In times of chaos and famine, I traded one pound of rice for two royal flushes.

"Kill them!"

Blinded by anger and humiliation, the bandits launched another attack.

This time, they learned their lesson.

A dozen or so people, carrying hastily felled wooden planks and even a few door panels salvaged from a nearby dilapidated temple, formed a makeshift shield wall at the front.

With their heads down and backs hunched, they charged headlong toward the valley entrance like a herd of mad bulls.

They wanted to use the most savage methods to break through that wall of fire, rush into the valley, and tear everything inside to shreds.

On the hillside.

Wang Tiezhu and the others instinctively wanted to push the stone.

"etc."

Qin Shaolang's voice stopped them in time.

Everyone looked at him, their eyes filled with confusion.

Why not attack?

If we don't attack soon, they'll break in!

Qin Shaolang offered no explanation.

His gaze, like that of an eagle, was fixed intently on the moving crowd below.

He was calculating.

They were calculating their speed, calculating the time it would take them to reach "that location".

Fifty steps.

Forty steps.

Thirty steps!

The vanguard of the bandits had already crossed the edge of the previous sea of ​​fire, stepping over the charred corpses of their comrades, and rushed into the narrow passage at the entrance of the valley.

Above them, rolling stones lay poised on the hillsides on both sides.

But this time, the stone didn't fall.

The bandits were overjoyed.

Have they run out of stones?

The thought had just arisen.

They rushed to the very center of the valley.

This is the narrowest part of the entire valley entrance.

There were dozens of people crammed together.

It's now!

Qin Shaolang's pupils suddenly contracted.

He didn't shout, but instead made a simple yet resolute gesture towards the man above the cliff who was responsible for relaying the order.

A hand chop to the neck!

above the cliff.

Zhao Wu, who had been staring intently at Qin Shaolang's hand gesture, felt his blood boil the moment he saw the movement.

He mustered all his strength and roared furiously at the dozen or so men behind him who were also waiting for orders.

"cut!"

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

A dozen sharp axes, with a do-or-die determination, simultaneously slammed into the already taut ropes!

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!

The thick rope snapped instantly!

The massive rock formation, suspended in mid-air like an ancient behemoth, emitted a teeth-grinding "creak" after losing its last support.

It wobbled slightly.

Time seemed to slow down at this moment.

The bandits who were charging forward instinctively raised their heads.

They saw it.

I saw that huge shadow that blocked out the starlight.

They saw the land slowly tilting, carrying countless pebbles and dust, about to crash down on them...

day.

"Th-what is that...?"

The one-eyed wolf also raised his head, and for the first time, emotions called "fear" and "despair" were revealed in his single eye.

He wanted to run away.

He wanted to shout.

But there was nothing he could do.

His body and his voice seemed to be completely frozen by that earth-shattering power.

Boom! ...

A deafening roar, indescribable in words, suddenly erupted!

The entire valley trembled violently!

A massive boulder, weighing tens of thousands of pounds, crashed down with the force of a thunderbolt.

It didn't crash down.

It collapsed!

Everything in its path is as fragile as paper.

Wooden shield?

Door panel?

The human body?

In the face of absolute power, there is no difference.

puff!

The dozens of bandits at the forefront, including the one-eyed wolf with a ferocious expression, who was holding a ghost-head knife high, couldn't even let out a scream.

Their bodies were as if they had been instantly flattened by an invisible giant hand.

Blood, internal organs, bones...

In an instant, it was squeezed, burst, and turned into a pool of bright red, shapeless minced meat.

The giant rock continued to crash onto the ground.

Its enormous impact triggered a chain reaction.

The already loose rock walls and soil around them were stirred up and poured down like a flash flood.

Pebbles rained down, and dust billowed into the sky!

The valley passage, which was originally only four or five meters wide, was completely filled in and buried in just a few breaths!

In its place stands a new "hill" made of giant rocks and countless pebbles.

A tomb.

A huge tomb that buried dozens of bandits!

Dead silence.

The whole world fell into a deathly silence.

The wind stopped.

The shouts of battle ceased.

The screams stopped.

Everyone was so shocked by the scene before them, which resembled a divine punishment descending upon the world, that they lost their ability to think.

In the valley, the strong men, women and children who had just been roaring were now staring wide-eyed at the valley entrance that had been completely blocked.

Outside the valley, the bandits who had followed behind and managed not to rush into the death zone were terrified. Their legs went weak, and they collapsed to the ground, their crotches wet and hot.

They looked at the "grave" where rubble was still falling, and at the billowing smoke and dust.

Their minds were blank.

What about people?

Where is the second-in-command?

What about those dozens of brothers?

Gone.

That's it, that's all.

It was eaten by the mountain.

"Youkai...youkai..."

A bandit, his lips trembling, uttered two words.

"The mountain god is angry!"

"Run! It's divine retribution! This is divine retribution!"

The surviving bandits' psychological defenses completely collapsed at that moment.

They threw down their weapons, let out a scream that sounded inhuman, and turned to run.

Rout!

A complete and utter defeat, with no doubt whatsoever!

They didn't even dare to look back at that terrifying valley.

They wished their parents had given them two more legs, and frantically fled down the mountain.

Qin Shaolang stood on the hillside, coldly watching all of this.

Curse?

No.

This is just a calculation.

The most accurate calculations utilize the principles of leverage and gravitational potential energy.

But it's not over yet.

"Torch".

He uttered two more words.

Su Jin jolted awake, immediately realizing what was happening, and shouted, "Logistics team! Torches! Throw them down!"

The women and children, who were already prepared, lit bundles of torches soaked in oil.

Then, with all his might, he threw it at the newly formed "piles of rocks".

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!

Dozens of fires fell on that land of death.

In the crevices of the rubble, there were still mutilated limbs, torn clothes, and blood mixed with grease flowing from the corpses.

boom!

The flames reignited.

Although it wasn't as violent as before, it was more sinister and more deadly.

The flames seeped into the cracks in the rocks and ignited everything below.

A pungent smell of roasting meat wafted from beneath the pile of stones, accompanied by the faint, mournful screams of survivors who were still alive but buried underneath.

The sound disappeared quickly.

The firelight illuminated the valley in a crimson glow.

It also reddened the blank faces of every survivor.

They looked at the thin, expressionless man standing on the hillside.

The fear in my heart reached its peak at this moment.

But then, this extreme fear transformed into an even more extreme, fanatical worship.

This is not human.

This is God.

He is the god of war who can bring divine punishment and control life and death!
