Epoch of Twilight

Chapter 215: brazier

Views:

One hundred and fifty meters is not too long a distance for either the giant or Luo Yuan.

Luo Yuan threw down the short spear in his hand and moved his arms. He found that the muscles were not torn this time, and there was no soreness at all. The effect of the fourteen-point constitution made the muscle fibers stronger. Toughness makes him no longer as prone to injury as before.

The giants were getting closer and closer, and the loud roars of these monsters made his ears ring. He raised his eyelids slightly and looked at the giants charging over the mountains and plains, and a cold smile appeared on his face.

The handle of the knife in his hand was instantly clenched, and his whole body suddenly blurred. The air flow around him was surging, and his body had disappeared from the spot. He was dragging the long knife in his right hand. His body was short, like a tiger going down the mountain, and his toes stepped hard on the soft soil. , rolling up dead leaves several meters high, he almost took five or six meters with each step, and flew directly down the hillside.

A strong giant with a giant stick in his hand came towards me with a ferocious smile. His wide mouth almost split his entire face into two halves due to his ferocious smile. It looked particularly ferocious. As it ran, the animal skin opened A huge thing was dangling back and forth, looming, and before it could get closer, a strong smell of fishy smell hit my face.

Luo Yuan frowned in disgust, his body suddenly leaped high like a flying swallow, huddled up, and passed by the giant. At the same time, the silver-white sword slashed a cold light in the air, and then, An ugly head rose into the sky under the high pressure of blood, and blood gushed out from its neck. The headless giant continued to run for a few steps with the inertia, and then slumped to the ground, its whole body twitching unnaturally.

As soon as Luo Yuan landed, he ran quickly, like a flexible cheetah with a man and a knife, rushing into the giant crowd, and soon started a bloody storm.

The giant's huge size was like a bigger target. Facing Luo Yuan, who was superior in speed and reaction, the only result he got was an extremely efficient bloody massacre. Everywhere he passed, there were The blood from the stumps and the oozing screams and roars.

Most of the giants did not die on the spot. Due to the difference in body size, Luo Yuan's height was no higher than the giant's thigh. Therefore, most of the giants only had their thighs cut off. The difference was that some had one leg cut off, and some had two legs cut off.

Time passed minute by second. In less than ten seconds before Luo Yuan rushed into the giant crowd, more than thirty giants had been seriously injured. Almost every second, three giants had their legs removed, and they could no longer escape. This is because the giants are spread too far apart, otherwise, the number would be even greater.

Luo Yuan's figure almost turned into a high-speed moving shadow. One moment, he was still nearby. The sword was like lightning, cutting down a giant to the ground. The next moment, it had drifted to more than ten meters away. The sharp sword was not even a trace. The resistance cut through the muscles and bones of the giant's thighs. The giant who tried to escape ran a few steps and fell to the ground, with his legs detached from his body.

There were rolling and howling giants everywhere under the hillside. The strong smell of blood made the surrounding branches swaying and the grass commotion, attracting countless coveted eyes. There were even a few shadows circling above their heads.

Thirty seconds later, no giant could stand intact anymore. Only those giants whose legs were separated and could no longer escape were still struggling and howling in a pool of blood! The miserable and sharp sound kept echoing in the valley.

Luo Yuan stood on the spot, blood dripping from the tip of the knife, and it soon became as bright as new. He panted for a few seconds, and his breath quickly stabilized. After his physique strengthened a little, his recovery ability was already abnormal.

With a glance, his gaze was like a razor blade, frightening these giants who were still crawling with their hands. They were so frightened that they forgot the pain of their broken limbs. They were trembling all over and had a look of despair on their faces.

A series of strange sounds came out of his mouth, either pleading or cursing, but none of this could change the final result.

Luo Yuan quickly walked over and got to know these people one by one, and soon there were nearly a hundred headless corpses on the spot.

"The first step has finally been successfully completed!" Luo Yuan thought to himself, with a little excitement on his face. He returned to the original place, picked up the bag filled with short spears, carried it on his back, and quickly headed deep into the valley. Go.

It wasn't until Luo Yuan completely disappeared from sight that a large number of mutated beasts dared to pour out of the trees, rushed towards the corpses, and started biting crazily.

… … …

As Luo Yuan walked halfway, he encountered giants returning sporadically, but he didn't expect to go in the wrong direction. As for those giants, he naturally killed them one by one.

The slightly larger trees on both sides of Ruth had been cut down, leaving only tree stumps. From the time he set out until now, he had seen no less than two thousand tree stumps. As he walked along, there were more and more such tree stumps. The more trees he saw, the more solemn his face became. He didn't know what these giants were doing with these huge logs. With so many trees, even building a small city would probably be enough.

After walking for nearly a few kilometers, a huge stone wall appeared in front of him. He took a closer look and quickly fell to the ground. He found that there were caves everywhere on the stone wall, and giant figures could be seen on it from time to time. But the strange thing was that , there seemed to be thick smoke coming out, the air was filled with the smell of smoke, and there were waves of heat blowing from time to time in front.

He slowed down, hid his body in the grass, and crawled forward. After walking for more than ten minutes, the heat wave here had reached a level that made Luo Yuan feel hot. The temperature had reached more than 70 degrees, and even the nearby grass was a little yellow and dehydrated. A trace of doubt flashed in his mind, and he took a few steps forward. Gently pushing aside the grass with his hand, and taking a closer look, his expression changed slightly.

This is a huge brazier. The entire open space in front of the rock wall has been dug by these giants into a huge deep pit. It is almost more than a hundred meters wide according to visual inspection. The flames are burning inside, and the tongues of fire are violently puffing and jumping in mid-air. From time to time, Jumping out more than a hundred meters high.

At this time, countless giants were sweating profusely and throwing logs one by one into the huge brazier from a distance. Their skin was a little scorched under the high temperature, and the hair on their heads had even turned yellow. Completely charred and curled up, these giants looked excited and solemn.

However, the high temperature here is obviously a severe test for the thick-skinned giants. Almost no giant can survive three rounds, and soon another group of giants will take turns.

There are a lot of giants here. There are one hundred, fifty or sixty of them just in the open space, and the number of giants standing in the cave on the rock wall watching the flames is several times higher. Their expressions are difficult to distinguish, but their gazes are all fiery, and more vividly, they are fanatical and pious.

Luo Yuan thought about the countless uses for these giants to cut down giant trees, such as building residential buildings, making hunting weapons, and building defensive walls, but he never thought that these giants just wanted a big fire pot with these giant trees.

After watching it for a while, Luo Yuan gradually understood. The fear of fire is a fear imprinted deep in the genes of living beings, and fear brings worship. This seems to be a primitive natural worship, and humans have also Come through this.

Moreover, this huge brazier placed here not only has the function of belief, but also has the function of intimidating other mutant creatures. In this dangerous forest, a basin of flame is enough to save countless giants.

This is no longer pure fear, but the initial use of fire. In a sense, this is the most critical step for intelligent creatures.

Thinking that along the way, most of the surrounding tree stumps were cut down recently, which shows that this fire pit appeared not long ago. The giants learned to use flames only recently, and combined with the thunderstorms and forest fires some time ago, it is obvious that that time It's an opportunity.

Humans have been living on hair and drinking blood for millions of years, and it was not until the Neolithic Age that they were able to learn to use fire, and this group of creatures only lasted for a few days. Even if the time is extended as much as possible, it will only be two years at most. The difference between two years and millions of years , there was a chill in his heart. The progress of these intelligent creatures was too fast. Luo Yuan couldn't imagine how far it would have evolved if he had left it alone for a few more years.

A trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes, these creatures must not be allowed to stay.

However, how to kill all these giants was a difficult task. He carefully observed his surroundings and finally turned his attention to the rock wall.

The slope of this rock wall is very large, almost vertical, and is about three hundred meters high. The surface of the rock wall has traces of rest and is very smooth, with almost no protrusions or pits for handholds, and a zigzag road. , then winds from the inside of the rock wall below to halfway up the rock wall.

Such a road dug out of the rock wall is a huge project even for this group of powerful giants. There are still several giants at the top who are continuing to dig, and it is obvious that the road will continue to extend.

The caves on the rock wall are opened on the side walls of this road.

The terrain here is easy to defend and difficult to attack. One man is in charge and no one can break through. If you want to kill these giants, you must push forward all the way from the bottom road. There is almost no room for change.

Luo Yuan frowned!
