After leaving the wooden house, Su Ming clearly realized that the situation had become tense.

The Luhr settlement was almost surrounded, and there was gunfire everywhere around it, and in the darkness, in the distant jungle, fiery snakes were constantly lit up, and it was impossible to count how many enemies lurked in the darkness.

The settlement was in chaos, the Lur people ran out of their houses, carrying the simplest food, and most of the young men with guns rushed out of the village in small groups to resist the attacks of outsiders.

"Basel, you lead everyone towards the place where the ceremony is taking place! Amir, you lead the lads to stop the pursuit of IS. Old Alayi yelled hoarsely.

Thousands of Lurs abandoned their homes and fled in the darkness of the night into the depths of the Zagros Mountains.

"Why don't you break out!" Su Ming followed the large army and asked Alayi loudly.

"IS blocking the way out of the mountain! We can only retreat deep into the mountains! Your Excellency, after you have passed the ice fountain test, you will lead us! Alayi said.

Su Ming's heart sank into his stomach, and he didn't have an energy storage ball to deal with water at all, so how could he pass the guò test!

But there were people all around, and Basel, who was lying on a stretcher, followed him closely with a group of soldiers, and he couldn't escape if he wanted to.

Even if you escape, it may be more dangerous in the surrounding mountains and forests, and it will be a big trouble if you encounter IS militants.

Probably because of the loud gunshots, on the way to the deep mountains, Su Ming didn't even find a single animal, and his plan to escape with the help of wild beasts also failed.

Running wildly all the way, as he continued to go deeper into the mountains, the gunfire behind him finally gradually weakened.

Throughout the night, when the sky was slightly bright, the Luhr team finally stopped at the bottom of a steep cliff and rested for a while.

Looking at the past, most of the Luer people who followed here were old and weak, women and children, at most only four or five hundred people, and most of the young and strong people followed His Royal Highness Amir.

Rao is Su Ming's physique is better than ordinary people, and after running wildly all night, he was also tired and out of breath, out of breath, sitting in place, not wanting to move a finger.

Lyudmila gasped for a while, picked up the kettle and poured it violently.

The rest of the Luhr were not much better, and many of them sat down and lay down on their backs.

High Priest Alayi didn't even bother to perform the 'Ice Fountain Ritual', and was so tired that he couldn't speak.

It didn't take long for Su Ming and the others to recover before they were chased by a young man with a gun on his back, who also looked exhausted.

"Why are you here, why don't you bring someone to block the pursuit of IS!" Alayi's face sank, "Go back, stop them, I will immediately carry out the ice fountain ceremony, after the ceremony is completed, the apostle will lead us out of here, and we also need you as a cover......"

"Father...... Huhuhu......" Amir's throat seemed to have been burned by fire, his voice was hoarse and dry, he pestled his gun, gasped for breath, and said intermittently: "The IS has occupied the village, and the brothers have killed more than thirty men in battle, and they have barely repelled their attack...... Estimate...... I don't think they'll catch up in a day or two......"

"Why?" Alayiqi said, according to the strength of IS, it is impossible for the Luer people to stop them with only a loss of more than 30 people, and IS's consistent style is ruthless, for the tribes that dare to resist, they have always carried out extermination, how can they give up the pursuit in the case of superiority?

"Beyond the Mountain...... It seems that there are government forces on the offensive and dragging down most of the forces of the IS,...... Over there......," Amir pointed in the direction of the IS to the west, "and IS troops are still coming to support...... I think that the real purpose of IS is not us, but to occupy the mountains and fight a fierce battle with the government army! ”

Basel said: "High Priest, Amir can be said to be the most militaryly literate young man among the Luhr people, and he has a natural sensitivity to war, even the American ** officers I know are not as good as him, I trust his judgment!" We should do the Ice Fountain Ritual right now, there is no time to waste. ”

"Alright, Amir, you go and arrange the vigilance, Basel, and gather the elders of the tribe with me, and go and witness the test of the Divine Envoy to pass the Guò Ice Fountain ceremony......"

After talking for a long time, he finally said himself, Su Ming turned his head and looked around, there were mountains everywhere, not even streams and rivers, where was there any 'ice spring'?

Besides, on such a hot day, even if there is a spring, it is impossible to freeze.

Isn't the so-called 'ice spring' suffocating itself with water? It's just a religious referent, such as pouring some cold water on your head and it's over?

Six old people from Luer, who were as old as Alayi, plus Lul, a total of seven people, lined up in a row. Amir with five soldiers, half protecting, half escorting, surrounded Su Ming and Lyudmila.

"Please come with me." After Alayi finished speaking, he took it away and walked in the direction of the cliff.

Su Ming and Lyudmila glanced at each other and exchanged glances. In the past two days, there has been a tacit understanding between the two, if Su Ming feels that he can't pass the test, they will attack at the same time, kidnap Alayi or find a way to hit the soldiers of Luer, and flee.

followed Alayi to the bottom of the cliff, Su Ming found that there was really water here, there was a huge hole under the cliff, enough for four or five people to pass Guò side by side, but the entrance was blocked by vines, and if you didn't get close, you couldn't find it at all, and the gurgling water flow out of the hole, forming a shallow stream, and the water was ankle deep, and it would definitely not suffocate people.

After following the flowing water into the Great Cave, the Emirs lit their torches.

The internal space of the cave is not as huge as imagined, at best it is less than a hundred square meters, more than two meters and less than three meters high, and more than a dozen people standing in it all seem a little crowded.

In the deepest part of the cave, there is a waterhole with a radius of about five or six meters, the water flows out of the waterhole, because there is no sunlight in the wet and cold cave all year round, the waterhole looks oily, a little closer, there is a cold air blowing in the face, barely can be regarded as an 'ice spring'.

The water is deep as you can tell from the color of the pool.

Alayi turned to Su Ming and stroked his chest and saluted: "This is the closest we can find to the 'Ice Spring', let's start the ceremony." When you have passed the test of the guò ritual, you are the true oracle of us Luhr and all the devotions of Vulcan all over the world! We will faithfully follow in your footsteps and dedicate ...... to you"

"Okay, no need to say kind words, how to carry out the ceremony? I jump in and hold my breath for a few minutes, or what should I do? ”

Su Ming said as he pretended to scratch his head, and approached Alayi quietly, while spilling his spiritual power and testing into the water.

Luckily, there are fish in the water! It's only a small fish the size of a fry, but it's still a fish!

"Yes, you just need to submerge your whole body into the pool and survive for more than ten minutes, and you're good to go!" (To be continued.) )
