Pirate Bloody Hand Mary

August 20th, Yin Mu will never forget this day.

With the appearance of a child named Justus, the liberation organization troops where he and Qiao Yin Boyin suffered suffered a devastating blow from the Kingdom of God.

Qiao Yin Boyin led a dozen warriors to lure away the opponent's main force, while Yin Mu led other non-combatants or non-elite personnel to evacuate.

But if it were just like this, Yoon Mu would not engrave this date in his soul. The reason why this day really made Yin Mu remember it for eight hundred years and never forget it is...

Today is Christie's death anniversary.

"Christie..."

Yin Mu shuttled through the forest at a jaw-dropping speed, releasing his emotions and scanning the forest as fast as he could.

In the [dream], Yin Mu discovered the bodies of Christie and others in a corner of the forest when the war temporarily came to an end and he led everyone to take a breather.

Including the elites who were taken out by Christie, they all died together. What is certain is that those from the Kingdom of God must have attacked the island in two groups.

But that should all change, now...

There is still time.

A few hours passed, the night gradually deepened, and Yin Mu was already quite deep in the jungle.

"!"

Suddenly, Yin Mu felt a strange feeling coming from somewhere in the sight. His footsteps suddenly stopped and he quickly moved towards that place.

Pushing aside the jungle, a shocking trace of blood appeared before his eyes.

"Whose blood stain is this..."

He frowned, then lifted up the nearby vegetation with a wave of his hand, and a messy battlefield appeared in front of him.

The soil on the ground was turned over, and the traces of the battle seemed to be hidden deliberately.

"It didn't take long."

Yoon Mu immediately asserted.

An experienced warrior can easily judge the time, intensity, composition of the two sides of the battle and other information from the traces left on the battlefield. For Yin Mu, this was a piece of cake.

"One of them is the people following Christie, and the other...the traces blown by the wind from above are indeed the work of the Lunarians themselves."

"But they should be evenly matched, and no one was injured. The blood stains just now should be Christie's blood stains. Her fighting ability is no different from ordinary people. In such a battle, it is very easy to be affected and harmed."

"The battle hasn't been over for too long, which means..."

His eyes sparkled with hope.

"It's possible he's still alive."

With this thought in his mind, he immediately released the color of what he saw and heard, and then started to search for traces around him, focusing on the blood stain.

"This way!"

With a central point and the scope determined, finding traces becomes much less difficult than before.

Yin Mu followed the traces and chased them all the way. Along the way, he saw the messy battlefields of short-distance battles from time to time.

From time to time, I would see one or two corpses, some unfamiliar and some familiar.

There are also ones with wings.

Have you been being chased?

When Yin Mu passed a dead body, he leaned down and touched it.

It has started to get cold and has been dead for a while.

After confirming the time, he turned and left without hesitation.

Time was running out and there was no room for hesitation.

After searching for a while, the traces in front of me suddenly branched.

Yin Mu suddenly paused when he saw this, and frowned tightly facing the scattered paths that appeared in front of him.

"Two directions, the troops will evacuate in two directions?"

"A plan to divide the troops..."

Yin Mu pressed his hand on the ground, and then gently twisted a little soil with his fingers.

The soil shape on both sides is very different, with more people on one side and less people on the other. It was obvious that there were differences in the number of people going in different directions when the troops were divided, whether it was Christie or the pursuers.

And without even thinking about it, Yin Mu could be sure that Christie must have gone to the side with fewer people.

The reason is also very simple. A little judgment will tell that the larger the battle, the more difficult it will be to protect Christie. During the evacuation process, there will definitely be close combat. In this case, it is obviously better for Christie to follow the side with fewer people.

Among the people who left with Christie was a Lunarian, a relative of Christie's family. If two people follow two teams respectively and spread their wings at the same time, the pursuers will not be able to tell which side is Christie.

After making a judgment in his heart, he hugged Justus tightly in his arms and chased towards the less crowded road.

Justus kept staring at Yin Mu closely without saying a word, with a rather strange expression on his face, but Yin Mu was too anxious at this time to pay attention to these details.

"That is……"

Halfway through the chase, Yin Mu suddenly discovered something hanging on a treetop within the sight range and quite a distance away from the path, shining silver in the moonlight.

He braked suddenly and then flew into the jungle.

When he took off the object hanging on the treetop, Yin Mu recognized what this shiny thing was.

"The cross...Christie's cross."

Yin Mu narrowed his eyes slightly.

Christie's status symbol not on the path?

Did the golden cicada escape from its shell...

It is indeed a good method to let others attract the enemy's attention and escape from the jungle yourself.

After traveling thousands of miles to let the pursuers attack tirelessly in the forest, it was obvious that they were targeting the [Sage]. When the enemy's target is only her, once Christie escapes, the pursuers from the other two parties will start searching again when they realize something is wrong.

It should be the best choice under the current circumstances.

In this case, after Christie escapes, there is a huge window of time between when the pursuers react.

During this window period, if Christie did not find a safe place, then Yin Mu would have to stop the pursuers before they arrived, or rush to Christie's side.

This is how she can survive.

With this thought in his mind, Yin Mu put away the cross and rushed out in one stride.

Then it didn’t take long before I had a headache and slowed down.

"Teacher Christie..."

The traces of one person are much harder to find than those of a group of people, and although Christie is not strong in combat ability, he is considered a tactical expert in field battles. She did an almost flawless job of erasing her own traces.

This will make it difficult for the pursuers to find them, and will also make it difficult for Yin Mu.

"I can only find it slowly..."

Yin Mu followed the traces and searched for them step by step. About half an hour later, there was a lot of movement in his sight.

"The direction of the sky."

Feeling someone approaching quickly, Yoon put down Justus and turned around to approach him.

The figure with wings spread out in the sky has appeared in the field of vision.

Chasers, but only one. It is estimated that the other party is also looking for Christie now.

"Victoria!?"

It was obvious that the person who came was very knowledgeable. When Yin Mu saw the other person clearly, the other person not only saw him clearly, but also recognized his identity.

"You are here. It seems that [Sage] left in this direction."

The other person said and raised his arms high.

Yin Mu narrowed his eyes and jumped up.

He kicked the opponent in the face, interrupted his movements, and stepped to the ground.

Still searching, Christy has not been found.

In this case...

A fierce light flashed in his eyes.

Just now, did you want to be subpoenaed?

"kill."

…

"Chuck, lick."

The battle ended quickly. The Lunarian's neck was twisted three or four times, and his entire body was imprinted in the huge tree trunk by Yinmu.

Both wings were torn off by Yin Mu extremely cruelly and stuck on the ground.

Although Yin Mu's current strength is far less than what he will be in the future, eight hundred years of experience is still a crushing advantage when used against the ordinary warrior in front of him.

After easily resolving the battle, he twisted his neck and waved his hand as if shaking something dirty.

Then, he turned around and picked up Justus, and then followed the original traces.

After killing the pursuers, he felt much more relaxed. The death of the scout will bring a larger window of time, which will create more margin for himself and Christie.

After marching for a while, there was a smell of gunpowder smoke in the air.

No, it's not the smell of gunpowder smoke.

...The smell of fireworks?

On the edge of the sight, some totem poles with strange patterns appeared.

Yin Mu immediately remembered what Christie had said before that this island was inhabited.

Primitive tribe...?

Yin Mu put away his observation and walked in the direction of the totem pole. The vegetation gradually became sparse. Soon, fire appeared in his field of vision.

A tribe surrounded by quite high wooden walls appeared in front of him. At the entrance of the village, two muscular and naked men were guarding the door.

When the two men saw Yin Mu, they immediately put on a fighting stance and shouted:

"who!?"

"I am a fighter for the Liberation Organization."

Yin Mu immediately waved his right arm, which was tied with a black cloth with three red lines on it.

This is the hallmark of a liberation organization.

"Liberation organization?"

The two were stunned for a moment, and then saw the child in Yin Mu's arms.

Seeing the movement of their eyes, Yin Mu narrowed his eyes slightly and opened his mouth:

"My partner and I got separated. This child is an orphan I picked up while looking for my partner. If possible, can you let me take a break in your tribe and look for clues about my partners?"

Yoon Mu doesn't have any good feelings towards civilians. What is completely different from Qiao Yin Boyin is that he has no idea of ​​​​educating civilians for a group that is stubborn to him.

At least for now - or even eight hundred years later, he doesn't have this idea.

Christie's theory of teaching is the same for both men, and the teaching methods are also the same. But Yin Mu and Qiao Yin Boyin grew up in different environments, and their concepts are also very different.

Of course, no matter what, in this situation, we still have to rely on the power of these local people. Since they are primitive tribes, they are more familiar with the nearby terrain, and you may be able to get some news from them.

"Liberation Organization...ah, you are Victoria!?"

A man looked at Yoon Mu carefully and exclaimed.

The other person was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then looked shocked.

Yin Mu had already expected the reaction of the two people. No one in this world didn't know about the Kingdom of God, and if you know about the Kingdom of God, you also know about the Liberation Organization.

Victoria, Qiao Yin Boyin, these two names are the signatures of the liberation organization. Compared with Christie, the two people who form the core combat force of the liberation organization are much more famous.

What's more, they are disciples of the [Sage].

After nodding in recognition, he asked:

"Can I go in now?"

"Of course, Gai Yin, you can show Mr. Victoria the way and take him to see the chief."

The more mature man said to the other person.

Gai Yin nodded vigorously.

"Please follow me, Mr. Victoria."

"Then this child..."

"I'll just hold you."

Yoon Mu shook his head and refused the adult man's kindness.

Following Gai Yin on the main road, Yin Mu looked at the surrounding buildings.

The scale of this village is much larger than expected...

Um?

The blazing fire coming from the distance illuminated the sky. That direction should be the center of the village.

"Fire?"

He spoke doubtfully.

Gai Yin also looked over when he heard this, then was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand and said:

"Ah, no. That's the fire from the fire ceremony."

"Fire ceremony?"

"Yes, there is a tradition of fire sacrifice in the village."

Gai Yin explained to Yin Mu quite enthusiastically:

"If we catch people from other tribes during festivals, or at the beginning, middle, and end of each month, we will hold a fire ceremony."

"We will vent the evil thoughts in our hearts on him, then dismantle his limbs, nail his torso to a fire sacrifice pillar, and then burn him to death to purify ourselves."

"After the meat is roasted, it will be divided and eaten. The elders say that this can increase the strength of the warriors. Well, although I think it makes no sense."

"..."

What a barbaric custom.

Yin Mu sighed inwardly, after all, it was still eight hundred years ago, and it was not that civilized yet.

In such a primitive tribe, such a ceremony is quite reasonable.

But now it's the beginning of the conversation, let's continue the conversation and ask if there are any clues about Christie.

"If there is a tribal war, will the prisoners be treated like this?"

"That's not true. Even if the time is right, we will only deal with a few people in the fire ceremony, and we still have to keep some prisoners to replace them with other tribes. Otherwise, the young and middle-aged people will die."

It’s not easy to actually notice the population problem.

This actually made Yin Mu look a little higher.

"However, this fire ceremony is not dealing with ordinary people."

Gai Yin said casually: "Two or three hours ago, the patrol outside captured a female Lunarian. The Lunarian was quite beautiful, with blond hair, blue eyes, and fair skin. She looked like she was always A noble who came to our tribe to exchange things. She actually lied that she was from the liberation organization and wanted us to provide her with some help..."

Yin Mu's footsteps stopped.

"Tsk, although we are not well-informed here, the people from the Liberation Organization have overthrown the Kingdom of God. How is it possible to overthrow ourselves? They simply treat us as fools."

"The chief was a slave of the Lunalia tribe in his early years, so we all don't like the Lunalia tribe. To us, the Lunalia tribe is also considered a member of other tribes, and today happens to be the handover in the middle and late On that day, the chief took advantage of the situation and held a fire ceremony."

"Speaking of which, Lunarians without fighting ability are really rare."

"The Lunarians I've seen are all very powerful, but usually they don't take us seriously."

"Well, Mr. Victoria, after the fire ceremony, do you want to stay and take away the remains of the Lunarian? We are not interested in the corpse of this alien race. It should be very useful to you, right? In your capacity, and the chief Just say it and he should agree."

"Mr. Victoria?"

"Mr. Victoria?"

Gai Yin didn't hear Yin Mu's response for a long time and turned around in confusion.

Yin Mu stood there, looking at Gai Yin with a pair of empty eyes.

"Victoria...sir?"

…

Firelight in the dark night.

The blazing foehn wind blew towards his face, blowing the tips of Yin Mu's hair.

The dense crowd sang and danced in the roaring heat wave, holding knives and forks high in their hands, as if they were performing some kind of sacred ceremony.

The smile on that pious face was as if the evil in his body had been purified.

On the countless waving spears, there were scattered limbs of some kind of humanoid creature and two snow-white wings. The feathers on the wings were burned by the tongues of fire, and the ends had become blackened.

Under the backlight, everything turned into a black silhouette, reflected in Yin Mu's white eyes.

A high pyre was piled in the center of the flames, with a cross standing in the center of the pyre.

Nailed on it was a human body with its limbs severed.

In the orange light, a lonely black figure made a harsh crackling sound.

In front of him, there seemed to be a huge pillar of fire rising into the sky, burning through the sky and the earth, drawing a cross on the world.

"Kacha, kacha."

Yin Mu heard the sound of something cracking.

"Wow--"

Justus, who had been silent all the way in his arms, suddenly burst into tears without warning.

"This is it. It looks like it's almost over."

Gai Yin stood behind Yin Mu, scratching his head and looking at the fire in the distance.

"This guy's hair and clothes were basically burned. It's a pity. The golden hair is quite beautiful. Most of the Lunaria I've seen have white hair."

"Wait and ask Uncle Haneva if he has cut off some of his hair and kept it."

He all muttered, and then he remembered the serious business of bringing Yin Mu here.

"By the way, Mr. Victoria, the fire festival is almost over. I will go find the chief for you later."

Yin Mu didn't reply. Gai Yin raised his eyebrows when he saw this, put his hands on his hips and smiled proudly:

"How about it? Burning at the stake looks spectacular, right? How does it feel?"

"..."

"Hehe, hehe..."

Yin Mu suddenly chuckled.

Gai Yin suddenly felt creepy and was keenly aware of a sense of fear coming from the man in front of him.

"Mr. Victoria?"

Yin Mu slowly turned around.

In his eyes, the world turned into black and white. Everything is slowly flowing away.

A smile appeared on his face, he stretched his eyebrows and looked at Gai Yin.

There was a strange aura in his eyes, and a certain gloomy color filled his originally empty eyes.

The deep black infinity in the center of the child hole disappeared, and a sense of desolation called nothingness emerged from it.

The thin lips opened slightly in the corners of the mouth raised like a crescent moon.

"Why don't you die?"
