Chapter 230: The Prophet
General Red Elephant is here at this time!
Wu Wenxu stood calmly in the queue, did not act rashly, but thought in his heart, the next step, how to play the death chess to live.
"Greetings to the Red Elephant General!"
The mayor of the town, who stood at the front of the opposite side, was the first to kneel, his head buried deep in the snow, and was silenced as the respectful and discreet greeting fell.
The voice of the town elder immediately woke up the sluggish and nervous crowd, the crowd began to kneel, and there was a continuous sound of greetings, Wu Wenxu lowered his head coldly, knelt on one knee, and began to carefully examine the famous general's team.
The Red Elephant General's ranks weren't grandiose, but the people of the town paled in comparison to the elite and vicious Ice Breeds.
Covered with dense white canvas, about six or seven wagons that had eaten deep in the snow left heavy ruts in the snow, and the snow constantly echoed with a long, subtle crunching sound, which made the villagers feel depressed for no reason, and the Red Elephant General's troops came silently, as if suddenly, they had descended at the entrance of the town.
Wu Wenxu roughly estimated that there were at least 200 people in this army with the banner of Min characters, and the soldiers who could cast magic definitely accounted for most of them, and what Wu Wenxu paid the most attention to was the man who was far ahead of the team, with his nostrils facing the sky, and wearing a bloated red robe.
"Untouchables, are the tributes ready?"
This guy in a bloated red robe was obviously the Red Elephant General, whose voice was high-pitched, and his triangular eyes scanned back and forth in the crowd, as if his purpose was not to pay tribute, but to be interested in the townspeople.
The town elder who was buried deep in the snow on his forehead looked up cautiously, and saw the fat general's eyes full of ****, his eyelids jumped suddenly, thinking that his back hand was ready, he couldn't help but put away the apprehension in his heart, and said respectfully: "General Qiqi Red Elephant, there are three hundred and sixty-three people in the town, and the tribute has been placed properly, please send someone to count it." ”
"Smack!"
A tenacious black whip suddenly whipped towards the mayor's head, except for Wu Wenxu, no one saw the trajectory of this black whip, but at this moment, the mayor of the town had already covered his cheeks in pain and rolled back and forth in the snow.
The red elephant rolled up the black whip with a contemptuous smile, and said in a strange manner: "A pariah should look like a pariah and dare to point fingers at this general, I think you, the mayor of the town, don't want to be a pariah anymore." ”
"The villain doesn't dare, the villain doesn't dare."
The tyrannical name of the Red Elephant General really deserves its name, with only one whip, half of the right side of the mayor's face will be cut out like a knife-edge bloody mark, deep and bone-like, without half a moon, it is absolutely difficult to cultivate.
Seeing the mayor trembling and begging for mercy on his knees, he didn't dare to wipe the blood off his face, Chixiang laughed coldly, these civilians are cheap bones, they don't teach a lesson, they never know that there is a sky outside the day, and there are people outside the people, the first time they come to this territory, they will leave an indelible impression in the hearts of the untouchables.
The red elephant triumphantly raised his white fat face, and shouted fiercely: "Come on, go and count the tribute for me." ”
After the Red Elephant said that, his arrogant attitude suddenly reined in, he turned his face sideways, and said respectfully to the two men beside him who were dressed in white and had always been unwavering: "Lord Prophet, I will trouble you in verifying the matter of the head. ”
The red elephant said very lightly, and Wu Wenxu, who kept a long distance, naturally couldn't hear what they said, but Wu Wenxu felt a very obscure power, a dangerous and deadly aura from these two men with stiff faces.
'The red elephant has a fiery temper, and the black whip he just swung out is mixed with fine flames, it should be a fire magician, so what kind of ability do these two men with strange runes engraved on their foreheads have? ’
"Do you know who the two men next to the red elephant are?"
Seeing the brutal character of the red elephant, Wu Wenxu still couldn't bear to push the girl next to him to the fire pit, the girl saw the man getting closer to her, wiped the tears from her eyes, and immediately whispered: "They are the prophets of the King of Min, responsible for counting the number of heads in various territories, I heard my father say that they have very magical powers, and even ...... Even to be able to communicate with God. ”
'Communicating with God?' ’
Wu Wenxu secretly narrowed his eyes, Valoran's bizarre things are countless, and now even he himself does not dare to assert whether there are gods in the world, but he is noncommittal, these gods who are used to hiding in the shadows, or who cannot appear for some reason, especially like to accept the worship of believers, and then give them special abilities.
The prophets dressed in the white robes of the sacred round neck slowly dismounted, their bodies seemed to be very light, and they stepped on the snow without leaving footprints!
The two of them kept their eyes closed and were silent, their lips pursed tightly without smiling, and with the stiff expression on their faces, it could be called a hideous meaning, and the two prophets walked towards the town so lightly, strangely like two ghosts.
The back of the prophet soon disappeared completely.
The whip given by the Red Elephant General to the mayor of the town did have the effect of killing chickens and monkeys, and the fat general with his nostrils facing the sky frightened all the townspeople, and they knelt in the snow and waited, and it became difficult to breathe.
In order to greet the Red Elephant General, the tribute was much higher today than in previous months, and the frightened townspeople were convinced that once the Red Elephant General counted the tribute, he would look at them differently, and as long as he sent the evil god away, all problems would not matter.
I don't know how long later, the ten Ice Descendants who were in charge of counting the tribute turned back, and the mayor covered his cheeks and watched as one of the Ice Descendants approached the Red Elephant General, kneeling in the snow, not knowing what to say.
General Red Elephant's originally triumphant eyes slowly became gloomy, he snorted heavily, but he glared at the kneeling mayor fiercely, only to hear General Red Elephant shout angrily: "Untouchables, you dare to fool General Ben!" ”
'Fooling? ’
'Impossible! Could it be that the mayor of the town missed it when he placed the tribute? ’
……
All kinds of complex emotions surged into the hearts of all the townspeople, and in the end, all thoughts swept through the body and converged into a torrent, which was a terrifying, desperate torrent!
"Smack!"
Another bloody whip fell on the face of the town chief, this time the black whip fell on the left side of the face, the burning and severe pain on the left side of the face, straight to the right side of the face of the exposed scar blood gushing like a spring, in an instant, the town mayor's face was covered with blood, the poor man fell in the red snow and convulsed, screaming non-stop.
"Father! Woohoo......"
Wu Wenxu covered the girl's mouth, and the hot tears quickly wet Wu Wenxu's palm, the girl whimpered and cried, and almost fainted when she saw her father's tragic condition.
The mayor of the town is indeed a not simple character.
Ordinary people endured these two whippings, and they had long passed out in pain, however, I don't know if it was because he was accustomed to suffering, or because of some kind of spirit that supported him, the mayor trembled and simply wiped the blood on his face with his sleeve, and said with great difficulty: "Lord Red Elephant, ten snow rabbits are worth a human head, and the old man dares to guarantee the lives of the whole town, and the tribute of our town cannot be less." ”
"Hmph, sharp-tongued pariah."
General Red Elephant snorted unhappily, and said with a cruel smile: "Ten snow rabbits are worth a human head, that was the rule a long time ago, next month is the worship of the gods of the City of Faith, Lord Min Tianwang hopes that you will give more tribute, so this month's tribute has risen to fifteen snow rabbits to one human head!" ”
"What, what!"
In the crowd, I don't know who screamed in dismay, and then the rapid scream became a scream!
In the dark crowd, a flaming townsman began to wail out of tears, the flames burned him to the ground, and he collapsed miserably in the snow, scattering the crowd, and soon the air was filled with the smell of burning......
A few townsfolk who screamed in horror ended up with the same woman at the same time, and in just a few breathers, there were more charred corpses in the cold snow!
No one, the face can still remain normal.
Seeing the apocalyptic scene in front of them, smelling the pungent smell of scorching and roasted meat, the townspeople trembled violently, and their bodies were soaked with cold sweat, and they felt that half of their feet had stepped into hell.
The Red Elephant General blew away the flames on his fingers lightly, without feeling ashamed or remorse for burning people to death.
He glanced at the turbulent townsfolk with a grim eye, and said with a smile that bordered on despair: "If you make noise without the permission of General Ben, you will end up like them." ”
General Red Elephant looked a little annoyed, pinched his nose, and said angrily: "What a bunch of ungrateful pariahs, Lord Min Tianwang took great pains to protect you, and even wanted to bargain with Lord Tianwang, without Lord Tianwang, you ants, where can you survive to this day?"
"The adults have taught you a great lesson."
The mayor's cheeks were bloody, and he squeezed out a flattering word.
General Red Elephant said with satisfaction: "That's right, of course, this general is merciful, the first time he came to your territory, he didn't want to kill them all, it was very simple to survive, but I don't know, do you know my Red Elephant General's hobby." ”
'I hope you don't mess with me. ’
Wu Wenxu's gaze was hundreds of times colder than that Red Elephant General!
Ice Ancestor's disdain for human life is simply outrageous, Wu Wenxu finally understood why the mayor of the town wanted to play that trick in a dark move, with the character of the red elephant, not to satisfy him, slaughtering the town, it is definitely not a joke
If the mayor wants to sacrifice other women, Wu Wenxu may not care, but he dares to beat Qin Yaoyao's idea, if the fat pig of the red elephant takes Qin Yaoyao away, he will let him taste the lesson of blood at all costs!
At this moment, the stiff situation seemed to have changed, and I saw the Red Elephant General beckoning to the mayor, who lowered his bloody face, and didn't know what to say in the red elephant's ear, and the red elephant general's gloomy face immediately became happy.
"Collect the tribute and prepare to go to the next territory."
