Chapter 1616 Not a buddy (1/4)

“Not a buddy.”

Mandy stood on the edge of the cliff, staring blankly at the sea of ​​fire burning in the distance. Even though it hadn’t reached her, the distorted scene, the black flames that almost covered the sky, and the crackling and roaring sounds of the flames all foreshadowed one thing, that is, if she didn’t run, she might not have a chance to run.

Lu Mingfei, your mother

Don’t ask Mandy why she scolded Lu Mingfei, because she doesn’t believe in coincidences.

Let me sort it out for you. Now Mandy’s watch timer has just passed 24 hours. The insurance contract between her and Lu Mingfei has come into effect. Then it is known that Lu Mingfei can use the authority of the King of Bronze and Fire for unknown reasons. Then at this juncture, a forest fire "suddenly" broke out on the island of Atlantis. Judging from this trend, the fire should have spread from the beach——

You want her to believe that this is a coincidence? Then she should just curse Lu Mingfei's whole family. If she cursed the wrong person, she could just apologize afterwards. If she cursed the right person, she must not have cursed hard enough!

Mandy was in a daze for a few seconds, then turned around and ran towards the cliff of the canyon, pulled up the rope and jumped to the cave below.

The reason why she was able to find out before the fire spread to her side was because the movement of the prehistoric creatures who fled because of the fire was too loud, just like an earthquake, almost causing the cave where she and Ling were hiding to collapse. After the terrible movement passed, she was brave enough to go out and take a look, and was shocked to find that the fire had burned to her eyebrows.

Admittedly, this cave is naturally hung on the edge of the cliff, and the fire and smoke should not be able to burn down there, but don't ignore one thing, that is, the oxygen-deficient environment that a large-scale forest fire will inevitably form, and the stuffiness of the semi-enclosed space caused by the terrible temperature.

The cave where they were hiding was not too far from the ground. The fire would most likely cause these two situations to happen. Zero and Mandy, who were still hiding in the cave, would probably become roasted chickens in the oven and be suffocated to death.

Even if they could withstand the high temperature and lack of oxygen at that time, the drying up of the water source would still be a huge problem. The main reason why they could stay in this cave for such a long time without rushing to run around and explore was that there was a crack in the cave connecting to a small pond on the ground above their heads. The water source seeped down from the soil and cracks and dripped into the cave, becoming a natural faucet that could not be turned off.

But if the fire came, there would be no water source. The area of ​​the small pond would evaporate and dry up soon. Then they would face three debuffs in the cave: lack of food, lack of water, lack of oxygen, and high temperature, and they would basically be close to death.

The only way now was to run away. Anyway, the group of dinosaurs had already fled ahead of them, and now was the right time to run away.

Mandy followed the rope into the cave and found that Zero had gotten up from the straw couch and was trying to move her body. She looked like she was fine. A pink strip of tender flesh had grown from the wound on her abdomen. Except for the fact that she was dressed like someone who was fleeing, there should be no major problems.

"What happened?" Zero seemed to have guessed that something bad had happened, and asked Mandy directly.

"How should I put it?" Mandy blinked and shrugged, "I did ask him to make some noise after he got to the island to remind me that the monkeys' reinforcements were coming. But I don't remember asking him to make such a big noise."

Zero looked at Mandy's painful look and said no more. He probably guessed that he couldn't stay in the cave anymore, so he walked out of the cave and climbed up the mountain wall with Mandy, holding the rope.

As soon as they got to the ground, the dead leaves blown by the approaching heat wave rolled directly onto their faces, lifting their hair high. When they looked up, they could see the terrible black smoke rolling over like a wall. The burning heat had already made people's mouths dry, and the moisture in their bodies was screaming for them to stay away.

The forest fire had already reached a very dangerous level, and when the wind blew, the speed at which the wildfire spread was even faster than expected.

Zero looked at the forest fire, which was punishable by at least ten years of imprisonment, and seemed to be a little dazed, but reacted after a moment, turned around and wanted to run, but Mandy grabbed her shoulder and motioned her to go into the dense forest and follow her.

The two ran all the way to a small pond with lotus leaves floating on it. Mandy took Zero to fill the water container they were carrying, then jumped in, pinched her nose to wet it to the top of her head, and finally climbed ashore.

Their physical strength is limited when they don't eat enough. Forest fires can spread at an astonishing speed of 10 kilometers per hour when there is wind. If they run the entire marathon, they may not be able to outrun the forest fire. Now getting wet is a safety measure, so that they can survive for a while through the moisture on their bodies in case they are caught up.

The preparations are complete, and then there is nothing to say, just run.

If there is anything more tragic than a forest fire, it is that the location of the forest fire is actually on an island surrounded by virgin forests!

Zero and Mandy are now in the hinterland of the island far away from the coastline. When they discovered the fire, the forest fire behind them was very close to them. If they were to run sideways towards the beach, they would inevitably be engulfed by the forest fire halfway through the run.

A better way to survive is to continue running towards the center of the island and find the mountain range that runs across almost the entire island. That is a natural isolation zone. As long as you climb up that mountain range or find a way to climb behind the mountain range, you can naturally isolate the forest fire on this side.

Obviously, the dinosaurs forced to migrate by the forest fire did this. Zero and Mandy were hanging behind the fleeing group. Along the way, they saw many rotten bodies on the ground in the primitive forest that was trampled and smashed to pieces. Those were dragon blood hybrids that were trampled to death in the fleeing group or blasted to pieces by some words.

Mandy was glad that she didn't discover the fire too early. If she fled too early, with the speed of her and Zero, they would be caught up by the dinosaurs behind them sooner or later. At that time, even if the dinosaurs didn't intend to attack them, they might not survive in the dust and the chaotic tide of words. Now the bloody corpses on the ground have served as a signpost, and the two do not have to worry about running blindly and running in the wrong direction.

After running for about fifteen minutes, the two temporarily left the forest fire behind them for a distance, but their physical strength began to fail. Mandy was fine, but Zero was obviously a little overwhelmed. The repair of her abdominal wound consumed a lot of energy stored in her body, and coupled with the previous battle and the release of the Word Spirit, her running speed has obviously slowed down.

Mandy had no choice but to slow down with her, but fortunately, the place where they first hid was in the heart of Atlantis, so it was not too far from the mountain range that separated the two halves in the middle of the island.

But just when they approached the foot of the mountain, an accident still happened, or was it an inevitable risk?

A huge shadow suddenly appeared in the dense forest in front of Zero and Mandy. It was a ferocious Tarbosaurus. When the ferocious head rushed out of the woods, the two thought that this guy was ambushing them. They subconsciously rolled to both sides and rushed out. As a result, there was a sound of a crash behind them.

Looking back, the Tarbosaurus head hit the ground directly, and a group of Coelophysis fell on it. These small dinosaurs are the few dinosaurs that have preserved evidence of cannibalism. When archaeologists discover their fossils, they often find some small bones of the same kind in the bones of the stomach, proving their ferocity and cruelty when they were alive.

But on Atlantis, these groups of Coelophysis would choose to hunt creatures several times larger than them when they had no choice. This Tarbosaurus was obviously an example. It should have been a dominant creature, but it was beaten to death by a group of Coelophysis, which jumped on it and gnawed its dragon scales and flesh. A large amount of dragon blood splashed wantonly, attracting more ferocious predators to share a piece of the pie.

Watching another Daspletosaurus rush out and bite the Tarbosaurus on the ground, Mandy felt a little numb. She forgot one thing, that is, not all dinosaurs have the ability to climb over the steep mountains that run across the island, which is bound to lead to one thing happening-these fleeing dinosaurs will eventually be blocked at the foot of the mountains.

These prehistoric creatures, which are already bloodthirsty and violent, and have inherited the ferocity of dragon blood genes, can be imagined what will happen when they all gather in one place.

Mandy and Zero were separated by the Tarbosaurus being torn apart. Further ahead, the entire forest at the foot of the mountain had almost become a meat grinder, with a large number of prehistoric creatures of various species and species attacking each other frantically.

Before the forest fire reached them, the dinosaurs who were forced to gather together naturally became the biggest threat to each other. It was unknown which dinosaur, unable to bear the bloodthirstiness factor, took the first bite and bit off the throat of its neighbor, and the first trace of blood that spurted out became the horn for the start of this melee.

Chaos was already difficult to describe the situation. If it was a group of dinosaurs biting each other, it would be fine. The problem was that these dinosaurs could release words of varying power one by one.

For Mandy and Zero, it was like straying into the Gulf War, with air strikes and car bombs everywhere, one by one, the fields collided and overlapped with each other, and the elemental turbulence collided with the spirit, causing unrealistic illusions in people's minds.
