Xu Xin also looked out the window.
It was a little after six in the morning. Normally, the sun would have already shone into the house, but it was very gloomy outside, giving the impression of a completely cloudy day.
Xu Xin got up from the bed and looked outside. The sky was pitch black. Gray-black clouds were connected together and extended to the horizon. They were extremely thick and huge, covering the entire sky.
Each dark cloud seemed like a mountain standing in the sky, hanging in the air like the Five Finger Mountain of Buddha. This oppressive feeling made Xu Xin's breathing become heavy.
The thunderclouds were so low that they seemed very close to him!
Although it was dark outside and the sky was covered with dark clouds, it was not raining at this time. The air just became very humid, and there was a very uncomfortable feeling of dampness when breathing. The air around seemed to become sticky.
Xu Xin found that the quilt he had just changed yesterday now felt wet.
"This is a bit uncomfortable." Xu Xin felt his body was wet and now he just wanted to take a shower.
When I pushed open the bedroom door, Yin Wang and Mimi had already woken up. They were probably woken up by the deafening thunder just now.
Suddenly, there was a flash of light outside the window, and an extremely thick lightning streaked across the sky. Just as Xu Xin's face changed and he wanted to cover his ears, the deafening thunder sounded again, instantly clearing his head, which had just woken up and was still a little confused.
"Is the lightning so close?" Xu Xin was surprised.
The lightning outside just now was very close to him, almost striking right in front of his eyes. The huge and thick lightning was extremely spectacular. Although it was only for a moment, it lingered in Xu Xin's mind.
Perhaps vision deceives him, but hearing does not.
From the time he saw the white light to the time he heard the thunder, the interval between them was only one second, or even less. According to the speed of sound, the lightning was only more than three hundred meters away from him!
You know, thunder comes from the clouds, which means the distance between the dark clouds above and the tree house is no more than 300 meters! That's too low!
Generally, cumulonimbus clouds are also very low, as low as about 600 meters, but 300 meters is really a bit too much. Such low clouds are too oppressive, and people even feel that they will fall directly!
Moreover, the thunder was so loud that it made his head buzz.
Another flash of lightning flashed by, and Xu Xin subconsciously covered his ears.
This time Xu Xin counted down consciously, but after just one second, the deafening thunder sounded again, shaking the entire jungle into chaos, and countless animals fled in panic.
"Thunder without rain?"
That's right, although the gray-black thunderclouds in the sky were very thick, the surrounding air was very humid, and thunder had already sounded twice, there was still not a single raindrop falling.
Another flash of lightning flashed across the sky. This time, before Xu Xin could react, a loud bang suddenly came from above his tree house, followed by thunder.
What’s going on?!
Xu Xin felt like he had run to the top floor. Through the glass on the ceiling, he could see some electric arcs swirling around the lightning rod he had placed on the top floor. After a few seconds, the arcs slowly disappeared.
The lightning rod absorbed the lightning!
His tree house was struck by lightning!
In the next two minutes, five more bolts of lightning struck, three of which hit the lightning rod.
This black lightning rod made of black gold was now surrounded by arcs of electricity. After absorbing the lightning, the black needle body emitted a faint white light. As the number of lightning strikes increased, the light on the black gold lightning rod became brighter and brighter.
"This is charging?" Xu Xin understood. The lightning rod could provide electricity to the tree house, and the bright light on it probably represented the amount of power.
As for why most of the lightning struck his tree house, this is easy to explain, because his tree house is the tallest tree in the area, and there is also a lightning rod that can attract lightning, so it is difficult for the lightning not to strike him.
Xu Xin suddenly remembered that in the last event, the reward for returning participants was to raise the tree house by one floor.
Even a low tree house, after being raised by one floor, will become one of the tallest trees in the jungle, and it is likely to be targeted by lightning!
My goodness, even the rewards for the event are full of traps!
Moreover, most of the [Explorers] have more advanced tree houses. Even if this floor is not added, it will probably attract lightning!
