In the sea of boiling magma, the abyssal hurricane is still raging. At this time, time has passed unknowingly to January of 903 in the Black Iron Calendar...
Since the team of human knights who explored the ruins of the temple left two years ago, this place has once again become a no-man's land for two full years. Every year, except for a certain time when there are traces of people here, most of the rest of the time, Even those who happened to be here could not find anyone.
An iron-skinned salamander that lives in the underground world emerged from a dark cave, carefully searching for food that would allow it to survive. Finally, after the iron-skinned newt groped in the darkness for nearly an hour, Relying on its unique perception of the smell of food, this iron-skinned salamander discovered some rare delicacies near the sea of magma.
Those delicacies are things like dried meat and melons that have been thoroughly dried. Next to these things, there is a wine bottle. The wine in the bottle has dried, but those dried things that ordinary people can no longer swallow Things like dried meat and water melon are still acceptable to the iron-skinned salamander.
Creatures in the underground world all have the ability to survive on their own. Powerful creatures can use their claws and claws to capture enough prey, while weak creatures will develop more and more complex food chains and corresponding digestive abilities. The iron-skinned salamander is undoubtedly He is one of the latter.
The dried meat, which was already as hard as a stone, was swallowed whole by the Iron-skinned Salamander, and then entered the Iron-skinned Salamander's stomach chamber full of gastric acid. The Iron-skinned Salamander's stomach acid has super corrosive and decomposing properties. In the Iron-skinned Salamander, Soaked in the acid of the salamander's stomach, the dried meat begins to decompose into nutrients and energy that the salamander needs that cannot be decomposed by stones.
The iron-skinned newt is eating while also raising its head. Its two eyes stare at the surroundings vigilantly and intelligently. If there is any disturbance, it will slip into the nearest shadow composed of rocks and mountain walls as quickly as possible.
In Iron Skin Salamander's impression, the sea of magma in front of him and the abyssal hurricane on the sea of magma are barriers that are difficult for all creatures to cross. What it needs to pay attention to is just the other side of the abyss hurricane and the magma sea.
It was precisely because of this idea that when a combat boot stepped out of the sea of magma and walked step by step towards the seaside, the iron-skinned salamander's reaction was a beat slower. When it saw the man walking out of the sea of magma, the iron-skinned salamander was so frightened that it jumped up like a frightened cat, its entire torso bounced like a bow, and then it ran away in a mess. In the shadow of the rock crevice.
Perhaps, when this salamander escaped. Its mind, which does not have many brain cells, is still thinking about this question - what kind of creature can live in the boiling sea of magma. Such a creature, without asking, must be an extremely dangerous existence...
Zhang Tie saw the iron-skinned salamander escaping in a hurry.
This is an underground creature that looks a bit like a four-legged snake and a bit like a giant salamander. The skin of this creature is highly poisonous.
Zhang Tie naturally had no time to pay attention to such a little thing from the underground world.
When walking up from the sea of magma. Zhang Tie has already received the shield hidden in silver into his personal space equipment.
It is somewhat miraculous that after searching the Mountain of Hidden Soldiers in the past two years, Zhang Tie actually found a shield in the Mountain of Hidden Soldiers that was the same as the shield he captured from the Demon Commander. Both shields were made of silver secrets, the size and style were exactly the same, and there was no difference at all. Such discovery made Zhang Tie understand instantly - perhaps, in that distant era when silver secrets could be made. There are many of these so-called silver secrets. They were all standard equipment that was widely popularized in that era, just like the weapons equipped in the Taixia army. The same thing is not manufactured in batches, but mass production on a large scale.
It was this kind of discovery that made Zhang Tie laugh at himself that he had been too careful in the past. He did not dare to take out a hidden silver treasure when he had seized it. If he had known that there were many similar shields, even if he took them out, who would know what he had in hand? The shield on it was captured from the Demon Commander.
This is the so-called guilty conscience.
It was precisely by relying on this secret silver shield, the body-protecting fighting spirit of his earth-level knight, and his super heat resistance after eating a lot of flaming red lotus roots in the past month that Zhang Tie completed a mission. Something he had never dared to imagine before - swimming quickly from the underground of this boiling sea of magma to the shore.
This was what Zhao Yuan did when Zhang Tie saw Zhao Yuan's abilities for the first time. Zhang Tie was simply shocked at that time. He didn't expect that after all these years, he could barely do it today.
This is progress. A few years ago, even Zhang Tie would not have thought that he would one day swim in magma.
At this moment, Zhang Tie has once again transformed into Cui Li's appearance, with disheveled hair and unkempt beard. Combined with his iron tower-like appearance, he looks very scary and somewhat sinister.
The iron-skinned newt ran into the darkness. Zhang Tie walked step by step to where the iron-skinned newt was just now, and suddenly stopped.
The wine bottle on the ground caught Zhang Tie's attention.
There were some dried bits of food on the ground next to the wine bottle. There were still some ashes left in the gaps between some stones on the ground. Zhang Tie squatted down, looked carefully, and twisted the ashes on the ground with his hands. His expression became strange.
The small amount of remaining ashes should be burned paper money. The paper money was brushed with a layer of gold powder, so the ashes left after burning were different from ordinary pieces of paper. When he was in Black Flame City, Zhang Tie followed his old man My parents also burned these things. From the look in front of me, it seemed that someone had made a memorial ceremony here not long ago.
here? Memorial
Is there anything to pay homage to here? Who would eat too much and come here to pay homage
Zhang Tie felt that everything was a bit inexplicable. He shook his head and walked forward. However, before he took a few steps, he saw a rock wall next to the sea of magma. There were carved blood-red inscriptions on the rock wall next to the sea of magma. The big characters are an elegiac couplet. The whole elegiac couplet is full of sorrow and anger, like rain and thunder at night, and the momentum is fierce.
—A true man should be born like this, and a good man should die like a king!
Above the elegiac couplet, there is a line of words, Brother Cui Li will live forever.
Below the elegiac couplet, there is also a line of words, "Pengshan real person wept and left." ()
