Chapter 694 499. Oil Saves Life

When Jian Cheng'an heard the shouting, he looked up and his heart suddenly sank. The situation he was most worried about had happened. He turned his head to look behind him and saw that the thick fog was about to spread over him.

"What should I do? What should I do?"

Li Jin was suddenly extremely anxious. At the critical moment, his mind suddenly went blank and he couldn't think of any solution.

Jian Cheng'an calmed down. He rummaged through the space ring at an extremely fast speed. When his eyes fell on the barrels of oil, his eyes immediately lit up.

“There’s a way!”

He immediately threw out an iron bucket of oil from the space ring, and it fell to the ground with a bang.

“Smash it!”

Jian Cheng'an shouted at Li Jin, then immediately raised his fist and punched him hard.

Li Jin realized what this thing was and immediately punched it. The next moment, a hole appeared where the two men punched it, and the strong smell of oil instantly wafted out. Jian Cheng'an didn't care anymore and took out a bowl, scooped up the oil and poured it on the tree next to him.

"ignition!"

Upon hearing this, Li Jin immediately extended the torch in his hand. With a loud bang, a huge fire suddenly burst out and almost burned his arm.

Just like that, Jian Cheng'an poured oil and Li Jin set it on fire. A burning circle of fire surrounded the two of them, and the thick fog that had spread over was instantly blocked by the fire.

Seeing this, Li Jin finally breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed to the ground.

Jian Cheng'an continued to pour oil on the outside, and the fire grew bigger and bigger. In addition to the small area where the two of them were, the fire began to spread outward. Even if Jian Cheng'an stopped pouring oil to add fuel to the fire, the dead trees on the island were still excellent combustion agents.

When he saw the fire slowly pushing back the thick fog, Jian Cheng'an sat down on the ground and breathed heavily.

"Thank goodness, thank goodness."

"Fortunately, we arrived on the island before the thick fog appeared."

The two looked at each other and laughed awkwardly.

The two men's faces were red from the fire, and they were covered in sweat. The air was filled with the pungent smell of a burning tree.

The two men did not dare to rest and kept a close eye on the fire. Once it showed signs of shrinking, they would quickly pour oil on it. They did not know when the thick fog would dissipate, so they could only keep an eye on it without stopping for fear of making any mistakes.

That night, the two of them hardly slept a wink and endured until dawn. When the sunlight pierced through the sky and shone onto the sea, the thick fog gradually dissipated.

Jian Cheng'an and Li Jin stood on the island and saw this scene, and finally revealed a tired smile.

"It's over. It's finally over."

"It was truly thrilling. If it weren't for the oil, we would have been finished yesterday."

Jian Cheng'an was sincerely grateful to Qiao Zixi for allocating these supplies to her. Each one of them was a tool for him to escape.

"We can't rest now. We must hurry today. We must go far enough before dark, far enough that the thick fog can't reach us."

After saying that, Jian Cheng'an took out some food from the space, and the two of them ate it together with cold water, shivering from the cold.

They were accompanied by a thousand miles of frozen ice all the way. Thinking of the terrifying moment last night, the two of them dared not hold back anymore today and hurried on their way with all their might. Except for a little food they had before setting off in the morning, they did not stop for even a second.

After such a high-intensity and exhausting journey, the two of them soon found a place to stay before dark, a cave in the archipelago.
