Cao Rui and Zhou Cheng drove through the middle of the highway with marching troops on both sides. They didn't drive very far before turning through the gap in the guardrail and onto the rugged mountain road. Under the guidance of the radio, they quickly

The scout reporting the situation was found on the reverse slope of a small hill.

Two soldiers were lying on the hillock, with half of their heads exposed, observing the situation ahead, as if the front was a raging battlefield. Cao Rui and Zhou Cheng were also prostrate in front of the hillock like soldiers, and the leading non-commissioned officer handed them

Got the telescope:

"Look, it's right in front! It's forming, exactly like those thunderclouds in the distance!"

Cao Rui poked his head out from the hillock, and the strong wind carrying fine sand immediately blew against his scarred face like a brush. He rubbed his eyes and looked ahead, only to see a mountain col not far away, pressing down on it.

The huge black cloud column coming from above was slowly descending from the cloud cover high in the sky.

Under the dark yellow sky, the towering Cloud Pillar is like a skyscraper being slowly lowered from the sky. Although Cao Rui and Zhou Cheng are located a few blocks away from the Cloud Pillar, they feel like

Mount Tai was crashing down on their heads.

Several rays of light flashed across the middle of the cloud pillar, and with the help of bursts of light like camera flashes, they saw that the huge cloud pillar was actually composed of countless ink-like black clouds, twisting and rotating.

"This looks a bit like the tornado on TV!" Cao Rui said to Zhou Cheng beside him, his throat pulled in the hunting wind.

Zhou Cheng shook his head while holding his dusty glasses, and pointed to the top of his head:

"It's not like that. I saw tornadoes when I was doing scientific research in the United States. The cloud cover of the tornado was very wide. Look at this..."

Looking up, the cloud cover above their heads just reached the top of their heads and did not spread to the surrounding areas. Although they were under it and could not see how high the cloud cover above their heads was, they had seen thunder in the distance before when they were in the service area.

Clouds, the height of the cloud cover is several times higher than the cloud pillar.

Thinking of this, both of them couldn't help but get goosebumps.

"There may be danger here! You two should retreat first! We will guard here!" the sergeant shouted.

Zhou Cheng and Cao Rui looked at each other, and Zhou Cheng continued to look at the cloud pillar that was still sinking slowly in front of him. Cao Rui said to the sergeant:

"It's far enough away, no problem, don't worry!"

In fact, they all know in their hearts that with this magical ability that can easily control the power of nature, if the enemy wants to kill them, it will be easy and it will be useless for them to escape.

At this moment, the wind and sand that brushed people's faces stopped suddenly, and the whole world suddenly became quiet. The rotating cloud pillar also stopped sinking and hung several hundred meters in the air.

A scorching bolt of lightning struck straight from the bottom of the cloud pillar to the mountain col below. Several people behind the hill quickly hid their heads to avoid it. In addition to the strong light that makes people unable to open their eyes, in people's minds, such lightning often immediately

Accompanied by earth-shattering thunder.

Several people blocked their ears and tensed up for a while. The expected deafening thunder did not come, but instead they heard a "whoosh" sound like a thin stick waving in the air.

When several people opened their ears, the sound immediately became thicker, but not loud. And they soon discovered that with every sound, the world in front of them seemed to be illuminated by a huge flashlight in the sky.

Cao Rui took out the sunglasses from his pocket and put them on, and looked around. He saw streaks of lightning striking towards the mountain col below the clouds. He raised his hand to cover the spot where the lightning passed in his sight, and looked intently as if he had been struck by lightning.

Looking at the ground, I could see red-hot stones flying like fireworks in bursts of strong light.

Even though he was wearing sunglasses and covering the main light source of the lightning with his hands, Cao Rui soon became temporarily blind. He retreated behind the hill and rubbed his eyes vigorously. Zhou Cheng beside him asked anxiously:

"Old Cao, what's wrong with you?"

"If you stare at the bright light for a long time, you will be fine soon." Cao Rui replied.

Zhou Cheng took out a small piece of cloth and handed it to him:

"What's happening with this lightning? Can you see clearly?"

Cao Rui took the piece of cloth and gently touched his eyes:

"The ground, the ground of Lightning Thunder Mountain Col."

Zhou Cheng was puzzled:

"ground?"

Cao Rui nodded, and the dazzling light spots in front of his eyes also dissipated a lot:

"The lightning is too strong and I can't see clearly. I'll see when the lightning ends!"

A few people could only lie down on the reverse slope of the hill like soldiers hiding from artillery fire in the trenches. They watched the world around them being illuminated as brightly as daylight faster and faster with the sound of "swish". Not too much.

After a while, the lightning frequency became faster and faster, and before the curtain of darkness completely enveloped the world, it was dispersed by the strong light again.

The lightning finally stopped, and when a few people cautiously leaned out from behind the hillock, the sky was completely dark. Only the vague crescent moon and a few sparse visible stars could be seen in Tianshan. The world in front of them was already hidden in the darkness. With the help of distant mountains, they

It was only when the light of lightning struck the hill that I discovered that the cloud pillar had disappeared.

Cao Rui and Zhou Cheng relied on the faint starlight and the electric light that appeared in the distance from time to time, and groped their way to the mountain col below the cloud pillar. When they rolled and climbed to a cliff on the mountain col, accompanied by smoke,

The irritating smell in front of their eyes and the scene in front of them made the two people, who were sweating hotly, feel cold all over.

A crack appeared on the steep mountain col, like a crack cut by the giant god Pangu with a mountain-breaking ax. This crack was tens of meters long and wide enough for a person to fall. Around the crack were densely scattered countless bodies that had not lost their residual warmth.

The red stones are like blood splattering from a wound.

The bottomless crack was glowing with a blue-purple halo, resembling a wound with fresh blood. Cao Rui picked up the stone next to him and threw it into the crack. He only heard the stone bouncing in the crack.

The "bang bang" sound became smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared.

"This crack must be hundreds of meters deep!" As soon as Zhou Cheng finished speaking, the vigorous autumn wind from the Loess Plateau in the valley blew against his face with a pungent smell and a faint residual warmth.

Cao Rui closed his mouth, sniffed a few times, and said:

"It smells like burning coal!"

Zhou Cheng was shocked:

"They... they ignited underground coal seams?"

Cao Rui stood up, looked around, then pointed in a direction and said to Zhou Cheng.

"Look over there!"

Zhou Cheng also stood up and looked in the direction Cao Rui pointed, but he only saw a few flashes of lightning in the distance and numerous mountain shadows reflected by the lightning. Cao Rui used his palms to block the corners of Zhou Cheng's eyes.

There was no more dazzling lightning in the field of vision.

Gradually, Zhou Cheng saw countless lines glowing with reddish light appearing on the continuous mountain silhouette. It was like the sealing runes written by the ancient gods on the mountains, because the demons awakening underground were exuding oozing blood.

The red light of man.

The fire spitting out of the crack revealed the figures of Cao Rui and others on the edge of the cliff, and the vast mountains in front of them were disappearing and appearing due to the flashing lightning everywhere.
