After lunch, the weather became extremely hot and humid. The sky was gloomy and filled with thick, dark clouds.
After more than 20 days of drought, a heavy downpour was coming.
At three o 'clock in the afternoon, the sky was completely dark. Thick dark clouds rolled and wriggled, as if a black curtain was hung over the sky. Faint streaks of lightning could be faintly seen, and a low roar like that of a giant could be heard.
A trace of moist coolness was blowing from the entrance of the cave, making people feel refreshed.
Gradually, the wind outside the grotto grew stronger. From a gentle breeze at the beginning, it quickly turned into a gale, a gale.
The strong wind blew through the forest, making a strange sound like a giant beast. The forest was rolling like waves, and countless towering trees were shaking non-stop. From time to time, there was a cracking sound of branches breaking.
A large amount of sand, dried leaves, and even gravel were swept into the air, like a wild horse that had gone crazy. Occasionally, it would form a violent tornado, but then it would be blown away by the strong wind nearby.
The dark clouds were getting lower and lower, completely engulfing the mountains in the distance. The wind was also getting stronger, blowing sand and stones away. The sky had become gray.
…
"Hurry up!" Luo Yuan shouted, the veins on his neck bulging.
A few men looked ferocious as they struggled to push a huge rock that weighed more than 10 tons towards the entrance of the cave. The violent whirlwind circled back and forth in the stone corridor, making a horrifying sound. The few of them were blown left and right, their clothes fluttering in the wind. It was difficult for them to stand.
One of the soldiers seemed to be exhausted. He could not stand steadily and was blown away by the strong wind.
Luo Yuan quickly grabbed the soldier and pulled him back to his original position. "Be careful!"
The soldier's face was pale with fear, but he quickly pulled himself together. They were about 50 to 60 meters from the ground, which was about 15 to 16 floors high. If they fell, it would be difficult for them to survive.
"Stop, this is the place!" Luo Yuan said.
Everyone was relieved. Then, one by one, they carefully climbed over the huge rock and ran into the cave. They huddled in a corner, their faces pale.
A large amount of dust and dried leaves were poured into the cave along with the strong wind. The dust was everywhere, and the air was turbulent, making it impossible to see.
"We don't have much time. This is the best I can do in a short period of time. Hopefully, it will be of some use." Luo Yuan could not help but sigh as he looked at the oversized entrance and the huge boulder.
This cave entrance was just too large. Even though it was a bit cramped and low for giants, and they might even have to lower their heads to enter, that was the standard for giants. In fact, it was five meters tall and one and a half meters wide.
Speaking of which, the rock that was blocking the way weighed more than ten tons. It sounded very heavy, but considering the density of the rock, it was only about one meter tall and two meters long. Not to mention completely blocking the entrance, they couldn't even block a quarter of it.
Of course, the biggest use of this boulder was not to block the wind, but to provide a shelter when people were blown away by the wind.
"Damn it, this is the Kunlun Mountain Range, where did the wind come from? Even the typhoons in our coastal areas aren't this strong! "Huo Dong hurriedly covered his face with his hands and cursed.
Everyone was huddled in the corner of the cave, looking at the dark clouds in the sky. Their faces were slightly pale.
"There's no more coastal areas!" Lin Xiaoji reminded them quietly. As soon as he opened his mouth, a gust of strong wind blew into his mouth.
Huo Dong was stunned for a moment, and then he sighed dejectedly. Yes, there had been no coastal areas for a long time. This was the real coastal area.
At this moment, a shadow rapidly descended from the sky. In an instant, it violently slammed into the entrance of the cave, making a loud sound. The ground shook violently, and a large part of the entrance collapsed under the impact. A large amount of rubble rolled down, and even the walls of the cave began to crack.
This time, it was completely unexpected. Except for Luo Yuan, everyone's heart skipped a beat and their faces turned pale.
"What's that?" Huang Jiahui asked, her voice obviously trembling.
"It's a branch!" Luo Yuan said with a serious face. His vision was sharp, and he could distinguish it clearly even in the dim environment. It was not a small branch, but a branch with a diameter of 40 to 50 centimeters. Before the apocalypse, such a thick tree could be considered a big tree.
His heart was heavy. To be able to break such a tree, which was an extremely tough mutated tree, and throw a branch that weighed a few tons into the air, such a force of wind must have far exceeded the destructive power of a level 12 wind.
The environment on Earth seemed to be getting worse. The melting of the glaciers in the North and South Poles, and the existence of the cosmic storm seemed to have caused a global climate disorder. He secretly analyzed in his heart.
Not long after, accompanied by intense lightning and thunder, a heavy downpour finally arrived. Countless lightning bolts would form a dazzling electric net in mid-air from time to time. Perhaps it was because the cosmic storm had caused the atmosphere to carry a large amount of electric charge, but the energy level of the lightning was exceptionally strong.
The sky was bright and dark, and everyone's face was pale.
It had not been long since the previous thunderstorm, and such lightning could not help but remind them of the terrifying scene.
However, compared to the thunderstorm that had almost destroyed the world, the lightning this time was still within the normal range. Whether it was the scale, density, or energy level, it was much smaller. It was on a completely different order of magnitude, but it was still enough to make everyone, who had already become frightened by the mere twang of a bow, tremble in fear.
Even Luo Yuan was no exception. He was also a human, not a God. If he encountered such lightning, it would be useless even if he was a few times stronger.
Perhaps it was because the drought had been too long, and the rainstorm this time was exceptionally strong.
The torrential rain poured into the grotto along with the strong wind, making "pa pa" sounds. Within a few minutes, a large pool of water had accumulated on the ground. Nearby, heavy objects were constantly smashing into the grotto, making frightening loud noises. Some of them fell onto the cliff, even causing landslides.
The atmosphere in the grotto was somewhat depressing. Everyone was silent, and even with the strong wind covering their voices, they could still hear each other's heavy breathing.
… …
The entire storm lasted for nearly five hours. When it gradually stopped, the sky had already turned pitch-black.
Luo Yuan waded through the water that almost reached his thighs, and slowly walked out of the half-collapsed door. Under the night sky, the grass in front of him had disappeared, and in its place was a huge swamp.
The forest had also been ravaged by the strong wind, and it was a mess. There were trees everywhere, and some of them had even been uprooted and hung miserably on another big tree. Even some of the trees in the area had disappeared. It seemed that the eye of the storm had been there.
However, Luo Yuan did not feel happy. Instead, he was a little worried. Although the rainstorm was very destructive, it had also brought a lot of water. In the past, because of the drought, the growth of plants had been suppressed, but now that the rainstorm had come, he did not know how fast the plants would grow. Moreover, as the water source was solved, the mutated beasts that had migrated to other places might also return.
"It seems that this place is getting more and more dangerous. I have to leave this place as soon as possible," he thought to himself.
However, there was still some good news. The hot summer air had been blown away by the rainstorm, and a light breeze was blowing. The moist wind had a slight coolness, and it made him feel refreshed.
He enjoyed the cool breeze for a while, and then turned around and walked back to the grotto.
