Chapter 242 Borrowing the East Wind and the Gentle Breeze
Zhu Chongjiu was dumbfounded after hearing Mu Zu's telepathic message. He muttered to himself with a bitter expression, "This is truly a case of 'treasure' covered by 'yuan' (元) and 'complete' (完)!"
Why should I care about what I did? I didn't burn down my own house.
I was still reluctant to report to them, but now everything's fine.
"It would be easier to just hand over my head to them than to put out this fire in half an hour."
After a moment of self-deprecation, Zhu Chongjiu sighed and continued, "You blockhead, hurry up and think of a solution!"
Otherwise, I'd really be finished!
After saying that, Zhu Chongjiu scratched his head and paced around, trying to think of a solution.
At the same time, he also released the few small creatures from his storage ring to discuss the matter together.
As the saying goes, three cobblers with their wits combined are still better than one Zhuge Liang.
After the children came out, they listened to Zhu Chongjiu quickly explain the situation to everyone.
Xiao Jin raised his hand and touched his chin, which was completely beardless, and said, "There's no way we can accomplish this with just the few of us."
Even if all the immortal armies withdrew now, the fire set by nearly a hundred immortal lords and several thousand immortal kings is something we can't put out in a short time, let alone with the large army guarding it.
As everyone pondered anxiously, half the time had already passed.
Zhu Chongjiu used his authority to see that the fire had already spread over a thousand miles away.
Moreover, the army of cultivators of wind-elemental laws continued to pour gales into the raging fire.
This situation allowed the fire to spread rapidly into the depths of the dense forest.
At this moment, before the army, Zhu Rong Tian Guang and a group of immortal lords grinned maliciously at the flames before them and said, "The army will advance closely following the fire. I want to see how long you can hold out."
However, the immortal lords who had initially disagreed with setting fire to the forest now spoke nervously, echoing Zhu Rong Tian Guang's words: "Fellow Immortal Zhu Rong, are we just going to keep burning the human race until they are completely burned out?"
After hearing what these immortal lords said, Zhu Rong Tian Guang also knew that this method was not a long-term solution.
He dared not burn down the entire Divine Tree Immortal Palace, which had stood within the primordial universe for countless years.
But what can we do now?
If the fire doesn't force out those human ants, it's good that it forces out the mastermind behind this world.
He couldn't believe that the mastermind behind this world would turn against him and the immortal army because of a mere human.
At that time, after negotiations, it would be an excellent plan to get them to hand over the person hiding in this world.
Thinking of this, Zhurong Tianguang turned to the immortal lords and replied, "Don't worry, I have my own plan."
Seeing that Zhu Rong Tian Guang had made up his mind, the immortal lords shook their heads and returned to their original positions, remaining silent.
Zhu Chongjiu had already thought of countless methods, including recalling the information about wildfire relief on television when he was back in his hometown.
The most effective method is to cut down trees and create artificial firebreaks.
But in this situation, with people closely following behind and setting fires, what's the point of cutting off firebreaks?
The moment it showed its face, it would be instantly killed by millions of immortal soldiers.
At this moment, Xiao Tu anxiously asked Zhu Chongjiu, "Brother Jiu, you mentioned before that there was a man named Zhuge Liang in your hometown."
He has so many schemes and plans.
Does he have a plan to deal with this situation?
No sooner had Xiao Tu finished speaking than the first phrase that came to Zhu Chongjiu's mind regarding Zhuge Liang was "borrowing the east wind".
Borrowing the east wind, borrowing the east wind?
"Aha! I've got it!"
After laughing loudly, Zhu Chongjiu casually hugged Xiao Hei and kissed his forehead before saying, "So you guys only know how to use wind?"
"Let me borrow a breeze for you now!"
After saying that, Zhu Chongjiu grinned viciously.
While the little creatures were all stunned by Zhu Chongjiu's reaction, Zhu Chongjiu released the Wind Element Law Spirit that he had obtained in the Qingfeng World from his storage ring.
The wind element spirit captured by Zhu Chongjiu, after decades of living with the little creatures and being brainwashed by the rat guards for decades, as well as Zhu Chongjiu's occasional intimidation, was named Xiao Feng. Upon seeing Zhu Chongjiu for the first time, he raised his hand in salute and said, "Your subordinate Xiao Feng greets the commander."
"Thank you for your hard work, sir!"
Seeing this, Zhu Chongjiu nodded in satisfaction, thinking to himself, "It seems that all these years of hard work have not been in vain."
After speaking to himself, he said to Xiao Feng with a serious expression, "Now there is a very serious task waiting for you. Can you complete it successfully?"
Upon hearing Zhu Chongjiu's words, Xiao Feng, who had just taken shape and whose body was only the size of a two- or three-year-old child, straightened his posture again, tightened his little salute slightly, and replied to Zhu Chongjiu in a childish voice, "I guarantee to complete the mission!"
Upon seeing this, Zhu Chongjiu said "Oh" and then asked, "I haven't even said what the mission is, how do you know if you can complete it?"
"Xiao Feng's duty is to obey orders, and the order given by the commander is a very serious task."
As for what kind of task it is, that can only be considered part of the task.
It is not related to obeying orders.
Hearing Xiao Feng's words, Zhu Chongjiu was completely dumbfounded.
That's such a weird thought process!
Fine, anyway, there aren't many normal people in my team.
No, it's wrong. There's no one else besides yourself.
With time running out, Zhu Chongjiu didn't delve deeper into Xiaofeng's psychological state. Instead, he directly began to convey his plan to Xiaofeng.
Twenty minutes were about to pass, and with only ten minutes left before the time given by Mu Zu, Xiao Feng, after receiving Zhu Chong Jiu's orders, vanished from the spot in a flash.
After Xiao Feng disappeared, Zhu Chongjiu waved his hand, putting all the little ones back into his storage ring. His body then turned into specks of green light and disappeared from the spot.
By this time, the fire had already spread for nearly 10,000 miles to the main army.
The celestial soldiers and generals walked through the dense forest that had not yet been completely burned, advancing closely behind the raging fire.
Zhu Rong Tian Guang would occasionally instruct those who were unleashing the raging winds: "Have them keep an eye on the fire, and make sure the fire is kept under the control of the army."
At the same time, they were asked to release their immortal techniques in turn, so that the people releasing the immortal techniques would not run out of spiritual energy and experience a break in the chain.
But as Zhu Rong Tian Guang was directing his army to advance steadily and vigorously, he noticed that the hair on his face suddenly began to flutter.
"Um?
Why is the wind blowing on my face?
When Zhu Rong Tian Guang saw this scene, he was wondering to himself when a report came from the front: "Countless giant trees, each tens of thousands of meters tall, have appeared in the direction the fire is moving."
Moreover, the moment these giant trees appeared, they began to sway violently.
Upon hearing the reports from the front lines, Zhu Rong Tian Guang said, somewhat puzzled, "Could it be?"
Before he could finish speaking, he felt the wind blowing in his face pick up even stronger.
At this moment, Zhurong Tianguang suddenly shouted, "Not good!"
