There are more and more people, gathering in all directions like a tide.

Zhao Yuan and Qiqi moved forward in the direction of the flow of people, and soon, they arrived at a huge square.

This square is the only square in Crescent City, most of which extends to the residential area, the area is very wide, all are paved with huge stones, in the section of the square near the city wall, there is a sculpture statue of the Xuantian God and Demon Master, this statue is extremely magnificent, as high as ten zhang.

The expression of the idol is cold and majestic, and its eyes look down on the square, giving a feeling of looking down on the common people.

At this time, tens of thousands of people had gathered in the middle of the square, and the mood of the people was extremely high, talking loudly, one by one elated, and many people were still riding children on their shoulders, as if they were participating in a grand event worthy of joy.

Zhao Yuan was afraid that Qiqi would get lost, so he took her hand and squeezed towards the middle of the square.

The density of people is too high, the shoulders are squeezed on the shoulders, and it is difficult to move an inch, but this does not make it difficult for Zhao Yuan, but only slightly urges the realm of "force", and the strong force immediately fills every inch of the skin of the whole body, strolling leisurely in the dense crowd, where it passes, like an iron plough plowing, squeezing out a road, and the body of Qiqi, who is led by him, has almost no contact with others.

The crowd that was squeezed by Zhao Yuan felt like being hit by a bull, and one by one they were knocked on their backs, and many people scolded angrily, but when they were scolding, Zhao Yuan and Qiqi had already squeezed into a long distance, and the road that was ploughed out was immediately healed.

"Thank you. Kiki politely thanked her.

"Do you want to make a promise?" Zhao Yuan hugged Qiqi's slender waist, and kneaded it with his big hands without pity.

"What are you doing!" Qiqi couldn't imagine that Zhao Yuan would insult her in front of the public, and her jade face suddenly turned red.

"Didn't we say okay, you want to be kind to me?" Zhao Yuan looked at Qiqi with a smile.

"You ......" Kiki was speechless.

"In the future, when you are at home, take the initiative, don't be like a zombie, the girls in Baihualou are gentler than you. ”

"You, you ......" Qiqi was compared to Zhao Yuan and the girl in Baihualou, and suddenly trembled with anger.

"Now to teach you a lesson. ”

In the crowd, Zhao Yuan took Qiqi's delicate body into his arms and rubbed it wantonly, Qiqi was suddenly ashamed and angry, but she couldn't get out, fortunately, at this time, people were paying attention to other things, and no one noticed them, which made Qiqi feel better.

"Okay, don't ask me to take the initiative in the future, you have to take the initiative. Of course, I don't mind being more proactive. Now, hold my arm!" Zhao Yuan ordered.

"You're so shameless!" Qiqi was let go by Zhao Yuan and straightened her messy hair.

"Hehe, the characters on the list of wicked people, if they are not shameless, wouldn't they be worthy of that list. Do you take the initiative or do I take the initiative?" Zhao Yuan's aggressive gaze pressed on Qiqi's jade face that was about to burst.

"Me. ”

Qi hurriedly hugged Zhao Yuan's arm and paused fiercely.

"Well, it could be a little more intimate. ”

Zhao Yuan smiled and continued to squeeze forward, Qiqi followed with her head lowered, her face was red, and she didn't know whether she was shy or angry.

Soon, the two were in the middle of the square.

A huge circle made of thick iron chains of stone pillars, around the circle, was guarded by heavily armed armored soldiers, numbering about 2,000, and the military appearance was majestic.

In the middle of the circle is a stone platform built with stones, and the stone platform is about half a zhang high, although this height is not high, but it can make the surrounding residents of Crescent City know the high platform at a glance.

At this time, the pack horses carrying dry firewood had entered the circle surrounded by iron chains, and some soldiers were carrying the dry firewood to the stone platform.

Zhao Yuan found that on both sides under the stone platform, there were more than a dozen black-robed Xuantian Divine Envoys, among them, there were actually two Silver Belt Divine Envoys and one Golden Belt Divine Envoy.

Could it be that this is a ritual to burn the wizard?

Zhao Yuan had recently delved into the history of the Demon Core Continent and had a preliminary understanding of this continent, and when he saw the scene in front of him, he immediately realized that something was going to happen.

Thousands of years ago, there were loyal followers of the Xuantian God and Demon Masters who described the corpse demons as "wizards" and the wizards as the main opponents of mankind; they were able to incarnate as adults, possess many special abilities, and also enable the "person who sold his soul to him" to obtain all kinds of supernatural powers, all kinds of worldly happiness, and even all kinds of abilities to destroy everything.

Demons are not only able to read people's minds, but they can also teleport people anywhere.

Most people believe that "wizards" are born as the embodiment of corpse demons, and there have been crazy and tragic periods of "witch hunting". The dominant Xuantian Temple believes that "sorcerers" are the "servants" of Satan the Devil, who use evil spells to harm people. Those identified as "shamans" were either burned alive or cooked, or beheaded. According to incomplete statistics, the number of "wizards" executed in the entire Demon Core Continent may be as high as 50,000.

50,000 people!

There is no doubt that 50,000 people is an extremely terrifying data, you must know that the people of the Demon Core Continent themselves are not prosperous, if there are really 50,000 wizards executed, then it can be said that almost every three or five wizards will be executed by various cruel means.

Just as Zhao Yuan was thinking, suddenly, there was an earth-shattering sound in the distance, and the flow of people separated like a tide.

I saw that a group of dozens of shirtless, steel-like muscles were exposed, and a huge nine-legged copper tripod was carried by a wooden beam and walked over, judging from the heavy steps, the weight of the copper tripod was not light

Soon, the group of big men carrying the copper tripod arrived at the stone platform, climbed up the stone steps, and put the huge copper tripod on the high platform, and then some soldiers put the dry firewood that had been prepared long ago under the copper tripod.

In the distance, another cheer was heard.

A woman with a draped hair and a big tie was escorted to the stone platform and knelt on the ground, and the young woman with good looks was also hard, although she was forced to kneel on the stone platform, her neck was held high from beginning to end, and her eyes showed a look of steadfastness and unyielding death.

At this time, the dozen or so divine envoys also climbed the stone platform and began to do some ancient and mysterious movements along the stone platform.

The crowded square suddenly fell silent and suffocatingly quiet.

"What are they going to do to that girl?" Kiki was inexplicably frightened when she saw someone pouring oil into the copper tripod.

"They were going to boil the woman alive. Zhao Yuan felt inexplicably heavy.

"Ah......" Qiqi's face suddenly turned pale, and she hugged Zhao Yuan's hands subconsciously hard.

After the dozen or so envoys finished the ritual, they walked up to the woman with a big tie and formed a circle, and one of them stretched out a hand and lifted the woman high.

The crowd burst into a sea of cheers.

"Burn her!"

"Burn her!"

"Cook her!"

......

The crowd was unusually fanatical, and the frenzied shouts came and went, and it lasted for a long time.
