The ancestral land of the Shi family, Black Rock City.
This is an irregular grotto that is more than three hundred miles long and two hundred miles wide. Twelve rounds of empty sun hang high on the dome, providing a huge amount of light and heat.
Huge black boulders rose from the ground, forming a giant stone formation.
At the core of the stone formation, a black castle stands majestically like a giant beast.
This is the fundamental place of the Shi family. The most important members of the Shi family live in this Black Stone City. Countless instructions related to the fate of the Shi family are transmitted from here to every mine and farm controlled by the Shi family. Battle forts, and many small families attached to the Shi family.
In a large hall in the middle of Black Rock City, in the middle of the circular sunken venue, the chubby Shi Fei patted his belly gently with both hands and stood on the round platform at the bottom of the venue with a look of helplessness.
Beside him stood Shi Le and more than twenty young and powerful members of the Shi family.
On the rising stone steps all around, a dozen old people with unknown auras sat on the stone sculptures' chairs, overlooking Shi Fei and others from a high position.
On the highest stone steps, on a row of stone chairs, two old and skinny old men, with large age spots on their skin and almost all of their hair falling out, sat there with their waists bent.
Although they have aged like this, the eyes of the two old men seemed to have two will-o'-the-wisps burning brightly as they stared at Shi Fei and his party dimly.
Shi Fei's white flesh rolled gently. He looked at the elders of these families with an aggrieved look, and wailed in a long voice as if in mourning: "Elders, if it weren't for Shi Er, I wouldn't have done anything... I'd take it." There’s nothing Lao Liu can do.”
Two lines of tears welled up at once, and Shi Fei cried out in a weeping voice: "In his hands, he can hold half of our Shi family's warriors... And they are all elites, his mother, they are all The strongest elite of our Shi family!"
Spreading his hands, Shi Fei screamed: "In Dashi City, my people were washed with blood by him... The casualties were heavy, the casualties were heavy... A group of capable men that I managed to escape with great difficulty were killed by him. There are dozens of them..."
"I really didn't expect that he would be so crazy that he killed Elder Shi Hui." Shi Fei looked at an elder with tears streaming down his face: "I really didn't expect that he would kill Elder Shi Hui." Do this..."
"Although Elder Shi Hui is old and disrespectful, greedy for money, lustful, shameless, and unjust for the sake of profit, and he even harbors a group of bastards who run rampant in the clan and cause a lot of complaints... But Elder Shi Hui is an elder after all... "
Shi Fei cried: "I didn't expect that Shi Meng was so heartbroken that he slaughtered Elder Shi Hui like an animal..."
"Enough!" One of the two old men sitting at the top of the venue, an old man with almost all his teeth, roared hoarsely.
Shi Fei hurriedly closed his mouth, raised his sleeves, and wiped his tears hard.
His face was round and had a large surface area, so there was a large amount of tears remaining on his face. His sleeves were soon wet with tears. He looked really sad and desolate.
"Who gave Shi Meng the courage to do such a rebellious thing?" the old man who had just scolded asked coldly.
Shi Le and others who stood on the circular platform at the bottom of the venue remained silent.
Shi Fei blinked his eyes for a while and said dryly: "Of course... elders... you used to pamper Shi Meng to such an extent that you treated him like your darling... Tsk, tsk, all the good things were stuffed into his hands... Hey, this time he Falling out... Anyway, there is nothing we brothers can do against him."
There was silence in the venue.
A group of stone elders sitting on the stone steps looked at each other, exchanging glances, and occasionally heard low whispers.
Shi Fei looked at these elders with his eyes rolled as he looked like a dead pig not afraid of boiling water.
These are the elders...
How many of them are like Shi Hui
For the hope of immortality promised by the Immortality Religion, they even ignored the fundamental interests of the Shi family.
They can sell the Shi family's land; they can sell the Shi family's wealth; they can sell the Shi family's people...
But these things all belong to Shi Fei and the others.
Not only does it mean that these things will belong to Shi Fei and his friends in the future, but now, these young men represented by Shi Fei have already mastered the daily power of the Shi family. These territories, wealth and people are already their vested interests. Benefit.
If the elders take care of themselves, Shi Fei and the others will be happy to play the role of filial sons and grandsons.
For the sake of immortality, the elders want to betray the interests that already belong to Shi Fei and the others... Then, no wonder Shi Fei and the others are ruthless.
The elders' cultivation and combat prowess are precious, and they are also part of the family's interests.
Therefore, Shi Hui is a chicken.
The elders are just a bunch of monkeys.
Shi Meng killed a chicken and showed it to the monkeys. Now the monkeys started to jump and scream...
Shi Fei blinked his eyelids for a while, and suddenly started wailing hysterically: "Elder Shi Hui died so miserably... No bones are left... And his direct descendants... Wow, my brothers and sisters... they were all killed. The sixth child was hung on the city gate to dry!"
"It's been more than a month, it's been more than a month... I want to seek justice for Elder Shi Hui, but... but..." Shi Fei looked pitifully at a group of elders and screamed at the top of his lungs: "It's not that Shi Er and I are incompetent, really. Yes, elders, you gave Shi Meng too much power."
Holding out five fingers, Shi Fei complained: "The elite warriors directly under his name account for half of the family... In fact, the number of people who obey his orders is more than half..."
"I said, that's enough." Another elder Shi Meng, the oldest person sitting at the top, scolded him coldly: "Shi Meng behaves so wantonly and must be severely punished... Shi Fei, can you do it?"
Shi Fei lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head and shook his head.
"Elders, to be honest, if you ask me to lead people to settle accounts with Shi Meng, I can't do it." Shi Fei sighed: "Whether it's commanding on the spot or fighting alone, I am no match for Lao Liu... He has only one You can hit me with your hands and make me roll all over the floor.”
Shi Fei spread his hands: "Please ask the elders to select elite soldiers and generals to deal with Lao Liu... What I can do is to ensure the supply of all supplies... This is the only thing I can do."
On the stone steps, the faces of the elders of the stone family looked much better.
If Shi Fei climbed along the pole and wanted to take over the command over Shi Meng, they would also wonder if Shi Fei was also planning some conspiracy.
But Shi Fei didn't want command power and told them frankly that he was no match for Shi Meng, so Shi Fei was still reliable.
"Yes!" The two oldest elders nodded with satisfaction.
"Stone hammer!" One of the elders shouted in a low voice.
At the highest point of the venue, in a shadowed corner behind a pillar, an iron dwarf rumbled out. This iron dwarf has the unique physical characteristics of a dwarf. His body is as square as an iron pillar.
But his height is nearly 1.8 meters!
This height... There is no doubt that this guy has activated some special bloodline and has unusual bloodline abilities.
"Shi Chui, take your people to Dashi City and cooperate with the Yan family... to capture Shi Meng." The old elder handed a token made of black iron to Shi Chui: "Take your people with you, Shi Meng." Fei will cooperate with you... I want to see Shi Meng alive, and I want to know where he got such courage... How dare he kill Shi Hui!"
Stone Hammer responded angrily and took the token with one hand.
Shi Fei screamed: "Yan family? This is my Shi family's business, what does it have to do with the Yan family?"
A group of elders laughed lowly.
The elder who just took out the token said slowly: "Oh? Haven't you received the news yet? That's right... However, the news will come back soon... Before we summon you, the Yan family has already launched."
The elder smiled briskly with a hint of joy: "At this time, Dashi City may be already a sea of fire? Haha, coupled with a lot of strength, Shi Meng is just a junior after all, and he wants to fight against us... Haha."
Another elder said slowly: "The Shi family, we still need to listen more to the opinions of the elderly... We haven't even grown hair yet, and if we want to overthrow the world... then we have to wait until we are dead."
Shi Fei blinked his eyes quickly and patted his swollen belly rhythmically with his hands.
The two elders looked at each other and smiled, and said with a slow, lazy smile: "We, the Shi family, should also show some attitude to the Yan family... The Shi family and the Yan family have been brothers for so many years!"
A 'bang' sound and a strange jet sound echoed throughout the venue. The volume was extremely loud, as loud and harsh as a brass bell being struck hard.
Shi Fei raised his big round face and shyly smiled at the stunned elders: "Hey, my stomach has not been very good these days... I always like to let it go... Hehe, elders, please understand, please understand... We As juniors, we have to worry about family affairs every day and have trouble eating and drinking. Our stomachs suffer a lot... It's not easy for us either!"
…
A high-pitched, piercing alarm bell sounded that almost penetrated the brain.
The sharp whistle of the lizardman sentry came from the watchtower of Big Rock City: "Fire gold-eating ants, flame gold-eating ants... at least three thousand... no, five thousand... no, ten thousand..."
Whistles made of fern branches sounded throughout Big Rock.
The two city gates of Dashi City were opened, one at a time, and the large groups of cattle and wolf warriors waved their whips and roared at the top of their lungs, driving the slaves living in the shacks outside the city to swarm into the city.
Wu Tie had already rushed to the city wall as soon as possible. He could not help but widen his eyes as he saw a piece of fire rushing over in the distance.
The Flame Gold-eating Ant is an extremely terrifying creature.
They naturally like high temperatures and usually dig nests in areas close to magma. Powerful individuals among the Flame Gold-eating Ants can even bathe directly in magma without any damage.
These guys feed on various metal ores, so their carapace is as hard as refined steel, which is equivalent to being born with a set of strong metal armor.
They are extremely powerful. As long as they are adult flame gold-eating ants, they can easily weigh thousands of kilograms of brute force. Ordinary warriors are no match for them.
Moreover, they emit high temperatures all over their bodies. When soldiers fight with them, they will be troubled by the high temperature. Generally, their combat effectiveness will be directly weakened by at least 30%. Moreover, as long as they fight for a period of time, they are in danger of dehydration and fainting.
Some of the mutants can spit out flames or spray thorns made of various metals, which are extremely lethal.
The most terrible thing is that these guys are social creatures. When they swarm up, everything like city walls will be a joke. In front of their sharp and powerful mouthparts, even city walls made of metal will be eaten away by them as snacks.
The lizardman sentries were still shouting out the number of flaming gold-eating ants they had seen.
At first they only saw three to five thousand flaming gold-devouring ants, and then they saw that the number of flaming gold-devouring ants had exceeded ten thousand. But before long, they were trembling and speechless.
Pieces of fire rolled over the ground, and Wu Tie had already seen at least thirty to fifty thousand flaming gold-devouring ants rushing over without the noise of these lizard-men sentinels.
In the large farmland outside Dashi City, many crops are almost mature.
These high-temperature flame-eating ants roared past, and the crops in the neat fields were dried out of moisture and then burned.
Black smoke pillars continued to rise in the fields in the distance, flames rolled up, and heat waves rushed in all directions.
The fire was getting stronger and stronger, and there were more and more black smoke pillars. The fire was blazing into the sky, and the heat wave was overwhelming.
Wu Tie suddenly felt a little difficult to breathe.
After all, this is a grotto wrapped in rock formations. It is hundreds of miles long and dozens of miles wide. The fire is raging in the grotto. The oxygen in the air is rapidly depleted, making Wu Tie's face red and sweating profusely.
On the rock wall of the grotto, there are dozens of large and small corridor entrances, and strong winds are constantly howling.
The hot and cold air convection rapidly, setting off a turbulent storm in the grotto. The strong winds brought fresh oxygen, but only fueled the fire.
Outside the city, many slaves from Dashi City lived nearby in shacks next to the fields.
They heard the alarm bells coming from Dashi City, and they immediately fled towards Dashi City with their families in tow.
But with the fire, the heat wave rose, and then the wind howled, and the terrifying flames and heat wave spread rapidly. The thin rock dwarfs screamed and were drowned by the large fire in the blink of an eye.
"Damn bastard!" Wu Tie punched the city wall.
The fire was dozens of miles away from the city wall, and Wu Tie was too late to rescue him. He could only watch the fire raging, and watch the large groups of rock gnomes being engulfed by the fire.
Outside the city, large groups of cattle and wolf warriors roared hysterically, roaring with undisguised horror.
"Hurry, hurry into the city... If you don't want to die, hurry up and rush into the city!"
The sky was full of flames and they rushed towards Dashi City. Through the flames, Wu Tie saw that behind the overwhelming ant tide, a team of several hundred people wearing full armor suddenly appeared.
