Chapter 116 Man-made natural disaster!

Hu~!

Crackling~!

Flame is a thing that takes effort to ignite, but once it forms a certain scale, it spreads very quickly.

Even after the spiritual energy revival tide, all kinds of plants in the jungle have grown to a certain extent, and many have evolved to a high level and possess various superpowers.

But facing the large-scale wildfires, they are also unstoppable.

Although Cang Nian saw many trees that could spray liquid autonomously and try to put out the fire and save themselves.

But obviously, they are in the early stages of evolution and cannot resist such man-made wildfire disasters!

However, some small herbs can pull out their roots completely when the fire burns near them, and run towards the outside, which makes Cang Nian gain more knowledge.

Although the evolved plants encountered before can move, such as twisting with vines, or shooting spikes to attack, I have never seen them "run away".

And those large trees, probably because of their size, can't do this at all.

Perhaps when they are more evolved, they will have enough power to do this.

But now, apart from spraying sap to try to save themselves, they can only wait to die.

For this, Cang Nian can only say sorry to them in his heart.

But if he doesn't set this fire, it is impossible.

If the mycelium is not completely killed by fire, it will be his family and more animals that will die.

When the mycelium devours animals, these evolved plants will not eat them because the mycelium will not eat them, so they will not blame their family for being forced to set fire to the mountain!

Huh~!

Ho~!

At this time, the black king snake is trying to swallow the flames on the outer side of the firebreak, and then spit it out to the inner edge that spreads towards the mycelium.

Zi~!

And the little sable opens the storage space from time to time, pours the cool river water that has been prepared in it on the black king snake to lower its body temperature.

The black king snake swallows the flames and stores them, and it is not without loss when it spits them out.

And this loss was naturally borne by its body.

Although its body has become more tolerant after the recovery of spiritual energy and can adapt to higher body temperatures.

But the continuous swallowing and spitting of flames has caused the body temperature of the black king snake to continue to rise.

Only by constantly cooling it with water can it prevent its body temperature from overheating.

The entire firebreak is nearly 20 kilometers long, of which 8 kilometers are along the river bank, which can be completed by the fisherman.

But the remaining 12 kilometers are all the tasks of the black king snake.

Now, an hour has passed, and the black king snake has only completed a length of 3 kilometers without stopping!

But the fire that was ignited at the beginning has spread in the direction of the mycelium!

Sizzle~!

The flames burned the thin white mycelium, making a sizzling sound!

The number of mycelium is extremely large, but facing the flames, they have no ability to resist!

After all, they are just mycelium. They cannot grow if the temperature is too low, and they cannot survive if the temperature is too high.

They have a lot of water in their bodies, but even sturdy trees, which store more water in their bodies, cannot put out the fire, and can only make billowing white smoke appear in the flames.

As long as they are licked by the flames for a few seconds, their thin white silk threads will be burned into gray ashes!

Their IQ cannot be compared with other evolved creatures, because their original biological structure is too simple and cannot support the derivation of IQ close to that of humans for the time being.

Therefore, they only have instincts.

The instinct of survival.

Driven by the instinct of survival, some of them drill deep into the ground, trying to bury themselves deep underground, so that they can be fearless of the burning of flames.

But unfortunately, even if they drill many meters underground, the scorching ground will conduct the heat down.

Moreover, the sky-high flames will clear most of the oxygen near the ground, and the flames will only go out when the oxygen in the air is not enough to support the burning of the flames.

But before that, all the creatures in this area had already suffocated to death, including these hyphae covering an area of ​​2.5 kilometers.

Of course, the power of wildfires is more than that. Carbon monoxide produced by incomplete combustion is highly toxic.

Even if they are not directly covered by flames, the steam that rises from the hot and humid vegetation ignited by the flames is more destructive than pouring boiling water directly.

If a person is scalded by such steam, it only takes a few seconds to be severely scalded.

For hyphae that are thinner than enoki mushrooms, this moment is enough to steam them.

After receiving the message from the hyphae at the edge of the range, the hyphae in the middle also tried to save themselves.

Their first reaction was to move towards the river!

This is the most correct choice when facing a fire!

Although being directly soaked in river water is also a relatively extreme environment for them, it is better than being engulfed by flames.

For a while, all the dense hyphae drilled out from the ground and fell off the bark of the trees.

They turned into a pure white wave, rushing in the jungle, like soldiers who obey orders!

However, their speed was not too fast.

After all, they are just hyphae.

Their attack speed is pretty good, but that's when the mycelium base is underground, which is like a person with a broken leg attacking with both healthy hands.

As long as it doesn't leave the limit range of its "arm", the "arm" can exert its due speed.

But asking a person with a broken leg to get up and run away quickly is a bit too much.

They can only use their "arms" to crawl.

The mycelium crawled on the ground like a caterpillar, crawling towards the river where they could avoid wildfires in their simple survival instinct.

After a full hour, they felt the same burning touch in front of them.

There was also fire in front of them!

This is naturally the masterpiece of the fisherman!

Because there is a river over there, the fisherman does not have to consider the problem of building a firebreak at all, the river is a natural firebreak!

Therefore, the fisherman only needs to be responsible for lighting the fire, and the speed is much faster than the black king snake!

It has been two hours since the start of lighting the fire, and the fisherman's eight-kilometer fire line mission has long been completed!

Feeling the flames rushing towards them, the mycelium tried to find a direction without flames so that they could pass through it and go to the river to save some mycelium, so that they could continue to survive!

They are individuals, but they are also "a" huge creature in a cluster!

Keeping a few and allowing itself to continue is the instinct of its collective wisdom!

However, after searching once, the hyphae could not find any gaps.

The fisherman had already closed the fire line here, and there was no place to retreat to the river!
