Each fuse was a length of rope kilometers long, which would ensure that both humans and bees could get away from the explosion safely. After being lit, these fuses burned evenly the entire way…
Until they reached the gunpowder charges, and an almost simultaneous wave of explosions followed!
They echoed through the mouth of the cave and erupted like a beast's growls together with a blast wave and clouds of dust! Although everybody on the demolition team had time to move several kilometers away from the cave, the gusts of wind made the bees wobble in the air even from this distance!
The noise was so loud that humans and bees alike were covering their ears. If I weren't an astral projection, I'd be doing the same!
It was almost as if the entire mountain was rumbling. The ground was shaking. Several dragons took flight in the distance and flew away from us; the beasts that didn't escape when the demolition team had arrived were now fleeing with cries of fear.
