Chapter 269: Fire Attack!
Returning to Tom’s side, Fang Xiaocao sat on the ground and exhaled a breath: “Gosh, that was scary.”
Seeing Fang Xiaocao’s appearance, Tom was stunned.
He looked at Taotie and Hummingbird in confusion.
He asked them with his eyes what was wrong with Fang Xiaocao.
“There’s a corpse pit over there, with a lot of cannibal rats inside. The princess was frightened.”
Receiving Tom’s gaze, Hummingbird explained.
Hearing Hummingbird’s explanation, Tom smiled.
In Tom’s view, this was a normal reaction!
Tom continued to lower his head and make Molotov cocktails.
Fang Xiaocao sat on the ground and calmed down for a while.
Finally, when her legs didn’t feel weak anymore, she got up from the ground, walked to Tom’s side, and squatted down to watch how Tom made the Molotov cocktails.
Sensing Fang Xiaocao’s movements, Tom glanced up at Fang Xiaocao, smiled, and didn’t say anything. He just slowed down the movements of making the Molotov cocktails.
Seeing this, Fang Xiaocao smiled slightly.
She enjoyed learning new and interesting knowledge.
Fang Xiaocao always believed that having more skills was never a bad thing.
Fang Xiaocao knew that since she had embarked on the path of entering the underworld, she was destined to often face the bloody storms of fighting in the underworld.
Learning more meant having more self-protection.
Learning to make Molotov cocktails now might be her means of survival one day in the future.
When the last Molotov cocktail was finished, Tom exhaled a breath, arranged all the Molotov cocktails, and stood up from the ground.
Fang Xiaocao also got up, still recalling the making process of the Molotov cocktails.
“Princess, have you learned it?”
Tom asked with a smile.
Fang Xiaocao smiled and nodded: “My brain tells me it has!”
“But… whether I can do it is another matter.”
Saying that, Fang Xiaocao giggled.
Tom couldn’t help but shake his head and smile.
This princess had a very good personality.
Good mentality!
She had the personality of an unkillable cockroach.
She was very suitable for this line of work, just a little clumsy.
However, with him around.
Being a little clumsy didn’t matter.
He was the princess’s strongest brain.
Similarly, having a slightly weaker skill didn’t matter.
There was Taotie, the strongest combat power.
With more training, she would have the ability to protect herself.
Fang Xiaocao wasn’t being modest.
She really wasn’t sure if she had learned it.
This was a common phenomenon among contemporary young people.
They could learn it as soon as they saw it, but they would fail as soon as they tried to do it.
It wasn’t that Fang Xiaocao was not capable.
Fang Xiaocao was just following the trend.
“Princess, let’s go over there.”
Tom pointed to the passage leading to the corpse pit and said.
Fang Xiaocao nodded: “Okay!”
Tom bent down to pick up the Molotov cocktails, and Taotie and Hummingbird also came to help. Fang Xiaocao wanted to help, but was refused.
Because the Molotov cocktails were too dangerous, Tom was afraid that Fang Xiaocao would be clumsy and break the Molotov cocktails.
That would be “really” playing with fire and burning themselves.
Fang Xiaocao had no choice but to nod in agreement.
Arriving in front of the corpse pit, they peered into the corpse pit.
After watching for a while, Tom retracted his gaze.
“This corpse pit should be a burial pit of an ancient tomb. Later, someone expanded the burial pit, and now it has become a place where the pawnshop disposes of corpses.”
Tom said in a deep voice.
“Ancient tomb?”
Fang Xiaocao was stunned.
“Yes!”
“Ancient tomb!”
Tom nodded.
“There should be a tomb here, which was later transformed into a treasure cave.”
“Now, I don’t know if the treasure cave is still there, but some of the structures of the previous ancient tomb have been transformed into an underground base by the pawnshop.”
Tom used his brain to analyze.
Fang Xiaocao blinked, feeling it made a lot of sense.
“Tom, how do we do it? You give the word.”
“We’ll talk about the ancient tomb later. Let’s deal with these cannibal rats first. These guys make me shudder.”
Taotie interrupted Tom’s words, which he wanted to continue analyzing.
Tom glared at Taotie, but nodded anyway: “I just looked at the situation of the corpse pit. The cannibal rats can climb out, so we have to use flames to seal the edge of the corpse pit and trap these cannibal rats in the corpse pit.”
Hearing Tom’s words, Fang Xiaocao nodded.
“Tom is right.”
“How to do it, Tom, you arrange it.”
Fang Xiaocao said with a smile.
“Okay!”
Tom nodded.
“We’ll do it like this. Princess and Hummingbird, you are responsible for throwing super-concentrated fuel at the edge of the corpse pit, and Taotie and I are responsible for throwing Molotov cocktails at the corresponding points.”
“I’ve seen it. The corpses, dry bones, and corpse oil in the corpse pit are all good firewood. With the super-concentrated fuel to help burn, as long as we move fast enough, the flames generated by the explosion of the Molotov cocktails can form a fire net in an instant before the cannibal rats run out, trapping all the cannibal rats in the corpse pit.”
“As long as they’re trapped, they can’t escape.”
“All the cannibal rats will turn into ashes along with the corpses in the corpse pit.”
Tom eloquently explained his plan.
“Let’s do it like this!”
After listening to Tom’s plan, Fang Xiaocao decisively made a decision to follow Tom’s arrangement.
Tom distributed the super-concentrated fuel to Fang Xiaocao and Hummingbird. Fang Xiaocao and the others took the super-concentrated materials and tiptoed to the front of the corpse pit. They glanced at the cannibal rats feasting in the corpse pit and began to throw super-concentrated fuel into the corpse pit according to the plan.
Fang Xiaocao and Hummingbird were very efficient.
Hundreds of pieces of super-concentrated fuel were thrown away by Fang Xiaocao and the others.
After throwing the last piece of super-concentrated fuel, Fang Xiaocao made a gesture to Tom and Taotie.
Tom and Taotie understood and walked over with Molotov cocktails: “Princess, you and Hummingbird retreat to the cave first. The explosion of the Molotov cocktails is very hot, so as not to cause you discomfort.”
“Okay!”
Fang Xiaocao nodded and responded.
She retreated to the cave with Hummingbird.
Tom watched Fang Xiaocao and Hummingbird retreat far enough before retracting his gaze and preparing to throw bombs.
“Taotie, let’s each take one side. I’ll throw the near side, and you throw the far side, okay?”
Tom asked in a deep voice.
“No problem!”
Taotie grinned, picked up a Molotov cocktail, and threw it out with a “whoosh.”
Seeing this, Tom didn’t talk nonsense and immediately started throwing Molotov cocktails to form a fire wall on the pit edge facing him first, so that even if the cannibal rats in the pit wanted to run, they wouldn’t choose this side.
At least it could ensure his safety and that of others.
As Taotie and Tom kept throwing Molotov cocktails, the entire outer ring of the corpse pit was soon engulfed by the raging fire.
In the flames, countless cannibal rats let out panicked “squeak squeak” screams, one after another, very harsh. The pungent stench produced by the fire burning the corpses made Tom and Taotie dizzy.
“Quick!”
“Throw all the Molotov cocktails in, and we’ll retreat quickly.”
Tom shouted and picked up a Molotov cocktail, throwing it into the middle of the corpse pit.
