Chapter 179 High Explosive Pine Cone

"Huh? This pine cone will explode?!"

Seeing this scene, Cang Nian was shocked, and then came to the pine cone on the ground and observed it carefully.

This observation was indeed different from the pine cone grenade that the pine tree used to fight the enemy before.

The original pine cone grenade was a fully mature, extremely dry pine cone with completely peeled off skin and all the leaves blooming.

And now this pine cone grenade that can explode and burn is a round pine cone that has not bloomed.

Moreover, its skin looks a little reflective, and you can feel the sticky and slippery oil attached when you touch it.

This is a pine cone completely wrapped in pine oil.

In addition, ordinary pine cones rich in pine oil cannot explode when touched.

This must be a new skill brought by the pine tree after the pine cone matures!

However, it may be because of this method that for the evolved plants, there is a sense of absurdity of playing with fire and getting burned.

In addition, the pine tree is either surrounded by dense forests or grasslands, which will burn at a touch, so it didn't even tell Cang Nian's family about this ability in the first place.

But now, when Cang Nian said that it was necessary to light a forest fire to kill the insect tide, it showed this method to make Cang Nian's plan more successful.

In fact, after living with Cang Nian's family for so long, Song Shu could already understand the meaning of Cang Nian's family's howling.

Before, Cang Nian asked the fisherman to express his ideas, which was a bit redundant.

Of course, Song Shu's current behavior is actually a self-protection move.

After all, Cang Nian's family is a highly mobile evolved animal. It is not impossible to really give up this territory and flee to other places.

As an evolved plant, and with a huge body, it can't run away like those herbal evolved plants.

Therefore, it is the evolved plant that is most afraid of the insect tide now.

Therefore, it no longer has any reservations and takes out this method to help Cang Nian kill the insect tide more easily.

"It looks like it will explode as long as it is thrown out.

But it didn't explode when it landed on the grass.

But it exploded when it landed on the stone.

So, the condition for the explosion should be a direct collision with a hard object with sufficient intensity.

In this way, if the friction is sufficient, the heat generated can ignite the pine oil on the surface of the pine cone and detonate the pine cone?"

And Cang Nian looked at the pine cones on the grass, and then looked at the pine cones that exploded by the river, and quickly analyzed the differences and summarized the methods of use.

"Ahhh~!"

So, after thinking it through, Cang Nian commanded the little sable and the pine tree to fill its storage space with this pine cone!

This thing came at the right time!

Compared to using a lighter, lighting a wooden stick, and igniting a forest fire bit by bit to kill the insect tide, this "high-explosive pine cone" is undoubtedly a more efficient choice!

After hearing Cang Nian's order, the little sable immediately became excited and squeaked.

The pine tree shook its needles, separating the "high-explosive pine cones" from itself and dropping them on the grass.

With the cushion of the grass, the "high-explosive pine cones" would not explode when they fell to the ground. They bounced twice on the grass and then lay quietly.

"Fuck! Will the collision of these pine cones explode?"

Seeing this, Cang Nian was shocked.

However, although the pine cones had been piled up and collided with each other many times, they still did not explode.

Seeing this, Cang Nian took out two with his claws and squeezed them together to rub them against each other.

In this way, he found that the uniform pine oil on the surface of the pine cones was slippery when they touched each other. Even if they collided violently, it would not cause instantaneous friction and high temperature, so there was no chain explosion.

"Then this is quite safe..."

Seeing this, Cang Nian breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at the little sable who was putting the pine cones into the storage space, Cang Nian felt more confident.

With such a fire weapon, his family's chances of igniting a forest fire and killing the insect tide were much greater!

…

Ah~!

Seeing the trees in the distance collapsing and being visibly engulfed by the black torrent, Tiger Brother was stunned.

It was the first time he had seen such a terrifying scene, even more terrifying than the mycelium incident!

At least, mycelium doesn’t eat plants, so it didn’t cause the collapse of giant trees.

And now, those little black bugs, although they look very weak, have such a huge number, and they have such a terrifying power when they unite!

Even Tiger Dad and Tiger Mom, seeing such a scene, looked solemn.

They had never seen such a scene before.

“Ah~!”

And Cang Nian yelled, asking everyone to follow him.

Now, it was almost dawn.

Tiger Dad and Tiger Mom were now senior second-level evolved creatures. In terms of speed, even though there was a huge gap with Cang Nian, their maximum speed exceeded 150 kilometers per hour, and they had no problem maintaining a speed of more than 50 kilometers for a long time.

And in just a while, the insect tide had advanced nearly 20 kilometers to the east, that is, upstream of the river.

At this speed, they can reach the pine tree in five days at most.

Cang Nian brought Tiger Dad and the others to the front of the insect tide to let them realize how terrible the enemy they are facing is.

Now, he will take Tiger Dad and the others back more than 100 kilometers away and start to implement the plan!

When the sun rose from the east, Cang Nian and his family arrived at a location 100 kilometers away from the pine tree.

Here, the front end of the insect tide is less than 130 kilometers away.

In fact, if the insect tide arrives here, it will take two and a half days.

However, once the fire is ignited, the speed of the fire spreads much faster than the speed of the insect tide. Cang Nian has a deep understanding of this.

Therefore, enough distance must be reserved to allow the line of wildfires to rush forward like a flood and drown the insect tide!

Otherwise, the wildfires and the insect tide will collide after just a few kilometers of burning, and they will find that there are other places to escape and survive.

"Ahhh~!"

Then, Cang Nian began to assign tasks.

The width of the entire front end of the insect tide is 25 kilometers.

In order for the wildfire to crush the insect tide, the required fire line width must be at least 30 kilometers.

Among them, the main force of ignition is Cang Nian himself and the little sable.

With his most mobile unit and the logistics of Little Sable's storage space filled with high-explosive pine cones, the efficiency of ignition is even more amazing than that of Tiger Dad, Tiger Mom, and Tiger Brother combined.

However, Tiger Dad and the others can't sit idle either. Only by working together can the fire be made bigger within a limited time!

So, Cang Nian used the river as the dividing line, and he and Little Sable would ignite the 15 kilometers in the north.

Tiger Dad and the others would ignite the 10 kilometers in the south!
