"Hurry up! Hurry up! Run! Run! "
"If you want to live, run as fast as you can!"
In the dense forest, nearly a thousand starving people in rags were running barefoot. Everyone was fighting to be the first. Even the dozens of mercenaries in shoes who were in charge of maintaining order were also in a mess. The leader of the mercenary troop was covered in blood. He was carrying a giant axe on his back, constantly waving his hand to signal the exhausted starving people to run faster without stopping for even a second.
Vaguely, in the thick forest behind them, there was a kind of giant red wolf with red eyes.
As long as the mercenaries who were responsible for guarding the starving people didn't pay attention, they would jump out from their hiding places and attack as fast as lightning. Their giant mouths could easily grab the skinny prey and drag it into the forest to eat.
There were more than twenty to thirty of them.
Moreover, they were extremely cunning.
They were born to know how to deal with the mercenaries. If the mercenaries who were responsible for guarding the starving people relaxed a little bit, they would be able to attack them!
"Bastard, get out of here!" The mercenary captain was the only one who could fight against this kind of Scarlet Wolf alone. However, even his giant axe couldn't kill this Scarlet Wolf. He could only injure and force this extremely greedy and thick-skinned hungry wolf to retreat.
A silver axe cut through the air, slashing down.
The red wolf, who was talking about the starving people, got a wound on its neck. The skin on its neck was split open, and blood splashed.
It screamed, reluctantly dropped the prey in its mouth, flattened its tail, and quickly ran into the forest.
The starving person on the ground was already dead. His head was broken, and his head was flowing out. Although his hands and feet were still twitching, he couldn't be saved. The leader of the mercenary troop didn't need to look. He knew that this kind of red wolf was extremely brutal. Even if it had to drop the prey in its mouth, it would still bite the enemy to death first. Unless the warrior was more powerful than the red wolf, no one could survive the wolf's bite.
He shook his head, turned around, and waved his arm. "Run! Everybody run faster. We're almost out of the Red Wolf Forest. Run as fast as you can!"
After he had taken a few steps, the wounded red wolf stuck its head out again.
It slyly observed the situation around it and instantly dragged the starving person's corpse into the bushes … It didn't give up at all. It was just that its opponent was too powerful and it couldn't defeat it, so it retreated a little.
While this red wolf was eating, more red wolves were roaming behind, looking for an opportunity to attack.
Usually, there was a shortage of food in the forest. This time, there was a large number of prey passing by, so they naturally did not want to miss it.
Thump, thump!
A dozen vines hanging in the forest tripped over the starving people who were running for their lives in panic.
At first, only a few people fell to the ground.
However, the people behind him only cared about running and did not see clearly in front of them. Even if they could see clearly, they would not be able to stop. He tripped over the tree vines, tripped over his companions, and it immediately became a chain reaction. Except for a few people who still had a little bit of strength to cross over, the rest of the starving people staggered and fled fell to the ground, like a pile of dominoes that collapsed.
By the time the mercenary captain discovered this and rushed over to deal with it, the ground was already littered with exhausted people.
There were also some starving people who did not trip, but they were worried that they would fall into the wolf's mouth if they left the group.
They did not dare to run anymore, and they stayed beside their companions with fear.
Even the group of people who ran past the tree vines did not know what to do when they turned around and saw this situation. Should they continue to run, or should they go back? If they continued to run, the number of people they had would not be enough for the wolves to eat. If they went back to the group, they might be temporarily safe, but behind the wolves, there were even more terrifying enemies chasing after them! If those enemies caught up, it would definitely be more tragic than dying in the wolf's mouth … Now, what should they do? Continue to run forward, or stop to take a breather?
"Idiots, why are you still not running? If the enemies catch up, we're finished!" A few brave starving people continued to run forward.
They were all men, and although they were thin and weak, they were still men, and they were more decisive than women.
In the group of a thousand people, most of them were old, weak, women, and children.
They could not make a decision at all, and could only look at the mercenary captain who was in charge of everyone's safety. They hoped that he could come up with a good idea!
Ah, ah, ah …
The few men running in front were knocked down by the red wolves that circled to the front, and they screamed in pain.
This situation caused the entire team to be shocked into a mess.
There were also wolves in front, what should they do?
"Run, don't worry about the wolves, we'll deal with them, you guys continue to run, the real enemies are looking for us, if they catch up, all of us will die!" The mercenary captain ordered the five members to quickly catch up and protect the people in front. He anxiously shouted, indicating to the people not to stop, not to rest, they must use all their strength to run, otherwise they would not be able to survive.
"Save me, save me …"
An old man was knocked down by a wolf, he tightly grabbed onto a tree vine and shouted for help.
The red wolf pulled with all its strength, but it could not pull the vine. It was angry and used its front claws to tear the old man's body in half.
The old man was not dead yet, half of his body fell to the ground, rolling around and letting out a miserable cry, it was a tragic scene. The mercenary captain closed his eyes, he had seen too many lives disappear like this.
When they set out, there were nearly ten thousand people running for their lives.
Now, there were less than a thousand people left.
He waved his hand forcefully and shouted, "Everyone, you can stick close together, but you have to keep moving forward. I won't wait for those who stay behind. If any of you can't walk anymore, I will definitely leave you behind. If you want to live, then run with all your might, the distance to Gold Sun City is not far, if we run there, we will have a chance of survival. You have already run for thousands of kilometers, just a little bit more, do you want to give up here? If you have the strength, take the child, if you don't have the strength, clench your teeth and endure! After we pass through the red wolf forest, there are almost no ferocious beasts, if we reach a safe place, we will rest for a while, but not now! "
"Hold him! Hua Er, remember to take good care of your little brother, do you understand? "An old woman suddenly passed the baby in her arms to a thin little girl beside her.
"Grandma …" The little girl's entire body began to tremble, but her small black hands tightly hugged the baby who was barely breathing.
"You are already so big, you must be sensible, you must take care of your little brother, grandma can't walk anymore, you must live well in the future." The old woman revealed a smile, leaned over to hug the little girl, and lightly kissed her forehead, "My baby, you must live, the merciful god will look after you from the heavens. At any time, you must not give up hope, our family's hope is all on you, you must work hard to live, Hua Er! "
The little girl's face was full of tears, she desperately nodded.
She, who was sensible, knew what was going to happen next.
She was not the only one who did this, there were dozens of old people and women who entrusted their babies or loved ones to others, and stayed behind to feed the wolves.
Just like in the past when they risked their lives to pass through dangerous areas with ferocious beasts, some people had to be sacrificed to let the rest escape.
Now there were only twenty to thirty red wolves, it was still considered a small number.
Dozens of people were enough to fill their stomachs, at least they could temporarily stop chasing the fleeing people, and focus on enjoying the fresh blood and meat. Seeing a group of starving people stay, the mercenary leader did not refuse, in fact, he did not have a better way, this sacrifice was already the best way! He did not have powerful strength, he could not even kill a red wolf, he could not prevent this tragedy at all.
Along the way, it was unknown how many people stood up like this, sacrificing for their loved ones, using their own lives in exchange for the survival of their loved ones.
Because there was a lack of adult men, the first to stand up were the injured.
Then there were the old people who had no loved ones.
Later on, there was no one who could be sacrificed, but there were still people who stood up and sacrificed themselves … In the whole group, the ones with the highest survival rate were the babies and little girls, because they were the last hope of the whole group.
If they all died, then there would be no meaning in escaping!
"Grandma is gone!" The old woman took out a dagger, ran towards the red wolf in the distance, and used all her strength to pounce on the enemy. When the red wolf was about to slap her to the ground, she used the last of her strength to stab the red wolf's eyes. Then, with a smile, she straightened her limbs … On her chest and abdomen, there was a deep claw mark, all of her internal organs were destroyed.
She, had never thought of killing a red wolf, but, she hoped that she could do her last bit of strength for her granddaughter and grandson to leave.
Out of the dozens of starving people who sacrificed themselves, only a few managed to injure the red wolf.
On the contrary, these people were quickly hunted down by the red wolf pack.
They were torn into pieces …
The group of escapees with tears in their eyes, once again went on their way. In the middle of the crowd, the little girl's dirty face, let the tears rush out a few white streaks, but she did not cry, she clenched her teeth, tightly hugged her little brother, wrapped in the crowd, staggered as she ran.
She didn't know how long she would have to run like this, but her survival instinct made her surpass her limits again and again.
"While the red wolf is eating, we need to leave the Red Wolf Forest as soon as possible, it will be safe in front, we need to go faster, faster, run!" The mercenary leader was extremely anxious, the truly terrifying enemy was not the red wolf, but an existence that was a hundred times more terrifying than the red wolf. If they were to let those enemies catch up, they would definitely be wiped out, they would not be like the red wolf pack, leaving behind a hundred or so people to pass.
"So touching, I almost cried." A sharp voice, like an owl, came out from the forest.
"What a good life and death parting, I also admire this show, if only a few more people could die, it would be even more touching!" Another loud voice, like a gong, sounded out, this voice was like thunder, exploding above everyone's head.
Upon hearing this voice, the legs of the starving people who were running for their lives all went soft.
It was even more exaggerated than a tree vine tripping, one by one they fell to the ground.
Their bodies were trembling with fear.
Their eyes were even more shocked than if they had seen a ghost!
Not to mention the old, weak, women and children, even the calm mercenary leader's face was ashen.
The dozens of mercenaries who had been protecting the starving people were dumbstruck. Some dropped their weapons, some even knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. There were a few mercenaries who abandoned the starving people and ran for their lives with all their might, trying to escape from this place … A few leaves flew over like darts and pierced through the necks of the escaping mercenaries with a whistling sound.
When those mercenaries fell back to the ground, their heads were already separated from their bodies.
Instant kill!
They did not even have the strength to resist, just a few leaves were enough to instantly kill these mercenaries with the strength of Earth Rank Level 5.
"This is too disappointing. I thought that there would be a few people who would rush over to defend themselves and make a great sacrifice. I didn't expect that there wouldn't be a single one." The man with the voice of an owl floated over like a bat. Seeing this person appear, those greedy red wolves were scared to the point of scattering, no longer caring about the flesh and blood on the ground, they all ran for their lives with their tails between their legs.
Of course, their outcome was the same as the few escaping mercenaries.
It was impossible to see the strange man make a move, it was as if there was a whirlwind around him, and dozens of leaves flew out, instantly killing the red wolves that the mercenary leader could not kill even with his full strength.
The red wolves, were all decapitated.
Originally, they were predators, but now they had all become corpses!
The mercenary leader was in despair … … This man's strength was even stronger than the rumors, and even stranger, he had no chance at all!
He sighed sorrowfully, raised the giant axe in his hand, and prepared to commit suicide. He knew that if he fell into the hands of this man, he would definitely regret living in this world. Rather than living a life worse than death, it was better to end it early and not suffer the torture!
"I didn't agree, do you think you can die? Do you think my name 'Hand of Control' is just for show? My Hand of Control, not only can I control the enemy's life, I can also control the enemy's death. " The strange man with the voice like an owl and the body of a bat, flicked his finger, and a leaf silently floated up, cutting the giant axe in the mercenary leader's hand in half.
"You've all escaped so far, if you just give up like this, it'll be too boring. How about this, I'll play a game with you. I'll count to a hundred, if any of you can escape from my sight, then I'll let you go! All of you, stand up and run, hahaha, how merciful I am! " The loud voice that sounded like a broken gong appeared, it was a noble man who was carried by eighteen slaves on his shoulders, wearing precious armor, holding fine wine in his hand, and a blood-red cloak fluttering in the wind. Between his knees, there was even a naked female slave nestled at his feet, pouring wine for him.
"… …" Seeing this man appear, the hearts of all the fugitives were filled with despair.
This self-proclaimed merciful man was ten times more vicious than the guy who liked to control the life and death of others. If he was said to be the cruelest and most tyrannical person in the Tianhua Domain, no one in the surroundings would object.
No one ran, because everyone knew.
There was no point in running again.
Let's not even talk about whether they could escape from his sight within a hundred, even if they could, this guy would not keep his promise!
The crowd was dead silent, only the little girl who was hugging her brother lowered her head, squeezed out of the crowd, and ran forward with all her might …
"Yes, yes, yes, just like that, run a little faster, faster, I'm going to count soon, don't you want to live like her? I'll give you this chance! Everyone run, I'm only counting to one now, pay attention, I'm only counting to one, when I count to one hundred, if any of you can escape from my sight, I'll spare your lives … What a pity, not a single one of you responded to my suggestion! You're making this City Lord very unhappy. Can't you just struggle a little and give me a little pleasure? Fortunately, there's still a little girl participating in my game, haha, not bad, I like people who always have hope in their hearts, if I can kill the hope in a person's heart, that would be such a happy thing. Alright, now it's time to count to two … three, four, five, six, little girl, you have to run faster, faster, haha, after that, it's seven, eight, nine, what about after that? Of course it's a hundred! Alright, little girl, you also know that I'm not very good at counting, it's such a pity that you haven't run out of my sight when I count to one hundred, you should be faster! "
"Ah, ah, let go!" A slave's figure flashed, and the little girl was grabbed back like a little chick, thrown under the golden throne.
The starving people covered their faces, unable to bear to watch.
They already knew that this guy would not be trusted, but what could they do? Without power, there was no right or wrong!
The little girl cried, she hugged her little brother tightly in her arms, sobbing, "After nine is ten, not a hundred …" The current her, was still serious, although she was sensible, she was still a child, after all, and did not understand why the other party broke his promise.
The middle-aged man sitting on the golden throne laughed loudly, tears splashing out from his eyes.
He patted the armrest of the throne, "That's right, after nine is ten, not a hundred, but I like to count a hundred in advance, can't I? I didn't say that I had to count all of them, hahaha, do you think this city lord is particularly hateful? Do you feel particularly wronged? Be a little sadder, or perhaps, a little angrier. I like to see your gazes of anger but not daring to speak up. Haha, little pitiful worms, trampling you is this city lord's greatest joy. Seeing the weak like you being tortured to death under my feet, I feel a great sense of accomplishment … You will never understand, this is a sense of accomplishment unique to experts. What is an expert? Someone who can control the fate of others at will! "
"Do you still want to play?" The strange man with a voice like a night owl and a body like a bat seemed to frown.
"Don't be nervous, no one will come here, and besides, this place has long been abandoned by the king, becoming an abandoned land. Even if these weak ants die, who will care? It's rare for us to come out for a breath of fresh air, if we don't play to our heart's content, we will immediately go back, it will be too much of a waste of an opportunity, you know, it has been a long time since anyone dared to run away! "The middle-aged man sitting on the golden throne laughed loudly.
"Then, up to you …" The man with a voice like a night owl and a body like a bat shook his head, fluttering to the side.
"Come, first, peel off the skin of this little girl, pay attention, do not damage it, it must be intact. As for that baby, he is too thin, there is nothing to eat, dig out his heart and liver and roast it. Also, I want to eat sweet brain, don't make me salty like last time, "the middle-aged man sitting on the golden throne ordered casually.
"Don't kill me, I beg you, spare us!" The little girl was so scared that she fell to the ground, paralyzed, and a slave came over, wanting to dig out the baby's heart, only then did she jump up with a scream, pouncing towards the slave, opened her mouth, and used her only weapon, using her teeth to bite the enemy.
This was the only way she could fight back.
Although it was useless, it was still resistance, unlike the starving people and mercenaries who were numbly waiting for death.
The mercenary captain secretly took out a dagger, but before he could commit suicide, he found that his whole body was paralyzed, his whole body stiff, unable to blink even if he wanted to.
As expected, in front of the enemy who had the ability of 'Manipulative Hand', suicide was impossible. If he could not die, his ending would probably be no better than the little girl's … It's over, everything is over!
"I admire this kind of resistance, if everyone is like this, then this city lord will definitely not be bored. Before peeling off her human skin, first pry out her teeth one by one. Pay attention, the roots of the teeth can't be broken, they must be pried out completely, each one must be intact, I want to collect! " The middle-aged man sitting on the golden throne drank a glass of wine with satisfaction, and then made a temporary adjustment. First pry out the teeth, then peel off the skin, this way there would be two collectibles.
Just as the slave took out a sharp knife, preparing to pry out the teeth.
Its body swayed slightly.
Suddenly it fell to the ground.
It fell to the ground, and after a few seconds, it split into two halves from head to toe.
"What happened?" The middle-aged man sitting on the golden throne was stunned, the wine in his hand spilled. Who did it? Someone actually killed someone in front of him, and could do it so secretly, it was simply silent, killing without a trace!
A shadow flew over from afar, and under the watchful eyes of everyone, landed beside the little girl, reached out and picked her up, "Fortunately, you are not hurt. This damned place is too annoying, we can't even teleport, idiot, we were almost late, what are you waiting for? Move immediately, kill all these guys, no, take them down first, pry out their teeth and peel off their skin, I am too angry! "
The person who came was, of course, Princess Sissi, the angry Tigress was definitely not someone to be trifled with.
The current her, it could be said that she was extremely angry!
The shadow that appeared behind, however, was not Yue Yang, but Feng Ji, the poor thief who claimed to be unparalleled in speed, but could not keep up with Princess Sissi's flight.
As for Yue Yang, he had unknowingly sat on the back of the golden throne. Not only did he sit on the back of someone else's chair, he even crossed his legs, and directly stepped on the middle-aged man's shoulder, "Using a treasure to confine space, right? Making this young master late for the first time in his life, how are you going to compensate me? Teeth and human skin are of no use. This young master's noble taste is not something a piece of trash like you can compare to! "
"What?" That middle-aged man immediately became angry, someone actually dared to step on his shoulder? This was simply courting death!
He jumped up, exploding with all of his strength.
He exploded towards Yue Yang.
