Lu Ban discovered that with the illumination and heating of the fire, the words in the blood gradually disappeared and turned into ordinary blood.

It should be true that the plague is afraid of sunlight and high temperatures.

"Frost brings low temperature, and eternal night brings darkness. These two are exactly what the plague needs. At the same time, the plague will thin the guards of Black Castle, causing more non-combat attrition, and making the resistance of eternal night and frost more difficult."

Lu Ban looked at the fire and murmured to himself.

"The three Demon Tide have formed some kind of subtle mutual cooperation relationship. Why didn't they do this before?"

According to Jonah, Demon Tide and Black Forest began to invade humans thousands of years ago, at least once a year. So during such a long time, have these Demon Tide never thought of joining forces?

"Is this due to increased pollution, or is there another reason?"

Relevant to the world where he is, weird things are gradually recovering, so it is reasonable for Night Country to appear abnormal.

At this time, Lu Ban heard a noise coming from outside.

He stood up and looked out over the fortress.

Rangers are holding long bows and lighting arrows.

Under the command, hundreds of archers fired rockets towards the depths of Black Forest.

Arrows like meteors fell one after another, and after a while, flames were seen deep in the forest.

Round after round, a blazing fire soon broke out in Black Forest to the west. The flames formed a wall of fire and spread forward and backward.

"What are you doing?"

Lu Ban asked Birmingham under the sentry tower.

"You're okay. Black Forest is being burned. The monsters in Demon Tide will be hiding in the forest, so the trees in Black Forest must be burned."

Birmingham saw that Lu Ban was fine, and immediately felt relieved, he explained.

"Because the trees in Black Forest grow very fast and can grow back from their original remains in just one day, so we usually start burning the trees around the fortress one to half a day in advance."

"Oh!"

Lu Ban responded.

Thinking back to the earth, in order to protect forests, people promoted various propaganda and restricted industrial development, and even invited little girls who had not finished school to be environmental ambassadors. As a result, Night Country, humans are trying to destroy forests in various ways. If the environmental ambassadors see it, they will probably cry.

"It's a pity that we don't have the tools on Earth here. Otherwise, not to mention the forests in this area, I'm afraid even the entire Black Forest wouldn't be able to support the amount of logging that humans do in a year."

When Lu Ban was a student, he read an article about tropical rainforest protection in a textbook. It said that millions of hectares of rainforest were destroyed every minute. He pressed the calculator and found that at this rate, the rainforest would be gone in a few months. Lu Ban, who loves environmental protection, immediately asked the teacher this question.

But at that time, the teacher ignored him and did not answer this question. Lu Ban felt that the teacher must not support environmental protection, otherwise he would not turn a blind eye to this issue.

So, Lu Ban wrote to the people on the textbook editorial committee to explain this issue. Not long after, the textbook was revised and that text was deleted from the textbook!

Lu Ban feels that there are too many people in this world who don't pay attention to protecting the environment!

"If we can freely travel to foreign lands, we can transport Black Forest's wood to foreign lands that need it more, or let these forests grow in barren deserts like the wasteland. Maybe one day, the wasteland desert can also be lush with green."

Thinking of this, Lu Ban suddenly felt a surge of energy.

"The rapid growth of these forests should also be the result of pollution. If these polluted trees can be collected and preserved, then next time we go to the wasteland, we should be able to plant trees."

"It only takes one day to grow from the burned remains. If these things are applied to food, can it also achieve a yield of 10,000 kilograms per acre?"

"No, we have to find a way to introduce it."

Lu Ban The farming instinct engraved in his DNA made him excited.

"?"

Birmingham looked at Lu Ban, who was full of expectations for no reason, and was puzzled.

The fire continues.

Until dawn, the fire had covered most of the Black Forest visible to the naked eye.

Lu Ban ended his shift and did not feel sleepy, but came to the border of the fortress.

The trees surrounding the fort were not burned, mainly because if they were burned here too, the fort might be affected.

This also gave Lu Ban the opportunity to draw materials.

He took off the leaves and branches of the thick tree and kept them properly, preparing to find an opportunity to study them carefully.

Suddenly, Lu Ban saw something flashing deep in the forest.

"Ordinary monsters would just run away at this time."

The voice of Jonah came, and Lu Ban turned his head and saw the mage in heavy armor behind the fortifications.

"The reason why two Demon Tide will not appear at the same time is because these monsters repel each other. They are created by different gods and are naturally hostile."

After hearing Jonah's words, Lu Ban carefully returned to the fortifications.

"The inspection of Rangers is over. No more people infected by the plague were found. Perhaps the plague was transmitted from birds."

Jonah glanced at the sky. Among the black clouds caused by the flames, there were some strange-looking birds fleeing.

"The observation results of the Gray Tower have returned, and the frost is indeed among the Demon Tide this time."

His tone was relaxed, as if he was discussing today's breakfast. Perhaps it was because the superposition of three Demon Tides at the same time was completely beyond his imagination. Because it was so outrageous, he no longer had any intuitive fear.

"What are you doing collecting these for?"

Jonah glanced at the leaves and branches in Lu Ban's hands.

"Prepare to study."

Lu Ban is blunt.

"It's useless. Gray Tower once tried to study Black Forest from a magical perspective and tried to find a way to contain Black Forest, but the final conclusion was that it was not just plants, animals, water and the earth that were polluted, but everything in this area."

Jonah smiled.

"Besides, you have no chance to study them. Theoretically speaking, we are all dead now."

Under the three Demon Tide attacks, it was impossible for Black Tower and the Gray Tower to organize an effective resistance in time. In the three-day Blood Moon, front lines like the Black Castle would only be completely destroyed by the tide of monsters. Along with the subsequent Black Pine Town, cities and civilians outside the forest would all be wiped out under the washout of Demon Tide.

"Wrong."

Lu Ban suddenly spoke.

"You want to say that we can persevere even if we work hard? No, you haven't experienced Demon Tide, you can't imagine that kind of despair."

"No, what I mean is that even if three Demon Tides don't attack at the same time, most of the people in this fortress will die."

Lu Ban corrected.

"That's right."

Jonah smiled self-deprecatingly.

"You're going to die anyway, so why don't you give me more support?"

Lu Ban put away the grass and trees and looked deep into Black Forest.

A wolf howled.
