After intercepting the cowboy on the side of the road and obtaining three horses, the speed of the three of them was greatly increased, and they galloped from the vast wilderness to the north of the map.

Even if there are doubts about the ability of the old gods to find people, it is undoubtedly the fastest way to find the dangerous "odyssey" and seek the help of the old gods.

The Trailblazer's wilderness is vast and sparsely populated, and the only difference from the Martian wasteland is probably that you don't have to wear hazmat suits. With the exception of the occasional raid on the bounty hunters, the trio made their way to the northern part of the wilderness without any hindrance, and began their search.

"The taste of this place ......"

Bloodblade grabbed the reins and stopped the tall horse he was riding, twitched his nose twice, and said in a hoarse voice, "Interesting......"

"What's wrong?" Lin Chi, who didn't have an extraordinary sense of smell, asked.

"The smell of blood is even stronger than the burial ground just now." The Blood Blade grinned and revealed two tiger teeth: "There is definitely a murderer, ...... here"

Andrea suddenly rolled and dismounted, digging out a silver metal plaque from the dirt under the horse's hooves, the round plaque was covered in blood and scratches, as if it had been worn on a corpse.

"It's the executioner." Andrea is clearly familiar with her husband's profession: "This is the identity badge worn by death row inmates. ”

- Is the sacrifice requested by the ancient gods this time the executioner in the wasteland?

Realizing this, Lin Chi also dismounted and dug in the soil, and soon found several dry bones that had been buried.

Unlike the surrounding wilderness, the soil here is much softer, and there is no need to say much about what lies underneath.

"This whole place is an area of execution." Lin Chi said his inference.

"If this man can be recruited, will I give him to me?" Bloody Blade kept rubbing his hands: "I can pay you." ”

"Whatever you want, I'm not interested in recruiting executioners."

The two were chatting, when dust rose again in the wilderness in the distance.

A couple of cowboys with rifles escorted a wagon to this direction, behind which hung a wooden cage, and several ragged prisoners bound in chains, jolting with the cage.

Seeing that another cowboy appeared, Lin Chi and Blood Blade both subconsciously put their right hands into their backpacks. However, the news in the wilderness is not well-understood, and the cowboy here obviously does not realize that the three men who appeared in front of him have just slaughtered their companions in the south of the wilderness not long ago.

"Hey, boy, you're here to rob the prison? Giving away heads with two women? The blonde cowboy who rode ahead laughed.

Hearing this, Lin Chi thought that the Blood Blade would attack immediately. But this time, the girl's performance was beyond his expectations:

"We're here to watch the execution." Bloody Blade smiled sweetly, tilting his head with an "innocent" look: "Can you let us see?" ”

As soon as these words came out, several death row inmates in the car who had just raised their heads lowered their heads weakly again, and the heavy iron chains on their bodies clanged.

"Watch the execution? It's a peculiar hobby......" The blonde cowboy turned his head to an old man in the crowd and asked, "Is that okay?" Top dog. ”

"Yes, but don't think about acting rashly, if you dare to pull out a gun, I will shoot you in the head."

As soon as the gray-haired old cowboy finished speaking, he suddenly snapped two shots and struck the sand not far from the bloody blade, shattering the head of a poisonous snake.

"Yes." Lin Chi applauded approvingly.

- Fast gunners are rife in the American West, cowboys pride themselves on pulling out their revolvers and firing at a speed that is absolutely the best in the wilderness!

The speed at which the old man drew his gun just now was crazy, even Lin Chi didn't see him firing clearly, judging from the surprised expression of the blood blade, this killer was also confused at this time.

"Put your hand where I can see." The old man coughed: "If you want to watch the execution, you must do what I say." Do you understand? ”

“Yes-sir。” Lin Chi said with a smile.

The two players give up their guns and ride their horses to follow the cowboys as they follow the prisoner cart to the wilderness north.

Lin Chi had a hunch: The executioner in charge of the execution here was probably the person the ancient gods were looking for. As long as you use your hands and feet during the "onlooker execution", it should not be difficult to kill the cowboys and executioners here.

- Isn't it really difficult?

Circumnavigating a low hill and seeing the picture behind the hillside, Lin Chi began to doubt his thoughts:

What appeared in front of everyone was a small village made up of wooden houses. It looks much more normal than the previous Indian village, but ......

Noticing the mountains of white bones piled up in the wooden house, and the window frames made of human bones, Bloodblade's eyes suddenly widened.

"Artwork." Andrea whispered.

If the totem pole made of the Blood Blade is a "hunting art" that only a few people can appreciate, the bone objects in this village are the mainstream orthodox art. The people who built these houses used human bones to the fullest, and the neat row of skeletons outside the wall and the exquisite murals made of ribs spliced together made even Lin Chi see some beauty.

"Scared, right? Little girl. The blonde cowboy whistled mockingly: "Anyone who comes here for the first time will become like this." ”

"You built it?" Lin Chi asked.

"It's not us, it's the man who lives here." The blonde cowboy mysteriously sold Guanzi: "Don't worry, you're going to see him soon." ”

The cart made its way slowly along the only road in the village, and finally came to a stop in the square in the middle of the village, where the cowboys opened the wooden door of the cage and dragged the four prisoners out and threw them onto the soft sand.

When facing death, the vast majority of people will become very weak, and these death row inmates are no exception, one by one they fell to the ground and trembled, and they didn't even have the strength to stand up.

The carriage stopped next to the house at the corner of the square, and the old cowboy, who had fired extremely fast, took out a piece of sweat-soaked letter from his leather coat pocket and began to read the words aloud:

"James. Sunderland, Carl. Johnson...... The four of you who have robbed and murdered in the wilderness and committed all kinds of evil will be executed here according to the laws of the United States of America. Heaven has given you the right to speak, but do you have anything else to say before you die? ”

"I ...... Think...... Return...... Family. A prisoner exerted all his strength, but only a faint sound came out.

"Okay, looks like you don't have much more to say." The old cowboy took a step back and snapped his fingers: "Hertimer! It's time to get to work. ”

"Hmm......"

A heavy muffled grunt came from a bone house on the west side of the square, followed by equally heavy footsteps.

Knock, knock.

Hearing the terrifying footsteps, the four death row inmates trembled even more.

With the exception of the four poor men who were about to be executed, everyone present looked in the direction where the voice came:

"Is there still a Gundam in this era?" Lin Chi raised his eyebrows.

Coming out of the room was a three-meter-tall "giant" covered in rusted armor, the guy's metal armor was stained with blood, and he held a broad-bladed butcher's knife in each hand, dragging it on the ground with a piercing grinding sound.

The executioner's head wore a pointed beak mask in the shape of a bird's head, the back of his head was decorated with black feathers, and his tall and thin body exuded an ominous aura.

And when this guy appeared, Lin Chi and Blood Blade's eyes also popped up red text at the same time:

Hertimer, executioner. Heroic NPCs (boss level), not recruitable.

Seeing the executioner appear, Andrea's expression softened a lot, as if she was nostalgic for the good old days. Lin Chi and Blood Blade glanced at each other, and they both saw the meaning of "kill him" on each other's faces.

"Is that him?" The Blood Blade leaned over to Lin Chi and asked.

"I don't know, but I don't think his title should be 'strong warrior'." Lin Chi whispered.

Despite encountering a boss fight in this corner, the two players did not panic. According to the instructions of the old gods, they are already ready to face the boss.

However, if you really want to go to war, you must first deal with the "miscellaneous soldiers" around the execution ground, and the most troublesome of them is undoubtedly the old cowboy who shot just now.

Lin Chi stopped in place and didn't move, his eyes moved left and right slightly, observing the cowboys present, only to see that those people were all eyeing each other at this time, ready to deal with any battle.

"Can you knock them out?" Lin Chi whispered to the Blood Blade.

"Andrea can." Bloodblade whispered in response.

"Don't whisper,......" the old cowboy glared at the two of them, and then ordered, "Everyone, dismount now." ”

In addition to the trio who had just dismounted, the cowboys present also dismounted and drew their guns to carry out guard work near the execution site.

Clang!

The armored giant, whose name was Hetimer, suddenly slammed into each other with a large knife in his hands, causing the four death row inmates to tremble as if they were sifting chaff, and one of them howled in despair.

- What is the situation with this executioner?

Watching Hertimer dance and prepare before the execution, Lin Chi immediately realized that the tall and thin "monster" was not preparing, but performing some strange ritual, or rather celebrating.

Sometimes, people are not without "talent", but they are born in the wrong era. If a guy like Hertimer had been born in peacetime, he would have been a patient in a mental hospital or imprisoned.

But in the American West in the late nineteenth century, this extraordinary brutality was needed to deter the presence of criminals. Judging by the way Hettimer shook his arms, it was clear that he was already familiar with the road.

"I'm going to ...... Here we go. A shrill voice floated out from under the crow's mask, just like the muffled grunt it had just been.

- The executioner is a woman?

Hearing the other party's voice, Lin Chi suddenly realized that he had guessed wrong. Hertimer is not a "cold hunk", but a tall woman!

“……”

Realizing that the executioner was a woman, the smile on Andrea's face suddenly disappeared. The Blood Blade also took a step back, as if it was a little surprised.

"I thought it was the man in charge of the execution." Bloodblade whispered.

"There aren't that many rules in the wasteland, and women can do that, and she loves the job." The old cowboy said seriously: "Didn't you two women also come out to 'see the world'?" ”

"I just didn't expect it." Lin Chi explained.

- An unusually tall woman with a butcher's knife in her hand, who he seems to have encountered in some other game before. However, because the age is too old, Lin Chi can't remember what kind of game a similar character has appeared in for a while.

"Do you want to do it now?" Lin Chi winked at the Blood Blade.

"Wait a minute, I want to finish it." Bloodblade shook his head.

Although it is only a game on the surface, the level of realism in War Paradise is not comparable to that of ordinary brain imaging games, and the killing and execution of people in this game can occasionally be fantastic.

Famous writer George. Orwell once wrote an essay called "Execution", and a passage in it can completely summarize Lin Chi's current feelings:

"It wasn't until then that I understood what it meant to kill a healthy and sane person. It was a strange thing, and when I saw the prisoner leaning sideways to avoid the puddle, I realized what it meant to strangle a man in the prime of life, and that it was an unspeakable mistake. This man is a living person like us, not a person who is dying in pain. All the organs in his body are working: the intestines are digesting, the skin is renewing, the nails are growing, the tissues are forming, all of which are busy with a clear division of labor. He stood on the gallows, a tenth of a second from the end of his life, his nails still growing. His eyes could still see the yellow stones and the gray walls, and his mind was still remembering, foreseeing, thinking, and even thinking of the stagnant water. He is the same as us, seeing, hearing, feeling, and understanding the same world, but after two minutes, he will go forever with a "snap", go to another world, and his soul will pass away with the wind. ”

Under Lin Chi's gaze, Hertimer came to the side of the four death row inmates, and the butcher knife began to slowly approach the body of one of the death row inmates, and the movements of his hands were extremely smooth, without a trace of trembling, as if they were robots handling pork in a modern slaughterhouse.

"Don't move, be good, obedient......" Hertimer said in an uncomfortable, shrill voice.

"Help me......" The death row inmate raised his hands in despair.

Click!

With a crisp sound, the death row inmate's hands left his wrists, and black and red plasma spurted out of the fracture, and he was stunned at first, and only after two seconds did he start screaming. The other three were so frightened that they crawled to the side.

Unlike normal executions, the death row inmates here seem to be extraordinarily "relaxed", with nothing to hold their heads in place and no one to hold down their shoulders. On the contrary, after Hetimer made a move, the chains on the death row inmates fell off.

"What's going on?" Lin Chi stared at the empty execution ground with a frown.

"Battle Royale." Bloodblade said.

"Run!" Hertimer put down his two butcher knives and shouted, "Run away in this village!" If you can escape here, you will have a chance to survive! ”

At this time, the cowboys in the square didn't know where to hide, and seeing that Hertimer's mask was facing him, Lin Chi pointed to his chest: "Are you talking about us?" ”

"You are just like them, part of the game!" Hertimer shouted.

Then, a dangerous text popped up in front of Lin Chi's eyes:

The preconditions have been completed, and the boss battle "Escape" has been triggered.
