Time, in the peaceful life of Austin and the Dragon Nest Tribe, slowly passed by.
But this stable life was destined to be broken one day.
That day came, as Austin, just as usual, was enhancing his strength and inspecting the status of the enormous tribe grouping he had built from seven kobolds. Satisfied, he strolled around while managing those foolish young dragons.
In the far sky, suddenly, billowing thick smoke rolled in, accompanied by heat waves like a tsunami torrent.
The forest land trembled amidst the rumblings.
Countless monsters were fleeing for their lives.
Animals were in a state of panic.
The Dragon Nest Tribe fell into an unprecedented alert.
The Dragon Nest Beastmen picked up their weapons, closed the city gates tightly, and stood on the city walls, gazing worriedly at the dense smoke that darkened the sky and the half of the sky stained red by flames.
It was a forest fire!
The terrible fire devoured everything in sight cleanly.
Especially in the past two weeks, the reason for which the climate change leaving the formerly abundant rainfall continually decreasing was unknown.
As of now, it hasn't rained a bit for three continuous days.
The blazing sun was scorching the forest land.
Just then, the fire came.
Beastman officers dispatched in large numbers, swiftly coming and going to examine the fire situation.
The news delivered was not good, this fire was terrifying; everything it passed over had been turned into ashes.
Using that line of massive walls of flames as a boundary, the entire forest land was split into two halves.
On one side was pitch-black scorched earth, on the other side was verdant forest land.
When Austin ascended into the sky, what he saw was this shocking scene.
The fire, an incredibly terrifying fire!
It was also the first forest fire that Austin encountered since transmigrating to this world ten years ago.
The speed at which the flames spread was extremely terrifying.
Due to the unknown changes in the climate these days, it made this fire even more fierce, and it even produced explosive phenomena.
The explosive phenomenon, a frightening phenomenon appearing in forest fires, terrifying high temperatures, and ample combustibles made the flames spread at a subsonic terrifying speed, engulfing everything.
In his previous life, many firefighters who died accidentally while rescuing forest fires perished under such a terrifying phenomenon.
Under Austin's gaze,
Numerous animals and monsters could not run fast enough and were swallowed by the formidable fire.
Trees tens or hundreds of meters high, lush branches, and leaves combusting within an instant, leaving behind charred trunks amidst raging flames.
"No, it can't go on like this!"
"If the fire continues to spread toward the Dragon Nest Territory, then the crops in the fields and even the established strongholds will be destroyed by the fire!"
Even from a long distance, Austin could still feel the terrifying heat wave rolling toward him.
The fire attribute magic power in the air seemed to have a chain reaction, boiling intensely.
Dry, hot.
Austin didn't think his tribe could escape unscathed from such a fire.
In the face of such a forest fire, everything has only one name—fuel!
Even water cannot stop it.
When the fire is not big, water can conquer fire.
But when the flame reaches a certain level, even water will be consumed!
"Quick, find a way!"
The fire rapidly spread, like a tsunami torrent, with terrifying high temperatures capable of heating and melting even steel!
Super Storm!
Austin began to attempt; his Talent Magic unfolded, a torrential downpour began to fall from the sky, wetting large areas of forest land.
The flowing qi connected with the mysterious void.
Within a radius of several dozen miles, it almost became Austin's arena.
However, for some reason, the fire element in the air was extremely active, not only suppressing the power of the water element but also producing an effect like an accelerant!
If it were in the past world, this rain that fell by Austin's hand would be enough to stop the fire.
However, this world is one with extraordinary abilities.
Even the fire intensified by the congregation of fire elements increased several tens or hundreds of times!
Austin's efforts had no effect.
The falling raindrops were completely evaporated by the terrifying high temperatures before the fire could spread.
Even though the fire was several hundred meters away, the branches and leaves of the trees had already been baked yellow and curled by the intense heat, then were engulfed by the fire in the blink of an eye!
That bit of rainwater was of no use at all!
"Damn it!"
With the terrifying speed of the explosion, the fire spread rapidly, engulfing everything.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
In the sky, Austin spread his wings, water-blue brilliance rippled out, a visible aura rippled around him as the center.
Super Water Dragon Wave!
Crash!
With the invocation of the Law of Water within him, a large number of water elements swiftly gathered in the air, a gigantic sky-blue water dragon emerged above the forest below!
A massive flow of water surged like a torrent.
The onrushing sea of flames was immediately breached by the water dragon.
A huge gap appeared in the enormous wall of flames.
It succeeded!
But Austin didn't even have time to be happy.
Even though he tore a huge gap in the forest fire, that gap was insignificant compared to the endless line of flames!
Meanwhile, as the blazing fire rapidly spread, it bypassed the vast area occupied by the water dragon, continuing to spread in a line behind.
On the charred ground, only a large green area remained, preserved by the water attribute magic cast by Austin earlier.
Like an isolated isle amid a vast black sea.
Nothing but a flat, black, burning hell could be seen all around.
Austin felt a bit despairing.
Even if he exhausted himself, using the Water Elemental Law to trigger a vast range of water attribute magic, there's absolutely no way to stop the forest fire in this sea of flames.
This sudden fire is likely to cause heavy losses.
It may be barely possible to keep the stronghold city secure, but as for the crops, they might face complete failure to harvest.
"No, living for ten years in this world, I also understand the climate of the Kawa Great Forest."
"This fire might not be an accident."
Thinking of the war in the deep Kawa Great Forest, a shadow rose in Austin's heart.
The climate anomalies these days might have been caused by some dreadful weapon?!
Has the war developed to such an extent!
"Damn it!"
Looking towards the core area, Austin cursed softly.
The terrifying forest fire in front was getting close to him, so he hurriedly flew back.
Amidst the chaos in the territory, with Dragon Nest Beastmen flocking into the stronghold city.
Returning, Austin saw the few young white dragons restlessly flying around in the sky, making cawing noises.
Suddenly, he thought of something.
Water can't deal with such a terrible forest fire, but what about the power of frost?
