Spring had arrived and everything was revived.
The Spirit Prairie ushered in a mating season. The bright sun shone on the green grassland,
The green grass reflected a faint layer of gold. The scenery of the Spirit Prairie was picturesque and everything was peaceful and beautiful. Behind the hillside,
A small kangaroo was burying its head in the grass on the ground. Suddenly,
The little kangaroo raised its head and looked into the distance with its hands hanging on its chest.
Boom!
A monstrous fire rose from the ground, crossing the hillside and reflecting half the sky.
The little kangaroo's eyes widened in horror.
It ran. A black figure jumped from behind the hillside and slammed into the ground. Tang Mo didn't hesitate at all as he frantically ran forward. And behind him.
The sea of fire quickly hit. Hundreds of prairie animals also tried their best to escape.
If one looked down from a high altitude, the fire looked like a flood. The animals struggled to escape in front while the flood of flames rolled in from behind.
Mosaic's big match,
Once something was ignited, it had to be burned clean before the flame would extinguish. Tang Mo wasn't sure if this fire would really burn the entire Spirit Prairie but he couldn't afford to gamble. As he expected, he had been in the black tower's third floor attack game for two hours. He had been running since he entered the game.
The fire didn't stop.
Tang Mo gradually noticed that his physical strength was declining.
With his previous physical strength,
He would be exhausted after running for 20 minutes. Now he had been running for two hours.
It was a sprint type race against the flames.
It was very rare to be able to persist until now.
Tang Mo estimated his physical strength and thought, "I can run for another half an hour before the animals behind me will definitely catch up. Being caught by them means that Mosaic's fire will soon catch up. "
Things definitely couldn't continue like this.
Since entering the game, Tang Mo hadn't seen Mosaic. Mosaic should be hiding behind this sea of fire.
Grassland fires and forest fires often occurred on Earth. Such fires were fatal. Even if the flames didn't have the causality effect of Mosaic's match and could be extinguished, it still took a lot of manpower and material resources to stop such flames. The most common method was to create isolation strips.
"They just said that Mosaic set fire to the prairie again. That means this isn't the first time Mosaic has done this. " Tang Mo ran quickly while thinking, "Since they have experienced it once, these black tower monsters should know how to solve the problem."
Yes, Tang Mo had never heard of the Spirit Prairie. As soon as he arrived and before he had time to check the terrain, he was forced to run by Mosaic's fire. At this point, his best option was to follow the fleeing animals. The latter had experience and would definitely know how to deal with it.
However, 10 minutes later, Tang Mo gritted his teeth and shouted, "Their physical strength is better than mine!"
A brown and black patterned dog jumped past Tang Mo's side. As it passed by Tang Mo, it ran with its head lowered. Then it suddenly seemed to find something and looked back at Tang Mo with surprise. The bearded dog muttered, "Hey, underground people? Or a human? " He didn't have time to think and continued to run forward.
First, a giant dog surpassed Tang Mo and then a few four-legged black tower monsters surpassed him.
This time, Tang Mo had miscalculated. He didn't expect that these black tower monsters might know how to escape Mosaic's fire but their physical strength was much better than Tang Mo's. Perhaps as long as they ran at full speed for four hours, they could avoid the flames and find a suitable isolation strip. However, Tang Mo couldn't hold on for four hours.
One by one, the black tower monsters gradually surpassed Tang Mo. Once the last golden-haired hamster ran past Tang Mo's feet, Tang Mo was already the last of the large team. The flames behind him were still two kilometres away. The black tower monsters on the prairie ran into the distance, becoming small shadows.
Three minutes later, the black tower monsters disappeared into the sky. Tang Mo's eyes narrowed. The next second, he suddenly stopped and looked back. Tang Mo pulled out the small parasol and quickly recited a spell. He pointed the tip of the umbrella at the ground and drew a circle with a diameter of 10 metres. Then, without taking a break, he drew a circle with a diameter of twenty meters with the same center.
By the time he finished drawing the two concentric circles, the fire had approached one kilometre.
Tang Mo threw away the small parasol and pressed his hands to the ground. He shouted angrily and used all his strength, using the ability he got from a certain strength enhancing player. A black light flashed between his hands as Tang Mo grabbed the layer of turf and pulled hard. A circular lawn was forcibly pulled out from the ground.
Tang Mo threw the turf into the middle of the small circle and three seconds later, the fire came.
Tang Mo sat on this thick layer of turf, holding the small parasol as he watched the fire bypass the temporary isolation zone he made and continue to burn forward. The fire formed a circle around Tang Mo. No one would think that in this fire on the Spirit Prairie, there would be a human player sitting silently in the middle of the sea of fire, wiping his sweat and drinking water.
Two hours passed and the flames gradually became smaller. After another half an hour, the fire was completely extinguished.
As Tang Mo estimated, there was a certain isolation strip on the Spirit Prairie. As long as he ran there, he could avoid Mosaic's fire. Tang Mo originally wanted to run there with the black tower monsters but the situation had changed. He could only make another choice, making his own isolation strip.
If there were no black tower monsters, Tang Mo would've made this choice from the beginning. However, he couldn't do this with those monsters around. It was because once he took the initiative to make the isolation belt, the black tower monsters wouldn't face Mosaic's fire but a fresh human player.
It wasn't a good experience to be surrounded by hundreds of black tower monsters. Thus, Tang Mo waited until the monsters left before staying alone in the isolation strip.
"These black tower monsters are really a bit stupid."
Tang Mo wiped the sweat from his face. His skin was red from the fire and his body temperature had exceeded 40 degrees. As the fire went out, Tang Mo's body temperature gradually returned to normal. He finally had time to check the surrounding environment.
On the entire Spirit Prairie, apart from the circle with a diameter of 10 metres where Tang Mo was, the other places were scorched by the flames.
Mosaic's fire wasn't bad for Tang Mo. Without this fire, he would've faced hundreds of black tower monsters as soon as he entered the game.
Tang Mo drank a few more mouthfuls of water to moisten his dry lips. His hair was wet with sweat and fell to his forehead. Tang Mo used his hand to push his hair to the back of his head. Then he put away the small parasol and looked around calmly.
From the time he entered the game until now, the black tower hadn't given him any mission prompts.
The fire burned the prairie and every place looked exactly the same. Tang Mo looked at the position of the sun in the sky and decided to walk in the direction of the sun. At least he wouldn't get lost.
Tang Mo set foot on the black scorched earth.
Every 10 minutes, he would carve a pentagram on the ground as a mark. He walked for a long time and didn't see anyone. Walking on such a hot land, Tang Mo gradually felt that the soles of his feet were burning. He raised his feet and saw that a black mark had been burned on the bottom of his shoes. Tang Mo pondered for a moment before pulling out a pair of boots from his backpack. He took off the sneakers, threw them to the ground and put on the boots.
These were the shoes that the Iron Shoemaker had repaired for Tang Mo.
He put on these shoes and the hot soil no longer burned the soles.
Tang Mo made marks along the way. Once he reached a burned dead tree, he crouched down and carved the 135th mark. Tang Mo wiped the sweat from his forehead and was about to get up when he was suddenly shocked. A chill came from behind him. He quickly turned his head to look behind him, only to see a pair of small black eyes peeking out from the charred ground, staring straight at him.
Tang Mo's hand pressed against the handle of the small parasol as he stared warily at the eyes. Soon, his eyes swept to the side. Around the small eyes, the soil was gently creeping, as if something was about to run out of the ground.
Almost in an instant, Tang Mo understood what it was and ran away.
Boom!
The soil was lifted and a huge black bug jumped out of the ground. It made a sharp howl from its mouth. This sound reached Tang Mo's ears and made his head hurt. It was like a thin needle piercing his eardrum into his brain. Tang Mo bit his lips so hard that they bled. The tingling made him instantly sober and he ran at full speed again.
But just as he was running, the sound of soil breaking rang out from behind him. Pairs of small black eyes peeked out from the ground. Dozens of black bugs screamed. Tang Mo covered his ears with both hands as he jumped over the obstacles and ran at full speed. Behind him was a dense swarm of black bugs.
He might be able to deal with one bug but there were so many bugs. No matter how strong they were, Tang Mo didn't want to face them.
The unknown was dangerous. This was the third floor of the black tower and the strength of any monster couldn't be underestimated.
Tang Mo tried his best to run forward, jumping over hillsides and gullies. The bugs seemed to recognize him as they wriggled their eight feet and screamed towards him. Suddenly, there was the sound of wind breaking behind Tang Mo. Tang Mo subconsciously moved sideways and rolled on the ground.
A black liquid fell where he had just been. The liquid splashed on the ground and instantly corroded it. Tang Mo's eyes slowly widened as he watched this scene.
"… Damn!"
Tang Mo turned and ran again.
On the boundless Elven Prairie, a tiny human was running in front, followed by dozens of bedbugs. Tang Mo's physical strength wasn't as good as these black tower monsters. He ran for an hour before the black bug caught up. The strong bug's feet waved and hit Tang Mo's chest. Tang Mo reacted quickly and opened the small parasol to block it.
The black bug's feet hit the small parasol and Tang Mo's whole body flew out. With this force, Tang Mo wanted to take the opportunity to run again but another giant bug was already in front of him. Dozens of giant bugs quickly surrounded him and Tang Mo looked at them calmly. The next moment, he opened his mouth and took a deep breath, spewing out a violent storm.
The strong hurricane blew the bugs away, creating a path for them to pass. Tang Mo seized the opportunity to escape again. Who would've expected the strong wind to only make the bugs take two steps back before attacking again. Tang Mo bent over to avoid a bug's foot and a second one waved over. He opened the small parasol and kept dodging the bug's feet.
The sonorous sound of metal clashing rang out. There were too many bugs and it became harder for Tang Mo to avoid them. He kicked the hard shell of a bug and used the momentum to jump into the air. He turned his left hand and a huge match appeared in his palm. Tang Mo shouted angrily as the match head slid towards the bug's shell. Sparks flew as Tang Mo used the big match to ignite the bug's body. Once the match touched the bug's shell, Tang Mo's eyes widened and he stared at the match head with astonishment.
A huge bug's foot slammed Tang Mo into the ground. Tang Mo rolled on the ground to avoid the attack.
… Mosaic's match couldn't ignite this bug!
Tang Mo's heart sank. While blocking the bugs' attacks and dodging their venom, he thought about how to deal with them. All the abilities went through his mind. He considered that the big match couldn't cause harm to these bugs. Tang Mo gritted his teeth and thought of the last ability.
"There's no need to use 'A Fast Man' until the last moment …" Tang Mo turned over to avoid a blow.
On the grassland, dozens of bugs frantically attacked the human in the centre of the encirclement. Tang Mo could only rely on his thin figure to avoid the bugs' attacks. These bugs had terrifying strength and hard shells but their shortcomings were obvious. They were too big. It wasn't easy for them to catch a small human.
The wind blew through the scorched land and not far away, a few pieces of dark soil slowly loosened. It didn't take long for the soil to be dug up and two huge, sticky heads appeared under the soil.
These were two giant earthworms.
They stared blankly at the battle in the distance, tilted their heads and made strange hissing sounds.
"Hiss, are the bugs killing the underground people?"
"It is a human, it is a human."
"A human? It is actually a human. He is so miserable. The bugs will definitely eat him. "
The two big earthworms whispered a few words and decided to return to the soil and not meddle in other people's business. However, they buried their heads together and didn't dig a hole to leave. After a long time, the hissing sounds were heard again.
"… Hiss, why do I think that human is so cute? I want to save him."
"Hiss, I also want to save him …"
"Hiss …"
On the other side, Tang Mo struggled to avoid the attacks of the two bugs. The situation was urgent. He gritted his teeth and decided to use the 'A Fast Man' ability. He was just about to use his ability when the sound of digging came from under his feet. Tang Mo heard the sound and moved to the side with vigilance. He hadn't gone far when the soil broke open. Tang Mo was about to escape when a huge round head hit him.
Tang Mo's eyes widened with amazement. By the time he recovered, he was already on the back of a huge earthworm. The two big earthworms grabbed Tang Mo and turned to run down. The bugs hadn't reacted yet and they had already dug dozens of metres with Tang Mo.
The bugs let out an ear-piercing roar and began to dig the soil with all their might.
After a long time, there was no figure on the grassland and dozens of big holes were left on the ground.
Tang Mo held on to the big earthworm and the two big earthworms hissed as they ran. Tang Mo listened carefully for a while but didn't understand what they were saying. Of course, he didn't know that the two big earthworms were still in the mood to talk while running.
"Hiss, he is so cute. I will carry him."
"I will carry him. You go away."
