When the fireball burned out, a huge black pit formed on the spot.
"Great! They are afraid of fire!" Gu Wenyu cheered happily.
"Now we can finally go out!" Xiaotian also became happy.
"As long as you, Uncle Fox, are here, I will definitely take you away safely." Honghong began to feel proud again.
However, just as a few people were immersed in the joy of victory, the thorns that had been hiding far away quickly gathered together. Their roots seemed to be moving, and soon they filled the small piece of charred land.
, just like there has never been such a gap in the thorn forest.
Everyone was stunned. Is this plant crazy? Does it leave any way for people to survive?
"How long did the big pit we just burned last?" Gu Wenyu asked in a low voice.
"It only takes three breaths..." Honghong replied.
"How long did it take us to burn out that big hole?" Gu Wenyu asked again.
"Absolutely..." Honghong said uncertainly.
"One breath." Tang Zixuan on the side added with certainty.
When Honghong heard this, she felt something interesting, "Then we will burn all the way through. As long as we cooperate well, the thorns will not be able to catch up with us."
Gu Wenyu also nodded and added: "Theoretically it is feasible. As long as the speed is fast enough, we can step on the previous pit every time and then clear the next thorn."
"Then let's go quickly." Xiaotian urged excitedly after hearing this.
Gu Wenyu smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said, "But there is still a problem."
"What's the problem?" Xiaotian asked hurriedly.
"We don't know how big this thorn forest is. If we run out of soul power halfway through, we will be completely surrounded by thorns and it will be impossible to escape." Gu Wenyu said what Tang Zixuan and Honghong were worried about.
"What should we do?" Xiaotian asked subconsciously, but after asking, he realized what Gu Wenyu could do.
Tang Zixuan looked at Gu Wenyu and Honghong and asked, "How much soul power did you just consume?"
Honghong didn't think twice and replied directly: "Seven or eight o'clock."
Gu Wenyu thought for a while and replied: "I used three points of soul power. In total, with the attack just like that, I can only strengthen Honghong seven times at most. Even if a fireball can burn a safe distance of 5 meters, seven times
A fireball only has a safe distance of 35 meters. With my naked eyes, this thorn forest is more than 35 meters away."
"What are you talking about? What kind of rice?" Tang Zixuan said he didn't understand.
Gu Wenyu then remembered that their measurement unit should not be meters, so he explained: "In other words, seven fireballs can give us a safe distance of about ten feet."
Tang Zixuan nodded in agreement, but Xiaotian looked at Gu Wenyu like a monster, and asked doubtfully: "Xiaohua, when did you know so much?"
"Uh... I eavesdropped while passing by the private school." Gu Wenyu made up a random reason.
"Yeah..." Xiaotian was hesitant. He once again felt that the little flower in front of him was a little strange.
Fortunately, Honghong didn't give him too much time to think, and directly spit out a fireball at the thorn forest. This time without Gu Wenyu's reinforcement, the fireball was half smaller, and the burning speed of the thorns was also much slower.
Everyone's eyes were attracted by the fireball, and no one said anything for a while.
About fifteen seconds later, a charred open space appeared in front of everyone again. However, this open space was only more than two meters wide at most.
Gu Wenyu silently calculated the burning speed of the fireball in his mind. It would take about 18 to 20 seconds for the thorns to re-cover, and the burning speed only took 15 seconds. In other words, even if Gu Wenyu did not strengthen the fireball, everyone would still have 3 to 5 seconds.
Run to the next safe area in seconds.
If Gu Wenyu strengthens the fireball, the burning speed only takes about 7 seconds. If the red soul power is enough, Gu Wenyu only needs to strengthen it once when there is no time. There is still hope for everyone to leave this thorn forest.
However, the burning diameter of the red fireball is only more than two meters. How many fireballs can he spit out? How far can he drive safely?
"Honghong, how many fireballs like this can you spit out in a short time?" Gu Wenyu directly asked the question in his heart.
Honghong made some calculations and replied: "About forty..."
Gu Wenyu's face was not very good-looking. Calculated this way, forty fireballs, even with Gu Wenyu's enhancement, could only go a distance of 118 meters at most. This amount of energy was simply not enough to support everyone out of the thorn forest.
Tang Zixuan, who Gu Wenyu was thinking of, naturally also thought of it. Only Honghong and Xiaotian, the two bad mathematicians, still looked confused.
"What's wrong?" Xiaotian asked tentatively when he saw that Gu Wenyu and Tang Zixuan both had sad faces.
Gu Wenyu replied truthfully: "It's still not enough."
"What's not enough?" Xiaotian didn't quite understand.
"The distance is not enough, so it is still unsafe." Tang Zixuan explained.
"Can't even forty fireballs like that work?" Xiaotian had no idea about this distance, but simply thought that the red fireballs were very powerful.
Honghong also looked at Tang Zixuan with a puzzled face. Although he had lived for hundreds of years, he also knew nothing about arithmetic.
"No." Tang Zixuan replied firmly.
Xiaotian and Honghong were discouraged at the same time. Although they didn't understand why it couldn't work, they started to frown because they believed that Tang Zixuan was right.
Gu Wenyu suddenly remembered something, and she said to Tang Zixuan: "Can't you control the earth element? Try controlling the soil under the thorn forest?"
"I've tried it." Tang Zixuan had already tried controlling the earth element to separate the thorn forest before using the sword, but each thorn was deeply rooted and had something of the Taoist nature. In such a dense situation, he could hardly
Hard to shake.
"Then didn't I strengthen it for you? You try again." Gu Wenyu encouraged.
Tang Zixuan did as he was told, and Gu Wenyu gave him a boost.
Under Gu Wenyu's strengthening blessing, the land in front of Tang Zixuan began to shift, and thorns were uprooted, as if they were squeezed out of the ground.
A passage more than three meters long appeared in front of Tang Zixuan, but soon, the thorns nearby surrounded it again and digested the dead thorns as nutrients.
"It's so, so scary. They eat all the same kind." Xiaotian couldn't help but swallowed his saliva when he saw it.
Honghong jumped up, slapped Xiaotian hard on the back of the head, and said: "Idiot, they have no brains at all, of course they will eat everything!"
Xiaotian covered his head, looked at Honghong who was less than his waist, and yelled dissatisfied: "Why did you hit me!"
"I am your master!" Hong Hong said confidently, with a bulging face and an angry look.
