Chapter 20: The Fall
The guards killed the two men with two swords, and retrieved the container containing the flame marrow from the arms of the leader earlier, and pushed the two corpses into the magma.
Seeing this situation, Lao Liu Tou couldn't help but show a look of surprise on his face, turned his head and asked Cheng Ming: "What's going on?
Cheng Ming sneered: "That's because they lost the boat, so they have to die." ”
"Isn't it, isn't it completely normal to do this in that case?" Although Lao Liu Tou is a killer, he at least has human nature, and he will not treat people like beasts like the guards.
Cheng Ming immediately gave the reason: "These people who go to take the marrow of the inflammation are all opponents of the Yu family, or people who have a grudge against the Yu family. ”
Lao Liu Tou immediately reacted to what was going on, these people were actually slaves of the Yu family, he sneered and said: "This Yu family is really unscrupulous, how dare you do this kind of thing." ”
This world, not to say that the world is a society governed by the rule of law, cannot tolerate such things. Even in the inner world, although there are slaves, they must be treated with different races. For example, if the human race and the demon race are at war, and the demon clan is caught, if the demon clan does not redeem it, they will act as slaves, and vice versa.
And it is also forbidden to catch enemies as slaves like the Yu family, and after being discovered, they will definitely attack them in groups.
In fact, the reason is also simple, there are few families or sects in the world that can prosper forever, even if you don't think about the present, you have to think about the future, is it possible that someone will want to see their descendants being captured as slaves?
Of course, although this kind of thing is expressly forbidden, there are not a few people who do it in private. But it is generally a demon dao organization, a family like the Yu family, which is at least superficially righteous. Even in the world, there are not many in the world.
Cheng Ming sneered: "Their Yu family thinks that they are one of the best families in the watch world, and they have the support of the Golden Crow faction. Coupled with the concealment of what he thought he was doing, of course he was fearless. ”
Old Liu Tou shook his head and said, "Forget it, don't talk about this, let's go down and solve all those people." ”
"Go ......"
Cheng Ming and Lao Liu Tou walked down the stone ladder that had been hewn, and after just a few steps, they were discovered by the guards below.
Seeing that Cheng Ming and Lao Liu Tou were both strangers, the guards felt that something was wrong and hurriedly warned the others. However, the strength of the guards here is no more than the Golden Dragon Position, which is really vulnerable to Cheng Ming and Lao Liu Tou, and in less than a minute, those guards were all eliminated.
"What about these people?"
As he spoke, Lao Liu Tou pointed to the twenty or thirty scrawny slaves in front of him, with numb expressions, but their eyes were full of excitement, excitement, and apprehension.
Cheng Ming thought for a while and said, "These people are just let out like this, who knows what will go wrong." There is a way to help people to the end, let Brother Lu and them deal with it in a while. ”
Speaking of this, he asked these people, "Which of you knows Lu Jiangdong?"
There was silence in the stone house, and a moment passed. One of them, a man with a full beard, cautiously asked, "Do you want to let us out?"
Cheng Ming smiled: "Otherwise, I want to take the things on the stone platform." You don't have to bother so much. ”
There was silence again in the stone house, and a moment passed. Then there was a sound of sobbing, and it gradually turned into a howling cry. Basically everyone cried into tears.
Cheng Ming could understand the mood of these people, but he didn't have time to stay here all the time, so he waved his hand and said:
"Alright, you guys go up first, I'll set it up here. By the way, you should stay at the door of the treasure house for a while and don't go out, otherwise if something goes wrong, I won't be responsible! Besides, don't spread the word about the things here, otherwise I can destroy the Yu family and find you. ”
Everyone nodded yes again and again, but seeing the impatience of many people, I don't know how many people can listen.
When Cheng Ming and Lao Liu Tou walked out of the stone house, these people hesitated a little, rushed out, and then ran desperately towards the stone ladder.
"Looking at it like this, there shouldn't be many people listening. Old Liu Tou said.
Cheng Ming shrugged his shoulders: "I'm not a nanny, why do you care so much." ”
Old Liu Tou smiled: "Aren't you afraid that they will spread the situation here?"
Cheng Ming said with a smile: "I have already warned just now, if they don't listen, then don't blame me for being rude." What I have is the means, so that they can't survive, they can't die!"
"I don't know where you kid got so many tricks. ”
Old Liu Tou shook his head, and then looked at the stone platform in the center of the volcano: "This flame marrow is a good thing, if you take the fire of the sun, there will be no more, it's a pity." But we can't stay here forever, it seems that this fish and bear's paw can only take the same. ”
"I have a way to get both fish and bear's paws, but ......"
"But what?" Old Liu's eyes lit up suddenly.
Cheng Ming replied: "You can't enjoy the benefits for the time being." ”
Old Liu's eyes glared at the boss: "You kid won't want to eat poisonous food!"
Cheng Ming said angrily: "You old man, you just like to spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and you don't want to think about it, when did I make you suffer?"
Old Liu Tou smiled: "Then what do you mean?"
Cheng Ming said: "I need to use the marrow to grow an elixir, this elixir refined from the elixir can heal my parents' injuries. ”
"Your parents' injuries?" Old Liu Tou was a little confused at first, but then he understood and exclaimed, "You don't mean that that kind of pill can treat Dantian's injuries, right?"
Cheng Ming nodded and said, "Indeed." I have already obtained the seed of the main medicine, but under normal circumstances, it takes a hundred years to succeed, and now with the marrow, I am sure that I will be able to make it mature in a year. What do you think?"
For this kind of thing, Lao Liu Tou was not ambiguous, and immediately agreed: "Okay, but what method do you want to use, you won't take away the entire volcano." ”
Cheng Ming snapped his fingers: "That's right, do you remember Lingquan, that's the method I used." ”
Old Liu frowned slightly: "Are you sure? I feel like there is a fierce beast in this volcano." ”
"Don't worry, this matter is very certain, you go to the entrance and wait first, I want to set up the formation......"
As he spoke, he took out the things that had been arranged for the formation and prepared to do it. After Lao Liu asked him to be careful, he walked towards it.
It is not difficult to arrange the traction array, but after all, it is an intermediate and high-level formation, and the steps are relatively cumbersome, and it took Cheng Ming a full three hours to complete the arrangement.
Then, Cheng Ming was a little reluctant to put a high-grade spirit stone into the center of the formation, and after reciting the spell, the entire cave began to rumble.
Seeing this, Cheng Ming hurriedly stepped on the flying sword and flew towards the entrance, and when he landed at the entrance, he suddenly heard a loud bang, and then the whole world began to shake violently, as if the heaven and the earth were about to overturn.
"Old Liutou, let's go!"
Cheng Ming shouted, and together with Lao Liu Tou, ran along the cave, along the way, the cave began to collapse at a speed visible to the naked eye, but fortunately, the two of them were strong, overcoming thorns and thorns, and ran to the treasure house with a disgraced face.
At this time, the treasure house also shook violently, and the rocks fell from the top, and only three of the twenty or thirty slaves were still at the door.
Cheng Ming didn't have time to ask more, and shouted at them: "Hurry up!"
Immediately, together with Lao Liu, he pulled them out of the treasure house together, until they ran out of the hundreds of meters, and heard a shocking noise behind them, and the mountain where the treasure house was located was so violent that he sat down, and the whole mountain actually sank dozens of meters.
The earth-shattering power made everyone around him stunned. Cheng Ming and Lao Liu Tou also had palpitations, if they had been a few breathers slower just now, then they would probably have been buried alive.
After a while, Lu Jiangdong and the others, who were not far away, ran over, and they were also shocked when they saw the earth-shattering scene in front of them.
After being stunned for a moment, Lu Jiangdong asked, "Brother, what's going on?"
As soon as Cheng Ming's mind turned, he briefly introduced the situation first, and then said with a wry smile: "We were going to take it all away just now, but I didn't expect that just now, it seemed to touch something, the sky was shaking, there was no way, we hurriedly ran out, and it turned out to be the appearance in front of us." ”
At this time, the man with the beard on his face just now took over and said, "There is indeed something in the magma, and every time we take the marrow of the flame, it seems to anger it, and then the magma will explode, and many of us will die in it." It's also thanks to my luck that I was able to escape, otherwise it would have been my turn next time. ”
The original slaves around also said that this was indeed the case, which made Cheng Ming very happy in his heart, and said in his heart:
"It seems that saving these people still has some effect. ”
Since everyone said so, Lu Jiangdong and the others did not doubt it, and they all sighed.
"This brother, have we met somewhere before?" Lu Jiangdong asked as he looked at the bearded man.
The man sighed: "I'm Zhou Haotang, I don't know if Mr. Lu still remembers me?"
Lu Jiangdong was taken aback: "What! Are you President Zhou? Didn't you say that you had already moved to Changbo Mansion? How did you become like this?"
"Hehe! It's not that Lu Haiyong sent someone to arrest him. ”
Zhou Haotang angrily recounted what happened to him, nothing more than because he had a grudge with the Yu family, and he was afraid that the Yu family would retaliate, so he disposed of his assets and went to hide in other places. As a result, he was still arrested by the Yu family, and because there were still hostages in the hands of the Yu family, he did not dare to resist Yunyun.
"That's what happened to all of us, and even if we're lucky, we won't live another year or two at most before we're going to die in the lava. I've been here for a few months, and at least a dozen people have died in front of me......" (To be continued......
