Returning to hometown to farm: The apocalypse system arrived ten years earlier?

Chapter 296: Huge wildfire, lasting for seven days

The dust settled and the strange beast was killed.

Everyone, including Li Xiang, breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Xiang walked around the battle scene, picked up the scattered remains of the alien beast, and put them into the system warehouse. This remains contained the genetic code of alien creatures, which was very valuable for research. Perhaps, genetic weapons targeting this kind of creature could be developed.

Li Xiang had handed one over before, and I don't know how the research is going. But I guess there won't be such rapid progress. Such a precious "sample" must not fall into the hands of other forces.

"Let's take a rest for the night and deal with it in the morning."

Seeing that everyone was tired, Li Xiang led everyone back to the rock castle that they had built earlier, where men and women lived separately. Even Xu Xuan and Zhang Youyou were tactful enough to stay in separate rooms.

Otherwise, since everyone's hearing is so sharp, it would be so embarrassing to do that at night.

Li Xiang was alone in a room. He drank a few sips of spiritual wine to restore his physical and spiritual strength. Then he took out the 25th-level holy item rewarded by the system and looked at it carefully.

"The Abyss Summoning Spirit Mirror."

The inky black mirror frame was engraved with countless twisted tentacle patterns, and each tentacle was inlaid with a rice-sized dark blue crystal at the end. The mirror surface was shimmering with dark purple ripples, as if sealing the vortex of the entire nebula, and eight blood-colored runes on the edge flickered with the energy fluctuations.

When Li Xiang's fingertips touched the edge of the mirror, dozens of translucent spirits suddenly emerged from the mirror and circled around him like a swarm of startled fireflies.

After some exploration and research, Li Xiang learned detailed information that this "Underworld Summoning Mirror" is very powerful and has three extraordinary attributes.

The first is "sub-body control", which can control no more than fourteen puppets at the same time, and the control range is positively correlated with the user's mental strength; the second is "mimicry replication", which can perfectly imitate the magnetic field fluctuations of any biological being that has been touched (cooling time 72 hours); the third is "abyss resonance", which releases the unique mental shock wave of the twenty-seventh-level mother queen three times a day, making the enemy fall into an illusion, and the power increases with the user's level.

Li Xiang now has so many treasures on him that he certainly cannot use them all by himself. He can only keep them for now and use them to reward meritorious officials in the future.

After a while, Luo Feifei called and said that the hot water was ready and asked him to come over and take a bath.

Li Xiang couldn't refuse the kindness, so he went over.

After the girls were all picked up, it was Li Xiang's turn. As for the other men, including Xu Xuan, they didn't get to enjoy this.

Silent all night.

The next day, under the command of Li Xiang, everyone cleared a circle of isolation zone along the periphery of the "Devil's Land". Because the area was too large, more than 200 kilometers in radius, it took a whole day just to clear the isolation zone.

Among them, the ones who contributed the most were Li Xiang and Yaki Toto.

Li Xiang has earth-related abilities and dug a wide trench, while Yaki Toto controlled rainforest plants and various weeds, and the others also helped, such as helping to throw trees into the "burning circle".

When night fell, Lei Xiaohui and Zhang Youyou set fires everywhere.

Lei Xiaohui summoned the "Ghost Fire Motorcycle" with flames blazing. Zhang Youyou held her slender waist and sat in the back seat. The two girls rode around, going back and forth, looking very cool.

The "Wilson's Fire" motorcycle can fly at low altitudes, and even rivers and cliffs cannot stop it. Wherever the two pass, sparks begin to spread.

Before long, the sea of fire was raging, burning all the dead trees, rotten corpses, rotten leaves, rotten grass, various bacteria, pathogens... in the devil's land.

In the process of doing this, Li Xiang and his team also checked and found that no living people had entered the "Devil's Land". Except for the hunters from the Blood Tooth Tribe who had mistakenly entered before, no other tribal warriors had entered randomly.

Xu Xuan activated his wind-related abilities, and the wind helped fuel the fire.

The fire burned for several days and nights, and even though there were several heavy rains during this period, it could not put out this huge wildfire.

Because, what ignited this rain forest was the spiritual fire of the extraordinary, not ordinary fire. The fire was extremely powerful.

Even if some places were extinguished or the fire was weak, Lei Xiaohui and Zhang Youyou would come over immediately to add fuel to the fire.

This "devil's land" would be filled with endless troubles if it was not purified by fire. As for the "Black Water River" inside, Li Xiang also used his earth-related magical power to cut off its flow, and the fire dried up the Black Water River. Afterwards, Li Xiang would come back to re-arrange the river channel and allow fresh river water from outside to flow in.

Everyone's armor was also calcined with flames, disinfected, and cleaned.

Such a large fire was naturally monitored by satellites of some major countries and relevant departments of neighboring countries, causing an uproar around the world.

NASA satellite cloud images captured abnormal data showing that the core temperature of the fire exceeded 3000°C, and the trending search #Amazon Hell fire# on Twitter sparked public opinion.

European netizen @GretaX: "Where is Fridays for Future? We need to surround parliaments of all countries!" ("Fridays for future" is a well-known environmental protest movement, which started with a group of primary and secondary school students boycotting classes on Fridays and marching in the streets to protest, and gradually developed into a global scale)

The headline of the Russian media "Russia Today" is: "The US staged a self-directed ecological crisis to create an excuse to send troops to South America!"

Japan 2ch: "焼き払え! This is the real Enshang method!"

Congo Rainforest Monitoring Station: "Seven days after the flames, new ferns are sprouting from the ashes - incredible ecological recovery!"

This is naturally the masterpiece of Yaki Toto, the rainforest priest.

A large amount of ashes are also very good organic fertilizers. After being plowed by Li Xiang's soil-related abilities, they become fertile soil suitable for plant growth.

It’s a pity that the people here are not good at growing crops. With such good fertile land, Li Xiang even wants to farm here.

However, the primitive tribes here have their own unique way of life, and Li Xiang thinks it is better not to disturb them.

During the wildfire, more than a dozen primitive tribal teams wrapped in animal skins appeared on the edge of the scorched earth. These dark-skinned visitors stopped and watched with stone spears in their hands. When they heard Yaki Toto explain the whole story in ancient sign language and throat sounds, the leading shamans all used bone whistles to make long resonances - this was the highest level of understanding signal between jungle clans.

Then, several tribes invited the homeless Yaki Toto to join the tribe.

After all, Yaki Toto is such a strong man, a shaman, and has the incredible ability to control plants. He is the target of all major tribes.

When a female warrior from the leopard tribe, famous for her bravery, untied the python skin tied around her waist in public, the crowd of onlookers burst into deafening stomping sounds, and dozens of spears broke through the air and pierced into the ground at her feet - this was the most passionate courtship declaration of the daughter of the rain forest.

Of course, there are also some tribal leaders who are afraid of Yaki Toto and do not want him to join, fearing that their status will be threatened.

For such a big matter, Yaki Toto naturally had to ask Li Xiang for instructions.

"Paya, those clans..." Yaki knelt on one knee in front of Li Xiang, the new crocodile tooth necklace on his wrist rustling. It was a token of love given to him by the female warrior.

After a brief thought, Li Xiang suggested that Yaki Toto choose a satisfactory tribe to join, and told him that the end of the world would come in about eight or nine years. Li Xiang hoped that he could become the leader here and lead the local residents to fight the difficulties together.

Yaki Toto was born and raised in the rainforest and is used to the primitive tribal life here. Li Xiang will definitely not take him back. If he does, he will not be able to adapt to life in China and will feel lonely.

It would be better to stay here and prepare to build a new base in the future.

A cunning rabbit has three burrows. Li Xiang will not put all his eggs in one basket.

Yaki's pupils suddenly shrank into two vertical lines. He understood what Li Xiang meant and bowed down. The newly inserted curare bud in his hair glowed with fluorescence in the night. "The star pattern that Paya is gazing at will never go out. When you return on the nine tides, the most ferocious anaconda will sit as your footstool, and the sweetest blood wine will be filled with a sloth skull and offered in your palm."

"Do a good job. Once you stand firmly, I will come to provide you with support." Li Xiang patted Yaji's shoulder and helped him up.
