The ground looked like there were mythical giants walking past one after another not far away. The shock waves caused by the sound vibrations were extremely terrifying. Lucaline had completely fallen into a state of sensory weakness. To put it simply, she was...
I was stunned. I just threw myself into Geer's arms, hugged his strong body tightly, and felt his strong heartbeat, so I believed that I was still alive.
Geer also had a solemn expression on his face. Cold sweat broke out unconsciously on the palms of his hands that were holding on to the stakes, and his heart was beating violently. This kind of disaster caused by nature was simply not something he could resist now. The power from heaven and earth
His great power made him helplessly feel his own insignificance.
Click! Click!
This was not the sound of trees with shallow roots being uprooted, but a duller and more tragic sound. It was the sound of being torn apart from deep within the earth.
For a moment, Geer felt that everything in front of him turned gray, there was no sound, even the wind stopped, and he could hear nothing except his own heartbeat.
The scene in front of him was completely still, like a frozen world. Everything, including himself, had been frozen in an instant.
The bounced stones were frozen in the air, and the panicked horse remained frozen in place as it fell. Not far away, Iona was struggling to grasp her wooden stake, trying to fix her body...
Boom!
A loud roar and strong gust of wind drowned everything.
In an instant, the gray faded away.
After the loud noise, all sounds and scenes returned to their original state.
The stone continued to rise into the air, flying towards its original trajectory in a perfect parabola; the horse screamed in terror and was knocked to the ground by the irresistible force, and could only struggle on the ground; veins popped up in Iona's arms.
, firmly fixing the body to the wooden stake.
The world was turned upside down, and it was extremely terrifying.
Amid the violent shaking, Geer could only manage to control himself from being thrown away, and then he could only watch with wide eyes. He did not miss any detail. He wanted to capture all the scenes showing the power of nature.
Record it firmly and remind yourself that there are more terrifying forces in this world.
One, two...
From the moment the earthquake started, Geer started counting silently. When he counted to two hundred and fifty-seven, the shaking finally stopped.
The wind speed has also begun to slow down, but there will still be some violent gusts occasionally, but it is not a big problem anymore, at least shouting loudly can be transmitted.
"Iona, Dai, Clemmy, how are you doing?" Geer did not let go of the stake immediately, but shouted loudly in the direction of his companions, and shouted several times in succession.
After a while, Iona's voice came over: "Bah...bah...I'm fine..."
"I'm fine." From the other side, Clemmy's shout also came over: "It's okay for Ida, she just got hit in the mouth by a rock and can't speak now."
"It's okay. Everyone, stay put and be careful. There may be something else going on." Seeing that his friends were all fine, Geer felt relieved.
"Okay." "Got it."
After experiencing two less powerful aftershocks, Ger was convinced that it should be much safer now than before.
Slowly releasing the wooden stake, Geer said softly: "There should be no problem."
"Is everything okay?" Lucalin buried her head in Geer's heart and continued to hug Geer. It took her a while to react, and she said in a trembling voice that was still trembling.
"It's okay." Geer gave his adjutant confidence with an affirmative voice. Only when faced with an irresistible natural disaster, Lucaline seemed like a girl about the same age as Geer instead of a mature and experienced one.
Subordinate. "You take a rest first, and I'll go check on the others."
"Yeah, okay."
Geer stood up carefully, felt the ups and downs of the ground under his feet, and then trotted towards Iona who was closest to him.
"I'm fine." A somewhat gray-faced Iona stood up and patted the dust on her coat, looking very embarrassed.
Not far away, Clemmy also walked over supporting Dai.
Dai's condition looked a bit miserable. His mouth was swollen, his lips and chin were covered with shocking blood stains, and his clothes on his chest were stained red.
After Clemmy's introduction, Ger found out that Day was just unlucky. Two of his teeth were knocked out and the bleeding had stopped. With a little treatment, he would be fine.
Everyone gathered together again. It was the darkest moment before dawn, and movement within a few meters could barely be seen. The bonfire had been extinguished by the earthquake. Fortunately, there was nothing to burn in this open space.
Otherwise, it might cause a fire. After this earthquake, no one was sleepy, and walking around was not a good idea, so everyone sat together and waited for dawn.
The darkness before the light is the most difficult to endure, especially after such a natural disaster. Everyone's heart is a little heavy, they are not in the mood to talk, and the atmosphere is even more depressing.
But the darkness will eventually pass. When the first ray of sunshine in the morning shines over the treetops and onto the open space, a lot of the depression in everyone's hearts immediately dissipates.
As soon as there was light, Geer and his team immediately started busy. The first thing they had to do was to inspect the damage caused by the earthquake.
"The wheels of the carriage are broken and need to be replaced. One side of the carriage is cracked and needs to be repaired. The material loss is not big, but some pottery is broken. Two horses are found, which is only enough to pull the carriage..."
Looking at the potholes formed by the collapse of many trees in front of him, Geer listened to Clemmy on the side reporting the damage. The carriage that had rolled over on its side had been helped up, and the side that fell to the ground looked like
As if she had been hit by a heavy hammer, Ida had already found tools and started repairing. The scattered materials were collected and piled aside, and Luckarin and Iona were sorting them out.
"You should ride your horse and go ahead to take a look. I heard the sound of the ground cracking during the earthquake. We didn't hear it here. It might be somewhere else. I hope it won't affect our route."
Geer still remembered the cracking sound he heard during the earthquake. Although he did not see any big cracks, there was always some inexplicable worry that troubled him.
About three hours later, Geer's worries were confirmed - Clemmy, who was riding back and forth, brought him some bad news. Their original route was blocked by a huge crack that was at least ten meters wide.
It was cut off and extended laterally for a long time. Anyway, Clemmy spent about an hour running along the crack and couldn't see the end of the crack. It can be said that it was no longer feasible to continue moving forward.
"So we have to go back and take another road?"
"Yes, and we must go to Blossom Castle once, otherwise our supplies will not be enough to get us back to the last supply point." Clemmy nodded affirmatively.
Geer turned and looked in the direction he came from, which was where the ruins of Blossom Castle were.
