The Fire Chaser of the Collapsing World

The slight sound was so ear-piercing in the silent night that all the villagers immediately turned their heads and looked over. Their eyes reflected the light of the bonfire, and they looked at Hua who made the sound without any emotion.

But they didn't seem to be interested in these two outsiders, so they quickly turned their heads and looked at the man tied to the pillar.

The villagers finally spoke, but Mikael couldn't understand what they were saying—no distinction was made between men and women, young or old, everyone held the handle of the knife with both hands, put it on their chest, faced the totem pole, and closed their eyes. Keep your eyes open and say something in your mouth.

It's praying—without prompting, it's one of the most primitive human gestures.

They were praying to a man they were chained to.

After a short prayer, the village chief's wife threw the first wood wither into the fire.

With the dull echo of "Peng", sparks splashed and the fire flickered, the village chief straightened his old waist, and was the first to stand under the totem pole, stretching out a dagger full of blood and rust.

"What are they going to do?" Hua probably had a guess in her mind, but that guess was too absurd, too challenging the psychological bottom line of a "person", so that her mind was still in a state of complete confusion, just watching Holding the dagger getting closer and closer to the man on the pillar.

"Push!"

Mikael covered Hua's eyes, but the sound of the sharp weapon piercing into the flesh passed into her ears exactly.

The body in his arms trembled.

Even Mikael himself felt cold in his hands and feet.

A huge cut was made in the man's calf, and steaming blood poured out of his frozen body, and flowed into the big pitch-black vat.

The village chief didn't leave immediately, but threw down the dagger, scooped up the hot blood with both hands, and held it in his mouth.

Mikael's whole body trembled, and this trembling undoubtedly came from fear—no matter how powerful he was, this scene far exceeded the psychological bottom line that he could accept as a person.

Mikael even suspected that if a serious Herrscher looked at this scene, he would definitely feel horrified.

"Stop!" Mikael yelled loudly - he should not have been so troublesome if he had known earlier, he just came over alone, took Qian Jie away, and if he didn't obey, he would beat him up before taking him away, wouldn't that be all right?But in order to respect Qianjie's own wishes, he also wanted to give Hua, who had been in a bad mood, a vacation. Who would have thought that such a terrifying moment would happen to happen.

But no one cared about him, the villagers had spontaneously lined up, and as one wood wither after another was thrown into the fire, they quickly and orderly cut big holes in the man's body.

"Stop!"

Mikael no longer cared about the so-called bottom line of shooting ordinary people. The power of the Second Herrscher will soon stop the movement of the entire space: he never thought that he would hit the This scene--

This is no campfire at all!Not even a welcome party!

This is a sacrifice!

But... who is the sacrifice?

Who is the sacrifice?

Is it the man tied to the pole?

Is it the wood wither thrown into the fire?

Or the villagers themselves?

Maybe both.

But why call them on?

Mikael gritted his teeth - the answer is actually very simple, he and Hua are also one of the sacrifices.

But, who will collect the offerings?

Before he could figure this out, the core of the Second Herrscher had formed, but before he could stop those villagers, he sensed more movement from outside the village through the power of space.

The wooden walls and houses were directly pulled down, and under the light of the torches stuck on the low stone walls, countless Houkai beasts appeared.

Chapter 5 Beast?A thousand calamities!

"Hehehehe...hehehehehe...hahahaha...hahahaha!"

The man finally laughed out loud, at first it was just a small, shallow laugh, and then the laughter gradually became sharper, accompanied by the shaking and collision of the body and the totem pole, and the last burst was out of control.

He laughed so wildly and recklessly, obviously he was the one who was tied to the pillar for bloodletting, and obviously surrounded by Honkai beasts and humans, he seemed the weakest person——

But it seemed to him just the opposite.

There are many prey, but only one hunter.

Harsh laughter echoed in the night, silent villagers holding silent daggers, silently cut wounds on the laughing man, and then were trampled into flesh by the silent Honkai Beast.

The blood merged into the melted snow and overflowed to Mikael's feet in a white mist, and he felt the passage of time again.

"You still have time!"

The Houkai beast here is not strong, he can completely solve all the Houkai beasts in a very short time.

But he is hesitating, and he asks himself from time to time—is this kind of human being still the human being he needs to save?

The footsteps of the Houkai Beast could be heard behind him, and the huge shadow completely covered him and Hua.

But he didn't make a move for a long time.

Suddenly, the tiniest chain that bound the man's right hand broke.

Mikael's heart was full of alarm bells, and the man's struggle finally forced him to make a choice - not a fight, nor any action that could be called "rescue".

Even Mikael himself couldn't explain why he made such a choice at that time - watching.

Hua only felt his eyes go dark, and then a sense of dizziness came, and he was already standing in mid-air.

Yes, it was indeed mid-air, there was nothing under her feet, but something condensed into a solid ground for her to stand on.

But before she could savor this strange feeling carefully, she heard a loud bang not far away.

[Recommended, Yeguo Reading and Chasing Books is really easy to use, download .yeguoyuedu here, everyone can try it quickly. 】

The snowfields are burning, the villages are burning, and the birch forests are burning.

The flames spread in all directions, and the origin of the spread has become a piece of scorched earth, and a large area of ​​thick water vapor condenses together at a low level, turning into a light mist.

There was a strange fragrance in the air. In the hazy mist, the villagers and Houkai beasts had all turned into dry, twisted corpses, mixed with the scorched birch trees farther away, making it difficult to distinguish.

And the instigator has already broken free from the shackles, and the ice and snow all over his body have melted. His blood-soaked feet stepped on the pitch-black ground, like bloody meat being put into a frying pan, making a "sizzling" sound. .

And his whole body is more like a fire... How can I describe it... It's like a mass of ashes that will not be extinguished. As the cold wind caresses, faint sparks light up on his body.

After a distance of hundreds of meters, Mikael met those burning eyes again.

"not good!"

The imaginary number barrier immediately condensed in front of him. Mikael pushed Hua away without hesitation. Before Hua could make a sound, he was teleported to the ground through the space crack.

"boom!"

The distance of hundreds of meters can only be reached in an instant, and the scorched fist of the thousand kalpas ignited flames, and the punch hit the thick imaginary number barrier, and Mikael even felt that the entire space around him was shocked!

"Card……"

The crack on the barrier expanded rapidly, as if it would collapse in the next second.

"You litchi!"

From Qianjie's perspective, the young man hiding behind the barrier suddenly disappeared, and his voice came from behind his head.

"roll!"

Mikael reached out and wanted to hold his shoulder, Qianjie couldn't stay in the air, this is an excellent opportunity.

But of course this beast-like man was unwilling to be tamed just like that. He forcibly twisted his waist and turned around in mid-air, and then stepped on the imaginary barrier that was about to dissipate. His whole body turned into a cannonball and shot straight at Mikael.

A dazzling arc was drawn across the night sky, and the two people at the top of the arc fell to the ground like meteors, leaving a trace hundreds of meters long on the scorched earth.

"I've said it all, calm down."

In the thin mist, Mikael let go of the hand holding Qianjie's fist.

Qian Jie still kept his punching posture, standing motionless on the spot—no, not motionless, his whole body was shaking violently and struggling, but no matter how he struggled, the invisible shackles formed by the power of space firmly bound him. Hold him so he can't move.

Unscathed, Mikael raised his chin, thinking... how to appease Qianjie?

But when he met the eyes of this beast-like man, he couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat.

On the face that was burned by the flames to a lake of flesh and blood, there were two groups of unextinguished flames.

They are beating, conveying the owner's emotions to Mikael - happy, excited, excited, curious...

"Aren't you willing to admit defeat?"

That's right, if he simply admits defeat, Mikael will wonder whether the guy he found is a thousand catastrophe.

"Hey...hahahaha!"

He laughed wildly again, this insolent attitude made people feel puzzled and uneasy.

Why?Obviously he is the weak one, but it seems...

"Interesting... This battle has just begun!"

After the voice fell, the ashes revived, he burned himself to ignite the flames, and even Mikael couldn't help taking a step back in that heat wave.

The invisible shackles of space were broken—just like the iron chains that bound him before.

"Hahahaha...hahahahahaha!"

With a wave of Mikael's hand, four Argonian Spears flew out from the space rift, each locking Qianjie's limbs.

"roll!"

With a wave of Qianjie's hand, the flames rolled back like waves, but they couldn't slow down the Yakong's spear, as if the four short spears didn't exist in the real space, but were just projections.

The "projection" pierced Qianjie's limbs without causing any pain, as if it was really just a 3D projection.

But the next moment, the projection turned into real objects, and all four Archon Spears hit their targets.

Qian Jie was stunned...

But he wasn't thinking about the strange scene just now.

He looked at his arm in amazement, the wound was bleeding out, but as soon as the blood touched the skin, it boiled, and he only had time to dip a little bit of it with his index finger and put it into his mouth.

"Blood... blood... that's the smell!"

The Archon Spear formed by the condensed imaginary energy was forcibly melted in the raging fire.

"That's what it tastes like!"

The second sound had already been heard from overhead, and Mikael quickly retreated. The next moment, Qianjie fell to the ground, and the whole ground was shaken, sending out a dull and hollow echo.

Qianjie has gone completely crazy.

But Mikael was not in a hurry.

It's like a bullfight. It seems that the bull is stronger than the man, and it attacks again and again.

But after all, the whole bullfight is controlled by human beings—just like now.

Mikael kept avoiding Qianjie's attack, but he didn't look embarrassed. He could dodge all the attacks in a leisurely manner only by relying on the power of space, and Qianjie would eventually die out as the flames extinguished. At that time, it is the time for the "Matador" to attack.

Two figures, one yellow and one red, shuttled through the scorched earth. There were explosions from the east and west for a while. Mikael tried his best to control the battle to a small space around the village. Hua was teleported to the ruins of the village before. He neither dared to get too close nor too far away.

But after such a self-limited space, it is inevitable to be overtaken by Qianjie occasionally.

Just like now...

"Run! Aren't you good at running!"

He quickly swung his fist and smashed three layers of imaginary barriers into pieces, but when the last barrier was shattered, Mikael was nowhere to be seen.

"Up there! Fool!"

An imaginary number crystal the size of a building suddenly appeared, and under the control of Mikael, it smashed down fiercely, as if it was about to crush the thousand kalpas into pieces.

"boom!"

"Ok?"

Mikael looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief:

The man who was almost exhausted stubbornly stretched out his hand against the huge imaginary number crystal, like an ant carrying a pencil.

His feet sank into the soil, his muscles tensed to the point of twitching, but he carried it silently.

The flames of war were still burning in those eyes, and they never moved away from Mikael.

"Oh? Are you so stubborn?"

Mikael patted the soot on his body, stretched out his index finger and lifted it up gently, Qian Jie only felt the top of his head loosen, and the imaginary number crystals just disappeared.
