Chapter 426: 238 Firefly Flame Butterfly (Please subscribe! Please vote monthly!)

Since time immemorial, water and fire have been incompatible, a Law all things follow.

I had never heard of water aiding the spread of fire.

Yet now, within this Underground Lake, such a vast expanse of water is actually ignited by Flames.

Above the surface of the lake, the water itself is ablaze with roaring fire.

This truly is the greatest oddity of all times.

Even Ye Jiuyun was dumbfounded.

Never in his life had he imagined that he would be burned to death on the surface of a lake.

It was an eye-opener, a knife scraping the buttocks.

"What do we do?"

How would Ye Jiuyun know what to do?

They did carry fire extinguishing equipment, but it was only for small-scale fires.

To extinguish fire of such magnitude, at a minimum, a professional fire brigade would be needed.

And now they were in the center of the lake.

Truly a dilemma with no path to the heavens and no door into the earth.

Someone thought about jumping from the boat into the lake.

Ye Jiuyun scolded him directly.

Jump into the lake?

You’re quite the talent!

The fire started in the water of the lake.

What difference would jumping into it make compared to diving into a raging inferno of burning oil?

Do you think you aren’t dying fast enough?

Ye Jiuyun was out of options.

The many armed police present were also out of options.

With such a blaze, there was nowhere to even begin controlling it.

Li Qiang looked behind the boat at Qin Hao, who was sitting on the back of the Banjiao Qingniu.

The Heavenly Master sitting there appeared completely unperturbed.

Steady as ever, as if the lake full of fire was beneath his notice.

Watching the Heavenly Master remain so composed, Li Qiang directly shouted, "Heavenly Master, save me!"

Nonsense!

At such a life-threatening moment, if you don’t ask the Heavenly Master for help, would you actually kneel down and beg the heavens?

Even the heavens have to notice you first!

The Heavenly Master now is even more effective than the heavens!

Sure enough, as soon as Li Qiang called out,

Qin Hao, who had been sitting on the Banjiao Qingniu concentrating on refining the Zombie inside the Purple Gourd, opened his eyes.

Qin Hao was just refining the Zombie within the Purple Gourd.

The Zombies caught earlier in the soluble cave turned out to be excellent material for refining Essence Pills.

A single Green Zombie could refine up to five Essence Pills.

Even better quality than Vampire!

In just a short while, Qin Hao had already reaped a bountiful harvest!

He now had tens of thousands of Essence Pills in hand.

While refining Essence Pills, Qin Hao was also refining the Purple Cloud Divine Thunder within his body.

So, he hadn’t been paying attention to the external situation.

Only now did he notice that the lake had caught fierce flames.

To the fire in the lake, unlike Li Qiang, Professor Cao, and the others’ panic,

Qin Hao wasn’t the least bit flustered.

It’s just a fire, why panic?

Qin Hao said, "Supreme Heavenly Venerate and everyone, don’t panic, I’ll take care of it!"

If it were Divine Fire, Qin Hao might take a closer look.

But it was merely Mortal Fire, what’s there to panic about?

Isn’t this something easily extinguished with a wave of the hand?

Qin Hao patted the Qingniu beneath him.

The Banjiao Qingniu "mooed" once.

Afterward, with a lift of its hoof, a large clump of blue clouds gathered above the hoof of the Banjiao Qingniu.

Once the blue clouds had accumulated to a certain extent, the Banjiao Qingniu stomped towards the blazing fire in front of it.

The next second, countless blue clouds spread from beneath the Qingniu’s hoof.

Every part of the lake’s surface touched by the blue clouds, no matter how large the flames, were extinguished instantaneously.

The effect was even better than using water to put out the fire!

Watching the Heavenly Master’s Banjiao Qingniu stomp, instantly extinguishing the roaring blaze on the lake,

Li Qiang, Ye Jiuyun, and the others were amazed beyond words.

This Qingniu, too, was a Divine Beast!

Capable of walking on water, soaring through voids, and gathering clouds!

With one stomp, the roaring fire was put out.

Even thinking with their butts, they knew that no ordinary Qingniu could do this?

This was definitely on the level of Divine Beasts.

The real deal in a purple robe!

After the fires on the lake’s surface were extinguished, a huge butterfly flew past in front of Qin Hao.

Qin Hao reached out his hand, and a butterfly gently landed upon it.

Looking at the butterfly, Qin Hao said, "This butterfly is known as the Firefly Flame Butterfly! The butterfly itself isn’t anything special; what’s special is that their wings naturally carry a flammable powder that falls into the water as they fly, turning the ordinary surface of the lake into a flammable object."

"When living people pass by, the chrysalis of the Firefly Flame Butterfly, sensing the aura of humans, will begin to hatch, and the butterflies will first flutter their wings and dance, scattering dust into the water.

At the same time, the chrysalis of the Firefly Flame Butterfly is like white phosphorus, igniting spontaneously in the air, scattering butterfly dust into the water, causing a large fire to break out. It is a very ingenious anti-theft measure!"

Professor Cao and his institute team, upon hearing Qin Hao’s explanation, also marveled in admiration.

This method of theft prevention was also extremely rare.

Even as veteran archaeologists, it was their first time hearing of it.

Using the special characteristics of the animal itself to create a trap.

A large number of chrysalises were installed on the cave ceiling.

The moment anyone entered the area, the chrysalis would automatically hatch when they came into contact with human aura.

Subsequently, a large number of butterflies would emerge.

The butterfly itself was non-toxic and had no special abilities.

This would greatly lower the intruders’ guard.

However, in reality, once the butterflies were released and the Firefly Flame Butterflies began to fly around the cave, the planner’s goal was already achieved.

By this time, the special dust from the Firefly Flame Butterfly’s wings had already fallen onto the surface of the lake.

They then just needed to time the falling of the chrysalis just right.

By lighting the entire lake surface on fire, the flames would engulf the entire area.

The purpose of the planners was to burn to death anyone who trespassed here alive.

This method of theft prevention was too clever.

It truly left no avenue for guard.

Despite their brush with death a moment ago, Professor Cao and his team couldn’t help but extol the ancients’ wisdom.
