It flew to the furthest point in the range and landed, then pushed out black fire from its palm. Watching the flames rise little by little, it exploded with a bang, scattering countless sparks.

The firelight illuminated Zuo Ling's face. The first time she entered, she had poured a huge amount of gasoline into the forest. Zuo Ling had gone to great lengths to deal with the person behind the island.

They took off and arrived at the second location, where they unleashed black flames, repeating the process continuously. The fire grew larger and the temperature rose higher and higher.

Startled, the birds took flight, causing panic among countless species.

When the first wild animal darted out of the forest, the armed personnel waiting in the helicopter perked up – they were finally here!

The base was short of food, and Zuo Ling was unwilling to leave empty-handed, hoping to take the opportunity to get more food to take back.

Hordes of wild rabbits, frighteningly large rats, pheasants running in panic, a spectacular number of crocodiles, wolves, wild goats, deer... densely packed, they all fell into the trenches that had been dug in advance.

Before long, a huge military net was filled. As the helicopter ascended, the net became too heavy and was pulled downwards.

The pilot was sweating profusely. The Apache helicopter was carrying over 10 tons of cargo, and before the operation, everything that could be moved from the aircraft had been unloaded.

Everyone thought Zuo Lingyi was being delusional. No matter how many wild animals there were, they weren't legless; would they walk in the direction you expected?

But no one expected that Zuo Ling would start such a big fire; in just over ten minutes, the fire had spread.

The size of the fire wasn't the key issue; the key was that she left an escape route for the wild animals, demonstrating an incredibly precise fire control ability.

Bai Hongwei stared nervously at the island, constantly moving his binoculars, trying to find Zuo Ling. Thick smoke billowed, obscuring everything.

The helicopter struggled to climb upwards; it was too heavy, heavier than anyone could have imagined.

The pilot was both nervous and excited; if the plane were to crash due to a heavy object, it would be a real disaster.

The armed personnel crouching at the cabin door were sweating profusely, ready at any moment to save the helicopter even if it was overloaded and the aircraft could not be sustained.

One by one, the wild animals caught in the net died. Xiao Hao remained expressionless, his lips slightly pale.

In the Shu region, in a hidden mountain cave.

The withered, gray old man is intently absorbing the life force from the heart-shaped object, hmm?

The old man opened his eyes and looked at the two heart-shaped objects on the wall. One was normal, while the other was dented, its life force rapidly draining away.

The old man frowned. What was wrong?

He quickly made a series of hand gestures, pointing to the abnormal heart-shaped object.

At the same time, from the island shrouded in thick smoke, thousands of vines burst forth and attacked the fleeing wild animals, while strange patterns on the ground appeared and disappeared intermittently.

The collapsed heart-shaped object gradually swelled up, and the old man nodded in satisfaction.

Close your eyes and continue to absorb the vitality within; your gray hair turns green strand by strand.

The helicopter swayed as it unloaded a large net full of game onto a site that the warship had cleared in advance.

The number of wild animals exceeded expectations, filling the open space to the brim, and a large section of the warship sank.

Twenty-odd armed soldiers stared nervously at the large net, which contained wolves and crocodiles. If a few of them suddenly jumped out, it would be a serious problem.

Strangely, the wild animals did not fight each other; they all seemed to be asleep, completely still.

If you didn't see them hopping and jumping into the trench, you would really think they were dead things.

After unloading the heavy load, the pilot breathed a sigh of relief, and several armed personnel high-fived each other in celebration.

Many of these wild animals are meat; my stomach is watering.

After the first helicopter finished unloading, the other helicopter, having received the order, eagerly took off.

But at that moment, dozens of vines attacked the prey in the net.

"Up, up, up, faster, faster."

The armed men guarding the hatch shouted at the top of their lungs.

The pilot pushed the control stick sharply. There were too many wild animals in the net. Although the opening had been tightened in advance, many of the animals were frightened by the fire and clung tightly to the net, increasing the helicopter's load.

Xiao Hao's expression changed, and he used his consciousness to strike the wild animals outside the net. The wild animals were unconscious, but they still did not let go of his claws.

The second helicopter struggled to climb even more than the first. Vines shot high into the air, and several thick vines pierced the net. Everyone watched helplessly as wild animals were sucked dry.

Bang, bang, bang... Several gunshots rang out as armed men fired, snapping the vines.

More vines stretched their tentacles into the air, the thickest one almost reaching the armed man guarding the hatch, startling him so much that he fell backward.

Unable to reach the delicious food, the vines emitted an angry, childlike voice; unable to reach the ones in the air, they turned their attention to the warship.

Although I was mentally prepared, I still panicked when I actually saw thousands of vines coming at me as if they were alive.

Rat-a-tat-tat, tat-tat-tat, rows of bullets shot out.

Whoosh, whoosh... The flamethrower spewed out tongues of fire that reached tens of meters high.

Hidden caves in the Shu region.

The heart-shaped object thumped rapidly, waking the elderly man who was recovering from his injuries.

The old man's face was gloomy as he calculated with his hand which extraordinary person had intruded on the island.

Before he could calculate the situation clearly, his blood rushed to his head, and he groaned as he spat out a mouthful of black blood.

He was seriously injured, his vital energy was greatly depleted, his supernatural abilities were impaired, and his divination abilities were much worse than before.

After finally managing to recover a little, a single setback can wipe it all out.

The heart-shaped object flickered, its veins, thick and thin, were clearly visible, contracting incessantly as if alive, the sound growing increasingly rapid.

Wiping the bloodstains from the corner of his mouth and suppressing his discomfort, the old man swallowed two pills in quick succession. His eyes were filled with ruthlessness as he made a series of even more obscure hand gestures.

After a few seconds of hesitation, the vines that were attacking the warship suddenly split into more tiny vines, which then surrounded the warship in layers.
