Chapter 40: Under the Fire and Hell
"Squeak... Boom! ”
The trunk of the tree slapped down like a giant hand of the fire demon, and suddenly set off countless sparks, and the heat wave was mixed with smoke and dust, and Jia Shengtao lay on the ground and buried his head in his arm.
Jia Shengtao coughed and opened his eyes with difficulty, the position that was pushed away just now was already a sea of fire at this time, and the attacking villagers and Leng Jue were gone.
The other villagers who wanted to come forward to surround them all fled in panic when they saw this scene.
At the last moment just now, Leng Jue pushed away his front and back feet, and the fire tree was pressed down. When Leng Jue pushed himself away, he may not realize that it was too late to dodge, just imagine that if he hadn't chosen to save himself first, Leng Jue, who sensed the danger in advance at the moment of falling, could have dodged completely.
If you don't have to push it in a way and pull Jia Shengtao to dodge together, counting Jia Shengtao's reaction time from perceiving to dodging, I'm afraid that both of them are in danger.
Jia Shengtao covered his nose and hurriedly got up to check, only to see that the fallen canopy was partially pressed against the knife-wielding villager just now, and at this time, the flames were burning on the person's body, which was already motionless.
"Cold..."
Just when Jia Shengtao was in a trance, a coughing sound suddenly came from the fire. Jia Shengtao was shocked, and his eyes followed the sound to look at the location of the tree trunk, and found that the tree trunk was not compacted to the ground, and there was still a large gap under the burning tree trunk. Immediately after that, half of his body stretched out from the gap, and he crawled out from below with great difficulty.
Jia Shengtao jumped forward, jumped over a few pinches of flames, grabbed Leng Jie's wrist and pulled it out forcefully. Jia Shengtao quickly extinguished the few flames on Leng Jue's back with his hands, steadied his shoulders and asked anxiously, "How is it?" You okay? "When I looked closely, I found that there was no external injury to the cold, but my hair and eyebrows were bent due to the heat, and a burning smell surrounded me.
Leng Jue stood up weakly, and reluctantly smiled bitterly: "Whew... Luckily... It's not disfigured..."
Jia Shengtao looked at the fallen tree, but fortunately the branches supported the canopy, so that the trunk of the tree did not compact the ground.
"Fortunately, you are in time, and if you take a slow step, I am afraid that you will not be stoned to death and be roasted to death...."
Jia Shengtao faced the coldness, and when he saw his almost burned eyebrows, he couldn't help but squeeze out a smile, and said: "If you save you, it will be even, if you burned me to death just now, it is estimated that I will not be comfortable in the future." ”
Leng Jue's once fair face was rubbed with a large area of scorched black at this time, looking at the broken glasses on Jia Shengtao's face, he was a little unbelievable about his actions just now, and he actually made his unexpected move in that fraction of a second, and he who usually deals with ghosts has already looked down on life and death, let alone will lend a helping hand to save others.
This lesson has given me a new perspective.
"Don't waste time! All of this place will soon be consumed by flames! Hurry up and make peace with Li Xumu, no matter what, you have to bet on that well, both horizontally and vertically will die! If you're wrong, jump in and drown! ”
After Jia Shengtao finished speaking, he helped Leng Jue around the piles of flames on the ground and walked in the direction of the front of the house.
On Li Xumu's side, he was in a stalemate with several villagers.
Li Xumu put Lu Xiaoyi in his arms to the ground, pulled out the steel knife on Qiao Ye's back, and pointed at the villagers led by the bald ones and shouted: "Qiao Ye is dead!" Why do you want to cling to him? Now in this situation, let's take care of each other's lives! ”
Bald looked at Qiao Ye's dead body on the ground, and then looked at the increasingly fierce fire nearby, the weapon in his hand lowered a little, and his eyes were a little shaken.
The bald man was just about to open his mouth to speak, when suddenly an axe slashed over, and before he could see clearly, he felt this cold axe pass through his neck, and the scenery in front of him suddenly rose, and his eyes spun in the air a few times, and finally fell to the ground, and the last glance was fixed on his empty shoulders.
Applejack kicked the bald, headless torso and shouted at Li Xumu, "What are you talking about!" These people are a bunch of crazy people! Kill directly the most straightforward! ”
Li Xumu saw the bald severed head quietly placed on the ground, his eyes were still round, and his mouth was slightly open as if there were still unspoken words. The moment the knife fell, Applejack actually chopped off a person's head cleanly, not daring to recall that she had fought with such a person.
When the villagers next to them saw this, they were all frightened, and they dropped their weapons and fled in all directions.
At this time, Luo Qing had already come to his senses, roared and propped himself up, and Ah Fang and the little girl on the side hurriedly mixed it up. Luo Qing's low roar was full of mourning, but more of it was anger. I saw him dragging something in front of his face with one hand, and when he looked closely, he found that there was an eyeball on his face.
Applejack's punch just now was really powerful, and the punch directly knocked out one of Luo Qing's eyeballs without eyelids, Luo Qing roared and stood up, and the eyeballs connected by the blood vessels and nerves were flicked and hung on the side of his teeth.
Applejack and Li Xumu were shocked by the terrifying face.
"! What monster?! Applejack spat and grabbed her axe and rushed over.
Li Xumu stood where he was and didn't want to participate in this battle, strictly speaking, these people present were not good people, and they didn't want to fight pointlessly on whose side.
Applejack rushed over and was about to raise the axe and slash at the head of the rotten face, but in the process of running, the girl with her crooked neck suddenly stood in front of Luo Qing, and her strange appearance made Applejack feel startled again, just when she was distracted, Luo Qing behind the girl grabbed Applejack's arm holding the axe, and let out a terrifying laugh.
At this moment, Fong is holding a dagger and screaming and pounces on Applejack.
"Not good!" Applejack panicked and tried to dodge, but Luo Qing dragged her arm to the death, looking at the face covered with rotten flesh, because she broke free and swayed, the hanging eyeballs on her face swayed from side to side, and finally broke off and fell to the ground. The black eye sockets were no different from skeletons at all, and blood oozed from the black hole's eye sockets, but Luo Qing's mouth still kept oozing laughter.
"Poof!" The dagger plunges directly into Applejack's waist.
"Grass!" Ajie roared angrily, kicked Ah Fang, who was hugging her waist, out a few meters away, and at this moment broke free from Luo Qing's restraints, and directly retreated to Li Xumu's side in a few big strides, covering the wound on her waist with a painful face and asking Li Xumu why he didn't help?
Applejack lifts her vest and examines the injury, revealing that the dagger isn't deep enough. Ah Fang's weak body, it seems that the strength of the penetration is not very large.
Li Xumu didn't reply, but the movement at the gate of the courtyard attracted his attention, the fire at the gate of the courtyard was gradually extinguished, several villagers stood in a row and took turns passing buckets, and there seemed to be people outside the courtyard helping them, using sand and soil to extinguish the flames one by one.
Luo Qing glanced at Ah Fang, who fell to the ground, and did not help, and his attention was also attracted by the exit that was about to be opened.
"You guys...! Ruined my plan for revenge....! Luo Qing trembled with anger, because he knew that the villagers in this courtyard would soon be saved.
The failure of this plan Luo Qing completely blamed Li Xumu and others for the failure. But by now it was too late, and when the last flame at the exit of the courtyard was extinguished, it was also the time when all hope was dashed. Luo Qing was discouraged, and at this moment, he knelt on the ground in despair, and after a violent cough, a pool of blood spit out from under his body.
"It's over... It's all over... It would have been nice to kill him in the cellar at that time ... It would be nice if I hadn't been knocked out for so long..."Luo Qing knelt on the ground weakly, muttering unwillingly.
At this time, Jia Shengtao and Leng Jue also rushed over and told Li Xumu all the reasoning findings. Li Xumu frowned and looked at the well, a little skeptical.
Applejack on the side sneered when she heard this, and her expression turned angry: "Are you saying that jumping into a well is a way to escape here?!" Hahaha! When tm I'm a fool?! If you want to die, don't pull Lao Tzu! What a bunch of maniacs. Ajie lost her mind a little at the moment, spit in front of Li Xumu, stared at Li Xumu viciously and said, "We are not the same kind of people at all, your life and death are up to you, and Lao Tzu will no longer accompany you!" As he spoke, he picked up Lu Xiaoyi, who was in a coma, put his arm on his shoulder, and carried the person on his back.
The moment she stood up, Applejack endured the pain in her lower back, gritted her teeth and walked to the entrance of the courtyard.
"Really leave them alone?" Jia Shengtao looked back at Li Xumu, and at this time, Li Xumu's attention was all on Luo Qing, who was in a state of collapse. Luo Qing, who had only one eyeball left, knelt on the ground, still unable to accept such a result, and tears slowly oozed from around the only eyeball. Li Xumu could feel his pain, and those unbearable past events must have flashed in Luo Qing's mind at this moment, and now he felt a little sympathetic when he saw him like this.
"Let them go, and behold, the flame at the door is extinguished." Leng Jue pointed in that direction.
Jia Shengtao followed and looked at the gate of the courtyard, and found that the person who assisted the villagers outside the courtyard to extinguish the fire was actually Zhang Qi!
Zhang Qi covered his abdomen, waved his hand inside, and saw Ajie walking over with Lu Xiaoyi on his back, and greeted him proudly: "Big guy!" I said I had a point! Not long after you entered, I saw a fire and smoke billowing inside, so I quickly tried to put out the fire at the door. Did I save you? Zhang Qi shook his explosive head, and his spirit recovered a lot.
But Applejack passed by Zhang Qi without looking back, completely ignoring it.
"Huh? Why is this man like this? While Zhang Qi was still staring at Applejack, the villagers inside rushed out, almost knocking him down and becoming a dead ghost under his feet.
Applejack stops and lets the villagers pass by him, as a man walks slowly against the flow of people in front of him.
"Who are you? Don't get in the way of interest. Poof! Before he could finish speaking, a scythe was stuck squarely above his head. Ajie, who was carrying Lu Xiaoyi on her back, didn't expect this person to suddenly make a move without hesitation. Streams of heat flowed from the top of his head, his body went soft, and he fell to the ground with Lu Xiaoyi.
Jia Shengtao looked through the broken lenses and looked at the doorway, where a figure stood looking inside. Swinging his glasses, Jia Shengtao's body trembled.
"This man... It's Ma Xuan! ”
