Post-apocalyptic game: I survive at sea by scavenging for trash.

Eight peanuts were distributed to each person, and Lin Zhaoyin didn't care when her younger sister ate them; the children had their own plans and arrangements.

However, Zhou Shiyun definitely needs to eat it right away, since her attributes aren't high, and the sooner she increases them, the better. Besides, it doesn't matter what changes occur in the stats of players who aren't on the leaderboard.

Lin Zhaoyin planned to eat one a day, trying her best to ensure that her total score wouldn't exceed that of Qin Feng, who was in first place. However, Qin Feng's level was rising very quickly, and he was already far ahead of the other players, having reached level 12.

Since entering the second stage, Lin Zhaoyin has been constantly encountering player islands, while people with high luck like Qin Feng and his sister have been encountering level 1 unclaimed resource islands.

The younger sister is the type to avoid fighting if possible, but Qin Feng seized the opportunity to level up, and after a few times, he completely widened the level gap with other players.

Lin Zhaoyin felt like a cultivator in a fantasy novel who improves his cultivation by taking pills, while Qin Feng was like a cultivation scroll king, whose every attribute point was earned through real combat.

Your shelter is on fire. Please extinguish the fire as soon as possible.

Lin Zhaoyin's thoughts were interrupted. How could the house suddenly catch fire when everything was perfectly fine?

The two rushed outside and discovered several small flames inexplicably outside the shelter. The shelter was made of stone; how could it be on fire?

Ignoring the odds, they rushed to the beach to fetch water and put out the fire on the house.

But strangely, as soon as the fire goes out here, it starts burning again there, and it seems like all the fires can never be extinguished.

This is very strange; there must be something else going on here.

Instead of blindly trying to put out the fire, it would be better to find out the cause first. Lin Zhaoyin put down the bucket of water for extinguishing the fire and went inside to rummage through the trash.

Finding a piece of broken wood, Lin Zhaoyin placed it near the burning wall. After a while, she pulled the wood back and discovered that although it had caught fire, it wasn't actually burning.

Wood is flammable and combustible; if it were to catch fire, it should quickly burn. However, the piece of wood I used for the experiment only showed signs of fire, without any trace of burning.

"This isn't real fire!" Lin Zhaoyin thought for a moment, and was basically certain. "It's a monster!"

This shape looks familiar; it should be a monster similar to a water sprite, or, given today's weather, a fire sprite.

But how do you fight them? These kinds of monsters that you can't touch are the most difficult to deal with!

Regardless of whether it's useful or not, let's take out all the usable weapons and skills and try them out first.

The first thing she tried was the Ice Soul Needle; Lin Zhaoyin directly aimed it at the flames on the wood in her hand.

The flames seemed to diminish slightly the instant the Ice Soul Needle was fired.

Lin Zhaoyin blinked, unsure if it was just her imagination. So she fired another Ice Soul Needle at the flame, and sure enough, the flame shrank a little more.

Zhou Shiyun was also trying to attack the flames, and almost simultaneously discovered that ice-based weapons were effective against them.

So the two hit it off immediately and began to divide the work, with each person responsible for a portion of the flames.

These flames aren't completely stationary; after being hit a few times, they'll run away, sometimes even merging with other flames.

The number of flames began to decrease, but the flames that survived grew larger and larger.

It wasn't until one of the flames escaped and merged with the larger flame that the monster's true form was finally revealed.

The Flame Sprite's weakness is water-type attacks, but unfortunately, both Lin Zhaoyin and Zhou Shiyun use ice-type weapons. Lin Zhaoyin's Ice Soul Needle doesn't even have the freezing effect of ordinary ice-type attacks.

After fighting for so long, the Flame Sprite is still at full health. It seems that attacking the main body is the only way to make a difference.

Lin Zhaoyin tried to continue attacking the Flame Spirit's main body with the Ice Soul Needle, but found that attacks that were effective against fire were ineffective against the main body.

"Xiao Shi!" Lin Zhaoyin decisively decided to try someone else. Different weapons might produce different results.

"Try shooting it with your Ice Crack Crossbow!"

Zhou Shiyun was a little confused at first, but she immediately followed Lin Zhaoyin's instructions.

"Hit!" Zhou Shiyun couldn't see the monster's health bar, so she had to wait for Lin Zhaoyin to give her feedback.

Lin Zhaoyin had been watching closely, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that the health bar had moved. "Okay, the crossbow attack was effective!"

Zhou Shiyun's eyes lit up when she heard the result; she could finally be a key member of the fighting force!

However, Zhou Shiyun's Ice Crack Crossbow has a limited attack frequency, with a firing interval of 10 seconds, so you have to be careful when shooting and try not to miss.

The Flame Sprite could also use fire attacks, so Lin Zhaoyin simply stood by and defended Zhou Shiyun. In addition to blocking a Sea Shield in front of her, Lin Zhaoyin also tried to use her skills to attack.

Surprisingly, Lin Zhaoyin's wind blades were ineffective against water spirits, but were effective against fire spirits. It seems that different elemental spirits require completely different fighting styles.

The Wind Blade can deal 1.5 times the damage, but Lin Zhaoyin didn't use it frequently, only releasing the skill during the gaps in Zhou Shiyun's attacks.

There are still a few more Flame Sprites behind us, so we need to be careful with our skills.

Lin Zhaoyin has always used this frugal playstyle, saving her stamina whenever possible by relying on basic attacks.

While they saved their energy, their stamina was depleted. Having been out for so long, they were already showing signs of heatstroke.

However, considering that Zhou Shiyun is the main attacker now, Lin Zhaoyin still plans to fight them one by one after defeating the Flame Spirits, which would be safer.

With such a stingy and cautious fighting style, it took the two a long time to finally defeat all the fire spirits.

I spent a lot of physical and mental effort, and in the end, all I got were these things. Fire Spirits aren't a resource that can be used directly, and I don't know when I'll ever be able to use them.

After the battle, the two hurriedly returned to the shelter, quickly grabbed some water to wipe themselves down, and removed the heatstroke debuff.

These fire sprites will definitely appear again in the next few days. It won't do if we have to struggle to defeat them every time. Lin Zhaoyin scrolled through the chat history to see if anyone had discussed attack methods.

Water or ice attacks are definitely useful, but Lin Zhaoyin mainly wanted to see if anyone had discovered any unconventional methods.

I browsed the chat channels and sure enough, she found it.

[Hahaha, family members, who would believe this! My weapons and skills can't directly attack that wretched fire sprite, but I have a fire extinguisher!]

Fire extinguishers cannot directly attack, but they can turn fire sprites into physical entities!
