"Hui Town?" I hesitated, "But I... the guards of Hui Town are chasing me!"
One-Eye laughed at the side and said, "We are really like-minded. I was expelled from Gray Town, you were hunted by the guards, and Jhin was also the target of assassination by the guards!"
"What!" I looked at Jhin in surprise and asked, "Why would they want to assassinate you!"
Jin took a few steps forward and found that his current physical strength was not enough to support him to reach Gray Town, so he had to stop and sit down on the ground to take a rest. Hearing my question, he slowly explained: "Because, I discovered the priest's secret!"
Jhin took out the leaf he snatched from me and said, "Do you still remember this leaf?"
I nodded, "This is what Aunt Zhu hid under the moonstone. Do you know the meaning of this leaf?"
Jin looked at the leaf and said, "The edge of this leaf is burnt black because it was burned by the sky fire."
"Sky Fire?" I looked at the leaf puzzled and asked, "What is that?"
One Eye said in a deep voice: "This is a magic passed down from ancient times by the priests. It can collect the light and heat of the sun and form a ball of light that emits dazzling light. Wherever the ball of light falls, it will be ignited! The sky fire was once The capital punishment used to execute criminals, letting them die in the pain of burning fire, as if they were thrown into the giant's magic volcano. I heard that this magic has been lost because it is too vicious, but I didn't expect that today's priests can actually master it again This terrible power."
"It was because I discovered that the priest was studying skyfire magic that I became the assassination target of the guards and was forced to flee to the camp. Because of this, I knew that the priest's purpose was not just as simple as digging up lost magic. "Jin explained, "So, I secretly contacted Aunt Zhu and Di to investigate the priest's true purpose for me."
"What is the priest's purpose?" I asked curiously, "Does she want to kill someone?"
Jhin took a deep breath, as if this was an unimaginably evil plan. After a long time, he sighed and said: "She didn't want to kill one or two people, but wanted to destroy the entire Gray Town. It is very clear from Mother Zhu’s last words that the priest is planning to activate the sky fire magic to burn the entire Ash Town, making Ash Town the first demonic volcano created by a mortal!"
"You still don't know what the Demonic Volcano is." One Eye looked at my blank expression and said, "That is the nightmare of all the residents of Ash Town. Because in the Demonic Volcano, no one can escape. Even though they are afraid of the flames , want to escape, but the demon volcano always makes them move in their own direction. If Ash Town really becomes a demon volcano, all the residents of Ash Town will die!" After saying this, One Eye suddenly laughed strangely, "We They deliberately wanted to destroy Gray Town, but they didn’t expect that their most terrifying threat turned out to come from within!”
One Eye couldn't help laughing loudly, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.
Listening to One-Eye's laughter, I felt chills coming over my body, lingering like maggots on my tarsus, "This is too scary! I simply can't imagine that the priest who looks so kind and gentle can actually have Such an evil plan!"
"So, no matter what, we must go to Gray Town to stop all this from happening!" Jhin seemed to have regained his strength and stood up again and started walking forward.
I quickly stood up and followed, while One Eye stayed behind for a while before taking a step forward. But he didn't want to move forward together, but got in front of Jhin and blocked the opponent's way.
"Just go to Gray Town like this?" One Eye sneered, "Are you going to die? Anyway, we are all sinners to Gray Town, wouldn't it be better to let them destroy themselves?"
"Get out of the way!" Jhin said with anger in his tone: "I can't see anyone die anymore! I have let down the camp, and I can't let Ash Town face the fate of being destroyed!"
When Duyan heard the word "camp", the sarcastic expression on his face disappeared, and gradually showed a trace of loss and sadness. He stood frozen on the spot and did not stop Jhin's footsteps.
But One Eye's words reminded me, so I caught up and said, "But if we go back like this, we might be captured by the guards before we have time to warn everyone!"
Jhin sighed and said, "Di and I have been in secret contact. He appears near the Moonstone every night. Let's get in touch with him first, and then he will naturally be able to take us into Gray Town."
After eliminating this doubt, the three of us no longer argued and rushed in the same direction.
Along the way, we tried to maintain an even walking speed, because this could maximize the use of our little remaining energy. Even so, I started to be unable to keep up with the pace of the two of them halfway through, and gradually fell behind the team. I don't know if I wasn't careful enough or if my body was too tired to support me. A small stone tripped me to the ground. Jin, who was walking at the front, noticed the sound of me falling and finally stopped.
"Are you okay?" Jhin stepped forward and asked with concern.
I made sure I didn't sprain my foot and gave him a very forced smile. I can even imagine that I must be very weak at this time.
"Let's rest for a while." Jin took a deep breath, looked at the sky and said: "In fact, the sky fire magic needs to catch the power of the sun, and it must be noon to exert its maximum power. It is already past noon, and Hui Town should be safe for the time being. .”
"Are you so sure? Maybe Gray Town has been burned to the ground." One Eye speculated with malicious intent.
After hearing this, Jin just frowned slightly and explained: "If Hui Town has been ignited, we should see smoke rising in the sky here. There is no sign of smoke now, which means that Hui Town The town has not been destroyed yet. Perhaps, the priest's magic is not fully ready yet. After all, burning a town and burning a person are completely different concepts."
After listening to Jin's explanation, I finally sat down and rested with confidence. I have to say that as soon as I sat down, I felt paralyzed all over and could no longer get up. Now even if Leishan were to come over me, I wouldn't want to move an inch.
"You're quite comfortable." One Eye kicked away the stones on the ground and sat down next to me. I could tell he was tired too.
One Eye looked around, as if everything in this jungle was novel. Noticing the way I looked at him, One Eye sighed and said, "Since I was expelled from Gray Town, I haven't seen this scene surrounded by trees for a long time."
