Chapter 1319: Chapter 1319: Escaping from the Sea of Flames

Dozens of mosquitoes didn’t take Gu Fan seriously at the beginning, swarming him, and biting him all over.

However, Gu Fan had Vajra Body Protection; dozens of mosquitoes’ sucking mouthparts couldn’t pierce his skin. Instead, Gu Fan punched several of them down and pinched several to death.

Just as everyone thought Gu Fan could rely on his own strength to hold fort, more mosquitoes rushed over and launched a new round of attack toward Gu Fan.

Although Gu Fan was impervious to swords and spears, not fearing these mosquitoes, he was also terribly annoyed by the harassment. Flailing his fists wildly, he managed to drive the mosquitoes back for a moment, not even having time to catch his breath, before he was besieged again.

Sometimes, Gu Fan felt the mosquitoes buzzing in his ears, causing him to respond in a fluster.

The others dared not approach, only hiding aside, which made Irina curse loudly, "You’re so afraid of death and have no sense of loyalty. What kind of mercenaries are you?" After that, Irina picked up her gun, aimed at Gu Fan, and then shouted, "You’re not afraid of bullets, right? I’m going to shoot."

At this moment, Gu Fan’s ears were filled with a buzzing sound, and he was so disturbed by the multitude of mosquitoes that he couldn’t hear what Irina was yelling.

With a bang, bang, bang, Irina fired three shots, and three bullets whizzed past Gu Fan but did not hit a single mosquito.

Seeing this, everyone followed suit, but Gu Fan was moving too vigorously, back and forth, as the mosquitoes flew all around, really making it hard to aim.

At this critical moment, tongues of flame lit up in the darkness, followed by continuous gunshots, gripping everyone’s nerves.

One mosquito was taken down by a bullet, followed by another, and as the gunshots continued, mosquitoes were taken down one after another, quickly relieving Gu Fan’s burden.

The flames in the darkness moved closer, with the shooter advancing and shooting. Every time she pulled the trigger, a mosquito was hit; after a dozen shots, the mosquitoes surrounding them were nearly wiped out by her.

Among those who knew her, only Su Hui had such precise shooting skills. Irina held her breath, focusing on the graceful figure emerging from the darkness, and indeed, it was Su Hui.

"I’m saving some bullets, you finish the rest," Su Hui said, lowering her gun, and Gu Fan, with reduced pressure, immediately swung his fists and smashed several mosquitoes into the wall, turning them into a mush.

After finishing, Gu Fan adjusted himself and then wore a pleased smile, "It’s Sister Su, long time no see. You arrived just in time."

"Alright, let’s stop talking and hurry on," Su Hui said, and then led the way, with everyone following her to the narrow safety exit.

At this time, there was another problem: everyone wanted to follow Su Hui, rather than staying to help Lin Xi maintain the Protective Barrier. The dense swarm of mosquitoes perched on the Protective Barrier, ready to break through at any moment.

Gu Fan saw the sweat on Lin Xi’s forehead, knowing that her supernatural power was almost exhausted, and this was no way to continue.

The situation got even worse as everyone quickly arrived at a crossroads, meaning Lin Xi couldn’t retreat anymore. If she shrank the Protective Barrier to the middle of the crossroad, there would be gaps on both sides. If a large number of mosquitoes poured through these gaps, the consequences would be unbearable.

Just then, someone discovered a room and thought to hide inside. Pushing open the door, they were met with a pungent smell of gasoline, and upon closer inspection, the room was filled with barrels upon barrels of gasoline.

Gu Fan furrowed his brows, and after some thought, he decided to take the risk and shouted, "Pour all the gasoline around here, let’s set this place ablaze."

Hearing this, some people immediately protested, "Gu Fan, have you lost your mind? If it starts burning, we might be finished too."

"What’s the difference? We’re a long distance away from the safety passage, and now we’re surrounded by these mosquitoes. Can we escape without starting a fire?" Gu Fan’s words carried the momentum of a desperate gamble, and they instantly ignited everyone’s courage to risk it all.

"What are you waiting for, move the gasoline quickly." Under Su Hui’s command, everyone sprang into action, hauling out cans of gasoline one by one, then pouring them on the ground and splashing them on the walls.

"Move faster, everyone." Gu Fan was getting anxious as he saw Lin Xi struggling.

Everyone hurried, retreating while scattering gasoline, trying to bring out as much as possible, and all of this took time.

After spraying about ten meters of gasoline, once things were more or less ready, Gu Fan immediately instructed everyone to retreat further from the Protective Barrier.

"Hurry up, I can hardly hold on." As more and more people retreated, Lin Xi found it hard to cope alone, with the pressure of the attacking mosquitoes almost entirely bearing down on her.

"Lin Xi, let go!" As Gu Fan shouted, Su Hui fired a shot at the ground, and the sparks from the bullet instantly set the gasoline aflame, engulfing the surroundings in fire.

At the same time, Lin Xi let go, applying the Protective Barrier onto herself like a layer of armor.

With no Protective Barrier to hinder them, thousands upon thousands of swarming mosquitoes surged over, swallowing Lin Xi in an instant, while the sea of flames also swept in.

The black tide of countless mosquitoes hit the fiercely burning sea of flames, instantly scorching and killing untold numbers; the black flow was halted, unable to fly over.

They saw some mosquitoes ablaze, flying around chaotically in the air in apparent agony and disarray, finally dropping down powerlessly and being completely consumed by the flames.

However, the black tide persisted relentlessly forward, the outermost mosquitoes bearing the brunt of the scorching ordeal of the flames, wave after wave perishing in the inferno.

The mosquitoes, as if gone mad, were fearlessly sacrificial; as one wave fell, another took its place, valiantly using their bodies to stem the ravages of the flames, protecting their innermost comrades, and bit by bit, they pushed forward through the ten meters of fire.

Gradually, some of the burning mosquitoes still managed to break through the flames, reaching the front of Gu Fan and the others, only to crash down before them, utterly exhausted.

One, two, three, more and more mosquitoes flew through the ten-meter fire, initially not posing much of a threat to Gu Fan and his group, easily handled with a few shots and punches.

As time went on, with the self-sacrificing protection of their comrades, when the number of mosquitoes flying over the fire became nearly uncountable, Gu Fan and his team realized they had underestimated these mosquitoes, so they hurriedly continued to pour gasoline, ready to create a second sea of flames ten meters long.

"Lin Xi, Lin Xi, are you alright? Answer me!" Gu Fan was very anxious, calling out three times, but with no response, his heart sank.
