Chapter Thirty-Eight: First Acquaintance with the Wilderness
The steward hugged Ji Xiu'er, who was struggling to the death, and walked towards the hiding place of Lin Xuan and the others, Lin Xuan and the others, who had originally planned to stay out of the matter, looked at the steward who was slowly walking and the subordinates behind him, and couldn't help but tense their nerves, Lin Ying had already quietly taken out his dagger, his waist was slightly raised, like a fierce beast ready to pounce on his prey at any time, and Lin Xuan relied on his far beyond ordinary people's spiritual power to calculate the distance that might be found on the other side.
The steward and others didn't know that they were walking towards danger, at this time he was proud, he hadn't touched a woman for so long, he was already hungry and thirsty, the whole person was a little excited, and even talked and laughed with his subordinates, and his subordinates were flattered, and they flattered one by one, hoping to get the steward's appreciation. And Ji Ling, who was dragged by his subordinates, raised his head with difficulty, looked at his tearful daughter looking at him, his heart was like a knife, and he gasped and said:
"Please, let my daughter go, kill or chop, whatever you want. Please, please... Saying that, the big man who was covered in blood and didn't frown shed tears.
"Dad!" Ji Xiu'er looked at her father and cried bitterly.
"Oh? Where did you go before?" the steward looked at Ji Ling, who was in tears, and his heart was extremely happy. The steward thinks about it,
"Forget it, then let your daughter go. β
The left and right subordinates were stunned when they heard this, when did their housekeeper become so good at talking.
Ji Ling's eyes couldn't help but widen when he heard this.
"Thank you... Ji Ling gasped and said, watching the steward let go of his daughter, Ji Ling put down a big stone in his heart, and the whole person seemed to be drained of strength all of a sudden.
Just when Ji Xiu'er was about to run to her father, the steward pulled Ji Xiu'er back again.
"You" Ji Ling saw this, as if returning to the light, with a lot of strength, the two people who grabbed him were slack for a while, and they were suddenly broken free by him, Ji Ling rushed to the steward like a mad cow, only to see the steward sneer, turned to one side, and smashed Ji Ling's back with a fist, Ji Ling's center of gravity was unstable, and he was hit again, spitting blood, and fell to the ground, the steward stepped on Ji Ling's back, bent down, and said coldly:
"Are you still a three-year-old child! I really thought I would let your daughter go, for your daughter's sake, I will spare your dog's life, be content!"
Ji Ling didn't know how to manage things, it was extremely difficult to let go of his daughter, but this was his only hope.
The steward raised his head and looked at the two subordinates who let Ji Ling break free, and a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes:
"Two wastes, even a dying man can't stand it, I'll let you hold him now, if you still can't stand it, you will roll me out and be a slave!"
"Yes! Yes!" The two of them knelt on the ground in fright, the slave was really a pig and a dog, and the two couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
The two of them grabbed Ji Ling, who fell to the ground, and secretly hated in their hearts, and couldn't help but increase the strength in their hands, or they picked out the places where the stones were exposed to walk, and Ji Ling's animal skin clothes had turned into blood strips.
Lin Xuan sensed the distance of the other party with his spiritual power, suddenly, Lin Xuan's eyes lit up, the other party had already walked to the danger zone, and if he went further, everyone would probably be exposed, Lin Xuan turned his head and glanced at Mu Luoyu, the two looked at each other, nodded, and were ready to do it at any time, and the other few people had also cultivated a very high tacit understanding in the past few days, and they were ready to fight without words.
The steward finally stopped, looked at the surrounding scenery, nodded as if satisfied, and said to his subordinates:
"Throw Ji Ling here, you go and take a look around, I don't want anything to be disturbed by something that doesn't open my eyes when Lao Tzu is happy. If you disturb me, you will wait to be slaves!" the men hurriedly agreed, and scattered around to make rounds.
Grabbing one of Ji Ling's subordinates, he looked at the high-spirited steward, gritted his teeth, came to the steward and said:
"My lord, the little one thinks that this Ji Ling is the most dishonest, if he starts to go crazy, it will not be good to spoil the adult's Yaxing. β
"Oh, so what do you do?"
Seeing that the steward did not give a damn, the man hurriedly said:
"It's better to break his hands and feet, so that he can't move even if he goes crazy. I wonder what the adults think?"
"Hmm. That's a good idea. Seeing the adult nodding, the man was even more excited, not seeking appreciation, it was enough to make meritorious contributions.
And the little one went and broke his hands and feet. The man came to Ji Ling and smiled cruelly
"You brought it all on yourself, don't blame me. The man picked up a blunt object and struck Ji Ling's joints in the opposite direction, breaking Ji Ling's hands and feet, and left with a flattering smile when he was done.
Ji Xiu'er looked at the steward with a lewd smile on her face, her heart was already like ashes, and she gave up when she couldn't break free, at this time she already had the will to die, even if she died, she would not let this bastard defile herself, and calmly looked at her father who was beaten and did not look like a man, Ji Xiu'er seemed to have a thousand knives in her heart, the father and daughter looked at each other, how could Ji Ling not see her daughter's thoughts, tears flowed from the corners of Ji Ling's eyes, but she did not say anything to stop it, rather than being defiled by beasts, it was better to die.
Ji Ling had already made up his mind that he must live, even if he became a slave, he would kill this beast sooner or later.
The steward looked at Ji Xiu'er with a calm face, thinking that she had accepted her fate, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, as for Ji Ling's resentful gaze, he didn't care, and even felt even more excited, only to see him pounce impatiently, kissing Ji Xiu'er's white and tender cheek, and one hand couldn't wait to touch Ji Xiu'er's initial chest, seeing this, Ji Xiu'er closed her eyes, with a painful expression on her face, and planned to bite her tongue to kill herself, Ji Ling's eyes were bloodshot, as if shouting frantically:
"I'm going to let you die without a place to bury!!"
The steward didn't expect Ji Xiu'er to be so strong, and he hurriedly stopped Ji Xiu'er after being stunned, he was not interested in the dead, not to mention that such a beautiful girl might sell it for a good price.
Just when he was about to stop Ji Xiu'er from committing suicide, a person was faster, Ji Xiu'er only heard the steward shout in horror, "Who!", and then Ji Xiu'er only felt that there was a gust of wind blowing in front of him, and the weight on his body disappeared, and his father's eager shout came from his ears, so he quickly stopped, and when he heard his father's words, Ji Xiu'er subconsciously stopped his movements.
Ji Xiu'er opened her eyes, and the picture in front of her made her eyes widen, the originally arrogant steward was being pinched by a middle-aged man and lifted in the air at this time, her whole face was exposed due to lack of oxygen, her face gradually turned purple, and the horror in her eyes could not be hidden. Although Ji Xiu'er was kind-hearted, she also desperately hoped that the steward would be strangled to death by this middle-aged man at this time, but just when the steward began to roll his eyes, the middle-aged man loosened his hand and turned around behind him, the steward seemed to have regained his life, inhaled heavily, kept wheezing, and coughed from time to time, and the blue and purple on his face slowly faded and turned red, but he did not relax, because at this time a dagger was against his throat, and he didn't even dare to swallow saliva, as if as soon as he swallowed saliva, the sharp dagger would cut his throatγ
Without waiting for him to speak, there were already five people in the distance, the moment the steward saw them, he couldn't help but start to guess their identities, for no other reason, it was really Lin Xuan and the others' clothes were not like those from a small place, Lin Xuan's clothes were still the clothes they wore when they went to the City Lord's Mansion, and a refined martial arts uniform was also a good cloth, although the sun and wind blew these days, the clothes were impeccable except for a layer of sand, and the environment of the Barbarian Ancient Realm was harsh, most of the people were animal skin clothes, and the better ones were also linen, in addition to low productivity, because they needed to hunt brute beasts, and these fabrics were not as durable as animal skin clothes, so only in the wilderness wear most of the cloth is not low.
Lin Xuan saw that Lin Ying had already controlled the stewardship, so he walked out with everyone, Lin Ying, as the highest cultivation among the people, in order to ensure that there would be no extraneous branches, he directly attacked, while Lin Xuan and the others acted as an ambush, waiting for the opportunity to move.
A few of the men who were on guard on the perimeter heard the movement and hurried to it, but when they arrived, they saw that their steward was being held to the neck with a dagger, and there were several people standing beside him, and they couldn't help but shout a warning.
Seeing a few people shouting, Lin Xuan frowned and said:
"If you dare to shout a word, I will kill him. β
Seeing this, all the subordinates stopped their voices in time and confronted Lin Xuan and the others.
Lin Xuan ignored Ji Ling, who fell to the ground, and Ji Xiu'er, who was already a little sluggish, came to the steward and said:
"Tell me what I want to know, and I'll spare you a dog's life. β
The steward has been traveling south and north for decades, and it is not the first time that his life is hanging by a thread, so he slowly calmed down, and he couldn't help but speculate in his heart about the purpose of Lin Xuan and the others kidnapping him, and when he heard Lin Xuan's words, he hurriedly said:
"Yes, yes, you ask, as long as I know, I will say it. "At this time, you must not disobey Lin Xuan's intentions, and act at the opportunity when the time comes.
"I ask you, what is this place. β
"Ah, this?" The steward couldn't help but pause when he heard this question, he originally thought it was a secret, but he actually asked this, seeing Lin Xuan's frowning, the steward didn't care about Lin Xuan's reason for asking, and said:
"This is the southeast region of the Cangwu Eastern Region, and the sunset forest is in front of it. β
γγγγγγγ
Lin Xuan just asked the steward to tell everything he knew about the world.
The place where Lin Xuan and the others were located was between the Sunset Forest and the Red Ridge Desert, and this world was divided into four major domains, namely the Cangwu Eastern Region, the Kuntian Western Region, the Wuxuan Southern Region, and the Heavenly Refining Northern Region. Although there is no aura here, it also gives birth to an indispensable condition for cultivation, which is the witch power in their mouths, which can unconsciously polish people's bodies, and naturally evolve into the unique cultivation level of this world, which is divided into the skin refining realm, the bone refining realm, the blood refining realm, and the marrow refining realm, and then the rumored witch, it is rumored that the witch can turn the witch power between heaven and earth into his own power, although there is also a hierarchy above the witch, but the realm of managing things is not well understood. And the strength of the demon beasts is also divided in the endless exploration, which are the beast realm, the spirit realm, the spirit realm, the demon beast realm, the demon pill realm, the transformation realm, the goblin realm, the demon fairy realm, the demon handsome realm, and the demon king realm. There are various tribes in this area, each tribe has its own totem of worship, and it is divided into upper, middle and lower tribes according to the size and strength of the tribe, and then there are prince-level tribes that dominate one side, and king-level tribes that form their own country.
Generally speaking, five Bone Refining Realms plus one Blood Refining Realm powerhouse, about three thousand clansmen are enough to form a low-grade tribe, and ten or more Blood Refining Realms plus five Marrow Refining Realm powerhouses can be upgraded to a middle-grade tribe, and the Shangpin tribe has at least one witch in charge, and there are hundreds of Bone Refining Realm powerhouses, this area belongs to the middle-grade tribe, the Wild Lion Tribe, the tribe has a population of tens of thousands, and it is a well-deserved overlord of this area.
Looking at Lin Xuan, who was thinking, an extremely crazy idea came out in the steward's heart, didn't this group of people belong here, no wonder the steward thought so, it was really Lin Xuan's problem, some even three-year-old children knew about it, but the steward quickly suppressed this idea, this group of people was very strong, and their cultivation in the bone refining realm was taken down in one fell swoop, but they couldn't annoy them, now their lives are still in the hands of others, and saving their lives is the most important thing.
"Guys, I know everything I said, I don't know if you can let go of the small one, the small one has walked this road many times, and I don't know when I have offended you, if there is, please don't remember the villain. If you don't have enough money, the small ones are willing to give away some family resources. β
Looking at the sincere steward, Lin Xuan sighed in his heart, but still said:
"I'll ask you one more question, you have to tell the truth. β
"Yes, yes, the villain understands. β
"I ask you, have you ever heard of the Guzhou Continent. β
