The squeaking sound continued to sound all around, and half an hour later, Zhang Yan opened his eyes again, his tired eyelids gently raised, and his pale and distorted cheeks showed the pain he had endured, but he no longer had the strength and consciousness to feel the pain.

His mouth kept panting, as if he would suffocate at any moment, and after his eyelids were raised, his wandering eyes turned around very slowly, taking in the scene in front of him, but what came into his field of vision was an illusory and vague shaking shadow, and those shadows seemed to be dancing their arms with teeth and claws, and kept making bursts of sharp squeaks.

The squeaky sound was mixed together, it was so noisy, if a normal person stood here, he would definitely be bored with this chaotic sound, but at this moment, Zhang Yan no longer had that feeling, all his senses became extremely dull and slow.

The power of Xuan Qi, Divine Sense, and Origin Divine Pattern, all the power in his body was consumed, and even the Heavenly Source Record became dim, as if he had lost his spirituality! Only the chaotic crystals in the sea of consciousness were still pouring out meager chaotic qi bit by bit.

And he doesn't have extra time to take care of the situation in his body now, the only little perception and sobriety left in his mind makes him realize his current situation, if he wants to live, he must solve the situation in front of him first.

Therefore, Zhang Yan has been trying to open his eyes, trying to make the vision in front of him clearer, but he can't do it, and his eyes are closed again.

At this time, the squeaks around suddenly quieted down, and after a while, a gentle force poured into Zhang Yan's body, and this state lasted for nearly half an hour before it gradually stopped, and Zhang Yan opened his eyes again. This time, he didn't immediately pass out like the previous two times.

His vision brightened a little, and he could at least see things clearly, but when he opened them, the noise in the air around him rang out again, whether it was cheering or arguing.

A strong squeak rang out, and the chaotic sound became quiet!

"Squeak ......"

"Squeak... Squeak..."

......

Zhang Yan's barely visible vision suddenly appeared a short and fat figure, and he was also holding a torch, which was emitting a little fiery temperature.

Seeing this, Zhang Yan's pupils shrank suddenly, his eyes instantly widened a little, and he didn't know where to use the strength to make his sleepy body straighten up in an instant.

When he saw everything that appeared in front of him, he was also shocked by this scene. At this moment, standing in his field of vision is a mouse, and he is in a swarm of rats!

Most of the rats are about half a man tall, with brown hair, yellow pointed ears that stand up, and they will shake twice from time to time, and their round noses and mouths, with several long white whiskers on them, look a little cute and well-behaved. And they all carry a thick layer of rock carapace on their backs, like armor.

The rat that surrounded Zhang Yan was named Tukun Mouse, and his appearance was somewhat cute, and his courage was completely commensurate with their appearance, without a bit of fierceness.

So when Zhang Yan suddenly straightened up, but in an instant he let out a miserable scream, the earth kun rat walking towards him was instantly frightened and took three steps back, holding the torch's front paws trembling, and staring at Zhang Yan with a frightened expression.

Not only was the Earth Kun Rat closest to him so frightened that it stepped back for a while, but all the Earth Kun Rat around him took a few steps back in panic. Suddenly, there was a squeaking sound all around, and it was these earth kun rats who were communicating and arguing in their own language.

Looking at these little guys in front of him, Zhang Yan was also stunned, why did he appear here, why was he tied to the wooden shelf by these guys in front of him? What did these guys want to do with torches?

However, as he struggled to look around him and at his feet, he realized that these creatures seemed to be going to burn him as a sacrifice, and that the Earth Rats were going on a sacrificial event.

But Zhang Yan was also shocked by the actions of the Tukun rat, and immediately muttered in his heart: "These guys seem to be afraid of me!"

"Squeak ......"

"Squeak... Squeak squeak!"

......

The quiet space around him paused for a moment, and then there was a noisy squeak, but Zhang Yan didn't understand it at all!

At this time, an old Tukun rat in the Tukun rat group who seemed to be their patriarch walked up with a staggering step, looked at Zhang Yan with a serious face, and then let out a sharp squeak, and the surroundings instantly became silent, only to see the middle-aged Tukun rat holding a torch came up with courage, but he still looked scared.

After the two earth kun rats briefly exchanged a few words with a cry that Zhang Yan couldn't understand, the middle-aged earth kun rat cautiously walked to the dry firewood that surrounded Zhang Yan in the middle, and after squeaking twice, all the earth kun rats were prostrate on the ground in the direction of Zhang Yan, and they never got up again after crawling!

And the only Tukun rat standing in front of Zhang Yan squirmed his lips twice, his pointed ears also blinked twice, and his slightly scarlet eyes stared at Zhang Yan for a long time, but he didn't throw down the torch in his hand for a long time.

"Hey, hey!" Zhang Yan coughed weakly twice, and said in a weak voice: "Lord Mouse, don't, don't throw it!"

didn't understand Zhang Yan's words at all, let alone what Zhang Yan was expressing, Tukun Rat immediately threw the torch in his paw without hesitation.

After throwing away the torches, the Tukun rat hurriedly retreated, and then prostrated on the ground respectfully like the other Tukun rats.

The torch came into contact with the dry firewood, and the fire instantly spread, enveloping Zhang Yan. Seeing this, Zhang Yan's cheeks twitched slightly, but just a little twitching would cause even more pain. His arms, which were tied to the wooden shelf, were completely immobile, and he had no strength at all now, except to watch as the flames gradually covered his body.

The flames scorched his skin, and the severe pain spread all over his body, just an ordinary flame, but it made Zhang Yan feel extremely painful now, as if thousands of insects and ants were constantly biting his body. The body that had been severely injured was once again incinerated by the flames, and Zhang Yan immediately roared out with a miserable scream, but the voice was very weak, which was enough to consume the only bit of qi left in his body.

The screaming sound gradually weakened, but all the Tukun rats just crawled on the ground, and none of them looked up at Zhang Yan in the flames.

In the Tukun Rat Clan, the sacrifice of a living human body is the highest level of sacrifice in their clan, and in the face of such sacrifices, they cannot tolerate the slightest aggression, and even if a human is burned to ashes, they cannot get up, and they will not act until the same moment three days later.

Under the incineration of the flames, I don't know if it was because of the stimulation effect or because of other reasons, Zhang Yan's empty body began to move, and a faint suction force in the sea of qi began to surge, absorbing the flames from the outside world into his body little by little, and he didn't even have time to refine the chaotic qi, that is, it poured into the emperor's crystal.

At this time, as long as it is something that his body can absorb, his body will not let it go, and it will all be devoured!

As the flames were absorbed into his body, a powerful pain also opened, but Zhang Yan gradually passed out in that pain.

The speed at which the flames were absorbed was very slow, but fortunately, because of this, Zhang Yan was not seriously injured. When he opened his eyes again, it was already the third day, and the flames surrounding him were gradually extinguished, most of which were absorbed and refined by his body due to instinct, and used as Xuan Qi to restore his physical strength.

When everything stopped, Zhang Yan also breathed a sigh of relief, although the state in his body was still empty, like an empty shell, but it was much better than when he first opened his eyes. At least now he should have enough strength to stand his feet and not fall down!

Standing in the pile of ashes, Zhang Yan looked indifferently at the Tukun rat that was still crawling on the ground, and then turned his gaze away. He was in an open area, surrounded by low mountains and dense forests.

Glancing at the sacrificial platform set up by the Tukun Rat Clan at his feet, Zhang Yan hurriedly took two breaths and did not move half a step. Immediately, he examined the situation in his body, but when he saw the scene where he had already changed beyond recognition, the whole person instantly felt a greater sense of prostration.

The last image that appeared in his mind kept coming to mind, but when he thought about it, he felt a splitting headache.

"Where have they gone, Old Yuan Mu and Uncle Mo? Xiao Lei seems to have fallen into a deep sleep, I remember...... Damn, what??" he slammed his hand on the sore head twice, then shook his head and put the matter on his mind aside for a moment.

Walking slowly down the sacrificial platform, Zhang Yan staggered to the old patriarch of the Tukun Rat, and then squatted down in front of him extremely slowly.

Feeling Zhang Yan's approach, the old patriarch of the Tukun Rat hurriedly raised his head, and immediately stared at Zhang Yan with wide eyes in horror, staring at the latter for a long time without making a sound.

"What are you trying to do?" Zhang Yan said lightly with a smile on the corner of his mouth extremely reluctantly.

Hearing this, the old patriarch of the Tukun rat also suddenly came back to his senses, and then squeaked twice, and all the Tukun rats who were crawling on the ground immediately raised their heads, and their eyes locked on Zhang Yan's body, but the look in their eyes seemed to have an inexplicable joy in addition to fear.

The two sides stared at each other for a long time, and suddenly there was a squeak in the crowd of Tukun rats, but this time the sound was not as noisy and arguing as at first, but as if they were cheering.

Looking at the old patriarch of the Tukun rat who gradually appeared with a happy smile on his round face in front of him, Zhang Yan was a little confused for a moment, he really didn't know what these guys kept squeaking, and he didn't understand what these cute Tukun rats in front of him wanted to do!
