How Am I Still Alive?

The team members are tired and exhausted, and the restlessness and anxiety make people's physical and mental energy doubled.

But when I really walked into the camp, what I heard was the dense and familiar footsteps of laughter and human voices, which made me feel at ease.

"Welcome, welcome, welcome comrades in the ancient city, it's a pity that you came at the wrong time, the scenery here is usually quite good, but your arrival means that today is a good time for us."

There are no slogans and no welcome signs, but these familiar ancient urban and rural accents instantly reassure many people from other places who "got on the wrong boat" in the team, but their expressions are subtle.

Naturally, the first and foremost thing is to ask what the hell this fire is all about.

"Nothing, a tree died."

When the answer came out, everyone was a little confused. Is this a tree?

But Lu Pingan himself in the crowd nodded thoughtfully.

He finally knew what the vague and strange feeling along the way was. The vitality of all the burning trees was connected to each other, and the flames were transmitted from below.

Moreover, this forest was too quiet, and Lu Pingan and his party did not even pick up any animal corpses along the way.

Looking around, Lu Pingan didn't even see other plant communities such as low shrubs, as if the entire forest had only one kind of burning firewood, either it was a single-plant forest, or other plants had been burned out first, This kind of special plant burns for a very long time.

"We call it 'Dasenmu'. In this forest, the whole body of a plant is exposed. It seems to be like a shrub-like branch, and the roots below are connected."

"It doesn't seem to be a normal death, does it?" Lu Pingan asked casually. He actually guessed what happened. In a sense, it has something to do with him.

The middle-aged man who was leading the other party shook his head and smiled wryly.

"Some time ago, we didn't think the forest was annoying, and it grew fast. We went to fight against weeds every day, so we went to the teachers of Jiugao."

Because they think the forest is annoying, they naturally think about weeding. In this regard, the most professional is the gardener. After all, this is within their business scope, but the most efficient and best is the driver of the flame element. Destruction ratio It's so easy to build.

"Our initial experiment failed. No matter what kind of flame it was, it could only burn a small piece. Although the efficiency was very high, it recovered within a few days." The person who spoke was a middle-aged man wearing black-rimmed glasses Lu Ping'an has seen his photo. On the bulletin board of the Ninth Vocational High School, his surname seems to be Zhang, and he is a law-level pyrotechnic master.

When Lu Ping'an was studying, he found that their entire team was invited away.

".Then, our gardener discovered that their vitality was connected, and it seemed that they were vaguely connected. We concentrated our strength and used a very powerful 'spontaneous combustion curse', which was successfully released on one of the targets. It turned out to be a conceptual level of self-combustion. do"

So, naturally, this "forest" was completely ignited.

"Uh, perfect death" someone said something, and the scene suddenly became a little subtle.

"It's okay, it's okay. It's been burning for four days. Our gardener has observed that its vitality is almost at the end. It is estimated that it will be fine after another two days of burning."

A huge body does not mean that the life class is a high position. When it encounters the curse of spontaneous combustion at the conceptual level and turns its huge vitality into firewood, it will burn more vigorously and last longer.

It's just unlucky, before the fire is completely extinguished, the original camp cannot be used. After all, the curse spreads from it.

And if the fire does go out, is the camp still usable?

"Is the caster still alive?"

This is obviously the result of playing around, the curse of concepts and rules, basically a certain connection must be established between the two.

He Dasenmu has not "burned" to death, and the casters who are the source of the curse will naturally bear the reaction of the curse.

In a sense, the two sides have become wrestlers on both sides of the tug-of-war, the kind where the loser falls off the cliff.

"...It's okay, at least they are all alive, but it may not be possible after a while."

Fortunately, they were united to perform the spell, and everyone took the backlash of the curse together. Now it depends on who can survive the other, whether the tree dies first or the person dies first.

Rule-based and conceptual capabilities are always double-edged swords. Either they don't work, and they often mean some kind of "absolute priority" after they work, which naturally means higher risks and costs.

Why not interrupt? I'm afraid that at the beginning of the design of this curse, no consideration was given to the situation of "burning, but not burning out".

It is also possible that it is just a simple curse out of control, but in fact there is no essential difference, it is a wonderful scene of tug-of-war with life.

Depending on the situation, there is a high probability that the tree will die first, but if one or two of the casters are unable to sustain it first, it may also cause an avalanche of chain reactions.

In this conceptual level of wrestling, outsiders cannot intervene in most cases, but now, it is not "most cases".

"I have a special self-healing ability, and it should work."

At this time, Lu Pingan took the initiative to stand up.

Whether it was to impress future mentors or take the initiative among explorers, Lu Pingan did not intend to hide.

Besides, when you are away from home, there is another profession that is more popular and protected than "milk".

"Really?" Immediately, the teacher was overjoyed.

——

"boom!"

Not long after Lu Ping'an followed the hurrying teacher Zhang in, while the others were still busy with their work, suddenly, the flames around them suddenly became much stronger.

In an instant, the heat wave hit, making people a little unbearable.

And after the initial shock and scorching heat, everyone also reacted.

This should be good news, the flames are burning more vigorously, and naturally the effect of the "curse of spontaneous combustion" has become stronger.

And then, behind the overjoyed Teacher Zhang, the teachers of the pyrotechnic department who were lying down also came out one by one, which naturally confirmed that everything was improving.

"...It's so possible, they couldn't move a few hours ago."

"What kind of healing ability is so outrageous."

"It may not be the healing ability of a doctor at all. In this level of soul confrontation, the help of a doctor who can only treat the body is extremely limited. Didn't our doctors say that they can't help at all?"

"It's about rules, it's about healing. You can see that their spirits have also recovered, which is very abnormal."

Under the discussion of the crowd, the flames burned even more vigorously.

The teachers who had been lying down for several days also moved their bodies excitedly. The better their condition was, the faster the tree would die.

However, Lu Pingan himself appeared before the explorers of the ancient city as a healer for the first time.
