She Outshines Them All (Athena and Matthew)

Chapter 174

The temperature was at 46.7 degrees at noon.

Even with blazing sun and oppressive heat, Matthew had himself packed into his backpack, sitting on a rock with only half his face showing. "10, 9, 8, 7.""

When he reached "0," the sunlight vanished rapidly, and dark clouds quickly gathered.

The wind suddenly picked up, howling menacingly as it shook the trees and underbrush, seemingly trying to uproot them.

In less than three minutes, the sky turned from white to black, and visibility dropped to zero.

A torrential downpour began.

Such a heavy rain would be a once-in-a-decade event in Kitmore City or Valemont City, but here in the tropical rainforest, it occurred almost daily. Thankfully, it didn't last long. After about ten minutes, the rain stopped, and the wind calmed.

The darkness lifted to a a gloomy shade and then brightened to white.

Like the dawn, the sun reemerged, the dark clouds vanished, and the rainforest became stifling again.

Matthew opened his eyes, , stood up, and and took off his backpack.

He pulled out a small bottle from the pack and poured a peanut-sized white cotton ball into a waterproof box filled with rainwater.

The white cotton slowly expanded, gradually darkening in color.
