Meng Fei nodded solemnly and began to retreat with the little animals.
Under the guidance of Erye, they chose a hazelwood forest at the foot of the mountain. There were few trees several meters tall here, mostly low bushes.
It is the best place to build a firebreak.
"Dog!! Here's your sickle! Knock down all these hazelnuts!! At least dig out a firebreak that's 200 meters long and 5 meters wide!! I know this task is difficult for both of us, but we can only delay the spread of the fire as much as possible and wait for the forest fire rescue!"
Meng Fei nodded solemnly and was about to swing the sickle when he heard the howling of wolves and the braying of wild boars in the distance.
"Great!! The first batch of rescue has arrived!" Meng Fei was shocked and said excitedly.
In a short while, nearly a hundred figures of all sizes rushed out of the forest and came to Meng Fei.
As the fire was getting more intense, Meng Fei didn't waste any time and gave orders directly.
"We are going to dig a firebreak now! We need your help. You will go along the foot of the valley and uproot all the grass and trees as you pass by! Remember! Not a single blade of grass can be left behind!"
Hearing Meng Fei's words, the Wolf King and the Wild Boar King roared at their own tribes and started to get busy.
Erye was shocked. He knew that these small animals were human-like, but he didn't expect them to be so human-like!
And he can actually follow Meng Fei's accurate instructions!
However, Meng Fei's subsequent actions made Erye completely doubt his life.
Meng Fei took a deep breath and closed his eyes.
When I opened my eyes again, there was an identical figure beside me, who grabbed a sickle and started swinging it.
"Dog!!!! You!!!!" Erye exclaimed.
"Second Master!! I will explain to you after it's over! Put out the fire first!" Meng Fei said seriously.
"Yeah!! Okay!!!" Although Erye was full of doubts in his heart, he still chose to remain silent and began to swing the sickle.
"BOOM!!" With a loud noise, a red pine tree that was so thick that two people could hug it fell down not far away.
Three small figures were running away quickly under the tree. They were really a family of otters.
After hearing Meng Fei's instructions, they directly chose the area they were best at, felling trees!
Under the fierce attack of their big teeth, the century-old red pine trees fell down with a loud bang like a toy.
Then it was dragged by a bunch of wild boars and thrown outside the firebreak.
The snow leopard couple and the white tiger couple swung their hard and thick tails. The tails brought with them a whistling sound, and wherever they passed, all the bushes were broken.
Animals such as squirrels, foxes and wolves simply grab the grass roots with their mouths and pull them up with force.
For a moment, the scene was bustling with activity and everyone was busy and intense. They cooperated closely with each other and launched a thrilling battle with the fire.
Feeling the advancing heat wave, the death countdown above everyone's heads was getting closer and closer.
Seeing the fire getting closer, no one dared to delay. Everyone worked faster and faster, as if they were working for their lives.
In the reflection of the raging fire, their figures are firm and brave.
Sweat soaked their clothes and furs, and their faces were blackened by smoke, but their eyes were full of perseverance and determination.
They disregard their own safety just to protect the home they depend on for survival.
As everyone's progress continued to accelerate, they were about to successfully open up an isolation zone, but the fire was about to approach everyone, and the closest place was only two or three meters away from them.
"Hurry!! Speed up!! The fire is coming soon!!"
Hearing Meng Fei's words, all the small animals were like chicken blood, and their speed was a little faster than before. For a moment, the soil was flying, and the grass was flying, as if a small storm was sweeping the land.
Finally, when the fire was about to reach them, the firebreak was dug. The firebreak was five meters wide and 200 meters long, completely separating the fire source from the safe area.
The raging fire seemed to have life, rushing towards the isolation zone with its fangs and claws. The flames were dozens of feet high and the heat waves were rolling, making people dare not look directly at it.
But even though the fire was so fierce, without any fuel, it could not spread and could only burn in the same place.
Meng Fei and Erye were so tired that they collapsed on the ground. They were gasping for breath and their bodies were soaked with sweat.
They raised their heads with difficulty and looked at the blazing fire in front of them, with complex emotions surging in their hearts, including joy, fear, and more of a fear.
The condition of the small animals was even more tragic. They were covered in mud, as if they had just struggled out of the mud. The hair of some animals had been burned and was smoking, emitting a burnt smell.
Some animals' claws were injured and bleeding due to excessive force. Blood slowly dripped from the gaps between their claws, casting a scarlet streak on the ground.
The wounds caused them great pain, but they still stood there tenaciously, looking at the fire that was isolated outside with excited eyes.
But as time passed, the fire began to weaken and the temperature around it slowly dropped.
Meng Fei's anxious heart gradually settled down.
"Ahem~~.....Dog, thank goodness for you and other animals, otherwise, it would be impossible for the two of us to dig such a long firebreak even if we died of exhaustion."
"Yeah, it was really close~~~" Meng Fei let out a long sigh, touched his hair that was singed by the flames, and a look of joy began to appear on his face.
"Let's not leave in a hurry. Let's wait until it's all burned out, then we'll go in and check carefully to see if there's any remaining flames. If the fire isn't put out completely, a gust of wind might cause it to start burning again!"
Sudden!
As soon as the Second Master finished speaking, a hurricane blew up in the forest, and the wind direction was exactly towards Meng Fei and the others.
"Oh no, dog! The wind is blowing!!!"
"Everyone, pay attention!!! If there is a fire coming!! Put it out immediately!!"
