The raging fire came without warning, and the successive waves of earthquakes that followed surprised everyone.
Not to mention the scurrying camel riders, even Lux who joined Ino was momentarily unbalanced and almost fell to the ground.
When Lux and Ino finally dragged the frightened Scarash out of the oasis and into the desert, they looked back and saw that there was already a raging fire behind them and thick smoke billowing everywhere.
The shaking of the earth caused several panicked camels to lose their footing and fall directly to the ground - and then, before they could get up, they, together with the riders behind them, were licked by the tongues of fire, ignited, and finally died in wailing.
Silence.
The camels and riders who managed to escape were completely frightened by the horrific flames. They didn't even care about their companions and ran straight in the direction they came from, quickly disappearing into the billowing smoke.
.
The red flames, the billowing black smoke, and what had just been a peaceful and peaceful oasis of silk oil had turned into a sea of purgatory fire.
Feeling the heat rushing towards her face and breathing in the scorching smoke, Lux felt a little sluggish for a moment.
"What is going on?" Lux murmured, "Is someone setting a fire? Who is setting a fire? What about the remnants of the oasis living on the islands in the lake?"
"There is no need to worry about the safety of those remnants of the oasis for the time being." Kalya sighed, "If the main structure of Shuijingfang built during the Empire period on the island in the oasis is not damaged, as long as they hide in, this level of flames will still be there.
We won’t let them perish in the sea of fire.”
"Is this kind of flame okay?" Lux's eyes widened in astonishment, "The oil silk is rich in grease. I feel that the temperature of this flame is far higher than that of ordinary fires!"
"It doesn't matter, because Shuijingfang is a semi-underground permanent fortification." Kalya said, "Shuijingfang relies on culverts as the main body, with very few parts exposed above the ground. The whole thing is like a bunker, and the flame cannot burn it out - in fact,
Compared to the flames, I'm actually more worried about the small earthquake just now."
"The earthquake just now was probably caused by the fragments of the monolith, right?" After saying this, Lacus quickly reacted, "Could it be that the fragments of the monolith will damage the culvert?"
"It's very possible." Kalya confirmed Lux's guess, "When the monolithic fortress was built, Azhi put in a lot of effort, and almost the entire main body of the fortress was shaped by her... See you, Azhi
The one who passed is the one who can summon rocks."
Lux was stunned for a moment, and soon realized that Kalya was talking about a group of big guys who had given her a huge blow to her self-confidence.
"Is that the shy little girl?"
"That's right, it's her, A-Zhi." Karya continued, "She is also the main builder of these culverts. If the power of a monolith is used inside the culverts, it may cause resonance in the culverts, which will lead to cracks in the walls of the culverts.
, and even collapse.”
"So, wouldn't the oasis survivors on the island be in danger at this time?"
"Then we can only see if Bakai, who has the power of the monolith, can realize this."
……………………
Sefiqa has realized the problem.
In fact, when they received the notice from the elders and asked him to identify whether Kafu was a "descendant of the Eagle King", the people of Sefiqa were confused.
He is just a young man who inherited a strange stone left by his ancestors. He is a descendant of the Eagle King and so on... How does Sefiqa know?
Then, just when Sefiqa was searching for words to express her ignorance about the Eagle King in a less embarrassing way, the fire started to burn.
Seeing the flames rising in the distance, Sefiqa's first reaction was "These outsiders are actually setting fires"!
Under the excitement, Sefiqa's magic power almost went out of control, and the energy of the monolith fragments also agitated. As a result, with him as the center, the tremors of the earth spread rapidly.
Fortunately, the elder of Yousi Oasis grabbed him and dragged him towards Shuijingfang without any explanation: "We will tell you later who set the fire. The most important thing now is to go in and take shelter quickly. If the oilseeds catch fire, they will be extinguished."
If it doesn’t fall, now quickly notify everyone to evacuate——”
After hearing what the elder said, Kafu also picked up the small boat, turned around and rushed towards the lake. Then, before he could take a step, his robe was grabbed by Sefiqa and Kuqiu at the same time.
.
"You can't leave!" Sefiqa stared at Kafu, "It was your men who set the fire!"
"It's not my men... Damn it, the fire is getting bigger and bigger, Bai Yushuang is still waiting for me!"
"Even if your son is waiting for you at this time, you can't go!" Kuchu also grabbed Kafu's robe tightly, "When oil silk burns, the flame can even melt steel. If you go now, you will die - hurry up and follow
I'm coming to take refuge in the shelter!"
Kraft was still about to struggle, but at this moment, a white figure came leisurely among the green oily silk covering the lake. Seeing this scene, Kraft's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Bai Yushuang!" He stepped forward and hugged his white camel's neck, "Good girl, when did you learn to swim?"
Facing the excited owner, the white camel just tilted his head, then bent his forelimbs, knelt on the ground, and pretended to let Kraft ride him.
Seeing this scene, Sefiqa's eyes became sharp, and the ground began to tremble again.
Kraft laughed loudly, took out a radish from his waist pocket, and put it to the white camel's mouth.
"Good girl, let's not run away, let's go to the shelter - our people didn't set the fire. If we run away, wouldn't we be taking the blame for others!"
Although he was talking to the white camel on the surface, Kraft's words were obviously not meant for the white camel. Although Bai Yushuang was indeed a very obedient and sensible white camel, this kind of words did not matter to her.
It is completely incomprehensible to say it.
Instead, it was the radish in Kraft's hand that aroused her interest. After sniffing it with her nostrils wide open, she followed Kraft's hand holding the radish, stood up quickly, and nibbled it in one gulp.
Cut one third of a radish.
In this way, Kafu took his precious white camel that had trapped Luo Nabu, and under the supervision of Sefiqa, he honestly entered the refuge of the oasis survivors.
That is, in the semi-underground wellhouse built during the Shurima Empire.
After he arrived here, every family on the central island of the oasis also fled into this shelter with a few pieces of their precious clothes.
After the elders confirmed that everyone had come in, several young and strong boys lifted the door of the shelter, covered it tightly, and then formed a circle, closing Kraft and his side.
White camels gnawing turnips gathered in the middle.
"Tell me, Mr. Kraft." The elder came to Kraft and stared at him with a pair of cloudy eyes, "What on earth is going on?"
