Chapter 140 Nine Lives Are Enough
The pit collapsed!
Suddenly, screams of terror were heard everywhere.
Su Ying reacted immediately and threw off the rope around her wrist, but there was little vegetation around the slope and the barbs on the rope could not grab anything for support.
The collapsed mudslide hit her face hard, and more people fell from above and screamed.
"Help! Help!"
Su Ying's body fell on the people below. After stabilizing herself, she quickly stood up, looked around and tried to find a way to leave, but the area around the pit was like a vortex that sucked them deeply into the ground.
Su Ying looked up and saw someone pouring something into the pit.
Su Ying dodged away, went forward and smelled it, her face darkened, it was tung oil.
Those people wanted to burn them to death!
Soon, her guess was confirmed and the torch was thrown in.
Those who had the oil poured on them instantly caught fire.
The earth pit suddenly collapsed, and this sudden change startled the people who were picking up copper coins nearby. They screamed in fear and wanted to run away, but as soon as they turned around, they found bursts of white smoke rising around the earth slope, and the earth slope was on fire!
"There's a fire, there's a fire, there's a forest fire, everyone run!"
"Run quickly! There's a wildfire!"
Everyone scattered like birds and beasts.
Although the vegetation on Tupo Mountain was not thick, there was still a lot of it. In addition, it was autumn drought, so it caught fire all of a sudden. In a blink of an eye, the entire Tupo Mountain was surrounded by fire.
The thick smoke from the fire turned almost the entire sky gray.
Number One and his friends were doing perception training by the stream and when they looked up at the sky, they felt something was strange.
"Why did the sky suddenly become gray?"
"Do you smell anything? Like something is burning?"
Qiao Yang, whose legs were shaking from squatting in horse stance, stood up suddenly, looked against the direction of the wind, and saw a faint glow of fire.
"Look ahead, is there a forest fire over there? Look!"
Everyone came out of the water and looked in the direction Qiao Yang pointed, and sure enough, they saw flames jumping.
"What direction is that?"
"It's the dirt slope behind us. How did it catch fire? I remember when I passed by there for training before, there were no people there."
Number One frowned, "A forest fire is no small matter. Although our area is a little far from that area, it's dry right now. If the mountain wind blows, it's very likely to burn towards us. Everyone, gather and get down the mountain now."
Su Ying said that when she was not around, everyone had to obey the orders of No. 1, so when they heard what No. 1 said, they all came out of the water and gathered back.
Many people who wanted to pick up money on the slope, but before they could get up there, found that the slope was on fire. They were so scared that they ran away quickly, fearing that they would be burned to ashes if they were a little slower.
For a wildfire like this, it is basically impossible to stop it until everything that can be burned is burned.
Xiao Jin sat in the yard, looking up at the sky that was gradually becoming foggy. His brows subconsciously knitted together, and his heartbeat inexplicably quickened.
He subconsciously looked upstairs and could still hear the sound of children reading. He turned around and called Su Ying.
But no one responded.
"Su Ying, where is Su Ying?"
Tian Mu heard the noise and came over from the backyard. "The master is looking for the lady. She asked me to pull the charcoal back and then went to the dirt slope behind. Someone said that they found some silver coins on the dirt slope, so the lady went to check the situation."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jin's brows furrowed even more tightly. How could there be silver and money all over the floor for no reason in a place like this? There was clearly something wrong.
"Jiang Yang, go to the slope with Wang Su immediately to see what's going on."
"yes."
As soon as Jiang Yang and his companions arrived at the foot of the slope, they saw a raging fire on it, and their hearts immediately rose to their throats.
Wang Su grabbed a man running down the mountain and asked, "What's going on? Why is there a fire on the mountain?"
The other party was obviously frightened, with a look of fear in his eyes, "No, I don't know. It was fine at the beginning, I don't know why it suddenly caught fire."
Wang Su let go, and the man ran away, tumbling.
The two of them looked at the blazing fire on the slope, feeling frightened no matter how they looked at it. They didn't know if the lady had come down. With such a big fire, if someone was on the mountain...
They dare not think deeply!
When Lian Qiao escaped from the slope, he almost bumped into Wang Su.
Wang Su quickly dodged to the side, but when he saw Lian Qiao was about to fall, he pulled her up.
Lian Qiao was pulled by him to avoid sitting on the ground. After she steadied herself, she said gratefully, "Thank you, big brother."
Wang Su shook his head indifferently, but Lian Qiao recognized Jiang Yang beside him.
"Big brother, please find a way to save that powerful sister."
The two were immediately attracted by Lian Qiao's words?
Jiang Yang was puzzled, "Do you recognize me?"
Lian Qiao nodded. In fact, she was hiding in the yard and saw the two of them rescue Lin Zhuyu and the others and bring them back last time.
"Well, you followed those powerful sisters, right? I saw that sister go up the mountain, and I followed her at the time, but we were some distance apart. I, I saw that sister fall into the pit..."
"What did you say? Madam fell into a pit on the slope? How could there be a pit on a slope that is always flat?"
Lian Qiao explained: "The pit was dug a few days ago. At that time, everyone was picking up silver coins beside the pit. Later, the pit collapsed and the sister fell in. Then someone suddenly set it on fire..."
"You mean, someone set the mountain on fire after the madam fell in?"
Lian Qiao nodded.
Jiang Yang and Wang Su clenched their fists.
Wang Su said: "Jiang Yang, go back and explain the situation to the master immediately. I will go to the Tiger Camp right now to ask Hu Wei to help put out the fire."
"good."
The two men split into two groups and quickly turned around and left.
Lian Qiao shook his head as he watched the two people leave. Not to mention whether the earth pit would bury people, just the fire that burned the sky black, it would be difficult for anyone to survive in such a dangerous situation. Even if they were found, the bodies would probably be unrecognizable...
At this time, on the other side of the earth pit, the people from the Qinglong Camp looked at the blazing fire with excitement.
Some people from the Qinglong Camp quickly ran back from the direction of the slope.
"Twelve Commander, the earth slope is completely on fire. I saw with my own eyes that woman Su Ying fell into the earth slope. This time, even if she has nine lives, it will be enough for her to die!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Tong showed a victorious smile on his face. He didn't believe that Su Ying would be able to appear alive this time!
"It's such a shame that I didn't get to see her burn to ashes."
