Just as everyone was glad that they had beaten off the flaming monitor lizard, the woods resounded with the sound of drums, followed by more footsteps.

Dozens of natives wearing animal skin armor, with oil paint on their faces, and their heads stuck in leaves, holding silver spears, surrounded Ye Feng and them.

The natives had a cold face and looked very fierce.

At the foreground was a burly native, with muscles as solid as a hill, but his body was covered with charred scars, all the marks of the flames.

His eyes swept over Ye Feng's faces, and then quickly swept over those monitor lizards on the ground, and an indescribable anger surged up on his face.

Grandma Butterfly muttered, "Oh no, these monitor lizards seem to be their pets, and we killed them, and they came to settle accounts with us." ”

At this time, an old man with white hair came from the group of natives on crutches, his face was frightened, and his hands were shaking with crutches.

"You killed these monitor lizards?"

Ye Feng nodded: "We killed it." ”

The old man burst into tears and sat down on the ground: "You have a big disaster, these monitor lizards are the messengers of the demon king, they cannot be killed, if you kill them, it will lead to annihilation." Pillar of Fire, our village is coming to an end this time. ”

The man, who had muscles as strong as a hill, was named Pillar of Fire, and he said something to the old man with a serious expression, and the old man kept shaking his head, and the two obviously had a difference of opinion.

Although he spoke close to his ear and his voice was very small, Ye Feng had superhuman senses and could hear it clearly.

"Village Chief, since you've killed the Flame Lizard, there's no way to hide. Outsiders have never been here in our village, they can kill dozens of monitor lizards, they may be legendary immortals, with their help, we may be able to defeat the demon king. ”

"Impossible, those are just legends, how can there be immortals, there is only a piece of scorched earth here, pity me for being the head of Flame Village for a hundred years, but I can't protect the men, women and children in the village, I am ashamed of my ancestors. ”

"Anyway, we can only fight for it. ”

"It's useless, silly boy, all of us, including these people, met the demon king, and we just stuffed it between our teeth, so let's run away. ”

"I won't run away, this is our land, and I want to challenge the Demon King. ”

"You stupid boy......"

Ye Feng interrupted the argument between the two of them: "What are you talking about the Demon King?"

Hearing Ye Feng mention the Demon King, the Fire Pillar, the old village chief, and all the indigenous warriors all showed shocked looks.

The pillar of fire shook the spear, and the sharp tip of the spear was aimed at Ye Feng's throat: "Who are you, how do you know about the Demon King, are you his spy?"

Ye Feng sneered, his fingers gently clamped the tip of the spear, and dialed it to the side: "I'm just like you, I'm a human being, how can I be a spy of the Demon King?" I know the Demon King, I listened to you." ”

The pillar of fire saw that Ye Feng was holding the tip of his spear with two fingers, and he was angry.

This kid is too rampant, doesn't he want these fingers.

He tried to pull the spear back, but was surprised to find that the spear did not obey his own command at all, as if it had been welded to the opponent's hand, and could not be pulled at all.

The old village chief saw the clue and looked at Ye Feng in surprise: "This young man, are you immortals?"

Jiang Yixue interjected with a smile: "Grandpa, we are not immortals, we are human beings like you." ”

The old village chief sighed lightly: "Since you are not immortals, it is useless to tell you, I can't help." ”

"Although we are not immortals, but we work together, we have a power that no immortal can match, we can really help from the Giant Tree Forest to the Devil Desert and then to the Flame Swamp?"

The old village chief listened to Ye Feng talk about the Giant Tree Forest and the Devil Desert, and his depressed expression became a little more cheerful.

"Young man, do the giant tree forests and devil deserts you said really exist?"

Old Qin Tou said impatiently: "Of course it exists, we are from there." ”

The old village chief's eyes became happy: "It seems that the legend is true, they came from the giant tree forest, and this time we are saved." ”

"What legend?"

"Heroes, come with me to a place, and you will understand, take back all your guns and take these heroes to our holy land. ”

Huozhu's expression became excited, so his subordinates put away their spears, hugged their fists and said, "My name is Huozhu, it was all a misunderstanding just now, everyone follow me to the holy land of our Flame Village, where there is the answer you want to know." ”

They passed through the woods and came to a blackened hill, and on that hill there was a cave more than a man high, and in the hole there were torches, and the flickering light of the fire illuminated the cave.

On the stone walls in the cave, some images are carved.

It looks quaint, mottled and has a long history.

Although the images have been blurred over time, and some of the stone carvings have been completely weathered, most of the images are still recognizable.

The stone wall is carved with a forest of giant trees, a devil's desert, and there are zigzag text notes on the side, and it is also marked with the Flame Swamp, in the midst of the Flame Swamp, there is a huge fierce beast, which makes some villains kneel down and worship, and sacrifice their own bodies.

Ye Feng took a look, these villains were the villagers of Flame Village, and the huge fierce beast was the demon king in their mouth.

Next to the Demon King, there are also some ugly monitor lizards carved, which look like the Demon King's subordinates.

At the end of the stone wall image, there is a group of people who have traveled a long way, from the Giant Tree Forest to the Devil's Desert and then to the Flame Swamp.

Eventually, they slay the Demon King, and the head of the giant beast fell to the ground, while the villagers of Flame Village danced around the flames in celebration.

The old village chief pointed to the villains who killed the beasts in the portraits on the stone wall, and burst into tears with excitement: "Heroes, this is you, you are the immortals in our ancient prophecy." ”

"Then what the hell is this demon king?"

The old village chief looked a little frightened, looked around, and confirmed that the demon king did not know: "This demon king has lived here for thousands of years, since I was a child, my grandfather told me that you can't provoke it, and every time the earth fire erupts, it is the time when we have to use the villagers to sacrifice." ”

Jiang Yixue didn't quite understand: "What do you mean by sacrifice?"

The old village chief's eyes were full of tears, full of humiliation and anger, and his hand trembled slightly while holding the cane.

"Alas, every time we sacrifice, we send two village maidens to the demon king, and when the sacrifice is near, the demon king will send the flame monitor lizard to the village, if we don't hand over the sacrifice on time, the flame monitor will slaughter us and burn our village. ”
