Chapter 3 Chen Lin
The intense fire shone over the mine for half an hour, and for the next three days, the entire mine was in a suffocating heat, and clumps of hot gas erupted from the mine, filling every corner of the mine.
Three days later, an earth-shattering shout sounded in the mine, the pillar of light soared into the sky, the wind and clouds changed drastically, and the slaves in the mine were prostrate on the ground, as if they were greatly oppressed in their hearts, and endless fear was generated.
"What a strong momentum!"
The old man was also prostrate on the ground with the slaves around him, but his face was not full of fear, but shock!
Juyan broke through the mountain, forming a formation in his palm, taking all the scorching energy for his own use, not missing any chance to become stronger.
"Master, the movement here is too big, Yanling will know soon." Ju Yan's henchman said to him.
"It's okay, there's no one left to stop me."
"Now, follow me to Yanling!"
……
On the barren red plains, the first rays of morning light shone from the horizon, and it was dawn.
It's been half a month since Chihuang escaped from the mine, and these days he has been able to get out of a farther distance than ever by catching some red rock rats to satisfy his hunger, which is what he has always dreamed of.
After getting out of the Crimson Mountains, I finally found a path on this plain, and if you follow this path, you may be able to find people.
From morning to dusk, on the horizon at the other end of the plain, the setting sun stained the sky red, connecting with the red earth, like the end of the world.
A small figure kept moving forward until the sky was gray and night fell.
Chihuang was already hungry, and in a trance, he seemed to see a halo of light, polished his eyes and looked at it again, and sure enough, it was the light.
In the vast darkness, no matter how small these lights are, they also bring hope to Chihuang.
Seeing a light in the distance, Chihuang suddenly swept away his tiredness, quickened his pace, and walked in that direction in three steps and two steps.
In Xishan Town, the stone tablet on the side of the road is engraved with these three words.
When Chihuang walked into the town, there was no one on the street, and the lights in the house began to go out, it seemed that it was late, and everyone in the town was ready to rest.
Stone carvings with firebirds can occasionally be seen along the road, and wooden planks with firebird totems appear from time to time under the eaves.
This is the totem worshiped by the Red Demon Clan.
A long time ago, the Red Demon Clan was the master of the three states in the southern border, and all the clans were attached to it, and there were many heroes. Now that the glory of the Red Demon Clan is gone, it has become a remnant of the people, no one dares to call itself the Red Demon Clan anymore, and there is only an insignificant Red Clan left on the southern land, scattered into hundreds of tribes large and small, and many clansmen have been conscripted as slaves and trampled on by those strong clans.
Chihuang continued to walk inside, looking around as he went, trying to find some food to satisfy his hunger, and when he came to an open place, he finally saw a figure.
At the flickering lights, more than a dozen people were cleaning up a fighting platform, and one of the kind-looking middle-aged men stood on the stage to command.
Chihuang took a closer look, and found nothing that could relieve his hunger, so he walked away holding his stomach.
On the martial arts platform, the middle-aged man suddenly noticed Chihuang and was surprised, at this point in time, the residents of the town should have fallen asleep, whose disobedient child had a conflict with his parents again?
The man walked quickly to Chihuang and stopped the latter: "Little guy, why haven't you come home so late?" ”
Chihuang turned his head to look at the person who appeared behind him at some point, and said, "I don't have a home. ”
"No home?" The middle-aged man was slightly surprised, "Aren't you from Xishan Town?" ”
"No, I just got here." Chihuang replied very directly.
"Oh, that's right." The middle-aged man immediately understood, he heard that a few days ago, there was a drastic change in the Ghost Yan Clan, the Ghost Yan Clan changed hands, and the new owner increased the exploitation and oppression of the Chi tribe, resulting in many Chi tribes being unable to continue to survive, and the tribe members became refugees.
The boy in front of him should be one of the refugees, but it is rare that he has escaped to this remote and barren place.
At this time, Chihuang's stomach rumbled twice, and the middle-aged man saw that Chihuang's face was extremely bad, presumably he had been hungry for a long time, so he took out a palm-sized piece of jerky from his pocket and handed it to Chihuang.
"I'm hungry." The middle-aged man had a kind face and smiled at Chihuang.
Chihuang immediately ignored the others, and ate the piece of jerky into his stomach in two bites.
"Thank you." Chihuang looked at the middle-aged man, and a warmth welled up in his heart.
"You're welcome, my name is Chen Lin, what about you? What is your name? ”
"Chihuang."
"Little one, you have nowhere to go now, how about joining my hunting team, I can't guarantee anything else, but I will never let you go hungry." Chen Lin extended a kind invitation to Chihuang.
Chihuang didn't know what the hunting team was, but when he heard that he didn't have to go hungry anymore, he agreed.
Chen Lin returned to the crowd with Chihuang and introduced Chihuang and his origins to the others.
Hearing that Chihuang was a homeless refugee, everyone expressed sympathy, they knew that Chen Lin had a good heart, most of them were taken in by Chen Lin, and Chihuang's participation made them feel cordial.
After everyone cleaned up the martial arts platform, they returned to their residence, which was a simple wooden house, where Chihuang and Chen Lin slept together, and the three women slept in another room.
Chihuang, who was used to sleeping on the cold floor, was still a little uncomfortable for a while, but he felt very comfortable, and he quickly fell asleep after being sleepy.
Early the next morning.
Everyone got up early, had a simple breakfast, and went to the martial arts platform in the middle of the town.
Chen Lin told Chihuang that they were recruiting young and strong people to hunt fierce beasts in the depths of the mountains, and that today was the last day, and they would set off tomorrow.
Chihuang wondered why he risked his life to hunt those powerful beasts.
Chen Lin smiled bitterly and explained that the new patriarch of the Ghost Yan Clan had to levy additional resources from the Chi tribe, and they were also forced to do so.
"The patriarch of the Ghost Yan Clan must be very strong, right?" Chihuang asked, his eyes wide.
Hearing this, Chen Lin nodded to Chihuang and replied, "Of course, the weak eat the strong, the weak can only be at the mercy of the strong, we are the weak, and the Ghost Yan Clan is the strong!" ”
The old man in the "...... of the jungle" mine once said something similar to him, Chihuang didn't want to be manipulated by others from the bottom of his heart, but how to become a strong man? He didn't know.
Every day he has only one goal, that is, to spare no effort to survive, and other things, he has not thought about.
Chihuang shifted his gaze to the fighting platform, up and down were strong and strong people, some people broke stones with one punch and were included in the hunter team, and some people couldn't do it and were eliminated from the game.
Compared with the two kinds of people, the former is a strong one, but compared to the people of the Ghost Yan Clan in the mine, the power of the broken stone is nothing.
So, how strong does it take to become a real powerhouse?
Chihuang's thoughts were flying, I don't know when he started, he gradually thought about his existence, he fantasized about it for a long time in his mind, and he fantasized a lot, and finally he could only think that he wanted to live with that person's last wish.
The time of the day passed quickly, and by dusk, Chen Lin had already recruited enough hunters, plus the original twelve people in the team and the ones recruited a few days ago, there were a total of about a hundred people.
Now they have to go home and get a good night's sleep, and tomorrow morning, they will go deep into the mountains, embarking on a journey of uncertainty about life and death.
At night, Chihuang helped Chen Lin and them pack their bags, and it was not until the dead of night that everyone went to sleep.
This night, Chihuang didn't fall asleep, looking at the moonlight shining in from the window, refusing to close his eyes, he was looking forward to the dawn.
I don't know how long it took, it was dawn, and Chihuang woke up Chen Lin and the others.
After breakfast, Chen Lin gathered all the hunters he had recruited, counted them correctly, brought hunting tools and traps, and a group of more than 100 people entered the mountains in a mighty manner.
Most of the people in the town came to see them off, praying that they would return safely and that they would have a good harvest.
The most prestigious old man surnamed Han also came to the scene with the support of the servants and marched for the hunting team, and his shocking words inspired everyone.
At first, Chen Lin didn't plan to bring Chihuang, but after consideration, he thought that Chihuang was already a member of the team, and he always had to go through the process of hunting, learning and growing in the process, so he also brought Chihuang with him.
