Chapter 585: Cave Fire
"Long Yang, I'm sorry."
Mother Flowey slowly raised the wooden thorn in her hand, her hands trembling.
"For the sake of our children, for the sake of Inumaki Village, I can only do this......"
The wolf king seemed to understand Huahua's mother's words, and nodded slightly, closed his eyes obediently, and prepared to meet his fate.
"Oh no, it's on fire!"
At this moment, a villager at the outermost part of the team suddenly shouted loudly.
Looking up, I saw a thick cloud of smoke filling the direction of the cave entrance, and behind the thick smoke, there was a raging fire!
The fire was fierce and spread rapidly, and soon engulfed the entire cavern.
The villagers couldn't care about dealing with the wolf king, so they shouted and fled in all directions.
Some wanted to break out from the front, but they were ruthlessly devoured by tongues of fire.
Before they could escape, some suffocated in the smoke and collapsed.
The goddess shouted desperately to maintain order, but the people ignored her and fled for their lives in a panic.
Even the goddess was knocked to the ground in the midst of the chaotic crowd, and let out a wail of pain.
This is already the deepest part of the cavern, with the raging fire behind it and the hard cave walls in front of it, and everyone is blocked in this narrow space, with no way to escape.
"Brother Cheng Yi, what should we do?"
In the midst of the crisis, Masami couldn't help but panic and grabbed my arm tightly.
"Don't panic, I'm here!"
I whispered, quickly searching for space to hide on either side of the cave wall.
I have already made a plan in my heart, if there is really no way out, I will take Yami to hide in the Yin Yang Road space, and when the fire is over, it will not be too late to come out.
As long as the bag is not burned, we can be safe and sound.
But soon, I found a groove at the end of the cave where the cave wall intersected, and I quickly pulled Masami to hide.
The space is not large, just enough to accommodate two people to squat, and in the cracks of the rocks, there is still groundwater constantly seeping out.
After taking refuge, I quickly picked up rocks from the ground and blocked the entrance to prevent it from being affected by the fire.
At the same time, I took off my coat and tore it in two, soaked it with groundwater, and handed it to Masami so that she would cover her mouth and nose so as not to choke on the smoke.
Once these precautions are in place, all we can do is wait for the fire to subside.
Although this space is small, it is relatively safe to block the raging fire outside.
As for the lives and deaths of the villagers outside, we can't protect ourselves now, and we haven't even figured out whether they are humans or ghosts, so naturally we can't care so much.
The heat wave was rolling in, and soon we were both sweating on both sides, almost unbearable.
Fortunately, the fire came and went quickly, and after ten minutes, the fire subsided and the smoke gradually dissipated.
I pushed away the rocks blocking the entrance and walked out cautiously.
There was a pungent smell in the air, the cave walls on both sides had been burned to black and gray, and there were more than a dozen villagers of Inuming Village lying on the ground, in a mess.
Some of these villagers were scorched black and had long since lost their breath, while others had their skin open and their flesh was constantly moaning in pain, and when I saw this scene, I felt like I was in purgatory on earth!
"What about Flowey and her mother, why can't you see them?"
Masami's gaze scanned back and forth across the ground, a look of concern on her face.
After entering Inuaki Village, it was Huahua and her mother who entertained us, and if they were burned alive, I couldn't feel at ease, so I started looking around for the traces of the mother and son together with Masami.
At this moment, there was a sound of crackling footsteps in the direction of the cave entrance, and I quickly pulled Masami and hid in the groove again.
A short time later, a short figure walked in the direction of the cave entrance and appeared in front of us.
This person was wearing a red fireproof suit, covering his whole body very tightly, and his appearance was not visible at all.
Just judging from the size, it can be judged that this person is either a dwarf or a child.
When the man walked in, he stood on the ground and looked around, as if looking for survivors.
"Save Me ......"
With a faint cry for help, a figure struggled out of the corner.
The man's skin had been burned open, his face was blackened, but he was still holding a cane in his left hand, and crawled towards the man in red with difficulty.
Isn't this the goddess of Inuaki Village? She's not dead yet!
When I saw the crutches, I immediately recognized her identity and couldn't help but be secretly surprised.
This goddess is really fateful, and she can survive under such a blazing fire, and it seems that she does have some means.
"Save Me ......"
At this moment, the goddess has regarded the man in red as the only life-saving straw, and just stretched out her arms to her, constantly calling for help.
However, the man in red did not move, just quietly looked at the goddess on the ground, and did not seem to have any intention of helping.
After looking at it for a while, the man in red shook his wrist, and a bright dagger appeared in his palm!
When the goddess saw this, she immediately trembled with fright, and hurriedly turned around and was about to flee.
However, she has now been seriously burned, and the whole person can only crawl in a crawling state, and there is no chance of escaping at all.
I saw that the man in red took three steps and made two steps, and after catching up, he aimed at the back of the goddess, and stabbed down with a dagger—
Poof!
Blood splattered, and the goddess let out a painful wail, her body trembling violently, and she shrunk into a ball.
The man in red showed no mercy, pulled out the dagger, and stabbed it again.
The goddess's body trembled, and then her head tilted, and she was completely silent, lying on the ground motionless.
After killing the goddess, the man in red wiped the blood from the dagger and began to make his rounds.
Once you find that there are still living villagers, you will go up and stab them, and after confirming that they are dead, they will continue to look for the next living person.
Masami and I hid in the recess, and when we saw this scene, we were all stunned.
Originally, we saw this man in red rushing in, thinking that he was here to save people, but we didn't expect that this guy actually took the opportunity to launch a killing, killing all the living villagers mercilessly!
Who is he and why is he doing this?
I was extremely curious about the identity of the man in red.
The man in red was very cautious, and every corpse had to be turned over, and after confirming that it was dead, he was relieved to continue forward, and soon, he approached the groove where we were.
I tensed my nerves, clenched the Martial King's Whip, and stared at the man in red through the gap, ready to strike at any time.
However, before he could reach my side, the man in red suddenly stopped, and his eyes seemed to be attracted by a corner on the right.
Soon, he gave up continuing his march this way, and instead turned around and walked to the right.
Through the gap in the groove, I looked extremely closely, and I actually saw the wolf king!
