Chapter 42: Saving People, Jumping into the Pit
The sound of panic sounded clearly not the voice of a soldier.
How could Fang Ran not guess that those "materials" that had been taken from the wilderness for the crimes they had used to refine the blood puppets were imprisoned in this separate cell.
The flames hadn't burned here yet, but the light of the fire that reached into the sky could already be seen through the tiny vents.
As for the burning sound of the beep, the sound of the building collapsing under its burden, and the constant smell of burning in the air, it made the people inside feel that the fire had burned to the cell, and they themselves would be burned by the fire the next moment, and then die tragically.
A withered mother holds her son, who is sobbing quietly, in her arms, as if if she holds it tightly enough, the next fire will only burn herself and spare her child.
Several young men were huddled together, their eyes no longer bright, only trembling.
On their bodies, iron locks the thickness of their wrists, one by one, extended to the huge iron ingots in the deepest part of the cell, and they were cast in them, indestructible and difficult to move.
The only gate to the outside world was so heavy that it was difficult to open without the combined efforts of three or five people, and it was locked in thicker chains.
When the Celestial Thundermen warned them not to have the idea of escaping, they slashed at the chains.
A sharp blade that can easily cut off the head of a living person is just a spark on this chain.
Outside the cell, the firelight and shadow were building, and inside the cell, the groans of despair had begun to spread.
"Maybe...... It's also a good thing. It's better to burn here than to turn into a blood puppet......" The hoarse and deep voice came from nowhere.
Fang Ran looked at the iron chain that was thicker than his arm, and shook his head disapprovingly.
The Qingluan flute fell together, clicked, and the iron chains that were wrapped and piled together were cut off in response, and the incision was mirror-like, and the light could be seen.
Squeak Twist ......
There were tens of thousands of pounds of heavy stone doors, which were pushed open by Fang Ran with one hand.
The light of the fire outside penetrated into the cell in an instant.
At the same time, the smell of decay in the cell, mixed with the smell of excrement and decomposing corpses, also came to the face in an instant.
Fang Ran, who had not retreated a step against Hu Zhuohai, was actually rancid by this smell at this time, and he retreated a few steps and retched a few times.
How did the people who were imprisoned in it endure it?
When Fang Ran pushed the door open, there was a dead silence in the cell.
Not to mention the squirming voice just now, even the panting of a living person was held for a moment.
When I looked up, the prison room was full of scrawny criminals, who were afraid that there were iron chains weighing more than 100 catties, and a pair of eyes did not dare to look at the door, but from the corner of the eye, they secretly cast a frightened gaze.
Covering his nose with his fingers, Fang Ran explained the situation: "The people of Tianleimen have been driven away by me, and they are dead, and they are fleeing...... You are free. ”
At first, no one dared to squeak yet. After a while, a slender and immature voice asked timidly, "...... Can you go? ...... Not here to kill us?"
Fang Ran shook his head, saw the end of the chain extending out, walked a few steps quickly, and slashed down with a sword.
Click!
A huge iron ingot, a sword was split, and the iron chain between the smelted iron slipped out and fell to the ground with a thud.
The iron chains that bound the sinners were also loosened, and in some places they were entangled, and they were cut off with a few swords.
The sinners, who had lost their restraints, glanced cautiously at Fang Ran, then stumbled and rushed out of the cell in a panic, until they reached the open space outside, and confirmed that they were really saved, and then fell to their knees and wailed.
There are also some people who can no longer go out.
I don't know how long they have been tortured, they haven't been able to survive until the moment when Fang Ran rescues them, and they have been dead for a long time.
As soon as he opened the door just now, the rancid stench that Fang Ran smelled was the result of how many people like this had died here in vain, and the corpse did not know how long it would take.
Fang Ran no longer stayed in the cell, he was a little distraught and slashed out a few swords, cutting off several thick pillars that supported the cell, and then flew out before the cell collapsed completely.
The sinners he rescued did not leave, but gathered in a scattered manner over the clearing.
Seeing Fang Ran sweeping out of the door, they knelt down towards Fang Ran, bowed down again and again, and thanked him in their mouths.
"Thank you for the grace of reconstruction!"
"Engong killed and retreated from the Heavenly Thunder Gate, it must be the gods who came to the world to rescue us!"
"Engong...... My son was also taken away by them, and I begged for mercy...... Save my son, too......"
Fang Ran helplessly looked at the people kneeling down in front of him, and said again and again: "Get up, I will walk on the wilderness for a while, and if I meet people like you, I will save them." ”
After thanking each other for their kindness, these freed criminals supported each other and slowly walked towards the outside of the camp.
As for where to go next...... These sinners, who have been living in the wilderness for half their lives, naturally have a way to start their lives again, and there is no need to worry about it.
"Ah, yes, wait. Fang Ran suddenly spoke.
The sinners, who had already reached the halfway point, were shocked and stopped in place.
One of their hearts hung again.
Eun Gong ...... And what to do?
If they were able to level the camp and save them on their own, what could they do if they changed their minds and wanted to kill for fun?
Turning around nervously, they looked at Fang Ran in trepidation, rubbing their hands on the already torn clothes on their bodies, wiping the sweat from their palms because of nervousness.
Seeing this, Fang Ran couldn't help but sigh, pointed to a corner of the camp, and said, "The surrounding settlements have been almost destroyed. Along the way, you may not find anything to eat. The granary of this camp is in this direction, you can take some with you. ”
"Yes...... Thank you Engong ......"
"No need to thank me...... Thank yourselves for surviving. Fang Ran turned around and wanted to leave, remembering something again, and then asked, "By the way, does anyone know, is there a similar Tianlei Gate camp around here?"
Fang Ran asked this purely casually.
On weekdays, these criminals are still unable to avoid the Heavenly Thunder Gate, and it is a bit reluctant to expect to dig up more information about the Heavenly Thunder Gate from them.
It's just that under this kind of hasty evasion, if it is like a headless fly, sooner or later it will have to crash into the net of heaven and earth in the Tianlei Gate.
If you can escape until now, you know a little bit about it.
Fang Ran didn't have much hope, but he didn't expect that in the crowd, someone really said in a trembling voice: "From here, fifty miles to the east, it seems to be ...... There is also a camp......"
Someone else carefully accosted: "There is ...... Fifty miles to the north...... No, a hundred miles, a hundred miles, there are camps like this...... In the previous wolf's tooth ditch, overnight, everyone was killed and captive, and I heard that it was the hands of the people there!"
"Yes, yes, I've heard that...... The men were taken away, the blood puppets, and the women were all ruined...... Child...... "The owner of the voice sighed and stomped his foot heavily on the ground, his face full of regret.
"yes...... Those are all children! Some of them haven't even been confined yet!"
Hearing this, Fang Ran clenched his fists.
Even if he didn't deliberately exude his anger, with his realm, his anger naturally disturbed the surrounding spiritual power, producing some small spiritual violence.
Although it is not fatal, it is enough to frighten this group of people who will survive the catastrophe.
"Engong...... I know a place, there, I heard that there are really big people in town!"
Fang Ran suddenly raised his head.
A ragged woman, full of haggardness, tightly hugged the child who was still sobbing quietly in her arms, and looked at Fang Ran with courage.
Contrary to her appearance, her voice was firm and steady, and her gaze flashed with an almost crazy determination.
Such a person must have great hatred in his heart.
"Where?" Fang Ran asked.
"Seventy-three miles to the northwest, there is a pinnacle. On the top of the stone peak, it is rumored that every once in a while, a flag-bearer from the Tianlei Gate will come to inspect and take people to collect the harvest in the wilderness during this time...... Spirit stones, minerals, and ......" The woman gritted her teeth and continued, "There are also girls who are just the right age...... Count the days, in these days, there will be a flag coming. ”
Fang Ran was stunned and blurted out, "Girl?"
"Not bad...... They sold these girls into the Trade City...... My eldest daughter was given by them...... They gave me ......" As she spoke, the woman hugged the child in her arms tighter, and sobbed in a low voice for a while before she calmed down again and continued: "The flag bearer of the patrol has stayed for about five or six days in three months...... This time, the fast is in these days, and the slow, the time is not more than ten days. ”
After speaking, she still looked at Fang Ran so resolutely, but there was a trace of pleading hidden in her eyes.
Fang Ran nodded.
In charge of the flag, in addition to the two commanders, the Tianlei Gate can be called the four people with the strongest combat power. Take charge of all affairs, such as the prince of the frontier!
In this wilderness, the authority of the banner bearer is even greater than that of many princes.
After all, behind them, there are already two leaders who have a four-step cultivation and an immortal path!
Killing Hu Zhuohai was only the first step in Fang Ran's provocation to provoke and provoke the Heavenly Thunder Gate.
And if you can take advantage of the situation to kill another flag bearer, it is equivalent to a stable house, and a pillar has been removed.
Collapse is just around the corner.
And this flag bearer is also responsible for bringing the harvest of one side back to Tianlei Gate. Then, if he dies, the loss will be great.
Fang Ran really didn't expect that he could ask for this kind of information when he asked casually.
Looking at Fang Ran's thoughtful appearance, in the crowd waiting in place, someone asked carefully: "Engong, do you have any other orders?" If it is gone, we ...... Can you go?"
At this moment, it is night, and it is the period when the spiritual power is relatively peaceful in the field of Yuanmo.
In addition, this camp was originally built in a place that could be regarded as an oasis, so on the premise of not relying on the fragments of the severance charm, he could leave at night and find a place to live.
This is the common sense that every sinner has engraved in his heart.
If it dragged on until daytime, by that time, the spirit storm was raging again, how could their group, skinny and without any protective power, survive from the wilderness?
Seeing that there was not much time left, they asked Fang Ran carefully.
"Go ahead. Fang Ran waved his hand, motioning for them to leave freely.
And he himself, in this fire, stood quietly, adjusting his breathing.
There are still a few days left before the arrival of the flag bearer. And with Fang Ran's foot strength, the wilderness is more than 100 miles away, as long as you don't encounter the situation of taking a stone bath like the Heavenly Absolute Mountain, how can you get there in one day.
The point seventy-three miles to the northwest was marked in the return of the desolate scouts.
It was within the sphere of influence of the Xizhang Banner Envoy, a place that had not been carefully explored at that time, and the name was Qiyun Peak.
The most efficient, and the most simple and straightforward plan, of course, is to set off immediately, kill Qiyun Peak, ambush there, and wait for the arrival of the Xizhang Banner envoy while surveying the terrain.
However, after seeing the miserable appearance of these sinners, Fang Ran couldn't leave calmly.
If you don't know that there are so many sinners who are struggling, that's fine.
But now that Fang Ran knows, there is no reason to sit idly by.
"Fifty miles to the east, and fifty to a hundred miles to the north...... What ordinary people remember, there are always deviations. In their hands, there is nothing to measure accurately. Even if it's about this distance, it's too late......"
He suppressed the anger in his heart, used his spiritual power in his legs, and disappeared into the night outside the camp with only a few ups and downs.
Thundered......
In the camp, the fire has been burning until now, and various buildings have begun the final collapse process.
Not long after Fang Ran left, a dark shadow slowly walked out of the corner of the camp, and walked leisurely to the position where Fang Ran had stayed before.
The face of the black shadow reflected in the firelight was the woman who showed Fang Ran the way to Qiyun Peak.
But at this moment, where is she still described as withered and bloodless just now?
The thin appearance that Fang Ran saw no longer exists. In its place, there is a face and body full of plumpness and seduction.
The ragged clothes are worn on such a body, which makes people's blood run even more!
A bewitching face, a contemptuous smile slowly bloomed.
"Heh, Master Fang, so compassionate? If the slave didn't serve the Seven Peerless Princes, maybe he would really be fascinated by an innocent young man like you. Hehehe. ”
She threw her hand behind her back to the side.
It was the child who had been hugged tightly by her before, only caring about crying.
At this moment, he has been bleeding and has been dead for a long time.
In the camp, near the granary where Fang Ran pointed the way, the sinners who were rescued by Fang Ran had already fallen to the ground.
Everyone's eyes were full of consternation and despair.
The blood on their bodies seemed to have been drained, and their skin was shriveled and looked like a piece of dead wood.
The bewitching woman licked the blood stains stained on her fingertips, reluctantly glanced at the bright red bead in her palm, and said softly: "Childe said that there is no living mouth." If you can die for the plan of your son, you sinners, you deserve to die. ”
She turned her gaze to the direction that Fang Ran ran out of, smiled cruelly, and said, "Fang Ran, you must go to Qiyun Peak early." The gift that the slave has prepared for you is not light. ”
