"You all know how much trouble you have caused!" Elder Canlo scolded several young people in the tent angrily, stabbing his cane.

Several young people looked at each other, all bowed their heads and remained silent.

"The Fierce Eagles have always acted arrogantly, and they will never let us go."

Sang Mu couldn't help but said: "They don't have any evidence to prove that we stole it, can they still kill everyone?"

Five people participated in this operation, from the three tribes of Wanzhi, Pato, and Fonker. They are all young people who have long held grudges against the Fierc Eagles. They are young and energetic, and they act recklessly. They heard that salt can heal the tribe. Due to the disease, they made an appointment to sneak into the salt field of the Fierc Eagle to steal, but they were accidentally discovered.

"You think they don't dare?" Elder Kanluo shouted, "Don't you understand why there are only fifteen tribes left in the grasslands?"

"Then, what to do then?" a young man from the Funkel tribe asked in a low voice.

"For now, the only plan is to refuse to admit it, and the Fier Eagles don't know which tribe they stole from." Elder Kanluo sighed, "You guys have been staying in the tribe these days, and you are not allowed anywhere. go!"

At this time, Pato's patriarch said: "The disaster has already happened. I guess the people of the fierce eagle clan will soon come to investigate. How should we deal with it?"

"We can only act by chance." Elder Canlo said, "We can't guess what the Fierce Eagle Clan will do now, we can only issue a password to all the clan members, and things about these boys must not be leaked. "

Several patriarchs nodded in agreement.

"Elder, it's not good, the people from the Fierce Eagle Clan are here!"

It was a blessing, not a disaster, it was a disaster that could not be avoided. Everyone looked at each other and told the five young people not to leave the tent and then walked out together.

At this time, there were a dozen tall war horses standing in the middle of the tribe, and a knight was sitting on each war horse.

"Yesterday someone broke into the salt field to steal at night, do you know about this?" The leader of the knight was a bearded man, he asked Elder Canlo coldly.

Elder Canlo bowed and replied, "I don't know, my family was gathering last night, and no one went out."

"Humph!" The bearded man sneered, "Party? No wonder there are so many patriarchs here. What do you guys want to do together?"

"I'm waiting to discuss going to Guannai to find a doctor to treat the people."

"Oh?" The bearded man looked around and saw many old people with sallow complexions, and sneered, "You bastards really need to find someone to take care of them, all of them are like groundhogs."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the clan showed anger.

"Okay, let's not mention this matter for the time being, you quickly hand over the ten thieves last night, but there is no need to cover up and kill!"

ten? There were only five people who went to steal last night, but this group of bastards were so open-hearted, but they couldn't even say anything to refute. Kanluo said with a pale face: "Why did your lord say this? Who is the thief, and I don't know who the thief is, so how can they be handed over?"

"Don't pretend to be stupid!" The bearded man said unceremoniously, "Besides you, who else would dare to steal from the saltworks?"

"My lord, is there any evidence that our people did it?"

"Yeah, it would be too hasty to say that we want to hand over someone without evidence."

"How can our clansmen steal things, adults don't wrong us."

The people around you shouted loudly.

"Shut up!" The bearded man shouted angrily, "You dare to say that my lord has wronged you? Oh, my lord will give you two choices."

"What choice?" Elder Canlo asked hurriedly.

"One, hand over the ten thieves, and this is the end of the matter; two, send someone to accept the test of the True Flame Road, once passed, it means that God has also confirmed your innocence, and my Fierce Eagle Clan will no longer pursue it. ."

Elder Canlo and the rest of the crowd changed their expressions.

Murphy and the others in the crowd were full of doubts, what is the road to true flames?

Elder Canlo begged loudly: "Sir, please be kind! The thief is indeed not my clan!"

"I don't care about this. I'll give you two days. After two days, I will gather at the refining platform and announce your choice."

After he finished speaking, he drove away with Zhong Shi without waiting for the others to react.

As soon as the people of the Fierce Eagles left, the entire Wanzhen tribe fell into pain and depression.

Murphy walked over to Elder Canlo and asked in a low voice, "Elder, what is this true flame path?"

Elder Canlo sighed: "It is a suspended ropeway about 30 meters long, connected by iron chains on both sides, with several rows of iron nails inlaid in the middle, and flames will rise under the ropeway lock at the same time. , not only have to endure the pain of burning, but also the pain of scraping bones."

Murphy and the others took a deep breath. What kind of cruel torture was this?

Elder Kanluo smiled bitterly and said, "I am afraid that my clan will be doomed this time. No one has successfully passed the True Flame Road since the establishment of the Fierce Eagle Clan. They used this method to kill countless rebels. Once the test fails, we will bear everything. Responsibility, let it be punished, and there must be no complaints."

Murphy frowned, and was about to say something when he heard a few roars coming from a certain tent, and then a few young people ran out and rushed to Elder Canlo: "Elder, one person does things and one person is responsible, Let's plead guilty."

Elder Canlo shook his head and said feebly: "You go? You are all the future of our clan, how can you be sent to death? Those thieves lied about the number of ten people, and we have to sacrifice five innocents?"

Several young people couldn't help crying, Sang Mu knelt and said: "I'm sorry, it was our recklessness that killed the clan."

"It's useless to say this now. You are also risking your own life for the sake of your clan's talents. Come back, let us handle this matter, and you don't have to make extra troubles." Elder Kanluo seemed to have aged ten years. A wrinkled face looks older.

"Sir, do you have any good ideas?" Baozun asked in a low voice.

Murphy shook his head: "This matter is different from the situation in Donggao Town, where the five leaders can only be regarded as bandits. The Fierce Eagles are large in number and well-trained. Although there are many young adults in the tribe, they lack unified training and deployment, and they do not have sophisticated equipment. There is no chance of winning against the Fierce Eagle Clan."

"Then you can only choose one of the two?" Baozun sighed, "Which one you choose is dead!"

Murphy looked in the direction where Elder Canluo was leaving, and said lightly: "Just watch the changes! It can be said that several tribes have been in trouble because of our arrival. If I can help, I may be at ease."

It was night, and several leaders discussed countermeasures in Elder Canlo's tent, but they did not rest for a long time.

The next day, Elder Canlo appeared neatly in front of everyone with a faint smile on his face.

Murphy asked strangely, "Elder, did you get along with each other last night?"

"Haha." Elder Canlo laughed, "That's right!"

"Really? I don't know what to do?"

Elder Canlo didn't smile, when he saw several old people walking out of their tents, most of them neatly dressed and serene.

Mo Fei moved in his heart, counted secretly, and suddenly said in surprise: "Elder, you... do you want to replace those young people..."

"I'm getting old." Elder Canlo sighed, "The tribe will be handed over to those young people sooner or later, so just let the old man do the last thing for them."

"Is this your solution?" Murphy couldn't accept it.

"Lord Walker, you don't know. The people of the Fierc Eagles will not give us a chance to excuse us. Rather than let them do it, it is better for us to choose."

"But how could they believe you old men are real thieves?"

Elder Kanluo smiled: "They just want to take advantage of this, it doesn't matter whether they die young or old."

Mo Fei frowned, gritted his teeth, and said, "Isn't there another option? The Road to True Flame."

"That road won't pass." Elder Canlo shook his head and said, "My people are not afraid of death, but even those with great perseverance can't endure the short 30-meter ropeway. unbearable consequences."

Murphy was silent, looking at the old people in the tribe, their faces were calm, their expressions were peaceful, and they did not show any resistance or despair at all.

She couldn't believe that such a difficult decision was made in one night.

When the news was announced, there was a lot of cries in the tribe. Most of the people crying were young people, but the old people were very open to it.

Baozun and Yuchu also wiped away tears.

Yu Chu said, "Sir, is there really no other way?"

Mo Fei's face was solemn and silent.

At night, Murphy tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, his heart always felt stuffy, and there seemed to be a voice in his head that kept ringing.

She rolled over and sat up, her chin resting on her bent knees.

【What are you thinking? 】 Zhan Yi's voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

"Nothing." Murphy replied dully.

[Put away your compassionate mercy, they have their own predestined law. 】

Murphy asked, "Zhan Yi, you were once the leader of a tribe. What would you do if you were in such a situation?"

[There is no other way but to fight. 】

"Even if you know that the strength is disparate, if you start a war, you will kill your family at all?"

[The warriors of the Qin tribe are all born to fight. If they reach a dead end, no one will survive. 】

"You mean that the people of these tribes should unite and fight to the death?"

[They are different from the Qin family, they didn't have the determination to die at the beginning, and when the enemy is stronger, they have no power to fight. 】

Mo Fei was silent for a long time, and suddenly said as if talking to himself: "The road of true flame is really impossible to pass?"

[You are really thinking about this. 】Zhan Yi said, 【As Kanlo said, even those with great perseverance can't continue to endure the burning and bone-piercing pain. Do you think you can do it? 】

"I..." Murphy hesitated. If she is just an ordinary person, she is really powerless. However, she had a jade talisman, and when she fell off the cliff, the jade talisman stagnated her for a month and saved her life. If it can also stimulate its power this time, then she may not be able to walk the road of true flames.

[Futu, don’t do anything unsure, sometimes pity may lead to more tragic consequences. 】

Yes! She couldn't grasp the power of the jade talisman at all, how could she act recklessly on such uncertain factors.

Mo Fei smiled bitterly to himself, a feeling of suffocation that could not be resolved filled his heart...

Just when she was in a daze, the jade talisman in the clothes emitted a faint light, as if responding to her thoughts.

On the second day, most of the fifteen tribes gathered near the Refinery Platform of the Fierce Eagle Clan. In order to prevent the five youths from being angry, several leaders and others bound them in the tribe.

The so-called refining table is not only a place where various torture tools are displayed, such as gallows, knife gates, furnaces, and the legendary road of true flames.

A flame has been lit below the ropeway, and a row of swaying flames scorched the black ropeway above. The red and black overlapped like a road to hell.

Murphy watched silently in the crowd, but his footsteps moved involuntarily.

"Very well, it seems that the number of people is all there." The bearded man who appeared that day shouted from the high platform, "Tell me, what is your choice?"

Everyone was silent, and the place where thousands of people gathered turned out to be dead silence.

The bearded man did not agree, and sneered: "If there is no decision, then it will be up to my Fierce Eagle Clan."

"Wait." Elder Kanluo stepped out of the crowd and saluted, "My lords, this is not my family's fault, but now I have to bear such a crime. Your lord is kind, can Kanluo ask for a hundred animals instead? "

He is doing his last effort.

"The animals need to be compensated even if you don't need to tell me." Hu Yan said without hesitation, "However, this kind of behavior cannot be tolerated when it invades the territory of my Fierce Eagle clan at night. Otherwise, what will happen if it happens again in the future?"

Elder Canlo sighed in his heart, he raised his head and said calmly: "As the lord said, then my choice is..."

"Sir, what are you doing?" Suddenly, an eager voice in the crowd interrupted Elder Canlo's words.

I saw that Mo Fei didn't know when he came to the end of the Zhenyan cableway, and he had already stepped on the wooden ladder.

"Lord Walker!" Elder Canlo whispered, and the crowd became restless.

The bearded man glanced at Mo Fei, and said lightly: "It seems that you have already made a decision. Well, it depends on how you pass the road of true flames."

"No, sir, come back soon!" Yu Chu shouted in horror.

Baozun also rushed forward: "Sir."

"Don't make a fuss!" Several Fierce Eagle soldiers pulled out their big swords to block in front of the crowd.

Mo Fei suddenly returned to his senses, and looked around a little blankly, only to realize that he was standing next to the Zhenyan cableway.

what happened? Why did she suddenly appear here? Murphy turned around and looked at the people of the tribe who were watching her anxiously, and quickly realized that she must have been affected by the jade talisman just now, that is to say, she may have the opportunity to pass this real flame path with the help of the jade talisman. , If so, Elder Canlo and others would not have to sacrifice innocently.

"Take off your shoes and socks." Came the cold voice of the bearded man.

Now that the arrow is on the string, if she escapes at this time, she will not be able to raise her head in this life.

Mo Fei took a deep breath, bent over and took off all his shoes and socks, rolled up his trousers, exposing his bare calves and feet.

The billowing heat hit, and the short hair that had been attached to it fluttered.

"Sir, don't." Yuchu cried behind him.

【Are you crazy? 】 Zhan Yi's voice came, and he, who has always been cold, even felt anxious.

"Let's start!" The bearded man gave the order.

Murphy gritted his teeth, raised his feet carefully, and slowly approached the hot ropeway, and everyone around watched with bated breath.

With a "hiss", it sounded as if the sound of roasting meat suddenly sounded, Murphy quickly retracted her foot, and the burning pain made her tremble.

The hearts of everyone in the tribe also tightened.

"Hahaha." The people of the Fierc Eagle Clan burst into laughter, and the bearded man sneered, "If you can't do it, give up as soon as possible! It's good that my lord doesn't punish you."

Murphy glanced at him blankly, she flinched in her heart, but there was no expression on her face. This kind of appearance made the bearded man very unhappy, as if he was being despised. He urged in a rough voice, "Hurry up, my lord has limited patience."

There is no way out. But Yufu did not ease her pain. She did not have the confidence to walk this road. Once she failed, her injury would be small, and the consequences for the tribe to bear would be serious.

Murphy had never felt such a lot of pressure. She couldn't figure it out. What was the point of Yufu pushing her into such a situation, but not helping her? She is not a saint, and she doesn't want to do things beyond her power, but now facing this real flame ropeway, she may not be able to walk a few meters.

"Haha, come down if you don't dare!"

"That's right, don't embarrass yourself on it."

"These pariahs are just stupid, it's funny."

...

A group of Fierce Eagles sneered.

The people in the tribe were sweating on their palms, so nervous that they didn't know what to say.

At this moment, I heard Murphy take a deep sigh, and then said in a clear voice: "The suffering is over, the heart is uneasy, I will not go to hell who will go to hell."

There is no way out, so let's move forward!She would rather endure hardships than be ridiculed by the world.Just let her try to see if her perseverance can stand the test.Whether she succeeded or failed, at least she was brave.

The words fell, Murphy's bare feet firmly stepped on the hot ropeway...
