The fire spread quickly, and Li Sheng had already dug a firebreak. There was a shallow layer of water inside the firebreak, and the heat waves were hitting him from his current location.
It wasn't just the heatwave that hit them; the small animals in the forest were also fleeing towards them desperately. Li Sheng looked towards the monkey grove in another direction, praying that the fire wouldn't spread to that side.
He and the Monkey King still have some connection.
He could already see the fire in the forest. That was all he could do. If he stayed there, he might put himself in danger.
He quickly picked up his weapon and retreated. When he returned to the shelter, he saw that everyone had been properly taken care of. He knew that the biggest contributor was definitely the Milk Team.
The water supply to the shelter had been cut off, but the reservoir was still full, and almost the entire shelter was wet, making it less likely to catch fire.
Li Sheng looked up at the sky. He hadn't noticed it before, but now he realized that there was a thick layer of cumulus clouds in the sky, and the whole sky seemed to be slowly getting dark, which was very gloomy and oppressive.
This is a sign that another heavy rainstorm is coming, though we don't know when it will start, but at least the fire won't continue.
The fire started by God still needs to be extinguished by God himself. The barrier that Li Sheng made was very effective. The flames that were rapidly devouring living beings were blocked by the shallow ditch that Li Sheng made.
They didn't continue forward, but there were still many burning leaves or sparks blown by the wind, igniting the dry grass and dead wood, just as Li Sheng had predicted.
At this point, he had to do what he could to prevent the shelter from being affected. He cut off a branch with lush green leaves, soaked it in the water tank, and then quickly ran towards the place where the fire had already started to burn.
Use wet branches to extinguish the fire, and keep an eye on the shelter along the firebreak, making sure not to miss anything, as it would be very dangerous if the fire got out of control.
The fire reached this area and was contained by an invisible barrier, but it showed no signs of abating and continued to burn into the adjacent forest.
Those monkeys are probably going to move.
After circling the shelter several times, and finding no more fires that he needed to put out himself, Li Sheng climbed onto the roof of the shelter and stood at the highest point, observing everything.
He also controls everything; he is defending his territory.
Suddenly, a clap of thunder sounded in the sky, and large raindrops fell on the top of his head; it was going to rain.
He breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that a heavy rain would bring an end to this unwarranted trouble.
only……
He had a bad feeling about it for some reason.
The weather has been so unpredictable lately. It was incredibly hot and humid before, but these past two nights I've felt a slight chill while sleeping. This is really strange.
Logically, this shouldn't be a particularly cold climate.
Just as he was thinking, he suddenly felt a sharp pain and a cold sensation in his head. Li Sheng immediately covered his head with his hands and hurried down to the shelter.
It suddenly started hailing!
This weather is crazy, isn't it?
Meanwhile, Naituan and Dameizi had already quickly retreated into the cabin. They looked at the hailstones outside, which were falling like thunderbolts. The hailstones were quite large, some as big as Naituan's little fist.
However, Cuihua rushed out without hesitation after the dense hail fell, and her child was taken to the rocky beach.
Who would have thought this would happen? The milk team really meant well but messed things up this time.
The leopard cubs were howling pitifully on the rocky beach, while the seawater was rising at a visible speed.
The little girl cried anxiously, "Daddy, did I do something wrong? I didn't mean to. I wanted to protect them."
Li Sheng hugged the baby and gently comforted them, "Don't cry, the baby did nothing wrong. We can't always make completely correct judgments. Some things are unpredictable. They'll be alright. Daddy will save them."
But at this moment, the baby grabbed her father's hand: "But it's very dangerous."
Li Sheng smiled and patted the baby's head: "Believe in Daddy."
At this time, the straw hat and raincoat came in handy again.
Cuihua had overcome numerous difficulties and brought back a baby cub, but it was in a sorry state, badly injured by the hail. Yet, it still rushed back to its children without hesitation.
Li quickly put on his raincoat and straw hat, as he needed to get there before the tide submerged him.
In the past, Li Sheng would carefully and slowly climb down, but this time he couldn't look back so much. He calculated the footholds with his eyes and ran down. He almost fell several times, but he regained his balance immediately thanks to his overall physical fitness.
He was even faster than Cuihua in getting down there.
Li Sheng showed no mercy to the snakes in the two cages, throwing them up like shot puts without any gentleness.
Fortunately, Li Sheng had some skills; after all, he was a legend on the school basketball team many years ago.
Cuihua quickly picked up one of the chicks and carried it up. One of the other two chicks had been smashed and was on the verge of death. Li Sheng sandwiched the two chicks under his armpit, while holding the chicken coop in his other hand.
However, going up is much more difficult than coming down. There are many reefs, and they are all very sharp. If you are not careful and fall, you will definitely bleed.
Although the thick hat provided good protection, it still caused a dull ache when hail hit my head.
In just a moment, the tide had reached Li Sheng's ankles, and a large wave was crashing in from behind.
He could only climb upwards as quickly as possible, but he couldn't outrun the waves. Soon, towering waves were right behind Li Sheng, and he was swallowed up by them.
Everyone's hearts were in their throats. Many people were regretting that Li Sheng was not there. Many said that if Li Sheng had been in the crisis, he would definitely be a hero, but many more people said that he was stupid.
"I don't know whether I should say this or not, but it's not worth doing something so dangerous for animals."
"People should be humane. Even if they have some feelings, they are still just animals."
"It's such a waste to lose your life for a few beasts."
...
These people's stance was not wrong, but what they did was also not wrong.
Even if he had to do it all over again, he would still make the same choice. These little guys represent not only his feelings but also his hope of winning the championship.
No one knew how much desire lay beneath his seemingly calm exterior; he had to get first place.
It's not just because of that agreement.
