The elven queen Saran confidently stood on the canopy of the trees, overlooking the hideous fire lizards crawling and roaring in the raging fire, and she calmly chanted a spell, using the magic power given by the gods to bless the elves' mediocre flying arrows.

This time the elven attack did not disappoint her, and the arrows that shimmered green successfully pierced the skin of the salamanders, and their tough skin was torn apart by these sharp arrows in an instant, and the power of magic pierced their hearts.

These behemoths that have been rampaging on the Blue Star for hundreds of years have finally met their opponents today, the protectors of nature who are dedicated to stopping them. Under the protection of the elves, the ecological environment of the Blue Star has finally been saved.

And in the face of the forest fire that was gradually burning, the elven queen Sharan turned to look at the clan, she beckoned to the three elders of the elf clan, and the three elders immediately followed Shalan over.

The four of them stood in a cross, their hands raised in front of their chests, they closed their eyes and whispered a chant, chanting the same incantation together.

"Sita Gaza, Moroado......"

As the incantation was chanted, the raging fire that had been gnawing at the trees suddenly weakened, and they slowly lowered their heads as if they were children who had done something wrong.

The elves possess a mystical power to control the elements of nature, and the power of fire is within their control, so for them, nothing is easier than stopping a forest fire.

Before Sharan and the three elders could finish chanting the incantation, the raging fire lit by the salamander had been completely extinguished, and only the black smoke flew through the dense forest into the sky, and then gradually dissipated......

————————

In contrast to the rising sons of the forest, the current situation of the sons of the earth is inevitably embarrassing.

Because of their own arrogance and arrogance, the Children of the Earth fell prey to the salamander, the most powerful species on the road to date, and the number of the Children of the Earth began to plummet under the pursuit of the salamander.

Originally, the village they had worked so hard to build was easily burned down by the salamanders, and the wooden houses could not withstand the attack of the salamanders, and since most of the children of the earth lived in groups, once the village was invaded by the salamanders, the villagers had little hope of surviving.

Under the ravages of salamanders, the number of children of the earth has dropped sharply, and they can only hide in the depths of the jungle or live along the river, and unlike their ancestors' stupid "bravery", the first thing the children of the earth think of when they see the salamander is finally not to rush up and kill it to prove their bravery, but to quickly run away and pick up a small life.

Another hundred years have passed, and the remnants of the children of the earth have formed a new community.

One of the larger colonies is located on the south side of a mountain range, and below the southern ridge is a large river that provides enough water for the Children of the Earth and prevents the salamanders from attacking, after all, the river can stop the fire from spreading even if the salamanders raid and invade.

Recuperating from the Sons of the Earth, they begin to reflect on the reasons why their race was unable to defeat the salamanders.

Is it that salamanders are too big?

Is it that the salamander's personality is too cunning?

Neither.

The Children of the Earth had defeated more ferocious and cunning beasts before, after all, the Children of the Earth were confident in their intelligence, they were able to communicate with words, they were able to use stone tools and bone tools, and they could even develop a very mature strategic plan, but the Salamander could not.

And the children of the earth, who were monsters larger than salamanders before, had seen it, and they had never been hunted down by these monsters to the point of near-destruction.

So what is it about the strength of salamanders?

The answer is clear – fire.

The fire of the salamander is the nemesis of the children of the earth, and a single blazing flame can burn a huge number of buildings.

The children of the earth discovered that once the flame burned, it could form a prairie fire in an instant, and it was not at all possible for human beings to resist.

Therefore, the reason why the salamander has terrifying lethality, and the reason why it can almost hunt down the children of the earth to extinction, is because of the flames.

With this in mind, the Children of the Earth decided to study fire!

They finally realized that flame was the most powerful weapon in heaven and earth, more powerful than any sharp stone spear or stone sword.

A small flame can destroy an entire village, but even the sharpest sword can kill only one person.

The wise tribal leader decreed that any son of the earth who could wield the power of fire would be worshipped by all as the god of fire, and his heir would inherit the name of the god of fire and be revered for generations to come.

At the call of their leader, the sons of the earth poured out of their nests, searching everywhere for a way to control the flames.

Some of them risked their lives to infiltrate the salamanders' habitat in an attempt to find out the secrets of the salamanders' arson. They did not dare or have the ability to hunt the living salamanders directly, so they went to find the corpses of the dead salamanders, and they studied the corpses of these rotting salamanders in an attempt to extract mysteries from them, but they never found anything......

The other children of the earth are less daring, they don't go to the salamander's habitat, they are better at observing life, and they know that the source of the fire is not only the salamander.

They noticed that every time a rainstorm came, a light would fall from the dark clouds in the sky, and this light would converge with the tops of some trees, and the tops of the trees would be ablaze.

"The secret of the flame, at the top of the trees, on the tops of those towering trees, there must be something that can ignite the flame!"

One of the sons of the earth asserted,

"Maybe it's the fruit of the flame, maybe it's the flame itself, it must be like this, every time the flame burns from the tip of these trees!"

However, when the other Children of the Earth risked their lives to climb the treetops of the tallest trees in the forest and cut down most of them, they found that the treetops did not provide them with fire.

Whether they peel the treetops apart or hold them up for the stars in the sky to shine on, the treetops just can't burn under the dark clouds like they did before a thunderstorm.

The frustrated Children of the Earth were unwilling to fail like this, and one of the persistent Children of the Earth climbed up a nearby hill with a treetop on a thunderstorm night, and he raised the treetops with both hands and shouted at the dark clouds in the sky: "Give me fire!" Give me the flame! ”

His sincerity finally moved the dark clouds, and that dazzling light really fell from the sky.

Bang!

To his disappointment, the dazzling light did not bring him flames, and nothing happened after the light shone - except that the son of the earth's body turned pitch black and fell straight to the ground, stopping to breathe......

The Children of the Earth pursued the flames for decades, during which time no one was able to penetrate the mysteries of the flames. In the pursuit of the flames, more and more children of the earth paid with their lives.

Either they were killed by salamanders, or they fell down from climbing trees, and some lucky ones managed to cut down the treetops, and finally they were inevitably killed by lightning......

But the Children of the Earth are not discouraged, they firmly believe that the fire is the key to their evolution, and only by mastering the flame can they have greater strength, and they can defeat the salamanders and become the masters of the road again.

Until one day, a son of the earth named Quart unraveled the mystery of the fire on a crisp autumn day.

On this day, the bored Quart wandered up a path outside the village, and he walked farther and farther to a deserted mountain.

This barren mountain is strange, full of black stones, there are no tall trees here, only the most tenacious weeds can grow here.

The idle and sullen Quart had nothing to do, so he picked up the black stone on the ground and threw it around, and at the same time made a middle two sound in his mouth.

"Whoosh!"

“piu！”

"Suffer death! Salamanders! ”

And among the seventy or eighty times he threw stones, suddenly the black stone rubbed against the other stones, bursting out with an undetectable spark, and this time the spark happened to fall on a pile of withered hay, igniting a dazzling flame.

At first, Quart couldn't believe his eyes, he thought that the weeds in front of him couldn't catch fire, but when a heavy smell of smoke came, Quart finally believed it.

"I lit the fire! I lit the fire! ”

"I created the flame!"

"I am the god of fire! I am the god of fire! ”

……

The excited Quart jumped and shouted happily around the burning dead grass, as if he had seen his own statue erected in the village, as if he had seen his descendants enshrined by the sons of the earth.

But after the excitement, Quart didn't lose his mind, and he knew he had to think carefully about how the flame was burning.

This was not difficult for him, because in the process of throwing stones again and again, Quart had discovered that the friction of the two stones would burst into tiny sparks, and it was this spark that splashed into the grass and brought the flames.

He wisely plucked up a bunch of dead grass, picked up two more stones, and kept colliding and rubbing the two stones until the sparks from the two stones splashed into the dead grass, and then "whew" and ignited the dead grass.

"Sure enough......"

Quart said excitedly,

"I've mastered how to light a flame, I'm ...... I'm Vulcan! ”

————————

Excited, Quart returns to the village and tells the people the secret of the flames, and the leader of the Children of the Earth keeps his promise to make Quart, who brought the flames, the god of fire.

Under Quart's teachings, the Children of the Earth soon learned to use fire, which was a great revolution for the Children of the Earth, and it was enough to change their fate.

After having fire, the children of the earth first have enough self-protection ability, for the beasts on the continent, the flame is often the embodiment of the salamander, and the deterrence of the salamander is also applicable in front of the beast. When they saw the flames, these beasts automatically thought of salamanders, and they no longer dared to offend the village of the Children of the Earth, which invisibly provided a safe guarantee for the Children of the Earth.

In addition, the flames also brought cooked food to the Children of the Earth, who found that the food cooked by the Fire was more palatable and reduced the growth of bacteria, which invisibly increased the survival rate of the Children of the Earth.

After solving the problem of food and clothing, the Children of the Earth began to make great strides under the protection of the flames, and they used the flames to fire pottery, and in the hundreds of years that the flames were skillfully used, the Children of the Earth quickly climbed the technology tree, and the strength of the race increased dramatically.

And the wonderful thing is that during the period when the Children of the Earth were concentrating on development, the number of salamanders began to gradually decrease, so that the number of natural enemies that posed the greatest threat to the Children of the Earth decreased, which gave the Children of the Earth a great opportunity to develop.

Of course, this is all due to the elves, and it is the elves' counterattack to protect nature that has caused the reduction of the natural enemies of the children of the earth, the salamanders.

It's just that the people of the earth don't know this, and they attribute it all to their luck.

Time has advanced again, and the number of Children of the Earth has gradually returned to the same level as before, if not more.

Today's children of the earth have regained their self-confidence and are no longer as hideaway as they once were.

They expanded their villages not only along the great river basins, but also along plains, grasslands, and mountains.

As long as there is no habitat for salamanders nearby, they dare to set up camp here.

Five hundred kilometers west of the east coast of the northern waters of the Blue Star, there is a village of the Children of the Earth, and their village is called Conkamaka, which means "village of the mountain wind".

Zaren is a master potter in Concamaka, and his job is to burn pottery, which is also a skill that the children of the earth have stumbled upon, and no one thought that the soil would be so magically transformed under the blessing of the flames.

But Zaren didn't plan to burn ceramics that day, although he still had a large backlog of orders from nearby villages, and he had dug up a large pile of red stones from the back hill the other day, which he was dealing with today.

He carefully breaks up the red stones and removes the unwanted debris, all of which is manual and time-consuming.

Two of his apprentices and his three sons stood by him as they carried out his mission, but the children did not understand Zaron's intentions, and they felt that the red stone was of little value.

"Dad, what the hell is this? What are we doing? ”

Zaren's eldest son, Bol, asked, tilting his head, his eyes full of doubt.

"It's something very important." Zaren replied perfunctorily.

"Is it more important than our orders and reputation?" The eldest apprentice, Vavahar, said, "Master, our order has been delayed for three days, and the customer will be angry if it continues to be delayed." ”

"Let them wait! What we're doing now is much more important than firing cooking utensils for them! Zaron was visibly impatient.

Seeing that Zaren was angry, the children all fell silent, and they all knew that Zaren was a very grumpy fellow, and his personality was like a burning furnace.

Annoyed Zaron, and the result was no different than running into a hungry salamander.

Fortunately, Zaren did not continue to get angry, but worked with his head down, and under his leadership, everyone quickly completed the conditions for the broken red stone.

Zaron then lit the stove and urged Bol to bring more firewood.

"Go, get me a lot of firewood, quick!" Zaren urged.

"Understood! Dad! ”

Bol hastened to do so, he did not dare to disobey his father's orders.

And when the firewood was in place, Zaron began to light the stove, this time very seriously, even more seriously than he had fired ceramics before.

"When the fire starts, you guys will keep me away, the last time there was an explosion here, and it almost cost me an arm......"

Zaren turned back to the children and said, with a subtle hint of fear flashing in his eyes, and the children obediently stood in the back.

Soon the flames were burning and the temperature in the room continued to rise, and Zaron threw the red stone into a special stove and increased the heat to cook it.

"It's too hot, isn't it, Dad?" Bol asked apprehensively, he had never seen Zaron burn a fire to such a hot temperature.

However, Zaren shook his head and said, "It's not enough! Far from it! ”

He turned and walked to the side, picked up a ceramic jar that contained some black liquid, and Zaren poured the black liquid into the pot towards the flames.

Call!

The flames rose into the sky, and the temperature in the room rose to an unprecedented level again, and the children had never seen such a fierce fire before, and they were so frightened that they scattered in all directions.

Zaron, on the other hand, looked excitedly at the red stone in the flames, the strange stone was now redder than before, and at the same time it seemed to melt, and began to get softer and softer.

"Great! You hard bones! I've finally made you soft! You damn hard bones! ”

Zaron fearfully took out the strange stone from the furnace that had become soft and glowed, and threw it on the stone slab, and then swung his hammer at the red-hot stone.

Syllable!

Syllable!

Syllable!

The children who ran out of the house were attracted by the screeching sound and ran towards the house again.

"What happened? Dad? Sounds dangerous......"

"Master, what's wrong?"

"Run, master! I feel like danger is coming! ”

"What the hell is this red-hot stone? It doesn't feel like it's a good thing......"

……

In the face of the children's questioning, Zaren had an unconcealed smile on his face.

"As you will soon know, this red stone is a gift from heaven, it is no ordinary stone, it is the bones of the gods! I call it the God's Bone! ”

————————

After a day and a night of forging, Zaron used the strange red stone, what he called the God's Bone, to create a sharp sword that was different from the previous swords made of stone, bone, and wood by the Children of the Earth, which could shine on its own.

Zaron's sons and apprentices were very curious, and they came over to observe the sword, but Zaron did not give it to them, but cherished it in his hand.

"This is something that can change the history of the children of the earth, not something that you hairy children can hold."

Zaren said with a sneer, and then walked towards the room.

Soon he pulled out something from the room, which was leather armor made from the fur of salamanders.

This leather armor was only made by the Children of the Earth from the dead body of the Salamander, and the Children of the Earth still do not have the ability to hunt the Salamander, not only because the Salamander can shoot blazing flames, but also because the Son of the Earth's weapons cannot penetrate the skin of the Salamander.

No, the leather armor made of salamander skin is worn on the body, and the children of the earth are invulnerable and not afraid of the invasion of fire, so this leather armor is quite valuable, and it is considered the most expensive treasure in the village.

But now Zaron hung the precious leather armor on the tree, as if he wanted to exhibit it.

The eldest son, Boer, looked at this leather armor curiously, tilted his head and asked, "Dad, what do you want to ......?"

Before the question could be asked, Zaren had already swung the sword in his hand.

Zheng!

A sharp voice sounded, and the leather armor of the salamander was actually cut into two pieces by Zaren's sword!

"What?!" The eldest son, Boer, was directly stunned, and half of the words that he didn't ask were stuck in his throat, and the other sons and apprentices were speechless on the spot and couldn't say anything.

Witnessing the sharpness of the sword, Zaren couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh, and at this moment he was even happier than when he found a box of gold and silver treasures.

"I made it! I did it! ”

Zaren roared,

"The bones of the gods are really extraordinary, and the bones of the gods are really strong!"

Bol forcibly calmed down, shook his head, walked up to his father, and asked in a low voice, "Father, what do you mean?" As we can see, the bones of the gods are indeed extremely sharp, so what do we do next? We're going to ...... Mass production of such weapons? ”

"Of course not, silly boy." Zaren patted Bol on the shoulder and whispered, "Next, you guys go and use all the money in the family to buy salamander leather armor, and go buy six good salamander leather armor...... Then I'm going to build five more of these weapons, weapons forged from God's bones, and we're going to arm ourselves and arm ourselves with all our might. ”

"Buy salamander leather armor? But what do we want that thing for, Dad......" Bol asked, scratching the back of his head, "our family are all pottery masters, and we are not hunters, so what are we buying these precious leather armor for?" Besides, there is no savings left at home, and if the rest of the money buys six pairs of leather armor, we will be poor! ”

"You stupid boy, do you think we will become poor eggs if we have the bones of a god?"

Zaren simply held his forehead, how the hell did he give birth to such a stupid son.

At this time, Zaren's second son, Yingdu, came over and asked, "Father, we now have the sharpest weapon, so you want the eldest brother to buy the strongest armor, right?" ”

"It's still Yingdu smart." Zaren nodded, "That's right, that's it. With the bones of the gods and the salamander leather armor, we will be an invincible army! ”

"And what's next?" Yingdu asked with some concern, "Father, what should we do next?" You want to get us fully armed, and then what? ”

Hearing this, a sneer flashed across Zaron's face.

He waved the sword in his hand and said in a deep voice: "I will take you to break into the habitat of the salamanders and slaughter these evil creatures, and I will let the whole earth know that our sons of the earth are still brave and invincible after all!! ”
