of relief, Sean immediately added: "But we don't know the characteristics of this foreign land yet."
??
Anji looked at Barton with wide eyes, his eyes filled with confusion, shock and disgust.
This silent questioning was so effective that Barton jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
"What are you doing! This is just a low-level foreign land, and I will lead you here as the deputy captain. There is nothing to be afraid of!"
After saying these words without thinking, he suddenly realized that the thunderstorm that almost killed them just now belonged to a low-level foreign land - Havok Mountain.
This usually heartless young man's eyes began to dodge a little, showing a rare expression of guilty conscience.
Seeing that it was rare for him to reflect on himself, neither Angie nor Sean continued to ask questions.
But after all this fuss, everyone was a little hungry. They took out the dry food in their pockets one after another, only to find that after being exposed to the rain, the dry food not only turned into wet food, but also had dots on the surface.
To be continued...
