Zhou and Feng belong to neighboring countries, and the place where the two countries meet, is a fire lava fault that stretches for dozens of miles.

The climate here is arid, with little vegetation growing. And in a short period of more than ten years, or more than a few decades, there will inevitably be a volcanic eruption, and then a vast disaster will befall. It is because this place is inaccessible, and even robbers rarely haunt it. Except for the two official roads that each of the two countries is in charge of, the rest of the place can only be described as deserted.

On this day, the figures of Lu Hou and the others appeared in the center of this arid region, on a low mountain full of black volcanic stones.

The low mountain has no name and nothing out of the ordinary. The only thing that makes people look at it is the black volcanic stones everywhere, which are formed after the flame eruption cools. When you step on it, you can easily crush this porous stone.

On the mountainside of this low mountain, there is a cave that extends diagonally downward.

The cave is paved with rough steps, cascading down the walls.

And on both sides of the cave, there is a burning tung oil lamp embedded every few zhang, barely illuminating the place, so that people can distinguish the sight.

The cave is quite deep, more than 200 zhang long. The footsteps of the three of Lu Hou were particularly clear in the quiet place.

And when the three of them traveled more than 100 zhang away, they heard a strange sound coming from the depths.

"Qiang ...... Qiang ...... Qiang ......"

It was a rhythmic clash of metal.

As the three of them went deeper, the crunch became more and more audible.

At the same time, you can see a bright fire in front of you, fluttering and fluttering, very conspicuous in the darkness, like a red butterfly flapping its wings.

Lu Hou put his hands behind his back and did not squint, and the three of them finally came to the bottom of the cave.

I saw that this was a spacious stone room, about 30 zhang long and wide.

The stone chamber is irregular, it is supposed to be a natural formation, and it has only been excavated by hand.

In front of the curved walls of the stone chamber, rows of wooden shelves are placed, and various weapons are placed on the wooden shelves.

Swords, guns, sticks, axes, swords, contradictions, whips, you name it.

And because there are so many weapons, many of them are thrown on the ground at random, giving people a sense of disorganization.

In the middle of the chamber was a high furnace, and next to the furnace was a high iron platform.

A man who was eight feet tall, like an iron tower, naked with his upper body, holding a huge hammer in his right hand, and holding a red-burned embryo in his left hand with fire tongs.

Needless to say, the previous abnormal noise came from this.

This big man has short hair and a short beard, and his appearance is even rougher and uglier than that of Galeries Lafayette. Its skin is bronzed and faintly glows under the scorching flames. When the sparks catapult on him, they will leave black spots and burns.

The arm of the big man holding the hammer bulged like a dragon, and with every swing, this person would have a hideous face, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth.

Not far from this person, there were two men with shackles in their hands, who also looked quite strong, and they were blankly cleaning up a pile of weapons and debris in the corner.

The two men were bearded and ragged. But the funny thing is that they look exactly the same, and they turn out to be twins. Just from the chains on the ankles of the two of them, it can be seen that they should belong to the miscellaneous prisoners.

After Lu Hou and the three of them arrived here, they stopped a few zhang away and looked at the big man in front of them without saying a word.

"Whew!"

At this moment, from a corner of the stone chamber, there was a terrifying roar, and a huge black shadow burst out like lightning, accompanied by the sound of chains dragging and dragging.

Lu Hou didn't squint at this, while Beihe and Modu turned their heads awkwardly.

I saw that the black shadow that rushed forward turned out to be a fierce tiger covered in yellow and white stripes.

The beast was almost the size of a foal, filthy, but strong on all fours. Especially the ferocity in the eyes, which gives people a chilling feeling.

The emaciated Beihe was the closest to the beast, and it was obvious that it was also the target of the beast.

However, in the face of the ferocious beast, Beihe's body did not move at all, except for his pupils shrunk.

Just when the beast was less than a foot away from Beihe, with a "clang" sound, the beast's body suddenly stiffened in mid-air.

It's just that the iron chain that is the thickness of an ordinary person's calf tied to its neck is stretched straight and pulls it inch. At this time, its open mouth was close at hand in front of Beihe.

A fishy wind blew Beihe's hair up, and Beihe could clearly smell the stench coming from the beast's mouth.

This scene made him frown slightly, and then he raised his foot instantly.

But when he heard the "bang", he hit the beast's waist with a quick and hateful kick, and he, who seemed to be emaciated, kicked the beast, which was several times larger than him, and flew upside down with this kick, slamming into the rock wall behind him, making a dull sound.

After tumbling down, the beast rolled over, its eyes blood-red, and a roar from its mouth, about to pounce on the North River again.

However, at this moment, Lu Hou, who was the leader, glanced at the beast seemingly calmly.

For some reason, the moment it came into contact with Lu Hou's gaze, the ferocity in the beast's eyes suddenly disappeared, and a whimper sounded from its mouth, and then slowly retreated, and finally lurked in the darkness of the corner.

At this point, only a vague outline of the beast could be seen, and a slightly trembling body.

Lu Hou, who followed, also withdrew his gaze.

Beihe was not surprised by this, he patted the folded shirt on his chest casually, and then looked up again. It was as if the scene just now was just a small episode.

For the arrival of the three of them, as well as the scene just now, not only the one in the cave, but even the two prisoners under the steps turned a blind eye.

Whenever the temperature of the beaten embryo dropped, the Great Han would put it in a furnace and burn it, then place it on the iron platform again, and swing the hammer to fall again and again.

The three of Lu Hou stopped and waited like this, and even watched this person's movements with great interest.

Because the Great Han cast the furnace on a ground fire vent, the furnace has magma tumbling for twelve hours a day, and the blazing fire waves are constantly gushing out, so there is no need for the bellows that ordinary blacksmiths use, which saves a lot of effort and time.

After a while, the big man inserted the embryo that had been made into the shape of a large knife in his hand and inserted it into a wooden barrel half a person high on the side.

When the person removed the embryo, the water beads on the surface of the embryo were still rattling, and the object returned to black and blue.

Looking at the rough embryo that had just been created, Dahan nodded, seemingly satisfied.

Then he threw this thing and the hammer in his hand on the iron platform with a loud bang, and then raised his head and looked at Lu Hou and the others.

"It's finally here!"

The big man grinned, and his shrill voice echoed through the stone chamber, in stark contrast to his rough image.
