"Thou shalt be tested by beasts, by ten thousand trees, by mountains, by rivers, by the sky, and thou shalt walk the path of God, and thou shalt be the king of kings. ”

-- The Way of God

Loki looked back at the frantic crowd with a blank face, no one knew what he was thinking, his eyes were only contemptuous and indifferent, as if looking at a bunch of screaming beasts.

The mountain lion looked impatient, staring at Loki restless in his cage, his eyes not as fierce as other animals, but with the air of a king, not like he was hungry for a hunt, but about getting food to my mouth.

"Roar!" the mountain lion roared and pounced in Loki's direction, but was stopped by the cage.

The audience began to howl like beasts, and the mountain lions' movements ignited their hormones and made them even more crazy.

King Balon also had a smile on his face, and looked back at the chiefs of the four major tribes, and everyone laughed. In their minds, Loki is already a dead man.

Loki looked at the mountain lion for a long time, and the guard nudged him, and he turned his head to look at the guard and walked to the cage.

"Roar. The mountain lion roared again.

"Don't bite me, I'll let you out. Loki didn't know if the mountain lion could understand it.

"Roar!" roared, not sure if he was urging him to hurry up and put his hand in so that it could bite, or if he understood Loki's words.

Early death and late death are death, Loki put his heart on the side and put his hand into the cage. The mountain lion's head is almost against the cage.

"Don't bite me, I'll take you out, don't bite me, I'll take you out, don't bite me, I'll take you out. Loki kept muttering as if it were a spell, and he reached out with his eyes closed, and he felt that his spell seemed to be useless, because a large, hot and wet mouth had pounced on him without hesitation.

The crowd was boiling, and they saw what they had been waiting for for a long time, and the mountain lion bit it! Guevara and Jimmy's hearts were tangled, and Joey closed his eyes and did not dare to look further, he knew how terrible the beast's mouth was, and the calf's thick arm bones could not withstand its chewing.

Just as Guevara had already touched his axe, the audience fell silent, and people seemed to start noticing that something was wrong. Loki frowned and closed his eyes and didn't dare to open them, he didn't want to know what would happen to his hand, but he didn't wait for the feeling of his palm being torn after waiting for a long time.

It still hurts, and Loki can feel the sharp teeth on his flesh, but he can also feel that the teeth are just biting hard against him and not biting himself.

Opening its eyes and looking at it, the mountain lion bit its own hand, it stared at Loki, and Loki stared at it, and Loki could see the threat in its eyes.

"Roar. A low roar came out of the mountain lion's throat, as if warning Loki something.

Then, Loki felt that the teeth that were biting his hand seemed to loosen a little, and he gently withdrew his hand little by little, for fear of angering the beast and destroying the hand that he had managed to save again.

"Phew!" the audience erupted in boos again, and now I am afraid that people are a little complicated in their hearts, and this dissatisfied voice does not know whether it is for Loki or for the mountain lion.

The expression on King Balon's face was as stiff as a dead man, and no one knew what it meant better than him, the first person to pass the first level of the path of the gods in countless years appeared, and this was probably the most beasts, and the most important thing was the staggering scene of the mountain lion at the end, which would surely be passed down and told by the bards throughout the continent.

"Roar!roar!" the mountain lion roared discontentedly, staring at Loki slapping the ground and cage, as if desperate to get out.

"Let me go!" roared the enraged King Baron, whose movements made him think that the beast was trying to eat Loki, and the king's roar and anger could be heard throughout the field.

The soldiers escorting Loki knew how terrible the king's anger was, and they couldn't care about it anymore, so they stepped forward and opened the door of the cage and hid far away, and everyone, including the surrounding guards, hurriedly retreated.

"Roar!" The lion roared and rushed out, looking at Loki with his head down, King Baron roared in his heart at the moment, bite him, bite him, don't you really want to bite him to death!

However, the king was disappointed again, and the mountain lion paced back and forth in front of Loki for two steps, and then turned and rushed into the forest, and the guards hurriedly avoided it, lest the beast take him with him for dinner.

"Loki!" someone in the crowd shouted, and then the people who slowly reacted began to shout one by two, three, and finally the whole audience shouted Loki's name.

Today is destined to be the day when Loki becomes famous, and it is almost a miracle. King Baron grimaced as he looked at the crowd cheering for Loki. The audience has no position, and now they feel that Loki is a hero.

"Quiet, quiet!" King Balon stood up and took his scepter and pestled it vigorously on his wooden stand, and the crowd calmed down a little, and the eyes of the audience looked at King Balon again.

King Balon took a deep breath and calmed himself slightly.

"Loki has passed the first level, but the path of God is not over, he has to enter Mount Kham from the Gate of Hell alone, go to the Black Mountain Peak to complete his redemption, and get the token of God!"

"Until then. King Baron continued: "His sins will be forgiven. ”

"Then should he be our king as prophesied? A voice rang out in the crowd, and Che Guevara's stout figure seemed inconspicuous among the crowd of the mountain tribes, but now he looked at King Balon with his head held high, and that spirit must have added another bright touch to the story of the bard.

"Prophecy is just prophecy. King Balon looked at Guevara with a dark face, and if he could, he would kill the madman out of nowhere.

"At most, he was forgiven and acquitted. King Balon said fiercely, "As for the prophecy, let him come back alive first." Saying that, King Baron snorted coldly and glanced at Loki in the distance, the old guy's eyesight was no longer good, if it wasn't for the good light outside, he might have a problem watching the ceremony today, so he couldn't see Loki's mocking and playful expression at the moment, otherwise he would be even more angry.

Guevara listened to the discussion of the surrounding crowd, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, how powerful the prophecy is, it is definitely not something that King Balon can stop by his power, and the seeds have been planted in people's psychology. Loki and Jimmy, Guevara, and Joey each looked at each other and nodded to each other, and Joey quickly disappeared into the crowd while the chaos was in place, knowing that King Baron would never let him go.

Guevara gave Loki another deep look, and disappeared into the crowd with Jimmy.

The Gates of Hell are a desolate mountain stream of black rocks, and a long canyon leads to the heart of the Kham Mountains, and it is said that those who enter from here have no second way to go except to come out of the original way from here, and the black stones on both sides of the ridges are as sharp as knives, and if you try to climb up, you will surely die.

The crowd followed Loki to the gates of hell, and the king of Balon and the high chieftains did not come, so it was better for them not to be present at this time, or to be better for the king of Balon, and the chieftains naturally had to accompany the angry king to make sure that he was still in power.

However, the attitude of the people and the soldiers had changed, and none of the soldiers dared to push Loki anymore, and the eyes of the people looked at Loki with eagerness, and the girls' eyes shone brightly, as if they wanted to suck Loki out of the eyes.

The valley entrance of the Hell Gate is guarded by soldiers dressed in wolf skins and helmets made of wolf heads, wearing iron armor inlaid with leather and holding short spears made of iron all over their hands.

When they reached the mouth of the valley, the soldiers who escorted Loki did not dare to go over, the valley was guarded by the wolf guards, and they did not want to provoke these crazy people who ate raw meat.

Loki shook his bound hands in front of the soldiers escorting him, his smile looking sunny but playful. The soldier was stunned for a moment before remembering that Loki was still tied, and hurriedly cut the rope for Loki, he now also regarded Loki as a hero, after all, the last scene was close at hand, and the mountain lion was released by himself.

Loki smiled at the soldier, Jimmy came out from the side, holding two axes in his hands, Loki looked at Jimmy, the two looked at each other for a while, Jimmy handed the two axes to Loki, and Loki took them and stuck them on his left waist.

"Guevara is gone with Joey. Jimmy whispered, then looked at Loki, "Be careful, the king won't let you go so easily." He looked at the wolf soldiers.

"Can he be more terrifying than Black Mountain Peak?" Loki raised his eyebrows and smiled, turning his head to look at the wolf soldiers, he knew that Baron could not use the wolf guard against him, after all, there were so many people watching, which was more unpopular between a king who dared to face prophecies and challenges or a king who killed the chosen one Balong must be clear.

"Take care of my mother, don't tell her where I've been, just say I'm going to the Neptune Islands on an errand. Loki instructed Jimmy.

Jimmy nodded and agreed, his mother was frightened when Loki was brought, and now it may not be easy for Loki's distracted path to reach her mother's ears, and she has to explain it to the whole tribe when she goes back.

Loki turned around and walked towards the hell gate, Jimmy subconsciously reached out and grabbed Loki's forearm, Loki looked back at Jimmy, reached out and shook Jimmy's elbow hard, signaling him to rest assured.

Under everyone's gaze, Loki walked over to the wolf guards, who didn't squint and didn't pay any attention to Loki. Loki looked at himself and felt that he should not be bored, looked back at the crowd and smiled, and strode into the black valley.
