Chapter 2239 Holy Fire Pearl

Yulin Valley should be a lively place.

However, when the team arrived on skunk, they saw only ruins.

The heat from the city was more than twice as high as other places, the hot smoke permeated the sky, the coke and unextinguished sparks could be seen everywhere, all silently accusing a fire of unknown origin.

"How could this happen?" Lu Liang couldn't believe it when he saw this scene, and the faintly charred corpse he saw made him feel sick and want to vomit.

A grown man is like this, not to mention Song Yi and Jiang Hui. They have long been hiding behind the skunk, not daring to look at this horrific scene, and vomited everything they had eaten throughout the day.

Jia Zhengjin was also a little surprised. The fire seemed to happen suddenly and coincidentally.

Of course, he was used to this kind of scene, so he said: "It seems that we can't go into the city to resupply, there is nothing here! We need to find a suitable place to stay nearby before night comes, and then look for food and water." At least the food on the road should be ready tomorrow."

"Let's go forward!" Lu Liang said, "There are forests and rivers over there, and we will definitely be able to get food. We need to get out of this scorched land and camp in a more comfortable environment!"

So the team set off again, crossing the Yulin Valley and moving forward along the road.

When they arrived five or six miles away from the Yulin Valley, they stopped in a forest near the river.

There are many giant beasts in the woods. After using the stinky farts of skunks to drive them away, they find a suitable place to camp by the river.

Lu Liang started digging the basement with shovels and pickaxes, while Song Yi and Jiang Hui looked for wild fruits in the forest near the skunk and collected firewood.

Jia Zhengjin is responsible for fishing at the river and collecting drinking water.

"What's going on in Yulin Valley?" Fishing is very simple for Jia Zhengjin, especially since Lu Liang made him an iron spear, which is a handy weapon. While fishing, he asked Aprastisa in a low voice, "It happened that when we came here, it was burned to rubble. You came here to look for the Holy Fire Pearl. Could it be related to it?"

"Impossible!" Aprestisa shook his head, sitting on his shoulders and shaking his legs. "Only I can sense the five pearls, and only I can find them. Moreover, the Holy Fire Pearl only means that it contains The power of fire will not leak out and cause fire. You must know that it has been sleeping here for thousands of years!"

"What's the situation in Yulin Valley?"

"It should be just an accident, right?" Aprestisa said with a shrug.

"If it was an accident, it would be such a coincidence! But we came here to look for the Holy Fire Pearl. Before we arrived, the entire city was burned to scorched earth, and no one alive could be found." Jia Zhengjin pondered for a moment, "After thinking about it, it may be man-made. Caused and deliberately targeted us!”

"Who dares to target us?" Aprestisa stretched out his hand and patted his mouth. "I have seen many things like this. Basically, about 80% of them are accidents."

"Whether it was an accident or someone deliberately targeted it, we will find out later in the evening when we go to look for the Holy Fire Pearl!" Jia Zheng's golden iron spear was here, and a big fish was lifted out of the water by him.

After gathering, Lu Liang, Song Yi, and Jiang Hui were all surprised.

Lu Liang successfully dug the basement. Song Yi and Jiang Hui found a small amount of wild fruits and a lot of dry firewood.

Jia Zhengjin's results are a super-large fish about the same size as an adult, a dozen large fish half a meter long, and two giant green shrimps as long as arms.

There was enough food for the four of them for many days, so they didn’t have to worry about food on the road.

At the same time all the containers that could hold water were full.

"Jia Chong, are you too awesome?" Lu Liang couldn't close his mouth. "You caught all this by yourself? How do you catch such a big fish?"

Song Yi and Liang Hui nodded repeatedly, thinking the same thing as Lu Liang.

"Don't talk nonsense, let's deal with it together!" Jia Zhengjin said, "Take out our portion for today's dinner and smoke the rest for storage."

"Yes, yes! It's getting dark soon, let's hurry up." Lu Liang agreed with him, "Get ready early, and you'll be at ease tomorrow!"

So several people started working together,

Take out the portions for dinner, cut up all the remaining fish and smoke them next to the campfire.

Late at night, people who had eaten and drank enough fell asleep again.

Jia Zhengjin and Aprestisa teleported through Nuwa, came out of the basement room, and instantly arrived at Yulin Valley.

Even after so long, sparks can still be seen everywhere in the scorched earth, even more obvious than during the day, and there is a red light everywhere you look.

Walking among the ruins, Jia Zhengjin only focused on where the Holy Fire Pearl was.

Aprestisa looked for the light he could see in the firelight, guiding him step by step towards the center of the ruined city.

"Is this the phosphorus powder secreted by fire ants?" During the process, Aprestisa found strange powder on the ground. He flew over and took a closer look and suddenly realized, "So, the culprits that caused the Yulin Valley to become a scorched earth are fire ants!"

"Fire ants?"

"Look, the huge pothole over there should be the footprints left by fire ants." Aprestisa pointed to the other side, "It should be that a certain fire ant happened to pass by Yulin Valley, causing panic among the people in the city. It is probably Someone launched an attack in a panic, causing the fire ants to become furious and spray out phosphorus powder, which caused the entire city to be burned down! This is the result of ignorance. When encountering fire ants, which contain phosphorus powder in their bodies, you should not take the initiative to provoke them. It’s the right choice.”

Jia Zhengjin has also heard of fire ants, but the fire ants on earth are obviously different from the fire ants in this world.

At least he hadn't heard that fire ants on Earth would spray phosphorus powder to cause fires.

"Here!" During the conversation, Aperlastissa suddenly flew to the side excitedly and landed on a scorched earth ruin.

As his voice fell, light appeared in the scorched earth, and then a strange red pearl broke out of the ground and flew directly into his hand.

"I got the Holy Fire Pearl!" Aperlastissa was very excited and took it back to Jia Zhengjin's shoulder.

"Is this the Holy Fire Pearl?"

"That's right!" Aperlastissa said, "Now there is only one holy gold pearl left. After absorbing the power of all the pearls, I can restore my divine power! Just wait until we get to the wasteland mine cave, and the goal will be achieved!"

"Not challenging!" Jia Zhengjin yawned boredly. He thought the journey to find five pearls would be particularly difficult. Who would have thought that it would be so easy to get four of them?

"I was the one who scattered the pearls, how difficult is it to get them back?" Aperastissa said with a smile, "Besides, if I recover my power sooner, you can get rid of the trouble sooner, right? Well, let's go back quickly! I want to absorb the energy of the Holy Fire Pearl, and then go to the wilderness mine together to find the last Holy Gold Pearl!"
