......

Flames erupted from the ground, like giant trees with teeth and claws. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The tips of the flame are its branches, and the billowing smoke makes up the leaves, which are interconnected and intertwined into a vast black canopy.

Walking under the orange-red fire trees, Thuram felt the temperature around him rising, beads of sweat the size of beans on his forehead, and his back became slimy. This place and the icy desert outside are like two worlds, and the cold winds of the evil moon cannot erode the core area of the Earth Mother Goddess.

"That's why it's called the Land of Fire...... "The Blonde Priestess looked curiously left and right, "I didn't expect there to be such an interesting place in the Far South. ”

After a week of getting along, Thuram had a preliminary understanding of the group brought by the Iron Axe. For example, the goddess who spoke was named Andrea, and she was skilled in archery, and her archery skills were beyond the reach of even the most seasoned hunters in the sandfolk. There is no doubt that she will join the powerful Goddess Ash-sama in the upcoming Divine Duel.

"Interesting?" Ash twitched, "I just think this place is like a steamer, and if ordinary people stay for two days, I'm afraid they'll become humans." ”

"I'm not surprised that you would say such a thing," Andrea shrugged, "and you don't have the taste and style to appreciate the atmosphere of this place." ”

"Don't you wipe off your sweat before you boast? ”

"You go away!"

Thuram couldn't help but have a hint of identification with the blonde goddess, and wanted to ask where the most beautiful place in the entire extreme south was, not the Yinchuan Oasis that brought a place for the Mojin people to live and reproduce, but the land of never-ending fire and endless capes. Despite their dangers, they also symbolize great power, the abode of the gods, and the belief of the sandfolk. One is used to compete for status and power, showing the mother goddess the courage and tenacity of the clan, and the other is used to sacrifice in the hope that the son of the sea will protect the people and inject more blood into Yinchuan, so that a new oasis grows in the desert.

Especially in the Scorching Land, the whole area is concave downward, and the middle is slightly raised, like an inverted basin, which can almost hold several iron sand cities. The incessant fire had hardened and consolidated the surrounding sand, and walking on it was like stepping into a temple paved with stone bricks.

In addition to the wide, solid road, it is lined with black abysses and shafts, from which the fire of the earth spews out, constantly baking the land. And the most striking thing is the color - any sandman who walks into the holy place for the first time will be attracted by the brilliant colors of the place: starting from the abyss, the rock walls on both sides take on a gradually changing red sheen, and the closer you get to the surface, the darker it becomes, like a charcoal stone that has been burned red and shiny is constantly cooling.

However, when it reached the ground, the color suddenly changed to a brilliant turquoise, and the sand seemed to be paved with a layer of crystal clear jade. It is a glass-like object formed by the melting of sand and recrystallization, which reflects a dazzling light against the flames.

Further up is the eternal theme of this place, the orange-red flame. Dozens of pillars of fire erupted in the basin, clustered around the high platforms of the central zone, as if welcoming the arrival of a new challenger. It was also the heart of the Scorching Lands, the testing ground for sacred duels.

The alternation of red and green, combined with the black water underneath and the golden sand dunes in the distance, seems to have concentrated all the colors of the desert into this area. If it weren't for the Evil Moon, you could still see the sunlight that repeatedly penetrated the thick smoke in the sky, and the only thing that could compare to such a spectacle was the endless cape with flames burning at the bottom of the sea.

"I also think it's beautiful...... It would be better if there was no fighting and bloodshed. His new master, Lord Drow Silvermoon, Princess of Osha, suddenly spoke, "Just like His Majesty Roland said, if you just use it for appreciation, you will definitely become famous......"

"National Nature Park?" replied another little goddess, Hummingbird.

Well, that's what he said when he inspected the devil's camp behind the snowy mountains. ”

"He is the king of a country, just as I thought. Andrea lifted her chin.

"Come on, you've seen what he said again?" Ash sneered.

"Can't you think about it if you haven't seen it? Literally, it must mean a place with magnificent scenery, but of course, people with shallow knowledge will definitely not understand. ”

"Tsk!"

Whether it was the Iron Axe or the priestesses, the name of the King of the Greykeep would be mentioned inadvertently in their conversations, and Thuram was curious about what kind of person they called Roland Wimbledon who would make both the Sandfolk and the Priestess trust him. The latter, in particular, remembered that the traveling merchant had mentioned that the highly revered goddesses of the Mojin clan were nothing more than evil objects hunted by the Church in the Four Kingdoms. However, judging from their attitude towards the king, it was clear that it was not the same as what the merchant had said.

When the group reached the high platform, the warriors of the Bone Cutting Clan who had been waiting here for a long time booed, and the bystanders of the other big clans treated them coldly-the earth-shattering thunder of Iron Sand City undoubtedly caused a great shock to them, and Thuram later learned that the stone castle where the Iron Whip Patriarch Lubaka lived collapsed in the explosion, and was buried in the ruins along with his blood relatives and men, so that the six major clans suddenly became five, and they could not be replenished for a long time.

However, revenge is a matter of course for the Sandmen, and the blood feud between Iron Whip and Aosha is not a secret, and since the foreign warriors have not invaded Iron Sand City, Drow Silvermoon's revenge is impeccable. Therefore, in addition to shock and fear, the rest of the other clans are only indifferent.

Unfortunately, they didn't know that Osha's purpose this time was beyond everyone's imagination, and Thuram thought to himself that the Bone Slicing Clan was just the beginning, and sooner or later the various clans present would also step down from the sidelines and become challenged - either to defeat their opponents or become a stepping stone for Drow Silvermoon.

The leader of the Flame Clan, who was the arbiter, stepped in front of everyone," the Ausha Patriarch stepped forward to answer. ”

Drow took a deep breath and took a step and said slowly, "I am." ”

The other party nodded expressionlessly, "Very good, this is not the first time you have participated in a sacred duel, you should understand the rules of the duel." The Bone Slicing Clan will send a total of twenty-two people into battle, so now choose a weapon for your warriors, allowing renunciation and surrender, but not breaking the oath you have made to the three gods. Until there is no one left standing in the field, the winner will win the qualification to enter Iron Sand City! ”
