Chapter 84: Thunder strikes in the sky, and fire burns the body
When the sky is dark, a desolate horn blows in the barren town, waking up the sleeping people. It is a signal to gather.
"Who are you? Being so unethical has caused me to suffer from a serious lack of sleep quality." Jiang Qi said while rubbing his eyes. He had just stood up because he was too sleepy, so he fell down again without realizing it, with his feet in the air and wheezing. Wake up to sleep.
Xiao Yi took a deep breath, stretched, and got up in a daze.
"Damn it, is this the first time that the snake queen has become the leader of the alliance? She is so excited that she called us to assemble early in the morning."
King Kong Demon Ape, Liu Bude couldn't open his eyelids, and looked like he couldn't bear to be in bed.
Then everyone came out of the accommodation one after another, many of them complaining, wouldn't it be good to sleep in?
After seeing the scene in front of me, I was deeply shocked and woke up completely.
The towering black mountain wall is actually in front of you, and the dark atmosphere is shrouded in it. The Immortal Mountains seem to have grown legs, approaching the town overnight.
"What's going on?"
Everyone was confused and terrified.
Pan Haiyue and Yan Qingxue flew into the sky together, observed the surrounding situation, and determined that there were rolling mountains and rivers ahead.
In such an empty and desolate place, there is no reference. No one knows whether it is the Immortal Mountains approaching the town, but the town itself running to the foot of the Immortal Mountains.
What to do? Everyone looked at the alliance leader, hoping that Qian Ruyu could take on the important task.
It was at this time that everyone discovered the importance of having a backbone.
In the eyes of everyone with high hopes, Qian Ruyu pointed at the towering black mountain wall and said sternly: "Now that you have come, you will be in peace. Everyone, follow me and set off."
"This..." Everyone looked at the Immortal Mountains and felt the unusual dark atmosphere, as if there was a demon lurking.
Many people are frightened and have the idea of retreating, but they don’t dare to run away because of their face.
Unexpectedly, the leader of the alliance gave the first order, but no one followed it. No one dared to take the first step forward. This immediately made Qian Ruyu’s expression uneasy.
Xiao Yi was not surprised by this. A bunch of people gathered together temporarily. What could they do?
Just when everyone was hesitant to take action and the atmosphere was tense and awkward, someone stood up.
The girl in red took out a bamboo tube, waved it in front of everyone's eyes, and vowed: "Come on, come on, let's draw lots to decide who takes the lead. It all depends on God's will."
Everyone was stunned by this proposal. Then you looked at me and I looked at you, and found no reason to object.
So everyone lined up one after another, one person per person, and silently prayed that their luck would not be too bad.
It took some time to gather together more than 20 people, with varying strengths and weaknesses, to form a vanguard.
"Okay, you go." Qian Ruyu showed no mercy at all and issued the order, urging these people to explore the path into the Immortal Mountains.
The more than 20 people looked frightened and walked slowly. They were as scared as they wanted. They really didn't want to take the lead.
However, there were many people behind them staring at them, their eyes like sharp knives pressing against their backs, forcing them to move forward.
Xiao Yi folded his arms and watched calmly. To be honest, he sympathized with the situation of these twenty people, but it was a pity that they had to go.
The reason is simple. If the leader's first order cannot be effectively executed, it will have a fatal impact on the newly formed alliance.
The only entrance to the Immortal Mountains is a long, narrow, dark passage that gets darker and darker as you go, like it leads to an abyss.
The black mountain walls on both sides are sloping, with a faint tendency to be pressed down.
The dark wind blows, bringing with it an ominous aura
Not to mention the feelings of the more than 20 people walking in the aisle, even watching the crowd outside was sweating.
At this extremely tense moment, Jiang Qi looked indifferent and said, "Don't worry, everyone, I guarantee they will come back alive."
Someone immediately stood up and asked: "Why do you say that?"
Jiang Qi shrugged and spread his hands: "If you don't believe it, we can bet on all the gold, silver and jewelry you have."
Others were quite unhappy seeing Jiang Qi's confident look.
Of course Xiao Yi knew why Jiang Qi was so sure that the more than 20 people who led the battle could come back safe and sound, because Huo Yunfan captured Liu Yan in the Immortal Mountains.
If there was really a danger, Huo Yunfan would have escaped long ago, instead of blasting a fireball to hit Xiao Yi from such a long distance from the Immortal Mountains.
Having said that, there are no absolutes in the world. The Immortal Mountains will move suddenly. Something has probably changed internally, and the risk factor may have doubled.
Just as Xiao Yi was thinking, he faintly noticed that someone was spying on him.
So Xiao Yi immediately turned his head and saw the girl in red standing not far away at first sight.
The two looked at each other, and Xiao Yi was surprised. When did the girl in red get so close?
Being discovered and a little embarrassed, the girl in red quickly turned her head away, folded her arms, snorted, and pretended to be arrogant.
The behavior of the woman in red looked like her girlfriend was angry and was waiting for Xiao Yi to coax her.
Xiao Yi was also very embarrassed about this inexplicable relationship and didn't know how to deal with it.
At this time, a man shouted from behind: "Don't stop me, I want to fight that pretty boy one on one."
"What is this?" Xiao Yi covered his face, not wanting to face it.
Time passed little by little, and everyone was waiting impatiently at the entrance. The pioneers had not come back for a long time, and they always had a bad feeling.
Taking advantage of this little time, Liu Bude had already cooked a delicious breakfast and started eating it without any nervousness or worry about his companions.
Some people cast accusing glances. Now more than 20 companions are leading the charge. Life or death is uncertain. How can you have the appetite to eat?
"Don't worry about me, I'll eat mine, you do yours."
Liu Bude doesn't care what you worry about or how hard you work, he just wants to eat and drink well.
"No, leave some for me."
Jiang Qi, the Vajra Demon Ape was also greedy for the scent and couldn't help but ask for a breakfast.
As the saying goes, if you don't eat enough, you won't have the strength to embark on the journey. Even with his stomach growling, Xiao Yi decided not to restrain himself.
The four of them sat around having breakfast, completely ignoring the other people's very concerned looks.
The smell was so fragrant that it completely aroused people's appetite. Even Pan Haiyue and Yan Qingxue couldn't resist it. They shamelessly ordered a bowl and joined the meal.
Everyone looked at the six people eating so happily and enjoying themselves so much that their laughter almost burst out. They were simply envious and jealous.
Qian Ruyu was so unmoved that she stood at the entrance, folding her arms, closing her eyes, letting the wind blow her hair and dress, feeling the breath inside with her heart.
