Late at night, on a secluded beach near the sea outside the city of Junlin, four ragged prisoners were tied tightly trapped on huge rocks, one by one in fear, constantly struggling, cursing and begging, trying to escape the next terrible scene.

But unfortunately, no matter what these people do and how ugly words they scold, Zhang Cheng is still making preparations in an orderly way. In just half an hour, he built a simple wooden frame and put the glittering dragon eggs on the top of the frame.

When he had finished all this, he turned and smiled at the prisoners and said in a slightly apologetic tone: "I\'m really sorry. From a personal standpoint, I don\'t have any hatred with you, and I don\'t enjoy the pleasure of killing. The reason why I want to burn you is to hatch dragon eggs. I promise that as long as the dragon eggs hatch successfully, the rest can be released. So please tell me, who comes first?"

For a moment, the original noisy voice suddenly disappeared without a trace.

Each prisoner stared at each other, and no one dared to speak first, for fear that he would become the first "lucky man" accidentally.

After all, burning is not an ordinary way of death. Even heroes with firm will will scream in pain in the face of raging flames, not to mention that they are just ordinary people.

Seeing that no one spoke for a long time, Zhang Cheng could not help sighing slightly, bent down, grabbed a handful of pebbles from the ground, and then handed them to the prisoners: "for the sake of fairness, let\'s play a little game. Now guess whether the stones in my hand are singular or even. I count to three and you answer together. The slow person will be regarded as abstaining. Three... Two... One!"

"Even!"

"Odd!"

"Odd!"

"Odd!"

The four people dared not hesitate and gave the answer almost at the same time.

But interestingly, three of them seemed to collude in advance and chose the even number. Only one fat guy chose the odd number.

Obviously, in order to increase the survival probability, the three guys behind deliberately choose the singular number at the same time, because the rules just now do not specify whether the person who guesses right will be burned first or the person who guesses wrong will be burned first.

This means that standing on the side of the majority is likely to be safer, even from death

Looking at these unscrupulous criminals for survival, Zhang Cheng couldn\'t help but show a trace of ironic smile and began to throw pebbles to the ground one by one in front of everyone.

When there was only one left, he raised the stone and said, "it\'s an even number. It seems that the lucky one was born, isn\'t it?"

"No! No! No! Don\'t burn me! I just stole some money! I shouldn\'t be punished like this!" the fat man collapsed instantly and burst into tears.

"Be quiet! Who told the lucky one it was you?" Zhang Cheng glanced at each other angrily.

The fat man was stunned immediately. He seemed to understand something. He turned his head and stared at the other three people next to him with malicious eyes. Finally, he laughed: "ha ha! Sorry! Your conspiracy didn\'t kill me! On the contrary, you killed yourself!"

"What?!"

"Damn it! This guy is going to burn the three of us at one time!"

"Devil! He must be a murderous devil!"

……

With desperate curses, the three unlucky men were pulled out by Zhang Cheng and forcibly pulled to the wooden shelf. One of them tried to resist. As a result, he was forcibly interrupted his legs and threw them on the ground like a dead dog. Then he raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

moment

A bright flame flew out of his fingertips and directly lit the wood soaked in oil. In the blink of an eye, the sky was illuminated by the fire!

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

"No!"

"Please let me go!"

Under the burning flames, the prisoners screamed and twisted their bodies to break free from the shackles of the rope and escape from the sea of fire.

But when they broke free from the burnt rope, their legs were badly burned and they couldn\'t run at all.

The fat man who survived stared at the purgatory scene in front of him, trembling all over his body.

But Zhang Cheng paid no attention to the other party, and all his attention was attracted by the dragon egg.

Just when he planned to bless the flame protection barrier and went in to check the condition of the dragon\'s eggs, the originally slack mysterious energy in the air suddenly began to become active and gushed in the direction of the dragon\'s eggs.

At the same time, a faint red star appeared in the sky.

Although the brightness is very, very weak, it can be observed with the naked eye.

As a person who had read the original work, Zhang Cheng immediately realized that this was the comet that predicted the seasonal changes and the recovery of dragon and magic. He sighed with an incredible look: "I see! I see! I see! This is the key point I\'ve been looking for, but I ignored!"

Obviously, there is no so-called magic energy on the planet where the song of ice and fire is located. Everything comes from this red comet.

In other words, whenever the red comet begins to approach, it will sprinkle its own energy, just as Halley\'s comet will bring a lot of water vapor when it passes through the earth.

This energy will exist in the planetary atmosphere for a long time and be used by those who find the trick. When all the energy is exhausted, the energy dependent things such as dragons and magic will naturally disappear.

With great excitement, Zhang Cheng raised his right hand and tried to absorb some active energy to feel the magical power and attributes contained therein.

But before he could take action, a shrill cry came out of the fire.

"Ow!!!!"

At the place where the dragon eggs were placed just now, a young dragon with violet light all over his body rose up in the air and revolved around the flame.

There is no doubt that the dragon egg is rotten

"Come here!" Zhang Cheng, who regained consciousness, gave orders to the young dragon through the power of the contract at the first time.

The latter only hesitated for a moment, and soon flapped his wings and fell on his master\'s shoulder, making a squeaky howl. He didn\'t know what he meant.

Zhang Cheng stretched out his fingers and released a trace of arcane energy. When the young dragon found it, he immediately opened his mouth and sucked greedily. The violet scales covered on the body surface emitted dazzling light.

About two or three minutes later, the young dragon seemed to be full, opened his mouth, belched, slowly closed his eyes and fell into a coma.

Touching the little guy\'s not very hard scales, Zhang Cheng pursed his mouth and said to himself, "interesting, this dragon can swallow energy..."
