Death really came like this, suddenly.

At first it was a group of dozens of women and children walking south. They went to the hot springs to wash their clothes. They were talking gossips happily, and suddenly the few women walking in the front seemed to have their throats strangled. So, almost everyone, whether women or children, felt the pain of suffocation, they fell to the ground and struggled and convulsed.

Seeing this scene from a distance will only make people extremely scared. Dozens of living people, on the grass, without any enemies or beasts, seemed to be attacked by an invisible evil spirit, and suddenly died in pain.

A girl who fell behind, turned and ran back in horror.

"Reaper is here!"

Accompanied by a sharp cry, fear quickly spread throughout the camp.

The woman who was cooking in the camp rushed out, and the young child who was gathering plants around jumped up, and the young soldiers who were gossiping around became nervous.

Everyone looked to the south of the slope, the girl who left the line and screamed to escape. In the horrified sight of everyone, she suddenly strangled her throat, made a terrible huh, and fell to the ground.

The relatives of a little girl wanted to go to rescue, but they had not been in contact with others, and they fell into the same tragic situation one after another.

The scope of death is constantly expanding, as if there is an invisible monster, opening its huge mouth in the blood basin, devouring one after another of human lives, starting recently, gradually lurking upward...

"It's the curse of the goddess, and the scope of the curse has expanded!" Finally someone shouted.

"Run quickly!"

The screams came one after another.

It seems that in a long time, the people of the Xuelie clan have experienced such torture more than once, and they reacted quickly, helping the old and the young, and ran away desperately.

The originally peaceful and cozy camp turned into a pot of boiling water in an instant, or the kind of explosives being thrown away.

There were people running on all sides, and there were crying and crying for help.

In this chaos, Suror rushed to Qin Nuo and the others, screaming loudly: "My lord, get out of here, the curse of the goddess is coming, as long as the curse descends on the land, it will become barren, without any life energy. exist."

Everyone in Pei Tuo is obviously a little flustered. They are all experienced people, but they have never experienced this kind of enemy. They are invisible and intangible, but they sound extremely powerful.

In fact, what you see with the naked eye is also very powerful.

Just a few hundred meters away, three or four young people fell to the ground. They had tried to rescue a dozen children, but they were grabbed by the ankles by the sudden arrival of death, and their running pace came to a halt.

Everyone immediately became nervous.

Yan Chang said hurriedly: "Let's get out of here quickly, we will withdraw one after another."

Qin Nuo stared at the scene before him, he suddenly turned around and picked up the torch hanging in front of the camp, and then used his strength to throw it at the bottom.

The fierce flame seemed to be thrown into cold water, in mid-air, suddenly extinguished, turned into a wooden stick, and fell to the ground.

Qin Nuo's face was blue and turned around, "Go right away, go to a higher place!"

Although several people were puzzled by the emperor's actions, time was running out and no one had time to ask. They immediately turned around and ran back.

Mixed in the crowd, Qin Nuo saw that the high priest walked out tremblingly with the support of several chief priests, looking at the people who were struggling and falling to the ground, his face was pale and he knelt on the ground.

A trembling voice sounded, and he shouted hoarsely: "If you still harbor resentment, swallow me, Li Tuoer, this is the tribe you once blessed! Why treat them so cruelly!"

Qin Nuo passed by this group of people and couldn't help but shouted: "Please the high priest quickly organize the people, retreat immediately, retreat to a higher place, and there is still a ray of life!"

However, the high priest did not pay attention to him. The old man seemed to have been knocked down by the cruel reality.

Qin Nuo stopped anxiously. Looking at the chaotic team behind him.

Because the invisible god of death is approaching, everyone is running away, but they don't know where to flee. Many people are running around like headless flies.

The direction was wrong, and the result was that he fell to the ground and could no longer get up.

Qin Nuo looked anxious, and Lin Jia just came up.

He grabbed Lin Jia's collar and shouted: "Hurry up and organize the people to evacuate to a high place. There is still a ray of life to the high place!"

Lin Jia looked at the emperor with confusion.

Qin Nuo was about to explode.

What curse of the goddess, go to hell!

It's not a god of death at all, this tm is the gas before the volcanic eruption, such as ultra-high concentration of carbon dioxide, and it is afraid that there are sulfide, hydride and other highly poisonous.

damn it! The terrain here is low-lying and a valley, and molecules such as carbon dioxide are heavier than ordinary air, so they gather underneath. Once it surges, it's the scene where death descends.

Such a huge amount of high-concentration carbon dioxide must be due to volcanic fissures in the valley. This also explains why there is still snow on the top of the valley in the cold winter, and the entire valley can still maintain extremely high temperatures.

"Go to prevent the people from retreating and let everyone go to a higher place. It is the upsurge of poison gas, not the curse of some goddess!" Qin Nuo shouted angrily.

I didn't understand what carbon dioxide was, but Lin Jia understood the word poison gas instantly.

Lin Jia took a deep look at Qin Nuo and quickly ran back to the high priest, whispering something.

The high priest not far away raised his head, as if he had just awakened from a nightmare of collapse.

He stood up tremblingly, and began to order several priests around him.

With the leader, the chaos in the camp was finally brought under control. Several chief priests organized a team and led the crowd to retreat to the mountains to the east.

At this time, Qin Nuo had already taken everyone to climb the mountain.

This valley is surrounded by mountains on all sides, and the one on the east side is fairly gentle.

After walking about a few hundred meters over the mountains and ridges, turned head and looked around, and behind him was a tide-like team. The Xuelie tribe, supporting the old and the young, came here.

But because there were too many women and children in the team, the speed of advance was greatly slowed down.

Young people like Tao Yunqing are helping and supporting, but they cannot take care of too many people.

Those who fell behind kept falling down, indicating that the scope of this damn gas was still expanding.

In this posture, is it possible that the volcano is about to erupt? Recalling the underground roar he heard in the middle of the night, Qin Nuo was full of fear.

Everyone climbed up and ran desperately, and there was endless crying behind them.

Yan Chang couldn't stand it anymore, Qin Nuo sighed, "Go down and help." Dozens of young people began to work with Tao Yunqing to rescue the backward women and children.

Race against death, everyone is doing their best for their lives.

Before they knew it, everyone had already climbed halfway up the mountain. After half an hour passed, no one fell behind for no reason. This escaped team gradually slowed down.

On a fairly flat and broad piece of land halfway up the mountain, everyone stopped.

Countless women and children collapsed on their knees, exhausted. Even young people like Pei Tuo and Tao Yunqing, who are energetic in their bodies, have pale faces.

The violent flight almost drained everyone's last strength. At the end of the run, each of them supported several women and children, running back and forth, and it was more expensive.

Even Qin Nuo ignored Chen Changan's obstruction and helped several children.

The paralysis usually sat down on the ground, and it took a long time to relax. Qin Nuo struggled to stand up, because he saw that the high priest with white beard and hair was walking towards him with the support of several young people. Lin Jia is among them.

To Qin Nuo, the high priest bowed.

"Thank you for the little general's previous reminder. If it weren't for your guidance, most of us would not have escaped this catastrophe."

Qin Nuo smiled bitterly, "The high priest is polite. It's no help. I thank you all for hospitality and treatment of my subordinates for many days. I haven't said thank you yet."

Standing halfway up the mountain, looking down and looking into the distance, the original campsite has become dead and silent. The tent is only the size of a fingernail, and in it lies a little bit of different colors the size of sesame seeds. Those tribesmen who had not had time to escape, have turned into corpses.

The bonfire in front of the camp was extinguished, and white smoke was floating. Just a few hours ago, there was laughter and laughter everywhere, and in a blink of an eye it became a place of death.

Thousands of people died in an accident.

Turning his head to look at these people who finally fled to the middle of the mountain, their faces pale and desperate, still immersed in fear.

The high priest asked again: "Before the little general said it was poisonous gas, I don't know what it is?"

Qin Nuo frowned. The concept of carbon dioxide was definitely inexplicable. He thought for a while, and said: "I take the liberty to ask, this Tianxing Mountain is regarded as a sacred mountain by the nobles. Why?"

We Xueliee migrated here more than three hundred years ago. It is said that we were summoned by the light on the top of the holy mountain. This light shines day and night, the storm does not move, the rain does not die, and in the dark night, it will always emit supreme Light. Guide the first people of the tribe to migrate to this land. That is the guidance of God. Strangely, just after the tribe migrated to this land, the fire went out. Then, the leader of the tribe found that the land was rich and fertile, and the water plants were more fertile than other areas. So the tribe took root here.

Qin Nuo nodded, "If I guess it is not bad, this Tianxing Mountain should be a volcano."

Hundreds of years ago, the area around here was originally a very barren area, with no one to show. At the beginning of the migration of the Xuelie people, it was probably after the eruption of Tianxing Mountain that the fire on the top of the mountain was gradually extinguished. When they arrived here, the volcanic ash covered the originally barren land and formed a rich and fertile soil layer.

They lived here, thrived and thrived, and gradually became a huge and powerful tribe over hundreds of years.

"Volcano?" The high priest expressed doubts about this strange concept.

"It's the place where the earth fire erupted." Qin Nuo explained.

Earth fire erupts? The high priest looked solemn, he was old after all, and he had experienced the prosperity of the Xuelie clan in its heyday, and he had read many classics of various races. Occasionally, there are short-lived records of flames gushing from the ground, and the ancients called it the wrath of the gods.

"The earth is like a human body, divided into hot, cold, ice and fire. This so-called volcano is the outlet of underground fire and heat. The heat is rising all the year round, so this valley is so spring-like all year round, with abundant products and hot springs all around. But the crater Not only will it bring heat, but there will also be some poisonous miasma." Qin Nuo tried his best to explain the matter in the simplest, straightforward and classical words.

"The little general is saying that this is the poisonous gas erupting from the ground fire and covering the valley?" The high priest quickly changed Qin Nuo's words into an understandable one, "how did the little general know about these things? ?"

"It was recorded in ancient books," Qin Nuo said.

Lin Jia thought deeper: "The clear air is light and floating, and the muddy air is heavy and down. Therefore, when the sky is clear and the earth is muddy, it is no wonder that the general said just now that he wants to escape the muddy air and he needs to flee up..."

This explanation seems to be fine.

Qin Nuo added: "This odor is colorless, tasteless, and hard to detect. Often people lose their lives in their sleep, just like the death of death, so it is very harmful." Even in modern society, because sleeping in a car is like this. Enclosed spaces lead to carbon dioxide poisoning from time to time.

"In that case, Xuelie City more than 20 years ago was also..." The high priest suddenly thought of something, and his body trembled.

Qin Nuo lowered his gaze, recalling the location of Xue Lie City, which happened to be between the mountain crevices on both sides. If it was the large-scale high-concentration carbon dioxide that spewed from the mountain crevices that year, the accumulation of carbon dioxide would indeed cause such a tragedy.

But it is a wonder that such a huge amount of poison gas has not really erupted. Perhaps the place where the earth fire broke out was deep underground, separated by a thick rock layer, the magma did not gush out of the ground, it just caused a large-scale earthquake.

Reminiscent of the subsequent series of natural disasters of the Xuelie clan, continuous earthquakes, depleted rivers, and dry pastures, Qin Nuo could probably guess the situation at that time.

The high priest settled his mind, and finally asked: "So according to what the little general has heard, is there a solution to this stale air?"

Qin Nuo thought for a while, shook his head, "No." Oxygen masks simply cannot be made in this era.

The high priest's face paled for a moment, and he gritted his teeth and asked, "Then when will the stale air dissipate?"

Hearing this question, Qin Nuo's body trembled, and he finally realized one thing, a problem that his exhausted brain hadn't had time to think about.

If the poisonous gas in the valley cannot be dissipated, how can they go down the mountain?

Today, there are tens of thousands of people scattered on the mountainside! Because before entering the valley only temporarily, everyone brought only a small amount of food, and because the valley was warm, they didn't wear too thick clothes.

Qin Nuo looked around in fear. Many women and children shuddered and shivered. The mother hugged the child, and a group of people gathered together, drawing warmth from each other.

The climate here is not as warm as the valley, and the temperature halfway up the mountain is already very cold. Although there is no such thing as dripping ice outside, it is not a long-term support for frail women and children.

Qin Nuo didn't answer, but his abrupt expression had already told the high priest the answer.

Even Lin Jia showed a look of fear. Could it be that these tens of thousands of people will be trapped alive and dead on this mountainside?
