In any case, the plan of "setting fire to the monster" has become feasible to a certain extent.

As long as the Swamp of Evil can be ignited and assuming that it can be more than half established, Qin Xiaoxia is confident that he can ignite it.

As for how to ignite it, Qin Xiaoxia also had an idea in mind.

Although the self-vaunted "reaction technique" has great limitations, the shortcomings of the nightmare swamp itself are also very obvious.

"Doudou, do you know the Weaver's spells? It doesn't have to be too complicated, just the basics, like fire?"

Fortunately, Doudou was reliable this time.

Arson was an important part of the pranks of the Poltergeist, and he knew a little bit about it, if it was just the basics.

After learning all this, Qin Xiaoxia didn't know whether he should be glad that Doudou didn't set fire to his own house as a prank.

Facts have proved that Qin Xiaoxia's talent in using magic is far better than Doudou's.

It is simple to use magic to weave flames. Doudou said that it took him three months to learn how to produce sparks, but Qin Xiaoxia only needed two hours to weave flames stably.

Of course, this may be related to the fact that Doudou's wishing magic is too special and thus weakens other abilities.

Now that he can use magic power, he no longer has to worry about the problem of arson. Qin Xiaoxia has fallen into reverie.

"If the oxygen concentration of the methane gas in the swamp is suddenly increased and it encounters a fire, it will be a disaster."

However, if my guess is wrong, the Swamp of Nightmare itself does not emit methane gas at all, or it cannot be ignited.

With his and Doudou's current abilities, they cannot withstand the swamp head-on, so they can only trust the government.

Since Qin Xiaoxia’s magic power has just awakened.

The two of them were very excited and studied it for a long time.

…

The next day, when Qin Xiaoxia and Doudou went to the river again with sparse eyelids, they were completely dumbfounded.

The water level in the dredged section of Wanniuqiu River has dropped significantly. We have to admire the high efficiency of this cleaning company. They probably started pumping water non-stop last night.

But Qin Xiaoxia forgot one of the natures of human beings, especially the Chinese, which is to watch the fun.

Even though this river has turned into a stinking river, there are still many people watching.

Some people even came with scoop nets and buckets.

Do you want to fish in a river like this?

Even if you really catch some fish, brothers and uncles, you are not really planning to take it back to eat, right?

"What should we do?"

Doudou looked at Qin Xiaoxia, hoping to see if his "cousin" had any good ideas.

But Qin Xiaoxia had no choice. River dredging was different from house demolition, and there seemed to be no one to maintain order and prevent onlookers.

He mobilized his magic power and secretly sensed the location of the Swamp of Evil.

Fortunately, the more the water level decreases, the more the swamp flows to places with more water. Now it is "trapped" in the low-lying area in the center of the dredging section.

However, at the current rate of pumping water, it will almost see the light of day before the afternoon.

So many people might be in danger of their lives, but Qin Xiaoxia couldn't pretend not to see it.

…

In a telephone booth, Qin Xiaoxia was holding the phone, his tone quite worried.

"Yes, yes, yes! The uncles and grandpas around here are holding nets and preparing to catch fish. You know that stinky river, it's seriously polluted..."

"Those fishermen take the fish away and sell them at the village entrance. My cousin bought this kind of fish a few days ago because he wanted to save money. He is still in the hospital. Police comrades, you can't let this happen! These people should just eat the fish themselves and die. It's wrong for them to come out and harm others!"

"Yes, yes, you are right, they themselves cannot eat..."

"Okay, okay, come and have a look."

After saying that, Qin Xiaoxia hung up the phone directly without paying any attention to the person on the other end asking for his identity information.

Qingzhen Police Station was not far away, and a police car arrived at the scene in less than ten minutes.

The policeman frowned at the smell and looked towards the river. Sure enough, there were quite a few people holding net bags and looking into the river. Most of them were older, and since it was the weekend, there were also quite a few children watching the fun.

"Are these people really planning to eat the fish here? Are there any fish down here?"

Several policemen were at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

Logically speaking, this matter should not be under the jurisdiction of the police station, but should be handed over to the Qingzhen Street Office or the River Management Committee. However, in small towns, there is no need to make such a clear distinction once in a while, so the police are dispatched directly.

A total of four policemen quickly ran to the river and began to persuade the crowd.

"Uncle, uncle, the fish here are inedible, don't catch them."

"Comrade, river regulation is a key environmental protection project of the government, please do not hinder the work..."

Some old men walked briskly carrying net bags.

"This is a damn river. I haven't seen a single fish in the whole morning. Not even a dead fish. Let's go, let's go..."

Of course, there are also some that I would like to visit nearby.

At this time, people from the River Management Committee also arrived late, wearing red armbands and asking the crowd of onlookers to stay away from the river.

People come here to catch fish or watch people catch fish. If they can't catch any fish and someone is taking care of them, they naturally won't stay there and smell the stench.

They began to disperse.

But at this time, the crowd that had just left in the distance began to gather back on the river bank.

"What is that?"

"There's a big thing moving in the river!"

"What is this? It's pitch black and stinks."

…

Someone shouted loudly, attracting everyone's attention.

Everyone, including the police and the management committee, subconsciously gathered there to see what was going on.

Qin Xiaoxia and Doudou clapped their hands on their faces in perfect sync from behind.

Due to the problem of magic power consumption, Qin Xiaoxia could not keep sensing the Ominous Swamp. He did not know when the Ominous Swamp had moved to the current shallow water area.

Some of the dirty shapes can be seen by people on the shore through the turbid but shallow water surface.

At first, they only saw a little bit and people thought it was a big fish or something.

But as more and more places were seen, the terrifying form of the Swamp of Nightmare gradually revealed itself.

When it is only a few meters in size, people will want to catch this "big fish". Even when it is ten meters in size, people will be surprised but will also watch with interest. But when the size of this thing is close to half an acre, the situation changes.

Especially when the movement of this unknown object becomes more and more violent.

Several policemen had sweat on their foreheads. The leading officer, Officer Zhao, turned on the intercom and signaled to his colleagues behind him.

"Evacuate the people, quickly!"

In fact, they didn't need to evacuate deliberately, the crowd was already retreating.

But there are also alternatives.

Some older people actually put their hands together and worshipped towards the river, while some young people did not forget to take out their mobile phones to shoot videos.

"Shit, there are so many dead cats and dogs in this thing, and there are also those fish..."

The worshippers were dispersed first, and those who were filming the video retreated and filmed with their mobile phones, which actually got closer to the river bank.

Qin Xiaoxia and Doudou already felt that something was wrong. Even without using magic, they knew from their keen perception that the aura of the Swamp of Evil was beginning to become violent.

Qin Xiaoxia had an impulse for a moment and wanted to run to the river and pull away the people who were filming the video, but it was just an impulse and he did not take any action.

After a few seconds, he was glad for the decision.

Before anyone could react, a mass of mud splashed up from the river.

In an instant, it covered two of the people taking the photos, while the rest were avoided by people.

“Ah~~~~”

The corrosive pain made the two men scream immediately.

Seeing this, a policeman rushed over without thinking and grabbed one of them, trying to drag him out of the mud.

The result was that what felt like a thread of scattered mud pulled the three people back into the river in vain, and the screams stopped abruptly after they entered the river.

“Run~~~~~~~”

Qin Xiaoxia roared at the top of his lungs from behind.

A small number of people who had been stunned for a moment by what they had just seen suddenly woke up from their dreams and fled in all directions away from the river bank.

“Run!”

"Go away... don't look back..."
