Chapitre 79: Chapter 79:Forest Fire
Yang Zhai pulled the long knife out of Chin Mae's head and stored it in the Bloody-Storage Ka. After that, he stored the emblem in his robe's pocket. Then, he placed the bodies of Chin Mae and the boy differently, about two to three meters away from each other.
After that, he began to collect a lot of wood and dried leaves. He placed them on the bodies of Chin Mae and the boy that he had killed. He completely covered their bodies with leaves and pieces of wood. Then he collected and stored a lot of wood and dried leaves in the Bloody Storage Ka.
After he collected a lot of these in the Bloody Storage Ka, he came back to the place where the dead bodies were placed.
Thereafter, he activated the Bloody Storage Ka and spread all the dried leaves and the wood that he collected in the surroundings of the dead bodies. Almost all of the area surrounding the bodies was filled with wood and leaves. So much so that they could be seen around the trees as well.
Right now, what Yang Zhai was trying to do was to start a forest fire. This way, Yang Zhai could hide the fact that his teammates were killed by himself. And of course, if he had left the bodies, then he would have to answer. He would have to tell the clan the location of the dead bodies if he created another excuse.
But after he starts a forest fire and burns the bodies of Chin Mae and the boy, then there would be no bodies left to investigate. In this way, he simply had to say that they died in the fire.
And he had to make sure that the forest fire spreads quickly so that there was no time left to salvage the dead bodies. After all, he also had to make sure that he could say that the fire spread so quickly that Chin Mae and the boy had no chance to protect themselves. But this was not all, he also had to do something else.
It took Yang Zhai a few hours to do everything.
After everything was set, he did not start the fire immediately. He created a narrow passage for himself between all of the wood and the leaves that were placed everywhere. He connected this passage with the dead bodies and his escape route.
After all this, Yang Zhai went to the boy's body. Because the body was covered in leaves and wood, he could not see the boy's body. It did not matter to him anyway.
Yang Zhai pushed his left arm toward the boy's dead body from between the leaves. After his hand touched the body, Yang Zhai activated a rank 1 fire path technique that was the weakest of the Rank 1 techniques. He activated the weakest fire path technique because he wanted to reduce the traces that a technique was used to create the fire, and he also wanted to leave a few seconds for himself to run.
But this technique was enough, as right now, even a spark could start the forest fire.
Yang Zhai hurriedly retreated his arm and ran toward Chin Mae's body.
There were two reasons for him to place the bodies of the boy and Chin Mae away from each other: First was that when this forest fire is investigated and somehow some parts of the dead bodies are not burned and are found by the clan, they would at least know that the boy and Chin Mae tried to save themselves and ran here and there; therefore, their bodies were away from each other. The second was that Yang Zhai wanted to allow himself some time to burn both of the bodies himself to be sure.
Right after, Yang Zhai retrieved his arm, a fire started and began to spread quickly. If Yang Zhai had placed both of the bodies together, he would not have had the chance to touch the other body and burn both of the bodies with his own hand. After all, it did not even take a second for the leaves to catch fire.
Yang Zhai hurriedly ran to Chin Mae's body and touched it as well and activated a fire path technique to start the fire. After doing this, Yang Zhai ran away from this place from the passage that he had created.
Yang Zhai kept on running and stopped far away from the fire. He looked back and saw the fire was already increasing at a fast speed.
After a while, the fire had already increased and covered the whole place. And then a few minutes later, the fire was already growing toward the forest. A forest fire was about to start, and this was just the beginning of a great fire.
Yang Zhai kept on watching as the fire kept on increasing and was growing tremendously. When he saw that the forest fires had started, he took out the emblem.
Yang Zhai activated a water path technique. And dropped only a small amount of water on himself. And he burned the emblem only a little bit. He did not completely burn the emblem, just a little bit to show that it was also caught on fire.
Yang Zhai then looked at his hands casually. After a while, a smile appeared on his face. It was unknown what he was thinking, but a calmness could be seen on his face and in his smile.
"This world, this life, this body
I look at the captive, in these prisons
My heart was lost once, to be never
found again. Time waits for no one,
Fear sees no face, the chaos is random
Do I make my decisions? Or am I forced?"
After reciting, Yang Zhai activated a rank 1 fire technique and placed his left hand in front of his own face. Then he activated the technique and fire came at his face, so fiercely that his face was unrecognizable only after a few seconds. But Yang Zhai was careful to not cause any fatal injury.
Then he directed the fire toward his arms and hands. He kept the fire until his whole body had burn marks on it. Now, his body was covered in burn marks, his clothes also looked like they were burned.
Then Yang Zhai started to run at a pace that a normal kid possessed towards the camp outside the village. He also began to scream with all the might he had. He then activated a Rank 1 water path technique and made himself fully wet. And his strength was also strong; therefore, he could run even with these injuries.
Before burning himself, he had only dropped a small amount of water on himself so that the fire could affect him and also to be cautious. It could protect him and control the fire from spreading to his entire body.
But after he burned his face and his body, he activated the water technique to make himself fully wet. Of course, the pain was too much.
The fire itself was too painful. He did not stop at that, he even threw water on himself, making it even more hurtful. According to the earth's concept, throwing the water over himself after burning himself will result in severe burns and stinging pain, and it may also result in infection. But to Yang Zhai, he could endure this much pain. For achieving his purposes, he did not even hesitate to use himself.
If someone apart from Yang Zhai had done this, they would have already gone into trauma. Or, they might even have died from the excruciating pain. But Yang Zhai's will was strong. He had the will to endure all of this.
It was worth mentioning that Yang Zhai protected the part of his left palm that was the Bloody Storage Ka from burning. After all, he could not burn the bloody storage Ka. Otherwise, it would be too big of a loss to him.
