"Hoo!"
"I never expected this lightning-struck wood to be used for this purpose... as a lightning rod..."
"Although the method of lightning avoidance is a bit peculiar... instead of diverting the lightning elsewhere, it directly repelled it..."
Ye Feng let out a sigh of relief, looking at the lightning-struck wood suspended near the broken car window, and muttered to himself.
At this moment, Xiao Xiao also looked much more relaxed.
Following this, Xiao Xiao continued to drive the Hummer forward through a large amount of lightning strikes, ball lightning, and碎石.
Meanwhile, Ye Feng stood guard by the broken car window, carefully watching the lightning-struck wood repeatedly deflect the ball lightning that tried to jump in.
He didn't want the lightning-struck wood to be blown away by the wind, of course, and he also blocked many pieces of flying碎石...
...
As the sun began to set,
The Hummer carrying Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao finally drove out of the thunderous storm area. The Hummer was now covered in dents and its glass had many more cracks...
"This afternoon was really dangerous. Fortunately, we managed to pass through this thunderous storm area!"
Xiao Xiao got out of the car, looking at the battered Hummer, and said with lingering fear.
"It seems... it wasn't us who passed through this thunderous storm area... but rather the storm stopped... or the thunderous storm area moved elsewhere..." Ye Feng looked at the dissipating thunderclouds behind them and said slowly.
"Is that so~"
Xiao Xiao's small eyebrows furrowed, seeming a little confused.
"Never mind that, let's find a place to rest!"
"Okay~"
...
The next day,
Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao did not continue their journey but rested in place, as the condition of their important means of transportation, the Hummer, was not optimistic.
"Bang~ bang bang~"
The sound of hammering, prying, and cleaning glass and debris echoed from the scene.
"This is really troublesome~"
After some cleaning, Ye Feng found that the windows of the Hummer were all cracked to varying degrees, and he had no replacements.
"Brother, the road ahead seems a bit off... there's nothing marked on the treasure map..."
"That location, and that location... there are no mountains... we've gone off course..."
At this moment, Xiao Xiao, who had been observing from a large tree, jumped down and pointed into the distance, speaking.
Because the treasure map only appeared under the starlight at night, Xiao Xiao had drawn a copy of the map that appeared under the starlight for daytime travel use...
"Remember that sudden heavy rain and the resulting landslide and mudslide we encountered earlier... there might have been mountains there before, but they're gone now due to the sudden situation today..."
Ye Feng replied after observing with binoculars, "Let's rest for the day and see the treasure map tonight..."
"Okay~!"
...
In the evening,
After a hearty dinner,
Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao lay on the roof of the camouflaged Hummer, enjoying the sunset while waiting for nightfall.
As darkness gradually descended, the starlight began to appear in the sky. Ye Feng quickly took out the Fire Seed Record and the Soul Capturer's Secret Record to form the treasure map.
Under the starlight, the treasure map once again displayed a three-dimensional pattern. Xiao Xiao took out paper and pen, about to draw the pattern, but was stopped by Ye Feng...
"Xiao Xiao, let's travel at night. We'll draw it when the starlight weakens, otherwise, the map will keep changing, and it will be troublesome to draw!"
Under Xiao Xiao's confused gaze, Ye Feng explained.
"Oh, okay~"
Soon, Ye Feng started the Hummer and drove forward, but without turning on the headlights.
...
The next day,
As dawn broke, the Hummer, which had been driving all night, finally stopped.
"Staying up all night really doesn't suit me~"
Ye Feng yawned, feeling a little frustrated.
After driving all night, although he hadn't encountered any particularly troublesome battles, he was still extremely sleepy.
Beside him, Xiao Xiao had fallen sound asleep after drawing the three-dimensional treasure map before the starlight faded, and was now sleeping soundly...
"So sleepy~"
Ye Feng yawned again, quickly finished a meat floss bun, reclined his seat, and also fell asleep...
...
At noon,
"Look, boss, there's an abandoned Hummer ahead. Let's go up and search it for any usable supplies!"
"Damn it, in this godforsaken place, we haven't found a treasure chest in a long time!"
"Let's go, let's go up and look!"
...
Ye Feng was sleeping when he suddenly heard some noisy voices that seemed to be not far from him.
"Boss, what's wrong?"
"Nothing, I just feel that Hummer looks familiar, like I've seen it somewhere before..."
"Shotgun Boss, all Hummers look the same..."
...
Several male voices, very close and filled with impatience, sounded. Ye Feng sat up with a frown and looked out the car window to the left of the driver's seat.
"Ah!~"
"Holy crap!"
"Someone's here!"
The men who had first reached the Hummer and were about to search for supplies were startled by Ye Feng, who suddenly sat up. They quickly retreated, drawing their guns.
At this moment, an old man next to the burly shotgun-wielding man spoke, "That young man just now, that gaze... that's a gaze only top experts possess... In his eyes, your guns are no different from firewood..."
...
