The volcano is still erupting, and the magma is pouring down the sides of the mountain at the fastest speed, swallowing up all living things on the surface.
The dry grass and trees, fueled by the lava, formed an unstoppable wildfire.
But in just a moment, the wildfire all over the mountain was like a fire dragon roaring, angry, and venting its anger.
The wildfires were burning like giant red dragons, with thick smoke billowing and blocking out the sky.
The burning firewood all over the mountains is like a fire dragon, devouring the dark forest.
Even if some people escape the fate of being melted by the magma, they cannot escape being swallowed by the wildfire.
Those who walked slowly became firemen in an instant, and then were set on fire, their bodies turning into ashes in an instant.
The fire dragon that covered the sky seemed to be playing a cruel game with the struggling people.
The weak are destined to be ruthlessly killed by the fire dragon. The quiet forest is filled with sounds of despair and is chased by the roaring fire dragon.
Tang Peng led the team and ran in the front, so their team suffered no casualties.
However, the wildfires all over the mountains were also chasing them relentlessly.
Su Sijin ran while looking at the wildfire chasing her. There was no possibility of extinguishing such a huge fire.
In the past, even with the use of artificial intelligence, it would have been impossible to put out the fire.
What’s more, the Dai Viet Dynasty had been suffering from severe drought for several months.
It can only be extinguished if there is a heavy downpour.
The volcano is no longer erupting, but the wildfires it causes are the biggest natural disaster, and there is no other way but to escape.
There is still a forest ahead. If you go into the forest, it is unlikely that you can outrun the fire. You will either be swallowed by the wildfire or choked to death by the thick smoke.
Su Sijin's almond-shaped eyes flashed with brilliance, "Lu Changgong, this road won't work. If we continue on this mountain road, we will all be engulfed by wildfires sooner or later."
Without waiting for Lu Changgong to answer, Tang Peng couldn't wait to ask.
"What do you think?" Tang Peng believed Su Sijin's words without a doubt.
If they had not listened to Su Sijin before, they would not have been safe and sound even though they were several miles away from the mountain.
Su Sijin chuckled and pointed forward.
"Lu Changgong, what do you think of that bare cliff?"
They were currently in the mountains and forests, but after crossing a small hill ahead, there was a cliff with no vegetation.
There is no vegetation on top of the cliff, and it is clearly separated from the mountains and forests on this side. To avoid the wildfire, there is no other way except to climb up the cliff.
But… climbing up the cliff is not easy. The men may be able to make it if they grit their teeth and persevere, but what about the women? What about the children?
This is a big gamble. If you win, you will be reborn.
If you lose the bet, you may be broken into pieces.
Lu Changgong's eyes were gloomy. "I think it's feasible."
"How about this, I'll go over and check it out." Su Sijin had a bad feeling, always feeling that there was something strange there.
"No, I'll go." Lu Changgong frowned and refused.
Now that he is well again, how can he let Su Sijin take the lead in everything?
There was another biggest reason why he disagreed. Su Sijin could not reveal the secret in front of these people.
Thousands of eyes were watching him, and he would not allow even the slightest possibility of being exposed.
Lu Changgong held her hand tightly and moved closer to her. He heard Su Sijin's panting and said softly:
"I'll go and inspect it. I want to try. I can't jump up this cliff with my lightness ability. If I can, I can use my lightness ability to get my mother and Qiu Ling up there."
Su Sijin glanced at him sideways, knowing that he was serious. She still insisted on her own opinion, "What you said makes sense, but you know I have... back and forth, it's just a matter of a thought, I..."
Lu Changgong interrupted her and emphasized in an unprecedented stern tone, "Ajin, listen to me, your secret is only mine. Not even mother, my second and third brothers, Xiao Qiuling, or Miss Shen can know it."
"So, listen to me this time. I'll go over and take a look while you convince Tang Peng, Uncle Xu, and... Uncle Jiang."
Su Sijin looked into his deep and serious eyes and said, "Okay, take this."
Under Lu Changgong's cover, Su Sijin took out climbing tools from the space, including several hundred meters of ropes and hooks.
Su Sijin handed her water bag to Lu Changgong again, "Take this water, it can save your life at a critical moment."
Lu Changgong nodded, taking Su Sijin's concern into consideration, gave her some instructions, and then jumped away.
"Sister-in-law, where is my brother going?"
Lu Changming had sharp eyes and he saw everything Lu Changgong did in a flash.
"Second brother, please take care of mother and Qiu Ling. Eldest brother... Eldest brother may have something important to do and will be away for a while." Lu Changji tugged at Lu Changming's sleeve.
This silly second brother, didn’t you see that the eldest sister-in-law’s face looked very solemn?
"My husband has gone to inspect over there. My husband and I believe that we can't outrun the rapidly spreading wildfire on foot."
"Although there is a cliff over there, it is made of rocks and has no vegetation, so it should be able to avoid being engulfed by wildfires."
Jiang Hong nodded upon hearing this and said, "Although it's a dead end, it's also a life-or-death situation. Father, I agree."
Jiang Guan was already old and had just recovered from a serious illness, so he needed to rest, but... now even if Jiang Hong carried him on his back and escaped, his face was frighteningly pale.
Jiang Guan nodded with difficulty, "You are the head of the Jiang family now, so you can make the decision."
Xu Yongsi, Tang Peng and others also believed that this method was feasible. Instead of betting that the wildfire would go out on its own, it would be better to believe that man can conquer nature.
This cliff looks very high and difficult to climb, but difficulties can always be overcome by people.
The wildfire was less than two miles away from them, and they couldn't delay any longer. Tang Peng made a quick decision, "There's a wildfire chasing us from behind, and this area is all mountainous and forested. We can't run non-stop."
"Then, one day, we will be engulfed by wildfire and completely wiped out."
Someone shouted anxiously, "What should we do? Is this the only way out for us?"
"Yes, if we die, we die, but what about me, Shuanzi? He is the only one left in our Liu family, wuwuwu..."
Some people started to cry as they spoke.
"Tang Jieren, please tell us what you have planned. As long as there's a glimmer of hope, even if it only leaves a small amount of bloodline, we will cooperate, right?"
The person who said this was the leader of the disaster victims who joined later. As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a deafening response.
"Yes! Yes! Yes!"
The fugitives had to listen to Tang Peng from the very beginning. They had to obey any order Tang Peng gave without any second choice.
"You guys are killing yourself! You're just standing there like idiots! Wildfire... Ouch! Run!"
The people who caught up with them saw Su Sijin and others standing still, and urged them anxiously.
More and more people joined in the persuasion. They thought that Su Sijin had given up on living and chose to die in despair.
In response to their kindness, Su Sijin said a few words, "We are going to climb over that cliff, will you join us?"
