In late June, the Sierra Nevada mountains begin to get hot and humid, and this is the time when you have to worry about forest fires at most.

However, a few years ago, a private firefighting team joined the industry to fight forest fires, and people were not taken seriously at first, but several forest fires were successfully extinguished without injuring a single member, which made the state government look sideways.

After that, things developed faster than anyone imagined, just in a few years, this firefighting team has expanded several times, and the entire task of preventing forest fires, every year they have to take over about 30 percent, and similarly, they also occupy more than 30 percent of the various funds allocated by the state government.

You know, every year in California because of forest fires caused by the loss of billions, and in order to prevent forest fires, the California government has to allocate nearly a billion dollars every year for the prevention and control of forest fires, even so, every year the spread of fires is widespread, causing heavy casualties.

With such a newly established firefighting team, the disaster caused by fires in the areas that need to be prevented and controlled is drastically reduced every year, which also makes the government invest more and more firefighting funds in them, which can reach hundreds of millions of dollars every year.

Forest fire prevention, this is a lesser-known field, likewise, there are huge benefits, more than a billion dollars of cake, every year by more than a dozen groups to divide up, including the Sierra Nevada along the fire stations, the state government forest fire prevention and control office, as well as various private fire brigades, and this one called Hoffman Forest Fire Prevention Company is rising rapidly with everyone's surprised eyes.

Whatever time it is, snatching cake from someone else's bowl will inevitably anger more vested interests, and the same is true of Hoffmann Forest Fire Prevention, which has offended a large number of people by squeezing more and more private fire protection agencies out of the industry while snatching more and more firefighting money every year.

The United States has always been a country that does not prohibit the manufacture of firearms, so I don't know how many dark nights, a group of private teams began to storm the ranch at the foot of the Sierra Nevada, but it is unimaginable that no matter how many people entered, there was no noise, and no one could get out alive.

Attacking by force is the most brutal method, but it is also the most direct method, and when it doesn't work, many people are forced to retreat.

Of course, there are also many people who are not reconciled, when the abnormal scene occurs, they obviously think of something, and then, more conspiracies and calculations began to strike, and the officials began to keep looking for trouble with the Hoffman Forest Fire Prevention Company, but when a law firm from New York was involved, the official vested interests had to be forced to put their hands and feet away, especially after their minions were completely cut off.

Although a lot of things have happened every year over the years, every time summer comes, the California government will sign a large contract with Hoffman Forest, don't think that only those people have official supporters, Hoffman Forests also has its own crisis public relations.

Today, just when the employees of Hoffman Mountain Forest Company were about to enter the mountain again, there was a thunderclap in the originally clear night sky, and everyone in Hoffman Mountain Forest Company felt trembling all over their bodies, the blood in their bodies began to boil, and a trace of hideous red light appeared in their faces, fortunately, there were no outsiders here at this time, otherwise, this strange appearance would have been called to the police.

At this time, two figures ran out of the house, led by Yuriko Koyama, and followed by the sandman.

Yuriko Koyama glanced at the courtyard, and then her eyes fell on the sandman, who immediately nodded, and the next moment, his whole body had turned into a cloud of wind sand, suddenly flew up in the night sky, and then began to patrol around the entire manor.

And in the manor, Yuriko Koyama personally helped everyone in the yard into the cave in the back mountain, and suddenly, she looked up and saw that a figure flew rapidly in the air hundreds of meters high, and the pink long skirt made a gust of wind.

Of course, Yuriko Koyama knew who the man was, so she just looked at it in a daze, and then continued to repeat her work, but before she could bring everyone into the cave behind the mountain, she heard another thunderclap in the air.

No, not a sound, I don't know when, the sky of the Sierra Nevada gathered one after another dark clouds, the heavy dark clouds pressed very low, standing at the foot of the mountain, you can see the lightning in the dark clouds constantly flickering, and then you can see the lightning directly towards a certain kind of mountain range.

Immediately after, I saw a figure in the mountain range rising directly, floating in the air in the face of countless lightning bolts.

And at the same time as seeing this figure, Yuriko Koyama clenched her fists tightly, and the figure was Ling Xiao.

The reason why Yuriko Koyama appeared here is because she is here to protect Ling Xiao's cultivation breakthrough, among all of Ling Xiao's subordinates, Ling Xiao's most trusted is Yuriko Koyama, and she is also the most powerful among the others, others such as Sandman, Giera, Skye, Raven, Barbara Morse, and Jessica Jones and others, their strength is much worse.

Yuriko Koyama doesn't need to go into the mountain, she stands in the manor at the foot of the mountain, which is the greatest support for Ling Xiao, just like what she is doing now, moving a desperate warrior to the cave in the back mountain, and then lining up in a special formation, an inexplicable force faintly gathers.

Ling Xiao's cultivation breakthrough, these people who are connected to her fate are naturally also affected, the closer they get, the greater the impact, and in the same way, the closer they get, the greater the help to Ling Xiao, which is likely to become the most critical help for him to break through the Jindan Realm.

In mid-air, Ling Xiao stood there so abruptly, there was no flying sword under his feet, and he did not use any external ability, this is an ability that he naturally obtained after breaking through the Jindan realm.

That's right, at this time, Ling Xiao had already broken through the Jindan realm in terms of cultivation, and in his inner belly dantian, an extremely mellow soft light golden pill was exuding a soft light, swallowing and absorbing a huge amount of heaven and earth vitality, and because of this, he was now facing the Jindan Heavenly Tribulation above his head.

Cultivating to this point, Ling Xiao has passed the human tribulation, and now he is facing the heavenly tribulation, the dark clouds above his head split thick lightning bolts, bombarding Ling Xiao's body like skin and bones, smashing the clothes on his body at the same time, but also revealing a body with a dark light.

The phoenix girl in the distance did not continue to move forward after surpassing the foot of the mountain, and she had a faint premonition in her heart that as long as she dared to take another step forward, then the thunder and lightning above her head would immediately split on her body, and even she might not be able to resist.

You must know that these naturally occurring thunderbolts are not the same as the thunderbolts drawn from the sky by Ling Xiao and Storm Girl, and the voltage of the lightning drawn down is generally between 100,000 volts and 1 million volts, and the voltage of these naturally generated thunderbolts ranges from 100 million volts to 1 billion volts.

That is, Ling Xiao has now broken through the Jindan Realm, otherwise with his previous cultivation, he would be thankful that he could survive a thunderbolt.

Of course, the thunder and lightning in the sky will inevitably have some spillage, but even this is not something that ordinary people can bear, such as the Phoenix Girl, if she is hit fiercely, she will inevitably be injured.

And Ling Xiao is different, compared to the Phoenix Girl, Ling Xiao's own wind and thunder true qi has been transformed into the six void qi of the circumference at this time, and the eight kinds of vitality of heaven, earth, mountains, wind, thunder, water and fire are strong and weak, and they can be naturally transformed into each other, and at this time, the vitality in Ling Xiao's body has all been transformed into thunder attributes.

The power of the first thunderbolt was not strong, and it directly absorbed it on Ling Xiao's body, and then the power of the thunder and lightning was stronger than the other, even Ling Xiao didn't dare to use his body to resist anymore, the Heavenly Soldier Battle Armor, the Yuan Magnetic Divine Light, and the two swords of Guanxiao Obscurity were taken out by him one by one, and while they began to resist the Heavenly Tribulation, they were also slowly refining their own essence and evolving themselves.
