Chapter 017: Du Peng

"Whew... Whoa—" The roar kept coming from behind.

Everyone on the fire rock was frightened, and they all tried their best to urge the fire rock to flee to the island. But the speed of the fire rock was far inferior to that of the fire qilin, and soon the divine beast chased after it a distance of dozens of zhang behind him.

The island is still a hundred feet away, and everyone has no choice but to die if this continues. The world knows how fierce the fire unicorn is, is it really going to be buried in this raging sea of fire, everyone feels a burst of sadness.

No one spoke, no one screamed, everyone silently struggled to stir the fire rock. Although he knew that he was going to die, no one gave up and was making the last struggle.

The fire rock is getting faster and faster, and the fire unicorn behind him is also getting faster and faster, and gradually the fire qilin chased four or five zhang away from the fire rock.

Just when everyone felt that they could no longer escape, Du Peng, who was standing at the end of the fire rock, suddenly laughed, laughing arrogantly.

In the midst of laughter, the No. 1 Ranger of Qi Kingdom stood up, kicked his feet on the fire rock, and shot at the galloping fire unicorn like a sharp sword.

The igneous rock was kicked by Du Peng with all his strength and floated forward rapidly. And Du Peng also flew to the top of the fire unicorn with this power.

Du Peng held the knife in both hands, and slashed towards the fire qilin from mid-air with the momentum of wind and thunder. There was a loud "clang" sound, and the dragon horns on the top of the fire unicorn collided with the long knife.

Du Peng only felt that an incomparably powerful force came from the dragon's horns, and the long knife almost came out of his hand. He clenched his long knife with all his might, and with the force of the impact, he flew up again and slashed at the body of the fire qilin.

The dragon's horn was slashed hard, and although it didn't hurt at all, it aroused the ferocity of the fire qilin. With a long roar, the divine beastman stood up to avoid the long knife that came diagonally, and stomped down with his two front hooves towards Du Peng.

Du Peng slashed his body and fell straight into the sea of fire, and he was about to fall into the magma and disappear. However, this person is worthy of being the number one ranger in Qi Country, and his skills are really powerful. Just as he was about to fall into the magma, he laid his long knife flat, and the blade of the knife slammed into the magma, and with this force, he rose into the air again and dodged the front hooves of the fire unicorn.

In the sea of fire, Du Peng surrounded the fire unicorn and kept jumping up and down. Every time he fell, he slapped the magma with a long knife and took off again. The long knife in his hand slapped the scorching magma again and again, and the blade quickly turned red. After a few breaths, the hands holding the hilt of the knife were already burning into puffs of smoke. But the good man didn't even snort, and his hands struggled to clench the long knife and desperately entangled the fire qilin.

The people on the fire rock were thrilled to watch, everyone was a master, and they knew that this style of play was the most physically demanding. Looking at Du Peng's current appearance, he has done his best. He was using his life to buy time for everyone to escape.

Waves of blood rolled, and the flames soared into the sky. Du Peng's roar and the howl of the fire unicorn hovered over the sea of fire. Everyone saw that Du Peng was covered with fire at this time, and his clothes and hair had been burned by magma. But it didn't stop at all, like a flying raging flame constantly rushing towards the fire unicorn.

Everyone's eyes moistened, this good man who had known each other for less than two days was struggling to support everyone in order to escape, and was using human flesh and blood to fight against the most powerful divine beast in heaven and earth. Several of his companions burst into tears. One of them struggled to jump into the lava to fight with him.

Yan Tiannan grabbed this already crazy warrior, and said in a solemn voice: "Du Daxia sacrificed his life to become a benevolent, do you want you to give your life in vain? Don't let him go worthless, live, we must live." ”

Everyone on the fire rock silently shed tears, gritting their teeth and desperately sliding the fire rock. They knew that no one could save Du Peng, and the only thing they could do was not to let this good man die in vain.

"Everyone, you cherish it, Du will go first. ”

The loud voice of the first ranger of the Qi country sounded again, he had exhausted the last trace of strength, and he no longer had the strength to slap the magma and take off into the air. Flying into the sky for the last time, he looked at his partner who was already far away, and the corners of his mouth showed a hint of relief.

The long knife had been taken off, and the bearded clothes had long since turned into ashes, Du Peng closed his eyes peacefully, like a scorching meteor across the sky and fell into the boiling lava.

......

The fire rock cleaved the waves and sailed towards the island, and the fire unicorn got rid of the entanglement and chased after it at a gallop. Du Peng used his life to buy time for everyone to count the breath, but it was far from enough. The fire unicorn was too fast, and it didn't take long for it to catch up not far behind the fire rock.

The island was close at hand, but the fire unicorn was also behind him. Everyone could already see the glittering golden scales on the beast's body and the raging flames that erupted between its breath.

At this moment, a pale blue light curtain suddenly erupted on the island. The light curtain expanded rapidly, quickly encircling the entire island.

An old voice came from the island.

"Evil beast, dare!"

With this old voice, a snow-bright ice arrow as thick as a child's arm pierced through the light curtain and flew towards the galloping fire qilin.

The ice arrow was as fast as lightning, and it was shooting directly at the front chest of the fire qilin.

With a wail, the invincible fire unicorn was shot into the air by this ice arrow and flew down dozens of feet away.

Although the bronze tendon and iron bone of this divine beast were shot over by the ice arrow, it was not too damaged, and it stood up after rolling in the magma for a few times. But it seemed to be terrified of the old voice. After wandering in the distance for a long time, he finally reluctantly turned around and ran into the depths of the sea of fire.

The igneous rocks had reached the shore of the island and entered the blue light film.

As soon as they entered the range of the light curtain, everyone felt that the temperature around them had dropped suddenly, and there was no longer the slightest heat. The cool breeze is blowing on the face, as refreshing and comfortable as being in the south of the Yangtze River in March.

The island is not big, but it is actually a giant igneous rock floating in a sea of fire. There was nothing around, except for a thin old man in a snow-white robe, white hair and white beard, sitting cross-legged in the middle of the island.

Obviously, it was this old man who drove away the fire unicorn just now. Everyone was extremely surprised, how could there be an old man in this desperate situation between heaven and earth. Moreover, this old man was so strong that he drove away the ancient divine beast Fire Qilin with a raise of his hand. Don't... Is he not mortal at all? Perhaps only a god can have such a terrifying ability, and can sit alone in this endless sea of fire so leisurely.

"Dare to ask the old man who is sacred? In Xia Yan Tiannan, thank the old man for saving his life. Yan Tiannan stepped forward and bowed.

The old man ignored Yan Tiannan and raised his head to look at everyone.

Everyone immediately felt that the old man's gaze was as sharp as two bolts of lightning, which made people tremble inexplicably, and infinite awe rose in their hearts.

"Hehe, the four major families are here. But alas, you came too late, and that thing has already been taken!" the old man suddenly said something inexplicable.

Yan Tiannan and the others didn't know for a while, so they didn't know how to answer. But Shi Ling'er and the Lu family brothers and several other people from the four major families seemed to understand what he meant. Hurriedly stepped forward and clasped his fists and saluted: "Dare to ask who the old man is, how do you know what we are going to take." ”

The old man smiled: "This world is so big, and there is something I don't know about the old man." The stump of the Chiyou has been taken away. You don't have to wait to look for it again, the old man doesn't know how many years have passed here, and he is lonely. Just stay with me. ”

"What! We're here to stay with you. What are you kidding, is this place for people? Qin Feng didn't care at all about what he said. But when I heard that I was going to keep myself in this damn place, I jumped in fear. “

The old man glanced at him and said slowly, "Of course, this is not a place for people, but what can it be." Anyway, you can't get out, either stay here with me, or be eaten by that fire unicorn. “

Everyone was stunned, was what the old man said true? Could it be that there is only one way to get out of this place, and there is no way out at all? Everyone felt a chill in their backs.

The old man seemed to have guessed everyone's thoughts, and said with a smile: "Since the construction of this hero's tomb, it can only enter but not exit. You can stay here with peace of mind, and you can accompany the old man to relieve his boredom. “

"Wait, didn't you just say that Chiyou's stump has been taken away? Qin Feng reacted the fastest, and immediately heard the contradiction in the old man's words.

The old man was obviously a little unhappy, and snorted heavily: "Who are you, how can you compare with that person." There is no place between heaven and earth where no one can go. “

Shi Ling'er seemed to have seen the origin of this old man, and she knew that this person would never talk nonsense. Since he can't get out, he should really can't get out. Shi Ling'er was anxious, and respectfully gave a big gift to the old man: "Old man, I am a member of the Shi family in the East China Sea, and I came to take Chiyou's stump on the order of the head of the family." I really don't know that this hero's grave can only enter and not exit. Now that Chiyou's stump is gone, we are trapped here again, and I wonder if the old man can find a way to get us out of here. “

The old man looked at Shi Ling'er and shook his head: "I know that you are the descendant of the Shi family in the East China Sea, and it stands to reason that I have an old relationship with your ancestors, and I should help you get out of trouble." But now that I'm trapped here myself, I can't get out, so how can I help you. “

After speaking, the old man slowly raised his hands. Only then did everyone see that his hands were firmly locked by two slender gold wires. One end of the gold wire is submerged in the igneous rock, I don't know how deep.

"It's... Be... Somebody could lock you here. Shi Ling'er was stunned and asked in a trembling voice. He had already guessed the identity of the old man in front of him, and he couldn't believe that there was still someone in heaven and earth who could imprison him here.
