0267 In the Palace of Flames
It turns out that this place is a small space plane that was opened separately countless thousands of years ago. Originally, the water and fire tribes lived in. Although the relationship was not harmonious, there were not many disputes. They each occupied two areas east and west for thousands of years. The water and fire tribes were thriving in this way!
But more than a thousand years ago, the son of the head of the Fire Tribe who accidentally ran away from the wandering Fire Tribe returned to this area. He learned some strange skills from somewhere and called himself the Fire Demon King! The Fire Demon King was ambitious and was not satisfied after unifying the Fire Tribe. He began to use force to repeatedly invade the Aquarium area, trying to force the Aquarium people to submit to his feet!
At the beginning, due to the mutual restraint of the elements of the two clans, the two sides won and lost each other when the other was in decline. Gradually, the war fell into a tug-of-war state!
At this moment, the Fire Demon King threw a powerful thing into the holy land of the Aquarium. This object turned into a vast sea of fire. In just a few days, he ravaged all the areas where the Aquarium people lived with boundless flames! The fire was so powerful that 99% of the Aquarium people burned to death, and the rest became prisoners of the Fire Demon people. So the poor Aquarium people began a dark period of rule and enslaved for thousands of years!
The memory of this strong man fire demon is a sporadic fragment of these events! Guan Heng heard the rescued blue-skinned man, that is, the Aquaman himself said...
"Then, the Fire Demon King lives in the Flame Palace not far from here, right?" Guan Heng was asking the oldest Aquarium elder, the old man who fell to the ground and was whipped hard at first, "You are all aquarium slaves who went to the Flame Palace to send the tributes of that month?!"
"Yes, you're right!" The elder of the water tribe sighed, stroked the little grandson leaning beside him, and then spoke: "We are really oppressed by the Fire Demon Clan and can't stand it anymore. In addition, this time, the guards were out of control and beaten to death. This place cannot be kept for a long time, so we all decided to go to those who are a hundred miles away to the east to hide first!"
"The place we are hiding is very secret!" said the elder of the water clan. "In a short period of time, the Fire Demon King's subordinates will not find us. This will allow us to seize the time to accumulate supplies for escape as much as possible!"
"The idea is good, but I have a small suggestion for you!" Guan Heng said with a smile: "You may as well hide in that hidden place for a few days, so there is no need to rush to escape! You can send someone to watch the movements in the Flame Palace first. Maybe in these few days, the Fire Demon King will suddenly die suddenly!"
"This... isn't it possible?" The elder of the water clan really couldn't believe what Guan Heng said, but he didn't dare to refute in person, for fear of sweeping the face of his savior: "Okay, as Mr. Guan said, we'll hide and wait for a few days before leaving!"
After watching the group of old, young, sick and disabled Aquarius people set off on the road, Guan Heng lowered his head and looked at the strong man who was smashed into meat: "Your name is Stink?! I'll go, pretending to be a guy who was smashed into meat, it feels so bad!"
"Scan the memory images in your brain...dress it!" Guan Heng said while muttering to himself, pressing the alloy bracelet on his wrist, "Huh--" Countless nanoworm robots surged out the bracelet, which quickly covered Guan Heng's whole body in a few seconds. In the blink of an eye, he turned into the look of a strong fire demon - Stink!
"Ahh! Come to the Flame Palace!" Guan Heng swaggered and started to the road. He said to himself: "King of Fire Demon, I will give you a great surprise this time!"
Half an hour later, in the Flame Palace. ?? ?
ww. ?
"Captain Stink, you are seriously dereliction of duty this time!" A short and fat fire demon with a big belly and a red-brown bearded jaw was scolding Guan Heng: "Even if you are my confidant, if you don't have a thorough explanation of this matter, it will be difficult for you to let the slaves go away!"
"Hehe, Chief Manager Longqin, I have to help you this time!" Guan Heng learned from Stink's tone of beating the lower body and handed over a few ore rich in fire elements: "I want you to mediate more, hehe, after the matter is done, the younger one must have a generous gift and filial piety!"
"Well, these ores are good!" Longqin is the chief supervisor of the Flame Palace and is also a greedy villain. How could he not be moved when he saw the heavy gift? In fact, these are just ordinary stones that Guan Heng picked up on the roadside. He read some information from Stink's memory. The local Fire Demon Clan regarded as a treasure as a supplement to some ores containing rich fire elements, also known as fire concentrate. Guan Heng injected a trace amount of the source of the Fire God into the stone at that time, making its energy surge feel exactly the same as the most advanced fire concentrate ore!
Usually, things like Fire Essence Stone Mine were mined deep in the crater by aquarium slaves risking their lives. I don’t know what mutations this ore has suffered. The fire elements it contains are becoming more and more abundant. As long as the people of the Fire Demon Clan eat one, the flame ability on their bodies will immediately double. Therefore, this ore is known as the "first treasure of the Fire Clan". In normal times, all the fire concentrates are to be enjoyed by the Fire Demon King alone, and even the close confidant can never get one!
Longqin was so precious that he could not get such a precious fire concentrate ore. However, since the "Stinker" in front of him today, he decided to take it privately. Anyway, if the Fire Demon King investigated, Longqin insisted that it was Stinker who secretly stole the ore. This kid had worked as a supervisor in the crater mining area before, and I took it for me. If you have any guilt, you will bear it!
"Okay, because your gift is still acceptable, I will make excuses for the slave to escape!" Holding the fire concentrate ore in his hand, Longqin said with a smile: "In the future, you should pay more attention to such mistakes, just appear less!"
"Yes, yes, yes, you are right to teach me!" Guan Heng nodded and bowed, and he became more and more humble.
The reason why Guan Heng spent so much time with Longqin, the chief manager at the gate of the Flame Palace was because he knew that Longqin knew more about the inside story and secrets of the Flame Palace than Stink, a sesame and green bean-like captain!
With Guan Heng's personality, coming to the enemy's territory and returning empty-handed is a huge crime!
What treasure does this Flame Palace have? Guan Heng will follow the same approach in the past: take it if you can, and destroy it if you can't take it. Anyway, you can't leave it to your enemies anymore!
Originally, the first moment when Guan Heng met Long Qin, he wanted to go up and kill the red-bearded fat pig, and then directly use the Chengying Sword to draw souls to read the memory. However, as the general manager, Long Qin always followed three or four subordinates to obey the orders at any time!
"Tsk, I have to find a way to pull these guards away from Longqin!" Guan Heng turned his eyes and thought to himself. He smiled and said, "I have some friends who know that you are taking care of the younger ones in general, so I plan to ask me to hand over some gifts to you!"
