Feng Qiqi left the inner city and climbed the mountain road.

The flames began to spread to the back of the mountain, and the woods below had begun to burn.

As he walked along, he saw people not far away.

The back mountain is a magical mountain. The top of it is the crater, and the bottom is dense forest. The temperature around the crater is not hot, so people can stand around it.

At this time, the younger sister, wearing a sacrificial crown, was standing among a group of adults, near the crater.

The way those adults looked at her was no different from looking at a prey.

Feng Qiqi watched this scene with some sadness.

... The reason why humans are superior to other animals is reason...

When an antelope is chased and killed by a lion, it will subconsciously run towards the group and implicate its companions. However, human rationality enables human beings to defy their instincts and their nature. It gives human beings the courage to wait in place and even run in the opposite direction.

Those who fear death can die for the faith in their hearts. Those who desire to live can die for spiritual independence.

This is the greatness of human beings.

At this time, in Feng Qiqi's view, the little sister who wore the sacrificial crown and did not run away was more human than these beast-like elders.

He gripped the black knife tightly, and immediately wanted to rush up—

"—what are you going to do?"

Suddenly, a male voice came from behind him.

He looked over blankly and saw a black-haired youth who had just climbed the mountain and looked at him.

"It's you?" Feng Qiqi recognized Su Ming'an: "I'm going to save Qian Qian."

"Don't go." Su Mingan said.

"You want me to give up Sissi and let me go?"

"Otherwise, will I keep you for dinner?" Su Ming'an said.

When Feng Qiqi heard it, he laughed angrily: "I thought you were a sensible adult, but you are no different from those elders!"

"..." Su Mingan looked at him: "You'd better leave now. Because your sister won't die, it's you who is in danger."

"Why?"

"Did you forget that talent transformation circle?" Su Mingan said.

Feng Qiqi's expression was slightly stagnant.

He knew that before each succession ceremony, the person who was selected to put in the magma would be the most gifted child in the clan.

Lord Baishen has given people an instrument to detect talent, allowing them to accurately select the existence with the best talent.

In this session, the people with the best talent are him and his younger sister. Their talents are on the same level, so they have to choose one of them to put into the magma.

But now, after trying the Innate Bloodline Awakening Formation, Feng Qiqi's talent has become higher than Qian Qian's, and he has become the most talented person in the clan.

Standing on the spot, Feng Qiqi suddenly realized this.

... The candidate to be pushed into the lava is no longer Qian Qian.

but him.

Not far away, the preparations for the elders have entered the final steps.

The first elder raised the talent detection instrument, and the instrument emitted light, like a radar. Its modern style of painting seems a little out of place in the dome.

A ray of light lit up on the body of Feng Qiqi, who was stunned, and it was no longer Qian Qian by the crater.

The pointer of the instrument pointed in his direction.

The first elder saw Feng Qiqi hiding in the woods at a glance. Under the detection radar, Feng Qiqi had nothing to hide.

"—It's Feng Qiqi! He's there!" he shouted loudly.

"What's the matter? How could the talent change? Why did Feng Qiqi's talent suddenly surpass Qian Qian's?" Some people were surprised.

"Don't worry about so much, change the candidates first! Act fast, the fire is already burning!"

They let go of Qian Qian and rushed towards Feng Qiqi.

Feng Qiqi turned around and ran.

He came because he wanted to replace Sissi, but now that Sissi is no longer a candidate, she is completely safe, and he doesn't need to keep Lai.

The flames gradually spread from the bottom of the mountain and approached the top of the mountain. This fire burned extremely fast, and during the natural disaster period, it was given a very terrifying bonus, and it spread like a mountain.

He couldn't outrun the five elders at all.

Fifth Elder Mijiale just flashed a ray of light in his hand, Feng Qiqi's steps slowed down, and the blue light pulled his steps, making him unable to rush through the flames.

"Don't run! Do you want to see the destruction of the first clan! Think of those tribes in the sea of ​​​​fire!" The elder said in a loud voice: "You are the son of the young clan chief, do you want your clan to be destroyed?"

Feng Qiqi gritted his teeth.

"—Bai Shen doesn't care about us at all! I set the fire, and it has nothing to do with Bai Shen!" He shouted: "Bai Shen has never appeared! You have been deceived by those researchers from the outside world. I lied to you!"

He was right, and he just guessed the truth. But the elders did not believe it at all.

The first elder stretched out his hand, and a dazzling light rose from his body, and a big hand with flickering golden light condensed out of thin air and caught Feng Qiqi, who was unable to move.

At this critical moment, Su Mingan stretched out his hand.

"boom--!"

Under the gazes of people, the big hand flickering with golden light was suddenly shattered by an invisible wave, and the shattered light gradually disappeared.

He blocked the attack of the Great Elder.

"Okay, that's it," Su Mingan said.

He knew that the ritual of offering sacrifices to the gods was indeed fake.

At this point in time, Baishen has not been formed by people's beliefs, and he does not exist yet.

So far, all the so-called oracles, sacrifices, myths and legends have only been fabricated by outsiders.

Not to mention the one in the hands of the Great Elder, which is obviously a talent detector of modern craftsmanship.

The ritual of the gods is currently only a means for outsiders to weaken the power of the sky and remove the most talented people. In the face of this fire, whether it is Feng Qiqi's death or Qian Qian's death, it will have no effect.

The ignorant beliefs make these people lose their humanity, turn them into beasts, ignore reason, and do extremely cruel things. It's been instilled and ingrained in a way by design, whether it's an absurd method or not.

It is now vividly displayed before the eyes.

Even in the original world, there were people who would kill the living for ghost marriages for superstition, or drown babies for a good omen. Even, these things will develop into an industrial chain, allowing people to benefit from it.

For some kind of superstition, the means of turning the living into the dead are extremely despicable.

"—What nonsense are you talking about! Lord Baishen, Lord Baishen he—" The elder's beard was trembling with anger.

"Bai God, it doesn't exist yet." Su Ming'an interrupted him lightly: "You guys are just entertaining yourself for hundreds of years."

He raised his hand and launched gravity suppression.

"—Bam! Boom! Bam!"

An extremely strong gravity pressed down on the people. Except for the strongest elder, the other four elders were slammed to the ground by this blow, and their knees were all smashed with blood.

As there was still hot volcanic ash on the ground, a burnt smell of barbecue came out.

Su Ming'an took out the amber knife and waved it hard—

This time, he activated Amber's active skill and injected almost all the mana.

...

[Active Skill (Condensation): The next attack will have the effect of "Space Fragmentation", which will cause additional slash damage to the enemy. 】

...

"boom--!"

In the sight of people's shock, violent shaking broke out.

Volcanic ash and nighttime fog obscured people's view, and cracked bloodstains began to appear on their bodies.

"Clap clap clap-"

A strong explosion sounded, and bursts of humming sounded like bursting beans.

Branches fell to the ground like snowflakes, and even the surrounding trees began to fall. The elders who had not had time to get up, their limbs were pulled by a violent force, as if countless hands were tearing their muscles and skin.

The blood overflowed from the twisted muscles, dyeing their clothes red, and they fell to the ground before they could even raise their hands.

The first elder shouted, and galloped away like a gust of wind, only to find that the four elders on the ground had fallen into a coma.

Su Mingan pulled Feng Qiqi and Qian Qian up, turned around and sprinted.

The first elder will definitely save the four elders on the ground as soon as possible, and this is the time for them to escape.

Being increased by four times his strength, he can indeed try to compete with the elder one or two, and use the long-lasting damage transfer skill of Guanghui to find opportunities. But now it's not just him, the fire is raging, and the surroundings have begun to burn, and Feng Qiqi and Qian Qian who are present are very dangerous.

As soon as they die, the main quest will fail.

He took Feng Qiqi and Qian Qian into the fire, the flames were extremely fierce, but he couldn't help him in the shadow state, but Qian Qian couldn't bear it.

"Wait, I'll make the way ahead!" Feng Qiqi shouted, holding a black knife and splitting the flames.

Intense black energy spread around him, rising into the sky as if it was about to shake the four seas, and the waves of fire were forcibly cut open with his blade, just like Moses splitting out of the Red Sea.

He rushed to the front, swung the blade in his hand, and his small body had an explosive force that could almost disrupt the world.

After being enhanced by the bloodline magic circle, the ultimate destructive power of "Destroyer" can already be seen.

The stale dust smell of the wooden structure mixed with the hot heat drifted around them, and the odor of burning food, the smell of burnt human body, and the smell of withered grass and trees were all around.

Since their vision was completely obscured by all kinds of fog, they could not see where the periphery was. Feng Qiqi could only reluctantly recognize the way with some unburned buildings.

Suddenly they heard a cry.

"—Qiqi!"

"—Cissy! Where are you!"

"Qi Qian, Qi Qi! Cough, cough, cough!!"

In the thick smoke, there were several shouts, some middle-aged voices, and some childish voices of children.

"Yes..." Qian Qian's eyes lit up, and she immediately pulled on Feng Qiqi's clothes: "—it's mom! It's mom and dad! And Changsheng and the others—"

The flames were cut open, and the figures of the middle-aged man and woman were faintly visible in the bright red. Behind them, there were four children protecting them. Leading the way is a boy with scars on his face, it is the "shadow" of Qian Qian.

The flames walked around the shadow without hurting him, and the shadow seemed to be resistant to this kind of flame.

"—Qi Qian! Qi Qi!"

"Dad! Mom!"

Seeing relatives, very excited. Si Ke and Chu Shan were still under house arrest, but the clan suddenly caught fire.

Taking advantage of the emptiness of their defenses, the two of them broke out together, and happened to meet the shadows and children who came to them.

"Quick, go this way!" Sik knew the way, and he immediately rushed out with the children.

Chu Shan's ability is a protective shield. She followed the child and held up the shield to block the flames.

"How did you find us?" Sissi asked Shadow as she ran.

"He has the smell of Baishen." The shadow pointed at Su Ming'an: "I can smell it from a distance."

"Bai God?" Several people looked at Su Ming'an in surprise, but now was not the time to ask questions.

They ran out of the tribe all the way, and the fire had begun to gradually become smaller, and it was the elders who took action to suppress the fire.

But a few people were not happy.

Because, they have already seen that there is something bright red like blood flowing down from the top of the mountain at a very fast speed. Even the air on the top of the mountain began to "puff puff".

"...No." Feng Qiqi realized a very terrifying point.

Originally, even if the clan caught fire, it would not be completely destroyed, but now... it seems that a terrifying chain reaction has occurred.

……volcanic eruptions.

Looking at the scope, if volcanoes do erupt, a lot of hot gas and pyroclastic material can completely submerge their area.

"No—" A child shook his head desperately: "The volcano will not erupt, no! We will all be safe, no one will die..."

"Don't worry, everyone, we'll be fine, Master Shushan is very powerful, she can protect us..."

"Lord Zewan, the volcano won't erupt, right! This volcano has been quiet for so many years, and it won't erupt now..."

"..." Looking at these chattering children, Su Mingan fell silent.

at this moment,

He suddenly remembered a letter from Zhao Weidong in the laboratory.

...

[Pingping:

Spread the letter good.

The dome fell into a natural disaster period very early, the volcano erupted, we couldn't go out, and the ground was full of scalding soil and high temperature. 】

...

disaster period.

volcanic eruptions.

……I see.

...it was at this point in time.

Su Ming'an looked at the red-hot volcano, as if witnessing a sad history.

It's like watching a hammer of fate, hitting them in an unstoppable manner.

"...No, it's going to explode," he said. "It's going to explode."

Like the hand of fate, pushing all this to happen.

He stood amidst the fiery flames, beside him were screaming people.

He raised his head ~lightnovelpub.net~ with a violent sound, and at this moment, it erupted like the end of the world.

volcanic eruptions.

Bright red filled his vision.

At this time, he seemed to have understood why the parents of Feng Qiqi and Qian Qian, who clearly loved them very much, did not show up after a few years.

He suddenly understood why, after a few years, none of these children appeared beside Feng Qiqi except Changsheng.

He understood why, there would be burning marks on the back of Changsheng's neck in the future.

... He understood why, Sibel's arms were covered with terrifying burns.

...

He understands everything.

...
