Creating a Different World - Chapter 2239

[Chapter 2239 Holy Fire Pearl]

Yulin Valley should have been a bustling place.

However, when the team arrived on the Skunk, they saw only ruins.

The heat in the city was more than twice as high as other places, the hot smoke filled the sky, the charcoal everywhere, and the unextinguished sparks, all silently accused a fire that came from nowhere.

“How could this happen?” Lu Liang couldn’t believe it when he saw this scene, and the charred corpses he vaguely saw made him feel nauseous and want to vomit.

A grown man was like this, not to mention Song Yi and Jiang Hui, who had been hiding behind the Skunk and dared not look at this horrible scene, and vomited out everything they had eaten all day.

Jia Zhengjin was also a little surprised. The fire seemed to come very suddenly and coincidentally.

Of course, he was used to this kind of scene, so he said, “It seems that we can’t go into the city for supplies. There is nothing here! We need to find a suitable place to stay nearby before night falls, and then find food and water. At least we need to prepare food for tomorrow’s journey.”

“Let’s go forward!” Lu Liang said, “There are forests and rivers over there, and we can definitely get food. We need to get away from this scorched earth and camp in a more comfortable environment!”

So the team set out again, crossing the Yulin Valley and moving forward along the road.

When they were five or six miles away from the Yulin Valley, they stopped in a forest near the river. There were

many giant beasts in the forest. After using the stinky farts of the skunk to drive them away, they found a suitable place to camp by the river.

Lu Liang began to dig a basement with a shovel and a pickaxe, while Song Yi and Jiang Hui looked for wild fruits in the woods near the skunk and picked up firewood.

Jia Zhengjin was responsible for fishing by the river and collecting drinking water.

“What’s going on in the Yulin Valley?” Fishing was very simple for Jia Zhengjin, especially since Lu Liang made him an iron spear, which was a handy weapon. While fishing, he whispered to Apurastissa, “When we came, it was burned to ruins. You came here to look for the Holy Fire Pearl, could it be related to it?”

“Impossible!” Apurastissa shook his head, sat on his shoulders and shook his legs, “I am the only one who can sense the five pearls, and I am the only one who can find them. Moreover, the Holy Fire Pearl only represents the power of fire, and the power will not leak out and cause a fire. You have to know that it has been sleeping here for thousands of years!”

“What about the situation in Yulin Valley?”

“It should be just an accident, right?” Apurastissa shrugged.

“If it was an accident, it would be such a coincidence! We came here to look for the Holy Fire Pearl, and before we arrived, the whole city was burned to ashes, and there was no one alive.” Jia Zhengjin pondered for a moment, “After thinking about it, it might be man-made, and it was deliberately targeting us!” “

Who dares to target us?” Aperlastissa stretched and patted his mouth, “I have seen a lot of things like this, basically about 80% are accidents.”

“Whether it is an accident or someone deliberately targeted us, we will know when we go to look for the Holy Fire Pearl tonight!” Jia Zhengjin lifted a big fish out of the water at this place.

After gathering, Lu Liang, Song Yi and Jiang Hui were all surprised.

Lu Liang successfully dug the basement, Song Yi and Jiang Hui found a small amount of wild fruits and picked up a lot of dry firewood.

And Jia Zhengjin’s achievement was a super big fish about the same size as an adult, more than a dozen half-meter-long big fish and two giant shrimps as long as his arms.

There is enough here for the four of them to eat for many days, and they don’t have to worry about food on the road.

At the same time, all the containers that can hold water are full.

“Jia Chong, you are too good, aren’t you?” Lu Liang couldn’t close his mouth. “You caught all these by yourself? How do you catch such a big fish?”

Song Yi and Liang Hui nodded repeatedly on the side, thinking the same as Lu Liang.

“Don’t talk nonsense, let’s deal with it together!” Jia Zhengjin said, “Take out our portion for dinner today, and smoke the rest for preservation.”

“Yes, yes! It’s getting dark, let’s hurry up.” Lu Liang agreed with him, “Get ready early, and tomorrow will be comfortable!”

So several people worked together to take out the portion for dinner, and cut all the remaining fish meat and smoked it next to the campfire.

Late at night, the people who had eaten and drunk enough fell asleep again.

Jia Zhengjin and Aperlastissa were teleported by Nuwa, came out of the basement room, and instantly came to Yulin Valley.

Even after so long, Mars can still be seen everywhere in the scorched earth, even more obvious than during the day, and there is a red light wherever you can see.

Walking in the ruins, Jia Zhengjin was only concerned about where the Holy Fire Pearl was.

Apurastissa looked for the light he could see in the firelight, guiding him step by step towards the center of the ruined city.

“Is this the phosphorus powder secreted by fire ants?” On the way, Apurastissa found some strange powder on the ground. After flying over to take a closer look, he suddenly realized, “So that’s it. The culprit that caused Yulin Valley to become a scorched earth is fire ants!”

“Fire ants?”

“Look, the huge pit over there should be the footprints left by fire ants.” Apurastissa pointed to the other side, “It should be that a fire ant happened to pass by Yulin Valley, causing panic among the people in the city. It is estimated that someone launched an attack in a panic, causing the fire ants to be furious and spray phosphorus powder, which led to the entire city being burned down! This is the end of ignorance. When encountering a species like fire ants that contains phosphorus powder in their bodies, it is the right choice not to actively provoke it.”

Jia Zhengjin has heard of fire ants, but it is obvious that the fire ants on Earth are different from the fire ants in this world.

At least he has never heard that the fire ants on Earth would spray phosphorus powder to cause fires.

“Here!” During the conversation, Apurastissa suddenly flew to the side excitedly and landed on a piece of scorched earth ruins.

As his voice fell, a light appeared in the scorched earth, and then a strange red pearl broke out of the ground and flew directly into his hand.

“I got the Holy Fire Pearl!” Aperlastissa was very excited and took it back to Jia Zhengjin’s shoulder.

“Is this the Holy Fire Pearl?”

“Yes!” Aperlastissa said, “Now there is only one Holy Gold Pearl left. After absorbing the power of all the pearls, I can restore my divine power! I just need to rush to the wilderness mine cave and the goal will be achieved!”

“Not challenging!” Jia Zhengjin yawned in boredom. He thought that the journey to find five pearls would be particularly difficult. Who would have thought that it would be so easy to get four of them?

“Originally, I dispersed the pearls. How difficult is it to get them back?” Aperlastissa smiled, “Besides, if I recover my divine power earlier, you can get rid of trouble earlier, right? Well, hurry back! I want to absorb the energy of the Holy Fire Pearl, and then go to the wilderness mine cave together to find the last Holy Gold Pearl!”
