Chapter 171

After Zhou Yang successfully landed in the open space on the other side, he hurriedly took a few deep breaths. His face was stained with soot, but Zhou Yang did not have the luxury to worry about that. He looked back and realized the fire was growing increasingly intense. If the blaze truly got out of control, the rate at which it could spread would be unimaginable. Although Zhou Yang had never experienced a forest fire firsthand, he had learned about such incidents. If he did not hurry to escape, he could very well lose his life here. Zhou Yang ran forward rapidly. Before long, he came upon a deep trench. While called a deep trench, it actually served as an excellent firebreak; if the flames reached it, they would find it very difficult to cross. Zhou Yang scrambled down and climbed back up to the other side with both hands and feet. The environment here had changed slightly, though it remained largely forest terrain. Zhou Yang scanned his surroundings and was surprised to find many animal tracks and droppings. Knowing that this area might be inhabited by wildlife, Zhou Yang did not linger, continuing to push forward. He opened the system map to confirm his position and marked a clearing on it.
