Chapter 1052 is simply too "evil".
Chapter 1052 is simply too "evil".
As time passed, the flames in the forest park grew more intense, and the "air layer" on the ground was completely burned away.
Beneath the raging fire, a localized vacuum was actually created. The vacuum and the high temperature caused the landscape around the San Diego National Forest to begin to distort, as if space itself was about to be swallowed by the flames, creating an extremely eerie scene.
At this point, the sea of fire was no longer just a sea of fire, but could be described as a "raging inferno".
The flames throughout the forest, moving at a speed of over 100 kilometers per hour, rapidly converged towards the center of the forest, spreading out like an iron wall.
The fire, known as the "fire roar," did not spread gradually as usual. Instead, the flames swept in from the sky, turning yellow and red, creating a sea of fire in all directions.
The massive fire burned for five days and five nights before it was finally extinguished.
This was the result of Qin Zhong's deliberate manipulation; otherwise, it would not be surprising if such a large fire had burned for ten days, half a month, or even a whole month before being extinguished.
Unlike ordinary forest fires, the fire in the San Diego National Forest was extinguished almost simultaneously.
In what seemed like an instant, the forest flames, which had been as blazing as the rising sun, turned into black charcoal, leaving not even a spark.
If it weren't for the blackened charcoal and the still terrifyingly high temperature, the survivors watching would have doubted whether the forest fire had just been extinguished.
"Nimi, what's going on with this fire? It's burning in such a strange way!"
The fire attracted many evolved beings from San Diego City. At that moment, a skinny, bald black man asked a muscular man who was nearly three meters tall and wielding two long knives, "You have good relations with the government. Have you heard anything about this?"
"I heard it was a kid from China who set this fire to deal with the giant spider in the forest. But the way this fire burned was really strange. Kos, have you ever seen a forest fire that extinguishes itself without leaving a single spark?"
The burly black man with a tiger tattoo on his face shook his head and said with a solemn expression, "I wonder if that Chinese kid is dead or not. Daring to set fire to the mountain, that takes guts from an ordinary person."
"Whoosh!" Just then, a soft whooshing sound suddenly rang out, and then a blonde, slender white woman rushed out from behind a building that had been destroyed by the aftershocks of the flames.
When she got closer and looked at the forest that had turned to charcoal, she stuck out her tongue and said, "That's amazing! I thought this fire would burn for at least ten days or half a month, but I didn't expect it to be burned out so quickly."
"Messer, you're a fire-type awakener, explain to us why the fire suddenly went out?"
Looking at the blonde woman, who looked to be no more than twenty-four or twenty-five years old, the black man, Koss, frowned and said, "I have a feeling that something's not quite right about this fire, whether it's burning or extinguished..."
"Of course something's wrong. This forest is so big; even if you poured gasoline all over it, you couldn't possibly burn it all down in just five days..."
The blonde woman, Mercer, explained, "Trees always burn at different times, and trees vary in size. How could flames that start burning all disappear at the same time, without even leaving a single spark?"
As he spoke, a strange light flickered in Mercer's blue eyes: "I'm certain there's a powerful fire-elemental awakener in this forest. The burning and extinguishing of this forest were both his doing. The forest became like this because the fire-elemental awakener in the forest used his supernatural abilities to raise the temperature of the entire forest fire to its highest level, completely incinerating the trees, and then, at the moment when the flames were burning most intensely, absorbed all the fire-elemental energy into his body."
After explaining, the light in Mercer's beautiful blue eyes shone even brighter as she murmured to herself, "Compared to such a powerful being, my fire-based abilities are like the difference between a nuclear bomb and a lighter. I really want to see what he looks like."
……
"Clap clap clap!"
Just then, a series of soft cracking sounds came from the deepest part of the charred forest. Then, everyone present felt the temperature around them slowly rise, and a ray of brilliant light shone out from the depths of the forest.
"Clap clap clap!" The sound grew closer and closer, and the temperature rose higher and higher.
Half a minute later, a man whose entire body radiated a blazing red light, like red-hot steel, slowly appeared in the sight of the evolved beings.
As soon as he appeared, the surrounding temperature suddenly rose again, making many people feel as if they were being scorched by flames, and they were instantly drenched in sweat.
"Hello, did you start this fire? Also, are you a fire-type awakener?"
Everyone present was astonished to see Qin Zhong's entire body glowing red. Mercer rushed to Qin Zhong's side, asking excitedly, "How did you cultivate your fire-type superpower? Could you give me some pointers? I'm also a fire-type awakener!"
"call!"
Ignoring Mercer's overly familiar request for advice, Qin Zhong took a deep breath, activated his superpower, and forcefully sealed the raging, scorching fire energy within his body.
Then, he melted his right arm, took out tactical detection goggles, put them on his face, and said softly, "What did you say? Say it again. I don't understand English."
At this moment, he secretly rejoiced that he had integrated tactical detection goggles into his body before the battle.
Otherwise, if he accidentally damages this treasure, then his communication with these American people will likely be like talking to a brick wall, completely misunderstanding each other.
"Oh……"
Upon hearing Qin Zhong's words, Messer snapped out of his shock and repeated his question.
However, she now looks at Qin Zhong the same way she looks at everyone else, as if he were a monster.
After all, anyone would find it hard to accept seeing someone in front of them liquefy their arm and remove things, just like the liquid metal robot in Terminator.
"I started the fire, but I... am not a fire-type awakener." Hearing Mercer's question, Qin Chong smiled slightly and shook his head.
He certainly doesn't qualify as a fire-type awakened being in the normal sense. Unlike normal awakened beings, he needs an external medium, and his medium is fire.
"How is this possible? Does this guy think we're idiots?"
Upon hearing Qin Zhong's words, the gazes of everyone present turned to him with a hint of disdain.
Regardless of how this man started the fire or how he extinguished it, just looking at his fiery and shining appearance when he first appeared, who would believe that he wasn't a fire-type awakener!
"I understand. You don't want to teach me, so you say you're not a fire-type awakener?"
Looking at the faint smile on Qin Zhong's face, Messer blinked her blue eyes and said with a sudden realization, "I understand. It's your Chinese custom that you must apprentice before learning a skill, right?"
Before Qin Zhong could react, Messer clasped his fists together and pleaded earnestly, "Master above, disciple below, from now on I will do whatever you command me. Please accept me as your disciple!"
"What kind of nonsense is this? What exactly do you want?"
Upon hearing the words translated simultaneously through the tactical detection goggles, Qin Zhong rubbed his temples, then conjured a sharp knife in his hand and explained, "I'm really not a fire-type awakener. You see... I'm a metal-type awakener."
If the other party were a unreasonable and argumentative man, Qin Chong would have kicked him long ago and then flown away.
However, at this moment, standing opposite him was a slender and delicate beauty. Qin Zhong has always been weak against beautiful women, let alone such a beauty who admires him.
Thinking of this, he unconsciously glanced at Mercer's curvaceous body again.
Oh dear, I'm on top, she's on the bottom, what am I thinking...?
That's so evil!
