Chapter 1543: Red flames

Not only the Coyotes, but the elves were also confused by Zhang Zian’s series of actions. They knew that he had a lot of things in his backpack, but they did not expect to have this kind of burning stick that could be thrown out.

In fact, it was not a rare thing. It was just a road flare, which was easy to buy in the United States.

People said that the United States was a country built on wheels. It was vast and sparsely populated, and it was difficult to move without a car.

What if the car breaks down while driving? Of course, it was to repair the car, but what if it broke down in the wilderness? Mobile phone signal coverage in the United States was not high, and there were often signal blind spots in the wild. It was very troublesome for a car to malfunction in the wild at night. They could only ask for help from passing vehicles, either to repair their car or to take themselves to the repair shop in the nearby town.

It was dangerous to stop a car on the road in the middle of the night. If the driver didn’t notice you, you might be directly hit and sent flying. However, if you were waving a Burning Road torch, you would be noticed by others from far away.

In addition, if the car broke down on the road at night, in order to prevent other vehicles from crashing into it without being able to see clearly, a road torch could also be placed a certain distance behind the car to warn the vehicles that came later.

Nowadays, road torches didn’t necessarily burn. Many of them were electric torches with batteries, but Zhang Zian still bought real road torches.

The torch on the road was like a large match, and the rough part of the cap was red phosphorus. The flammable objects in the torch carried an oxidizer, which would burn violently when it came into contact with the red phosphorus. It could last for at least a few minutes. Not only could it be used for road help, but it could also be used to drive away wild beasts and act as a distress signal in the wild so that the search and rescue helicopters could see you.

This thing was considered a throwing weapon. How far it could be thrown depended on the arm strength of the thrower. As for its accuracy, the further it was, the worse it would be.

If it was thrown at the coyote, it would definitely be ineffective. The coyote would avoid it nimbly, but this United States Badger liked to dig holes and hide itself. He could not be blamed for this.

The brightness, power, and smell of the road torch were far better than that of a bonfire. As it contained an oxidizer, it could burn in the rain or even in water. The first inch was especially intense because it was compressed with a large amount of flammables. It burned more intensely than the later parts and gave off an extremely dazzling red light. Once it was ignited, it was almost impossible to extinguish it.

It was precisely because this thing burned so intensely that it instantly dried the moisture in the dead branches and leaves at the landing spot and set them on fire.

The red light illuminated the nearby forest, and even Richard, who had night blindness in birds, could temporarily see again.

“Kaka! What a brilliant and brilliant sun!”

“Argh! Your eyes are shining!”

“It’s as brilliant as the sun!”

It opened its mouth and sang “my sun” in Italian. Its thick, high-pitched voice traveled far in the silent forest, startling the birds that had long returned to their nests at night and causing them to fly away in groups.

The Coyotes finally adapted to the bonfire, and suddenly there was a more powerful light source and heat source, which suddenly made it a mess. The United States Badger was even more unlucky. The fur on its butt was thick and dry, like a broom. It would catch fire with a touch.

In addition to the smell of sulfur, there was also the stench of burning protein in the air.

It screamed in pain and ran around mindlessly, but the Coyotes, who regarded it as a military counselor, avoided it in fear, afraid that the moving fire would implicate them.

If it had been in another place, the United States Badger might have been burned to death, but there happened to be a small stream nearby. Zhang Zian and the deer had set up camp near the stream. It ran and ran, and probably understood, so it jumped into the stream and put out the fire on its body.

When it came out of the water again, the lower half of its fur had been completely burned off, revealing its flesh. The front half of its fur had also been burned half-bald, and it was the most appropriate word to describe it-Pi Xiu was in a sorry state.

It could no longer care about the pack of wolves, limped into the forest, and disappeared.

The black wolfdog was a battle-hardened leader. Seeing that their morale had been greatly reduced, the wolves lost all will to fight. They could only howl bitterly and follow the United States badger into the woods.

The other coyotes also ran away, and the forest returned to its calm.

Richard was also back to his blind state.

The torches on the road were still burning, but the light had been greatly weakened.

Zhang Zian walked over, picked it up, and threw it into the stream. He then filled an empty can with water to put out the fire on the grass to avoid causing a forest fire.

The herd of deer quieted down, probably because the coyote had run away.

“I almost burned that demon to death.” Old time tea sighed.”I saw that ... The United States Badger is very old, and its fur is white. I’m afraid it’s old and smart, but it ran away.”

Old time tea was still brooding over the legend of the bei. It always felt that this thing had an evil and Yin Qi. After all, it was an animal that liked to dig holes.

“It’s okay. It’s been burned by the fire. Even if it doesn’t die, it’ll be half dead. It won’t cause much damage. It’s just an old Badger.” Zhang Zian explained to old time tea.

“Squeak! Squeak!”

Pi was so happy that it threw away the branch and danced to celebrate the victory.

“Pi, you’re great!”

Zhang Zian gave it a thumbs up.”You’re brave and strong. You’re amazing!” Able to be civil and able to be martial, both blossomed!”

“Squeak ...”

Pi was not used to being praised, so it covered its face in embarrassment.

“Kaka! Where is yours truly? Am I also very powerful? You idiot, aren’t you going to praise me?”

Richard called out, but it couldn’t see clearly, so it wasn’t facing Zhang Zian.

“Hehe.”

Zhang Zian had long been speechless at this cheap bird. He picked it up and washed its butt in the stream, then put it by the bonfire to let it dry its feathers.

“Ohoh! Is this ... Is this the legendary Ice and Fire?”

It was talking nonsense that Zhang Zian couldn’t understand, and no one paid it any attention.

“Galaxy, thank you for reminding me.”

He thanked Galaxy again. If Galaxy had not reminded him to keep the bonfire burning, something might have happened. Pi and Richard might have been hurt by the pack of coyotes.

“Meow?”

Galaxy tilted its head, as if it didn’t understand what he was saying.

“Thank you, too, spotted.”

He raised his head and said to the spotted owl, thanking the sentries for the night.

It squatted on the branch above its head, neither flying nor barking. Its stomach was not as shriveled as it had been two nights ago, and it was probably quietly full. It seemed that it had recovered most of its ability to hunt for food.

After such a long time, it was still far from daybreak.

Zhang Zian and the Elfins didn’t feel sleepy for the time being. They first went around to pick up some dead branches, increased the bonfire, and then went back into the tent, sleeping until dawn.
