Something like the Drought Demon that only existed in legends was actually encountered in reality, which shocked Ma Xiaoyao and others.
There are high and low levels of drought demons, which are distinguished by different colors of hair. For example, the two in front of you, one is covered with black hair, and the other is almost hairless. They are both high-level drought demons. They are powerful and difficult to resist.
All things in the world are interdependent. Drought demons evolved from zombies, and zombies have mutable corpses. Therefore, drought demons are full of yin energy and are very afraid of fire. Ma Xiaoyao and others rely on flamethrowers and fire oil cans to resist drought demons.
.
There is not much fuel in the flamethrower, and there are not many kerosene cans left, so we can only use them sparingly and not waste any more.
Three days!
The two drought demons followed Ma Xiaoyao and others for three days, never leaving. No matter how Ma Xiaoyao and others tried to intimidate, threaten, or attack, the two drought demons just refused to leave. It was as if they were determined to follow Ma Xiaoyao.
Xiaoyao and others compete with each other.
As long as the drought demons are too far away, Ma Xiaoyao and others will turn off the flamethrowers to save fuel. When the two drought demons are close, they will turn on the flamethrowers to scare them, and occasionally throw out one or two fire oil cans!
This stalemate lasted for three days. During these three days, Ma Xiaoyao and others were tortured. They could not eat well, sleep well, and were worried all day long. After three days, several of them were haggard.
A lot.
"This is not the way to go." Ma Xiaoyao frowned.
"The fuel for the flamethrower is running out. It can be fired five or six times at most. There are still kerosene cans... there are only three left." Hu Yandong said: "When the flamethrower is out of fuel, the kerosene cans will also be used.
After using it, we will suffer."
"Damn the drought demons! How did we provoke them? They insist on having a hard time with us! Damn it!!" Ma Xiaoyao cursed.
"Now is not the time to get angry, we should quickly find a way to get rid of the two drought demons." Hu Yandong said.
"Is there anything I can do... apart from being afraid of fire... fire... uh..." Ma Xiaoyao narrowed his eyes: "I suddenly thought of a way... maybe it will work..."
"What can we do?" Everyone asked hurriedly.
Ma Xiaoyao glanced at the surrounding trees: "Have you noticed... the further you go in, the denser the trees become, almost one by one, and even the walking space is almost blocked."
"Yes, I have discovered this situation a long time ago." Ouyang Zilan nodded.
"Such a dense forest...if a fire is lit, it should spread quickly..."
"Ah? Light a fire? You want to burn down this forest?"
"I just want to deal with those two drought demons! As long as the fire burns, those two drought demons will be unable to protect themselves and will no longer have the energy to chase us."
"Isn't this too... excessive... It would be a pity if such a large forest... was burned down..."
"Then what do you think we should do? Do you have a better way to deal with those two drought demons?"
…
Burning the forest?
Ma Xiaoyao's idea is really vicious! But I have to admit that this method is very effective and is currently the best way to deal with drought demons. Aren't drought demons afraid of fire? Then let the whole forest turn into a sea of fire, even if it doesn't burn to death in the end
The drought demon is enough to scare them away.
Ouyang Zilan and others hesitated for a long time, and finally agreed to Ma Xiaoyao's proposal. No matter how important the forest is, it is not as important as one's own life.
"You don't have to blame yourself. This ghost forest is called one of the four most dangerous places. It has swallowed up many lives over the years. It is a completely dangerous place. Now that we destroy it, it can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people."
." Ma Xiaoyao is quite good at comforting himself.
Hu Yandong nodded: "Master Ma is right. Destroying the ghost forest is not a bad thing. At least no one will come here to die in the future. Strictly speaking, we have done a meritorious deed."
." This old guy is also quite thick-skinned.
"Since it is a meritorious deed, let's light a fire." Ouyang Wuwei's expression was very serious.
Ouyang Zilan opened her mouth to say something, but after seeing everyone's serious expressions, she swallowed the words that came to her lips, forget it, don't say anything anymore, just do what you like.
"Open all the remaining kerosene cans and sprinkle the kerosene inside on the surrounding tree trunks."
"Speed up!"
"Those two drought demons are chasing after me again!"
"Shock them with the flamethrower first!"
"...Okay, the fire oil has been poured...you can light the fire at any time..."
"Light the fire now! Let's evacuate as soon as the fire starts!"
"boom!!!"
"Huhuhu..."
The fire broke out instantly, and in the blink of an eye, a radius of dozens of meters became a sea of fire.
"Walk!!!"
Ma Xiaoyao turned around and left without hesitation, and the others quickly followed. In a moment, they disappeared.
"roar!!!!"
The high-pitched roar of the Drought Demon came from behind, and the voice was full of anger and resentment! The forest was their home, and now that their home was burned, how could they not be angry? Watching the fire continue to spread around, the two Drought Demons were completely frightened.
They really want to put out the fire, but they don't dare to get close! Their natural fear of fire is a fact they can never change! Even if they are powerful, they don't dare to get close to the flames.
The fire spread very quickly. Within a few minutes, all the trees within a few hundred meters were on fire. Huge black smoke rose into the sky. This black smoke could be seen hundreds of miles away. Anyone who looked at it could see it.
Everyone who saw the black smoke was shocked. What is going on? Is the volcano erupting?
"Finally got rid of those two drought demons!" Ma Xiaoyao breathed a long sigh of relief.
"The wind is blowing..." Hu Yandong suddenly said.
"The fire will take advantage of the wind, and it won't take long for the fire to spread." Ouyang Wuwei said with a serious expression: "Before the fire spreads, let's quickly look for the fragments of the Tiangong map, and leave here as soon as we find them."
"Let's go, speed up!" Ma Xiaoyao also realized the seriousness of the matter, so he called on everyone to speed up and hurry up.
…
On the other side of the forest.
Jin Tianwei looked at the fire in the distance in surprise: "Why did the fire suddenly start? Is it man-made? Or an accident?" Jin Tianwei suddenly thought of Ma Xiaoyao... Could this fire be caused by Ma Xiaoyao?
"Jin Tianwei...I fell into your hands...I want to kill or behead you, it's up to you..." There was a man lying more than ten meters away from Jin Tianwei, a man with blood all over his body and face. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Long Da.
.
Jin Tianwei turned his attention to Long Da: "I chased you for three days and three nights, and finally caught up with you."
"Stop talking nonsense... hurry up and take action..." Long Da cursed weakly.
"Don't worry, I will do it!" Jin Tianwei walked over: "But before I do it, I want to ask you something."
"What do you want to ask?"
"Where did you learn the magic of death?"
"You want to know? Really want to know? Hum hum... I won't tell you!"
"Long Da, tell me the truth and I will leave you with a complete body. Otherwise... I will use the most cruel methods in the world to torture you."
"Torture me? You don't have this chance!"
"What do you want to do! Bastard!" Jin Tianwei yelled loudly, because Long Da committed suicide and died by forcibly severing his meridians: "Hateful!" Jin Tianwei waved his arm fiercely. He originally wanted to torture the magic of death from Long Da's mouth.
Who knew that Long Da actually committed suicide?
The Death Art is the nemesis of the Emperor's Art. If it cannot be completely destroyed... it will definitely be a big trouble in the future.
"Do you think I will let you go if you die?" Jin Tianwei shook his hands into a fist and smashed Long Da's body: "The Emperor's Divine Art: Destruction Fist!!!"
"boom!"
After a loud noise, Long Da's body suddenly fell into pieces. Since Long Da had just died and the blood in his body had not yet solidified, all the blood flowed out after the body burst, covering the nearby ground.
"This is what you get for opposing me!" After saying these harsh words, Jin Tianwei turned around and left.
…
The fire spread very quickly. In less than a day, one-third of the trees were ignited. The fire raged and burned the entire sky. Thick black smoke continued to scatter in all directions.
Once burned by the fire, many strange creatures popped out, such as a snake with horns on its head, a chicken with three claws, a mouse over one meter in size, a fox with three tails... these things are not found outside.
Yes, it looks very strange and strange.
If we were to use one word to describe it, it would be "mutated species", yes, it is a mutant species! As for how these creatures mutate, there is no way to know.
"There are so many animals hidden in the woods!"
"If it hadn't been for this fire, they definitely wouldn't have come out."
"This time we have caused quite a lot of murder."
"Don't worry, these creatures are not stupid. They will definitely run out and won't be burned to death."
"I hope so."
…
Ma Xiaoyao and others ran quickly in the woods. Whenever they saw something suspicious, they would stop and search. Along the way, they picked up many rare elixirs, such as ginseng, Polygonum multiflorum and the like. As for Tiangong
The fragments of the map were not seen at all.
"The fire is spreading too fast. It won't take long before the entire forest will burn." Hu Yandong reached out and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"So we need to speed up the search for the whereabouts of the Tiangong map fragments." Ma Xiaoyao said.
"I'm worried...the fragments of the Tiangong map will be burned by the fire..." Hu Yandong looked worried.
"No!" Ma Xiaoyao shook his head: "We have to think on the bright side! We will definitely find the fragments of the Tiangong map! We will definitely do it!!!"
"In order to buy time, let's act separately." Hu Yandong suggested again.
"..." Ma Xiaoyao hesitated this time. He also knew that the time was urgent and that separated operations could save a lot of time: "Okay!" After hesitating for a moment, Ma Xiaoyao agreed to Hu Yandong's proposal: "Let's divide our troops.
Two routes, Zilan and I, Senior Huyan and Senior Ouyang together, remember, no matter what the outcome, you must get out before the fire burns down the forest!"
"Well, let's go." Hu Yandong pulled Ouyang Wuwei away quickly.
After Hu Yandong and Ouyang Wuwei disappeared, Ma Xiaoyao and Ouyang Zilan turned and left.
…
Jin Tianwei originally wanted to leave the ghost forest, but the retreat was blocked by the fire, so he could only go around. Just after walking a few hundred meters, Jin Tianwei encountered two monsters. They were tall and ferocious in appearance. One was covered with black hair.
One was completely bald except for a small amount of black hair on his neck and wrists.
"Drought Demon?!" Jin Tianwei took a breath. He had read many ancient books before, and one of them recorded information about Drought Demon. At that time, Jin Tianwei took a second look out of curiosity. There were images on it.
, very similar to the two monsters in front of me...
"roar!!!"
The two monsters also discovered Jin Tianwei, roared in the sky, and then rushed towards Jin Tianwei.
"How come there are drought demons in this world? Aren't drought demons something in legend?" Jin Tianwei knew that he was very powerful, so he did not dodge or run away, but chose to confront the two monsters head-on.
Jin Tianwei regretted it as soon as he took advantage of it! Damn it, these two monsters are so powerful! They are almost as strong as tenth-level warriors! Especially the monster with only a small amount of black hair on its body is ridiculously powerful.
"Bang bang bang..."
"Dang Dang Dang..."
"Boom, boom, boom..."
The two monsters are full of brute strength. They don't know any martial arts moves. They just rush around, smashing with their fists, bumping with their strong bodies, or biting with their teeth. The fighting style is a bit rogue, but the effect is really excellent. As the saying goes, one force can bring down the enemy.
After ten sessions, the simpler the moves, the more powerful they will be.
If he fought against one of the monsters alone, Jin Tianwei might be able to resist it for a while, but now he was fighting against two monsters at once, and Jin Tianwei was a little overwhelmed.
"roar!!!"
"Bang!"
"Well!"
Jin Tianwei was punched by the monster and flew away. With the momentum of the fist, Jin Tianwei rolled a few somersaults in the air, then landed on the ground and ran away. Of course he would run away if he couldn't beat him! Do you want to stay and die?
"roar!!!"
The two monsters chased after him relentlessly.
Damn it! Did these two monsters take the wrong medicine? I didn’t provoke them, so why were they so unforgiving to me? Jin Tianwei cursed in his heart!
In fact, all this happened because of Ma Xiaoyao and others, Jin Tianwei simply took the blame for them!
Ma Xiaoyao and others burned down the Hanbao's forest home in a fire. The two Hanbao must have been furious. Later, they found a human who looked similar to Ma Xiaoyao and others (Jin Tianwei), and they all vented their anger on Jin Tianwei.
.
The two Hanbao obviously regarded Jin Tianwei as an accomplice of Ma Xiaoyao and others.
If Jin Tianwei knew the truth, he would probably be pissed to death.
A sudden fire in the ghost forest will definitely attract the attention of all parties. No, many people rushed to the scene. In less than a day, the ghost forest was surrounded by people, densely packed, at least thousands of people, including men.
There are women, old and young, some are very powerful, and some are average.
Everyone knows that there are treasures in the ghost forest, but no one dares to come because of the danger of the ghost forest. Now there is a fire in the ghost forest, and it is about to burn down. The risk factor must be reduced to the minimum. If you rush to the scene, you may be able to fish in troubled waters.
