Chapter 22 Swallowing Fire Explosion Thunder (Dark Cold Crystal)
"Chief, we..."
A young man who was standing close to the leader of the Wuya tribe could no longer sit still when he saw this scene. He stepped forward and wanted to say a few more words to the leader.
However, before he could make a move, the leader of the Wuya tribe had already anticipated his move, and immediately raised his hand and made a "calm down" gesture.
Seeing that the patriarch had a plan in mind, the young man immediately stepped back and waited to see what would happen.
The fire created by Xu Ren'er and others grew bigger and bigger, and the silk was burned bit by bit and turned into ashes.
After a while, the fire slowly died down and the silk was almost burned out.
but! ! !
Just when Xu Ren'er and the others thought the situation was going well, it suddenly took a turn for the worse.
"Be careful, sister!"
Shangguan Jieshu frowned, suddenly feeling something was wrong. He looked around and found that a ball of fire was spreading around in the area closest to Shangguan Shujie, and it seemed to be getting bigger.
This discovery made him feel uneasy. He stared at the fire intently. The next second, the fire suddenly lengthened and rushed towards Shangguan Shujie's back.
Shangguan Jieshu noticed it and immediately shouted to remind him.
Fortunately, Shangguan Shujie seemed to have a natural sensitivity to crises, as if she had been walking alone in the bloody storm for many years.
Before Shangguan Jieshu reminded her, Shangguan Shujie felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere around her.
When the fire broke out, even though she didn't see what was happening behind her, she relied on her intuition formed by years of experience to immediately turn four times to the left and successfully avoided danger.
This sudden change caught everyone present off guard. Tang Qiuyue was stunned and muttered:
"So fire can also have self-awareness..."
"no."
Nie Mufeng shook his head and pointed to the place where Shangguan Shujie had avoided, which happened to be the direction where the fire had just come from, and explained:
"It's the bugs in the fire that are controlling the fire."
Nie Erfeng walked over to Nie Mufeng, patted him on the shoulder, took off his earmuffs, listened carefully, and then finished what Nie Mufeng wanted to say:
"Those insects hidden in the silk are completely unafraid of fire and have the ability to swallow and expel fire. The fire we create burns the silk, but most of it is actually swallowed by these insects."
Nie Mufeng nodded slightly, agreeing with Nie Erfeng's statement, and added:
“When I first saw these bugs, they were just tiny eggs. However, as our fire built up, I discovered that their souls were growing larger.
In other words, the fire ripened them prematurely and accelerated their growth and evolution."
Tang Beiju frowned: "According to what you said, we shouldn't make fire to burn silk. It will be counterproductive."
The original intention was to destroy the silk and the insect eggs inside the silk, but unexpectedly, the silk was destroyed, but it catalyzed the growth of the insect eggs, causing them to hatch into adult insects ahead of time.
Zhui Du lowered his head and pondered, his brain continuing to work rapidly. After a long while, he stepped forward and said:
"No! On the contrary, our work was not in vain.
If I'm not mistaken, these bugs should be fire-swallowing thunder monsters."
Liu Roulei: "Swallowing fire and exploding thunder?"
Mo Youli stepped forward and patiently explained to everyone:
"The Fire-Swallowing Explosive Thunder is a very rare species among insects. They only live for half an hour, and most of them live in extremely cold and dark areas.
Most of the eggs they lay are stuffed into the innermost part of the ice, blending almost perfectly with the color of the ice, making them very difficult to distinguish.
"They live in an extremely cold and dark area, and they're actually called Fire Swallowing and Thunder Explosion?"
Tang Qiuyue was very puzzled.
Shangguan Shujie stepped forward, looked at Tang Qiuyue softly, and guessed in a gentle voice:
"I think the Fire-Swallowing Explosion Thunder must have had a previous name. I think it was probably an ancestor of the Mist Sprout Clan who, by chance, discovered the attack characteristics of the Fire-Swallowing Explosion Thunder and changed its name to the Fire-Swallowing Explosion Thunder. But..."
Shangguan Shujie frowned and gently moved her chin away, her eyes full of confusion. "I understand the meaning of 'swallowing fire,' but why is there the word 'explosion'?"
Mo Youli and Zhui Du looked at each other. Zhui Du nodded, and Mo Youli continued to explain patiently:
“Just as Shangguan Shujie guessed, the Fire-Swallowing Explosive Thunder did have a former name, called Dark Cold Crystal, which was named after its living characteristics.
In the past, although people discovered the existence of this type of insect, they did not know what kind of attack properties this type of insect had, so even if people discovered it, they ignored its existence for a long time.
Later, about fifty years ago, a young man who had just turned eighteen came to the residence of the Fire-Swallowing Explosion Thunder. He wanted to study whether the Fire-Swallowing Explosion Thunder had other abilities besides those in the books and to tap into the potential of the Fire-Swallowing Explosion Thunder. Thus, he discovered the Fire-Swallowing Explosion Thunder.
The meaning of explosive thunder is that when the life of the fire-swallowing explosive thunder is about to run out, it will suddenly start to explode, making a thunderous sound when it explodes.
The loudness of the sound and the ferocity of its power are beyond ordinary people's imagination, and its destructive power is extremely strong."
Speaking of this, Zhui Du, who was standing aside, looked towards the leader of the Wuya tribe, his eyes full of respect and fear for the strong. He said:
“That eighteen-year-old youth is the leader of the Wuya tribe we are dealing with now.
Back then, he relied on this research discovery to successfully ascend the throne of the Wuya tribe leader at the age of eighteen, becoming the youngest tribe leader in the tribe's history.
Xu Ren'er: "The Fire-Swallowing Explosive Thunder's living conditions are limited. So how are they transported here, and how do they become a part of this formation?"
Zhui Du shook his head, indicating that he didn't know:
"This is the clan leader's unique skill, and only the clan leader knows it."
Shangguan Jieshu listened to their extensive scientific lecture, but didn't hear any solution to the problem. He immediately became anxious and asked urgently:
"Then what should we do now? If we don't get rid of the Fire-Swallowing Explosive Thunder as soon as possible, how will Zhui Du be able to meet Zhui Dao?"
"Don't be anxious. The more urgent the situation, the more you need to stay calm and think about solutions."
Xu Ren'er spoke, suppressing Shangguan Jieshu's anxiety.
She glanced at the leader of the Mist Sprout Tribe who was watching their movements not far away. Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind, and she couldn't help but ask in his direction:
"You anticipated that we would use fire attacks?"
Hearing Xu Ren'er's words, a smile flashed across the eyes of the Wuya tribe leader. Without thinking, he replied slowly:
“I personally set up this formation, and it took me decades to use. Naturally, it takes into account all the corresponding solutions you can think of.
No matter which method you choose, in my formation, I will eventually lead you step by step, and you will eventually choose the path of fire attack. It is only a matter of time.
but……"
The Wuya tribe leader's eyes revealed a hint of appreciation, and he praised:
"Before the insect eggs even started to grow, they were able to quickly think of a fire attack and how to create one.
You are a malleable talent.”
After all, the difficulty of dealing with a catalyzed fire-swallowing bomb is obviously different from that of a normal fire-swallowing bomb.
Generally speaking, even if many people think of fire attack, it is difficult for them to quickly figure out how to use it. As long as time is delayed, they can basically wait until the insect eggs hatch, and by that time, it is too late.
Xu Ren'er raised his eyebrows, and immediately heard the hidden meaning of the Wuya tribe leader. He looked at Mo Youli and asked:
"Is there any difference between a Fire-Swallowing Explosive Thunder that has been prematurely matured and a Fire-Swallowing Explosive Thunder that has grown normally?"
Mo Youli was confused by Xu Ren'er's sudden question, but he still replied honestly:
"A Fire-Swallowing Explosive Thunder that has been forced to mature cannot suddenly explode at the end of its lifespan.
Because their consciousness is still at the stage of insect eggs, they think they are still young and do not think that their lifespan is coming to an end, so they cannot understand the use of self-explosion.
Now we have forced the Fire-Swallowing Thunder to mature, and now they only have the most primitive functions, which is to swallow and breathe fire."
This is also why Zhui Du said that their creation of fire to attack silk and insect eggs was not in vain.
They won in time and speed.
Fire attack is a necessary step in breaking the formation.
Fortunately, the critical time of their fire attack happened to be before the insect eggs grew.
So that's how it is. Xu Ren'er understood.
No wonder the Wuya tribe leader praised her for her quick thinking. It turned out to be referring to this point, but...
Xu Ren'er shifted his gaze to the freely moving fireballs around him, his face showing difficulty.
However, even dealing with these free and random fire sprays is not that simple.
"Ren'er, I have an idea."
Mo Youli saw that Xu Ren'er had an unusual expression on his face. After years of getting along with each other, he suddenly realized Xu Ren'er's difficulties.
He also wanted to help Ren'er share his worries and solve his problems. During this experience with the Wuya tribe, Ren'er didn't seem to have much to do, but he knew very well that Ren'er was the one with the most pressure among them.
Unconsciously, everyone regarded Xu Ren'er as the backbone, and tacitly believed that Xu Ren'er was the core figure who could help them overcome all difficulties.
Mo Youli was frantically thinking of countermeasures in his mind. He carefully recalled all the knowledge he had about the Fire-Swallowing Explosive Thunder, hoping to find even a little bit of a solution from it.
Perhaps God saw his intention to help Xu Ren'er, his brain suddenly turned cold, and he calmed down completely in an instant, and his thoughts floated into his mind in an instant.
He thought of it!!
Having successfully come up with an idea, Mo Youli was overjoyed. He quickly walked towards Xu Ren'er and said to him.
When Xu Ren'er heard that there was actually a feasible solution, he immediately stepped forward and asked:
"What's the idea?"
Mo Youli restrained his joy and said:
"Ren'er, think carefully about what I said earlier about the Fire-Swallowing Explosive Thunder. Their initial habitat is in an extremely cold and dark area. This is the place they first identify as home. At least, for the immature eggs, they only recognize the extremely cold and dark place as their breeding ground."
"right."
"And now, although these Fire-Swallowing Explosive Thunders have been forced to mature physically by us, their minds are still insect eggs. They should still be more eager to stay in the extremely cold and dark place.
It doesn't necessarily have to be dark, but at least it has to be an extremely cold environment."
Having said this, Xu Ren'er suddenly understood what Mo Youli meant, and his eyes suddenly shone brightly.
