Chapter 115 Setting the Mountain on Fire!
Forty-one days after birth.
"Ow~!"
The old man shouted with high spirits, as if it were a battle cry.
Now, he no longer has the solemnity and dejection he had when he returned yesterday.
Because now there are feasible solutions for dealing with mycelium!
That is, by using the Black King Serpent's ability to breathe fire, it can ignite the area outside the mycelium's coverage!
Then, before the fire gets out of control, let the Black King Serpent devour the flames that are spreading outwards!
Next, the black king snake spewed flames along the edge of the circle that was about to be lit, igniting the next spot!
Then repeat these steps to allow the fire to spread inwards, while the outside is isolated by firebreaks that fight fire with fire. The fire is contained at the location of the mycelium until everything in the area is burned to ashes!
However, although the plan was ready, considering the enormous workload of Black King Snake, and just in case,
Cangnian still felt that they needed to plan a firebreak that would make it less likely for the fire to get out of control.
Although the vegetation in the jungle has become denser after the spiritual energy revival.
However, in some areas, due to differences in altitude or other environmental factors, the vegetation density is much lower than in other places.
These areas are ideal firebreaks.
After all, they were all tall trees. If they really caught fire, even though the Black King Serpent's ability to breathe fire wasn't as restrictive as the Fisherman's "Laws".
But if the workload is too great, even if the Black King Serpent were to be exhausted, it still wouldn't be able to complete the task.
Therefore, finding a firebreak that is relatively easy to control is a necessary step.
Otherwise, if the firebreak is only halfway built and the Black King Snake runs out of strength and can't withstand the pressure, then it will truly be considered arson and he'll be locked up in jail for life!
However, before confirming the firebreak, Cangnian led Tiger Dad and the others to the vicinity of the mycelium area marked yesterday.
Swish swish~!
But before he even reached the circle of markers, mycelium began shooting towards him!
Fortunately, he had anticipated this and was not careless, easily dodging it.
"Holy crap! We haven't even reached the location marked yesterday, and this thing has already appeared!"
It looks like it expanded this much in just one night!
Upon seeing this, the fisherman not far behind Cang Nian exclaimed in astonishment.
This is at least a hundred meters further than the area they marked yesterday!
The mycelium expanded to such a large area in such a short time; the speed at which this thing grew terrified the fisherman.
"We can't delay any longer."
This was the result of the tiger father marking the area with urine and driving away the surrounding animals with his roar.
Without our actions yesterday, it would have expanded at least twice as fast!
We can't wait any longer; the plan must be implemented tonight!
Seeing this, Cang Nian was also horrified.
"Then the area we need to build the windbreak will have to be even larger!"
At the very least, it must be considered that the plan cannot be expanded to the location of the windbreak before it is implemented!
Otherwise, no matter how much you do, it will be in vain!
Then, the fisherman said seriously.
Upon hearing this, Cang Nian nodded in deep agreement.
If the area is not large enough, the mycelium may escape.
With such a large area and only so many members on our side, it's impossible to defend it.
Therefore, the area must be expanded to prevent the mycelium from escaping!
They only have one chance. If they fail, they will either burn down the entire jungle or let the mycelium escape and come back again in the future!
"Ouch~!"
Recognizing the urgency of the situation, Cang Nian immediately began distributing tasks.
Tiger dad and tiger mom take their little tiger brother hunting!
The elk that Tiger Dad hunted earlier were all eaten last night.
Next, it will be an extreme test of physical strength and endurance for the Black King Snake!
Therefore, everything revolves around the Black King Snake, allowing it to perform perfectly without any worries!
First and foremost, the food!
The black king snake needs to be fully fed and its food digested in advance so that when the plan actually begins, it won't have undigested food in its stomach, making it bloated and unable to move.
Next, there's water!
Yesterday, after demonstrating to the fisherman how it could breathe fire many times, the black king snake immediately went to take a bath in the river.
Clearly, consuming flames is not without its burdens. The flames raise the black king snake's body temperature, and repeated exposure will inevitably lead to overheating, affecting its normal life activities.
Therefore, water is essential.
If this were any other team, they would probably be scratching their heads in frustration.
After all, the plan couldn't be stopped once it started, because apart from humans, almost no other creature could carry such a large amount of water.
Fortunately, we have Little Sable, a spatial ability user, on our side!
The storage space perfectly solves the problem of keeping water with the black king snake at all times!
Eight tons of water should last a long time!
If that's not enough, Cangnian can carry the little sable to the river to fetch water!
His current maximum speed for long-distance running is about 50 kilometers per hour!
The mycelium was located not far from the riverbank.
Therefore, the furthest point from the riverbank in the entire plan will not exceed ten kilometers, and it will take less than half an hour to travel back and forth!
Cangnian's task was to plan the sparsely vegetated firebreaks and mark them!
Next, once the mission begins, the Black King Serpent can simply lay out the firebreaks according to the markings left by Cangnian, without having to think!
Once the tasks were distributed, no one raised any objections, and everyone immediately went to carry out their own tasks.
……
Time flew by, and night soon arrived.
It is now the height of summer, and daytime temperatures are too high. If a fire breaks out, the black king snake may not be able to control it in time.
Therefore, if we wait until the night is cool before taking action, the fire will be easier to control.
"Ow~!"
Seeing that the time was almost right, Cangnian looked at the Black King Serpent and gave the command!
The action begins!
Upon hearing Cangnian's command, the Black King Snake devoured the fire that the fisherman had prepared in a safe location to the side!
Then, it swam to the starting point of the firebreak that Cang Nian had planned, and a burst of raging flames erupted out!
The flames landed on the bushes, quickly igniting them and sending up plumes of white smoke!
Living shrubs naturally have plenty of moisture, making them somewhat difficult to ignite.
However, under the Black King Serpent's overwhelming firepower, a raging fire finally broke out!
Once the flames started, they burned very quickly. In less than half a minute, a line of fire appeared and spread to both sides!
Seeing this, the Black King Serpent opened its huge mouth, and the flames that were spreading outwards quickly turned into a line of fire that surged into the Black King Serpent's huge mouth!
Huh~!
Immediately afterward, the black king snake swam a few meters and then spewed out flames, which landed on the next section of the firebreak!
Seeing that it was indeed effective, Cang Nian felt much more at ease.
Meanwhile, the fisherman, along with Pipi, was indiscriminately setting fires along the riverbank!
With the river blocking its path, the fire certainly won't spread any further.
And this is the best direction for the mycelium to escape!
We must cut off its escape route!
