In an instant, the place had turned into a wailing hell of fire.
Victims were writhing and crying for help everywhere. The line between friend and foe was blurred.
In the face of death, they only had one common goal — escape!
"Brother, we'll cover you. Run!"
Wang Yan blocked the fire arrows that were flying towards them and tried to persuade Huo Xiao with an anxious look on her face.
"No! Wu Ying, you and Wang Yan evacuate with the others. "
With that, he gritted his teeth and rushed into the sea of fire to save the others.
"Brother!"
Wang Yan shouted, but was held back by Wu Ying.
"Let me go! I want to save Big Brother! "He was so anxious that his eyes were red and he shouted at Wu Ying.
Wu Ying gritted his teeth and tried his best to pull him out.
"We can only live up to brother's sacrifice if we survive! Wang Yan, don't forget the mission I gave you! "
Wang Yan was stunned. He looked at his companions who were still struggling and crying for help.
"Get out of the way!"
Wu Ying immediately let go.
Then, Wang Yan stopped rushing into the fire and quickly rescued his two companions.
The hot tears in Wu Ying's eyes quickly dried up in the fire.
He stared into the depths of the sea of fire and finally began to evacuate with his companions.
The thick smoke coiled in the night sky like a snake.
Before they reached their destination, Lin Mengya smelled a strong burning smell mixed with a foul stench.
She suddenly remembered what Huo Xiao had told her about the cause of his burns.
It seemed that there was another group of people who had been watching them.
But Huo Xiao had just finished a tough battle. If this went on, they would die.
"Lass, I'll bring my men over. You two find a safe place to hide. Don't get close."
Qinghu knew what she was thinking, so he led Li Ao and the Jackdaw Guards away.
"Alright, but be careful. Huo Xiao said that the other party has a very powerful accelerant. If it sticks to your body, the fire won't be extinguished. "
She told Qinghu what she knew in time, so that they could avoid a major casualty.
But now, she could only look in the direction where Qinghu and the others had left.
"Don't worry too much. Huo Xiao is prepared, and Qinghu is not a reckless person."
Long Tianhao patted her hand and comforted her softly.
Lin Mengya frowned and subconsciously held his hand tightly.
"What a coincidence. We had just escaped and the other side launched an attack."
"Maybe it's just a coincidence."
Long Tianhao knew what she wanted to say.
However, the people who ambushed them earlier were definitely not the death warriors of a certain family.
Furthermore, it was very likely that those people were related to Ya 'er's secret.
He wanted to remind her, but he didn't want Ya 'er to notice something so early, so he could only choose such a subtle way.
"Alright, I hope Huo Xiao and the others can hold on."
Lin Mengya's face was full of worry.
Lin Mengya's heart skipped a beat at the sight of the blazing fire.
The fire should have just started not too long ago, but due to the intensity of the ignition, the place had already turned into a living hell in such a short time.
Although they did not go near, the screams from the fire were enough to become a nightmare for some people.
Not far away from them, Zhao Jian threw off the last stepping stone and collapsed on the ground, panting heavily to calm the burning sensation in his throat.
"Lunatics! What a bunch of f * cking lunatics! "
Zhao Jian was almost scared to death.
If it wasn't for his father who was worried about him before he left and told him to be the first to escape if anything happened, he would not have been more vigilant than the others.
He was afraid that now, he would be burned alive like that incompetent Elder Luo.
Although a few of his trusted men had died, it didn't matter.
As long as he was still alive.
At this moment, he found traces of Lin Mengya and the others.
They had also seen the scene of him pushing his comrade, who was already on fire, out.
For a moment, the atmosphere between both sides was a little tense.
"Cough, cough, cough, why are you here?"
Although Zhao Jian wanted to maintain his previous toughness, he was now alone and obviously at a disadvantage.
On the other hand, Lin Mengya only looked at him coldly.
"We're here to save people."
In Zhao Jian's ears, every word was a reprimand for his behavior just now.
How could the arrogant Zhao family's Fourth Master bear such grievances?
"Heh, save people? I think you're here to silence us? "Zhao Jian's eyes were cold as he said meaningfully.
"As if it's not enough that you've harmed the Sheng family, you've even sacrificed more than a hundred lives of our Zhao family! The two of you, just wait for us aboriginals to skin you alive! "
Lin Mengya glared at him with some disgust.
"Your men died because you, the head of the family, abandoned them. What does that have to do with us? Let me tell you, don't blame us for everything! "
Zhao Jian became even more arrogant.
"What? You don't dare to admit it? Are you feeling guilty? I've seen it with my own eyes. We were clearly fine before, but someone started a fire the moment you came. Even if you didn't do it, it must have something to do with you! Come, follow me back to see the elders! "
As he spoke, he actually stepped forward to pull Lin Mengya away.
But before he could even touch a corner of Lin Mengya's clothes, a nimble whip smashed into Zhao Jian's hand with the force of a thunderbolt.
"What? Are you trying to silence me? "
Only then did Zhao Jian know what fear was.
But as a member of the aboriginals, he was used to treating these lowly foreigners with arrogance.
To him, these foreigners should crawl at their feet. They were not worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as them.
To a certain extent, the aboriginals were extremely xenophobic, so they had no chance to understand the cruelty of the outside world.
In the outside world where strength was respected, parasites like him who relied on his family to survive were the first to be eliminated.
"If you disrespect my wife again, you can reunite with your companions."
Long Tianhao raised his eyebrows and looked at him coldly.
In that instant, Zhao Jian felt a chill permeate his limbs and bones.
He subconsciously took a few steps back, but when he came to his senses, he realized that he had been fooled by a cripple. His face darkened.
"If you dare to kill me, the aboriginals will definitely chase you to the ends of the earth!"
He thought that this threat would definitely scare the other party witless.
But the two of them looked at him as if they were looking at an idiot.
"Fourth Master Zhao, if I wanted to kill you, all I have to do is force you into the fire and let you burn to death. Such a large fire can directly burn a person into charcoal. At that time, who would know that you are the Fourth Master of the Zhao family? "
Lin Mengya's tone was gentle, but her voice was cold, as if what she said was not just a hypothetical threat, but the truth.
But Zhao Jian also had his own confidence.
"You really think that you are smart! How do you think this fire started? "
Now that things had come to this, Zhao Jian was ready to throw caution to the wind.
"Let me tell you the truth. If I really die, then you will not be able to clear your name. Along the way, there must have been people watching me, and they must have seen the conflict between you and me clearly. They will push all the blame on you. At that time, I will see how you will prove your innocence! "
This was the reason why Zhao Jian was so confident.
Lin Mengya and Long Tianhao's expression changed.
"You know who they are?" She asked.
"Ha, even if I saw them with my own eyes, I can guess most of it." Zhao Jian was confident.
"This …" She was a little hesitant.
Long Tianhao narrowed his eyes and asked in a low voice, "What is your request?"
Zhao Jian curled his lips, as if victory was already in his hands.
"It's very simple. As long as you escort me safely to the Zhao family, I will consider letting you go."
"Consider?" Lin Mengya laughed coldly. "Do you think we are fools? Do you think you will let us go so easily when we reach the Zhao family's territory?
I am afraid that once we reach the Zhao family, you will have a backer and can bully us even more unscrupulously. "
Zhao Jian's plan was seen through by her, and his expression became a little unnatural.
"Then what do you want?"
"It's very simple." Lin Mengya suddenly smiled gently.
"As long as you, Mister Zhao, sign and say that the massacre of the Sheng family and the fire this time were all done by the Zhao family, I can safely send you back to the Zhao family."
"Impossible!" Zhao Jian became anxious, pointing at her and scolding her.
"Women are the most vicious! The Zhao family has nothing to do with this, and we did not know what happened to the Sheng family! You are clearly doing this to harm the Zhao family! "
"That's not right."
Lin Mengya became even more indifferent.
"What do you mean by I am harming the Zhao family? It's just a guarantee between us, that's all. As long as Mister Zhao does not break the promise, this piece of paper will forever be a piece of waste paper. "
Zhao Jian finally saw it clearly. This woman was a poisonous snake!
He regretted not getting rid of her in the first place, but letting her ride over his head.
But just as those vicious thoughts rose in his mind, he found that the man who almost broke his arm with a whip was staring at him with a dark face.
At that moment, he did not even dare to think about it. He could only lower his head and curse their cunning in his heart.
"Mister Zhao, opportunities wait for no man. You won't get another chance like this if you miss it. "
Lin Mengya exchanged a look with Long Tianhao. The latter waved his hand, and a small group of the hidden guards immediately appeared.
To Zhao Jian, this was both a pressure and a help.
Whether he wanted to return to the Zhao family alive or not, it was up to him.
The fire burned more and more fiercely, but the wailing inside gradually disappeared.
Finally, after a few minutes of increasingly anxious silence, Zhao Jian suddenly raised his head.
"I'll sign!"
