Chapter Eighty-Eight: Justice
Chen Fan slammed his feet, and the whole person jumped up like a rocket, and at the same time, his left palm slapped fiercely on the forehead of the fireworks beast.
The Flame Beast was hit hard by this, and its body suddenly froze, and it froze in place.
Chen Fan fell from the air to the ground, and his nervous mood calmed down, but just when Chen Fan had just relaxed, the fireworks beast suddenly changed!
"Roar!" There was a roar that shook the sky, and tyrannical flames surged out from the Fireworks Beast's body, and in an instant, it seemed that the entire underground cave was filled with those flames, and at the same time, the Fireworks Beast showed its hideous face, and pounced towards Chen Fan with its teeth and claws.
Chen Fan's brain suddenly went blank, he didn't know what was wrong, was the power of the fireworks beast too powerful, or was he too light? However, now the responsibility of pursuing all this was completely meaningless, a sharp pain hit his body, and the flames seemed to penetrate into his body as if they were pervasive, but Chen Fan didn't have the feeling of being burned, and he didn't even feel a trace of heat.
Chen Fan screamed and fell to the ground, but soon he found that the fireworks beast had disappeared! Gradually, the pain in his body gradually lessened, and Chen Fan slowly got up from the ground.
"What happened just now?" Suddenly, Chen Fan's left hand hurt, and when he looked down, he found that a piece of ice the size of a soybean grain had condensed on the back of his left hand. The ice cube seemed to be combined with his own flesh and blood, and even some extremely slender blood streaks could be faintly seen in the ice cube, which made Chen Fan feel quite weird: it was definitely not an ordinary ice cube, although it was solidified on the back of Chen Fan's hand, but there was no sign of melting at all.
"Forget it, don't care about what you don't understand, just survive. Chen Fan let out a long breath and turned his attention to something else. As if it had lost its drive, the restless magma gradually cooled down and condensed into black-brown stones, and the ice that the firework beast spat out gradually melted, turning into a trace of mist and dissipating into the air.
Luo Qingyun and Yue Wuya came to their senses, staggered off the iceberg, grabbed Chen Fan and asked, "What about the monster?
Chen Fan said with surprise on his face: "You don't know?"
Both shook their heads at the same time.
Chen Fan was shocked in his heart, secretly thinking that the two of them might have been bewitched by the fireworks beast, so they lost consciousness temporarily, he shook his head, and just wanted to speak again, at this time, a large number of ice blocks around him made a "sizzling" sound, completely turned into mist, all the magma was solidified, and there was silence in the cave.
Luo Qingyun suddenly thought of something, and asked suspiciously: "Hey, what about the person who caught me?"
"I don't know, I haven't seen it, maybe I'll be burned to death in magma. Chen Fan said very uncertainly, he knew the ability of the mysterious man, no matter how he said that guy was also a super strongman, I am afraid that a mere fireworks beast would definitely not be able to trap him.
Luo Qingyun **, holding his head in his hands and saying, "I'm confused, today's things are really like a dream." ”
"Forget it, let's get out of here first, and we'll go back to talk about anything first. Chen Fan was uneasy, lest the mysterious person suddenly appear out of nowhere. Although his strength has increased to a certain extent, he is not skilled and inexperienced after all, and if he encounters that mysterious person again, his side will definitely not be able to escape the fate of being captured.
The wind was howling, on a cliff.
The rocks on the edge of the cliff have been beaten by wind and rain, the color is slightly brown, and the surrounding birds and beasts are extinct, and there is no sound, which makes people feel an indescribable depression.
Suddenly, a hand reached from below, grabbed the edge of the cliff, and then the owner of the hand struggled to hold his body up.
The person who came was Chen Fan!
Chen Fan's clothes were in tatters, almost all of them were about to turn into strips of rags, and his skin was covered with countless abrasions—all of them were injuries he had caused while climbing the cliff, but fortunately, because there was Xiao Zhou Tianxing Dou in his body constantly replenishing his vitality, it wouldn't take long for this small injury to heal automatically.
Chen Fan, who had worked hard to crawl, fell to the ground at once, but he didn't care about resting, and took a few steps forward before stopping. A thick rattan was tied around his waist, and after being untied, he was tied to a large tree on the edge of the cliff.
It didn't take long for Luo Qingyun and Yue Wuya to climb along the rattan.
"Whew! Finally escaped!" As soon as he came, Yue Wuya lay on the ground, saying that he didn't want to say anything.
Luo Qingyun still took care of his image and found a stone to sit on, but he was also tired to death, gritted his silver teeth and said: "What a hateful guy, he actually brought us to this deep valley, fortunately Chen Fan is here, otherwise we are afraid that we will die in that valley." ”
Chen Fan looked around and sighed: "Don't be too happy, it's hard to say if we can leave this forest." ”
Looking up, the tall forests are lush and green, and the mountains, canyons, and forests that used to be superb scenery have now become a headache in the eyes of the three people.
"I'm so hungry...... Luo Qingyun's stomach rumbled, she looked up at the sky, it was already noon, and she couldn't help but sigh and said: "We haven't eaten since yesterday, plus we have been running around, if I continue like this, I will starve to death......" Luo Qingyun even became a little weak to speak.
"Me too!" Yue Wuya stood up and made a round, and said with a wry smile: "I don't know what the reason is here, there are no birds and beasts at all, why don't we go and see if there are any wild fruits nearby?"
Chen Fan and Luo Qingyun nodded in agreement at the same time: "It's okay!"
Chen Fan and the others had just gone through a life and death process, and the three of them hadn't slept much for a long time, so they kept yawning all the way.
After walking for about half a day, the three of them finally walked out of the forest, and their eyes suddenly became wide and cheerful.
In front of everyone is a prairie, probably due to the change of seasons, now the grass on the grassland is plated with a layer of gold, and the endless golden plain stretches into the distance, so beautiful.
This plain borders the sea, which may be dark and melancholy, probably because of the dark clouds on the sea. At the junction of the grassland and the sea, there is a large castle towering here, and the gray walls surround the tall buildings, which is magnificent.
The tall gates were open, and carriage after carriage, caravans, came and went at the gates of the city, and above those wagons and behind them were not any treasures, but ragged, scrawny slaves. A discerning person will know that this is a seaport city, as many huge merchant ships can be seen moored around the city.
At this moment, Yue Wuya suddenly pointed to the sky above the city and exclaimed: "Brother Chen, Miss Luo, look, what is floating above the city?"
Chen Fan squinted upward, only to see three large ships floating in the sky above the city, each ship is about ten meters high, the area can be compared to seven or eight martial arts training grounds, and there are more than ten thick iron chains tied under each ship, those should be anchors.
Luo Qingyun only glanced at it, and then immediately replied: "I heard my father-in-law say before that those are the warships of the pirates, which have only been created in recent years, should be designed to avoid monsters on the sea. ”
"Pirates are coming to attack the city?"
"No!" Luo Qingyun said as he walked forward, "They came here to buy slaves, and they didn't mean to fight. ”
Chen Fan followed and continued to ask, "Do they often buy slaves?"
"Come about once a month, and buy about a thousand slaves at a time. ”
"One thousand, and every month?" Chen Fan exclaimed, "Why do they want so many slaves?" "A thousand slaves is indeed not a small number, and if they come every month, that number is very large.
"Tribute. ”
"Sacrifice, sacrifice what?"
Luo Qingyun gritted his teeth and said, "They are using these living slaves to pay tribute to a monster living in this sea area, the Dahan Beast. ”
"Dahan Beast?" Chen Fan exclaimed again: "Isn't Dahan Beast just a legendary creature?
Luo Qingyun shrugged his shoulders and said, "Who knows this?"
At this point, several people were not in a good mood, so they stopped talking, and several people continued to move towards the city.
After walking for about half an hour, the group of three finally arrived at the gate of the city.
Along the way, Chen Fan saw one tragic scene after another, and the picture of those slaves approaching death step by step with heavy steps under the drive of leather whips was really shocking. Those eyes that have long lost their original luster because of torture reflect nothing but pain and despair, and the blood marks on their bodies reflect what kind of inhumane treatment they have received.
Compassion is constantly rippling in Chen Fan's heart, Chen Fan himself used to be a small person in the market who is hated by everyone, he has been living at the bottom of the society, he deeply understands the pain and bitterness of slaves, and suffers from other people's punches and kicks every day, there is nothing wrong, that feeling is painful, but the source of pain does not come from these punches and kicks, but from the feeling of looking forward to being favored by others day and night but not getting it.
He really wanted to save them from the sea of suffering, but with the ability of a mortal, how could he do it? A feeling of hatred for himself took root in Chen Fan's heart.
"Chen Fan!" Luo Qingyun shouted three times in a row, and it wasn't until the fourth sound that Chen Fan heard it, and he was shocked from his contemplation.
As soon as he woke up, Chen Fan's ears felt a heart-piercing pain.
Luo Qingyun was twisting Chen Fan's ears and roared angrily: "Is your guy not having normal ears, I asked you so many times before answering me?"
"Oops... No... Qingyun, can you let it go first... ...... painfully" Chen Fan begged loudly for mercy, it seems that he is still early from his dream of having great power!
"Hmph, next time you dare to ignore my save, just wait. Luo Qingyun let go of Chen Fan's ears, walked into the city, and said, "Why don't you come soon?"
"Yes!" Chen Fan rubbed his ears that were twisted a foot wider, glanced at Yue Wuya with a wry smile, and muttered to himself while following behind Luo Qingyun: "Can't this guy look like a girl?"
Luo Qingyun turned his head suddenly: "What did you just say?"
"I ......" Chen Fan looked at Luo Qingyun's expression of wanting to eat people, and hurriedly shook his head and explained, "I... I just said that you are really a 'kind-hearted' beauty. ”
Luo Qingyun snorted, ignored Chen Fan, and walked into the city.
As soon as he entered the city, Chen Fan's first feeling was that it was a miasma of smoke, and it could be seen from the buildings that the polarization here was very serious.
Some of the buildings are ornately decorated, with rosy red and smooth floor tiles, which make them look very imposing, and there are figures in and out of silk and satin, and you can tell at a glance that they are either blessed or expensive. If you look at some of the other bungalows, no, they can't be called "houses" at all, they are like rubble left over from some air raids, and there are a few ragged people "living inside", which is really very sad.
The streets were crowded, crowded with groups of people—slaves—all in the same direction.
Chen Fan looked at the slaves and asked puzzledly, "Qingyun, where are they going?"
"You really don't know anything?" Luo Qingyun glanced at Chen Fan, and explained helplessly: "Tomorrow is a monthly day for pirates to choose slaves, once the slaves are chosen, those pirates will buy them at a high price, and slave traders from all over the world will of course come with the slaves they have collected to make money." ”
"Oh, where is the deal?"
"That's it!" Luo Qingyun pointed to the tall building in the center of the city: "That's the slave trading market, and the slave traders are going there to grab a stall now, and sell the slaves they brought with them as if they were selling goods." ”
"It's like selling goods!" Chen Fan silently repeated Luo Qingyun's words, and there were ripples in his heart: "Don't those slave traders treat slaves as human beings?"
"Of course!" Luo Qingyun said lightly, "You have to understand, this is the world now, they are not only threatened by sea beasts, but also persecuted by their own kind, this kind of world is simply ugly. ”
"......" Chen Fan clenched his hands into fists, speechless.
After a moment of silence, Chen Fan continued to ask, "Then where do you think we're going now?"
Luo Qingyun rolled his eyes helplessly: "Of course, I found an inn to live in first!"
As soon as she finished speaking, a rude voice came from behind: "Stop me ......"
Chen Fan, Yue Wuya, and Luo Qingyun immediately looked back, only to see a scrawny old man lying on the ground, surrounded by four big men who were punching and kicking the old man.
"Fuck you, I don't think you'll pay it back?"
"It's just looking for death!"
"You old immortal, how can you be reasonable, if you don't teach you a lesson, you don't know how powerful we are. ”
Chen Fan saw that the old man was bruised all over his body and the corners of his mouth were bleeding, so he said to Luo Qingyun, "Shall we go and save him?"
"Not good!" Luo Qingyun didn't think twice.
"Why?"
Luo Qingyun asked sharply: "We don't need to care about these idle things, besides, in this hell on earth, these scenes are commonplace at all, if you can save one, can you save all the suffering people in this city?"
"......" Chen Fan looked at the tragic situation of the old man being beaten, and thought of his experience of being beaten like this when he was in the outer tower, gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and an inexplicable energy surged up from the bottom of his heart, and he said quietly: "I must save him!"
Luo Qingyun scolded angrily: "Hmph...... Nosy. ”
"Wait a minute!" Chen Fan raised his left hand forward, crossed his waist with his right hand, put on a very stylish posture, and shouted loudly: "Don't you feel ashamed of so many of you bullying an old man?"
Of course, those big men were unhappy when they heard someone tell them to stop, they glared at Chen Fan with terrifying eyes, poked their fists while sneering shamefully: "Stinky boy, do you want to be a hero?"
Chen Fan didn't say a word, he punched the big man in the face, and with a random fist, the big man flew out for miles and hit the garbage can on the ground.
"Damn, you guy......" At this time, the other three big men also raised their fists and rushed towards Chen Fan.
Chen Fan thought to himself, what am I afraid of if you don't even have weapons? Chen Fan shouted, and threw three punches at the rushing big man, and the wind-like fist hit the chest of the three big men, and then, because of the power that erupted in the fist, the three big men's entire body flew out and fell to the ground.
Seeing the four big men lying on the ground and crying bitterly, Chen Fan crossed his waist angrily and said, "Let's see if you dare to be powerful here." ”
"Damn!" The big men didn't seem to have the intention of running away, although they were a little injured, but it was not fatal, they got up one after another, looked at Chen Fan and said: "Lao Tzu doesn't teach you a lesson today, can you still mix here?"
"Wait a minute!" at that moment, a girl's voice came.
Chen Fan exclaimed in surprise, "Qingyun, didn't you say you couldn't come?"
"Hehe......" Those big men saw Luo Qingyun walking over slowly, and said with a lewd smile on their faces: "Little girl, you look good, don't stir up trouble here, if you want the uncle to hurt, wait until I kill this stinky boy." ”
I didn't expect the other party to say such insulting words, Chen Fan's face sank, and the murderous intent paused, but before he could make a move, the subsequent Yue Wuya's palm was opened, and a fire sword was immediately formed, and then with a quick and incomparably fast wave, several large scars immediately appeared on the chests of the two big men, and a large amount of blood flowed out of the body, and then fell in a pool of blood without saying a word.
"You are looking for death!" Yue Wuya's words were extremely indifferent, and a murderous aura emanated from Yue Wuya's body, enveloping the entire area.
All the onlookers looked at this scene dumbfounded, none of them couldn't feel the murderous aura on Yue Wuya's body, everyone held their breath and condensed, and no one dared to make any sound, so on this crowded street, it suddenly seemed extremely quiet, and the atmosphere on the street was very unusual.
Seeing this, the remaining two big men wanted to escape, but their feet did not obey the call, and now they could only kneel on the ground and beg for mercy from Yue Wuyan.
"Get out, don't appear in front of me in the future!" Yue Wuya withdrew the sword in his hand, glanced at them, and then walked in front of Chen Fan.
After seeing that Yue Wuya no longer paid attention to them, the two big men picked up their companions who were lying on the ground, pulled their legs and ran.
