The forest fire grew stronger, turning into a wall of raging inferno over ten meters tall which burnt steadily up the mountain. A crazy din created by innumerable birds and beasts could be heard from the mountain, sounding exceptionally bone-chilling. Countless birds could be seen fleeing into the sky, disappearing into the distance.
Some of the birds were so startled that they flew directly into the fire. Most of the beasts incapable of flight were also dashing madly towards the center of the mountain.
The multitude of experts surrounding the mountain showed no feelings on their faces. It was just some birds and beasts after all. For the sake of the Purple Gold Ginseng, they would not feel anything wrong with burning ten more Peach Mountains!
The fire raged on for three days and three nights, turning the sky dark with smoke. An eerie red glow illuminated the land.
