Chapter 2040: Zhu Rong and Xiangliu Join Forces to Extinguish the Fire!

After the three demon sages left Spirit Snake Island, the flames on the island still burned, showing no sign of dying down.

They three paid not the slightest attention to the fires continuously raging across Spirit Snake Island!

Xiangliu arrived at Spirit Snake Island at this very moment.

The moment he arrived, he used his ability to summon a great deal of rain; under the deluge, the flames on Spirit Snake Island began to show signs of weakening.

Yet Xiangliu's individual power was insufficient to extinguish the fires on Spirit Snake Island.

Zhu Rong glanced once, then sighed.

He was the God of Fire; when it came to water, only Gonggong was more familiar with it—he could not summon rain at all.

But Zhu Rong could reclaim these flames.

"I'll help you," Zhu Rong said.

Xiangliu did not look up; he merely nodded slightly, continuing to extinguish the fire, and this time the amount of rain he summoned diminished greatly.

With Zhu Rong continuously reclaiming the flames, thick smoke filled Spirit Snake Island, engulfing the entire island and making it look like a charred potato.

Zhu Rong was drenched in sweat, for the fire was simply too vast—he found it extremely difficult to reclaim even a fraction of it.

But now he could do nothing else.

Xiangliu was also utterly exhausted, and the rain he could summon had become severely limited.

"Stop trying," Zhu Rong said. "More than half of Spirit Snake Island is already reduced to ash. There's nothing more we can do—we must proceed slowly."

"Try once more!"

"Trying again won't work—we no longer have any malice left in the world."

Both Xiangliu and Zhu Rong must preserve some spiritual power, in case the demon clan suddenly appears; moreover, Xiangliu knew that the Nine-Headed Bird Guiche was surely hiding somewhere.

The Nine-Headed Bird Guiche, acting so madly, would likely prove extremely detrimental to them.

Of course, the matter of the Nine-Headed Bird Guiche now paled beside what they had previously witnessed—they did not know what fate awaited the Nine-Headed Bird Guiche.

Zhu Rong collapsed onto the ground.

It was his first time cooperating with Xiangliu, and yet their collaboration had been surprisingly smooth.
