The anniversary of the death of Nakotai was held with great grandeur, and it seemed that the patriarch of the Tuba tribe really loved this youngest son. Of course, I am the most important sacrifice at this festival, and of course I attach great importance to it, and I am unequivocal.

The Tuba people have always had such a tradition, a murderer, as long as he has gone through the punishment of fire and water, can wash away the sins on his body, and fly to immortality with an innocent body. At the same time, the person he killed can also rest in peace.

That's why they put me in a water prison two days ago. And on top of this sacrifice, what I have to experience is naturally burning at the stake.

In the eyes of the Tuba people, it is already the greatest mercy of the patriarch to be able to have a chance to become a sacrifice like me, to cleanse my sins and ascend to the Immortal Heaven, and it is also the creation that I have cultivated in I don't know how many lifetimes.

My hands and feet were bound to a high cross with heavy chains, and I looked up to see on all sides Tuba, dressed in various costumes, armed with weapons and dressed in costume. In front of him was a blazing bonfire, and behind the bonfire, the Tuba patriarch sat in the center of the stands, with small eyes and white beards, looking a little kind. In the seats behind him, four equally tall and rugged men lined up, apparently his four sons. On the side of the stands, He Liancheng and Lou Xinyue sat side by side, looking like a couple with deep affection.

The distance was too far away, and the light of the bonfire kept swaying and flickering in the wind, and I couldn't really see the expression of He Liancheng. Behind him, the guards led by Su Li lined up in unison, **solemn. I took a cursory look, and it seemed like the whole guard was coming.

It seems that He Liancheng really attaches great importance to this sacrifice. I pulled the corners of my mouth at myself laughingly.

Glancing around, I spotted Dazhe's figure. He was hidden in the corner of the queue, but his eyes kept looking at me.

I've only been in the guard for ten days, and I'm usually a loner and not very social, so I can't talk about getting acquainted with anyone, and in the entire guard, only Dazhe is familiar with me. But for the fact that I have suddenly become a fine worker, and now I am tied here to worship the heavens, I think Da Zhe must be as surprised as the other members of the guard.

On the altar, the priest, dressed in gray robes and white beard, raised an eagle cane in his right hand and shouted, "When the hour comes, the festival begins!" ”

......The Tuba warriors around the altar blew the horns in their hands in unison, and their voices were high-pitched and loud, resounding through the sky.

I looked at this scene condescendingly, and the firewood piled up at my feet, but I didn't feel too much in my heart.

Soon the fire will be lit under my feet, and it will burn more and more fiercely, and the fire will begin under my feet and gradually engulf me, and finally I will die in front of him.

I had a chance to escape, but I gave up. Now that I have come to such an end, I don't regret it, but I have some regrets.

Following the priest's instructions, two tall and burly Tuba warriors, armed with torches, walked to the pyre at my feet, pressed their right hands to their chests, bowed their heads and recited a few words in silence, and then lit the firewood at my feet with the torches in their hands.

When the dry wood touched the flames, the flames soared high, and a burning sensation gradually came from under the feet, and then spread throughout the body. This was followed by a thick smoke that enveloped my entire body. The smoke choked on me, and I silently closed my eyes, finally blocking the handsome figure from view.

Yes, I have no regrets, only regrets. I regret that I told him my name seven years ago, but he has long forgotten it. I always wanted to tell him again, He Liancheng, my name...... It's called Ye Qinglan.

The fire was blazing beneath my feet, the smoke was thick around me, and a salty and wet liquid was slowly running down my cheeks. Since I learned seven years ago that I was jointly designed by several fellow brothers and sisters at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains, I no longer trust anyone, nor do I easily cry weakly, but I just practice hard and strive to become stronger.

But no matter how high my martial arts are, I can't break free from this heavy chain, let alone the fact that there are so many Tuba soldiers and clansmen here.

Just as I was no longer feeling the pain and my consciousness was drifting into chaos, an earth-shattering roar came into my ears, waking me up from my near-coma.

I struggled to open my eyes, and saw a red figure shoot towards me like an arrow from a string.

"Red Flame!" I screamed softly.

As soon as I finished speaking, Red Flame spread its hooves and galloped to my feet, shouting at me a few times, its big round eyes full of worry.

My heart warms. In this world, there may only be Red Flame, and I can trust it wholeheartedly.

"Chiyan, it's dangerous here, you go quickly." I used what little strength I had left, urging it to get out of the way. The Tuba are aggressive and cruel by nature, and are good at hunting all kinds of fierce beasts, and I am afraid that the red flame will fall into their hands.

Red Flame shook his head, let out a long roar, and then leaped to the fire at my feet, opened his mouth, and in a few strokes he sucked all the burning fire into his mouth. It didn't take long for the fire under my feet to be extinguished by it after a few deep breaths.

"Chiyan, what are you doing?" I cried out urgently, for fear that he would hurt himself in order to save me.

However, to my surprise, Red Flame turned to face the Tuba soldiers who were gradually surrounding us, and opened his mouth to let out a fierce roar, followed by a ball of fire erupting from its mouth and shooting straight at the Tuba people on the other side.

"Ahh Several of the Tuba who were sprayed by the fire immediately jumped up and down, screaming and screaming.

Not to mention the other Tuba people around him who were shocked, even those in the stands couldn't sit still, and they all stood up and looked down the field.

Being able to use fire with ease is an innate ability of fire, but this ability can only be possessed by adult firefighters. It seems that Chiyan has grown up. I was overwhelmed with relief.

Red Flame was firmly in front of me like a patron saint, its mane standing on end, and its nostrils snorting, showing its anger at the moment. Perhaps frightened by its breath of fire just now, the Tuba people did not dare to get too close, and could only surround us from a distance.

Without the scorching fire under my feet, I felt much more relaxed. While Red Flame was confronting the Tuba people, I closed my eyes and breathed secretly, gradually recovering some of my spirits. After opening his eyes, he suddenly saw that in the stands, a burly man was bending his bow and arrows, aiming in the direction where Chiyan was.

The big man was sitting with Zabu just now, thinking that he should be one of the sons of the patriarch.

I was shocked and shouted, "Red Flame, get out of the way!" ”

However, before I could finish this sentence, the long arrow in the big man's hand had already shot out with a "boom", with a fierce momentum and amazing speed.

I was so anxious, but I had no choice but to scream for Red Flame to dodge. However, Chiyan mistakenly thought that the arrow was aimed at me, and stubbornly blocked in front of me, refusing to leave.

I struggled to break free from the chains, but to no avail, and just as I was on the verge of despair, I saw another arrow fly out of the slash.

The second arrow was even more powerful and faster, and the arrow shot straight into the body of the first arrow.

"Smack!" The two arrows collided and flew past my eyes and landed on the ground not far from the Red Flame.

I breathed a sigh of relief and looked up at the grandstands. The big man who shot the first arrow just now was looking angrily at He Liancheng, who was standing on the other side, and said angrily: "The surname is He, what do you mean by this?" ”

I was slightly stunned. So, the second arrow just now turned out to be sent by He Liancheng?

"Brother Temur, shoot the ancient divine beast at the festival, aren't you afraid of being damned?" He Liancheng handed the longbow in his hand to Su Li behind him, glanced at the big man with a calm face, and said lightly.
