Chapter 40: A Fire

Li Yiheng held the crossbow machine, Qing Wanjin held the fire, and the two came to the place where the soldiers mined the thorn strips, which was a thorn net located in the west of the Qing city, which was exactly the opposite direction of Li Yiheng's entry into this world.

When the two of them and Xiao Ji came here, they knew that what the patriarch said before was relatively conservative, Li Yiheng saw that the thorns on the thorn strips here were more dense, and the thickness intersected, and almost every one of them had the corpses of Qing soldiers on them, and the corpses had been sucked dry by these thorns, and the tattered clothes were fluttering in the wind, and the face maintained a painful expression before death, looking like the Shura field of hell.

"It's a pity that these soldiers didn't die in the war against Luo Niu, but were killed by these thorn nets used as protection. Li Yiheng looked at the corpses of these soldiers and said.

Qing Wanjin also has the same feeling, once these thorns are contaminated with blood, they will become even more crazy, and I am afraid that they will be the second biggest enemy after He Luo Niu.

Li Yiheng suddenly remembered a question and said, "Mr. Qing, you are old, you must know a lot of information about thorns, what do these thorns live on?"

This is the right person, Qing Wanjin has studied the thorn strips for a long time, so he said to Li Yiheng: "The reason why these thorn strips grow so densely is because they are parasitic and absorb the nutrients of the trees here, but over time, it may be Heluo Niu, or it may be the people here, who were inadvertently pierced by the thorns on the thorns, so that the thorns tasted the taste of blood, which is much more than the nutrients of the trunk, so the thorns began to become bloodthirsty. ”

"Then how should we deal with it this time? There are only two of us, and they are a group, is there a more clever way?" Li Yiheng also began to mumble at this moment, standing under this thorny net, they were so small.

"You put an arrow at one of the thorns and see what the reaction is. Qing Wanjin commanded.

Li Yiheng took out a wooden arrow from the quiver behind his back, loaded it on the crossbow machine, aimed at a thicker thorn strip and shot it, hitting accurately, the two of them waited for a while, but they didn't see any reaction from the thorn strip, so Li Yiheng loaded a wooden arrow again and shot the same thorn strip, but there was still no response.

"There's no movement, do you want to take a closer look?" Li Yiheng suggested.

"It's okay, anyway, we have fire and light, and we can resist danger for a while. Qing Wanjin's words have no confidence.

Xiao Ji also mustered up the courage at this moment, and simply stood on Li Yiheng's head to observe the surrounding environment for them, Qing Wanjin and Li Yiheng could concentrate on the reaction of the thorns in front of them.

Just when the two of them were less than 100 meters away from the thorn net, the thorn net in front of them seemed to be a thick city wall, with no end in sight on the up, down, left and right sides, and there seemed to be no more overwhelming fear than this.

Li Yiheng dipped a little fire and shot at the same thorn strip again, which seemed to work, and the blue flames immediately spread all around, causing a blue sea of fire on the thorn net.

The thorn strips that were originally standing still were dancing like a group of snakes at this moment, slapping each other in pain, and it seemed that they wanted to use this to pave the burning flames, but these blue flames seemed to only burn off a layer of skin of the thorn strips, and then gradually extinguished, and some of the skin that had not been completely burned out fell in the air, with blue fire, which also ignited the trunk, but the blue fire immediately became very small after touching the trunk, and it seemed that there was nothing to burn, and it was quickly extinguished.

The blue fire on the thorn net is still expanding around, and the skin of the thorn strip in the middle has been burned out, leaving only a black patch, but the blue fire that spreads to the surrounding area has no sign of abating, Li Yiheng is worried that all the thorn nets will be ignited if this continues.

"I can't imagine that this fire is so powerful, but what should I do now, these fires have spread, is there any way to stop it?" Looking at the burning thorn net, illuminating the surrounding sky extremely brightly, it looked like the sky was ignited, and it was burning out little by little, Li Yiheng was a little worried.

Qing Wanjin didn't expect this fire to be so powerful, and he also found the method from an ancient book, but there was no record of how to extinguish the fire on the tree, and he was at a loss this time.

"Mr. Qing, do we count ourselves as playing with fire and self-immolation?!"

"Be serious, think of a way. ”

"I can't think of you, isn't that what you should know? You're the Prometheus who stole the fire. ”

"What did you say?"

"Nothing"

"Tsk. Xiao Ji couldn't stand it anymore, the two of them said so much, and there was no good way, so they pecked at Li Yiheng's head.

Just when the two of them were in a hurry, the thorn strips in front of them seemed to dance too vigorously, and they threw them over according to Li Yiheng and Qing Wanjin, as if an iron tower had collapsed, Xiao Ji immediately expanded, holding up Li Yiheng and Qing Wanjin and fleeing to the side, the thorn strips slapped on the trunks below, and many tree trunks were broken in response.

"It's dangerous, thank you, Xiaojing. Li Yiheng said with palpitations.

At this time, the thorn strips that were originally thrown down attacked Xiao Ji again, and at the same time, many thorn strips surrounded by them, like a huge pocket, wanted to wrap Li Yiheng and them in.

Xiao Ji immediately flew towards the opening in the sky, but these thorn strips were too huge, no matter how fast the "big pocket" was composed, it seemed that they couldn't escape the speed surrounded by the thorn strips, with the "squeak" sound of the thorn strips curling, the sky suddenly darkened, and Xiao Ji and others were wrapped in a small thorn ball.

What frightened them even more was that these thorn strips gradually shrank, and the sphere became smaller and smaller, and Li Yiheng and they would be squashed at any time.

"Fight it with tinder. Li Yiheng felt that the space was getting smaller, and shouted to Qing Wanjin.

But Qing Wanjin didn't know how to use it, Li Yiheng simply filled the crossbow machine with wooden arrows that lit the fire, and kept shooting around, and the wooden arrows roared with blue fire into the thorn nets in different directions, almost lighting up the entire space, but after the wooden arrow with blue fire pierced the thorn strip, the blue fire disappeared after a while, and it couldn't be found.

"It's been strenuous to be strenuous these are burnt thorn strips that won't be ignited again. Qing Wanjin also shouted.

"So what should I do, just wait for death?"

"You let me think about it first. Qing Wanjin said, waving his light seed to shine around, and found that these thorns were almost approaching, and he could clearly see the thorns on them.

Suddenly, Qing Wanjin found that these thorn strips were not far away from them and did not move, Qing Wanjin asked Xiao Ji to approach these thorn nets, these thorn strips retreated, and Xiao Wan Jin got closer, these thorn strips were retreating, and the corresponding rear thorn strips quickly surrounded them, as if maintaining a fixed distance.

"I see, the light seed must be within a certain distance to be effective on these thorn strips, so these thorn strips can only remain in this form, and dare not approach. Qing Wanjin said happily.

Li Yiheng observed the thorns around him, still with a sad face: "That's right, but how can we get out in this way?"

Another problem is in front of them, such a stalemate is to fall into a predicament, Li Yiheng and they are equivalent to being trapped here, and Xiao Ji's form will not last long.

"No matter, give it a go. Li Yiheng said, took out the umbrella shield of his right arm, and threw the thorn strip in front of him, the umbrella shield rotated and cut into the thorn strip, Li Yiheng's right palm was stretched, and the umbrella shield was inducted by the right palm and flew back, Li Yiheng threw it out again, back and forth many times, the thorn strip in front seemed to be a little loose, Li Yiheng continued to attack, and the thorn strip in front of him instantly dispersed, revealing a gap, and Xiao Ji took the opportunity to fly out.

These thorn strips had no intention of chasing, and retracted back into the thorn net, Xiao Ji stopped on a tree trunk, Li Yi looked around, only to find that the blue fire on the thorn net in the air was burning more and more, and the remaining black part was still emitting black smoke.

"What should we do, we have only been in for a while, and the fire is burning like this, how can this be controlled?" Qing Wanjin also looked at the height and said.

"We still have to find a way to solve the problem of strings, and now there is another fire in front of us, which can lead to a big disaster. Li Yiheng also frowned, and there was nothing he could do.

And in the face of such a fierce attack by the thorn strips, the two of them and a bird couldn't resist it, and fell into silence again.

At this time, the previous little mushroom came out of the trunk again, turned into a little girl, standing in front of Yiheng, Qing Wanjin had never seen a little girl, and looked very surprised, Xiao Ji was extremely excited, and circled around Li Yiheng's shoulder.

"Why are you here? When you were in the Ying Clan, you just disappeared into the trunk of the tree. Li Yiheng asked, and at the same time saw Qing Wanjin's confused look, and explained to Qing Wanjin: "At this time, the little mushroom that saved us before has not had time to tell you." ”

The little girl winked at Qing Wanjin, who stared thoughtfully at the little girl for a long time, and suddenly said, "I have seen you from an ancient book. ”

Li Yiheng wondered: "How is it possible, how old is she, she is only ten years old, how can there be her in the ancient books?"

"Really," Qing Wanjin explained, "it's the same book that records the energy conversion of the light seed, and it has a mushroom pattern drawn on it, exactly like the one she just looked, and we won't have mushrooms here!"

Hearing what Qing Wanjin said, Li Yiheng will also be suspicious, besides, the little girl in front of him has special abilities, maybe she has really lived for a long time, Li Yiheng didn't dare to think about it anymore, for fear that the little girl in front of him would be an ageless monster.

The little girl smiled and said, "My grandfather will tell you." ”

"Your grandfather?" Li Yiheng asked suspiciously, imagining in his heart what kind of clan her grandfather would be, "Where is your grandfather?"

"Oh, it's right above you. ”

Li Yiheng, Qing Wanjin and Xiao Ji looked above their heads at the same time, only to see the thorn nets burning with raging blue flames, and the burning tentacle-like thorn strips gradually unfolded, seemingly painfully pumping violently to the tree trunk below, the whole world shook under this twitching, the sound of the tree trunk breaking, people's faint wails, mixed together, a scene of the end of the world.

"Where? Not a joke now?" Looking at the scene in front of him, Li Yiheng asked the little girl anxiously.

"Look again, it's coming!" replied the little girl, firmly.

Li Yiheng looked again, but saw that these enraged thorn strips began to abstract their own burning fire, over and over again, splashing bright sparks, Li Yiheng looked around, the thorn nets of the whole world were repeatedly whipping themselves, and soon these blue flames in the sky were extinguished under this whipping, and those blackened thorn nets were exposed in many places, and they could see the starry sky outside, if they invaded with Luo Niu now, it would be devastating.

However, what Li Yiheng and Qing Wanjin didn't expect was that the surface of these blackened thorn strips actually grew young shoots one after another, and soon all the thorn nets were all over the thorn nets, and those big holes were also filled with new thorn strips.

The buds on a thorn strip above grew longer and longer, extending to the top of Li Yiheng's head, and the flower bud tightly wrapped at the front end slowly bloomed, Li Yiheng looked at it with surprise, but saw that inside the bud, it was not a stamen, but an old man, who was hanging upside down, looking at them with a smile.
