The legendary little catastrophe

Makino looked down, and there was a downward staircase inside the hole.The stairs spiraled downwards, not knowing where to go.

"There's only this way, let's go down and have a look." Mu Ye grabbed Gu Xingyu's wrist.Gu Xingyu's hands were icy cold, trembling slightly, as if he was afraid of something.

Makino looked at Gu Xingyu with concern.The expression on Gu Xingyu's face didn't change much, but the light that had been shining on his face was gone, replaced by the corners of his mouth that were drawn down.

"What's wrong?" Muye tightened Gu Xingyu's wrist, "Are you okay?"

Gu Xingyu looked a little uncomfortable, even thin cold sweat broke out on his forehead, but he still shook his head.

Mu Ye didn't think too much, and pulled Gu Xingyu down.

At first Gu Xingyu walked very slowly, walking down step by step.As time went on, his steps became more and more reluctant, and finally even stopped on the steps.

Only then did Makino realize that something was wrong with Gu Xingyu.Looking back, Gu Xingyu's face was covered with tears.

"If we're too scared, we won't go down." Muye wiped away the tears from the corners of Gu Xingyu's eyes with his fingertips.

Gu Xingyu tilted his head, avoiding Muye's hand.

"I can do it, don't worry about me." Gu Xingyu couldn't stop his snot, he was sobbing, and was about to walk down, but his footsteps moved forward and back, and he didn't move for a long time.

Mu Ye vaguely felt that Gu Xingyu was afraid of the dark, or perhaps afraid of claustrophobia.

"Take your time, don't worry." Muye showed all his patience and guided Gu Xingyu step by step, "If you are too scared, just hug me. Close your eyes, and I will carry you down."

Without Gu Xingyu's consent, Muye hugged Gu Xingyu by the waist.Gu Xingyu is not short, but in the arms of Makino who is nearly 1.9 meters tall, he looks small.

The warmth gradually calmed down the trembling, and Makino also felt Gu Xingyu's gradually steady breathing.He lowered his head and saw Gu Xingyu looking at him quietly.

Mu Ye smiled, pretending not to notice Gu Xingyu's sneak peek, waiting for Gu Xingyu to take the initiative to talk to him.

After a while, Gu Xingyu finally spoke.

"Brother, when will we arrive?" Gu Xingyu asked.

This sound almost melted Makino's heart.

Gu Xingyu's voice was a bit like a peeled berry, soft and sweet, plus this "brother", it was like a kitten seeking Makino's protection.

He tried his best to calm down, pretending to be calm and calm, "It's coming soon."

Not very fast actually.After going down to the last step, there is still a long and narrow corridor. After walking for about 10 minutes, Makino saw a glimmer of light from the torch hanging on the wall.

He put Gu Xingyu down, picked up the torch himself, and lit it on the big brazier in the center of the room.

As the flames flickered, Makino looked around.The walls are engraved with reliefs and words, and it looks like an underground secret temple.

"It's eerie here." After leaving the darkness, Gu Xingyu regained his vigor. He tapped the wall with a stick he picked up casually, and said it was eerie, but Mu Ye didn't feel his fear at all.

"This should be the temple of Vulcan," Makino said.He didn't believe in the God of Fire, but he had heard from the elders of the tribe that there was a temple on Yanzhou Island where the body of the God of Fire was stored.

It should be here.Makino estimated.He is very familiar with the entire Yanzhou Island, but he has never been here.

There are four reliefs hanging on the wall, and Makino looked at each one.Each of the reliefs is similar, with a man dressed in flames rushing down in a swooping posture.It's just that the characters engraved in the tribal language under the relief are different, namely "salvation", "disaster", "change" and "new life".

Makino didn't understand the meaning of the relief.

"Brother, look here is an ancient coin!" Gu Xingyu's name for Muye gradually changed.He held up the round coin he picked up from somewhere and showed it to Makino.

"This is not a coin." Makino recognized it with just one glance, "The tribe did use coins in the early days, but it was not practical in the tribe, so now they are still traded by means of barter. Moreover, the previous coins It doesn’t look like this either. This should be some kind of special souvenir.”

Gu Xingyu's expression darkened after being denied.After lowering his head and fiddling with the coins a few times, he suddenly ran under the first relief and stuffed the coins into the palm of the man in the relief.

There is a sunken circular groove on the palm of the relief man, which Makino noticed just now when he was looking at the relief.Not only the hands of the first relief have grooves, but the hands of every relief.

"There are round coins like this beside me. You can find them for me too."

Makino didn't think it was useful, but he still lowered his head to look for it.After a while, he found one under the stone and one on top of the relief head.When he went to find Gu Xingyu with two coins, Gu Xingyu also found Muye with the coins.

Mu Ye spread out the coins on his palm and handed them to Gu Xingyu.

"What do you think this can do?" Mu Ye asked Gu Xingyu.

"I don't know, do you know if you try it?" Gu Xingyu took the coins and stuffed them into the groove one by one.

Suddenly, the first bas-relief made a loud bang, and the whole bas-relief receded, revealing a room.

Makino remembered that the engraving on this relief was salvation.

"Don't go in." He grabbed Gu Xingyu who was about to enter the room, "Look at the top."

There was a flame jet above the door of the room. After a while, a fire with blue flames was fired from the jet, and the room was covered by the scorching sun.

"It's a good thing you didn't go there." Makino breathed a sigh of relief, when he looked down at Gu Xingyu, Gu Xingyu felt a little regretful.

"I saw something shiny inside." Gu Xingyu said, "If I ran faster just now, I should be able to get it."

"What stupid words are you talking about?" Mu Ye scratched Gu Xingyu's eyes twice, unable to understand Gu Xingyu, "This fire is so dangerous, it will kill you in the past."

"But what's inside is very tempting to me, like a kind of power." Gu Xingyu tugged at a corner of Muye, said softly to Muye, "Wait for me", and ran towards the flames.

"Little calamity!" Mu Ye wanted to hold Gu Xingyu back, but his reaction was still slow. In a blink of an eye, Gu Xingyu ran into the flames.

Mu Ye chased after him, but the scalding flame separated him from Gu Xingyu.

"Little disaster star! Little disaster star!" He looked into the flames, his eyes were full of flames.

Just as he was slowly giving up, he heard Gu Xingyu yelling at him vaguely: "I'm fine!"

Then Gu Xingyu's figure appeared in the flames.Gu Xingyu slowly walked out of the flames with a red tasseled gun in his arms.

Mu Ye quickly patted Gu Xingyu's body, and after making sure that Gu Xingyu was not injured, he asked Gu Xingyu sullenly why he did such a dangerous thing.

He almost thought that Gu Xingyu was burned to death.

"Because of it, it seems to be talking to me." Gu Xingyu hugged the red-tasseled spear he had snatched from the flames tightly, "It told me that the fire can't hurt me."

After speaking, he tilted his head and thought, "Then why can't the fire hurt me?"

Makino froze for a moment.

"Zhu Rong's sharp gun." Mu Ye recognized the weapon in Gu Xingyu's hand.There are legends in the tribe that there are two great warriors on Yanzhou Island, one is the descendant bow that is protected in the God Blessing Camp, and the other is the Zhurong Spear that has only existed in legends.

Makino, who never believed in legends, had to face up to this legend.

"An unexpected harvest." Makino raised his eyebrows, "We can go out in a fair manner."

At noon, the high priest called all the warriors in the tribe to wait at the gate of the volcanic ruins.Tang Ze also stood at the back and watched to see how Mu Ye would end up.

"They're coming!" one of the soldiers staring at the movement inside shouted suddenly, and all the soldiers rushed to the narrow stone door gap, forming a solid human wall.

But within a few seconds, the human wall suddenly disintegrated.The people inside the human wall desperately wanted to escape to the outside, but the soldiers outside were still rushing inside, causing a mess.

Tang Ze clearly saw Makino holding up a gleaming weapon with his right hand, holding Gu Xingyu tightly with his left hand, and walking out of the stone gate.

The noon sun was slowly absorbed by Zhu Rong's gun, emitting a more intense light.

The soldiers who finally saw clearly what Makino was holding were no longer in a hurry, but gave way in a very tacit understanding.Wearing red cloth armor, Makino walked through a group of soldiers wearing black concealed patrol uniforms, and walked straight to the high priest.

"Zhu Rong Gun, seeing a gun is like seeing a god." Mu Ye said loudly, "You almost killed the Vulcan envoy, what should you do?"

"The people are guilty." The high priest knelt down, hesitating and saying nothing.

"Forget it, Vulcan is generous and doesn't care about it." Makino found that he has a strong ability to make up nonsense, so he used a set of official accents, "Prepare a reception banquet for Zhu Rongqiang, and pay tribute to the tribe."

With that said, Makino handed the Zhu Rong spear to the soldiers beside him, and it took four soldiers to lift it up.

"Return!" After Mu Ye finished speaking, he blinked at Tang Ze who was at the side, gave some instructions to the soldiers beside him, and led Gu Xingyu to find another path, and left towards the Shenyou Camp.

The whole process was calm and breezy, as if everything was planned by him.

Only he and Gu Xingyu knew how nervous he was.He held Gu Xingyu's hand, already soaked in sweat.

It was a big event for the artifact to return to the tribe, and no one in the tribe dared to neglect it. They all gathered in the Shenyou camp, only Muye and Gu Xingyu stayed in the house.

It is reasonable for everyone to show up, but after all, the two are the ones who brought the artifact back, and the prestigious elders in the tribe dare not say anything more.

"It's been hard for you these days." Mu Ye rubbed Gu Xingyu's cheek with the back of his hand, "It's going to be difficult in prison."

Gu Xingyu nodded his head twice, "The prison is stinky and dirty, cold and damp, and at night when the cold wind blows, you will shiver."

Once Gu Xingyu opened the chatterbox, he couldn't close it.He started with his bad prison experience, then talked about his life in the city, and how he fell to Yanzhou Island.

Hearing what happened to Gu Xingyu, Makino felt a little sad.He didn't know how to comfort Gu Xingyu, and actually didn't quite understand what Gu Xingyu was talking about, so he could only say: "Don't be sad, I'll make you dessert another day."

In Makino's mind, to be nice to a person is to make him berry jelly.
