Chapter 10 Fire Rescue
"Damn it, don't stand there, put out the fire!" The old man was the first to react and rushed forward while shouting. But to be honest, it is actually not very meaningful to save or not under the current conditions.
As we all know, most Japanese buildings are made of wooden structures and rarely have brick and stone materials. The whole structure of houses is like a pile of huge firewood. It is good to say that when there is no fire, it is almost impossible to extinguish it. Of course, it does not mean that there is no way to extinguish the fire. However, the only fire-fighting tool in this village is a bucket, and the nearest water source is a stream more than 300 meters away from the village. Relying on manpower to lift water back and forth, it is difficult to extinguish even if the cement building catches fire, let alone the entire wooden hamlet catches fire.
In fact, the old man and the people in the team were blocked by the heat waves before they rushed to the edge of the village. Anyone who had really come into contact with the larger flames knew that the temperature of the fire was completely different from the gas flames at home. Take the bonfire used in the bonfire party for example, just simply pile up some wood and ignite it. When the flames are in the most vigorous state, people can no longer stand within 1.5 meters, and rolling heat waves can be felt two meters away. For example, in the case where the entire village is on fire, within 100 meters around the fire scene can basically cause direct burns to the human body within 100 meters.
Obviously, it is impossible for normal people to use buckets to pour river water into a place a hundred meters away to put out the fire, so the old man and the servants could only run back and forth outside the city by the high temperature and heat waves at a loss. Some people covered their heads and faces with their clothes and tried to rush forward, but they started running back within twenty meters. When they came out, many people even had burns to varying degrees of their skin.
At first, many people couldn't react for a while and were trying to get close to the city repeatedly, but soon those people realized that all their actions were futile, so many people began to kneel on the ground and cry bitterly, while some people sat there, staring blankly at the fire.
I can understand the situation of these people, but I can't help them. After all, the flame burns too much. If I were in full body, I could take action to destroy the flame. Unfortunately, I am now affected by the buff task, and my strength is only less than a fraction of the state in the whole province. In this case, all I can do is to ensure that I will not be burned to death. It is obviously not enough to put out the fire.
I originally thought these people would sit here and wait until the fire went out. But what I didn't expect was that a young man jumped up in the crowd over there, and rushed to me at a very exaggerated speed for him and threw himself to the ground and hugged my legs and cried and begged: "Sir, please, sir. I know you are very powerful and must not be afraid of this flame. Please enter the city and help me find my sister! I beg you, sir!" After that guy finished speaking, he didn't care whether I agreed or not. He knelt up and started kowtowing desperately. It meant that he was like saying, "If you don't enter, I'll kill you here."
Looking at this guy's behavior, I was really hesitant. It's not that I don't want to help, but that I really need to pay a lot of things. We are not fully physical now. Our own magic resistance can naturally not resist such high temperatures. If you want to enter, you have to use fire-resistant magic to enter. However, after we arrived at this task, our magic power recovery speed also dropped significantly, and the magic consumption of the skill did not drop to the same level as our attributes. As a result, everyone's magic grooves became extremely nervous. If you can use magic, try not to use it, otherwise, when you really need large skills, you will be magic.
What should I do if it is not enough? Don’t forget that medicines in the buff task are ineffective. The medicines found in the task must be effective. But we have not even found a pill in this task, which shows that this medicine is definitely a very rare thing. So, we don’t dare to use magic at all now. However, these NPCs actually ask us to save people, and once they enter the fire, they must use magic. It’s okay to save people, but what if they can’t be saved? How can we do things that are high in investment, unstable in return, and even no rewards?
Although this kind of thing is not necessary from the perspective of interests, from the perspective of emotions, it is necessary to save people. It is one thing to fight against each other when encountering enemies, and it is another thing to not save such unrelated people when encountering dangerous things. Besides, we are not powerless, but have this ability. In this case, if we don’t save them, it is a matter of character.
Someone took the lead, and everyone else reacted. The only one who asked for it was his wife, the other one wanted to save his mother, and the other one wanted to save his children, and of course they wanted to save their whole family. The people in the bride-sending team were basically people from this village, and this village was said to be a village, but it was actually a small county town, with a large population. There were basically several families in the crowd present, so when they saw the fire in the city, they rushed in and wanted to save people at the beginning.
Looking at the large group of people kneeling on the ground in front of me, I could only turn my head helplessly and look at Zhenhong. I felt a little sad in my heart without showing any hand, so I could only look at the opinions of others.
The gold coins shook their heads slightly, while Zhenhong nodded, and Christina nodded. It was obvious that two-on-one, and I was abstaining from the votes. The final result was naturally to go and help according to the opinions of Christina and Zhenhong.
"Everyone get up. How can we save people if you block us like this?"
Suddenly when I heard my words, those who were busy kowtowing suddenly stood there, and then they looked at me with shocked expressions on my face. Although they were trying their best to beg us, they actually knew that we were unlikely to help, so they suddenly heard such an answer and were stunned.
"What are you stupid? If you don't let go, the people inside will be completely ruined!"
This sentence is still intimidating, and the people in front of me suddenly gave way to both sides. I didn't talk nonsense, and just walked towards the sea of fire over there.
Although the buff task limits my attributes, the Dragon Soul Set is still a magical suit and a growth equipment. Even if it is weakened so much, it is still worthy of being a top-level suit. I walked directly to more than five meters away from the outer wall of the city without any preparation, and then I began to feel a clear burning sensation. At this time, the flames on the outer wall can actually almost lick my face. Judging from this temperature, even if I walk in without any preparation, I will probably only slowly lose blood and will not be burned to death soon. This is the situation after the attributes of the Dragon Soul Set are weakened. If it is a Dragon Soul Set in a complete state, this temperature will not react at all.
Compared to my relaxed freehand painting, Zhenhong and the others are not much worse. Zhenhong’s own Zhenwu suit itself is also a type of super high defense. Although it is not the special element resistance equipment, the basic data is too high after all, so it is similar to me, and it can almost ignore the temperature of this fire field. However, in order to avoid blood loss, Zhenhong still uses some small skills to assist.
Although Jin Coin and Christina are both magical systems, in the face of this kind of fire, they both have a higher advantage than Zhenhong and I, who are very powerful in the magic resistance.
Christina at least added an element transformation to herself, and the gold coins simply walked into the fire without any need. What's more amazing is that all the flames seemed to be afraid of her after the gold coins approached, and all the flames were tilted in a direction away from her. As a result, looking from the side, it seemed that wherever the gold coins went, the flames would automatically separate the way. In contrast, Christina's element transformation was a little lower.
In fact, elemental transformation is not an active magic, but a passive state magic. It does not need to be maintained after use. As long as it is not dispelled, it will not disappear automatically. The characteristic of this spell is that it does not consume any of its own magic power. After activation, it can be used as energy according to the settings before activation, and at the same time, an elemental balance zone is generated around the body. Of course, based on the basic world theorem, this spell can only be cast when a certain element is too dense, otherwise the elemental pressure cannot be sufficient to maintain its continuous work. However, the facts have proven that this spell has good effects in the face of high temperature environments, underwater environments or extreme cold conditions.
Gold coins and Christina finally easily entered the sea of fire, and Mahong and I also entered smoothly after adding auxiliary spells.
In fact, saving people in the sea of fire is not enough. You must also have a way to find the target you need in the sea of fire. The flames will shine when they burn. Everyone knows this, but in the fire scene, there will be an effect similar to overexposed. The ability of human eyes to distinguish things in this environment is actually very bad, so it is not enough to just be afraid of fire. You also need the ability to accurately find the target in the fire scene.
Originally, magic sensing is a good ability, which can detect the fire scene without being disturbed by flames. Unfortunately, the targets here are all ordinary people, so there is no magic that can be used to be discovered by us, so naturally we cannot use this method to find it. Fortunately, we all have some of our own small means, and finally we can still see the objects in the fire scene.
In order to increase the search speed, we automatically dispersed after entering the fire. I directly turned on my life detection ability and then began to search forward bit by bit along the streets of the fire.
