The gnome elder's expression changed, and his eyes revealed a look of shock. The other gnomes who were knocked to the ground were even more unbearable. They hugged each other and trembled, as if they had seen a ghost.
"How could it be like this? Isn't it not time yet?" The gnome elder muttered.
At this moment, the Goblin Chieftain gave a long string of orders, and the group of guards behind him immediately turned around and left.
Longyi caught his breath and pulled the gnome elder back to ask, "What exactly is going on? What kind of monster did that roar come from? "
The gnome elder sighed softly, and his expression was somewhat complicated. He said, "That's a divine beast of fire that lives in the underground lava. It's the magical pet of the Fire God. Every time this happens, we have to sacrifice eighteen pairs of young boys and girls to it to quell the divine beast's anger. Otherwise, our gnome race will be destroyed by it in an instant."
Longyi and Windling were dumbfounded. Longyi asked in surprise, "Don't you believe in the Fire God? Why does his divine beast treat you like this? "
The gnome elder shook his head, sighed, and said, "That's right. We, the gnome race, will always be the servants of the Fire God. It's their honor that those eighteen young boys and girls can be sacrificed to the divine beast of fire."
Windling looked at the gnome elder's bitter face, and could not help but chuckle. "But elder's words seem to be somewhat insincere."
The gnome elder's expression froze, and he shook his head with a bitter smile.
Long Yi was very angry. To a person whose soul came from the 21st century, this kind of behavior was simply absurd and stupid. At this moment, eighteen pairs of young boys and girls from the gnome race were carried out, and their heads were all wet. It was obvious that they had taken a bath in a hurry. Their childish eyes revealed fear and uneasiness, but strangely, they did not cry or make a fuss.
The gnome clan leader shouted a few times, and a long line of people began to move forward. A group of kobolds wailed and chased after the procession, obviously they were the family members of those 18 pairs of virgin boys and virgin girls, but the guards behind however however ruthlessly knocked them down to the ground, and they could only look on helplessly as their children walked towards death without being able to do anything. That hoarse and lung splitting wail made Long Yi and Feng Ling feel sad in their hearts.
The Gnome Elder rushed to the front of the group, while Longyi and Windling followed behind the group. They wanted to see if the Flame Divine Beast had three heads and six arms.
As the team turned left and right in the underground passage, the roars of the Fire Mythological Beast became clearer and clearer. When he didn't see its true form, a powerful aura rushed towards him.
At this moment, the team turned into a naked passage. The temperature suddenly increased by ten to twenty degrees, as if they had been placed into a huge steamer basket. Longyi knew that the Flame Mythological Beast's habitat should be up ahead.
Not long after, the procession stopped and knelt down in unison. Even the gnome clan leader and the elder were no exception. Longyi looked into the distance, and saw that there was a fiery red pit at the end of the passage. Lava splashed out from time to time. Waves of hot air surged out, making people feel as if they were burning from the inside out.
The gnome elder stood up and used his withered claw-like hands to wave around the bodies of the 18 boys and girls a few times. Then, he pointed at the deep pit that was splashing lava. Immediately, the guards carrying the boys and girls stood up and walked towards the deep pit.
Longyi narrowed his eyes. This was the gnome race's matter, and he didn't want to interfere. However, he could only watch as the gnome children were thrown into the lava. He felt very uncomfortable in his heart.
At this moment, the first pair of virgin boy and virgin girl was already thrown high into the air. The eyes of Long Yi suddenly widened, and before he had time to think, he roared and dashed forward. His figure left afterimages in the midair, and his hands grabbed the void, and the pair of children who were already falling were sucked into his hands. And he just happened to see a fiery red huge monster soaking in the magma, waiting for him with its neck stretched out.
"Fire Qilin?" Longyi exclaimed in a low voice. He didn't dare to believe it. This monster really looked like the Fire Qilin in Chinese mythology. It had the body of an elk, the tail of an ox, and the hooves of a horse. Its body was also covered in a layer of fiery red scales. There was a shiny horn on its head, and there was yellow meat at the tip of the horn.
However, the Fire Qilin was obviously very angry that Longyi had snatched away the food that was in its mouth. It roared and shot a mouthful of hot lava at Longyi in the air.
Longyi scattered the lava with a backhand palm. Immediately after, he smashed the Ice Tornado Roar towards the Fire Qilin in the lava. At the same time, he used the Heaven and Earth Great Shift to return to the entrance of the cave. Without any explanation, he stuffed the pair of gnome children who had fainted from fear into the hands of the two guards who were carrying them.
The gnome leader and the gnome elder pointed at Longyi with trembling fingers. They couldn't say anything for a long time.
The Fire Qilin forcefully withstood Longyi's Ice Tornado Roar. It rolled around in the lava in rage. The entire underground tunnel started to shake, and rocks started to fall from the top.
The gnomes couldn't be bothered to talk to Longyi anymore. They ran back quickly like rabbits. In the blink of an eye, only Longyi and Windling were left.
Windling rolled her eyes at Longyi, while Longyi shrugged with a smile. He even took the time to look behind him. What he saw was terrible. The fiery red lava was like a volcano erupting and surging towards them.
Longyi let out a strange cry and sealed the entrance of the cave with a World of Ice and Snow. However, it only lasted for less than half a second before it melted. Looking at the surging lava, Longyi took a deep breath and floated up. His arms turned into countless illusions as he shouted in a low voice, "Thousand Gale Leaves Palm of Great Compassion." This was the fusion of ancient Chinese martial art Great Compassion Great Sorrow Thousand Leaves Palm and wind magic. This was the first time Long Yi was experimenting with it. Countless palm shadows shot out innumerable powerful qi, and between these powerful qi, cyan colored wind magic, wind element, cleverly formed an inescapable net of powerful qi. Not only the speed was very fast, the power was also increased by several times.
The surging lava was caught by Longyi's inescapable net and sent flying back.
"What kind of magic is this?" Feng Ling exclaimed in admiration and asked. That move of Long Yi's Great Compassion and Great Sorrow Thousand Leaves Gale Palm of just now was truly too beautiful, elegant and nimble, and those countless arms making different postures made people gasp in amazement.
Longyi chuckled. Just as he was about to answer, there was a loud bang and the entire cave collapsed. Longyi carried Windling, and the two of them were buried alive by the rocks.
