Su Sijin looked at Lu Changgong in fear again, took a closer look, and smelled it.
Yes, that faint stench I smelled before.
And the stains on Lu Changgong's body that she ignored were not wood ash at all.
Su Sijin glanced at everyone again and found that their clothes and exposed skin were covered with greasy gray-brown dirt.
Above the cliff was a bare flat land, with endless black soil.
There is no grass or trees here, no living things, and the dark sky is lifeless, making people feel suffocated.
Su Sijin looked around frantically, but the ground didn't seem to be wet.
Su Sijin dug up the soil. The soil underneath was a little dry, but also sticky and had a pungent smell.
Su Sijin's face changed drastically, and it was almost exactly what she had guessed.
Su Sijin was searching everywhere like a headless fly.
Lu Changgong, Jiang Hong and Xu Yongsi, who were confused, also started looking around aimlessly.
But the soil he turned over was the same as the one Su Sijin found, so he knew that this was not what Su Sijin was looking for.
Su Sijin's face looked more solemn than ever before. Lu Changgong grabbed Su Sijin's hand, his eyes dark as he asked silently.
But Su Sijin just shook off his hand and continued searching.
Lu Changgong shook his head helplessly. Seeing Su Sijin's horrified expression, her almond-shaped eyes filled with fear and panic, he knew that Su Sijin had discovered something quite dangerous.
"Ajin, what's wrong? Tell me, don't you say there's strength in numbers? Tell me, and we'll all look for it together."
Su Sijin was so flustered and they couldn't help her, they were really worried.
Su Sijin finally found a patch of black soil a few hundred meters away from the cliff that was clearly different from the others.
The black soil here was wet. Su Sijin solemnly dug up the small pile of soil, only to see inky black liquid gushing out.
It was as if a spring had been dug up, and inky black liquid kept oozing out.
Su Sijin stared in disbelief. She never imagined that the resources that the whole world had fought for in her previous life were now available in Daiyue?
Those who didn't know the truth covered their noses and walked away in disgust, muttering, "What is this? It's black, sticky, and has a bad smell."
Lu Changgong was delighted at first, but then his face turned pale in an instant, "It's asphalt water."
It turns out that petroleum is called asphalt water in Dai Viet.
Jiang Hong and Xu Yongsi looked at each other in bewilderment. They had never heard of lithosphere water.
But judging from the serious expressions of Su Sijin and Lu Changgong, it seemed that he was not a good person.
Otherwise, why would the two of them change when they saw the asphalt water?
And Su Sijin also figured out why the cliff was bare and the fire was getting stronger and stronger. It turned out to be...
Su Sijin came back to her senses in horror and shouted in fear, "Everyone, stay away from the cliff and leave here immediately."
Su Sijin's words were drowned out by the exclamations from the cliff edge, "What's going on? The fire has already burned halfway up the mountain. The entire mountainside is on fire."
"But how is that possible? It's all bare stone, how can it burn?"
Some people, who were superstitious about ghosts, were horrified and said, "Could it be a ghost fire? It's here to take someone's life."
"Oh my God! I haven't done anything unscrupulous. If the ghost fire wants to take my life, go after the bad guys, not me."
The scene suddenly became chaotic, and Su Sijin's words were covered up by someone. Lu Changgong had no choice but to rush to the edge of the cliff and knocked down several tough guys, and the scene finally quieted down.
Su Sijin walked over to the crowd, pointed at the fire on the cliff and explained, "This isn't a will-o'-the-wisp, it's tar water. Everyone doesn't know that tar water is a flammable liquid. Just a few drops can create a devastating fire."
"You might ask, how can this tallow water burn without plants?"
Driver Su looked around and said solemnly, "Everyone knows about tree oil and pork lard, right? Lithospermum oil is over a hundred times more flammable than lard and tree oil. Lithospermum oil is also known as fierce fire oil."
"Fire oil? The fire oil invented by foreigners that is extremely powerful and has great burning capacity?" Xu Yongsi had fought against foreigners before and knew the power of fire oil best.
He had never imagined that there was actually flaming oil in the Dai Viet Dynasty. If it was used on the battlefield, would the Xianbei, the Sakura Kingdom and others dare to invade from time to time?
Su Sijin nodded, "That's right, just as Uncle Xu said, so everyone, let's leave here quickly!"
"The power of kerosene is even worse than a wildfire. If you don't want to die, leave this place immediately."
A lot of time has been wasted trying to appease the out-of-control crowd, and we can't delay any further.
Lu Changgong carried Zheng Jie on his back, Lu Changming carried Lu Qiuling on his back, and Su Sijin supported Shen Tingyun and left here as quickly as possible.
Everyone took care of their own families and fled with the main force.
People were in a panic, and although the escape could not be described as orderly, fortunately there was no stampede.
They thought they could avoid being engulfed by the fire by climbing up the cliff, but they didn't expect that there was some kind of flaming oil waiting for them.
Lu Changgong and his men used their internal energy to reach the front, but the moment they raised their heads, the forest on the left was already on fire.
The cliff behind seemed to have also been on fire. With the help of the kerosene, the fire dragon was spitting sparks with its fangs and claws. With the speed of lightning, the fire was already in sight.
There was a wildfire in front and a raging fire behind, attacking them from both sides and encircling them.
Su Sijin pointed and said, "There seems to be a road over there. Let's go there."
Lu Changgong and Su Sijin arrived first. It was not a road, but a very small cave entrance.
Is God really going to kill her?
I really had reached the end of the road. I had thought that there would be light at the end of the plain, but who would have thought that the surrounding mountains would block my way.
If you want to escape from the pursuit of the fierce oil, you must climb the mountain in front of you.
No, it's not realistic, and crossing the mountains is also a dead end.
Half the sky was already burning red, and soon it was the turn of the one in front of us.
Moreover, the journey over the mountains is slow, and if you are caught in a wildfire, there will be no survivors.
Under the cover of Lu Changgong, Su Sijin used teleportation to a place where there was no wildfire while no one was paying attention.
The grass and trees in front of me are green, the air is moist and fresh, the sound of gurgling water reaches my ears, and the birds sing and the flowers bloom, as if it is a paradise.
This is obviously not the other side of the mountain. It is impossible that there is such a paradise-like place in Dai Viet.
So where is this place? Has she traveled to another time and space?
No, it's impossible. Su Sijin quickly denied her guess because she vaguely heard Tang Peng's scolding voice.
In other words, this place is not far from Lu Changgong and the others, but where is the road?
Where is the road?
Su Sijin didn't understand so she asked, "Xiao Ai, how did you get here from Lu Changgong? I want to know the path you took."
When Su Sijin opened her eyes again, she was already in the cave.
Su Sijin took the invincible flashlight and walked out of the cave. Soon she reached the exit.
No, it's more of an entrance than an exit.
