The prisoners running towards the fire rock were no longer in the mood to care about anyone else, even if someone was gambling with their lives, it didn't matter.
They had no right to resist, because from the moment they entered the Forging City, they had become dead.
Dignity does not exist here. Every moment they live in the Forging City, the prisoners are suffering and struggling.
Although fighting against adversity is admirable, sometimes death is a kind of relief.
Meaningless persistence is nothing more than torturing yourself, and this is even more true for these prisoners in the Forging City.
If they could choose again, they would never repeat the stupid thing they did before, at least they would not be caught by Fire Rock City and thrown into this hell on earth.
Living is really not as pleasant as dying.
"Hurry up, hurry up, and the fire rock will erupt again."
The prisoners roared in their hearts and kept crossing the extremely hot ground. Even though the soles of their feet were burned, they could only grit their teeth and hold on.
The smelting pool is just ahead, only a few steps away.
A prisoner with long ears who rushed to the front roared and took off the pottery basket on his back, and poured the ore into the smelting pool with all his strength.
The sound of the impact of ore sounded to him like the most beautiful music, representing the hope of survival.
"Quickly retreat!"
There was no time to indulge in the intoxication. The long-eared prisoner carried the basket, turned around and rushed outside.
Looking at the other prisoners who were still approaching, the long-eared prisoner who was the first to finish pouring the ore had an unspeakable emotion in his eyes.
He has been here for more than a year, walking on the edge of death again and again, and has gained enough experience.
All the prisoners who were sent with him at the beginning were all dead long ago. Even those who came later than him were 99% dead.
When the warriors of Forging Weapon City made bets, they would deliberately ignore him. Many people bet on him, but they ended up losing every time.
"This time, I'm afraid many people will die again."
Looking at the few prisoners at the back, the long-eared prisoner shook his head secretly, thinking that they had been sentenced to death.
As long as the speed slows down for one second, it may be swallowed up by the flames, and there is no chance of any luck.
On the opposite city wall, the warriors' scoldings and cold eyes could be heard.
He knew that it was the guy betting on his death, and he was constantly cursing himself, hoping that he would die soon.
This must be a new guy. I'm afraid he doesn't know his own affairs, and the old guys didn't tell him either.
The long-eared prisoner sneered in his heart.
"I can't die, I want to get out alive and destroy this damn Fire Rock City!"
The long-eared prisoner roared in his heart, but he seemed weak and his heart was full of sorrow.
Without the existence of the temple, the descendants of these believers have completely lost their faith. Although they believe that the strong are respected, it has made the entire continent uneasy.
Huge cities occupy mountains, forests, and rivers, and impose various rules and regulations. If you violate them at all, you will encounter catastrophe.
The relatives of the descendants of the strong are unscrupulous and often wantonly take advantage of and plunder, but those in power pay no attention to this.
Take myself as an example, if I hadn't been forced to have no way out, how could I have killed the tax-collecting warriors and then been sent directly to the Forging City?
Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, but they did not affect the long-eared prisoner's steps at all, and he still ran outside with all his strength.
"Nine more times to go, I'll get over it today!"
While the long-eared prisoner kept cheering himself up, his eyes fell on the last three prisoners. These guys were too slow and were almost certain to die.
I know the first two of them and have been here for a month. It's lucky to be alive till now.
However, over the past month, their injuries have become more and more serious, almost to the point of being incurable, and they are constantly vomiting blood in the cell.
Today's ore delivery is probably the last time the two of them appeared.
"It doesn't matter if you die, die early and be released early."
His eyes fell on the last prisoner. The long-eared prisoner was slightly startled because he had never seen such a prisoner before.
square.
"Who is this, the new prisoner?"
The long-eared prisoner was full of doubts. He always felt that there was something wrong with the other prisoner, and that he seemed to be a little different from the other prisoners.
What exactly is the difference?
Although the long-eared prisoner had a flash of doubt, his running speed was not affected at all, as fast as a gust of wind.
There was a rush of footsteps behind him. They were other prisoners who had finished dumping the ore and were scrambling to escape.
The shouts of the warriors at the top of the city became louder and louder, because according to time, the fire rock was about to spit out fire again.
The previous bet will also be revealed soon.
There were three other prisoners behind, who were pouring out the ore in a panic, and then quickly turned around and fled.
"boom!"
There seemed to be a muffled sound in the ears, and then flames appeared out of thin air, covering the location of the fire rock.
"I don't want to die..."
The flames engulfed the three figures, and an unwilling roar sounded, followed by silence.
Several vague spiritual powers swept through it, and after sensing it, they disappeared immediately.
When the warriors on the city wall saw this, some beamed with joy, and some cursed continuously, looking very lively.
The prisoners who escaped to the outside of the White Line put the ores into baskets with numb faces, preparing for the next fight.
As for the three unlucky guys who just died, no one paid any attention to them. Maybe it will be their turn soon.
The long-eared prisoner who was the first to escape was still deep in thought. He had previously determined that the last three people would die, and the fact was indeed as he expected.
Under the smelting flames, the bones of the three prisoners must have disappeared.
But the look in the strange prisoner's eyes always made him feel that something was wrong, something very wrong.
"Forget it, everyone has been burned to ashes, why bother thinking about it anymore."
The long-eared prisoner smiled bitterly, and then stared straight ahead, waiting for the moment when the flames would extinguish again.
…
The moment the fire rock spurted out flames, Tang Zhen felt a hint of obscure spiritual power, sweeping past his location.
Since the fire rock is so important, there must be martial arts masters keeping an eye on it, so Tang Zhen was not surprised.
As the flames burned, the two prisoners beside him screamed, then turned into two fireballs, and soon turned into ashes.
The power of this fire rock flame is truly terrifying.
But for Tang Zhen, this kind of flame that burned almost everywhere provided him with a natural cover.
The moment the flames burned, his body also began to burn with flames, blending with the flames erupting from the fire rock.
At this moment, Tang Zhen himself was a ball of fire.
Slowly approaching the igneous rock, Tang Zhen discovered that there were countless holes on this boulder, which was as large as a hill.
Like a piece of cooled volcanic lava, it is covered with honeycomb-shaped holes, and those terrifying flames spurt out from the holes.
The flames on the surface of the fire rock are different from those in the distance, and have more terrifying power.
After feeling it carefully, Tang Zhen confirmed that it was the flame generated by energy combustion. No wonder he could easily smelt the ore and give it special abilities.
It's just that the flames burning all year round will inevitably consume the energy of the world, and the amount is terrifying.
The Cave Heaven Paradise of Huoyan City is located in the City Lord's Mansion, not here at all. Where did Huoyan gather the energy of heaven and earth?
A trace of doubt flashed in Tang Zhen's heart. After circling around the fire rock, he jumped to the top of the fire rock.
After reaching the top, Tang Zhen discovered that there were many naturally formed light inscriptions on the volcanic rocks, which were still clearly visible even in the raging flames.
"This is……"
Tang Zhen glanced at it for a few times, with a hint of doubt on his face. These runes were so ancient and rare that even he couldn't recognize them all.
As he watched, Tang Zhen suddenly became excited, and a glimmer of excitement flashed in his eyes.
