Ancient Sword II: The Tracking of the Fierce Mountain

Chapter 180: The Dream

A can of diesel oil did not splash on the said living person, but on the animals and plants all over the mountain, causing a fatal disaster.

The fire burns blazingly without end.

Some people looked at Liu He and hesitated to speak, while others looked panicked and looked at the expressionless crowd, speechless.The four of Shen Ye also stood on the side like the background board and did not speak. Such a situation is not suitable for them to interject.

After all, Old Man Hu is the invited guide, and everyone should not treat him too harshly, just watching him sitting on the side smoking, his gloomy gaze is enough to kill everyone present - this is his greatest calmness so far.

Facing the eyes of the enemy, everyone's heart was beating.This old man Hu regards them as enemies, so can he let him take care of them for the rest of the journey?

Of course Liu He knew that the current embarrassing situation was all because of him, so he took the lead in breaking the silence and said: "I will send people back, and I will leave the fire and subsequent compensation and repairs to them."

Under the ferocious red light, Liu He's face returned to calm.The toughness before was gone, and the one standing here was the prudent Liu family young master again.

"Heh..." Old man Hu didn't appreciate it, he exhaled a puff of smoke, but turned his gaze to the burning forest, and taunted after a long time, "Can you afford it?"

Liu He's tone was sincere: "Do my best." He paused and said bluntly, "What's more, if we didn't do this just now, all of us would have to die."

"..." Old man Hu didn't refute, and silently put the cigarette holder in his mouth.

"If it was you, can you think of other ways? Or..." Before Liu He finished speaking, Old Man Hu spit out his cigarette holder and interrupted with a curse: "Ge Laozi's! Just want to say, old man, I owe you a life?"

Liu He shook his head and said, "No one owes anyone else, and I am also at fault for this matter. It's just that among this mountain and us, I chose ourselves."

Old man Hu just felt his heart hurt, but he couldn't refute.He had endured it for so long, and it turned out that there was still this trouble waiting for him.

Does he want to die?of course not.So can he still have the confidence to blame Liu He?Of course not.

Old man Hu was discouraged, exhausted all his strength, and sat on the ground slumped: "Just pay, I can't control it." I only hope that the fire can be smaller and people outside can find out sooner.

This valley was completely destroyed, so I don't know how the forest outside the valley is.If the fire swept across the entire mountain range, even if the Liu family was as rich as it was, they would not be able to afford it.

After appeasing old man Hu, Liu He immediately assigned candidates who would return to Yonghe Town tomorrow, and told the rest of the people to hurry up and rest.Liu Chen's entire arm was burned, and it was obviously not suitable for him to continue walking.There is also a Huang family who threw away their backpacks in order to escape. Resources are scarce on the mountain, so obviously this person cannot go together.

So just after entering the mountain, the group of people who didn't even see a corner of the snow-capped mountain, there were only 25 people left who could continue to move forward.This was a blow to the head, and it really knocked everyone out of spirit.

However, no matter what, the vicinity of the stone house is safe, and everyone can only fall asleep with the sound of crackling and crackling on their pillows.

Beyond the flames, several black clouds flew in one after another, rushed into the sea of ​​flames and disappeared.

"With such a big fire, maybe the moths in the entire mountain range have come." Xie Yi leaned on Shen Ye's shoulder and said softly.

Shen Ye rested with his eyes closed, but one hand was wrapped around Xie Yi's waist. Hearing this, he didn't even open his eyes: "Maybe."

"A Ye, do you think Liu He..."

"Go to sleep," Shen Ye interrupted, "He always has his reasons."

"..." Xie Yi sighed, "Okay."

Xie Yi obediently closed his eyes, and what flashed in his mind was still the fire.The flames burned, burned, and devoured the forest, until finally only the bare land remained.It's just that the flame didn't go out, but formed a wall.The wall burns to the black sky.

Xie Yi found himself standing by the wall of fire, the flames rolled and jumped in front of him, his skin was stinging badly.It's just that he didn't mean to leave.There was darkness in front of the flame, and the same was true behind it.

why is he hereXie Yi's head was in a daze, and he couldn't figure it out.

Suddenly, the flames in front of him trembled, and a charred hand stretched out from the wall of flames.

Xie Yi's pupils shrank suddenly, and it was too late to back away, the next moment, his throat was already restrained by that hand.That hand was full of the stench of rotting corpses, even though it was burned by the flames, it was still clearly audible.

His body flew into the air, and the smell of cooked flesh wafted out. Xie Yi endured the severe pain, but he couldn't break the hand that was fettering his throat.He looked at the distorted human figure in the flames, which should be the part of the human head, with a mouth that spanned the entire cheek being split open, as if smiling.

Xie Yi didn't know how long he had been struggling, and he didn't know why he didn't lose consciousness. He saw the black shadow in the flames smiling, savoring his pain.

"Xie Yi?" A familiar voice suddenly came from the darkness, and the corner of the mouth that was split in the flame paused and pursed in displeasure.

"Xie Yi?" There was another sound, the strength in the neck disappeared, and the red light dissipated.

Xie Yi opened his eyes in a daze, and what he saw was Shen Ye's gentle face. "Are you awake?" the man said softly.

Xie Yi blinked, obviously not awake: "A Ye?" His voice was still a little sticky, and he closed his eyes and rubbed against Shen Ye's shoulder for a while.

Shen Ye just felt that all the unhappiness disappeared.But even though he was reluctant, he still kissed the corner of Xie Yi's mouth and said: "It's time to get up." Everyone else started to prepare, but Xie Yi rarely slept late without being affected.

Xie Yi looked sleepy, and finally sat up straight: "Sorry, I slept too soundly."

Seeing that Xie Yi was extremely tired, Shen Ye couldn't help asking: "Tired?"

Xie Yi took a deep breath, and when he opened his eyes again, he was already sober: "Not tired. What about them?"

Shen Ye stretched out a finger, while Le Wuyi and Xia Yi were testing the temperature of the surface not far away.

The raging fire has been extinguished, and at this time, the morning light is faint, under the dim sky, the scorched land is accompanied by steaming gray smoke, wreckage is everywhere, and it is desolate.It’s just that under the ashes, sparks keep rolling down—obviously, no matter how high the altitude is and how low the night temperature is, some places are not suitable for walking in the near future.

Le Wuyi and Xia Yi walked together, shaking the pile of ashes from time to time, talking and laughing.

Xie Yi was helpless: "Why didn't you wake me up earlier?" Wuyi and Yize were asked to help, but he was resting here, no matter how he thought about it, he felt sorry.He didn't know that in the eyes of others, Le Wuyi and Xia Yi were both his and Shen Ye's subordinates, so he only asked those two people to help from the beginning.As for Shen Ye?If it wasn't for the fact that he was about to leave, he would still be reluctant to wake Xie Yi up.

"Let's go and have a look too." Xie Yi stood up.

Shen Ye stuffed water and food into Xie Yi's hands first: "You rest for a while, I'll go and see." Xie Yi's face was a little pale, and he didn't know if it was because he didn't have a good rest last night.

Xie Yi was a little amused, and did not reject Shen Ye's kindness: "I see."

Shen Ye nodded in satisfaction, and they walked towards Xia Yi.

Around the clearing, everyone abandoned last night's slump, regained their vitality, and clamored for a road with a suitable temperature.Sometimes, if one is not careful, he will be choked all over his head and face by the exploding soot, but he just laughs and doesn't care.

Xie Yi coughed a few times, then rinsed his mouth with water, frowned and spat out a mouthful of blood in a corner that no one noticed - the neck was in burning pain.
