In the end, under the leadership of Gong Piqing, the team members came to the church and saw the scene that was happening in front of the simple church.

Huge fear suddenly exploded from everyone's hearts, and they were so frightened that goosebumps rose all over their bodies, and it felt like the battle suit was leaking electricity.

I saw that at the door of the church, there was really a cruel burning at the stake, and I saw a muscular and sturdy young man lying on a shelf made of wood, and under the shelf were countless firewoods, at this time the firewood had ignited the wooden frame, and the raging flames several meters high suddenly swallowed the young man, and the young man's screams came out of the flames, and the sound quickly became quieter, and there was soon a disgusting smell of burnt paste in the air.

There were about ten people who were burned at the stake, and the number was actually about the same as Gong Piqing's squad, and the people who were burned at the stake saw a group of strangely dressed people suddenly coming to the village, and they also gathered together to discuss, but because of the loud sound of the wooden frame burning in front of them, their suits did not translate those words.

A group of people gathered together and chatted, seemingly completely unconcerned about the young man who had lost his voice.

Zhang Yuemei, who had been following Gong Piqing, probably couldn't stand such a cruel picture, and turned her back to the past, and the other team members also put on their masks and goggles again, because the smell in the air was so pungent that even Gong Piqing felt sick to his stomach after smelling it, but he couldn't help it.

The other party should not be hostile to them, otherwise they would have rushed over and taken them down a long time ago; But in such a poor village, a sturdy guy with clear lines should be like a treasure, capable of both working and continuing offspring, but why was he put at the stake?

"You're not going to stop them! People are burned to death! Zhang Yuemei suddenly punched him from behind, Gong Piqing was still hesitating, trying to analyze what the other party was doing through the scene in front of him, but he didn't analyze it for a long time.

Zhang Yuemei said so, in fact, the young man who was put on the stake has already lost his breath now, not to mention their human medical level, in this case, even Gong Piqing can't save that young man, the whole person is already scorched, what else can I save?

But in fact, if he was the only one in this mission, or if there was Hades or other super soldiers around him like the last time he went to the Land of Machines, he would have rushed to save the young man as soon as possible, but this time it was different, he brought a lot of team members with him, and he also knew that the Demon World was a magical civilization, and the group of people who were burned at the stake in front of him were wearing gray hooded robes, looking like the heretics in the game, in case they knew what magic, his recklessness would only bring danger to the team members.

Just as yesterday, the head of the Hades group found him and talked to him briefly, the old man also saw that the real Gong Piqing had returned, and the mentally ill Gong Piqing was gone, so he told Gong Piqing not to be so rash as before, because before he became a psychopath, he was indeed a very short-tempered person, at that time the four super soldiers had different personalities, Hades was calm, Gaia was calm, the ghost was confident, and he was the world tree, It's berserk.

The old man emphasized the phrase "you are the leader of the team" several times in a row, the purpose was to remind him that there was a woman he liked and his team members behind him, so that he could think twice before making some decisions, so he didn't rush to save people in the first place this time.

But just now Zhang Yuemei hammered him with a punch that knocked him up, he subconsciously walked to the front, did not choose to save the young man from the shelf that was about to burn down, but walked directly to the group of people in gray robes.

The robed people watched him warily, and a few took a few steps back as if sensing danger.

"What are you doing here? Why burn people? Gong Piqing muttered softly, and then the battle suit translated his words into the language of the demon realm.

"Are you outsiders?" The gray-robed man did not answer him immediately, but asked him about his identity.

"Yes."

The gray-robed man who was talking to Gong Piqing sighed, and then told the whole story in the local dialect, and their battle clothes translated what the gray-robed man said-

"You are strangers who don't know our poverty here, we starve to death here every winter, the climate here is cold and you can't grow land, so you can only go up the mountain to hunt to survive the cold winter, this young man was accidentally caught in the trap of the black wizard when he went up the mountain to hunt today, and his body has been poisoned by the black wizard, so we will choose to burn him to death, otherwise the poison will slowly torture him to death."

The gray-robed man's words dispelled their original idea that this group of people planned to eat people for the winter, but at the same time, it also led to more mysteries, such as what the "dark wizard" in his mouth was, could there really be a wizard similar to the Great Demon King here who harmed people all year round?

But Gong Piqing helped them ask the question: "Dark wizard? Who? Isn't it bad? ”

Several gray-robed people shook their heads again and again, "No, the dark wizard is from the village, he often uses some black magic traps to hunt some fierce beasts, but he will make eye-catching marks next to his traps to remind the hunters not to touch them, so we are also sorry for today's incident, this young man's family has frozen to death and starved to death in the past few years, and he is the only one left in the family, he himself did not see the mark left by the dark wizard when he went up the mountain today, and finally stepped on the trap of the dark wizard, he was tortured by the toxin very uncomfortable, Reach out to us and let us use this method to kill him and cleanse him of the toxins in his body. ”

Gong Piqing's brows furrowed, "Isn't it okay to let the dark wizard help him detoxify the trap made by the dark wizard?" Why burn him? ”

"The Dark Wizard is a very strange person, he only wakes up at night, and he sleeps during the day, and we also wanted to go to the Dark Wizard at night, but this young man really can't wait for the night to fall, so that's all he can do."

"Damn, there's this, this is clearly a villain, and he's still protective, what kind of ghost problem that comes out day and night!" Someone in the team immediately complained.

After listening to the gray-robed man's words, Gong Piqing's eyes immediately became sharper, now people really can't be saved, even the burner at the stake collapsed when the gray-robed man spoke just now, the momentum of the flames has passed, and there is only a charred corpse left in the ashes, which makes people tremble when they look at it.

"This stranger, please keep your companions away, the last flame will burn the toxins in his body, toxins are harmful to people, please stand back." The gray-robed man spoke again, and at the same time tugged at the corner of Gong Piqing's clothes and slowly pulled him back for some distance.

Gong Piqing motioned for the team to retreat, and sure enough, a few seconds later, a large amount of black smoke suddenly appeared in the terrifying charred black corpse, if these smoke spread directly, I am afraid that it can directly envelop the entire village, but these smoke flew directly into the air, like the soul that flew away from the corpse of this young man.

"Alright, his soul has been redeemed, and now we will warn the hunters in the village once again to watch out for the dark wizard's traps when hunting." The gray-robed man whispered.

At this time, Gong Piqing saw that there were a lot of moving figures in the church behind the gray-robed man, and the dim light automatically stimulated his "adaptive evolution", and his eyes were strengthened and opened, giving him the ability to have night vision, and he then saw the refugees in the church who were waiting for alms, but what they gave to the refugees was something similar to boiling water and boiling leaves, and in the depths of the church, some dead animals were piled up there, as if they hadn't had time to peel their skins, presumably this was their food for the winter.

"Is your charity the one in their hands? They eat boiled leaves, and you eat the animals behind them? Gong Piqing pointed to a scene in the church and said.

The gray-robed man sighed again, "My esteemed visitor from a foreign country is not what you think, those animals are the prey of the dark wizard, and the dark wizard will detoxify the prey when he wakes up, and then assign some to us, but he has not woken up yet, all of us eat this kind of food, and we will be content to eat it." ”

As soon as he heard this, Gong Piqing suddenly became angry, and said in his heart, what kind of dark wizard are you, people are dying of hunger, they are all eating leaves, and they have to wait for him to wake up before they are willing to poison their prey? Is this a big wake-up gas or something?

But from the perspective of the mission, Gong Piqing should not be in charge of these things at all, because if the dark wizard had a relationship with the high-ranking of the Extremely Cold Country, he would only expose his team too soon, but he knew in his heart that if he left like this, this village would become a wound that he could not heal for the rest of his life, just like the family who helped them in the Land of Machines in the first place.

Isn't life always like this, after you have listened to the good words and finally made up your mind, there is always a way to give you a slap in the face to make you break your original vow......

Gong Piqing also sighed, "Please take me to your dark wizard, I have something to say to him." ”

The gray-robed man was stunned for a moment, and a trace of fear appeared in his eyes, "But, now the dark wizard is resting......"

"I know, you just tell me where he is, we found it ourselves, and it has nothing to do with you." After Gong Piqing finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and motioned for the gray-robed man to lead the way......
