Thick smoke soared into the sky and filled the col. With the flow of the wind, it was inevitable in the col. Li Chen immediately felt a wave of heat coming over. With the thick smoke, even though his mouth and nose were covered with a wet cloth, he still choked and coughed repeatedly. The few of them were also lying on the ground. They were all martial artists. After covering their mouths and noses with a wet cloth, they immediately felt much better. They could not help but admire Li Chen.
They didn't know that a wet cloth could isolate the smoke, and they, who were battle maniacs, wouldn't have thought of such a simple method as using flames.
The wolf pack was in a more miserable state. Fire snakes danced about, and sometimes the flames were several meters high. It was like a deadly demon from hell devouring everything.
Waves of flames surged towards the pack of wild wolves, drowning them in an instant. Their bodies were covered in thick hair, and they were flammable. It could be said that they would burn when they encountered fire. The exit of the col. instantly turned into a large fireball.
The wolves were entangled with each other, and only a few of them escaped, but they still could not escape the fate of being burned to death.
The wild wolf cried out miserably. For a moment, miserable cries echoed in the valley. It was heart-wrenching and made people shudder.
As time passed, the fire became more and more intense. The wolf group no longer cried out in pain. They were completely annihilated. Thinking about it, it made sense. With such a huge fireball, even if he stepped on himself, he could kill them.
A single fire had killed hundreds of wolves, and everyone in the Niu Family Village admired Li Chen. For the first time, he wondered if he and the others were simple-minded and brawny.
After this experience, they had seen that sometimes, a person's brain could not be compared to a person's!
No wonder everyone says that educated people are smart and have to be careful when they encounter them. Otherwise, if they sell you, you'll have to count the money for them.”
The col. was an enclosed space. The fire was blazing, and the scorching flames caused the temperature in the col. to reach an extremely high level in a short period of time.
The fire raged, and the air seemed to be burning. In less than two minutes, their clothes were slightly dry and curly, and their hair gradually shortened. Due to the lack of oxygen in the high-temperature mountain valley, everyone felt that it was difficult to breathe. Fortunately, they were all martial artists and had strong bodies. They could still hold on.
Li Chen was more miserable. He was just a mortal, so how could he bear it? Breathing became more and more difficult, and his consciousness began to blur. Even though his face was blackened by the thick smoke, one could still see his purple face. His life force was weak, and if he waited any longer, he would probably die here.
Li Chen had already passed out. Niu Wen and the other man who were lying beside Li Chen were shocked when they noticed Li Chen's strange behavior. The two of them grabbed Li Chen's wrist almost at the same time and forcefully gathered the remaining True Qi in their bodies, slowly injecting it into their bodies.
Time seemed to have passed for a long time, but it also seemed to have passed very quickly.
Hearing the rustling sound beside him, Li Chen opened his blurry eyes from his coma. After a while, he realized that he was no longer hiding in the mountain valley. His eyes turned and found that he was lying on a pile of grass, surrounded by lush primitive trees.
"Where is this place?"
"Brother Scholar, you're awake." Seeing that Li Chen was awake, a group of people gathered in front of him.
"Scholar Bro, are you alright?"
Everyone in the Niu Family Village looked at Li Chen in admiration. If it wasn't for the fact that Scholar Brother had set them on fire, they would have been buried in the wolf's mouth by now.
Now, other than some burns, none of the nine people were seriously injured. They were just exhausted from consuming too much True Qi. All of this was thanks to Li Chen.
Li Chen grinned. He wanted to get up but felt a slight pain all over his body. He looked out and found some herbs on his body. The green herbs looked quite dazzling.
Since he didn't get up, Li Chen gave up. He laid back down and smiled bitterly."Am I injured?"
Niu Wen nodded and said softly," Don't worry, Brother Scholar. It's just some burns. I guarantee that it'll be as good as new in less than three days after applying this medicine. I guarantee that there won't even be a scar."”
Seeing that everyone's expressions did not seem to be fake, other than the cold and numb wounds, Li Chen was relieved.
"It's good that you're fine. Haha! It was good that he was fine. Hahahaha, I, Li Chen, am always so unlucky.”Li Chen laughed loudly. He had survived a calamity, but there was also a trace of self-mockery.
"How did we escape?" After laughing for a while to ease his nervous emotions, Li Chen was also concerned about what happened after he fainted.
He had fainted too early, and he could not see because of the thick smoke. He was dizzy and could only vaguely hear the wolf's howl. He did not know anything else.
As soon as he finished speaking, Niu Ze excitedly rushed over and grabbed Li Chen's hand. He looked at Li Chen with worship and devoutness as he shouted,"Scholar bro, you're really amazing. Do you know that you almost set Cang Lang Mountain on fire? I really admire you! I've decided that you're my idol. I want to be a coquettish man like you.”
"Scholar Bro, just accept me!”The little guy was smiling cheekily, completely unaware that Scholar Brother's face was getting darker and darker. He was still chattering non-stop, as if Li Chen was really the most coquettish man on the continent.
Idol? Coquettish? Burn Cang Lang Mountain? I'll take you in! Li Chen's forehead was full of black lines. He just wanted to give him a kick on the forehead.
He glared at Niu Ze and decided to ask Niu Wen. Only Niu Wen was reliable here.
Niu Wen kicked Niu Ze and scolded,"If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute.”Then, he cupped his fists and said," Brother Scholar, your fire can be said to be earth-shattering. It's all thanks to Brother Scholar that our lives are safe. We don't need to thank you for your kindness. We'll remember it."”
When did I burn Mount Surging Waves? Li Chen was dizzy from their words and hurriedly asked,"Wait, what do you mean by earth-shattering? Wasn't it just setting a fire? How could it be world-shaking?”
"Hehe! Scholar Bro still doesn't understand.”Niu Wen smiled and pointed into the distance.
Following Niu Wen's finger, Li Chen took a deep breath when he saw it clearly. He was dumbfounded and could not speak.”
"Oh my god, I really set Azure Gem Mountain on fire! Wasn't it just setting a fire in the col. Why was it outside?”
Looking into the distance, he could see the traces of the fire everywhere. A large area of the forest had turned into ashes, and the ground was charred black, with a charred smell. From afar, some of the trees that had not fallen were still burning tenaciously.
This guy must have burned dozens of kilometers of forest! Tsk tsk, if this was on Earth, would he have to be sentenced to a thousand years in prison to make up for it?!
Li Chen grinned and turned to look at Niu Wen.""It can't be caused by me? I don't remember there being any trees in the valley.”
"Of course. Scholar Bro, you were unconscious at that time so you didn't know, hehe! Your fire not only killed thousands of wild wolves, but also accidentally set the forest on fire because some of the wild wolves ran out of the entrance of the valley with fire on their bodies. Haha! Now, our danger has been lifted. The wild beasts outside have long changed direction and ran away when they saw the flames.”Niu Wen laughed happily, and the others were also very happy.
Beast Tide-Thinking of the endless wild beasts that roared like a flood, Li Chen couldn't help but shiver.
"Mom. Fortunately, he had unintentionally set fire to it and killed two birds with one stone!”He couldn't help but secretly rejoice.
With the crisis resolved, Li Chen felt much more relaxed. It seemed that they could continue to live. It seemed that the True Martial Continent would not have any problems with fewer trees. However, as a staunch conservationist, Li Chen still felt quite regretful about burning such a large forest.
Without the threat to their lives, everyone relaxed and felt tired. Therefore, they did not rush to travel and lay on the ground to rest.
The sky was blue and as smooth as a mirror. The white clouds that slowly passed by blocked the sunlight, and the hazy sunlight looked gorgeous through the clouds.
After finding a comfortable position to lie on the ground, Li Chen held a piece of cooked meat in his hand and chewed on it. The meat was the hind leg of a wolf. It was said to be the meat of a wolf king.
The wolf king meat tasted fresh and was much softer and chewy than beef. Li Chen was also starving. He ate it heartily, and his mouth was full of oil. Then, he drank two mouthfuls of Hundred Herb Wine to soothe his throat.
After eating and drinking to his heart's content, he lay on the soft grass with a grass root in his mouth.
It was a pleasure to be able to look at the blue sky and white clouds quietly after a life and death ordeal. It felt especially peaceful.
Thinking back to his experiences over the past few days, he had experienced things that he could never experience in his lifetime. Although he was aggrieved, it was also colorful.
Li Chen suddenly thought of the tide of wild beasts and shuddered. At a quick glance, there were endless wild beasts. Li Chen really could not understand how a seemingly quiet mountain forest could accommodate so many wild beasts.
"Why would so many wild beasts gather together to escape? "Now that there's no danger, Li Chen's curiosity can't help but grow.
"Hey, A Wen, do you know why such a huge beast tide appeared?”
Niu Wen's face suddenly tensed up, but he immediately relaxed. He looked at Li Chen and said,""I thought you knew."
"I know about the beast tide. In my hometown, I've only seen a large migration of animals. The scene was quite shocking, but compared to such a spectacular scene of ten thousand beasts galloping, it's nothing.”
"Oh, I see. There were no martial arts practitioners or demonic beasts in Brother Scholar's hometown, so it was not surprising that he did not know. In fact, the occurrence of a beast tide is very simple for the people of the True Martial Continent, especially those who rely on the mountain to live. Everyone will experience it once or twice in their lives.”
Niu Wen nodded in understanding. He paused for a moment and said in a solemn tone,"The Ten Thousand Beast Tide is nothing more than a battle between great demons.”
