Chapter 1 Imminent(1/2)

Ahead is a long and narrow valley with yellow red rocks on both sides and dense trees. The mountain turns to the southwest and turns to the southeast to form a curved arc. Lie Yanshi said lightly: "After this red and yellow rift valley, we are within our own territory. It is only six hundred meters away from Chiyan City."

Here." Tuoba Ye and Chi You were both overjoyed.

At that time, I suddenly heard the shrill roars of beasts coming from the red and yellow rift valley, echoing one after another. The warm wind blew in my face, full of fishy smell, like turbid waves, hitting my face in waves, which was disgusting and nauseating.

Then I heard a huge "rumbling" sound coming from the long and narrow valley in the southwest, like the approaching tide of Qiantang. The Sun Crows were circling excitedly and howling. Tuoba Ye said solemnly: "It seems that there are many beasts again.

The group is coming."

If there are a large number of beasts of different races running wildly in the wilderness, there are usually only two possibilities: one is a huge natural disaster. The other is a tragic war. When approaching Chiyan City, you suddenly hear the clapping of the hooves of all the beasts running together. Three

Everyone couldn't help but feel an ominous chill, so he slowly landed on the hillside north of the rift valley to see what was going on.

The strong wind was blowing and the smelly smell was overwhelming. The trees on the mountain were swaying and the long grass was undulating like waves. The three of them stood on the hillside and looked down. They could faintly feel the strong vibration of the wild beasts running through the hillside below their feet. Their heartbeats were racing and their blood seemed to follow.

The violent rhythm surged and flowed.

The thunderous roar and the sound of hoofbeats got louder and louder. Suddenly, billowing smoke and dust rose up from the valley on the south side, and a large group of ligers, horned deer, antelopes and other wild animals were mixed and running wildly.

Dozens of broken trees flew out of the ground, branches and leaves flying; more than a hundred huge elephant dragon beasts rushed out and danced with their long trunks, throwing broken trees and medium-sized beasts continuously and heavily, with sharp horns still remaining.

Fur, flesh and blood. Immediately afterwards, thousands of Sixiang dragon beasts rushed out. Countless beasts were thrown by them on the rocks on both sides.

Ugly giants; all of them are bald, yellow-haired, wide-mouthed, naked, and have a colorful leopard tail on their tails. They also have faint leopard prints on their bodies. Only their private parts are hung with a red cloth bag or a few green leaves. When running, the green leaves turn and grow.

The tail undulation is extremely ugly.

The leopard-shaped giant man screamed wildly and hoarsely, as if cheering and roaring. Holding a giant curved bow and arrow like a spear, he flew angrily and threw the elephant dragon beast out. The beast suddenly penetrated. The spear and arrow were stained in the air.

Blood whined and danced, suddenly spinning around and returning to the hands of the leopard men. Behind the leopard men, there were many animal carcasses piled on the backs and buttocks of the dragon beast, which showed that they had been looted along the way.

Smoke and dust billowed into the air, and more than ten thousand dragon beast cavalry from the Leopard Tribe roared through the valley toward the southeast like a furious sea wave.

Li Yanshi's face was as white as snow and he said coldly: "These are the Southern Wilderness Leopard People who were restricted by the Red Emperor to live in the Southern Wilderness Forest. I don't know why they dare to cross the border and break in today."

At that time, in addition to the five major tribes of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, there were also many barbarian tribes that either submitted to the five tribes or wandered outside the country. The Southern Wilderness Leopard People were extremely ferocious and fierce barbarians who were good at commanding wild beasts and used elephants, dragons and beasts as mounts. They once roamed the Southern Wilderness invincibly.

It is also a major frontier trouble for the Fire Tribe. It was defeated by the Red Emperor more than a hundred years ago and was brutally massacred by the Fire Tribe's "Fire General" Li Shimiao. It almost collapsed and completely surrendered. Since then, it has been affiliated to the Southern Wilderness Forest Tribe and is now the Fire Tribe.

The commander of "Fire Snake General" has never dared to make any changes. I don't know why he dared to cross the border and wreak havoc today.

Suddenly I heard the strange sound of "Huo Huo" from the horn, and the strange cry of the Leopard Man. Countless spears and arrows shot through the air. The Leopard Man Dragon Beast Cavalry had already spotted the seven birds and three people hovering in the sky.

Chi You laughed and said, "F*ck seaweed and fish skin, do you think we are cattle, sheep, red deer, and you want to slaughter us?" Amidst the whistling sound, the imperial birds swooped down and the sun appeared in the dark. The hunter's heart was happy, howling and screaming, and lightning struck one after another. Tuoba's ambition couldn't help but arouse the stubbornness of his youth. These Leopard people cavalry were so arrogant that they taught him a lesson. They also swooped away with the smoky stone bird.

Green light danced, spears and arrows broke and collided into the sky. The giant black wings of the sun swept across the fiery wind and the red light swept like a hurricane. The elephant, dragon and beast roared in sorrow, and were blown up by the giant wings in the strong wind. Countless leopard men screamed strangely. He fell to the ground and was trampled by the hooves of beasts, his intestines were broken and he died immediately.

Chi You roared loudly, and the green light of his Miao sword swept across thousands of troops; the blood sprayed and splashed red on the red rocks and loess spots on the two walls. The dragon beast hissed and the leopard man screamed... When he laughed loudly, the imperial bird flew into the sky. At that time, the Leopard Tribe cavalry was already in chaos.

The leading cavalry in the long and narrow valley were suddenly cut into two pieces, and the decapitated dragon beasts ran forward more than ten feet and hit the two walls of the valley and fell to the ground. Pillars of blood continued to spurt from the fracture.

Giant corpses piled up and blood flowed into rivers. With roars and roars, the dragon beast cavalry crashed into each other one after another. Countless leopard men were thrown forward and flew into the air, just as a rain of spears and arrows fired from behind penetrated like meteors. The flying ones are hanging and swaying on the rock wall in the distance.

Li Yan Shida suddenly felt a sense of ominousness in his heart from the moment he saw this Leopard Tribe cavalry. He thought: The Leopard Tribe has traveled thousands of miles from the southwest through the red and yellow rift valleys to the southeast, and its destination must be Chiyan City! Could it be that something happened in Chiyan City? With a thought, he reached down and grabbed a leopard man, and flew into the sky with Tuoba Ye and Chi You.

The sun crow roared in joy and circled and danced into the sky. Spears and arrows shot like rain and fell into the air one after another. The Leopard people screamed and cursed for a long time. They had no choice but to move the corpse in front and continue running. But their arrogance was greatly reduced. convergence.

Chi You and Tuo Ba Ye laughed and felt happy. Seeing Lie Yanshi pinching the leopard man with his hands and asking coldly in strange barbaric language, the leopard man screamed hoarsely and was extremely fierce. Lie Yanshi's face suddenly changed slightly, his eyes flashing. With a look of doubt, he suddenly let go of the leopard man and threw the leopard man into the sky. He turned to look at Tuoba Ye and the two men and said calmly: "This barbarian was ordered by Lie Bi Guangsheng to rush to Chiyan City. In addition to the leopard man, there are also The eight barbarian tribes in the Southern Wilderness have also mobilized their troops to rush to Scarlet Flame City in recent days."

Tuoba Ye and the two looked at each other, and a thought flashed through their minds - there must be a big change in the Red Flame City! In their hearts, they immediately rode the Sun Crow and flew towards the Red Flame City without any delay.

The Sun Crow traveled extremely fast, leaving the Leopard People below far behind in an instant.

When they flew to Lingming Mountain, three hundred miles away from Chiyan City, they suddenly saw thousands of people slowly evacuating towards Fengwei City in the northeast under the escort of two wings of Fire Tribe cavalry. The crowd stretched for several miles, and the old, weak, women and children accounted for most of the city. Zhang was worried and worried.

The three of them were even more shocked and suspicious. They circled and swooped down, trying to interrogate the Fire Tribe cavalry.

Everyone in the valley heard the howl of the Sun Crow and looked up. The Fire Tribe cavalry reined up their horses and circled, and when they recognized the Lie Yanshi sitting on the bird, their expressions suddenly changed. One of the guards shouted sharply: "It's the traitor Lie Yanshi! She!" Sure enough, it's here!" With a command, arrows shot upward one after another.

Li Yanshi was frightened and angry, and the bird swooped down like an arrow in the wind. The sun crow howled angrily and swept its huge wings. It immediately knocked the guard officer, including the man and the beast, away and threw him heavily on the grass more than ten feet away. Emiya stumbled up and was about to run away when the sun flew past him and flew through the strong wind, when he fell down again.

Li Yanshi reached out and grabbed his collar and shot straight into the blue sky.

With the howling wind, the guard just glanced down and immediately lost consciousness, closed his eyes and trembled all over.

Li Yanshi said calmly: "I will ask you a question now, and if even one word in your answer is false, I will throw you out." Li Yan Shi's temper is well-known in the Fire Tribe. He is cold on the outside and explosive on the inside. The officer had already heard the voice closing his eyes and trembling: "I don't dare."

Li Yanshi said: "Who am I the traitor?" His tone was cold.

Wei Gong's teeth chattered as he said: "Elder Lie, the eight princesses, Lie Houye and Zhu Huoshen allied with Tang Gu's rebels and the dragon clan demon thief, and colluded with Lei Lao Yao to steal the glazed Holy Fire Cup... it's this... The clan is a heinous and rebellious traitor."

Tuoba Ye and Chi You looked at each other with shock in their hearts: "As expected, Lie Bi Guangsheng was so vicious and finally took action first!" I thought that Lie Bi Guang Sheng was not suspicious of Lie Yan and Lie Yan Shi, and even if they were, they would not be so. Act quickly. Xianxian can be temporarily protected by Lieyan. But now that Lieyan is a prisoner, isn't Xianxian in great danger?

"That's right!" Tuoba Ye whispered and suddenly realized - since the Tu tribe's white camel rebels had also colluded with Liebi Guangsheng and others, it was obvious that someone had already used Lieyan Stone with him and Chi You to help Ji Yuanxuan obtain the colorful soil. Give it to Lie Bi Guangsheng. With his sagacity, he can certainly guess why they took the colorful soil, so he took the initiative to prevent them from sending the compound Holy Fire Cup back to Scarlet Flame City!

Li Yanshi said coldly: "What happened in Chiyan City? Where are you taking these people?"

Wei Gong said: "Huo Zhengxian...ah no! Wu Huoshen observed the stars and geography two days ago and calculated that the Red Flame Mountain will wake up at midnight tomorrow. The Elder Council said that the Red Flame God was angry because the traitors in the clan colluded with outsiders. The Holy Grail was stolen; therefore... Therefore, Elder Lie decided that Wu Huo Shen would hold a ceremony to sacrifice the gods and throw the virgin slender body that stole the Holy Grail into the Chiyan Mountain Pass as a sacrifice to the Holy Mountain Vulcan God..."

"What!" Tuoba Ye and Chi You exclaimed in unison. Chi You grabbed the guard's neck and shouted: "You **** seaweed fish skin! What are you!" The guard immediately turned red, stuck out his tongue, and screamed with the whites of his eyes. turn.

The reason why Chiyan City is the Holy City of the Fire Tribe is because the Chiyan Mountain in the city is one of the few volcanoes in the wilderness. It is said that it was transformed by the death of the ancient god of the Fire Tribe, Chiyan God. It has been silent since the last eruption. Three hundred and sixty-six years. Every time there is a spray, there must be something important happening in the clan, so there is "the wrath of the Red Flame God".

Tuoba Ye quickly pulled Chi You away and said in a deep voice: "If you strangle him to death, who are you going to ask?" Guiyou let go with a shudder, his face ferocious and furious.

The guard was so stunned by him that his liver and gallbladder burst into tears. Half of his pants were soaked in his urine. He scratched his neck and was speechless for a while. Then he said in a hoarse and trembling voice: "Tonight, Wu Huo Shen will set up an altar at Chiyan Mountain Pass to hold a ceremony to worship the gods. Elder Lie was worried that the Chiyan Mountain would erupt again if the memorial ceremony failed, so he ordered all the people in the city to evacuate."

Li Yanshi said calmly: "Where are Lord Liehou and Zhu Huo Shen?"

The guard rattled his teeth and shook his head: "No... I don't know. They should be imprisoned in the Scarlet Flame Prison and Elder Lie has not ordered them to be executed."

Li Yanshi said calmly: "It seems that this is all you know. Keep going! Take the people to a safe place." As soon as his fingers were loosened, the guard immediately fell down, thrashing around with his hands and feet, screaming wildly, and almost fainted; Suddenly, he felt that he was sitting firmly on the original horse beast without any damage. Only then did he realize that Li Yanshi had used his mercy and strength just right.

In shock, he thanked with a trembling voice: "Thank you, Eighth Princess!" He led the stunned soldiers and rode forward.

Chi You gritted his teeth and said: "It's midnight tonight! We only have less than five hours now!" He shouted: "Let's go!" The driving bird flew towards Chiyan City like lightning. Tuoba Ye and Liyan Shiyu The birds catch up and fly side by side.

The strong wind hunted and the white clouds flew away: the three of them traveled thousands of miles in an instant.

Tuoba Ye's thoughts were racing: "Nalie Biguangsheng knows that we have obtained Qicai and will definitely try every means to prevent us from rescuing the Red Emperor. But what will he do? Is there a heavy ambush near the Glazed Golden Light Tower waiting for us to show up? In addition to Apart from this stupid method, what other methods could he have?...Why did he predict the explosion in Chiyan Mountain and send away the people?" Suddenly an idea flashed and he lost his voice: "No!" He turned to Lie Yanshi and said, "Eighth Princess. Where is the Glazed Golden Light Tower?"

Li Yanshi said: "On the mountainside of Chiyan Mountain."

Tuoba Ye said solemnly: "If my guess is correct, Lie Biguangsheng does not want to pay tribute to the Red Flame God to prevent the volcano from erupting. On the contrary, he wants to detonate the Red Flame Mountain!"

Chi You said in surprise: "Detonate the Red Flame Mountain? Is that Lieguidan crazy?"

Li Yanshi's face instantly turned pale and he said slowly: "That's right! He must have wanted to detonate the Red Flame Mountain before we rushed back to the Red Flame City and use the indestructible volcanic lava to completely destroy the Glazed Golden Light Tower!" She knew Uncle Liu Shicai very well. When Tinglie Biguangsheng transferred the people away from Chiyan City, he felt that something was wrong, and it was only then that he suddenly realized it.

Chi You was horrified and said: "Does this old thief like Seaweed Fish Skin even dare to destroy all the holy towers in the holy city in order to become the Red Emperor?" This idea is really ridiculous, but since Lie Bi Guangsheng dares to join forces with foreigners to steal it? He must be able to do crazy things like the Holy Grail.

Li Yanshi whispered: "Crimson Flame City must be empty now. We can't even find someone to do the notarization."

They originally planned to rush back to Chiyan City and the elders would show the Holy Fire Cup to all the elders. In full view of the crowd, Lie Biguangsheng had no chance of detaining or destroying the Holy Fire Cup. But now Liebi Guangsheng thought that Chiyan Mountain was about to explode. All the noble elders, sergeants and civilians in the city were dismissed. Those left in the city to participate in the God Sacrifice Ceremony must be his trusted masters. Even if Tuoba Ye and the other three arrived with the Holy Fire Cup before the Chiyan Mountain exploded, no one could do anything for them. The notarization was nothing more than throwing yourself into a trap. This move was so vicious that it completely cut off the escape route for Tuoba Ye and the three of them.

Tuoba Ye said slowly: "He knew that we must find ways to rescue Xianxian, so he deliberately used Xianxian as bait. Lord Liehou and Zhu Huoshen have been imprisoned. With the strength of the three of us alone, we can do anything in this tight time." It is really difficult to reach the sky by opening the Glazed Golden Light Tower and rescuing Xianxian at the same time!"

Chi You was anxious and angry about Xianxian's safety. His mind suddenly became confused and he suddenly remembered something: "That's right! How can Old Thief Lie detonate Chiyan Mountain since it has been silent for more than three hundred years?"

"If you mix the purple fire ice crystals of your tribe with other fire tribe sacred objects and throw them into the volcano, and then intensify them with the red fire spells and true energy of experts above the immortal level, you can detonate a huge amount of energy inside the volcano and cause the magma to erupt." Fierce smoke. Shi Bicui's eyes stared at Chi You's pale faces, as transparent as ice and snow, and whispered, "This must be the real purpose of tonight's ceremony to worship the gods."

The hearts of the three of them were filled with chills. Beads of cold sweat broke out on their backs. The strong wind blew and chilled their bodies. Even though they were as calm as Tuo Baye and as arrogant as Chi You, they were also scared, confused and at a loss at this moment.

At this moment, the city of Chiyan must be heavily guarded. Can the three of them turn things around and rescue Xianxian, Chidi, Zhu Rong, and Lieyan in just a few hours to prevent the explosion of Chiyan Mountain?

Tuoba Ye concentrated his attention and tried hard to get rid of the slender smile in his mind. The silver-colored laughter kept shouting to himself: "Calm down! I must not mess up!" But the slender smile and voice were so vivid again and again. It got into his mind and he almost lost control and roared for a long time before he gradually calmed down. He closed his eyes and meditated, and a habitual smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Chi You's whole body was on fire, his heart was anxious and furious, and he wanted to roar, but he opened his mouth wide, but no sound came out. He felt as if something was blocked in his chest, and he was so depressed that he wished he could reach out and pull out his heart and lungs. He saw Tuoba Ye gradually calm down. Smiling and meditating, his anxious and frantic state of mind gradually began to calm down.

The three people have different expressions and are full of thoughts as they fly like a bird.

Tuoba Ye pondered for a while and suddenly opened his eyes and said: "Since they used Xianxian as a sacrifice, they would probably tie the purple fire ice crystal to Xianxian and use her as a trigger to detonate the Red Flame Mountain. So we must prevent the Chiyan Mountain from exploding. First, disrupt the God Sacrifice Ceremony and rescue Xianxian."

Li Yanshi said calmly: "What about the Red Emperor?"

Tuoba Ye said: "If the volcano does not explode, the Glazed Golden Light Tower will naturally be safe. Therefore, destroying the ritual of worshiping gods and humans and rescuing Xianxian is the key."

Chi You blurted out: "Yes! As long as the volcano is prevented from erupting, the old thief's conspiracy will not succeed!"

Lieyanshi hesitated for a long time and slowly nodded. Tuobaye was shocked when he saw that she had no objection and said: "But before we can save Xianxian, we must bluff to rescue the Red Emperor. What Liebi Guangsheng is most afraid of is that we release the Red Emperor." Come out; as long as there is any disturbance near the Glazed Golden Light Tower, he will definitely mobilize a large number of experts for protection. Then the defensive power of the God Sacrifice Ceremony will naturally be relatively weakened, and it will naturally be easier for us to rescue Xianxian."

Li Yanshi frowned and said, "But with the strength of the three of us, if we want to harass the Glazed Golden Light Tower and rescue Miss Slim, I'm afraid it's just a moth flying into the flame."

Chi You frowned and was about to say something when he heard Tuoba Ye smile and say: "Yes, it's really difficult for the three of us alone, so we must first rescue Zhu Huoshen and Lie Houye! The five of us join forces to stop the old thief Lie. 50% chance of winning. Besides, Old Thief Lie is busy defending the Glazed Golden Light Tower and the God Sacrifice Ceremony, which must be the best protection for them."

Chi You, Li Yanshi's heart trembled. Li Yanshi's eyes suddenly lit up and he said, "Yes! There is another person..."

Tuoba Ye blurted out: "Fairy Chixia!"

Li Yanxing said slowly: "Yes, my master, Fairy Chixia!"

Fairy Chixia is a saint of the Fire Clan. The saint specializes in the sacrament of praying to heaven and earth in the clan. Liebi Guangsheng used the reason that Chiyan Mountain was about to explode as an excuse to disperse the noble army and civilians, but he could not invite the saint away alone. .Even if the new God of Fire Wu Hui presides over tonight's ceremony, Fairy Chixia must be present.

Fairy Chixia is known for her elegance, stability, fairness and kindness, and she is Lieyanshi's mentor. If Lieyanshi can tell the truth about the matter and convince her to help her, her chances of winning will immediately increase.

The three of them immediately became excited. Seeing that the sun was setting in the west and there was not much time left, they all screamed and urged the Sun Crow. With its strange cry, the Sun Crow fluttered its wings and flew towards the Red Flame City, which was more than two hundred miles away.

When approaching Chiyan City, in order to avoid being noticed by others, the three of them flew Sun Crow at low altitude along the mountain. The shadows of the trees swept across the stone cliffs and hit their faces. They passed through several steep hills and finally saw Chiyan City, the Holy City of the Fire Tribe.

Through the branches of colorful flower branches, you can see the undulating green hills and green forests like the sea from a distance. Among the mountains, a tall green peak stands majestically. The mountains are towering and covered with clouds, covered with white snow and filled with black smoke. The red flowers of the red trees halfway up the mountain are as gorgeous as the clouds blowing in the wind. And the movement is like flames leaping across a vast area, which is the Red Flame Sacred Mountain of the Fire Tribe.

The steep dark red brick wall of the city tower at the foot of Chiyan Mountain is particularly eye-catching under the green trees. From a distance, it looks like a fire dragon meandering between the mountains. The Chiyan City is built around the mountain and is majestic. Yangxu City is ten times bigger.

At that time, there was a proverb in the great wilderness: "From the dangerous Kunlun Mountains to the Deep Sea Dragon Palace to the Fulize River to the heroic Chiyan City." Because Chiyan City relied on the surrounding mountains to build the majestic, tall and neutral Chiyan Mountains, adding to its domineering momentum. The wall tiles of Yancheng are all cooled pumice from the Chiyan Mountain. After the lava is coated with the Fire Tribe's special "Red Dragon Blood", it only needs to be lit with a fire, and the entire outer wall of the Chiyan City will turn into a sea of ​​​​flames that will last forever. It will burn the rock itself. If an enemy wants to attack the city, there will be nothing they can do in the face of this blazing wall. That's why Chiyan City is called the third city among the "Thirteen Cities in the World".
