"Believe it or not, what are your options?" Lin Ming smiled evilly. His pupils had completely turned into a black vortex spinning like before, slowly spinning. They do not look like human eyes.
Looking at those unexpected eyes, the soldier felt a tremor from his soul. Lin Ming had said that his soul would be annihilated and he would not be able to enter the cycle of Samsara and reincarnation. The soldier was afraid he wasn't lying. He is not afraid of death, because he believes that once humans die, they will be reincarnated. 18 years from now, he will remain a man.
But to be destroyed forever and not to enter Samsara? It was something he was afraid of.
It could be considered the truest form of death, total destruction. It should be the highest level of punishment even among demons.
He thought that Lin Ming might be lying, but he remembered the soul-tearing pain from a moment ago, as if a part of his soul was being pulled out.
Along with the innumerable memories he had seen of his Samsara, the warrior did not dare to bet. If what he says is true …
Moreover, he had already lost all of his martial arts. Even if he died and didn't say anything, what use was that?
Thinking of this, the soldier began to hesitate.
"Well, what about it, have you given it?" Lin Ming asked, smiling.
The soldier took a deep breath, the edges of his mouth twitching. He closed his eyes and said, “Ask your question. I'll answer it. ”
"Md. Very good . ”
……………….
Lin Ming quickly asked his question and was able to get the answer he wanted. He was able to confirm most that the eternal flame was indeed the Flame Essence.
The Fire Worm Shaman who controlled immortal flames had a cultivation in the middle Houtian realm.
As for the reason that Chi Guda was going to the Blackwater Swamp, he had two. His first goal was to completely destroy the Blackmarsh Tribe located on the edge of the Blackwater Swamp.
The Blackmarsh tribe is a small tribe. Originally their tribe had about 20,000 people. But ten years ago, the Blackmarsh Tribe had discovered the veins of the Profound Iron Ore. Because of this, they can develop quickly. These years they had many foreigners joining them, and their population had increased to around 40 or 50 thousand.
Before the Na Tribe was destroyed, the Na Tribe and the Worm Fire Tribe were the two main tribes that were guarded against each other. The two tribes did not want to see the others grow stronger. Because of this, the Blackmarsh Tribe had been able to carve out a place where it could exist. As long as it presented darksteel tributes to both tribes every year, then they would be safe.
However, one year ago, the Na Tribe had been annihilated, and the balance in the region had been broken. The few small tribes nearby were already completely engulfed by the Fire Worm Tribe. They can do what they want when they want.
The Blackmarsh Tribe with its Very Large Iron Ore was the most attractive target. The Worm Fire Tribe planned to conquer the Blackmarsh Tribe and use their people as slaves to mine the Profound Iron Ore. Ore would be sent to the Fire Worm Tribe to be refined into a large number of weapons that could lay the future for their tribe to dominate the Southern Wilderness.
The first reason Chi Guda was in the Blackwater Swamp was no surprise to Lin Ming. However, the second reason surprised him.
In addition to conquering the Blackmarsh Tribe, Chi Guda also came out to look for the Vermillion Bird.
Vermillion Bird was a Saint Beast that only lost to God Beasts. It also had a deep relationship with the Phoenix.
In the ancient legends of this world, there were stories of some God Beasts like the True Dragon, True Phoenix, and Golden Winged Roc.
However, the God Beast was an extremely rare and tall existence. Let alone the Sky Spill Continent, they would be rare even within the Realm of the Gods. When that mighty elder first created the 'Golden Roc Shattering the Void' movement technique, it happened after a fortuitous encounter in which he witnessed the battle between the True Dragon and the Golden Wing Roc. After that, he gained some insight, and went to a 60-year retreat to learn and understand the secret through meditation.
The boundless power of a God Beast was a concept that was difficult for humans to imagine, even the mighty elders of the Realm of the Gods were unparalleled.
And below God Beasts were Saint Beasts.
For example, creatures like the Flood Dragon, Vermillion Bird, and Spirit Turtle were all Saint Beasts.
Saint Beasts were much more common than God Beasts. Still, it was only within the realm of Gods. In the Sky Spill Continent, Saint Beasts were a very single existence.
That was why Lin Ming was so shocked when the soldier said that Vermillion Bird had appeared in the Southern Wilderness. After all, the Southern Wilderness Forest was only a very, very small place of the entire Sky Spill Continent.
The value of Vermillion Bird was unimaginable. Chi Guda was not crazy enough to think that he could hope to catch him. He just wanted to search for some traces of it and gather some of its falling flames. In legend, the Vermillion Birds loved to roost on thousands of years old wutong trees. After they descended, they would leave behind a bit of flame. This fire was the Vermillion Bird fire.
Chi Guda wanted to gather this Vermillion Bird flame and purify it into an eternal flame. If he was lucky, then he might even be able to find Vermillion Bird feathers and receive great benefits from it.
Even Lin Ming's heart somewhat stirred after hearing Vermillion Bird's flames. But he doesn't really want it. What he really wanted was an immortal flame; it was a true Flame Essence. The Vermillion Bird fire, no matter how fierce, was ultimately just fire.
Lin Ming rubbed his chin, "Why is there Vermillion Bird in the Southern Wilderness? Ever since the Saint Beast appeared, could this be a sign from the heavens? ”
……………………….
The Blackwater Swamp stretched for a thousand miles. The deeper it goes into the swamp, the more dangerous it becomes.
On the other side of the swamp was the famous Thundercrash Mountain. The highest peak of Thundercrash Mountain towered over 100,000 feet and pierced the sky. It is said that the highest peak of Thundercrash Mountain is already higher than the clouds, so it experiences snow and rain all year round.
The search for Vermillion Bird continued for ten days, but the end result left everyone speechless. They had not even found the slightest bit of down feathers or even a small splash. Instead, several hundred soldiers had been sacrificed inside the Blackwater Swamp.
Chi Guda became very angry. She did not expect to find Vermillion Bird, but they had not even found a small flame. This made him feel very angry and uncomfortable. He had relied on this to prepare great merit for himself and earn the Shaman's recognition. If he did, then he might become the next Head of the Fire Worm. However, that possibility is now impossible.
Chi Guda was in a bad mood. Three days later, he led his army to attack the Blackmarsh Tribe to vent his anger.
The Blackmarsh tribe had 40 or 50 thousand people, and their tribal army had less than 5000 people. Not only that, but many of them were just ordinary militia members. How could they defend against the 20,000 strong forces of the Worm Fire Tribe?
There is no tension in this war. The Blackmarsh tribe was fully routed and the surrendered soldiers were captured by the Fire Worm Tribe and turned into slaves.
The elite troops of the Worm Fire Tribe rushed to the head headquarters!
Chi Guda rode a Crimson Blood Horse and he held a 10 foot long spear in his hand. As they rushed forward, wherever he visited, blood would flow and heads would fly. Chi Guda enjoyed the pleasure of the massacre. He was like an unstoppable force that rolled through everything. To him, killing people was like mowing a lawn.
Bang out!
The sound of a collision resounded, and the door to the police chief's office opened. Chi Guda pushed himself forward and was the first to rush in. The headroom was the place where most of the wealth was located, and there was also a lot of beauty here. It was equivalent to a royal palace.
The Fire Worm's favorite activity was to loot the chief's quarters. They bring endless opportunities of pleasure, and they can also fulfill their most basic desires. The women and concubines of the chieftain used to be tall beautiful women, but now they were all recklessly harassed and humiliated.
When the Fire Worm troops killed their way here, the head base was already destroyed. There were people who thought the Blackmarsh Tribe would be defeated, so they had escaped first.
However, most of the women and concubines did not know martial arts, so they had no way to run. Even if they escaped the Blackmarsh Tribe, they would only die in the stomach of a savage beast. Therefore they had no choice but to remain inside the head headquarters. In tribal wars, they have always been victims of sacrifice. This time, no one counted.
Chi Guda sneered and issued an order, “Through the order, I want everyone to be arrested and taken to the main hall! Gather all your wealth and inventory, then take it to the main hall! General left! "
"It!" A man stepped out.
“You will lead 5000 elite troops to chase after the Blackmarsh Tribe. As long as anyone is caught fleeing, if they are men, bury them alive, and if they are women, then put them into the army as prostitutes! ”
"I take orders!" The man waved his hand, and quickly brought his own army of soldiers to leave the head base.
Once the tribe was defeated, it took courage to flee. If they were caught, then their ending would be even more depressing. The men would be buried alive, and the women would be whipped and slowly tortured to death by the Fire Worm Tribe soldiers.
Therefore many people would rather remain as slaves than risk being caught while fleeing.
The army immediately dispersed out. The ruthless and ruthless Fire Worm Warriors heard that they could plunder the headquarters of their heads and eyes reddened; they were like blood-smelling sharks.
Before long, men's screams and women's cries echoed throughout the building.
Chi Guda smirked; he was enjoying this sound very much.
"Quick! Faster!"
"Your mother, stop lingering!"
…………………
Half an hour later, the Fire Worm troops marched on all the prisoners from everywhere and led them to the main hall. Those people were all injured, and some were even seriously injured. Most of the women's clothes were messy, and their faces and necks were bruised black and blue.
Regardless of whether it was a man or a woman, their faces were filled with the dying embers of despair.
The Fire Worm warriors carried huge boxes full of gold, silver, and other precious items. They piled them all up in the open area of the main hall. It quickly piled up on a small hill.
The soldiers gathered all the valuables, the Fire Worm troops allowed them to pocket some of the money and also allowed them to touch the women. In order to maintain their nature as wild beasts, they would sometimes have to be fed meat.
“Reporting to Big Boss, we found brothers and sisters at the bottom of the well. A servant confessed that they were the children of the Blackmarsh Tribe chief. ”
A soldier shoved a pair of boys and girls aged 16 or 17. These two people were dressed in rough and cheap clothes, and their faces were covered in ashes as if dirty, like servants or servants prone to fire. But once a person looks carefully, they can see that these two hands are smooth and soft without calluses. They were a pair of boys and girls who had obviously never done any heavy work before.
"good. "Chi Guda's face was overwhelmed by an evil smile. These twins have soft and soft skin. Men could be sold to tribal rulers as pets. The woman can be used alone.
Chi Guda got off his horse, and walked up to the twin pair. He futilely punched the girl's chin. At this moment, Chi Guda coldly snorted and grabbed onto the girl's arm. Inside the girl's arm was an impressively hidden arrow. Its bolt tipped a dark blue liquid, it was clearly poisonous.
"You're the court of death!"
Chi Guda slapped his palm with a hint of strength. There was the sound of bones cracking and a girl was yelling pitifully. The girl's face was flowing in cold sweat, and she almost fainted from the pain, her right wrist was almost crushed by Chi Guda.
At this moment, Chi Guda's expression changed. He suddenly and quickly jumped back. There was a slight tearing sound as a white shadow came out from a stunning angle and pierced into his waist. Chi Guda only felt his body numb and his organs churning inside him when he almost vomited blood.
"Who!?"
