2. The Heavenly Punishment of the Scarlet Leaf Forest Chapter 56 Rescue
The flotilla escorting Agung and Achai bypassed the mountains from the river and quickly reached the vicinity of the swamp.
The two had thought that the ships would either run aground or get bogged down in a quagmire. Unexpectedly, these boats have two glide rails at the bottom, and the wheels on both sides can also provide power in the swampy mud.
According to the young man, it was described by Lydia as a mud walking prop called a "mud horse". Rowling made some modifications to make it faster and more manned.
With the help of this new "ship", they managed to cross the swamp. Originally, they had to walk around the mountain road for more than ten days, but after only one day and one night, they had already reached the east side of the tomb of Korsun.
The sky was still gray, the surrounding mountains and rocks were steep, the rock cliffs were high, there was a faint terrible sound of ghosts crying wolves, and there was a dark green mist on the distant tidal flats. Achai said that many years ago, the Kersun people migrated here and found that this poisonous mist would be derived from the surroundings of this place, and only by eating mushrooms near the altar for a long time could they avoid poisoning.
There seemed to be some people standing on the tidal flats, and when the boat approached, the young man couldn't help but sweat on his hands, and it turned out to be several corpses pierced by spears, neatly tied to the shore.
Agung and Achai took advantage of the morning fog to sneak back into their tree hole.
Argon's father, who had been ill for many years, wept with joy when he heard his son return. Agung didn't dare to tell him about the Red Pavilion, only that he had found a place with a lot of food. I couldn't help but say, I picked up my father and left. On the way, they met Achai who was holding Tia, and the four of them took advantage of no one's attention and hurriedly fled to the vicinity of the tidal flat.
Their actions quickly caught the attention of the guards, and someone immediately reported to the elders. As the bark drums sounded, the tribal commander Atta had already caught up with his guards.
"Quick, get on board!" Achai couldn't run fast with his sister, so he simply picked her up. Seeing that the pursuers were coming, the two ran to the boat desperately. Behind the shouting of killing, the sound of blowing arrows continued.
Seeing that the two were about to flee, Atta yelled, "Mira! Stop them! ”
At the sound of an order, a Korson woman had already rushed to the front. She carried several steel forks crossed behind her back, one in each hand, and her legs were thin and long, and she caught up with them in a few steps.
"Mira, you have a sister too!" Achai looked back as he ran, "You know what I'm doing!"
Mira didn't answer, she shouted angrily, and threw out two steel forks in her hand at the same time!
When Achai and Agung heard the shout, they dodged to both sides, but they were able to dodge the two steel forks. The steel fork flew by, and with two muffled sounds, it had already penetrated deeply into the ship's plank. The strength is huge, and it can be seen.
Mira's steel fork took off her hand and pulled her weapon from behind her back. At this moment, she suddenly saw a person rushing towards her, and the giant sword in his hand came to her face with flames.
"Running out of the poisonous fog is your biggest mistake." The young man wielded the giant sword, and the fire rode the sword momentum, and the sword helped the fire. Mira's double-pronged attacks were all pushed back by his greatsword.
Atta and his pursuers were about to step forward, but the soldiers on board had already drawn their crossbow arrows. A volley passed, and a choking red mist exploded in the crowd.
The "astringent melon seeds" that Lydia called a biochemical weapon are really powerful.
The Korsun soldiers led by Atta were able to resist the poisonous mist, but they could not resist the breath of astringent melon seeds. I was choked and staggered, tears and snot flowed, and I coughed non-stop and almost lost my breath.
"If I take a few friends with me, you don't have to work so hard, right?" The magic sword in the young man's hand was churning, and although the Mira steel fork was fast, it was not enough to toss in front of the magic sword.
"The orders of the patriarch shall not be disobeyed." Mira replied in a deep voice as she rushed left and right, "Why did you plunder my people? ”
"Your elders have robbed them of their food and loved ones and killed them, and we in the Red Pavilion just want to give them a way to live. Who's 'plundering' whom? The young man's magic sword threw out a sky-high flame, and even the poisonous mist dissipated everywhere it went.
With such an astonishing flame, Mira did seven or eight backflips in a row to dodge the attack. Looking at the crimson magic sword, the blade seemed to faintly reveal a terrifying black mist.
The young man also discovered that the magic sword was blackening. "Concentrate on what's in the moment." He secretly said to himself, "The present, the now." ”
Mira didn't know what was happening to the magic sword, she put on a defensive posture and looked at him with some confusion: "Warrior, are you fighting for my people?" ”
This unintentional remark seemed to remind the young man that his state of mind suddenly became ethereal and powerful, "For your people? No, my sword is the sword of justice! My flame will consume all the wickedness of the world! ”
His voice was firmer and louder. The evil qi on the red sword instantly dissipated, and the flames soared, and it seemed to be even hotter than just now.
"Come, see the flames of justice!" The young man made a handprint and shouted, "Roar, Red Dragon!" Flame Conquering the Heavens!"
Crimson flames erupted, spitting vengeful heat like an angry dragon. The fierce heat wave rushed towards all the Korson's pursuers like a monstrous tide of rage, and the poisonous fog of the entire tidal flat disappeared in front of the flames!
"It's not good, get down!" Atta shouted and quickly lay down, feeling a burning stinging pain brush his scalp and back.
By the time they stood up in shock, the young man had already jumped onto the boat. In the blink of an eye, the Red Pavilion's fleet had already gone down the river and disappeared from their sight.
Atta cursed resentfully, and the samurai raged in frustration on the mudflats. Only Mira silently picked up the steel fork, touched the burned left side of her face, and muttered: "There are still people in the world who fight for others?" ”
The boat went down the river much faster than it had come. By the time it was almost dark, they had already seen the pier of the Red Pavilion.
"Since you have chosen the Red Pavilion, you must abide by the rules here." When the young man disembarked with the four men, several soldiers were still trying to pull out the steel fork that Mira had thrown.
"First of all, you need to work in exchange for pay, and everybody has to work. Except for ......" he glanced at Agung's father and Achai's sister Tia, "the old man and the child. ”
The Korsons hurriedly nodded in agreement.
As he walked, the young man continued: "You can only stay in a free hut for now, where I am afraid there is no embassy. Once you've earned enough to get paid, you can rent a larger house. ”
As he spoke, the brass hammer with a happy face and the expressionless non-smile had already come.
The young man introduced: "This is our consul bronze hammer, and the one next to us who looks particularly cold is our leader. But he didn't seem to like the title, so we called him: Don't laugh. ”
When Tia heard that it was the leader, she hurried to her knees, but the young man quickly dragged her up.
"It's not popular in the Red Pavilion, you just need this." As he spoke, he made a gesture of clenching his fists, "This is what the princess came up with, and everyone thinks this is more interesting." ”
"Where's her thorn?" Buxiao stared coldly at Tia's hands, and suddenly asked.
Strange to ask, the people of Kolsun are not born with thorns. It is with age that the complexion turns green, and spikes will grow on the body.
"And what about his thorns?" Buxiao didn't seem to agree with this answer at all, and his eyes were already fixed on Argon's father's arm.
In fact, neither Agung nor Aghai have studied this problem, but they just think that it is a natural phenomenon that children have thorns when they grow up, and they fade when they are old.
Buxiao frowned, slightly thoughtful.
Bronze Hammer looked at Agung and Achai with a grin, "You guys have settled down in the past two days, and you still need your help later." ”
"Help, we're willing to do it now." can save his sister back, Ah Chai just has to hold the thigh of the copper hammer and call him his father.
Brass Hammer stroked his beard, "The Deadwood Outpost is a threat to us, and we plan to establish an outpost near it. I wonder if any of you would like to help as a guide? ”
"Of course we do, right, Agung!" Achai punched Agung.
"No, I'm not going." Argonne refused without hesitation.
Achai didn't expect the boat of friendship to capsize!
"I've already figured it out," Agung patted his chest, "I'm going to worship Cosbin as a teacher, and I'm going to make steamed buns and ramen!"
Achai was speechless.
"Go in peace, I'll take good care of Tia." Agung smiled meaningfully.
At this moment, Achai suddenly found that Agon's city was so deep.
