Chapter 16: The Flaming Lion

"Awake?"

When Shang Luo was concentrating on studying the panel, there was a sound of squirming footsteps in the distance, the sound of which was light to heavy, mixed with a strange sound of dragging heavy objects.

His right hand was silently attached to the hilt of the sword, Shang Luo's eyes narrowed slightly, and he stood up quietly, and soon a mellow and slightly dull voice came through the flames.

Under the light of the fire, a dark shadow slowly appeared, and the heroic and dark eyebrows first came into view, followed by a pair of slightly silent and melancholy eyes.

"Shang Wu?" Shang Luo exclaimed first, and then remembered that the phrase "wake up" was very similar to Shang Wu's voice, but he was on guard and alert at the time, so he didn't notice this kind of detail.

Now calm down, my heart suddenly clears.

"Brother Wu, you saved me......?"

Rumble!

A deafening sound rang out, and puffs of smoke and dust rose on the ground.

"This is the Flame Lion?The Ten Legendary Demon Beasts?" looked at the behemoth behind Shang Wu in a daze, and he understood why Shang Wu's footsteps were mixed with the sound of dragging heavy objects.

"Hmm. Sitting by the fire, Shang Wu replied nonchalantly, not knowing which question he answered, or if he answered both questions at the same time.

And Shang Luo, who was sitting on the side, was still in disbelief at this time, the legendary flaming lion who slaughtered the village at every turn was actually slaughtered by Shang Wu?

Golden mane, rated spiral unicorn, huge in size.

Coupled with the terrifying coercion left on the corpse, all of them are against the legendary flaming lion.

As a major overlord of the Celestial Star Mountains, ordinary tigers and black bears are vulnerable in front of it, and even the silver-ridged wolves that wiped out the quarrying team are just a small group of huskies.

There are ten major demon beasts in the Celestial Star Mountain Range, each of which has terrifying strength, and the Flame Lion is one of them.

It has been recorded in the "Records of Mortal Beasts" that the Flame Lion was just an ordinary beast, and when he was a child, he accidentally devoured the rare Zhu Guo of heaven and earth, and then opened his own spiritual wisdom, and then cultivated for five hundred years, turned into a demon, and was able to control the purple fire, ruling a large area north of the Tianxing Mountain Range.

Demon beasts generally have long lifespans, ranging from hundreds of years to thousands of years, and several of them existed on Tianxing Mountain even before the Xingluo Hundred Clans. Some of Xingluo's widely circulated books and novels often appear in the image of the top ten demon beasts, which can only be recognized by Shang Luo.

With a sword, he cut off a large piece of animal meat, and Shang Wu skillfully skewered it on the grill and grilled it over the flame.

On the bright yellow flame, the golden grease continued to drip down, and soon there was a seductive sound of "zizi", and the manic fire snake rose into the sky, with a great sense of burning everything. What was strange was that the golden flesh did not change at all in the face of the raging flames, and even seemed to be able to absorb the flames, and wisps of flames could be seen immersed in the golden skin.

Shang Luo sat by the fire and watched blankly, watching Shang Wu take out bottle after bottle of white porcelain sketches from his cuffs like a tinker bell.

Condiments?

His face twitched, and he seemed to have reacquainted himself with Shang Wu.

This mysterious man who has lived in Tailuo Village for more than ten years but seems to be shrouded in fog, is he still a delicate boy who pays attention to the quality of life?

It is well known that the quarrying team always brings a few days' worth of dry food when they go up the mountain.

Isn't freshly roasted animal meat fragrant?

Apparently not.

The smoke from burning firewood can easily attract the attention of fierce beasts in the mountains and forests, and the flaming lion among the ten demon beasts is even more famous for its love of fire.

But think about the flaming lion lying there, even the tendon meat on its hind legs has been cut off, and it is being put on the fire to reside over and over the barbecue, and think that there will not be any uneyed Han Han who will come here to spread wild.

After all, demon beasts have coercion, even if after death, the coercion will fade, but the Flame Lion is a Flame Lion after all, which is enough to deter countless fierce beasts.

It's just baked and roasted, but what's the deal with those condiments?

Shang Luo sighed lightly in his heart, in the end, it was a matter of strength, if he had such a strong strength as Shang Wu, the entire Tianxing Mountain Range was not his own back garden, he could come and leave if he wanted.

"Change dressings. ”

"Hmm, oh, thank you, Brother Wu. ”

Shang Luo, who reacted, hurriedly thanked him.

"Shhh ”

When the white cloth was removed, the pain on his left arm immediately caused Shang Luo to gasp.

Shang Wu glanced at him slightly, did not speak, but moved much gently, applied the crushed liquid medicine to the wound, carefully bandaged it three times with a white cloth, and finally tied the buckle.

Neither of them was a talkative person, and Shang Luo was still immersed in the shock of the killing of the flaming lion, so he didn't talk much during the whole process, which also made the atmosphere fall into some kind of weird silence.

"So everyone else is dead?"

Beside the fire, Shang Luo, who was munching on the meat of the beast, suddenly fell into some kind of inexplicable emotion.

"What about Yang Yue, Brother Wu can see his corpse?"

Shang Wu shook his head.

......

The sky is dark, the moon is bright and the stars are scarce.

A small lake resembles an azure sapphire set in a vast expanse of greenery.

In the grass by the lake, the earthy yellow mice pulled the food they had gathered after a hard day's work, ready to return to their warm nests, but from time to time their dark eyes would look curiously at the clay four-legged beast not far away.

The cold moonlight sprinkled on the earth, and Shang Luo knelt in front of the slightly raised mound wrapped in his cloak, and a wooden plank was inserted into the mound.

No words.

This simple and simple tomb is buried with people from the same village who used to be together today.

There are Shang Langlang who is full of hostility to him, and there are Shang Axes who have the grace of teaching and saving his life.

Twenty-three people, except for Yang Yue and him, are all buried here.

Most of the corpses were mutilated, and the worst was the Shang axe, except for a saber, not even a piece of flesh and blood, not even a single broken bone was left.

"Yes. ”

Shang Luo sighed, his heart filled with an indescribable complexity.

As early as when the other party faced the wolves alone, such a bleak ending should have been expected. But when he really saw the wordless wooden board that served as a tombstone, and when he thought of the broken knife buried in the soil, Shang Luo's heart was suddenly clouded with an inexplicable shadow.

It's a pity.

According to Shang Wu's brief description, Shang Luo found that if they could survive another half an hour, they might meet Shang Wu who had returned after killing the Flame Lion.

At that time, Shang Wu, after smelling the rich blood in the forest, immediately found a corpse that had been eaten most of it, and after recognizing it as a person from Tailuo Village, he was alone, followed the trail, slaughtered the silver spine wolves, and then happened to find Shang Luo in a coma, recovered many bones and took them away, and set up a tomb in the same cave, and worked until night. It wasn't until just now that he dragged back the flaming lion that he had already killed.

"Strength. ”

Under the moonlight, Shang Luo sighed lightly.
