Pet King

At first, the new Elfin left San Francisco and ran North, which happened to coincide with Zhang Zian's route. He happily thought that this was a good thing to kill three birds with one stone. Anyway, he was going to the mahogany forest to find a venison slaughterhouse, as well as Peter Lee's suspicious organization. But when it plunged into the misty forest, it became extremely difficult to even approach it, let alone capture it. The good thing became unpredictable.

The game's difficulty of capturing it was "high," but that was the difficulty in San Francisco. The dense primitive forest and the fog that didn't dissipate even during the day had probably made the difficulty of capturing it "extremely high."

It was fine if they couldn't catch it, but it didn't disappear. It was like a Candle in the Dark, attracting countless moths.

However, Zhang Zian was already riding a Tiger. If he backed out now, it would make Mrs. Miller, who had finally caught a glimmer of hope, heartbroken. It would make the problem of Leshi dog food continue to worsen, and Peter Lee and the others would deceive more people. He could only force himself into the forest now.

Would someone else be attracted here?

It was like the popular big escape game, where people were blindfolded and thrown into an unfamiliar forest to see who could survive or win the Holy Grail.

Fortunately, the forest was big enough, the fog was thick enough, and he was well prepared. Now, he only hoped that the place this elf wanted to go and the thing she wanted to find was not the same as him, or it would be troublesome.

Vladimir clenched his fist and said heroically,""There's good wine when friends come. There's a hunting rifle when wolves come!"

Old time tea looked up and said,"the fog today doesn't seem to be dissipating."

"Well, I hope they don't leave too early." Zhang Zian wiped his sweat."Famous, is Mike's smell still there?"

"It's still here. "

Famous rushed in front and sniffed around. After three days, Mike's smell was still very clear. In its eyes, his smell was like a road woven by several colors, winding into the depths of the forest. Sometimes he would spit on the ground, which had not evaporated in the extremely humid forest. It was like a traffic sign on the road, which could not be missed.

"Alright, if you smell the fresh scent left behind by the others, let me know." Zhang Zian said.

Famous heard their conversation and understood the necessity and seriousness of the matter. It nodded in agreement and focused more on the smell.

"Zian, the fog is so thick, and the trees are too dense. Why don't you put down the drone?" Old time tea saw that he was struggling and tried to persuade him.

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

Old time tea was right. The drone was not as useful in the forest as in the desert. It was difficult to take off, and it could hit a tree and crash into scrap iron if it was not careful.

However, what if it could be used? So, it was better to carry it.

"Galaxy, don't go too far! Be careful not to get lost. " He warned.

Galaxy was running around happily, sometimes rushing into the fog, and sometimes suddenly rushing out from the other side.

"Meow, hide-and-seek," Galaxy said excitedly. "It's really a good place to play hide-and-seek!"

"Squeak squeak." Pi wasn't idle either. It climbed nimbly between the branches.

Zhang Zian walked too slowly, and he often had to bypass the potholes on the ground, so the Elfins had to stop and wait for him.

Pi didn't dare to run around like Galaxy. While it was waiting, it climbed up the tree.

"Squeak!"

As they walked, Pi climbed to the top of a tree and disappeared into the fog. After a while, it climbed down again, waving its hands and legs, gesturing at the top, as if it had found something strange.

"Pi, what's wrong?"

Zhang Zian leaned against the trunk and stopped to catch his breath. Every tree here was thicker than his body, and most of them were hidden in the fog.

Pi couldn't describe what it saw with hand gestures, and there was no computer here for it to type.

"I'll go up and take a look. "

Old time tea jumped up, grabbed the tree trunk, jumped up, and disappeared into the fog.

A few minutes later, old time tea reappeared and said,""How strange. The base of this tree is perfectly fine, but there are signs of overfire in the middle. The top of the tree is as though it has been burnt to a crisp ... This forest is abnormally humid, so how could it have caught fire?"

"Oh?"

Zhang Zian raised his head and thought about it. The other Elfins climbed up the trees out of curiosity. When they came down, they all confirmed old time tea's words.

"It's not an ordinary fire. " "It's a lightning strike,"he said. As the saying goes, the most outstanding tree in the forest will be destroyed by the wind, but here, this saying can only be changed to the most outstanding tree in the forest, struck by lightning. "

Mahogany was the tallest tree species on earth. The tallest tree was called the "Haibo Dragon God." It was 115 meters tall and had grown for more than 600 years. It was the tallest tree known to humans. It was still young and could continue to grow, but there might be taller trees in this forest because it was not easy to measure the height of trees. Due to the dense forest, lasers were not very accurate. The most accurate way of measuring was to climb to the top of the tree and throw a measuring tape down.

Only a few people knew the exact location of the Haibo Dragon God. This was to prevent curious tourists from flooding in and bringing disaster to this giant tree.

If a tree grew too high, it could attract lightning, and lightning could cause a Mountain Fire. In the mahogany forest Park, one could often see burnt marks on the fallen trees, which were caused by lightning.

As old time tea had said, it was difficult to catch fire in such a humid forest, but a lightning strike was different. The high temperature of a lightning strike could ignite anything and evaporate the water vapor. If there was a sudden wind that blew away the fog, it could start a Mountain Fire.

There were thousands of mountain fires of all sizes in California every year. Except for a few man-made factors, most of them were caused by lightning strikes. Several volcanos in 2017 and 2018 almost burned down California.

"Gah? Then we can't get close to the tree! If someone with an ugly face gets struck by lightning, I'll be implicated too!" Richard said noisily.

Old time tea pondered."I think that things that live too long will often become spirits. That's why they attract Heavenly Thunder. As the saying goes, things become spirits when they age. Heavenly Thunder strikes demons."

Richard still wanted to say something, but the cat-type elves suddenly twitched their ears as if they heard something in the fog. Then, a dark lightning bolt rushed out of the fog and pounced on Richard from behind with a shrill cry.

The black shadow moved so fast that Zhang Zian could only vaguely recognize that it was a strange-looking owl, which had mistaken Richard for a big gray rat.
