Chapter 11 The cause of the fire

Fortunately, I am a dark profession, and my life energy is probably more conspicuous in this vast sea of ​​fire, so I quickly locked my target position and moved quickly over.

After I ran to the location of the life breath cluster I sensed before, I found that this place was not on the ground, but underground. But it was true to think about it. If it was on the ground, even if these people were not burned, they would probably be roasted directly into humans, and only underground could survive. Of course, if I did not provide rescue, these people would die sooner or later, because the fire would consume a lot of oxygen. If the entrances and exits were not closed, high-temperature gas would pour into the room and toxic smoke, causing death. If these outlets were closed, then I would not need to say what would happen in a completely closed environment. Suffocation was only a matter of time.

The building of the basement is obviously a big building. Because the flames above are extremely strong at this time, it is still a bit troublesome to go in to save people. Entering into this kind of torch-like ruins is a burden to me, and the people who rescue them also need to clean up the fire here first. Otherwise, as soon as I open the entrance to the basement, the people inside will immediately turn into roast chicken. At that time, I will not save people but kill people!

"It's really red, gold coins, Christina, have you found survivors?"

"No." Zhenhong's first report.

"All people are burned to ashes, so how can there be any survivors!" Jin Coin complained.

"I didn't find it here either." Christina said last.

"Boss, what's going on with you?" Zhenhong suddenly asked.

"I found a large group of survivors here."

"I am worthy of being the boss! All survivors are better than us!" Jin Coin joked.

"I would rather pick up something else." After I said that, I looked at the fire over there and said, "You didn't find the survivors, just record where you searched, and then come and help me get all the people here."

"Boss, can't you handle it alone?" Zhenhong asked.

"Everyone is in the basement. There is a whole house pressing on it, and it is burning. As long as I open the door, I will be killed in the next few seconds."

"That's true." Zhenhong said, "You wait, I'll arrive soon."

"We're here too." Christina said with the gold coins.

The village was not very big, so a few people gathered over quickly. Zhenhong saw the huge fire in front of her and asked me: "Boss, how do you know there are people below?"

"Don't you know?" I turned my head in surprise, because if Zhenhong said she didn't know, it means that I would do the area she searched for again. After all, she still could not confirm that there were people buried under the building with clear guidance, which means she was completely missing the place where there were survivors.

Sure enough, Zhenhong nodded and said, "I just can't feel it!"

"That's bad!" Jin Coin also discovered this problem. It seems that among the four of us, Zhenhong is the most serious of the subject. Although her combat power ranking is very high, her ability is too concentrated. Almost all ability data is concentrated on destructive power. Therefore, many times Zhenhong will be more powerful than Christina and me, but she is obviously not good at detecting ability.

"What's wrong with me?" Zhenhong obviously didn't realize the problem.

Jin Qin told her the reason directly, and Zhenhong quickly realized the problem. Finally, after discussing it, we could only arrange for her to perform the search task with me. Anyway, if she left by herself, I would have to run the places she has been to again. It is actually meaningless to separate or not.

After saying this, we immediately started the rescue operation. Of course, Zhenhong had to act as a bulldozer. First, lift all the larger pieces of wood pressed on the basement and throw them elsewhere. In fact, Zhenhong is only suitable for this work, because after the strength drops, it is a bit difficult to carry some extra-large logs here. Although it can be moved, it is very difficult. In contrast, Zhenhong has much more power. She easily carried the whole wood and turned around and threw it out.

With Zhenhong, the bulldozer, our cleaning speed rose sharply. Soon the wood burning on the ruins was almost cleaned up, and the rest were small pieces of wood. Originally, this kind of broken wood piece was done with a storm of wind, but the problem was that it was now on fire. Once the storm was summoned, it was equivalent to promoting the fire, so we could only think of a way ourselves.

After a simple thought, Jincoin came up with a very simple method, which is to first perform a floating technique on this area, so that all the small pieces of wood can fly up, and then we don’t have to worry about it.

The heat island effect generated by large areas of flames will accelerate the air in this area, forming a very powerful upward airflow well. The weight of the wood that has applied the floating technique will disappear. Under the driving force of the airflow, they will continue to fly upwards. They will not fall independently until the floating magic magic fails. These small pieces of wood will probably burn them all by themselves if the spell fails. Even if they can fall off at that time, they will only be ashes.

After clearing the wood on the ground, the stone floor was left. Based on the location of the breath of life, we directly found the hidden basement entrance.

The entrance to this basement is not a wooden door, but a stone door. This is probably the main reason why the people inside can survive until now. However, how to open the stone door now has caused us a lot of trouble. It is not that we cannot destroy this door, but that we don’t know what the structure behind the door is. If the skill power is too powerful, the people in Dalian will kill them together, wouldn’t it be a waste of work?

After a little bit of research, we decided to use a more secure method to open a hole in the door and ask about the situation inside.

If you just open a hole, it will be much easier for us. Just use eternity to turn it into a drill bit, then Everrit takes the horse and grabs the end of eternity to start drilling. The biggest difference between Everrit and us is that the joints of Everrit can rotate infinitely in one direction without worrying about twisting. Moreover, some Everrit's joints rotate very fast. For example, Everrit's wrist can easily reach seven or eight thousand revolutions per minute after turning, which is definitely faster than human hands. Therefore, let Everrit drill holes to be perfectly matched.

Thanks to the everlasting powerful cutting ability and Everett's hand speed, it may be because the material of the door is indeed just ordinary stone slabs. In short, we successfully opened a round hole with a wrist thickness on the door in less than thirty seconds.

"Absolutely, pull it out." Seeing Everett's wrist suddenly sinking down, I knew that it must have been penetrated.

Everett began to rotate his wrist in reverse, and the threads on Eternal helped him pull Eternal out of the door easily. I quickly approached the hole in the door and looked inside, but found that I couldn't see anything, not because it was black inside, but because there was a turn behind the door. And I also saw several steps, which meant that there was still a deep one below.

Although we didn't see the survivors, at least we knew there was no one behind the door, so the next thing was simple.

I made a request to Zhenhong directly and then let it go aside. Zhenhong walked forward and turned the stone door into a gravel piece with three punches and two kicks. It turned out that even if the attributes were suppressed, Zhenhong was still a bulldozer.

Turning right behind the gate shows a long downward staircase. After we went down here, we found that there was a fork at the end of the steps. The structure of this place is much more complicated than we imagined.

The forks extend from left to right, but we have no way to rely on the position of life energy to determine which side to go. Because the direction of life energy is displayed directly in front of us, the two forks extend to the left and right sides respectively, which means that no matter which of these two forks is, it is possible that the survivors will be at the location.

Since there is no way to make a direct judgment, we only have to check one by one. There are only two roads anyway. And how big can the basement attached to the house in a village be?

Anyway, we didn't know which side was the right path, so we simply chose one. After walking less than ten meters, we found it was a dead end. After walking seven or eight meters, we turned around and entered a small room of five or six square meters. There was no one inside and there were no other entrances and exits. We had no choice but to change another road, and after the same length, we also turned a corner, but this side was not connected to the house, but a new passage.

This new passage is very narrow and long, and the downward slope is very large. After we entered, we felt a vague feeling of coolness.

"How is there wind here?" Jin Qin asked in surprise.

"I feel it too." Zhenhong said.

It is not surprising that there is wind. As long as there is more than one outlet, even the basement will be formed by airflow, and as long as the airflow is fast enough, it can be felt. We are not surprised that we feel wind underground. What really makes us wonder is that there is wind in the basement of this building, and this is generally a phenomenon that only secret passages can occur. In other words, what we enter may not be a basement but a secret passage.

"What should I do now?" Christina asked looking at me.

"What else can I do? Search down."

In fact, we really have no good idea, so we can only move forward along the induction signal. Fortunately, the position of the signal has not changed, so we are always constantly approaching the signal source. After moving forward for more than two hundred meters in this channel, we finally completed the channel, and the end of the channel is the survivors we are looking for.

Although I knew that there was definitely a large group of survivors below when I was on the ground. After all, the breath of life is very large and there is no energy fluctuation, so it is definitely impossible to be a single powerful individual, only a large number of weak lives. However, the number of survivors appearing in front of me still surprised me. I even doubt whether the entire village is here.

The room at the end of this passage is basically the same as a huge indoor stadium, with a relatively high surrounding area and the center point being the shortest. When we came in, there were at least several thousand people gathered here. Judging from the size of the buildings on the ground, the total population of this city may be only 20,000 to 30,000, while the room alone was 70,000 to 8,000. Even if we were prepared, we didn't expect so many people to be there.

While we looked at the survivors in this building that was like an underground shelter, the survivors were also looking at us without saying a word. The expression was exactly the same as when the previous bride-trip team just met us. When we realized this, we suddenly thought about what might happen later, but the problem was that we didn't have time to take action and the survivors moved first.

The reactions of these people were exactly the same as sending off a bride. They just exploded the nest. A group of people ran around and found that there were only two exits in this place, and we were standing at one of the exits. So the remaining people began to gather in that direction and tried to rush out.

As soon as I saw this, I knew it would be bad, so I took action as soon as possible. At this time, the four of us alone could obviously not make the crowd quiet quickly, so I directly released the Death Guard. The One Thousand Death Guards surrounded the entire refuge in a circle. The other exit was where I placed the king and the sickle.

The king has enough combat power. He can suppress it even if he really happens, and the sickle being placed there is purely an advertising effect. Although in terms of combat power, three sickles are not the king's opponent, sometimes it is useless to rely on strength alone. Even if the king can fight ten at one time, it seems that there is no deterrent force for the sickle. Of course, I am talking about the ordinary people, those who really know the knowledge can tell who is more powerful by just a glance. But for ordinary people, a spider as big as a car and a warrior who looks very majestic. Of course, normal people will think that spider is more scary.

My arrangement soon received the effect. The crowd that was rushing to the exit was quickly scared back, but the crowd was still trying to squeeze into the center, so I shouted decisively: "Listen to all the guards of death, stand still, don't worry, and kill all the moving ones for me."

Of course, my sentence is not meant to be listened to by the guards of the Death God. If I really want to kill someone, I will do it with just one thought. The purpose of this sentence is to scare those who run around, and the effect is surprisingly good. In an instant, all the people present entered a state of static, and an upcoming stampede accident was strangled in the bud.

"Don't move anymore, right?" Looking at the crowds below, I said loudly again: "Since you don't move anymore, let's listen to me talk. We are not the group of people you think. We are outsiders who came here from other places, and we are not the subordinates of the Demon King. The reason I wanted to enter here was because the people in the bride-sending team saw that the village was burning and they couldn't rush in, so I asked us to come in to save the people. Do you understand what you are in now?"

The crowd did not answer my question, but moved again in an instant. Of course, it was not running around, but relaxed as if they were relieved. This reaction just showed that they understood what I said, otherwise they would not dare to relax like this.

Although most people feel relieved, some people react differently. Some of them rushed over and then pulled us to ask whether their relatives in the bride-sending team were safe. We can only say that this kind of problem should be safe, because we don’t know who there are in the bride-sending team outside, but there was no fight at that time, so even those who ran away should still be alive.

In addition to those who asked about the status of relatives and friends, there were also some abnormal reactions at the scene, because everyone else felt relieved, but this guy started to make a meditative expression since he found out that we are not demon kings, and he frowned and seemed to be difficult to make a decision.

Although this guy is abnormal, I have no intention of finding that guy. I just don’t plan to ask about the situation, but the other party quickly made a decision, and then slapped his thigh and walked towards us.

Jin Coin and Christina have also noticed this person and the small group of people around him for a long time. The reason why they can find these people at a glance among thousands is mainly because their outfits are obviously not ordinary people. If our guess is correct, these guys are probably the so-called General Qi Man and his subordinates.

Sure enough, after the group of people walked in front of us, the guy in the middle wearing the red armor dedicated to Japanese samurai came out more and then introduced himself: "A few strong men, I am Qiman, the lord here. I wonder what the few people call me?"

On behalf of Zhenhong, I briefly introduced our names and professions, and then asked: "How come you burn here? Isn't that demon king in the direction we came? Did they run to us from a small path?"

"No, we set the fire ourselves." said a guy next to Qiman who looked like an aide.

"Ah? What did you say?" Zhenhong looked at the guy in surprise and asked, "What do you mean is that you set a torch and burn your own village?"

Qiman explained depressedly: "Although we sent a bride to send off the bride, the number of brides was not enough, and it was too late, so we felt very worried after the team left. After that, my staff suggested that we pretend to be dead, set fire to our city, and then everyone hid, so that even if the demon king comes, they would think that our entire village was burned to death, so that we could survive."

"It sounds pretty good at first, but you can't keep pretending to be dead, right? As long as you go out to play, you will definitely be discovered. Will you still be finished at that time?" Jinzi asked.

"You don't know anything about this. In fact, as long as we escape from the recent period, we don't have to be afraid of the Demon King." The aide next to Qiman said again.

I looked at him curiously and asked, "Why? Is it said that the demon king is about to die?" (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
