"Are you alright?"
Seeing Lin Beichen open his eyes, Wang Hao finally let out a sigh of relief.
In Wang Hao’s eyes, nothing was more important than Lin Beichen’s safety.
"I’m fine."
Lin Beichen’s fainting was caused by a sudden strike of thunder while he was celebrating the enhancement of his Wood Elemental Power, without noticing the unexpected appearance of the thunder. If he had been prepared, he wouldn’t have been so embarrassed.
"It seems my Wood Elemental Power has indeed significantly improved, it should now be at the third level!"
After being helped up, Lin Beichen remained seated in the lotus position. He had no time to care about his disheveled state, his mind was entirely focused on assessing his own strength.
The previous enhancement of the Thunder Element’s power had failed despite Lin Beichen’s efforts. He suspected that other Elemental Powers needed to be enhanced first before the Electric Element could be improved again.
Because of this idea, Lin Beichen worked hard to elevate the levels of his other Elemental Powers. The significant improvement in his Wood Elemental Power now indicated that he was one step closer to his ultimate goal!
"However, why have the flames around us grown larger?"
Although he had been in a meditative state, Lin Beichen could feel the increase in the size of the surrounding flames. This wasn’t something he did purposefully, but a natural perception due to his mastery over the Fire Element.
At that moment, Lin Beichen clearly felt that the concentration of the Fire Element around him had increased, which was the best evidence of the growing flames around them!
"Maybe it’s because the wind picked up."
Wang Hao glanced around at their environment.
Although the fire had noticeably grown, their immediate area remained unaffected, which was the best thing for them.
Despite no explicit evidence, Wang Hao knew in his heart that the situation was certainly influenced by Lin Beichen.
"So, can I get a set of clothes?"
After regaining consciousness, Lin Beichen looked down at himself and blushed slightly.
"Here, wear this."
Before Wang Hao could respond, a nearby hunter quickly spoke and handed Lin Beichen a long robe and a cloak. After putting them on, Lin Beichen stood up. Though some parts were still exposed, it was much better than being completely naked.
"Maybe it’s because of the enhancement of the Wood Element."
In the cycle of the Five Elements, wood generates fire. So with the enhanced Wood Elemental Power around, the fire naturally grew bigger, this was indisputable.
"But how are we going to extinguish this fire!"
Lin Beichen muttered to himself.
The surrounding firefighters showed an odd expression upon hearing Lin Beichen’s words. They were about to say something but were stopped by Wang Hao’s gaze.
These firefighters were from the mountain fire brigade and were the first to encounter Wang Hao and the others. They didn’t know Wang Hao’s identity but sensed that these people were not ordinary.
Meanwhile, at the city fire command center, not only did the fire chief sit in the center, but even the city secretary was there.
The deputy fire chief and the mayor hurried to the fire scene, witnessing the oasis in the flames via helicopter footage.
"No matter what it takes, there can be no casualties!"
The city secretary said to the fire chief.
The fire chief nodded upon hearing this.
He wasn’t surprised by the city secretary’s request because Dragon Country always valued human life above all else.
"What’s going on with those people!"
The city secretary suddenly pointed at a spot on the helicopter feed, his expression becoming agitated.
The fire chief followed the direction of his finger. In the middle of the vast fire scene was a vacuum area in the flames, with a few people standing there.
"Aren’t those our firefighters?"
The fire chief was slightly taken aback, recognizing his soldiers at a glance.
It must be said, this fire chief was indeed someone who loved his soldiers like his children. Identifying his subordinates was a basic requirement for a qualified leader.
"Why are they there? Are they trying to rescue those trapped people?"
The city secretary’s eyes were fixed on Lin Beichen and the others on the feed, the only visible group trapped in the fire.
If the fire’s spread could be controlled from outside and these people safely rescued from within, they could ensure zero casualties from this wildfire!
As for how much of the vegetation could be saved, that would be left to fate.
"So, how do we get out of here?"
The hunters didn’t expect that the firefighters, whom they thought had come to rescue them, were also trapped due to equipment exhaustion.
"So, you’re lost too?"
