As if the majestic desert entangled with death and wealth, the dazzling ground covered with gold and silver treasures and blood stains turned the gray sky into orange, and the gold and silver that had been trampled and rubbed over the years turned into expensive gravel. , So sharp that it can turn the soles of the shoes on them into rags.
With only ten meters of light, he risked being spotted by the gaze from a distance at any time, cautiously advancing with the feeling of the air temperature.
In order to get rid of the corpse vine, Ashin went through a fierce battle with the strange bird and Pella. He is now very tired, and at the same time worried about the comfort of Evelyn and Walker. The tricky look looks like a very strange one. Exhausted and extremely nervous blind mouse.
The hot baking feel is more obvious, and you can still hear the moving sound of Flame Dance.
Ashin was sure that the target he had been looking for anxiously was ahead, and he quickly jumped behind a huge golden fish statue and hid.
Ashin carefully and carefully perceives the nearby landscape, and does not ignore any small details.
Piles of treasures and weapons, messy bones with deep tooth marks, coal scum tumbling in the wind, a large number of various vehicles that were overturned at will, and even a rusty Apache gunship upside down In the piles of gold.
A huge stove, like a steel tower, stood in front, and the charcoal made a crisp sound like a string breaking in the fire, and the raging air turned this place into a huge steamer, as if you would not give up if you don't roast people into jerky.
The hot air rushed over his face with the unique burnt aroma of barbecue, and Ashin's mind madly forced himself not to think about the "raw material" of the barbecue.
Also, something seems to be wriggling difficultly there...
"Boom! Boom!"
The desperate crash that suddenly came from the stove seemed to hit Ashin's heart directly!
Although it is as hot as a desert, Ashin’s back spine is like a snake climbing up a strong chill!
He knew what this crashing sound meant—someone was alive in that big furnace! !
From the stove came a scream of cold heart: "Oh...Help! Show mercy, see God's sake, who will save me?! Anyone can!" With that scream, inside the stove The sound of the flesh being roasted on the iron plate was heard, and the people inside were desperately knocking on the stove door with their hands and bodies!
Cold sweat ran down from Ashin’s forehead like tap water. The first fearful guess in my heart was: (Is it possible that Walker is in it?!)
"Hold it up! Hold on..." Ashin held his head and forced himself to ignore fatigue and severe pain, and concentrated all the power left in his body to the engraving of the holographic enchantment. The holographic enchantment seemed to explode. , The range of perception instantly expands far, and then immediately shrinks back to the original ten-meter range.
"Well... I'm dizzy!" It was like a sudden drain of blood from the whole body, the weakness and the bad dizziness immediately caused Ah Faith to fall to the ground.
But after the explosive expansion of the holographic enchantment enveloped the neighborhood, he clearly perceives everything within 30 meters in an instant.
After confirming that apart from himself and the poor man in the stove, there was no other breath of life nearby, A Xin shook his magic pattern claws and rushed towards the scary stove.
The magic pattern claws flashed with blue light, and the powerful curse power that would break when touched would tear open the door of the furnace that was glowing by the fire like butter.
Ashin didn't care about the astonishing heat of the oven door that was enough to roast the cooked flesh in an instant. He bit his scalp and stretched out his hand, and then used all his strength to grab the person inside and pull it out.
"Thank God! Praise God! May your will spread to the earth!" There are still a few vicious flames remaining on that person. Most of his hair and beard are basically "taken away" by the stove, and he is desperately on the ground as soon as he is out of the stove. Roll the ground to put out the fire.
As soon as the furnace door was opened, Ashin, who sensed the scene inside the furnace, couldn't help his legs softening, and stood still in shock and anger.
In the fire, the arrogant flames rolled and vomited, like a heat wave in the mouth of a fire dragon, bursting out with strong coke smoke and sparks.
What really shakes Ashin so much is that the sharp iron thorns of a spear are covered with pierced corpses like a skewer!
Those corpses were obviously put on while they were alive, and then they were struggling in despair until they were dying. Only then did they form such a crazy and weird posture.
A large amount of roasted corpse oil slipped from the skin onto the bone pile at the bottom of the stove, making a ticking sound full of death.
"This this… "
Although the story of the bloodthirsty demon's family devouring human flesh, Axin has heard countless times, he was shocked by this horrible scene of evil thoughts soaring that he temporarily lost most of his language functions.
"Both... are thrown in after being caught by those two demons!"
The man who was rescued by Ashin drew a cross on his chest and bowed to Ashin breathlessly and said, "Thank you very much! You are simply an angel sent by God! I swear by my mother's grave that I will repay you. Your life-saving grace! Huh...?" He looked around with trepidation, then stepped forward and shook Asin's shoulder vigorously: "Boy...what's wrong with you, boy? This is not a good place to be in a daze. Hurry up and hide first. , If that devil comes back, we will all die here!"
"Oh oh..." Ashin recovered a bit, and he helped the person back behind the statue, only then began to turn his attention from the fire to the person he had rescued.
This is a slightly bloated middle-aged man, wrapped in a short burgundy robe. His shocked eyes were muddy like inferior jewelry, and his round face was red and black, and it was very greasy because of being smoked in the stove. The few remaining eyebrows were pieced together in horror, half of the scorched beard was smeared with sweat, and the hands and forehead were all scary burns.
"Oh... handsome and kind warrior, you are the light of life that swept away bad luck. I, Bernhard, vowed to use everything to repay your rebirth. I will extol your heroic deeds until the sun shines. Every corner I went to..." Bernhard knelt on one knee trembling, spitting out a series of words of gratitude that made Ashin overwhelmed.
Ashin shook his head and tried to get out of his mind the sight he had just felt: "If you want to repay me, just tell me, how long have you been caught here? Have you seen a girl in a dress? , And a thin old man who looks fierce?"
"I..." Fear and panic still stubbornly occupied Bern’s face, and he said with lingering fear: "The devil threw me into that terrible stove. I was trapped inside for a whole night without knowing what happened outside. What, so I have never seen the two people you mentioned."
"What a joke..." Ashin's face was full of disbelief: "All...all night? In that stove? How could it be? Then you should have been burnt to ashes long ago!"
"Oh, that's because of this!" Byrne slapped his head, and he unbuttoned his short robe, revealing many metal blocks that were tightly bound to his body. Those crystal metal blocks exuded a strong cold air, which immediately made the hot Asin feel a little bit. Cool into the heart and spleen.
"These pieces of cold steel have been used by the Magister to perform strong ice magic. I can barely keep myself thanks to them in the stove." A deep fear still remained in Bourne's laughter: "I am a professional operator. The merchants of weapon casting plan to take these steels to the black market for a good price. Because I was worried about insecurity, I tied them up close to my body before setting out. I didn’t expect this decision would save my life at a critical moment. The devil was always outside, I didn’t dare to speak out in the stove, until I was sure he was gone, I dared to cry out for help... I smashed the door of the stove with my hands and feet, and burned my skin every time, and the strength of these cold steels was also slowing down. Slowly weakened by the flames. I was desperate, thinking that I would die here..." He weakly wiped a hand on Khanjinjin’s face: "If you don’t help me, sooner or later I will run out of cold. It's hard to escape. Thank you! I sincerely thank you. Today I finally know what rebirth is!" He began to express his gratitude to Ashin again and again.
"It turns out to be a cold steel body... You don't have to be so polite..." Ah replied absently, thinking of the corpses that were scorched in the stove, his face was depressed and heavy, and he asked with some guilty conscience: "Those who were caught The people who arrived, weren't they...did they were...thrown into the stove?"
Byrne suddenly curled up like stung by a scorpion. He squatted on the ground with his head in his arms and collapsed and said, "The devil... they are definitely the demons who climbed up in hell! They killed all the companions of the caravan, and the company captain invited him. All of the Golden Wheel fighters...were all killed by him like kids! They threw us all into the stove, hanging alive on the spikes..." His turbulent tears rolled down: "Only I survived on cold steel. …I watched my friends being cooked in front of me! I was too scared at the time, I didn’t want to die! I should have shared these cold steel with them! I am a timid and selfish person... I don’t deserve God’s forgiveness, People like me will definitely go to hell..."
Axin listened to Byrne's cry in silence. He was not qualified to stand on the moral high ground to despise or blame this poor man who was scared and almost collapsed.
Not everyone can sacrifice his life to feed tigers, cut meat and feed eagles like Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. What's more, Bonn can honestly express his thoughts and feel self-blame and grief for the death of others. This is enough to show that he is actually A very nice good person.
Ashin patted Bourne on the shoulder: "Well, this can't be all to blame on you, don't blame yourself too much!"
"But..." Byrne whimpered, "God will be disappointed in my behavior..."
Ashin, who doesn't know much about Christianity, comforted him and said, "God is also a heavenly emperor at any rate, so he won't be as careful as you think!"
Byrne's expression calmed down a bit, but Ashin did not hear what he said next, because Byrne's voice was gradually covered by the ferocious screams from far and near.
No, if you listen carefully, there are actually many other sounds: screams, calls for help, prayers, begging for mercy, and even the neighing of horses.
It's just that these voices were compared by the loudest and fiercest voice: "Miss! Miss! How are you?! Damn monsters let me go! How dare you imprison the great ladies of the Medici family!" I will stab you into a hornet's nest with a cane!!!" (End of this chapter)
