Chapter 469 Burning Centipede Ridge

He was hiding in the crevice of the stone, holding the ancient bronze sword tightly with both hands. When the centipede fell, the ancient sword happened to penetrate his body.

The centipede suffered from pain, struggled to swim away, and the momentum brought by it caused Gu Jian to plow its body in half from it!
Seeing this, Li Canghai knew that his chance to escape had come, so he immediately got up from the crevice of the stone, rolled on the spot and picked up the torch.

The big centipede was in pain, and kept writhing on the rubble pile, which aroused its ruthlessness. When it saw Li Canghai, it immediately flew over from the rubble pile.

When Li Canghai saw this, he was startled, and almost subconsciously, he threw the torch that hadn't been extinguished.

The big centipede was in the air, opened its bloody mouth, and suddenly swallowed the torch.

However, with a bang, the big centipede fell to the ground fiercely and struggled desperately.

Li Canghai blinked, seeing the big centipede constantly struggling on the ground, feeling strange in his heart.

He was just about to go over to check, when the big centipede suddenly turned red and started to smoke.

At this moment, a flame shot out from the big centipede's body and burned instantly. The big centipede struggled continuously, like a fire dragon, twisting its body desperately, throwing the flame out in all directions.

Those flames falling around, not only did not go out, but burned more vigorously.

It was only then that Li Canghai discovered that the places where the fire was on were all the places where the venom was sprayed from the giant centipede's body.

The flames burned all over the rubble pile in an instant, and countless centipedes were burned one after another, making the flames more vigorous.

Li Canghai suddenly understood that the venom in this flying centipede turned out to be extremely flammable fuel!
The whole body of the big centipede was on fire, and it suddenly went crazy, and suddenly a dragon swung its tail and slapped Li Canghai's legs directly.

Li Canghai was immediately shot up and fell to the ground hard.Li Canghai vomited a few mouthfuls of blood, ignoring the pain in his leg, and immediately fled frantically towards the outside.

Almost at the same time as he fled, a raging fire suddenly ignited around the mushroom cloud.

The area was full of centipedes, dead grass, and rotten wood, and the fire spread instantly.

Li Canghai fled with his life, and soon arrived at the place where Di Qing and others were.

Di Qing saw a big fire ignited in the distance, and even the mushroom cloud was also ablaze. She rushed to meet Li Canghai and asked, "Canghai, what happened? Why is there a fire there?"

Li Canghai didn't have time to explain to her, so he shouted eagerly: "Get out of here quickly! Quick!"

Several Jianning iron guards had regained their strength at this time, but their movements were slightly inconvenient.

They looked at the fire spreading in the distance, and said: "My lord, we are already dying, so let us stay! Take us, no one can escape."

"Fart! I brought you here, so I will take you away! Stop talking nonsense!" Li Canghai shouted angrily, and he immediately carried one of them to you, shouting: "Go!"

Without hesitation, Di Qing helped a Jianning iron guard up.

The remaining two iron guards were supported by the only uninjured iron guard.

Several people supported each other and rushed out towards the periphery surrounded by man-eating plants.

The fire quickly burned from the inner circle to the outer circle. Those man-eating plants seemed to be extremely afraid of the flames, and they drooped up one after another when the heat wave hit.

This actually created conditions for several people. They walked with difficulty, but they still rushed outside desperately.

After finally rushing out of the perimeter, everyone was exhausted, but the sea of ​​flames was still engulfing behind them.

"My lord... This life is enough for my brothers to know you! My lord, princess, leave us alone, let's go!" said the iron guard on Li Canghai's back with tears in his eyes.

"My lord...we can't implicate you, you go!" Several other people said one after another.

Their faces were dignified, but they looked extremely calm, without the slightest fear.

The remaining Tiewei who was not poisoned, looked at the poisoned people, and said to Li Canghai: "Master Li, princess, you go quickly! I will stay and take care of them. After joining the Jianning Tiewei At that time, we made an oath that we will live and die together, and will never leave. My lord, the situation is critical now, please leave quickly."

Several Jianning iron guards looked at each other and smiled, as if they were already ready to die.

Di Qing's eyes were moist. She looked at the people and didn't know what to say for a moment. She pulled the corner of Li Canghai's clothes and sobbed, "Canghai, what should I do?"

Di Qing is originally a child of the world, and she has always respected these people who value love and righteousness. If she is asked to give up on them, she will never be able to do so.

Li Canghai frowned slightly, and said, "I will not give up on anyone."

He looked around, and there was dead grass everywhere on Yatsushirohara, and so was the area where they were.

The raging flames were spreading, Li Canghai made a decision immediately, he found a place with a lot of dead grass, and set the dead grass on fire.

After a while, an area several feet in size was burned out in that place.

Li Canghai looked back at the raging fire, pointed at the burnt area, and said loudly, "Get in!"

Several iron guards looked at each other in blank dismay, and immediately walked inside.

"Canghai, will we die here?" Di Qing asked in a low voice, holding Li Canghai's hand tightly.

Li Canghai frowned. He saw that the fire he had ignited was spreading, and the burned area was getting bigger and bigger. He let out a breath and comforted him, "Don't worry, we'll be fine. The dead grass here has been burned up. Without a fire source, the fire will not burn."

Having said that, Li Canghai was very nervous in his heart.

Although there was no fire source here, the fire was raging, and he was not sure whether they could survive.

The blazing flames came from a distance, and the entire Yatsushirohara was quickly plunged into a sea of ​​flames.

Although there was no fire in the area where the few people were, the heat wave from the surrounding sea of ​​fire made them a little unbearable.

Li Canghai poured some water from the water bag, asked everyone to cover their mouths and noses, and then gathered together.

"Lord Li, princess... I will die if I wait for my subordinates to die, but they will implicate you. I am ashamed of the prince, my lord and the princess, please accept my worship!" One of them had wet eyes, tears in his eyes, Said bitterly.

Li Canghai shook his head at him, and said: "You are all loyal people, don't feel guilty, don't talk too much, save your energy, the weather is gloomy, it should be raining soon, as long as we last until it rains, we will Can live."

When everyone heard the words, they all looked up at the sky.

There were dark clouds floating in the sky, but there was no sign of rain at all.

"Canghai, since we came out in the morning, it has been cloudy. What should we do if the sky has been cloudy but it hasn't rained?" Di Qing said worriedly, wiping the sweat off her cheeks.
