At this time, in that deep pit, there were already six or seven dying figures lying horizontally.

Lin Luo saw that among the figures in the pit, the youngest looked like a child of about ten years old.

And in the vicinity of the pit, there are obvious signs of being turned over in many places.

Obviously, there are already many slaves buried alive in the underground of that area.

In this primitive era, the main composition of slaves was prisoners of war from rival tribes.

Once you become a slave, you will lose your freedom, have no human rights, and can even be beheaded at will.

However, there are very few tribes that will do things like to kill slaves at will.

After all, in this primitive age of low productivity, every labor force is very precious.

Especially for young slave girls, the tribe will arrange some lighter work.

When those female slaves became pregnant, they could even leave the slaves and become tribesmen by virtue of the fetus in their wombs.

But apparently, the Hideous Tribe didn't care about that.

Among those busy figures, there were many young female slaves, all of whom were engaged in heavy labor like other slaves.

Moreover, once a slave loses the ability to work, he will be directly abandoned, and he will not be given time to regain his strength at all.

In this way, these slaves are completely used as consumables.

This allowed Lin Luo to finally see with his own eyes the ferocity of the Hideous Tribe.

"Whoa!" ......

Just as Lin Luo was thinking with an ugly face, a sound like the sound of an iron chain suddenly came into his ears.

Hearing this sound, Lin Luo immediately turned his head to look in the direction where the sound came from.

I saw a team of slaves carrying a large amount of ore on their shoulders on the mountain road not far away, walking down the mountain along the mountain road.

The slaves' hands and feet were all shackled in bronze and rattled when they walked.

Totem Warriors!

Feeling the totemic power emanating from those slaves, Lin Luo's eyes widened suddenly.

A totem warrior who became a slave, this is obviously a bit beyond Lin Luo's cognition.

After all, according to the common sense that Wu taught him, after the defeat of the tribe, the totem warriors were to be killed immediately.

But Lin Luo never expected that he would see a totem warrior-level slave here.

"It seems that Wu's understanding of this world is not very comprehensive!"

Looking at those totemic warriors who had become slaves, Lin Luo thought to himself.

Depending on where people are located, they will naturally look at things from different angles.

The position of Yiwu and the things he experienced can only keep his cognition at the level he is in.

For the higher level of things, it is obvious that Wu Ye cannot know everything.

Everything that exists will have its rationality.

Just like these totem warrior slaves in front of him, Lin Luo quickly guessed the reason why the Hideous tribe left them.

Compared with ordinary people, the physical fitness of totem warriors in all aspects is undoubtedly many times stronger.

Using them as mining labor, it is obvious that one person can withstand at least ten ordinary people.

So, leaving them as slaves is obviously more useful than killing them outright.

Of course, it is also extremely dangerous to use a totem warrior with strong combat power as a slave.

And the reason why the Hideous tribe dared to do this, in addition to having a tool like bronze shackles to restrain them, it also showed the Hideous tribe's confidence in their own strong strength.

What tribe do these totem warrior slaves come from?

Immediately, a question resurfaced in Lin Luo's mind.

Then, his gaze immediately turned to the chests of the totemic warrior slaves.

Although those people were all naked, because of the long hours of mining, their bodies were covered with dust, and the totems on their chests were also covered.

After Lin Luo's gaze scanned several people in a row, he finally found that the totem on the chest of a totem warrior was not completely covered in dust.

But when Lin Luo squinted his eyes slightly and carefully identified the totem pattern, his eyes widened slightly again.

Although a small half of the totem pattern on the totem warrior's chest was covered in dust, Lin Luo quickly recognized that it was the totem of the Zhijin tribe.

The totem warriors of the Szakin tribe became slaves of the Sinister tribe, which undoubtedly shows that the Szakin tribe has most likely been wiped out by the Sinister tribe.

These busy slaves in front of him are also very likely to be members of the Zhijin tribe.

The Zhijin tribe, which has been looking for a long time, has been wiped out by the Hideous tribe.

Such a result undoubtedly made Lin Luo depressed.

Could it be that the Hideous Tribe suddenly came to this area this time also for the superb smelting technology of the Zhijin Tribe?

Thinking of the superb smelting technology of the Xujin tribe that could smelt pure copper, coupled with the fact that the warriors of the Gui tribe generally used bronze weapons, Lin Luo couldn't help but secretly think in his heart.

But then, he shook his head slightly to deny this conjecture.

Because he saw that the rectangular copper blocks that had been cooled and shaped by the mold were not purple-red in color.

Among them, it can even be seen that there are a lot of impurities left in it that have not been completely removed.

Obviously, the Yakini tribe did not master the smelting technology of the Zhijin tribe.

In other words, the Yakini tribe did not come for the smelting technology, otherwise after the Zhijin tribe was destroyed, it would be impossible for them to be unable to master the smelting technology.

If it weren't for the smelting technique, what could make the Hideous tribe send so many totemic warriors to the trouble of coming?

Lin Luo thought to himself as he glanced at the contents of the refinery, and soon his gaze was fixed on the ore that those totem warrior slaves had just transported.

For the mine!

Lin Luo felt that he had found the answer.

Judging from the fact that the warriors of the Vicious tribe all used bronze weapons, bronze must have been widely used within the Vicious tribe.

And if you want to cast a large number of bronzes, it is naturally impossible to lack the most important copper.

In this primitive era, it was obviously not easy to find ore veins.

What's more, with the low smelting technology of these earthen furnaces in front of them, if the copper content of the veins is small, not much copper can be refined at all.

The copper ore that the totem warrior slaves had just transported looked to be extremely high in copper, proving that there was a very high-quality copper vein here.

It may be that the Yakini tribe got the news and knew that the Zhejin tribe was sitting on a high-quality copper mine, so they sent a large number of warriors to this area to take this copper vein for themselves.

After figuring out the reason, Lin Luo immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, this proves that the Vicious Tribe is only here for the copper mines, and has no intention of conquering and expanding this area.

This is undoubtedly good news for their tribal alliance.

At the same time, it also made Lin Luo sigh secretly: The husband is not guilty!

In this savage primitive world, sometimes the dangers brought by opportunities beyond the scope of one's own strength may far outweigh the benefits, and it is better not to have them.

It's just a pity that his exploration for the sake of the Zhijin tribe this time will come to nothing.

And just as Lin Luo was sighing secretly, his face suddenly changed, and he immediately turned his head to look behind him.

Because he sensed that Zixiao was warning him of an enemy attack.

Zixiao, it's been discovered!
