Chapter 1510: Thunder

At first, this newly appeared elf left San Francisco and ran north, which happened to coincide with Zhang Zian's route. He happily thought it was a good thing to kill three birds with one stone. Anyway, he was going to the Redwood Forest to find a venison slaughterhouse, and Lipett's suspicious organization, but when it plunged into the foggy forest, let alone capturing it, it became extremely difficult to get close to it, good things turned into unpredictable.

The game judged the difficulty of catching it as "high", but that was the difficulty in San Francisco. The dense virgin forest and the fog that did not dissipate even during the day may have made its catching difficulty "extremely high".

It's fine if you can't catch it, but it still doesn't disappear, it's like a candle in the dark, attracting countless moths.

But Zhang Zian has already become a tiger, and retreating at this time will make Mrs. Miller, who has finally grasped a glimmer of hope, heartbroken. It will make the problem of Leshi's dog food continue to worsen, and will make Li Pete and the others deceive more people. Due to emotion and reason, he can only bite the bullet and enter the forest now.

Will others be attracted too?

It's like the battle royale type of game that's so popular right now, where you throw some people blindfolded into an unfamiliar forest and see who can survive, or win the Holy Grail.

Fortunately, the forest was big enough, the fog was heavy enough, and he had prepared enough. Now he only hoped that where the elf wanted to go and what he wanted to find, he had better not agree with him, otherwise it would be troublesome.

Vladimir clenched his fists and said boldly: "When friends come, they have good wine, and when jackals come, they get shotguns!"

Old Cha looked up, "Today's fog doesn't seem to dissipate."

"Well, I hope it doesn't disperse too early." Zhang Zian wiped off his sweat, "Femas, is Mike's smell still there?"

"Still."

Femas rushed forward and sniffed here and there. After three days, Mike's smell was still very clear. In its eyes, his smell was like a road woven with several colors, winding and extending to the depths of the forest. , Sometimes he would spit a mouthful of thick phlegm on the ground, which has not evaporated in the forest with extremely high humidity. It is like a traffic sign on the road, and he will not miss it at all.

"Okay, if you smell the fresh scent left by others, please tell me." Zhang Zian said.

Femas heard their conversation, understood the necessity and seriousness of the matter, nodded in agreement, and sniffed the smell more attentively.

"Zian, the fog is so thick and the trees are too dense, why don't you put down the drone?" Seeing that he was struggling, Lao Cha persuaded him.

That's right, he hung another bag inside and outside his backpack, and stuffed the drone Nakhbet into it, adding a lot of extra burden.

Lao Cha made a lot of sense. Drones are far less useful in the forest than in the desert. It is difficult to even take off. If you do not pay attention to the operation, it will hit a tree, and then crash into scrap iron.

However, what if it can be used? So carry it on.

"Xinghai, don't run too far! Be careful not to get lost." He reminded aloud.

Xinghai ran around happily, rushing into the fog for a while, and rushing out from the other side suddenly.

"Meow~hide and seek~" Xinghai said excitedly, "It's really a good place to hide and seek!"

"Squeak." π didn't stay idle, and climbed flexibly among the branches.

Zhang Zian walked too slowly, and often had to avoid potholes on the ground, the elves would always stop and wait for him.

π doesn't dare to run around like Xinghai. When it waits, it climbs to the height of the tree.

"Squeak!"

As he walked, π climbed up a tree and disappeared into the mist. After a while, he climbed down again, dancing and pointing at it, as if he had discovered something strange.

"Pi, what's the matter?"

Zhang Zian leaned against the tree trunk and stopped to catch his breath. Every tree here was thicker than his body, most of it was hidden in the fog and he couldn't see clearly.

π can't describe what it sees with gestures, and there is no computer here to let it type.

"Go up and have a look."

Old Cha jumped up, grabbed the trunk nimbly, jumped up with a few swishes, and disappeared into the mist.

A few minutes later, the old tea reappeared and said: "It's strange, the bottom of this tree is fine, there are traces of fire in the middle, and the top is burnt like charcoal... This forest is so humid, how can it catch fire?" ?”

"Oh?"

Zhang Zian raised his head to think, and out of curiosity, other elves who could climb the tree climbed up to watch. After they got down, they all confirmed what Old Cha said.

"It's not an ordinary fire." He said: "It's a lightning strike. As the saying goes, if a tree is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it, but here, this sentence can only be changed to - a tree that is beautiful in the forest, lightning will strike it." "

Mahogany is the tallest tree species existing on the earth. The tallest tree is called "Hyberon", which is 115 meters high and has grown for more than 600 years. It is the tallest tree known to mankind. It is young and can continue to grow, but there may not be taller trees in this forest, because it is not easy to measure the height of trees. Due to the dense forest, lasers are not accurate enough. The real accurate measurement method is Climb to the top of the tree and drop the tape measure down.

Only a few people know the exact location of Hyperion God, in order to prevent curious tourists from flocking to bring disaster to this giant tree.

Trees that grow too tall can attract lightning strikes, which in turn can start wildfires. In Hongmu Forest Park, you can often see scorched marks on the fallen trees, which were struck by lightning.

As the old tea said, it is generally difficult to catch fire in such a humid forest, but lightning strikes are different. The high temperature at the moment of a lightning strike can ignite anything and evaporate water vapor. If a sudden wind blows away the fog, it will There may be a wildfire.

There are thousands of large and small wildfires in California every year. Except for a few human factors, most of them are caused by lightning strikes. Several volcanoes in 2017 and 2018 almost paralyzed California.

"Huh? Then we can't get close to the tree! If someone gets struck by lightning with an ugly face, even my uncle will suffer together!" Richard yelled.

Old Cha pondered and said: "I think that things that live too long tend to become ghosts, so they attract thunder from the sky. The so-called things that grow old become spirits, and the sky thunder strikes the demon."

Richard still wanted to chatter about something, but several cat elves suddenly moved their ears in unison, as if they heard something in the fog, and then, a mass of dark lightning rushed out of the fog, bringing With a shrill whistle, he rushed towards Richard from behind.

The black shadow moved so fast that Zhang Zian could only vaguely recognize that it was a strange-looking owl who mistook Richard for a big gray mouse.
