Chapter 36: Setting fire to the mountain and spending life in prison

The wildfire was raging, thick smoke was billowing, and the fire covered the entire mountain forest, spreading towards the depths of the forest at an incredible speed.

Before he got close, Xu Hei saw countless birds flying away and beasts screaming.

Wildfire, this is undoubtedly a catastrophe for animals living in the mountains.

Wherever the flames pass, only a scorched earth is left, and any living creatures, any animals and plants will die.

Xu Hei's mood was heavier than ever before.

This is his home, his home!

"No!!!"

Xu Hei roared and rushed towards the territory.

It was the first time that Hei Huang saw Xu Hei's expression. He surprisingly didn't say anything, just followed behind.

Xu Hei rushed to his territory. The two mountains in front were burning with raging fires. Most of the plants had been burned. There were hellish scenes everywhere, with flames rolling and heat waves rising to the sky.

The wildfire was still expanding, and countless creatures died tragically and fell in the flames.

He saw a group of wild boars. The sow was running away with her piglets in the flames, screaming miserably. Suddenly, a burnt wood fell and knocked the sow to the ground.

The piglets next to them gathered around them and refused to leave. Soon, they were also engulfed by the flames.

These piglets were raised by Xu Hei and could have been used as food for next year.

But right under his eyes, they were gone! Not a single one was left!

There was also a nest of mountain doves, which were still learning to fly, but were engulfed by the flames, and the entire forest was completely destroyed.

I don't know how many creatures died one after another in Xu Hei's sweeping glance.

The coverage of the wildfire was too large to be extinguished by human power. I am afraid that it will continue to burn deep into the forest until the heavy rain falls.

There is a saying in human beings that if you set fire to the mountain, you will be imprisoned for life, which shows how serious the harm of wildfires is.

Xu Hei gritted his teeth and rushed into the flames, his consciousness spreading wildly.

The flames burned on him without any pain. Xu Hei sped up and came to the familiar pool, jumped in, and entered the cave.

In the cave, thick smoke billowed.

In the corner, a group of wolf cubs, the wolf king, and the little white snake were curled up.

The little white snake was now quite big, not much different from Xu Hei, and had broken through to the third level of the spiritual period.

Fortunately, there was such a cave, otherwise, these creatures would probably not be able to escape the wildfire attack. However, as time went on, the smoke became thicker and thicker, and they would probably suffocate to death.

The snake tree planted in the corner was still there, and a young fruit had already been produced. In three years, new snake fruits will appear.

Seeing Xu Hei coming in, the wolf king immediately stepped forward, lowered his head and whimpered.

There was a big fire burning outside, and a lot of thick smoke floated in from the cave entrance. Staying here was not a long-term solution.

Xu Hei said nothing. He rolled up the snake tree and put it into his storage bag. He said to the white snake and the wolf pack, "Let's go. I'll take you out."

…………

Thirty miles away, at the entrance of the Snake Village.

An old man in a Taoist robe stood at the foot of the mountain, looking at the dark and gray forest in front of him, and sneered.

This man was Chen Daoling, who was twenty years older.

Chen Daoling's life span was already running out, and he only had three years left to live. He had no wishes in this life. He just wanted to catch the old snake demon before he died, peel off his tendons and skin, and refine it into snake pills.

He didn't expect to extend his life, but left hope to the only two remaining disciples.

Zhao Wenzhuo and Chen Duoduo.

At this time, the two stood on both sides behind him, one on the left and one on the right, with a respectful attitude.

After several months of retreat, Zhao Wenzhuo's cultivation reached the middle stage of Qi Refining. For a junior who had just joined the snake catcher for a year, he was already a genius.

Chen Duoduo is the most talented person in the Chen family and is about to break through the late stage of Qi Refining.

"This mountain fire has been burning for three days. It should have burned to the lair of the snake demon." Chen Daoling sneered.

Zhao Wenzhuo was silent for a moment and said, "Master, this fire may have angered many monsters. I'm afraid that the snake demon will come down the mountain to retaliate."

"Haha, so what?" Chen Daoling sneered, with a confident attitude.

"To be honest, the matter of the old snake demon and the Ten Thousand Snake Valley has aroused the interest of an elder in the headquarters. The Snake Catching Sect will soon set up a branch here. By then, both of you can enter the branch to practice."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Wenzhuo and Chen Duoduo were shocked.

The Snake Catching Sect is one of the five major sects in Chu State and the overlord of the south. Any branch is a powerful force with Jindan cultivators.

The establishment of the branch means that the level of cultivation here will rise sharply. Whether it is Snake Village, Python Village, or Chenjia Town, they will all gain endless benefits.

There will even be a large number of people moving here to build a new city, and the population economy will flourish.

"I wonder where the branch hall will be built?" Zhao Wenzhuo said with a flash of his eyes.

"This involves the secrets of the sect, and I have no right to know, but the elder has sent a clone to investigate, and it is estimated that there will be results soon." Chen Daoling said slowly.

The appearance of Wanshe Valley is bound to attract the attention of the high-level leaders of the Snake Catching Sect. It is a natural snake farm with inexhaustible snake resources.

If it were just that, it would be fine. The appearance of the old snake demon has added fuel to the fire, raising the value of Wanshe Valley again.

For this reason, the Snake Catching Sect wants to build a branch hall to firmly occupy Wanshe Valley.

…………

In the deep mountains and old forests, fires are raging, thick smoke fills the sky, the air is filled with dust, and the pungent smell is everywhere, making it impossible to breathe and unable to open your eyes.

"Water bomb technique!"

Xu Hei spit out a water ball, extinguished the flames, and opened a wide avenue.

The wolf king in the rear rushed out with his cub on his back and the little white snake, and ran towards the depths of the mountain forest.

Heihuang appeared next to him and said: "Xu Hei, this mountain fire will happen every once in a while. It's nothing to make a fuss about. The weather is hot, it's normal."

Xu Hei crawled silently without saying a word.

Heihuang stood on the top of the mountain, looked around, and said with a wry smile: "But such a large-scale one is indeed rare."

Along the way, all they saw was pitch black and scorched earth. A conservative estimate would have been that it burned for at least twenty miles, maybe more than 20 miles.

Without strong winds and rain, it would just keep burning.

Heihuang sighed and wanted to say something to comfort him, but he didn't know what to say. As a human being, he really couldn't understand the thoughts of snakes.

But if you think about it from his perspective, how would he feel if his home was burned down by a sudden fire that could not be stopped and continued to burn deep into the city?

"I don't think it was an accident."

Suddenly, Xu Hei, who had been silent for a long time, made a voice.

"Huh?" Heihuang was stunned, waiting for Xu Hei's next words.

Xu Hei said seriously: "Before, I heard you talk about the Snake Catching Sect. They have many branches, and most of them are located in places with abundant spiritual energy and rich snake resources, right?"

"That's right!" Heihuang nodded.

Xu Hei took a deep breath, his voice cold to the bone.

"I know who did it."

Xu Hei's eyes were fierce and scarlet, and he burst out with unprecedented murderous intent.

Such terrifying murderous intent made even Black and Yellow stunned. It was hard to imagine that this was coming from a mid-stage psychic beast.
