The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Chapter 275 Purple Night Grassland
"what?"

Have you ever heard of the Purple Night Grassland?

Moran said, "At the northernmost edge of the northern grasslands, there is a perpetually green field with fertile soil and abundant water and grass. No matter how many cattle and sheep graze on it, the grassland can be restored to its original state in just one night."

Orcs dared not easily set foot in such a place.

Because every night, the sky here fills with water and lightning elemental energy, causing incessant rain and thunder, turning the sky purple, hence the name Purple Night Grassland.

As if to confirm her words, a bolt of lightning ripped through the sky, followed by a deafening clap of thunder.

"Quick! Get down the slope and use the Earth-Turning Technique to dig! The shelter must be dug before dark!"

As Moran shouted, he ran down the slope, used his Earth-Turning spell to dig out the soil and pile it up to one side.

Vasita didn't understand why she had to do this, but she knew that Moran had read a lot of books and knew a lot, so doing what she said would be the right thing to do.

He also used the earth-turning technique to dig caves with her.

After the wilderness survival course, Sylph regretted for the second time that she hadn't learned more magic.

She doesn't know how to till the soil and can't help.

They could only use planting magic to command hoes, shovels, and other farming tools to help move the soil that Moran and the others had turned over to a slightly farther place.

As Moran was digging, her hand suddenly went numb. She looked down and saw a raindrop the size of a peanut falling from the ground.

She immediately felt the hairs on her body stand on end, and instinctively reached out with her left hand to pull Sylph and with her right hand to push Vasita away:
"It's too late! Everyone get inside the cave!"

At this point, the cave on the hillside was barely three or four square meters inside, and the highest point was only one and a half meters. After the three of them squeezed in, it was difficult for them to even stand up, so they had to squat down.

Like three small mushrooms growing huddled together in a small burrow.

Moran was the last to enter the cave, and she immediately cast an earth wall spell at the entrance behind her.

An earthen wall just blocked the entrance to the hole, leaving only a small hole about the size of a bowl.

For this small hole, she even used her petrification technique to mold a small stone into a wire mesh and plug the hole.

When placing the barbed wire, she didn't even dare to hold it with her hands. Instead, she used levitation to float over and let it get stuck at the entrance of the hole.

After doing all this, Moran finally breathed a slight sigh of relief: "Alright, we're safe for now."

Vasita and Sylph carefully moved their feet, turned around, and faced Moran.

The three heads huddled together, whispering secrets.

"Molan, why do we need to dig a hole and hide?"

Is it dangerous outside right now?

Both Vasita and Sylph's voices were tinged with caution.

The main reason was that Moran seemed too nervous and anxious just now, which made them feel uneasy even though they didn't know where the danger was.

“Extremely dangerous!” Moran said, looking at the hole in the earthen wall. “Look there.”

Vasita and Sylph craned their necks to look over.

Through the dark barbed wire fence, the sky outside the cave, which should have been dark, appeared an ominous purplish-black, with intermittent rain and occasional claps of thunder.

"Rain?" Vasita asked doubtfully. "Could this rain be poisonous? Or is there something wrong with the rainwater?"

Otherwise, they wouldn't be in such a hurry to hide!

"It can't be lightning, right? But the thunder sounds quite far away. It's just that the sky looks a bit off; it looks a lot like the Purple Night Grassland you mentioned."

Even so, you don't necessarily have to dig a hole to avoid rain and lightning! The tent is quite sturdy! Sylph was also puzzled.

Moran shook his head: "Listen carefully! Is the rain getting quieter? Is the thunder getting more frequent?" Vasita and Sylph listened intently to the sounds outside the cave: "It seems so!"

Moran said with a hint of lingering fear:
"I am now certain that the Green Grassland is a place similar to the Purple Night Grassland."

As night fell, the water and lightning elemental forces increased.

Initially, the water elemental power increased faster than the lightning elemental power, resulting in less thunder and more rain.

The growth of water elemental power is getting slower and slower, while the growth of lightning elemental power is getting faster and faster.

The rain became finer and finer, the sound of the rain grew fainter, but the thunder and lightning became more frequent.

When the water and lightning elemental forces reach a balance, there will be a fine, continuous rain and mist, interspersed with frequent thunder.

Water, however, can conduct electricity.

The element of water has a stronger guiding effect on lightning.

In the continuous, fine rain and mist, the water element was abundant, and the entire area was connected, transforming into a huge electric grid that could guide lightning.

Anything above ground level has a very high chance of being struck by lightning.

"Just being exposed to rain or fog will result in an electric shock..."

Vasita and Sylph shuddered at the thought of the scene, and belatedly felt a sense of relief, as if they had escaped a disaster.

They know what it feels like to be electrocuted.

In their second-year introductory class on all magic types, when learning the lightning-based signature spell, Electric Net, Ms. Amisa had them cast spells on each other to experience what it felt like to be electrocuted.

Even a tiny bit of lightning was enough to make them tremble uncontrollably, instantly interrupting their spellcasting.

Furthermore, Moran had even tried it, and found that even the strongest metal-based defensive magic couldn't completely defend against lightning-based magic attacks.

Even Vasida, who could continue to recover as long as she wasn't hungry, didn't dare to imagine what it would be like to be electrocuted outside all night.

It's absolutely impossible to withstand.

"Is it really safe for us to hide here? Should we completely seal up the hole? What if the rain and fog come in through the hole and bring in the electricity?"

Vasita and Sylph were even more nervous than Moran at this moment.

Although their lives were not in danger, the punishment for seeking help from the dean was no better than a threat to their lives!
This is only their first day in the inner area!

"Don't worry! Hiding underground, with such a vast earth, the electricity will spread out, and you'll hardly feel it."

There's no need to worry about rain or fog bringing in electricity. Metal can conduct electricity, and the wire mesh at the opening can conduct the electricity from the rain or fog into the earthen wall, acting as a filter.

It seems to have been useful indeed.

Moran gestured for them to look at the barbed wire again.

At this moment, faint arcs of electricity were already appearing on the barbed wire, and the two inside the cave did not feel any discomfort, so Vasita and Sylph relaxed.

After relaxing, I was filled with admiration for Moran, who made such a correct judgment in such an emergency.

Moran suddenly felt a warmth on her back and a weight on her shoulders.

A round, black head appeared on his left shoulder.

A dark green braid hung down from her right shoulder.

The black-headed boy trembled, "Ugh, that was terrifying! Thank goodness you were here!"

Her owner held the dark green braid in his hand, tilting his head, his emerald green eyes staring at her with admiration and curiosity:
"Moran, you really know so much! You seem to know everything! Is all of this written in books?"
