Book of Disaster

From afar, the execution platform looked like a mountain made of huge rocks, standing between heaven and earth. It was grand and spectacular, yet also terrifying.

The feeling is so strong that any living being that comes close to it will feel a primitive shock.

This is not some subjective feeling, but the accumulation of thousands of years. Bai Qi can feel that this place must have experienced many bloody sacrifices and murderous wars.

The base of the execution platform is broad and solid, made up of countless ancient boulders. These boulders have not changed for thousands of years, and have been weathered by wind, rain, blood and fire. Each stone seems to embody the breath and strength of the barbarian ancestors.

These stones have been baptized by the years, and their surfaces are already covered with moss and cracks, but they still contain a powerful aura. Bai Qi can even see many ancient inscriptions carved on their surfaces.

The barbarian inscriptions and power are completely different from any other force. There is nothing more mysterious than these barbarian inscriptions.

Bai Qi's gaze went all the way up. On top of the platform, he saw four giant stone pillars carved with totems of barbarian glory and fear. Each of these stone pillars was so thick that it took five or six people to hug it. They were so thick that they seemed to be carrying the entire sky, and they were also like gods watching and judging from the side.

Heavy iron chains hang between the stone pillars. When the wind blows, the chains collide with each other, creating a metallic symphony that sounds like the whisper of death, foreshadowing the approach of the end.

These chains are blood red and rusty, and sometimes when the wind blows, you can smell a strong smell of blood.

Crows would occasionally circle above the altar, and their cries echoed in the empty square, adding a sense of death to the place.

"The smell of blood is very fresh. It seems that this barbarian ghost has killed many people here before."

Bai Qi said secretly in his heart.

Behind the platform is the huge statue of the barbarian god.

Unlike when you look at it from a distance, if you look closely from the priest's room, you will find that the statue of the barbarian god is actually forty or fifty meters high, and its body is so huge that it gives people a strong shock and impact.

Its face was portrayed to be both sacred and majestic; every contour and line revealed the barbarian's worship of strength and battle.

The statue of the barbarian god was so real that for a moment, Bai Qi felt as if the statue had come alive and was staring at him in the stone chamber from the other end of the square.

The feeling was terrifying.

Bai Qi also had to admit that the barbarian culture was indeed full of fear and mystery, completely different from the human world.

However, Bai Qi swept his eyes across the entire square, but still could not see any trace of Sun Zhantian and the barbarian ghost.

"Where are these two guys going? Why haven't we seen them yet?"

Bai Qi frowned secretly.

They were the vanguard reconnaissance team, and they passed on all the information about the barbarians and the country of Dayu. However, without the two "protagonists" Sun Zhantian and Man Gui, their intelligence and information were incomplete.

At least before this, the army led by General Long Wei cannot act rashly.

Time passed slowly and it was slowly approaching evening. Just when everyone was feeling a little unbearable, there was finally movement in the square.

"call!"

Several tall and strong barbarian warriors with dark blue tattoos on their bodies suddenly appeared around the altar on the execution platform, waving torches and lighting the sacred fire of the altar.

Balls of dark green flames suddenly burned fiercely, emitting flickering dark green light, which spread out in all directions, illuminating everything around in an extremely strange way, as if countless ghosts were wandering in the darkness.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a rhythmic drumbeat sound came suddenly and dully, attracting everyone's attention.

"Go faster!"

At the edge of the execution square, a group of ferocious, burly barbarian soldiers were shouting loudly as they escorted and drove a group of prisoners along the way.

Looking closely, the prisoners were all tied up with iron chains as thick as a child's arm, and thick iron hooks hooked on their scapula.

And these people are also barbarians.

They were in tattered clothes, had disheveled hair, were covered in scars and blood, and even their steps were unsteady. They staggered as if they would fall at any time. It was obvious that they had been tortured before.

However, the escorts didn't care at all. When they saw those walking slowly, they shouted angrily and whipped them hard.

The whip had barbs on it, and every time it was whipped, it would immediately tear the skin and flesh, leaving a bloody mark.

"It's Mangui's people!"

Next to Bai Qi, Man Xiong's eyes instantly turned red when he saw the situation outside.

"Barbarian bones, barbarian spirits, barbarian beasts... they have all been captured!"

Bai Qi understood that the "barbarian bones, barbarian spirits, and barbarian beasts" that Man Xiong mentioned were obviously those loyal followers around him.

Although these people were covered in scars, their eyes were full of stubbornness and their backs were still trying to be straight, obviously they had not surrendered.

"Zhang Chi, where are General Long Wei and the others?"

Bai Qi asked.

"We have entered the valley, and the outer periphery of the valley is heading towards here. The outer periphery has been cleared. It should be here in half an hour at most. Everything is waiting for our information."

Zhang Chi replied.

"Man Gui and Sun Zhantian haven't shown up yet, but... there's no need to wait any longer. Man Gui has escorted all of Man Xiong's followers out. He should be planning a big move soon. He probably wants to make an example of them."

Bai Qi paused and said:

"I'm afraid we won't have enough time. Tell the general now and set off at full speed. At least the Daewoo Kingdom's guards on the periphery...don't worry about that. Get rid of them as quickly as possible and try not to let them send out a signal."

"Also, Zhang Chi, you go too and cooperate with them. Focus on those who have flares on them. Don't let them send out signals."

"Yes!"

Zhang Chi changed his mind and left quickly.

It was getting darker and darker, and the sky was getting darker faster than expected.

Outside the square, there was soon new movement. Looking out through the hole in the priest's room, one could see countless torches suddenly appearing in all directions outside the square, from far to near.

These torches were shaking, all heading here.

"Hurry up! If you delay Lord Mangui's business, I will kill you in a moment!"

"Damn it, why are you crying? Go away!"

"Go, go, go. Remember to be respectful when you see Lord Mangui later."

"You're looking for death! Hurry up!"

Waves of curses and shouts came continuously.
