Meng Xiang fled back to the foot of the mountain in a panic. What annoyed him the most was that the two tomb robbers were still at the edge of the mountain. It was as if they had anticipated the result of Meng Xiang's going up the mountain this time, and they were smiling with ill intentions on their faces.
Meng Xiang felt embarrassed and didn't want to talk to them, but they came over and said with a hint of mockery: "Friend, now you know the dangers of the snakes in the mountains, right?"
Meng Xiang glared at them, furious. It was obvious that these two people had already known about the green snake on the mountain, but they just hadn't said anything. But he could only swallow his anger because he himself had always looked down on these two people.
"My friend, your injury is not serious. You should join us. One more person means more strength. If you are lucky enough to get the seal bracelet, we can split the money after selling it." One of them said confidently, as if he was sure that Meng Xiang would agree.
Meng Xiang snorted. He was already very angry and didn't want to waste any more time talking to them. He said coldly: "No need. Are those snakes powerful? Humph, in one or two days, you will see who is more powerful, them or me." He didn't want to talk nonsense with them anymore and walked back lightly. All he thought about was how to climb Mt. Ikoma.
He already has a very direct method. After all, this is just a plot world, so why should he be hesitant when doing things
When he returned to his mother-in-law's house, she was preparing dinner. The dinner was still sumptuous. Meng Xiang had a big appetite and ate to his heart's content.
While stuffing meat into his mouth, Meng Xiang asked his mother-in-law, "Grandma, are there any trucks for rent in your village?"
"Yes, they leave town once a day and bring goods back to the village to sell. Do you want to buy anything?"
"Yes, can you help me contact them when they are going out?" Meng Xiang said.
"Sure." The mother-in-law said as she put jirou into Meng Xiang's bowl, her face full of smiles, as if she was treating her own grandson. Obviously, long-term loneliness is more painful than poverty.
After dinner, the mother-in-law took Meng Xiang to the entrance of the village. In front of a shop where a truck was parked, she knocked on the door and said, "Is anyone there?"
The door opened, and inside was a young man. The old lady bowed and said, "Hello, this is the traveler Meng Xiang. He has to go to the town to do some shopping tomorrow. Can you take him with you?"
"It's the old lady. No problem, please come in and sit down." The young man invited them in with a smile on his face, very politely.
The truck set out at 4 a.m., arrived in the town at 6 a.m., and brought the goods back to the village around 10 a.m., which was exactly what Meng Xiang wanted. He had a crazy plan in mind. Even if there were more green snakes, he could get rid of them all at once.
After a peaceful night's sleep at his mother-in-law's house, Meng Xiang took a truck out of town the next day. The truck was originally going to buy vegetables and meat, but as the saying goes, "money makes the world go round." Meng Xiang's piece of gold moved the owner of the truck, who exchanged the food he had brought back for barrels of gasoline.
The dry wind is the best time for a mountain fire to start. Meng Xiang asked the owner to transport the gasoline to the side of Ikoma Mountain and unload the gasoline. The owner was also an honest man and was very curious. He asked cautiously: "Friend, why did you transport the gasoline here? If it catches fire, this place is too far from the town. I'm afraid the fire department will not be able to rescue in time and Ikoma Mountain will be burned to ashes."
"It's okay, big brother, don't worry. Please take me back to the village. I want to ask the villagers to help." Meng Xiang's smile still couldn't dispel the car owner's concerns. The villagers in Xiao Village were all honest people, and they didn't just care about money. But when Meng Xiang said he wanted to ask the villagers for help, his vigilance relaxed and he drove towards the village.
However, before he reached the village entrance, Meng Xiang had knocked him out. Although this was just a plot world, Meng Xiang could not bear to hurt these kind villagers as long as they did not hinder his next action. Therefore, he could not let the car owner tell others about this.
Meng Xiang returned to Ikoma Mountain again, looking up at the mountain with a cold expression. Although he suppressed it with his spiritual energy, his left arm, which was bitten by a snake, still hurt. The mountain was full of green snakes and bushes. Even if he could fly, he couldn't escape the siege of the green snakes except this method.
Fire burns Mt. Ikoma.
The whole mountain was burned down, and no matter how many green snakes there were, they were all turned into ashes.
Meng Xiang poured barrels of gasoline at the foot of the mountain. The pungent smell of gasoline seemed to awaken the demon sleeping on the mountain. The entire forest began to stir, and occasionally made a hissing sound.
Forest fires are most likely to start in dry weather. With the help of gasoline, the fire spread to the mountain in the blink of an eye. The sound of burning fire filled the surroundings. In order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, Meng Xiang quickly ran away and hid in the dark forest, waiting for the moment when Mt. Ikoma was burned.
The fire continued to burn, alarming not only the nearby villagers, but also the tomb robbers who were eyeing the seal bracelet. Attracted by the smoke from the wildfire, the nearby forests became more and more lively. Meng Xiang suppressed his spiritual energy and hid in the tree, waiting for the show to begin.
The wildfire was burning too fiercely, and the villagers were helpless when they arrived. The fire brigade did not arrive until the afternoon, but there was no water source around, and the fire had already burned to the mountainside, so they could only worry.
With the current fire, even if the fire brigade uses airplanes to put out the fire, it is impossible to put out the flames of Ikoma Mountain. Meng Xiang left with peace of mind. He was not worried that the seal bracelet would be stolen by tomb robbers first. Even if the mountain fire was extinguished, they would come out in full force. But this is a branch plot worth 6,000 points. How could the seal bracelet fall into the hands of ordinary people so easily? Anyway, judging from the fire, the fire will burn for a day, and then the police will need a day to deal with the aftermath. It will take at least until the third day before there is a chance to go into the mountain to explore.
Suddenly, Meng Xiang felt an unusual aura rising among the crowd. This aura was quite different, not like a monster, not like an evil spirit, and certainly not like a human with spiritual energy. Anyway, it was a mixture of many auras. As the wildfire started, this aura gradually intensified and was ready to explode.
Meng Xiang remembered that his grandmother had said that Hou Gui had been reincarnated as a human being, and that he was a reincarnated Shikigami that could not be summoned. Could it be that the owner of this aura was Hou Gui? This aura was mixed with murderous intent, and although its intensity did not exceed Meng Xiang's imagination, he knew that the owner of this aura could not be ignored, so he paid more attention to the actions of the onlookers.
However, as the onlookers came in and out, the atmosphere became chaotic and the smell disappeared. Meng Xiang had no choice but to go back to his mother-in-law's house to rest and come back to check on the situation the next day.
The mother-in-law felt very sorry about the fire on Ikoma Mountain, but she never suspected Meng Xiang. Although the owner of the gasoline transport truck had woken up, he had helped Meng Xiang transport gasoline after all. If this matter was exposed, he would be held accountable. So in order to avoid getting into trouble, he chose to remain silent whether facing the villagers or the police who came to investigate.
The fire continued to burn until the next afternoon, which was also the third day after Meng Xiang triggered the side story. Although the firefighters tried their best to put out the fire, they still couldn't stop the flames. The entire Ikoma Mountain was burned to ashes, and a strong burnt stench filled the surroundings.
After the fire, the cause of the fire was investigated, but the investigation was fruitless. After a day of investigation, there was no result. The alert firefighters and police set up a cordon and then retreated. In the jungle deep in the night, there was no sound of insects, only the occasional human breath.
Meng Xiang no longer felt the murderous intent from Hou Gui, but this made Meng Xiang even more uneasy. If he was still calm before, now it was like boiling water, ready to explode at any time.
Meng Xiang is determined to steal the sealed bracelet, and the only variable is the ghost behind it.
After the fire on Mt. Ikoma, the happiest people were naturally the tomb robbers. The green snakes that had been trying to stop them from going up the mountain had been burned to ashes in the fire. They no longer had any obstacles, but tomb robbing was an illegal activity after all, so they did not dare to take the risk of going up the mountain when the police closed the mountain.
The next day, before daybreak, all the police had been investigating until late at night and had only just left. At this time, the surrounding scenery could already be seen clearly. The tomb robbers who had been hiding could no longer bear it and were ready to move.
"Pah pah..." The sound of light footsteps breaking dead branches came from the foot of Mt. Ikoma. Because the surroundings were too lonely, even the slightest sound would be heard far away.
Meng Xiang had learned his lesson this time. Who knew what other traps there were on the mountain? He followed the tomb robbers. With his speed and strength, it would be easy for him to catch up with them.
The first person to climb the mountain sounded the horn for everyone to climb. In an instant, people around rushed out and climbed up the mountain along the perimeter of Mt. Ikoma.
