The ancestor is here, she is here with space

Chapter 233: Sudden Wind Change

At the same time, outside the valley, the second prince was leading his men to set fire to the forest.

"Your Highness, the fire is so big, what if we still can't force those people out?" A guard looked at the blazing fire and couldn't help but ask worriedly.

"If you can't force them out, just keep burning. I don't believe they can hide in there forever!" The second prince said gritting his teeth, his face full of sinisterness.

In order to find the treasure and other people from the previous dynasty, he mobilized a large number of troops and materials, and even personally supervised the battle. It can be said that he spent a lot of money.

If he fails in the end, he will become a huge joke.

So he had to get the treasures no matter what, and catch those thieves in one fell swoop!

"But Your Highness, if we burn them to death, won't the clue to the treasure be lost?" the guard said hesitantly.

"Don't worry, I know what to do." The second prince waved his hand. "If those people really want to live, they will definitely come out of the valley. Then we can seize the opportunity to catch them."

"As for those treasures... hehe, as long as we capture these people, I have plenty of ways to make them talk!"

When he said this, a cruel smile appeared on the second prince's face.

He seemed to have seen the dawn of victory beckoning him.

However, at this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly broke the moment of silence.

"Your Highness, something bad has happened! Something terrible has happened!" A spy stumbled over and said, "Your Highness, the wind has suddenly changed..."

The second prince's face instantly turned pale. He turned around abruptly and looked at the spy with a sharp gaze: "What did you say? A sudden change in the wind?"

The spy knelt on the ground, panting rapidly, his voice trembling: "Yes... yes, Your Highness, a southeast wind suddenly blew, and the fire is approaching us quickly. If it continues like this, I'm afraid even we..."

When the second prince heard this, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by rationality.

He knew very well that if he continued to let the fire burn, not only would he fail to achieve his goal, but he might also put himself in danger.

He quickly gave the order: "Pass it down, everyone immediately retreat to a safe area, and at the same time send a team of people to cover their mouths and noses with wet cloths and cut down trees to create a buffer zone to stop the fire from spreading!"

As soon as the order was given, the originally chaotic scene gradually became orderly. The soldiers acted quickly, some were busy retreating, and some were struggling with the fire demon, hoping to gain a glimmer of hope in this raging disaster.

Inside the valley, although Lin Congyun and others had retreated to the depths, under the light of the fire, everyone's face was filled with solemnity.

Fang Xinlei clenched his fists, his eyes gleaming with determination: "Grandma, let me take people to stop them!"

Lin Congyun was silent for a moment, then slowly shook his head: "Don't act impulsively. We are not superior in numbers and force. A rash attack will only increase casualties."

"Are we just going to sit here and wait for death?" Fang Xinlei's voice was filled with reluctance.

"It's certainly not our style to sit back and wait for death." Lin Congyun's eyes suddenly became sharp, "But we need to outsmart them, not act recklessly."

"Grandma, look!" Fang Xinfeng pointed outside the valley.

Several people looked in that direction and saw that the raging fire outside the valley seemed to have changed direction and began to slowly deviate from its original path, no longer heading straight into the depths of the valley.

"God is helping me!" Lin Congyun's eyes flashed with surprise. She looked up at the sky and saw dark clouds gradually gathering, as if a rain was about to fall. "It seems that even God doesn't want us to be trapped by this unprovoked fire."

Fang Xinlei's tense expression relaxed a little after hearing this.

With the unexpected change in wind direction, the tension in the valley gradually eased.

Outside the valley, the Second Prince's expression looked extremely complicated in the interweaving of firelight and shadow. Sweat and dust were intertwined on his forehead. His former majesty was now replaced by an indescribable sense of frustration.

He stood on a high place, looking at the raging flames that he thought could control everything. But now, like a giant beast out of control, driven by the southeast wind, it suddenly changed direction and rushed towards their carefully arranged defense line.

"Quick! Widen the isolation zone quickly, don't let the fire get closer!" The second prince's voice sounded a little hoarse due to anxiety. He waved the whip in his hand, trying to command the soldiers in chaos to speed up.

But the fire was so fierce that it was beyond imagination. Even covering their mouths with wet cloth could not completely block the heat and pungent smell of smoke. The soldiers' faces were filled with fear and exhaustion.

A strong wind blew past, blowing up ashes all over the ground. The Second Prince's robes were blown up by the wind, as if even the forces of nature were mocking his incompetence.

He widened his eyes, staring at the approaching flames, and an unprecedented feeling of powerlessness surged in his heart.

"Your Highness, what...what should we do?" the guards around him asked in trembling voices, their eyes full of fear of the unknown.

The second prince did not answer, but clenched his fists and scanned the surroundings with sharp eyes, looking for any possible turning point.

At this moment, a dull thunder suddenly sounded in the sky, and then, raindrops as big as beans began to fall sparsely, wetting the dry ground and temporarily alleviating the spread of the fire.

The rain gradually got heavier, like nectar poured down from heaven. It not only put out the raging flames, but also seemed to extinguish the anger in the second prince's heart.

The sound of raindrops hitting the branches blended with the rapid breathing of the soldiers in the distance.

The second prince looked at all this, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

"Pass the order down, everyone rest here and continue searching after the rain stops." His voice was tired but still firm.

He knew that although the rain temporarily eased the crisis, there was still a lot to do.

Inside the valley, Lin Congyun and others also felt the sudden rain. They smiled at each other, with both relief and relief in their eyes.

The rain wet the clothes but washed away the tension. However, a faint smell of burning permeated the air, reminding people of the thrilling experience they had just experienced.

For the next two days, the forest was very quiet. The second prince did not launch any more attacks, as if he had disappeared.

But Lin Congyun did not let her guard down, for she knew that the Second Prince would never give up.

"Grandmother, what do you think the second prince has been doing these two days? Why hasn't he attacked?" Fang Xinlei stood beside Lin Congyun, brows furrowed, obviously puzzled by the enemy's silence.
