Chapter 97

"The entire Qingzhu Peak is going to be burned? Is there a way to escape? Cave is fine, underground tunnels are fine, and rivers with sufficient depth are also good. Are there any nearby?"

Balliard was startled by Wook's conjecture, but compared to Wook's despair, Balliard was at most unhappy that there would be bad pain that would stick to him next.

"...No, there is nothing. There are only a few small streams on Qingzhu Peak. They will evaporate quickly under the flames. We have no way to escape."

"Why--"

Longshe sighed. He didn't expect the traitor to burn the mountain directly.

"There is nothing we can do. Just wait, maybe there is still some chance of survival."

"Huh? A chance of survival? Are you saying that some god will be so merciful that he will send rain to extinguish the coming fire?"

Balliard wanted to leave directly. He could summon the skeleton dragon bird, even if he brought everyone here with him, there would be no problem. However, he did not want to expose this ability.

It's just setting fire to the mountain. Even if the flames are mixed with a lot of runic power, the most they can do is make Balliard feel pain. After all, it is not magma underground.

"How can any god be free to pay attention to us? Even if there were, it would be impossible for him to take action to save us. That would violate the laws of nature."

It was noisy outside, and people here were showing various signs of panic, but Longshe seemed to have some kind of magic when he spoke, allowing others to hear him clearly.

"You can already see the fire. Do you really want to wait here?"

Is Longshe going to take action personally? If this is the case, Balliard is not willing to miss it. If there is a dangerous and mysterious figure who cannot be shaken off in any case, and there happens to be a chance to pry into the strength of this mysterious figure, theoretically there is no way

People will refuse.

As far as the eye could reach, the sky was rendered red, the aura of destruction and end spread, and panic and pain invaded.

Among the scribes around Balliard, there were some who fled in a hurry, some who were at a loss, some who were calm and composed, and some whose faces were ashen, but none of them had the freedom and ease to look down on life and death.

These people will follow Valliard here for the purpose of making meritorious deeds. Without exception, if they die after making meritorious deeds, that is called a well-deserved death.

Their names and honors will be spread, and their merits will be inherited by future generations.

However, the Qingchuan bandits they came to exterminate were just some people who had been deceived. How could they achieve any merit? Nothing had been accomplished, nothing had been done, and their lives were in danger. Nothing could make them more disappointed and desperate than this.

"Of course, it is safe to stay here. If you have the idea of ​​​​breaking out of Qingzhu Peak, I am afraid that you will be intercepted by traitors, and you will suffer heavy losses by then. You will not be able to save one out of ten."

"...Okay, just wait."

Balliard always felt that Longshe had an ulterior motive. In his eyes, Longshe and he were the same kind of people. They didn't care about the life and death of human beings (others). The sacrifices of others might only be funny in Longshe's eyes.

Such a person actually refused the option of escaping Qingzhu Peak with all his strength because the troops he brought would suffer heavy losses.

However, Balliard's choice did not represent everyone's choice. The situation was urgent, and those people had no time to argue with Balliard, so they took a few of their close people and fled out of the mountain.

After that, another forty or fifty people ran away one after another. Although they were all servants of the Hou Mansion and veterans who had followed Kaiyang Hou to conquer the barbarians, they should not be afraid of death, but they were allowed to die in such a meaningless way.

, they cannot accept it.

"Lord Wenzong, is there really any hope?"

Wook seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and the hope in his eyes burned more vigorously than the wildfire.

"I'm not sure, but it's probably OK."

Balliard did not look down on Wook because he was desperate because he was about to die in the fire. Although fear of death has a derogatory meaning, it is human nature.

Usually, people who regard death as a home are not qualified to despise those who are greedy for life and fear death, because they regard death as a home.

When will the wanderer return home?

After the study tour is over and you have achieved success, generally speaking, your goals have been achieved, the value of your life has been realized, and there are no bigger and more pursuits. Therefore, death is "going home" for this kind of people.

It is to abandon all restraints.

As for being greedy for life and afraid of death, why don't people want to die? The goal has not been achieved. Such people still have worries and unfulfilled dreams, and they must realize their dreams no matter what.

Isn't this valuable?

"..."

Wu Ke reluctantly stood up and looked at the red in the distance. Aren't you afraid? Of course he was afraid, but what's the use of being afraid? Although Wenzong didn't give himself a clear answer, he was willing to believe that they would not die.

It's not because he has enough trust in Valliard, it's just because he doesn't want to die.

"coming."

Longshe suddenly spoke, causing Wuke, who finally stood up, to almost sit down again.

"What's coming?"

Flame? That thing is still far away. Balliard does not believe that the flames ignited from the edge of Qingzhu Peak can burn to the hinterland of Qingzhu Peak in a few seconds.

"Jiang Miao! I know you are here, why don't you plan to come out? Your daughter is trapped here, and the flames are blooming. If you don't come out, your daughter will turn into charcoal! Everyone, please let me wait for you today.

Heaven walks the road!"

The sounds coming from the distance soon fell silent, but the flames at the end of the field of vision gathered into a giant. The giant was one hundred feet tall. Every step he took would cross fifty feet, and all objects within fifty feet would be destroyed.

combustion.

At this rate, it will take at most five minutes before he will appear in front of Valliard and others.

"...I have a little headache."

Balliard covered his head and shook it left and right. The traitor brought him many surprises.

The so-called walking on behalf of the sky, is to condense the celestial phenomena and the power of nature into one? If a single celestial phenomenon does not exist for a short time and has insufficient power, I am afraid that the limit of this magical power is the will to create an entire continent like Anivia.

No wonder he is doing justice for heaven.

However, this kind of magical power is not important. Those who cannot be dealt with by Balliard cannot be dealt with by simple incarnations of celestial phenomena. And those who can be dealt with, instead of spending time learning this magical power and then finding a group of people to cooperate with them,

It would be more convenient to directly summon a bone dragon.

The most important thing is - Jiang Miao, Jiang Yan's father, son of Kaiyang Hou, the eldest son of the Hou Mansion who disappeared more than ten years ago and was being hunted by traitors, why would he appear in such a place?
