Chen Zhou hadn't even had time to react before a bolt of lightning crashed down onto a tree on the opposite side of the road, splitting a thick branch clean off. The leafy branch fell with a loud crash onto the road, black smoke billowing from the struck spot.
"Holy shit!"
Seeing this, he didn't dare stay under the tree any longer and quickly shuffled out, exposing himself completely to the curtain of rain.
The torrential downpour soaked him to the bone in seconds, the cold gnawing at him from inside, filling him with genuine fear—
The threat of hypothermia from the storm, combined with the side effects of the transformation medicine, could absolutely kill him.
"No way, I've got to find some place to shelter from the rain, fast.
Who knows how long this storm will last? Trying to tough it out all night out here could cost me half my life.
Even if I have the Regeneration Potion, I can't waste it in a situation like this. That's my ace up my sleeve."
