However, he was not one to give up easily; so he wanted to give it a try.

"Retreat? How do we retreat? With what will we retreat?" An Qi asked curiously.

Once this group of highly venomous sea snakes launched an attack, they certainly wouldn't be able to outrun them; even with Lin Yifan's special abilities and incomparable strength, it would still be difficult to outrun these sea snakes in the rugged cave and the complex terrain, overgrown with weeds.

"If I really start running, I would move as swift as the wind; so there is no need to worry," Lin Yifan assured.

"But right now we are on Lonely Island. Unless we could truly fly, it would be a dead end," An Qi expressed her concerns.

Reminded by An Qi, Lin Yifan also realized this was a problem; with so many sea snakes, if they were to all go mad, it seemed like there would be no escape on this Lonely Island.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Yifan decided to use smoke as a way to deal with the group of sea snakes. Dense smoke contains sulfur dioxide gas, and snakes are afraid of sulfur and sulfur smoke; thus, it should be effective against this group of highly venomous sea snakes.

The only way to smoke all the sea snakes to death inside the cave was to start a fire at the cave opening and continuously fan smoke inside.

Lin Yifan knew how big the entrance of the underground cave was; thus, using a blazing fire to block the entire cave opening should not be a problem.

This was because the entrance of the underground cave was small, but it expanded inside.

With a plan in mind, Lin Yifan said to An Qi, "Let's go! We need to get out first!"

"Have you given up on the treasure?" An Qi asked, now somewhat pleased, as Lin Yifan had finally come to a realization.

However, what she didn't know was that Lin Yifan had not given up on the blue light at all.

"No, I just thought of a better way to deal with these sea snakes," Lin Yifan replied.

"What way?" An Qi asked curiously.

"Use thick smoke to smoke these sea snakes to death," Lin Yifan answered.

"Isn't that too cruel?" An Qi was somewhat reluctant, very unwilling to resort to such a brutal method.

"There are many cruel things in nature, survival of the fittest; and these sea snakes continue to nurture that blue light, which clearly isn't a good thing; so what I'm doing is also acting for the heavens," Lin Yifan responded with righteous indignation.

He felt that this group of highly venomous sea snakes were trained, cultivated specially by someone, a bred species of snake, and even if killed, it wouldn't pose a major threat to the ecological balance.

"Alright! If that's the case, then let's go out," An Qi relented, as now she had no choice but to follow Lin Yifan's lead.

"Thanks for your understanding, my dear," said Lin Yifan before hurrying away.

Once outside the cave, he first put An Qi down from his carry like a koala; then he gathered a large amount of dry branches and leaves from the surrounding jungle, piling them at the cave's entrance.

The entrance was only three meters wide and two meters high, so it could easily be blocked.

But he was still not reassured; therefore, he gathered an even larger quantity of dry branches and leaves, even dragging over large deadwood; he did this to prevent the thousands upon thousands of highly venomous sea snakes from swarming out. A small fire could only scare off a few dozen sea snakes, but a thick, blazing fire was necessary to control the tens of thousands of them. Moreover, to smoke to death tens of thousands of sea snakes, one definitely needed enough combustibles; hence, it was essential to collect a large amount of dry branches and leaves.

After about an hour, Lin Yifan finally amassed a small mountain of dry branches and leaves; he piled this small mountain beside the cave entrance as a reserve for burning.

When everything was ready, he took a torch from An Qi, prepared to start the fire.

At this moment, An Qi hesitated before she asked, "Yifan, do you really want to do this?"

"What do you think? Come on! Don't worry. If those sea snakes were normal, they definitely wouldn't do such bizarre things; they must have been specially bred. So listen to me, kill them all and rid the world of this menace," Lin Yifan persuaded.

After thinking it over, An Qi felt there was some truth to it. If they were regular sea snakes, why would they do such bizarre things? So she said, "Then you light it."

"OK!" Having said that, Lin Yifan immediately took a torch and started to ignite the pile of dry branches and leaves at the entrance of the cave.

"Boom!!"

As time passed, the fire grew fiercer and fiercer, continuously belching thick smoke.

Lin Yifan hurriedly fanned the entrance with a banana leaf, ceaselessly fanning and igniting, driving the thick smoke produced by the burning into the Snake Cave.

On the other side, An Qi kept adding fuel to keep the fierce fire burning intensely.

It wasn't long after the fire started that there was a commotion from inside the Snake Cave. Countless venomous sea snakes were rushing toward the cave entrance nonstop.

However, the entrance was already blocked by the blazing fire, and they recoiled.

After hesitating and pacing for a moment, some took the lead and charged, rushing towards the roaring flames.

Now, they were in a desperate situation, cornered into a fight for survival. Remaining in the cave would mean being smoked to death, but a desperate attempt might offer a slim chance for life.

One led the charge, and everyone followed. That was the situation with this group of sea snakes at this time.

They let out furious roars and then charged toward the roaring fire at the cave entrance, like moths to a flame.

"Shhh!!!"

Lin Yifan, who was fanning the fire in front of him, suddenly heard a bloodcurdling raspy sound from within the Snake Cave, followed by the noise of something striking from within the fire.

At that moment, with his scalp tingling, sensing that something was very wrong, he intensified his efforts to fan and kindle the flames, then shouted loudly, "Darling! Quickly add more dry branches and leaves, don't put in the bigger logs!"

He knew that the venomous sea snakes inside Snake Cave were about to make a desperate charge, so they needed to strengthen and intensify the flames.

Dry branches and leaves were easier to ignite and more likely to produce a bigger fire, which was the preferred choice at that moment, while larger logs would have to wait until after the event was handled.

"Okay!" An Qi also realized the gravity of the situation and immediately started to bring handfuls of dry branches and leaves, tossing them into the roaring fire at the entrance of the cave to burn.

On the other side, within the Snake Cave, the leading sea snakes had not reached the entrance before being burnt to death by the fierce flames; others that followed either rushed into the fire pile or were burnt alive right at the entrance.

Not a single one of these waves of sea snakes managed to break through the roaring fire; they were all burned or suffocated to death.

However, this was only the fourth wave, with more sea snakes continuing to come; among them were some large sea snakes.

The large sea snakes, each with a girth greater than a five-centimeter radius wooden stake, possessed formidable strength; their impact force was considerable, and they might be able to break through the fiery barrier at the cave entrance and escape.

Outside the cave entrance, after the sound of the impacts had subsided, Lin Yifan immediately put down the banana leaf and carried large logs from the prepared "mountain" of combustible material, throwing them into the fire to burn.
