Chapter 043: Rat Tide

The fire took advantage of the wind, and the wind fueled the fire, and more thermite incendiary bombs were thrown and landed on the vegetated hills, and under the action of the thermite reaction, they immediately bloomed into a ferocious fire, and set off a fire in the wind, devouring the shrubs and herbs that were growing unbridled.

Feeling the surging and blowing of the heat wave, and watching the shrubs and grass with extremely tenacious vitality turn into char and ashes under the scorching flames, the group of people from the Blue Water Organization led by the squad leader showed happy expressions. The last time I came here, I didn't take advantage of it because I didn't take advantage of the wind, but now, under the sweep of the wind, the flames quickly ignited, and soon all the vegetation on the hill was set on fire, and it spread all the way to the east!

As long as the fire continues to expand, it will not be long before the vegetation of the entire hilly area will be swept away, and the bristly rats that hide in the bushes and grass will also be killed by the fire, so as to achieve the effect of once and for all.

In order to contain the rapidly deteriorating fire, the elite-grade bristle rats with the ability to strengthen the cold emitted a sizzling sound and fired spikes. Those spikes full of icy strengthening power fell into the fire, and then exploded into a cloud of cold cold air that continued to spread, intending to extinguish the flames at a low temperature, but the fire was already formed, and those white mist-like cold qi quickly lost their temperature under the scorching flames one after another, and annihilated into water vapor.

Seeing that their efforts were to no avail, the hard-haired rats immediately gave up fighting the fire and tried to flee, but the rapidly expanding flames swept in from all directions, and soon surrounded and enveloped them, already burning their eyebrows. In the face of the raging fire, a large number of hard-haired rats were desperate and could only die under the action of the flames and smoke.

The flames continued to spread, and soon all the vegetation on the hills was set on fire, not sparing even the stuck, sturdy tree that stood alone, its dark bark charred by the fire, and the lines of fire on it. As the flames spread to the very edge of the hills, they were greeted by barren land devoid of vegetation and soil nutrients, with only a few stunted weeds on the bare land, which, like Boruto, could not be ignited at all, and the already fierce fire stopped expanding due to the lack of combustibles, so as to avoid a catastrophic fire.

After a while, as the fires were extinguished, the air was filled with a very strong scorching smell, which was both charcoal smoke and the smell of hard-haired rat corpses, and the lush vegetation of the entire hill was gone, replaced by a thick layer of ash and scorched earth.

The most surprising thing was the swarthy tree, which, though burned by the flames, had taken on a charred appearance, but it still stood among the hills without any sign of falling. It seems that ordinary flames can't burn this weird tree, so you can only try to attack at close range.

But at this moment, the layers of ash and scorched earth that covered the hills suddenly cracked, and then a large number of rocks and the scorched earth covering them were lifted up, and a large number of hard-haired rats came out of the ground! That's a few hundred! And they are all the size of calves, and they have obviously reached adulthood and have normal combat effectiveness!

Seeing this, the squad leader couldn't help frowning slightly, and reminded:

"This should be the last adult rat in this group of hard-haired rats, and the rest are either old and weak, or sick and disabled, and they are not worth mentioning at all. But we set a fire on the ground above the lair where they lived, and the survivors of the tribe were so enraged by this unjustified plague that they could not swallow it, so they crawled out of the underground lair, ready to fight us to the death. ”

Su Hao silently stared at the dense group of large rats, and the tip of his right finger stroked the inner wall of the temporary fortress, and then felt a sense of peace of mind.

The reason why the apprentices built such a temporary fortress here was to cope with the situation at hand. With such a large number of hard-haired mice, if you aim at one person and concentrate on it, you can quickly shoot it into a hedgehog. But with the protection of this fortress, the hard-haired rat's needles could no longer work, and it could only open its rodents enough to gnaw through the soil and nibble at enemies at close range.

Perhaps because of the flames, a small part of this group of hard-haired mice, about 7 or 8 in number, actually mutated, and the original gray-yellow skin color slowly faded, replaced by a fiery red color like lava, and the bristle spikes all over the body also stood up like a bend, and a little spark appeared on the sharp ends! At the same time, along with the discoloration of the epidermis, there is also a new wave of heat waves sweeping in, which is clearly a sign of obtaining the flame enhancement attribute!

These are 7 elite-level hard-haired mice!

When the heat wave hit, Su Hao immediately felt a hot and hot feeling, as if the midsummer of August had fallen, penetrating the temporary fortress and enveloping his whole body, which should be the body heat emitted by the hard-haired mice with flame-enhancing attributes in the group, which caused this hot feeling.

Seeing this, Paladin immediately chanted a prayer at a very fast speed, and then a red circle of light appeared under the feet of everyone on the friendly side, and at the same time, a cold feeling hit from the red circle of light on the soles of his feet, dispelling the midsummer heat that was entrenched around his body, this is the aura summoned by Paladin: Flame Resistance.

Under the effect of flame resistance, everyone felt a lot more comfortable.

The group of hard-haired rats looked at the enemy hiding in the fortress, and couldn't judge the composition and number of enemies for a while, so they simply lowered their bodies and erected stiff-haired spikes all over the body.

The bristled spikes rained down and slammed into the outer walls of the makeshift fortress, and although they managed to penetrate some of them, the remaining spikes fell weakly, failing to achieve real results.

But in the dense spikes were several flaming-encircled bristles, which came from flame-strengthened bristles, thus inflammating them. The moment these flame spikes collided with the fortress, they exploded into a brilliant fire, and the flames immediately enveloped the fortress, and it seemed that it would not be long before it was burned to the ground!

Su Hao turned his head, looked at the squad leader, and asked, "Is there a fire extinguisher?" If you have one, give it to the Iron Stone Demon and let it go out to put out the fire! ”

The squad leader is also well aware of the importance of this temporary fortress, if he does not have its protection, facing a rat tide composed of hundreds of hard-haired mice, under their several shots, he would really have to be pierced into a hedgehog. He took out a 4-kilogram bottle of dry powder fire extinguisher and handed it to the Iron Stone Demon.

The Iron Stone Demon shook his head slightly, walked straight out of the fortress, and waved his claws towards the fire.

A magical scene happened, the moment the steel stone demon's claws swept through the flames, a faint cold aura erupted from the claw blade, and it was extinguished the moment it collided with the flames!

This is the effect of [Frost's Short Sword], which increases frostbite damage by 10 and frostbite for 3 seconds. The Iron Stone Demon was created using this short sword as a medium, and naturally inherited the characteristics of the medium, which can inflict frost damage and frostbite effects when attacking, thus playing a role in extinguishing fires.
