He lowered his body slightly and listened for a while.
There was no movement around. Even the usual chirping of insects and birds in the forest had disappeared due to the sudden explosion. There was only the rustling sound of the wind blowing through the forest.
He listened for a while and then walked towards the deep pit in front of him. His footsteps were soft and silent. He was relieved when he reached the deep pit.
There was nothing in it!
The pit was about 11 to 12 meters deep and had a diameter of 60 to 70 meters. It looked like a huge meteorite crater.
Perhaps it was a meteorite crater!
Luo Yuan saw a pile of gravel at the bottom of the pit.
It could be seen that the pile of gravel was originally a whole piece. It had only shattered due to the violent impact with the ground.
He hesitated for a while and then jumped down. He walked to the bottom of the pit and touched the gravel with his hand. The gravel was unusually hot, which proved Luo Yuan's guess. However, he was puzzled as the gravel did not seem to have any signs of being burned.
It was important to note that when a meteorite fell into Earth, it would burn violently under the high-speed friction of the atmosphere. Most meteorites would completely disappear in this violent burning process. Those that could finally fall to the ground and leave behind meteorites were generally relatively large, and they all showed signs of melting.
He looked up at the sky doubtfully. The sky was filled with dark clouds. He looked for a while and when he looked away, he seemed to have felt something. He subconsciously looked up and his pupils shrank. He saw a small dot falling from the sky. At first, it was only the size of a sesame seed. In the blink of an eye, it became bigger and bigger like a balloon.
In just a few breaths, it was already the size of a basketball.
A wisp of faint cyan smoke vaguely appeared behind the 'meteorite', as if there was a long tail hanging behind it. It was the phenomenon of the intense friction of the air, resulting in a high temperature.
As the meteorite grew bigger, the green smoke became thicker as well. It was about to burn.
At this time, Luo Yuan could even see the fine lines of the 'meteorite' and the thick air that was like a shield. Before it landed, a majestic aura of destruction came towards him.
Judging from the trajectory of the meteorite, the landing point of the meteorite seemed to be nearby. He was shocked and suddenly recovered from his daze.
With a few leaps, he quickly escaped from the crater and sprinted in the direction he came from.
His heart was pounding. Thick blood was transmitted to his limbs through the powerful beating of his heart. The strong sense of danger had already forced him to the limit of his speed.
One tree after another flew past quickly, and the scenery before his eyes changed at high speed. Countless information flooded into his mind like a tide, making it impossible for his brain to distinguish clearly. He could only instinctively make various movements.
Maybe ten seconds, maybe a minute.
It wasn't until a loud "boom" was heard that he slowly stopped.
He held his knees and panted heavily. After half a minute, he looked in the direction of the sound.
A huge mushroom cloud rose straight into the sky.
He quickly climbed to the tallest tree in the vicinity and determined the direction. Only then did he realize that his previous judgment was wrong. He was completely scaring himself. The two meteorite craters were three to four kilometers apart.
Not to mention the impact of the aftershock, it might not even be able to blow a breeze.
"But what's going on? How is it possible for two meteorites to land nearby? There are no signs of a meteor shower in the sky. The probability of two meteorites landing in the same area is even lower than winning the lottery. "
He was a little suspicious. He ran to the latest meteorite crater.
He was a little surprised. The two meteorite craters were almost the same size. It seemed that even the gravel was somewhat similar. If they were pieced together, it would look like some kind of pebbles.
His expression changed. His eyes were fixed on the sky, hoping to find some clues. He stood on the ground that was hit by the 'meteorite' without blinking his eyes.
The sky was the territory of flying creatures. Apart from the occasional intersection, it was almost a different world.
Small dots moved high in the sky, occasionally flying into the sky, showing a huge and streamlined body.
Luo Yuan's vision was sharp, especially after eating the eyeball of the hidden green man. His vision was even better. Even if it was just a small dot the size of a needle, in his eyes, he could vaguely distinguish the general shape and color.
He patiently identified them one by one, but he did not find any suspicious targets.
Unknowingly, he had been staring at them for almost half an hour. Staring at these tiny targets for a long time made his eyes sore. Just when he was about to give up, a strange dot came into Luo Yuan's sight.
It was a green mutated bird. Its claws seemed to be grabbing something and it was trying to fly higher. As the distance was too high, he could not see it clearly. At first, Luo Yuan thought it was catching some prey, but it flew higher and higher. Soon, he could not even see the small dot clearly.
Gradually, he had a bad feeling in his heart.
Sure enough, not long after, a small dot fell from the sky again.
"F * ck!" Luo Yuan could not help but curse. His face was pale. He had completely remembered the giant green bird.
"F * ck, I didn't expect this beast to be so vengeful. Damn it, it even knows how to throw stones." Luo Yuan was so angry that his face turned green.
Before the apocalypse, the highest flying birds could fly up to 17,000 meters in the sky, and that was only for ordinary birds. A light green mutated beast with a stronger body and a stronger vitality could fly even higher if it could overcome its instinctive fear.
Think about it, from a height of twenty to thirty thousand or even thirty to forty thousand meters, how terrifying the kinetic energy would be? It would be like detonating a small nuclear bomb.
If it were not for the tall and strong trees, and the interconnected branches that effectively blocked and weakened the aftershock of the impact, perhaps the area within a radius of a thousand meters would be flattened.
If the giant stone fell near the cave, the consequences would be unimaginable. The trees there had been cut down, and there was almost no shelter. Once the stone fell, the power of the giant stone would explode.
However, he could only watch as the 'meteorite' flew faster and lower. The only thing he could do was to pray in his heart.
This feeling of powerlessness made Luo Yuan feel an indescribable depression in his chest. His body was restless, and he could not wait to catch the bird and tear it into pieces.
However, it was just a thought. As long as the bird did not come down from the sky, it was already in an invincible position. Luo Yuan had no chance at all.
Looking at the approaching giant stone, he did not hide this time. Judging from the trajectory, it was too far away this time. Sure enough, after more than a minute, a faint sound came from afar.
The place where the meteorite fell was at least 30 to 40 kilometers away from where he was.
This was the only good news that Luo Yuan had received. At least he knew that the accuracy of such an attack was extremely low, and everything depended on luck.
At this point, it was useless for him to stay there. He turned around and walked back. He had already figured out the frequency of the attack. The interval was about 20 minutes. This was the time when the mutated bird found the stone, threw it into the sky, and returned. At least, there would not be any meteorites falling before he returned to the cave.
He frowned along the way, secretly thinking of countermeasures. Such a negative response was not his style. Moreover, the power of the giant stone was too great. If he was unlucky and got hit by one, the whole team would be wiped out. Even he would have to lie down.
"It was not easy to find a good place. Do I have to migrate again?"
Luo Yuan was unwilling. If it was a green giant bird, he would have accepted it.
However, it was only a light green level creature. If it was on land, with his current strength, he could kill it easily. It was really annoying to think that such a level of creature could make him retreat.
However, he was a rational person. Before he came up with a countermeasure, he could only avoid it.
