Chapter 50: Thunder

After eating the food, Twilight made some simple small traps at the entrance of the cave, mainly for warning, and then he shrank in the cave and rested well, although his perception became more and more powerful and keen, but who wants to sleep with his heart and guts all the time, always pay attention to the situation around him, and sleep unsteadily, with these small traps for warning, he can relax a little and not have to unfold his mental power to be vigilant when sleeping.

He stayed here for two days, until the tinnitus disappeared and the injuries to his back and internal organs were almost recovered, and he left the place and set off for the tower in the center of the island.

In the midst of the storm, Twilight Star clung to her poncho and walked carefully through the woods, her main focus on the mud beneath her feet.

Nearly ten days have passed, the dark clouds in the sky still do not show any signs of dispersing, the torrential rain is still falling, as if it is endless, and it is like the water of the heavenly river above the nine heavens, endlessly, the ground has become more and more unbearable, there are mud and pools everywhere, and if you don't pay attention to it between walking, you may fall into a mud pit.

Twilight Star had wondered why this island hadn't rained for half a year, and it stands to reason that the island should be rainy, especially looking at the ecological environment here, why shouldn't it have rained for so long, but now reality slapped him hard, telling him that it wasn't that it didn't rain, but that it didn't end.

In this kind of weather, even the dinosaurs that go out to hunt have become very few, at least Twilight Star has not encountered those dinosaurs for a while, and it is estimated that they are all frantically hunting for a few days before the rainstorm begins, and after completely filling their stomachs, they find a place to take refuge from the rain and go to sleep.

This also seems to indicate that such weather is actually the norm on this planet, because dinosaurs have become accustomed to it, and have even developed an instinct for such weather.

In such an environment, Twilight Star couldn't make a fire at all, so naturally he couldn't eat hot food, but fortunately, he had cooked a lot of food in that cave when he was about to set off, and if it was properly preserved, it would not be a problem to last for half a month, and there were all kinds of fruits in the forest to feed his stomach, which was completely enough, although these fruits had been destroyed a lot due to such bad weather, but they could still be found.

After a while, Twilight Star stepped out of the forest, and the tower was now in sight, and he immediately quickened his pace and walked over, where he could rest for a while, and although the wind was leaking everywhere, he could still take shelter from the rain.

Twilight walked briskly into the tower, took off his poncho, rubbed his palms, and then unleashed the power of light with both hands, and as he adjusted, the light gradually warmed up, and warmer and warmer, driving the temperature of an area near him up.

Feeling a lot warmer around him, Twilight let out a long breath, and then he walked up the stone staircase in the middle of the hall, he was going to rest for a while before going to the top of the tower to put the key, but when he arrived, looking at the magnificent tower, he couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart.

After all, it took so much time to bother with these four keys, and now it's time to see what you've gained.

Twilight walked up the glorious staircase to the top of the tower, and even though the clouds were now covered and the sky was gray, the walls still shone with the faint light, but the fly in the ointment of the staircase was the rain that kept flowing down the stone staircase.

Because the top floor of this place didn't do anything to drain the water at all, a lot of rainwater was poured into this place, and then it flowed down the stone staircase, but Twilight had seen it when he first came, and the hall below was dry, and it was estimated that this stone staircase had some drainage design, so it didn't let the rain flow into the hall.

After making his way to the top of the tower, Twilight Star didn't put on a poncho on himself, but walked straight out, the poncho was so disruptive that if something happened to him, it would be very much in the way.

As soon as he walked into the rain, the dense rain curtain instantly completely wet him, he looked around, confirmed the direction and walked to the platforms located in the four directions, one by one the keys were pressed in, the east one he had already done before, and now there is still the four directions in the southwest, north and south, and when each key is pressed in, there will be a sound of a mechanism at the top of the tower.

As Twilight placed the last pentagonal key into the notch, and pressed it down hard, the key was completely sunk in, fitting perfectly into the surrounding materials without any gaps, and at the same time, there was a dull sound of mechanism, but this time there was much more to the movement.

The dull sound of the mechanism at the top of the tower continued, and the stone platform in front of him, which had been used to place the key, suddenly caved into it, revealing a small hole to hide from the rain, and the layout around the hole also isolated the rain from the outside world.

Under the gaze of Twilightstar, a hole suddenly opened on the one-meter-high pillar in the center of the platform at the top of the tower, and in his slightly expectant eyes, what rose from the hole was not the sign he had always wanted to see, but a long metal strip like an antenna, about ten centimeters thick, and it rose higher and higher, and in the blink of an eye, it was almost ten meters high.

"Wait, antennas? Metallic? ”

Twilight's eyes widened in horror suddenly, looking at the metal bar sticking out of the cylinder in the center, and then at the current weather, he had a bad premonition in his heart, such weather, combined with this thing, isn't this a lightning rod?

He didn't have time to think about anything more, so he quickly burrowed into the exposed space on the stone platform in front of him to hide from the rain.

The space was bigger than it looked, and Twilight didn't feel uncomfortable hiding in it, except that she couldn't stretch her hands and feet, and because of the waterproof design, Twilight didn't have to get in the rain all the time.

However, the appearance of this reserved safe space also made Twilight more certain of the role of the metal bar.

A flash of lightning suddenly flashed in the dim sky, flashing a bright white between the heavens and the earth, and then the rumbling thunder continued to explode, the thunder did not stop, and it was a flash of lightning, and a white ribbon appeared in the sky, and a thunderbolt continued to fall from the sky, splitting between the mountains and trees, and some of the closer thunderbolts were attracted by this lightning rod to change the local electric field.

Thunderbolts and lightning struck the lightning rods with lightning and thunder, and some scattered electricity splashed around the top of the tower, flashing arcs of electricity, and even many of them had already splashed onto the ground in front of Twilight, even from a distance, he could feel the pain and paralysis on his skin as if he had been pricked by a needle.

Fortunately, he is waterproof here, and the entrance is relatively high, so he needs to climb over the wall to get in, so there is no need to worry about water flowing in, otherwise in this heavy rain, a thunderbolt will strike, and the current transmitted through the water flow is not something that the current Twilight Star can bear.
