It is difficult to light a fire in a moist grassland, and the moisture contained in the blades of grass makes it quite difficult to ignite. Of course, it would be another matter if the mage had sprinkled the medicinal powder in advance, and almost as the cheese spoke, the red flames rose into the air with thick black smoke, turning into a violent barrier. On the other side, the black smoke that burst out of the human form hit the wall without hesitation, and the stench and crackling sound of insects that only make when they are cooked flooded at the same time, making people subconsciously want to stay away.

"Don't leave the ignition to me, I almost set my hair on fire!" said Kelas, grabbing back, but stopped in front of Cheese. The wizard who is casting spells needs protection, and the wall of fire will most likely not be able to completely stop the enemy's attack, and if Cheese falls, everyone will be in danger.

"Then you have to go and tell Batu, I don't care who lit the fire, just light the fire. The mage said, rising from the ground, the nearby figures were already tied up, most of them had burst, and there was no need for him to continue casting spells. Besides, just as the cat goblin feared, he didn't think that some flames would be able to stop what flew out of the humanoid form.

"The fire won't last long. It's summer, there's very little dead grass, there's no strong wind, and there's a river next to it, and it won't be long before the fire starts to get smaller. "Wildfires have always been the most dangerous natural disasters on the grassland, and every grassland person needs to master the knowledge and ability to fight wildfires, just like people born by rivers have to know how to water, and people born by mountains have to know how to deal with mountain fog and animals. Because of this, Batu is quick to point out that the wall of fire that Cheese has built will not last, and that it will cease to exist when the grass poured on the powder is burned.

"Then you don't have to worry, since our wizard can control the grass stalks to tie those things, controlling the flames must be a piece of cake, right?" Kailas shrugged at Batuu, looking unimpressed, the mage's spell just now was not seen by others, but he saw it carefully, and he could influence such a large area in such a short period of time, the wizards in gray robes did have their own uniqueness. Only, will things really be as easy as the cat goblin thinks?

"I don't think so. The expression on Cheese's face was a little embarrassed, he didn't mean to tear down Kailas's table, but he couldn't lie in this scene now, "Fire and grass are two completely different things, because there is no substance in the world called fire at all, and as for the so-called fire element, it is another thing. In short, I can't make a flame out of thin air, and I can't make it live without fuel. If Batou says that those fires won't last long, I think we'd better be prepared. ”

Kailas's face crumpled, and he now understood why wizards weren't likable. They can always surprise you when you think they can't do anything, but they can still surprise you when you think they can do something for granted. "Alright, well, looks like we're going to have to figure out how to fight bugs. ”

Unfortunately, the other two except Atta were not listening to him. Anyone who has faced a similar situation knows that when your opponent is big or small, it can often get quite difficult. You can use a scimitar to kill a wolf that sneaks up on livestock, but you can't cut a diseased gadfly. Even the magic sword Flaclague does not have the ability to fight against a large number of flying insects the size of fingernails. But this is not absolute, just as fire and smoke can block them, things that are the opposite of fire have a similar effect.

"Come to the river!" the mage's voice called to his companion, and he pulled up one side of his robe slightly, revealing his whole darker arm, which was a little yellowish compared to that of the Greylion Man, but pale, whose skin had not been exposed to much sun and wind compared to that of the Prairie Man. This is also something that cannot be helped, whether it is the depth of skin color, the quality of personality, or even the good and evil of human nature, these concepts are relatively indispensable. If everyone in this world is the same skin color, then there is no need to compare, and if everyone does and does is a standard, there is no need to be moral. Unfortunately, when a child learns the first word, he learns to distinguish the world, black and white, beauty and ugliness, and loses the qualification to live in chaos. And in a world that is not chaotic, everything needs to be found in the swing at both ends. For the few people now, they are flanked by those black mist-like flying insects and rivers that may hide dangers, compared to parasites, they do not die immediately, and the mage has a way to remove them from their bodies.

"When the fire was extinguished, he jumped into the river. Try to stay with me and don't get washed away. "Seeing the gray-green water of the lower reaches of the river, Cheese's reminder became quite noticeable. After saying this, he stretched his entire left arm into the water, and the magic light in his eyes condensed, and there was still some time before the flames were extinguished, and he could still do what he could.

The flames on the grass gradually thinned out, and the black smoke caused by the burning gradually dissipated, leaving a small patch of soil covered with ashes. The flying insects that were still powerful just now, only a few scattered at this time, still looking for their direction in the smoke and dust. This can't help but make people think that their vigilance is not too strong, the fire just now has destroyed all the things that fly out of the human form, and can no longer pose a threat to them. However, this confusion did not last for a few seconds, as the ashes began to tremble, and the larger flying insects that crawled out of the ashes shook their bodies, shaking off the dirt from their bodies, and their charred wings were rapidly growing back with the power of the embers. The annoying buzz sounded again after the first flying insect climbed the grass stalk and lifted back into the air.

"Jump. Cheese called out to his companion in the most concise way possible. The first to jump into the water was Batuu, followed by Atta, and Kailas's eyes were always partly on the mage, as Cheese himself had not yet meant to go into the water. However, considering the magical glow in the latter's eyes, which was unusually clear during the day, and the sound of approaching wings in the back of his head, the cat goblin jumped into the water.

On the shore, now only the mage and the swarm of insects approaching him, this is what he needs, some things are not usable in the presence of his companions, and now taking this opportunity, the light in his eyes quickly turns to another color. A few seconds later, when several people, including Cheese, had risen from the water, the mage already had a name in his heart.
