Small Fire

Small fire: can greatly increase the temperature of the area in a ten-meter radius, and has the function of deterring and killing primary creepy monsters, but at the same time, it also has a strong attraction to cold beasts

Average daily consumption: wood 2 (complimentary initial lighting, no consumption for ten minutes)

Xia Hong didn't even have time to scrutinize the so-called camp system, only focusing on quickly searching for what he wanted amongst the long list of information.

There was a shock kill function for primary creepy monsters!

This is what he wanted.

Xia Hong looked sideways at Xia Chuan over there who was already on the verge of death, braced himself and stood up, his eyes staring at that fake Xia Ding.

A little spark suddenly surfaced in front of Xia Chuan's body.

Impostor Xia Ding looked down at the fire in front of him, his brows furrowed, and his heart vaguely sensed that something was not right.

But that spark was weak, looking not threatening.

However, in the next second, the spark exploded, and a three-meter-high red-colored flame rose violently.

That flame was like a prairie fire, the burning range rapidly expanded, not only the impostor Xia Ding who was choking Xia Chuan, but even the remaining impostor logging team members who were not far away from him, there were two of them who were directly engulfed by the flames.

"Ah ... what is it, what kind of fire is this, ah ..."

However, in an instant, the impostor Xia Ding who was engulfed by the flames let out a hiss of fear and misery.

The other two impostor logging team members, without even having time to make a sound, were directly burned into two clouds of black smoke.

The impostor Xia Ding's body, constantly twisted and shifted amidst the flames, obviously trying to escape, but the flames followed him like a hock.

The original intact body was burned into a ruddy skeleton in a matter of moments, and then even the bones were burned to the ground, turning into a cloud of black smoke just like the two impostor lumberjack team members, completely dissipating.

On this side, Xia Hong had already picked up Xia Chuan and turned his head to look at the fire still burning in place, his face suddenly filled with hope.

"Big brother, this fire, what is it?"

"I don't know, but we are saved."

The impostor, Xia Ding, didn't even die when his head was split open.

But when they touched this small pile of fire, they were turned into flying ashes in an instant.

"Everyone, stop fighting and come over to this side of the fire!"

Xia Hong turned his head and shouted at the crowd inside the cave who were still fighting to the death.

The scene of the impostor Xia Ding being burned to death just now had already been noticed, and with this shout, the remaining people who were still alive all gathered towards him at once.

Soon, the hundred or so people remaining in the camp all broke away from the battle and gathered behind Xia Hong.

This side of the camp had suffered heavy deaths and injuries, while on the side of the Creepy Things, except for the three who were mistakenly burned to death by the small fire, the remaining twenty-three were all unharmed.

The other Xia Ding, with the remaining twenty-two members of the impostor logging team, walked towards the fire.

However, when he was still more than ten meters away from the fire, he stopped.

Looking at the fire, the impostor Xia Ding's eyes were filled with scorn.

However, it seemed that he was unwilling to let go of Xia Hong's gang, and after a moment, he laughed coldly and opened his mouth:

"Little thing, this fire of yours, how long can it burn?"

"A long, long time!"

Xia Hong also laughed coldly and turned back to Xia Chuan and the crowd and opened his mouth, "Move all the wood in the back and expand the fire."

The timber from the campground just happened to be placed on this side against the wall.

When the crowd heard this, they hurriedly all moved the wood on that side of the wall.

As the wood continued to be put in, the fire of that small fire was expanding.

Moreover, Xia Hong and the others intentionally led the wood toward the group of impostors Xia Ding.

Soon, the firelight illuminated the entire cave.

As for Impostor Xia Ding's group of people, as the fire spread, the scorn in their eyes became more and more intense, while their bodies kept retreating.

The impostor, Xia Ding, stalemated with the crowd for more than an hour.

Until the fire was forced to the mouth of the cave, looking at the crowd still moving a steady stream of wood, his face finally revealed the color of hatred, gazed deeply at Xia Hong, with those impostor logging team members, turned to leave.

At this time it was already dawn, Xia Hong and others did not dare to leave the vicinity of the fire, and could only look out from afar at the departing party.

Only when they were finally out of sight and confirmed that the other party had gone far away, did Xia Hong finally let out a sigh of relief, and a strong sense of emptiness immediately surged into his heart.

"Brother, this bonfire, seems to have a problem."

"I know, only a ten-meter range is useful, the rest of the fire, with the fire we lit before, there is no difference."

Xia Hong's back had long been drenched in cold sweat.

Just now when the fire exceeded the ten-meter range, he had already realized it.

The fire within the cave was burned by them to fifty or sixty meters, however after leaving the ten-meter range of the first small fire, the temperature of the rest of the place increased, no different from the fire they had lit before.

Pi remembered the system description of the small fire pile, which Xia Hong roughly understood.

The small fire pile only worked on a ten-meter radius.

Even if other means were used to expand the fire, it would not work.

Similarly, the only thing that had a deterrent effect on the creepy creatures was the small fire, and the rest of the fires that they lit up were simply useless.

What he did behind him was all just a bluff to scare the gang of creepy creatures.

Good thing, the other party fell for it.

In the aftermath of the disaster, there wasn't a single bit of joyful atmosphere in the cave.

This was because disasters were often accompanied by endless pain.

At this moment, many, many people realized that really Xia Ding's gang had all been killed.

Those twelve members of the logging team were twelve families.

Adding to that, a massacre inside the cave had just taken away at least seventy lives.

Throughout the cave, there was an outpouring of wails and cries of pain.

"Chief, is he dead?"

"My leader is also dead?"

"My son killed ......"

"Mother, mother wake up!"

.........

Xia Hong in addition to the sadness surged to the heart, more strongly, is a sense of suffocation.

From beginning to end, he knew nothing about the Redwood Ridge trick.

Even what the other party's true appearance looked like, was not clear.

At first, after the two impostors Xia Ding were recognized, it was the one that was sneak attacked by Xia Chuan that was leading the way, and the other one whose head was split open by himself was just a muddled outburst that didn't seem to have a spirit.

After the first one was burned to death by the small fire, that muddled one came out to take the lead and talk.

This was enough to prove that the two impostors Xia Ding, neither of them was the real body.

In other words, that trick of Redwood Ridge, which had never even shown its face, had dealt such a major blow to them.

There were also the two Xia Ding, the twenty-four impostor logging team members, and the way the other party had gotten them out and controlled them.

He knew nothing about all of them.

The other party lightly struck out, and you died and were heavily injured.

The key is that after sacrificing so many people, you haven't gotten even a tiny bit of useful information from the other side.

This kind of powerlessness caused Xia Hong's heart to incomparably suffocate.

Of course, more than that, it was still fear.

Looking back around the cave, seeing that most of the people were still immersed in grief, Xia Hong took a deep breath and walked alone to the cave entrance, picking up the rocks and trees next to it, and started sealing the cave entrance.

After such a mess, the sky has already dawned, and the temperature is decreasing faster and faster, if you don't hurry to seal the hole, it will freeze to death.

Even if they are not careful to attract cold beasts, it will add to the misery.

Xia Hong's action also reminded the crowd.

Xia Chuan was the first to step forward to help, then there was a second and a third.

In the end, men, women, and even children came to help.

Xia Hong looked back at the camp crowd, and despite the freezing weather, a slight warmth rose in his heart.
