You have mastered the art of thunder and you tell me that it is in a strange world?

Chapter 155: Suppressing the Fire with One Hand
Before the sun rose to noon, inside Shangbao City.

Captain Liu was on his routine street patrol.

He was followed by four men, two on the left and two on the right, walking along the alleys and lanes.

Whenever he passed by, vendors would greet him, and some familiar ones would even throw some fruits to him, but he politely declined them all.

If he accepted small gifts from everyone, he would probably walk around the street in the morning and his hands would be full of things in the afternoon.

If there is any emergency, Captain Liu can't hit people with cucumbers.

"Captain, all the shops around here want you. I'm afraid I won't be able to learn this skill even if I study for ten years."

A young constable next to him flattered him, and Constable Liu glanced at him and said:
"If you treat the people sincerely, the people will treat you sincerely."

This is half true and half false.

Captain Liu grew up eating at many houses. Almost all the shops around him fed him, so he could be considered half a child of these shops.

That's why the people in the shop were so friendly to him.

Previously, another captain of police was transferred from above. He was also a good man and was quite friendly to his neighbors, but he had basically no effect, so in the end he had to come.

Captain Liu really liked this job. He made a lot of money and was well-liked. Every time he saw old acquaintances, he would always hear them say, "This little Liu has a promising future. Look at this energetic young man. Do you want me to introduce you to some marriages?"

Very comfortable.

Just as Captain Liu was about to turn the corner and inspect the next alley, he suddenly smelled a burning smell in the air.

He subconsciously turned his head and looked in the direction where the burning smell came from.

But I found that the street was already on fire, and my skin was burning painfully!
In an instant, the tranquility of the street was broken. The vendors who had just happily greeted Captain Liu were frightened out of their wits and ran away in a hurry with their goods.

The screams were mixed with the cries of "the fire broke out" and continued one after another.

"Quick! Go find a bucket! Go call the people in the fire watchtower!"

Captain Liu immediately ordered the constables behind him to find people to put out the fire, but within a moment's time the fire spread like a snake and engulfed the two wooden houses next door.

"What the hell! Why did the fire suddenly break out?"

Captain Liu only felt a toothache.

If Bai Ri Chuang suddenly appeared on the road, he could still draw his sword and fight a few times, but facing the raging fire, he didn't know how to control water, so he could only wait for the fire master to come and deal with it.

After wandering around for two circles, he gritted his teeth and decided to evacuate the people on the street first, so that no one would be dizzy from the smoke and fall into the fire and lose their lives.

Fortunately, the fire watchtower was relatively close to here, and the fire masters arrived very quickly. Before long, these capable people carrying water buckets and holding water-crossing talismans came to the alley, and they used their own methods to divert water and suppress the flames.

Captain Liu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

With them here, it shouldn't be a big deal.

However, for some reason, Captain Liu still felt a little uneasy. He always felt that there seemed to be something wrong with the fire.

“Help! Help!”

Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard a cry for help from the fire. I looked up and found that there was a girl trapped in the fire on the second-floor attic that had not been burned yet. She couldn't get out at all!

Captain Liu was shocked, and seeing that the firefighters were putting out the fire and seemed to have no time to save people, he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, ran directly to the firefighter, poured himself with the water in the bucket, soaking his entire constable uniform, and rushed into the sea of ​​fire with his head down.

When the fire master saw him like this, he was so anxious that he kept shouting:

"What are you doing! Come back now!"

Captain Liu has already rushed into the sea of ​​fire.

As soon as he entered the burning shop, Captain Liu clearly felt a wave of scorching heat rushing in through his nostrils and burning all the way to his lungs.

He coughed several times but failed to cough out the anger in his lungs. He could only cover his mouth and nose with his sleeves that were soaked in water, then quickly looked for a suitable route and rushed towards the second floor.

The wooden beams in the house had not yet become brittle and broken due to the scorching flames. There was not much clutter in the hall and it did not block the way, so one could go up the stairs.

Captain Liu rushed to the stairs quickly, cleared the flames, and climbed up quickly. He soon reached the second floor where the fire was burning and saw the trapped girl.

She had fainted and was lying on the ground gasping for breath. If her chest had not been rising and falling slightly, Captain Liu would have thought she was dead.

When he rushed to the girl and wanted to lend a hand to help her up, Captain Liu suddenly felt a strong sense of foreboding.

As if by reflex, Captain Liu moved the long knife at his waist backwards to block.

There was a loud bang and a sudden force was felt on his wrist. He lost his grip on the knife and it flew out.

His knuckles instantly cracked, and blood and flesh splattered.

He covered his wrist, and then he found that a monster with fire all over its body had appeared behind him. Its body looked like a monster with broken bones, and fire was gushing out from the gaps between its bones and its internal organs. It looked like the horrifying creatures recorded in biography of strange things, especially horrifying.

What is this? !

Captain Liu was naturally shocked, as he had never imagined that such a thing could be hidden in the fire.

Glancing from a distance, I saw that there were actually quite a few of them!

Now his weapon was bounced away, his knuckles were cracked, the water stains on his clothes were almost completely burned away by the flames, and even breathing became difficult.

Where can we deal with these evil creatures!
He had no choice but to stand in front of the girl, but his heart gradually fell into despair.

As the evil creature was slowly approaching him, Captain Liu suddenly heard a cry from the street outside, as if the fire master was shouting something to some god or immortal.

Before he could react to what was happening, he suddenly smelled a faint fragrance in the air. After it entered his lungs and spleen, he felt as if the fire in his lungs had been swept away.

I saw a small milky white object floating down in the corner of my eye. I reached out to grab it, opened my palm and found that there was an extra petal in my palm.

Looking back, the flames burning on the window sills were being engulfed by the milky white color at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into blooming white milky flowers that covered the window sills.

The evil creature that was slowly approaching Captain Liu not far away also froze all over, and the diffuse flowers crawled along the ground towards him, and in the blink of an eye, covered his body. With the slight breeze, the monster in front of him turned into petals, disappeared into smoke, and no trace could be seen.

By the time Captain Liu came to his senses, the evil creatures hiding in the distance had fallen to the ground one by one and turned into clusters of colorful petals.

When the wind blows, petals fly all over the sky. The afternoon sun shines into the window sill covered with flowers from the window sill, casting flying shadows.

Look back and glance sideways.

He saw a person in the air, making hand gestures, flowers blooming at his feet, and floating down under the flower petals.

……

When she fell to the ground again, Caiyi rolled and crawled and sat down on the ground.

She just tried to see if she had successfully overcome her fear of heights, but unfortunately, her legs went limp just from lying next to the clouds and taking a look at them.

Zuo Chen patted her head and comforted Caiyi, then turned his gaze to the group of fire masters in front of him and Captain Liu who was helping the girl out of the fire scene.

When Zuo Chen took action just now, the fire masters had already seen his appearance in the air, and now their faces were filled with awe.

"Thank you for your help, Immortal!" A middle-aged man who looked like a leader among the fire masters immediately came up and bowed to Zuo Chen.

"Go save people first, don't worry about me." Zuo Chen pointed to the charred ruins: "There are still people alive inside."

The Fire Master nodded immediately and led his men into the ruins filled with flowers to start rescuing people.

Zuo Chen did not know how to use the Water Secret of the Five Elements, and it was not easy to suppress the raging fire with just the frosty power of his innate true qi. Zuo Chen simply used the Secret of Flowers Blooming in an Instant, turning the sea of ​​fire into a sea of ​​flowers so that it could no longer hurt people or burn lives.

On the other hand, most of the people in this street who were transformed into evil creatures by the sea of ​​suffering had their souls and spirits scattered, and he could not save them.

However, Zuo Chen actually found someone who was lucky.

Maybe it was because he had just started the transformation and the evil energy of the sea of ​​suffering had not yet penetrated into his bones. Zuo Chen cast a spell on him and his physical body was fine, but the red energy attached to his body was dispelled.

"About an incense stick of time..." Zuo Chen calculated with his fingers.

Falling into the sea of ​​suffering is not completely hopeless. The transformation of the sea of ​​suffering takes about the time of an incense stick. As long as within this incense stick of time, there is a person who possesses the innate true qi and can blow away the breath of the sea of ​​suffering on the other person, then this person can regain his freedom and will not completely become an evil creature in the sea of ​​suffering.

But the time is somewhat too tight, and there are people with innate true qi in this world now...

Master Lin Xi counts as one, Master Donkey and Cai Yi together count as one, and he counts as one.

It's really a bit difficult.

Not thinking about this for the moment, Zuo Chen took a step forward and in the blink of an eye he arrived at a backyard that had turned into ruins.

The backyard was spacious, and even the bluestone bricks on the ground were blackened by smoke and fire. The ground was littered with debris and layers of white flowers, making it look desolate and messy.

The yard should be filled with many wine jars made of earthenware tiles. Now, all of them are broken and the wine inside has disappeared with the flames. Only one jar is left intact, and it seems that it is still shaking after it noticed Zuo Chen coming.

Zuo Chen hooked his finger, and the lid of the wine jar immediately opened, and the last drop of dark liquid flew directly onto Zuo Chen's finger.

Just like the drop of liquid caught last time, wisps of silk threads were constantly emanating from it.

Caiyi, who had recovered from her shock, also trotted over and stood next to Zuo Chen.

When she saw the drop of bitter sea water on Zuo Chen's fingertips, she couldn't help but sigh:
"It looks like someone has come here to cause trouble. These little bastards are just like the sowbugs under the rocks. They like to hide in the dark and can't be seen in the open. They are really annoying."

Zuo Chen looked at this drop of bitter sea for a while, and suddenly smiled:

"I don't know if I can find the woodlice hiding under the stone."
