Ancient Sword II: The Tracking of the Fierce Mountain

Chapter 180: Fire

There are a lot of people in the house, except for those who defend against the moths, there are still a lot of spare manpower.Although not all the straw and wood chips in the house were collected, most of them were piled to the lower left of the roof.

Old man Hu had poured down a can of diesel oil, and the pungent smell filled the whole room.He looked at Shen Ye and Liu He, who were still struggling, and saw that they both nodded and looked calm. He gritted his teeth, and the fire in his hand finally lit up.

The moment sparks hit diesel, fiery flames gushed out.Shen Ye threw the nearly melted board onto the fire, followed the trend, threw Xie Yi down, and rolled away on the spot.

In an instant, countless moths flooded in like a waterfall.There were so many moths and they were so powerful that Liu He and Huang Qi had tents as cover, and they were all bounced away.Fortunately, there is a fire as the target at this moment, and the temperature of the human body is nothing in the eyes of moths.

The gray moth's body ignites when it encounters fire, and sparks are emitted like dead leaves, but it turns into ashes in a moment.It's just that the moths are just circling around such a small pile of fire, and the scene is still a little scary.

"Let's get out of here!" Old man Hu slapped the several moths stuck to death, and shouted at everyone in the room.

By the window, Xia Yi wrapped his arms around Le Wuyi's neck and pounced on the spot.The next moment, another spring-like moth poured into the stone house from the window.

It's just that although the fire pile attracts moths, it is too small in size and has little power. Some gray moths have already flew towards the living people hungry.

"Let's go!" Shen Ye grabbed Xie Yi, but ran towards the door - the moth entered the stone house through two entrances, and the attack on this door and the other window was naturally greatly reduced.

All the wooden boards blocking the door and windows were thrown into the fire, just to prolong the burning time of the flame.Everyone fled out of the stone house in embarrassment, and saw the scattered firewood on the open space at a glance.It's just that even without the hail, the firewood burned almost as well.

The hailstorm has decreased, but it still hurts people's headaches, but everyone can't care about it.

"Go this way! Hurry up!" Old man Hu waved his hand and took the lead to run.The stone house was surrounded by black moths, and some of them were already flying towards the crowd.

Shen Ye and Xie Yi waited for a while, until Xia Yi and Le Wuyi came to join them, and then they ran away with everyone.It's just that the road conditions in the forest are not good, and everyone is in a panic now, so the efficiency is naturally greatly reduced.The four wanted to speed up their pace, but they were blocked by the people in front.

The moths were like gangrene attached to the bone, biting people's faces and hands with endless pain.But fortunately, there are not many of them, otherwise such a small wound cannot be solved.

While being covered by the branches, everyone wanted to slap the moths that were following to death, so the speed naturally slowed down a lot. As soon as the speed slowed down, more insects naturally followed.

So, a vicious circle.

The people behind were in a state of distress, and the leader, Old Man Hu, was like an agile wolf, swiftly shuttling through the forest.It's just that although he led everyone to escape, he forgot that the moths in the mountains would not only appear in one place in the stone house.

A gust of wind blew from the front, the old man Hu's pupils shrank, and he kept sprinting downwards.The next moment, he heard a scream from a person beside him, and was carried into the air by the black wind.

The warm blood spots flew away in an instant, attracting more moths to surge up.

"Ao Ming!"

In the black wind, one can see the hopeless struggle of the human body, accompanied by a shrill scream: "Help me—!" But everyone is a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, how can they save him who is flying in the air?

There are bloodthirsty moths in the front and back, and the rustling of leaves on both sides is constant. Behind it, there may be endless bugs rushing.

Shen Ye had already thrown Xie Yi down, the two people in front of him were frightened by the screams of their companions, they just stood still in a daze.Such an abrupt target attracted the mad bites of gray moths the next moment.

A series of screams sounded, Shen Ye looked up, and suddenly saw Liu He standing up, holding a can of diesel in his hand.

Is it!

As Shen Ye expected, Liu He poured diesel oil on the nearby dead branches and leaves, and ignited it.

"Are you crazy!" Even Shen Ye's complexion changed drastically.

The blue flame ignited, climbed up the nearby big tree along the dead branches and vines, and then it took a while for the fire tree to light up.

Hearing the sound of burning leaves, old man Hu turned his head, his eyes were about to split open: "What the hell are you doing?!" That roar was mixed with shock and hatred that couldn't be ignored.

Although the mountains in summer are not as dry as in autumn, this barrel of diesel oil is enough to cause a forest fire.Seeing the towering giant trees being ignited one after another, the scorching flames were enough to burn the skin, old man Hu couldn't stop the anger in his heart no matter what.

Not to mention the loss and safety issues in the town, but this vast forest, where can these people desecrate?Once again, old man Hu felt regretful—he shouldn't have taken this job, or, he should have left this group of people to fend for themselves!

With the combustion aid of diesel, the moths added fuel to the fire, and after a while, everyone was surrounded by a sea of ​​flames.The birds screamed mournfully, and because it was night, they fled around aimlessly.The trunk was burning "crackling", so bright that people could not open their eyes.Some branches fell with a "click", and the flames they carried left a bloody scar on the person's arm.

No matter how surprised, the fact is doomed and cannot be changed—the fire is so fierce that it cannot be extinguished by manpower.At this moment, the moth is no longer a life-threatening crisis, but this blood-red sea of ​​flames is enough to swallow everyone.

"Go! Go back the same way!" Huang Jue was shouting.

"Which way should we go?" Someone was asking Old Man Hu while clutching his burned arm.

Old man Hu glared at the culprit viciously, turning a deaf ear to the panicked inquiries of the people around him.

Liu He's face was also not good-looking. He grabbed old man Hu by the collar and dragged him forcefully, regardless of the other party's hateful gaze. "To the stone house!" he yelled.The road ahead was unknown, but the valley where the hut had stood was deserted and the fire could not reach it.

In the gradually increasing fire, everyone ran away in embarrassment again.complain?I can't care less.

On the way, Xie Yi wanted to support the Huang family who was about to trip over a tree root, but Shen Ye pushed his arm over first, making a loud, muffled "dong".The man wrinkled his whole face in pain, but he had no choice but to thank Shen Ye, and then continued to run forward while clutching his chest.

Xia Yi in front was in the same situation as Le Wuyi. In order to avoid a dead branch falling from above, Xia Yi almost kicked the person beside him over.The man was unstable and almost hit the burning giant log.His eyes widened and he turned around and was about to roar, but when he saw a large section of crackling tree trunk falling to the ground, he finally shut his mouth angrily.

Xie Yi was amazed, it was the first time he saw Xia Yi help others so cruelly.Having said that, Xie Yi was also smiling when he saw someone behind him stretching out his hand to climb onto Shen Ye's shoulder, and before that person noticed the fallen tree branch, he kicked it hard.

Although this kick saved someone, it was not so gentle compared to Xia Yi.

More and more branches burned and fell, and finally, some old trees that were hollowed out were toppled one after another.The weight of these trees cannot be underestimated, making the trees that could have supported for a while fall down like dominoes.In this way, the speed at which the flame spreads is further intensified.

Le Wuyi suddenly pulled Xia Yi to move forward, and the next moment, the burning tree in front of him fell to the ground, crushing one person under him.The man didn't even utter a scream, and only had time to shake his limbs before he was crushed to death.

Avoiding the falling branches and trunks, and being careful of the flames, everyone could only disperse and flee in a panic, running towards the determined direction.

When the familiar open space appeared in front of him, even Xia Yize, who was calm and self-possessed, couldn't help but soften his feet.Le Wuyi coughed violently. He was smoked before, and now his throat was burning and painful when he breathed.

Shen Ye and Xie Yi also broke out from the flames one after another.Seeing Le Wuyi who was almost soft, Xie Yi raised Le Wuyi's arm with one hand, regardless of his embarrassment, and Xia Yi dragged his apprentices forward - before they reached the center of the valley, their safety could not be guaranteed.

Huang Jue, Huang Qi, Liu He, Liu Ziwei and others appeared in the fire one after another, and continued to run forward without stopping.

When everyone finally stopped, they found the stone house they fled in a panic.It's just that there was a moth in the dangerous hut before?The mountains and plains were blood red, and with such a fire feast, the group of moths were naturally excited to celebrate the last moment of their lives.

Those who survived appeared one after another, all of them were ashamed, sweat turned into mud, and there was no white spot on the whole face.

Those who survived the catastrophe did not care about being sad for their dead companions. Some people lay down directly in front of the stone house, coughing again and again;

Le Wuyi leaned against the wall and took a few sips of water, his cough finally eased a lot.He handed the kettle back to Xia Yize, and he saw that the other party had a black face like a cat, and the hair on his forehead was curled.Obviously it was time to laugh, but Le Wuyi raised his hand and couldn't help hugging him.

Xia Yi lowered her eyes, said nothing, and stretched out her arms to wrap Le Wuyi's shoulders.

Not only Xia Yi and Le Wuyi's mood has not calmed down, Xie Yi's throat is also uncomfortable.He sighed, and tightened his right hand, but it was held by Shen Ye.

"Are you okay?" There was concern in Shen Ye's eyes.

Xie Yi felt warm in his heart, and shook his head slightly: "It's okay."

Before the two of them had a detailed discussion, old man Hu was already standing in front of Liu He, his face was terribly gloomy.

"..." Liu He was silent for a moment, "I will pay."

Old man Hu bared his teeth and sneered: "Compensation? What compensation do you get?"

Outside the valley, countless giant trees were burning in flames, falling and collapsing.Birds wailed, animals screamed, and were reduced to ashes in the sea of ​​fire.The blood-red light dyed the night sky red tonight.

The author has something to say: I suddenly found that... the number of people is set to be a little less, this is a bento _(:зゝ∠)_
