"Have you ever felt that the temperature around you has been getting higher and higher? It's already over 30 degrees now!" Shen Feng said to the three people around him.
Yue Hengyi looked up at the sky, found the position of the sun, frowned and said, "Isn't it already noon? The sun is right above our heads, and the sunlight is shining directly on the ground. It's normal for the temperature to be higher, isn't it?"
"It shouldn't be. Don't forget, it was a heavy rain yesterday. There is so much water in the mountains. This water has not evaporated yet, and the temperature will not be so high!" Shen Feng said seriously.
Yue Hengyi thought for a while and said: "How about I go explore the road and see if there is anything ahead. If there is no danger, we will return immediately."
Shen Feng also plans to agree with Yue Hengyi's suggestion. When facing unknown dangers, one must not act recklessly. Otherwise, once danger is encountered, no one can run away!
However, Slotke suddenly said: "Mountain fire, this is a mountain fire, let's run!"
"Mountain fire? How is it possible? Just after the heavy rain, the mountain fire broke out immediately. This is unreasonable!" Shen Feng did not believe that this was the occurrence of a mountain fire.
Slotke quickly explained: "I have lived in Australia for more than fifty years, and I know this best. Every time it comes to winter, there will be wildfires in Australia. In the 20th year, Australia's mountain fires The fire will save millions of kangaroos and koalas, and there are many eucalyptus forests in Australia, and the bark and leaves contain a lot of oil, which is easy to burn!"
At this moment, Slote, as a local, had already spoken, so his credibility was naturally no problem. Shen Feng also felt that the temperature around him was gradually rising. If he continued to move forward, he might encounter a mountain fire.
"Go back! Retreat!" Shen Feng did not hesitate and immediately announced the order.
"Brother Feng, if we retreat, the journey we traveled today will be useless and we will be back to the starting point!" Yue Hengyi was a little unwilling.
"Life is the most important thing. When we go back, we can either find a car and cross the grassland in the middle, or find a boat, sail to Melbourne, and walk in the woods on foot. What if we encounter a real wildfire?" Shen Feng reluctantly said He kept teaching Yue Hengyi a lesson and always wanted to go back as soon as possible, but he had to do it while ensuring the safety of his life.
Yue Hengyi had no choice but to obey Shen Feng's orders. He also knew that he could be very stubborn sometimes. He didn't follow Shen Feng's advice on the island and ate poisonous wild fruits. He couldn't move for only half a month. Now is not the time to be stubborn.
Although Yue Hengyi didn't say it, he admitted in his heart that Shen Feng's considerations were more thoughtful than his own, and it was the most appropriate thing to follow his advice.
Not long after the four people retreated, bursts of whistling sounds suddenly came from the mountain forest. Looking in the direction of the sound, they could see wild boars, mice and rabbits running wildly in the woods, and there were also monkeys in the trees. The squirrels are moving, and numerous animals have formed a beast tide. Whether they are mutated animals or non-mutated animals, they are all running like crazy.
"It seems that the mountain fire is real, and it is very large. All these wild animals have begun to flee for their lives, and we cannot delay it!" Shen Feng said quickly.
The intuition of beasts is even stronger than that of humans at some moments. After all, humans have survived in society for a long time, and many of their receptors have degenerated. However, wild animals need to maintain their survival in the wild, so their receptors are very He is keen and always observing his surroundings. Once he discovers an adverse situation, he will run away immediately.
Now, after seeing the beast tide around him, Shen Feng also knew that the mountain fire must have appeared.
The four of them were also very fortunate that they did not encounter wildfires when they were moving forward, and now they will probably not encounter wildfires when they return.
However, after running along the road for two kilometers, the woods on both sides of the road were all on fire. I obviously didn't see any fireworks when I came here, but just after I returned, the mountain fire actually broke out.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
It was set on fire right behind him.
"Damn it, what kind of bastard is plotting against us? He has set our retreat on fire!" Shen Feng couldn't help but cursed angrily.
Originally, the four of them wanted to return the way they came. After all, there was no danger on the way they came, so it would be safe when they went back. However, now the way back has been cut off by the wildfire.
Yue Hengyi also felt that it was impossible for fires to break out in the mountains and forests for no reason, especially on the way back, and suddenly there were mountain fires blocking the way. Maybe there were enemies setting fires secretly, hoping to use the mountain fires to eliminate themselves in the forest.
"Mr. Shen, Mr. Yue, what should we do now? The mountains are full of fire, or we should dig holes and hide underground!" Li Gui suggested to Shen Feng and Yue Hengyi.
Now we don’t know how big the fire is in the forest. Li Gui can only give an idea. Isn’t it said that the soil can insulate? Wouldn’t it be safe to hide underground? Why run for your life like crazy?
Shen Feng shook his head slightly and said: "It's impossible, we don't have that much time to dig the cave. Besides, hiding in the cave will consume all the oxygen and we will be suffocated to death. Have you heard of the beggar's chicken? ?The way to make beggar's chicken is to wrap it in yellow mud and throw it into the charcoal fire to bake!"
"Then what should we do? Our retreat has been blocked now, and it is no longer possible to return the way we came!" Li Gui was still very panicked.
Shen Feng pointed to the south and said: "Now, let's rush towards the sea. According to my guess, we are only a few kilometers away from the sea. As long as we rush into the sea, the mountain fire will not be able to do anything to us. !”
After saying that, Shen Feng took the lead and opened the way. Hundreds of wind blades flew out, instantly cutting a passage through the woods, and the four of them kept running towards the south.
As a result, the speed of the wildfire spread was not slow. One second, I only saw a small flame. The next second, a huge fire dragon rushed over from the woods. Wherever the fire dragon passed, the surrounding trees instantly disappeared. When it comes to burning, there are too many eucalyptus trees in Australia. As long as wildfires occur, the woods will be ignited immediately. Although the ground is muddy, the water is constantly evaporating under the hot flames, and black smoke is mixed in the woods. White smoke is constantly filling the air.
The black smoke is billowing, which means that the branches containing moisture are burning, and the white smoke is thick, which means that a lot of water vapor has been evaporated.
Shen Feng no longer dared to look back. He opened the road wholeheartedly and headed south. The surrounding branches were constantly cut off, regardless of whether there were poisonous snakes in the dead branches and leaves on the ground. It was important to escape now, as the mountain fire had spread behind him. .
Once a wildfire occurs, it will take a huge amount of experience to put it out, especially in a forest where there are trees and combustibles everywhere. When a fire appears, a sea of fire will appear immediately.
There is no shortage of oxygen in the trees in the forest. When they burn, the flames shoot straight into the sky and can reach a height of twenty meters. Helicopters flying above have to worry about being burned by the flames.
The scorching heat was already burning the backs of the four people. The four of them could only continue to run for their lives. In the face of the force of nature, the superpowers could only flee. Only those with superpowers who could control the flames could survive in this situation. If they survive, like Xiao Sheng and Ke Yiming, they can stay in the sea of fire and be fine. Of course, they will still die if they lack oxygen.
After running for half an hour, the four people finally rushed out of the woods. Outside the woods was a shoal with many rocks, but the soil had long been washed away by the sea water, so there was no conditions for plant growth. There was no grass growing on the shoal, and the waves were still there. On the washed shore with "crash".
"Huh, I finally escaped. If I find out who set the fire, I will never spare him!" Shen Feng said fiercely.
Yue Hengyi was also filled with indignation and said: "Forest fire prevention awareness abroad needs to be improved. If you dare to set fire in the mountains at home, be prepared to go to jail! I saw a wisp of smoke on the mountain.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
, squatting in a prison cell for more than ten years is no exaggeration at all!"
The four people who escaped from the woods found the reef and sat on the beach to rest. They watched that the flames in the forest could not spread to the seaside, so they were already safe.
Li Gui found a pile of firewood, made a fire, took out the bacon in his backpack and barbecued it. After walking for a whole morning, his physical strength was exhausted and he was already hungry.
At this time, Slott grabbed Shen Feng's arm, pointed his other finger at the sky, and said, "Look, we found the guy who set the fire."
Shen Feng didn't understand English, but he still looked in the direction the other person was pointing. He didn't know what to look at, but he was startled when he saw it. There were a group of birds in the sky, holding flames in their mouths, and they were throwing them into the forest. Where did the fire fall? , the flames spread immediately.
"Holy crap, what kind of bird is this? It can actually set fire? Isn't it said that humans are the only animals that can use fire?" Shen Feng couldn't help but sigh.
Yue Hengyi also looked at the flock of birds in the sky, and finally solved the case. No wonder his way back was blocked by wildfires. It turned out that some birds dropped fire from the sky. Damn it.
"What abomination, these beasts. If they set a fire right now, wouldn't it block our way forward?" Yue Hengyi was also scolding.
At this time, Slotke also explained the reason, and Li Gui acted as a translator while chewing the bacon in his hand.
It turns out that not only humans can use flames on earth, but also Australian birds, called whistling kites, can also use flames. Of course, this kind of bird cannot drill wood to make fire, it can only make fire. Throw the burned branches into the forest. When the wildfire occurs, the animals in the forest will naturally be burned to death. Only then will the Xiaoyuan appear to pick up the animals to eat.
And Xiaoyuan is setting fires everywhere now, probably because they are so hungry during the one and a half month storm season, so after the rain stops, they set out collectively to set fires, creating a large number of mountain fires.
The red clouds in the sky that everyone saw before were actually the clouds dyed red by the light of the flames. If a large forest is on fire, the entire surrounding sky will be blood red.
"Oh, the sky is blind. This kind of thing will happen to us. Now when we go to Melbourne, the road is blocked, and if we are not careful, we will encounter wildfires. What should we do now?" Yue Hengyi was speechless. Australia is really a weird place. The animals are so unique. They even learned how to set fire. It’s really stupid.
"You said before that the Purple Qi was coming from the east, why have you become Eyeless in the Sky now? Why do you look more like a person from Sichuan Province than me? Your face-changing skills are so amazing!" Shen Feng couldn't help but tease.
"Nonsense, only I can encounter the Purple Energy from the East. What I encountered is a disaster, brother. The two cannot be compared!" Yue Hengyi shrugged.
Shen Feng looked at the map, thought for a while and said: "Since we can't go to the east for a while, let's change the direction and go to the cities in the west. There are also port cities in southwest Australia, Perth and Fremantle, although they are not as good as Canberra and Sydney, but since it’s a big city, it won’t be too bad.”
Yue Hengyi also came over and looked at the map in Shen Feng's hand. When he saw the locations of the two cities, he couldn't help but frown: "If we go back to China from here, most of the Australian continent is separated. Isn't it too far?"
"There is no other way but to take a long way around. However, a great man once said, defend in order to attack, retreat in order to advance; turn sideways in order to go forward; take detours in order to go straight. The affairs of the world are not based on yours. The will is transferred. You want to do this, but you can't do it all at once. When you come back around, the thing will be done again!" Shen Feng said helplessly.
"Having said all that, it is not necessary to take a long detour, that's all. Just take a detour. Sooner or later, I will kill these whistling kites." Yue Hengyi was also very annoyed. The shortest road back home was blocked by a bunch of birds. It was interrupted and forced me to take a long detour, which was very uncomfortable.
After resting at the beach for a while, everyone headed west along the coastline.
