Chapter 495 A swarm of insects fights the fire! (5100 words)

"Fire is useful, use fire!" Zeng Tao said excitedly immediately.

At this time, Li Wenxi's shouting came from the main tree house.

"What's going on outside!"

She also heard the sound of insects eating trees and saw the trees falling down in the jungle. She lay on the window and shouted in this direction.

"Ugh!" Coco also shouted to this side, "Ugh!"

It seemed to mean telling him to go back quickly.

Xu Xin immediately shouted to the main tree house: "Wen Xi, tell them to turn off all the lights! No light is allowed in the tree house! There is a situation outside!"

"I see!"

Within five or six seconds, all the lights on the upper and lower floors of the tree house went out.

The area around the treehouse immediately became dark, with only the torch planted on the ground by Xu Xin still burning and emitting light.

Suddenly, the flying insects became even more crazy, rushing towards the torch in groups.

But there were too many bugs attacking the torch, and there were even bugs on the ground crawling up the torch. In an instant, the torch was surrounded by a swarm of bugs and extinguished.

However, many insects were burned to death, and an unpleasant burning smell filled the air.

Flame is very useful.

The insects that lost their target returned to the jungle again and began to eat the trees.

"Let's set fire to the forest! Burn all those insects!" Zeng Tao suggested.

"Are you crazy!" Lou Fei'er immediately slapped her on the head, "Do you want us all to die?"

"Don't hit me on the head!" Zeng Tao swatted her hand away and said nonchalantly, "It's not like we haven't encountered forest fires before, so the jungle will grow back the next day? Aren't we also dead?

.”

Jin Yue frowned slightly: "I think you shouldn't do this kind of thing unless you have to. Setting fire to the mountain is not as harmful as usual."

"What's wrong?" Zeng Tao pointed to the jungle, "If we don't burn it, the jungle will probably be eaten clean by insects, right? After they finish eating the jungle, they will probably come to eat us! It's better to

Let the jungle die gloriously and die together with the insects!"

There is some truth in what Zeng Tao said.

but……

It's better not to do this.

"Set the mountain on fire, how long do you think it will last?" Xu Xin looked sideways at Zeng Tao and asked.

"Well... although a bush fire can burn for a long time, that's because it continues to spread outwards." Zeng Tao thought that Xu Xin was afraid that the bush would burn for a long time, so she defended, "The area around our tree house won't burn for long, right?

Moreover, the bushfires in this world should have a large scope, right?"

The rivers in the jungle are complex, and wildfires may indeed only burn an area and not affect many people.

After all, most of the people around him have already been with their explorers.

"I won't mention whether the spread will affect other people, but because it won't last long, we can't set fire to the jungle." Xu Xin shook his head. "The trees around the main tree house can be burned out in a few hours at most. This

The insects in this batch have been burned out, but what about the next batch? What about tomorrow night? What if this kind of insect swarm occurs again tomorrow night?"

"This..." Zeng Tao was stopped by the question, lowered his head and murmured, "The jungle is gone, there are still bugs...and maybe the jungle can grow back..."

"You guys probably don't know how these bugs appeared, right?" Xu Xin asked.

The three women all shook their heads: "I don't know."

The problem of insects still needs to be dealt with carefully.

It is indeed possible that the jungle will be eaten clean by these insects, but at their current speed, they will not be able to eat it all in one night.

It can last at least three nights.

It's better to keep it.

Xu Xin spoke at this time: "Set fire is indeed a way, but there is no need to burn the forest. Let's raise a few bonfires in the open space to try the effect. If it doesn't work... then dig out another gully and set fire."

The fire trench he dug during the previous defense of the treehouse had already been filled in. If he wanted to set off a fire, he would need to dig it again.

Let’s try it with a campfire first.

By setting up a bonfire, these bugs will have the flame as their target, so they probably won't attack the tree house.

"This method is good! But what should we use to make a fire?"

"Mutated vines." Xu Xin said.

Mutated vines burn much longer than wood, and one vine can burn once and for all for an entire night.

They explorers have no shortage of mutant vines.

After all, mutant vine juice is used to make explosives, so they must have sufficient reserves of this stuff.

In the underground world before, a few of them, especially Wen Guixin, brought a lot of underground mutated vines.

And yesterday, the first day of scorching heat, while he and Li Wenxi were busy, others were not idle either.

At the end of the cold winter, dangerous areas in the jungle appeared again. Wen Guixin and her people were responsible for going to the dangerous areas and killing the vines.

Although she only acted for about an hour before she couldn't bear the heat and came back, the speed at which she cleared the monsters was enough for them to last a long time.

Xu Xin turned to look at the women beside her.

What should they do now with their treehouses?

Zeng Tao didn't care anymore, after all, her tree house was basically hopeless.

The tree houses of Lou Fei'er and Jin Yue are both about a hundred meters away from the main tree house, very close to the lush jungle, and only a few meters away from the jungle.

Their treehouse is likely to be attacked first!

Although it may not necessarily be destroyed, it is still necessary to take precautions before they happen.

And Qin Fu.

Where did that guy go?

The map instantly appeared in his mind, and then he saw a red dot about five or six hundred meters away from the main tree house, and it was still moving slowly in a farther direction.

This guy has just recovered, what does he want to do again?

Forget it, let’s take care of the surroundings of the tree house first!

"You two, go pack your things in the tree house and take all your valuables with you." Xu Xin turned to Lou Fei'er and Jin Yue and said.

Their treehouse is too close to the jungle, so let everyone come to their treehouse.

"I'll go help them!" Zeng Tao also followed.

Xu Xin quickly returned to her tree house.

"What's going on outside?" Li Wenxi immediately came over and asked worriedly, "Why are those trees falling one after another?"

Xu Xin briefly explained the situation, and then said: "I need mutated vines to make campfire materials!"

Most of the explorer's materials were stored here in Li Wenxi's place, and Li Wenxi brought all those materials with her when she came this time.

"good!"

After coming down from the tree house with dozens of dead mutated vines, Lou Fei'er and Jin Yue Zengtao had also finished cleaning them up. Together with Xu Xin, they quickly placed a tree 70 to 80 meters away from the tree house.

Circle, then light!

Mutated vines are very flammable materials, so just coil them on the ground and light them.

There were extremely bright fires burning in all directions of the tree house.

Suddenly, the insect swarms in the jungle went crazy!

Countless flying insects and crawlers rushed towards the burning mutated vines and jumped into the fierce flames!

And then became part of the flame.

The fire of the mutated vines is much brighter and more intense than the fire of the torch!

Even if the insect swarm is raging, it is impossible to extinguish the flames with their numbers. Just being picked up by the external flames, these small flying insects are reduced to ashes. Using themselves as fuel, the flames become more intense!

The same goes for the crawlers on the ground. When they crawl into the flames, they will only serve as fuel to make it burn even more vigorously!

The treehouse was also illuminated, and most of the survivors in the treehouse were lying on the windows looking out.

"Is this how to repel insects?"

"A full circle of flames!"

"There are so many bugs flying into the fire! Oh my god, they are so densely packed, so disgusting!"

"Why is this fire burning so brightly?"

"Insects use their bodies to add fuel to the flames."
