The boar fell to the ground with a bang, blood spilling out of its eyes, gurgling out, mudding the grass and dirt on the ground, and the two arrows stuck in its eye sockets were still trembling.

The vassals who were hunting around shouted loudly.

Chu Wu turned off the horse, walked towards the body of the boar with his sword, cut off its ears and fangs, and respectfully presented it to Chu Xuanhuai. These ears and fangs represent glory, and he wants to share them with Chu Xuanhuai.

Chu Xuanhuai didn't pick up the bloody ears and fangs and ears, just squinted his eyes and stared at Chu Wu under the horse. Chu Wu tilted his head and looked at him.

After a while, Chu Xuanhuai took a fang, looked at the high platform in the distance, and said: "The king is not a group, he is high and bows down, since he is the king of ten thousand deer, he must be walking alone on a high place." If you go along this road, go around the altar, you will see a small river, and along the river to the east, you will see a sacrificial tower, and I think it may be nearby. ”

"Thank you, Uncle Twelve."

Chu Wu bowed deeply to Chu Xuanhuai, turned on the horse, and led a group of knights to run towards the high platform, paused halfway through the run, hit the horse back, and stared at Chu Xuanhuai sincerely: "Twelfth uncle, in fact, my nephew knows where it is." The nephew's trip was not for his own selfishness. ”

Chu Xuanhuai snorted coldly.

The high platform is as high as fifteen zhang, the lower width and the upper narrow, decreasing one by one, this is used to worship the great god of Haotian, there is a sculpture below the high platform, it is the small burning sky fire phoenix, several vassals and their guard knights are clustered here. Seeing Chu Wu running towards him, an old vassal rode his horse to meet him. Chu Wu nodded towards the old vassal, and walked around the high platform without a moment's pause.

The old vassals looked at Chu Wu's back, with a resolute look on his face, and as soon as he lifted the reins of the horse, he followed Chu Wu, and as soon as he left, several other vassals hurriedly followed.

Bypassing the pointed high platform, the clear river was hidden between the dense woods, a group of vassals were drinking horses by the river, Chu Wu led the cavalry to sweep like the wind, he raised his fist high, the fist was wearing a handarmor, the sun passed through the dense forest, fell on the armor, glowing with cold starlight. The vassals and knights who were drinking by the river saw the fist, pulled back the horses that were drinking water, turned over on their horses, and led their knights to chase after them.

"Looks like it's going to have to change again."

A vassal with a goatee pulled down the visor from his helmet, revealing only a pair of cold eyes, on which an eagle with wings spread out was embroidered. Riding a horse, another vassal walking beside him sneered: "It is in this method that the Great God of Haotian selects a strong king and bestows him great glory. ”

Chu Wu galloped east along the river, with more and more followers behind him, the chaotic horses' hooves stepped on the fallen leaves in the forest, and did not make too much noise, and when he looked closely, the horses' hooves were wrapped in thick cloths. However, this unusual move still attracted attention, and a group of halberd warriors stopped Chu Wu's inevitable path.

"Get out of the way."

Chu Wu didn't restrain the horse, he spread his fist, revealing a token inside, the leader of the halberd was about to go up to inspect the token, but Chu Wu slammed the horse away, slammed the leader away, and pierced his throat with a sword. The leader clutched his throat and fell, and his horse leaped over his body and ran toward the end of the creek.

At the same time, the old mausoleum keeper stood on the top of the secluded mountain, looking at the direction of the hunting ground in the West Mountain for a moment, and he stayed in the dark corner forever waiting for death when the sun could not shine on his body.

……

Although there is no mountain in Xishan, its history is very long, it can be traced back to three thousand years ago, at that time, the forest here is not so vast, the radius is only more than ten miles, the seven ancestors of the Chu people led the people to flee here, and the southern barbarians chased after them, wanting to drive them all out. Facing hundreds of ferocious barbarians wearing beast armor and holding bone knives, dozens of Chu ancestors were desperate, they no longer had the strength to flee anymore, their clothes were not covered, their stomachs were empty, and it was time to close their eyes and wait for death. Who would have thought that the mercy of the great god of Haotian came at this time, the wind was fierce, the torrential rain was thundering, and the lightning tore the sky one by one, and one of them also struck the chieftain of the Southern Barbarians.

"That was the anger of the Burning Sky Fire Phoenix, and the ancestors hid in the forest under the protection of the Fire Phoenix, and enjoyed the selfless gift of the Fire Phoenix. I heard that it was a fierce beast as strong as a hill, it had never appeared in the land of Zhongzhou, it came from the nine heavens, it should also be a god king, it was fanned by the wings of the fire phoenix, and fell in this forest with raging flames, the ancestors ate its flesh, and with infinite strength, defeated a hundred times the barbarians. In honor of God's gift, the ancestors built this pagoda, and although it is not tall, you can hear the voice of God. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. That is the will of the Great God of Haotian, and it is also the glory of the great Fire Phoenix, and it is the supreme glory of my Great Chu. As long as you keep a religious heart, you can hear God's voice. ”

There is a tower in the dense forest, this tower is not tall and majestic, only five zhang high, the tower body is densely covered with cracks, and in that crack is crawling with moss, the forest wind blows, exuding a damp and rotten smell. Chu Hou squatted in the tower, the witch official knelt on the ground, and five hundred blood phoenix guards guarded here.

Chu Hou was cutting the head horn of the deer king on the ground with his sword, of course it was dead, it was stabbed in the chest by Chu Hou with a sword, its body was huge, the horns on its head were as dense as strange branches, and it was very sharp, and it killed a blood phoenix guard. However, it is still dead, this is its fate, since it was found by Chu Xuanhuai and dedicated to Chu Hou, it has been doomed to today's death. The Marquis of Chu was ready to offer his ears to the fire and his horns to the great god Haotian, so as to be blessed by the gods.

The fire burned in the stone niche, three thousand years have passed, but it has never been extinguished, this is the prosperous fire of the Chu people, and the witch officials of the past generations have carefully served it.

The witch was very old, he was not the current Great Witch, but the previous one, and he held his hands on either side of the flame, staring at it with great concentration. The dancing flames shone on his face, it was not a human face at all, and the dead man frantically occupied every corner of that face, making the old wizard look even more hideous than a demon.

"Your Majesty, I saw the anger of the Burning Sky Fire Phoenix." The old witch said suddenly.

"The wrath of the Burning Sky Fire Phoenix?"

Chu Hou had already cut off the head horn of the deer king, he wrapped the bloody horn in brocade cloth, held the deer king's ears with both hands, respectfully placed them in front of the stone niche, bowed nine times with great solemnity, and then squinted his eyes and stared at the beating fire. He still wears that crown, and under his visor are a pair of fiery eyes.

"I didn't see anything."

"Your Majesty, anger is roaring, and death is looming." The old witch opened his eyes that were only slitted by the fire, and lumps of eye droppings crawled in the corners of his eyes, and flowed down the corners of his eyes into the wrinkles, which were disgusting, and there was a stench.

"Really? Whose death will it be? ”

Chu Hou was not surprised, he bowed to the fire again, tied the brocade cloth wrapped in the antlers on his back, the blood soaked the brocade cloth, drop by drop, and when he turned around, a drop of deer blood flew to the tinder, and the flames rose and sparked, making a hiss, which was terrifying.

"Oh my God, oh my God......"

The old wizard was startled, and trembled and prostrate on the ground, muttering something over and over again.

Chu Hou walked towards the outside of the tower.

What's jittering?

The fallen leaves that had been accumulated for thousands of years were shaking slightly, groups of ants ran in panic, and a snake 'whoosh' swooped past in front of Chu Hou. Immediately afterwards, the birds in the trees flew up and filled the sky densely, and most of them were vultures, which waited here for many years, and these greedy and lazy creatures liked to get something for nothing, and here there were always the corpses they wanted, all kinds of corpses.

"Who's coming? Your Excellency is here, hurry up and ......"

A blood phoenix guard ran towards the depths of the forest, and soon, a bright light burst out in the forest, and the blood phoenix guard's shouting stopped abruptly, and in an instant, a horse rushed over, holding a bloody head in his hand, and shouted: "Put down your weapons, if not, you will be killed!" ”

"No forgiveness for killing, no forgiveness for killing!"

More and more knights and armorers rushed out of the forest, and the first knight was Chu Wu, who shouted to put down his weapons, but his subordinates did not stop, carrying their horses and rushing towards Chu Hou who was stunned on the spot.

"Protect your majesty, protect your majesty!"

The Blood Phoenix Guard is the Blood Phoenix Guard, after a short panic, it quickly formed a human wall, two hundred people guarded Chu Hou, and three hundred people rushed towards the enemy on war horses. The heads of the people flew up one by one, the blood and water shot out one by one, and the three hundred blood phoenix blockers were invincible, cutting down the incoming enemies to the ground.

"Burning Sky Fire, Chu Lian deserves to die!!"

But at this moment, the old witch official rushed out of the tower, raised his arms and shouted loudly, and the two hundred blood phoenix guards who were escorting Chu Hou to escape were startled, and couldn't help but pause.

"Listen to my orders, Chu Lian should be !! dead"

Chu Wu drove the horse away from a blood phoenix guard, holding a small sword high, and the fire phoenix in the sword body bloomed with a strange red light, shaking the blood phoenix guard in front of him.

"Kill him!" Chu Hou shouted.

However, suddenly, the whole picture stopped, and the two hundred Blood Phoenix Guards looked at the small sword motionless, but blocked Chu Hou's escape.

"Hoof it, hoof it."

The heavy sound of horses' hooves seemed to step on the tip of Chu Hou's heart, the knight on the horseback was covered in blood, pulling his mask, and a pair of exposed eyes were ruthless, he resolutely and brutally squeezed through the human wall of the blood phoenix guard, came to Chu Hou's face, lifted the reins of the horse, and the war horse neighed wildly.

"Chu Lian, go to hell!"

Chu Wu jumped up from the horse, held the sword in his hand with both hands, and stabbed towards Chu Hou, 'poof', with a muffled sound, the sharp iron sword pierced through the chest armor and nailed Chu Hou to the ground.

"Hahaha......"

Chu Wu pressed on Chu Hou's body, pressed down against the sword hard, and laughed wildly. Years of shame, years of hatred, today is finally gone, mother, do you see, his trembling eyes, his bright red blood, is he begging me for mercy? No, it's already too late, he's the devil, and if it's the devil, he deserves to go to hell!!

"Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu ......"

Chu Hou's eyes flashed, and blood soaked out from under the armor and burst out from the wound at the middle sword. Chu Wu, who was suppressing Chu Hou's laughter, heard the faint voice, he stared at those eyes, his pupils shrank little by little, and then he trembled violently, under the cold mask, he opened his mouth wide, wanting to shout desperately, but he couldn't.

"My son, you deserve to go to hell."

A cold voice came from behind, and a huge shadow climbed onto Chu Wu's back.
