Susu stayed where she was, keeping an eye on the Haru, while I returned the way I came, back to the high ground where Dante had hidden himself.

When Dante saw that I had returned alone and Susu was nowhere to be seen, he asked in a low voice,

"Sir, how is the situation now? Didn't Susu come back with you?"

"Yeah, don't worry. Susu is fine. She's keeping an eye on the Haru group for us right now. We've found a stone house that might contain some key secrets about the Haru, and we're planning to go in and take a look."

I explained things to Dante in the simplest possible way.

Dante nodded, trusting the young man implicitly, and didn't ask any further questions. He knew this wasn't the time to discuss such matters, and simply smiled faintly and said...

"Sir, just tell me what you need me to do."

Instead of answering the question immediately, I asked,

"Are Top and Pat around here?"

"Yes, they're here. I was worried you might need them when you come back, so I didn't let them go anywhere else; they're just staying with me."

As he spoke, Dante pointed behind a rocky outcrop.

"Well done, Dante."

I saw Pat squatting obediently on the ground, taking a nap, while Top was happily munching on a fruit. When he saw me, Top grinned at me as usual.

"Top, come with us, but keep your voice down and don't make a sound, okay?"

I whispered to Top.

Top, who can now understand most of what I say like a teenager, nodded at me immediately.

Top and Pat finished the rest of the fruit, threw away the pits, and kicked Pat in the backside to wake him up, telling Pat it was time to get up and get to work.

We arrived at Susu's location in the dark. In order not to alert her, even Pat didn't let it fly this time. Instead, it followed us like a free-range chicken.

"Now I will briefly explain the plan to everyone and assign tasks to each person once again."

I whispered to Su Su about our next plan.

Firstly, we need someone to carry out the arson mission, but considering safety issues, I decided it would be safer to send an assistant along as well.

The choice naturally fell to the brave Dante, who was accompanied by Pat.

Having spent a lot of time together, Pat also began to follow Dante's instructions meticulously. They were the perfect pair for setting fires.

My plan is to set fire to a field a kilometer away from us. This distance is not close for us now, and with many Haru lurking there, the danger level is much higher.

So I decided to use the safest and most efficient method: setting fire. The risk factor on the ground is high, but we still have air superiority.

There's no reason for us to leave our readily available intelligent unmanned bombers unused and instead try to outrun the enemy on foot.

However, Pat can't start a fire, so he has to send Dante, his assistant, to help him.

I asked Dante to light a fire not far from us, and then have Pat grab the burning dry branches with his claws and throw them into a pile of dry branches a kilometer away.

But Ding Dian nodded to me, saying that this was no big deal, and immediately turned to leave to carry out the task I had given him.

"Wait!"

Just then, Su Su called out to Dante, who was about to leave.

Dante and I looked at Su Su with confusion, wondering why she had called us over.

Just then, Su Su took out a bamboo tube that had been polished and patinated, handed it to me, and said,

“Master, I still feel there’s something wrong with this, and it’s not safe enough. I have a safer approach.”

"Hmm? Tell me about it."

When Su Su said this, a look of surprise flashed in my eyes. Did Su Su have a better idea than this?

Su Su pointed to the bamboo tube in my hand and said...

"I noticed a long time ago that they are very cautious about this thing, especially when it is near the fire. Haru will take it off and put it aside."

They won't take it away until Haru comes to take over the shift.

Su Su paused for a moment, then continued,

"This tube is the one left behind from the previous batch, which I just stole."

I think we could use a long rope to hold it up, and then ignite the liquid inside when Pat flies a certain distance before pouring it down from the sky.

Then a fire dragon will appear in the sky, igniting not only one field along its flight path, but even if Haru had eight arms, he wouldn't be able to handle it!

As she spoke, Su Su's eyes shone brightly, her expectant expression practically praising him, "See, I'm amazing, aren't I!"

"hiss……"

Hearing Su Su's outrageous words, I gasped. She truly is my good disciple; even her behavior is almost like her master's, perhaps even surpassing him!

She could come up with the idea of ​​setting a large field on fire; those Haru should be grateful to her.

Life is so dull and boring these days. Life should always have some fun and excitement. The work I'm about to do will definitely be "exciting".

There was plenty of fun to be had, but the ones experiencing it were us, not the animals. It was quite interesting to watch this large group of Haru rushing to put out the fire.

To make sure the thing inside was flammable and not some other strange contraption, I immediately pulled out the stopper and sniffed it.

A strong, pungent smell of hydrocarbon compounds wafted towards me.

Gasoline's main components are C4-C12 hydrocarbons, including alkanes, alkenes, cycloalkanes, and aromatics. It seems the composition is quite similar.

Next, I dug a hole in the ground and dripped a few drops of liquid into it.

I know this stuff is similar to gasoline, but its combustion intensity is similar to diesel or kerosene, without violent deflagration. Of course, this doesn't apply if it's highly purified.

I found a small stick and drilled it into a piece of wood for a while. The tip of the stick caught fire like a lit sparkler. I then placed the stick directly onto the ground where the liquid had dripped.

The land immediately caught fire, and I was overjoyed. I quickly dug up the soil to extinguish the fire so that Haru wouldn't discover the unusual situation.

With this item as a help, great things can be accomplished!

I immediately began to modify the bamboo tube, carving a groove on its edge to bind a thin rope.

We also brought some rope in our backpacks, so we only need to take out a few to use, no problem.

Next, a small hole was drilled in the outer wall of the bamboo tube, enough for the liquid inside to flow out. Then, a short piece of a delay wand was inserted horizontally to temporarily block the hole.

The principle is simple: the horizontally inserted time-delay "fairy wand" does not ignite the liquid inside immediately after it leaves us; the liquid only flows out of the hole and is ignited when it is almost burned out.
