I created the myth of the Great Old Ones.

On the contrary, it is precisely in this dangerous situation that He is more pleased to see, and even enjoys, the thrill of licking blood from the edge of a knife.

Therefore, Lu Ban has the opportunity to come into contact with certain secrets in this world, and if things go wrong, he can just flip the table.

However, the immediate concern is the impact of the typhoon.

Once a typhoon forms, the wind speed increases continuously, and the speed of movement also increases. What was originally just a patch of dark clouds on the horizon now occupies a third of the sky.

Lu Ban saw a huge, visible vortex swirling in the air, with bright lightning flashing through it, making it look gloomy and terrifying. The wind picked up on the road, causing the parasols to sway, and many leaflets flew into the sky and drifted towards the sea.

bang-

The island became noisy with the sounds of things falling and the banging of open windows.

The cashier at the convenience store next door yawned as he came out to check the situation. He was immediately shocked by the mess outside and hurriedly went back into the store to close the other window tightly.

Ding--

The tablet beeped again, and Lu Ban quickly glanced at it.

The warning above indicates that the typhoon's current intensity has exceeded level 18, but the actual strength is clearly much higher.

Some typhoons are classified as having a force 18 rating because they only have a force 18 rating, while others are classified as having a force 18 rating simply because they only have a force 18 rating.

The storm in front of us, which has only been forming for a dozen minutes, has already become a super typhoon.

And this typhoon is about to make a direct hit on the island.

Lu Ban felt the sky getting darker.

It was as if night had fallen once again.

Chapter 940 Eye of the Storm

As an island in the South Pacific, there are no measures to deal with typhoons here, since theoretically, this place will never encounter a typhoon in its lifetime.

Therefore, when the extreme winds arrived, the buildings on the island shook.

The sounds of things falling off shelves rose and fell, but even more frequent were the loud crashes of signs being blown off the roof.

The higher you go, the faster the wind speed.

bang-

An advertising billboard was blown into the sky, and the sign, which could have killed one or two people, was spun around like a piece of paper and torn to pieces by the gale.

Almost instantly, the sky in Lu Ban's field of vision was taken over by the typhoon.

The rolling thunder made the windowpanes tremble slightly, and the lightning that appeared and disappeared among the dark clouds seemed as if it would strike the earth at any moment, arousing fear.

clap clap-

Some windows and doors that were not properly closed made a loud banging sound as the wind blew them down. At this moment, raindrops fell, and within seconds, it turned into a torrential downpour, merging the sky and the sea into one.

The wind is still picking up.

Near the island, ships preparing to return to port were tossed about by the waves. Waves surged one after another, gradually rising higher and higher. Soon, the waves were higher than the tops of the ships. Some small boats were capsized by the waves and cried for help in the murky water. Larger ships tried to stay afloat in the continuous, mountain-like waves, but the sea did not give them such a chance. The relentless wind overturned them and rushed them toward the port.

bang——

The massive ship crashed into the harbor pier. The heavy metal struck the concrete structure, causing severe deformation. The fishermen inside were thrown out and washed ashore by the waves.

The wind is picking up speed.

The tablet computer beeped again. Lu Ban saw that the text in the alert message was incomplete, indicating that the signal had been affected and the island had completely lost contact with the outside world.

"what is that?"

Sia gave a reminder, pointing to the air.

Lu Ban looked up following Xi Ya's finger.

High in the sky, a dark shadow drifted with the current, circling in a huge circle as the gale swept through.

Lu Ban examined it closely and realized that it was actually a small plane.

The strong winds had reached the vicinity of the airport, and most of the light, small planes used to shuttle between islands had already been blown directly into the sky, spinning and merging into the storm.

This is theoretically almost impossible, but ultimately it is simply something that has not yet been seen in human history.

In ancient times, when humans were still apes, and even the ancestors of these apes were just rodents in the forest, there were rainy seasons that lasted for millions of years on the wild land. The storms at that time were far larger than they are now, gathering, growing, and sweeping across everything on the vast sea.

Now, this storm seems to have traveled through time to the modern era.

Normal typhoons weaken rapidly after making landfall, bringing wind and rain, eventually becoming tropical storms and dissipating without a trace.

Faced with a storm of this magnitude, the island was nothing more than a small reef, unable to mitigate its impact in the slightest.

The distant waves were towering, and most of the buildings along the coast had been destroyed by the waves. The sky darkened, and the rain was like a wall, isolating the whole world.

Lu Ban saw that the small plane seemed to have finally broken free from the strong winds. It lost the strength to continue supporting itself in mid-air and flew towards Lu Ban's location.

"!!!"

Lu Ban hurriedly grabbed Amber and ran towards the convenience store.

bang——

With a deafening roar, the plane struck the second floor of a building across the street. The immense impact ripped off the ceiling, and before the residents could react, they were swept away by the storm and sent flying high into the sky, their screams becoming muffled.

Lu Ban and his group fled into the convenience store. At this point, using an umbrella was pointless, as rain would blow from all directions, and there was even the possibility of being attacked by stones, ship debris, and various unidentified objects.

"Damn! What kind of rain is this?!"

The convenience store clerk cursed aloud; the noise outside was too terrifying. He could only cover his ears and crouch behind the checkout counter, hoping to weather the typhoon.

The noise outside grew louder and louder, and Lu Ban sensed something was wrong. He told Amber and Xia to hide under the checkout counter, while he immediately went to the shelf area, picked up two flashlights, and put batteries in them.

The continuous sounds, like firecrackers, quickly approached. Lu Ban looked at the walls of the convenience store; the concrete walls were shaking and cracking.

Boom—

The next moment, the wall shattered with a crash.

A flying rock shattered, hitting the shelf in front of Lu Ban. The stainless steel shelf was instantly smashed, and the chips, snacks, and drinks inside rushed towards Lu Ban.

He immediately turned and ran away, feeling something liquid splash on his back. Lu Ban was very fortunate that there were several supermarket shelves in front of him, which blocked most of the impact, and he was not hit by the first wave of flying stones.

Lu tripped forward and rolled behind the cashier.

The next moment, countless goods rushed over like waves, covering the four people's heads.

Ketchup, instant noodles, olive oil, sunscreen—all sorts of things were mixed together, covering them like quicksand.

Amber hugged Lu Ban. She wasn't really scared. Having already acquired the relevant memories, Amber could remain completely calm and composed in this situation. Even if there was any real danger, she could summon those shadowy monsters to protect herself and Lu Ban.

But is now the time to talk about this?

Xia hugged her head. All she could hear outside was the deafening noise of a karaoke bar, a jumble of sounds filling her ears and making it impossible to think. She could only curl up tightly, worried that the wind would blow her away.

The noise lasted for about ten minutes.

Only after a series of intense buzzing sounds did Xia realize that things had quieted down outside.

She didn't act rashly, but waited a while before trying to stand up.

Sia should be thankful the wind was strong enough, otherwise she would probably be covered in rubble right now.

After pushing aside the slightly heavy pieces of snacks and a few boards that hadn't been blown away, Sia was able to stand up.

The first thing she saw was a wall.

The wall extends infinitely upwards and infinitely to the left and right, forming a closed loop.

Xia saw that most of the houses on the island had had a floor removed, and the building where the convenience store was located had its ceiling ripped off, like a naughty child roughly cutting a cake with a fruit knife.

She felt a sense of unease and looked up.

All I could see was a black sun high in the sky at the center of the storm.

Chapter 941 The Sun

In Xia's mind, the sun could never be black.

This is not reasonable.

Black is the void without any color, while sunlight is the purity that contains most colors.

She never imagined that she would see a black sun in her lifetime.

The sun hung high in the sky, so deep and dark that it seemed like a hole in the heavens.

Surrounding the sun were swirling clouds.

The clouds swirled around the black sun at a speed visible to the naked eye, influencing the surrounding scenery.

Further away is the "wall" that Xia had just seen.

This is a wall formed by the wind, the cloud wall surrounding the eye of this typhoon.

Without a doubt, after that commotion, the island entered the eye of the typhoon.

Here, there is not a sound, it is a completely still world.

Outside the island, a typhoon with winds stronger than any storm in human history is raging. Its influence extends thousands of miles away, with most of the Pacific Ocean currently experiencing torrential rain. Even on the continents near the ocean, the weather is gloomy, and a storm is imminent.

If astronauts on the space station were looking down at the earth right now, they would see that a giant eye had appeared on this planet, and an unprecedented super typhoon was ferocious and terrifying.

But in the eye of the typhoon, Lu Ban only felt silence.

He crawled out of the pile of random snacks and building debris and saw that the surroundings had darkened, as if all the light had been absorbed by the black sun in the sky.

Lu Ban wasn't too surprised by the sun, because he had seen a similar sight on the ancient island of He.

Do you know this?

Lu Ban inquired about the amber in his arms.

Amber shook her head.

"It seems this isn't a gift Charlotte left for us."

Lu Ban said with a self-deprecating tone, "Clearly, this thing is the work of the [Dark Ones]."

Thinking about it this way, the escape of the Great Old Ones sealed on the island is probably also related to the "Dark Ones".
