"Long Yang, I'm sorry."
Huahua's mother slowly raised the wooden thorn in her hand, her hands trembling.
"For our children and for Inuning Village, I can only do this..."
The Wolf King seemed to understand Huahua's mother's words. He nodded slightly and closed his eyes obediently, ready to face his fate.
"No, it's on fire!"
At this moment, a villager at the end of the team suddenly shouted loudly.
Looking up, I saw a thick cloud of smoke coming from the direction of the cave entrance, and behind the thick smoke, there was a raging fire!
The fire was fierce and spread rapidly, quickly sweeping through the entire cave.
The villagers no longer cared about dealing with the Wolf King, and started running away in all directions, shouting.
Some wanted to break out from the front, but were mercilessly devoured by tongues of fire.
Some suffocated in the thick smoke and fell down before they could escape.
The goddess screamed desperately, trying to maintain order, but people no longer paid attention to her and just ran for their lives in panic.
Even the goddess was knocked to the ground among the chaotic crowd, wailing in pain.
This is already the deepest part of the cave. Behind you is the spreading fire, and in front of you is the hard cave wall. Everyone is blocked in this narrow space with no way to escape.
"Brother Cheng Yi, what should we do?"
In the critical moment, Yami couldn't help but panic and held my arm tightly.
"Don't panic, I'm here!"
I said in a deep voice and quickly looked for a space to hide on both sides of the cave wall.
I have already made a plan in my mind. If there is really no way out, I will take Yami and hide in the Yin Yang Road space. It will not be too late to come out after the fire is over.
As long as the Qiankun Bag is not burned, we will be safe and sound.
But soon, I found a groove at the intersection of the end of the cave and the cave wall, and quickly pulled Yami in.
The space is not big, just enough for two people to squat down, and there is groundwater seeping out from the cracks in the rocks.
After hiding in, I quickly picked up rocks on the ground and blocked the entrance to avoid being affected by the fire.
At the same time, I took off my coat and tore it into two pieces. After soaking it with groundwater, I gave one piece to Yami and asked her to cover her mouth and nose to avoid choking on the thick smoke.
After completing these protective measures, all we can do is wait for the fire to subside.
Although this space is small, it is relatively safe and blocks the raging fire outside.
As for the life and death of the villagers outside, we can't protect ourselves now. We haven't even figured out whether they are humans or ghosts, so naturally we can't care so much.
The heat was rolling, and soon we were both dripping with sweat, which was almost unbearable.
Fortunately, this wave of fire went away as quickly as it came. Ten minutes later, the fire subsided and the thick smoke gradually dissipated.
I then pushed aside the rocks blocking the entrance and walked out carefully.
The air was filled with a pungent smell, and the cave walls on both sides had been burned to black gray. There were more than a dozen villagers from Quanming Village lying on the ground, and it was a mess.
Some of these villagers were scorched black and had long since lost their breath, while others were skinned and bruised and moaning in pain. Seeing this scene, I felt like I was in purgatory on earth!
"Where are Huahua and her mother? Why can't I see them?"
Yami's eyes glanced back and forth on the ground, a look of worry appearing on his face.
After entering Inuning Village, Huahua and her mother entertained us. If they were burned alive, I would not be able to feel at ease, so together with Masami, we began to look for traces of mother and son.
At this moment, there was a patter of footsteps coming from the direction of the cave entrance. I quickly pulled Yami and hid in the groove again.
Not long after, a short figure walked over from the direction of the cave entrance and appeared in front of us.
This man was wearing a red fire-proof suit, covering his whole body so tightly that his appearance could not be seen at all.
Just from the size, it can be judged that this person is either a dwarf or a child.
After this person walked in, he stood on the ground and looked around, as if looking for any survivors.
"help me……"
Following a faint cry for help, a figure struggled to crawl out from the corner.
This man's skin had been burned to pieces, and his face was charred. He was still holding a crutch in his left hand, and he crawled towards the man in red with difficulty.
Isn't this the goddess of Inuning Village? She's not dead yet!
After seeing the crutch, I immediately recognized her identity and couldn't help but be secretly surprised.
This goddess is really lucky. She can still survive under such a raging fire. It seems that she does have some tricks.
"help me……"
At this moment, the goddess regarded the man in red as her only life-saving straw. She just stretched out her arms and kept calling for help.
However, the man in red remained motionless, just looking at the goddess on the ground quietly, as if he had no intention of helping.
After watching for a while, the man in red flicked his wrist, and a bright dagger appeared in his palm!
When the goddess saw this, she was so frightened that she turned around and ran away.
However, she was now seriously burned and injured, and she could only crawl on her knees, with no chance of escaping.
I saw the man in red taking three steps at a time. After catching up, he aimed at the goddess's back and stabbed hard with his dagger -
Phew!
Blood splattered everywhere, and the goddess let out a painful cry, her body trembled violently, and she huddled up.
The man in red didn't show any mercy. After pulling out the dagger, he stabbed it hard again.
The goddess trembled, then her head tilted, she completely lost her voice, and lay motionless on the ground.
After killing the goddess, the man in red wiped the blood off the dagger and began to patrol around.
Once a villager is found alive, he will go up and stab him. After confirming his death, he will continue to look for the next survivor.
Yami and I hid in the groove and were shocked when we saw this.
Originally, when we saw the man in red rushing in, we thought he was here to save people, but we didn't expect that this guy actually took the opportunity to start a killing spree, ruthlessly killing all the living villagers!
Who is he and why does he do this?
I became extremely curious about the identity of the man in red.
The man in red was very cautious in his work. Every corpse had to be turned over. After confirming its death, he continued to move forward with confidence. Soon, he came close to the groove where we were.
I tensed up my nerves, gripped the King of Martial Whip tightly, stared at the man in red through the gap, and was ready to take action at any time.
However, before he reached my side, the man in red suddenly stopped and his eyes seemed to be attracted to a corner on the right.
Soon, he gave up continuing to move this way, but turned around and walked to the right.
Through the gap in the groove, I looked around and saw the wolf king!
