I rummaged through Mu Dongli's study, and found the sun setting at noon, but found nothing but the fragments of cloth.

I'm afraid I won't be able to find the record of the red-eyed golden crow, so I can only wait for tomorrow dawn to set off and return to the Central Plains, and see if I can find another opportunity to blend into the main altar of the Shinrikyo in the future...... Either way, at least this trip was not in vain.

Twenty years ago, what happened between the Central Plains martial arts and the Shinrikyo religion? Why did Helian Wuwu, the leader of the awesome generation, die alone in that deserted house in the mountains, and who wrote the words on this cloth?

Too many questions came to her mind, pressing on her already tense nerves, and she felt like she couldn't breathe.

At first, she was only coveted because she had the legendary secret treasure Nine Heavens Divine Key, but now that the treasure is gone, it stands to reason that she should be able to live a few days of peace, but she didn't expect these things that should not have been related to herself to follow one after another, so she had to face and bear it.

Hey, that's a lot of pressure......

Following.

Early in the morning, she took Shumo to prepare to bid farewell to the Mu family brothers and sisters, and there were still many things waiting for her to do, even if it was not even a day.

Mu Honglian saw that Chaolu was leaving, and immediately pulled down her face and was unhappy, "You only came yesterday, why don't you stay for a few more days?" ”

"I also think, it's really physically and mentally exhausting to be running around on the road all this time," Chaolu, who hadn't slept well all night and stared at the two panda-eyed eyes, sighed helplessly, "But the search for the red-eyed golden crow can't be delayed, and after I leave Fengzhou, I have to go to the main altar of the Truth Cult immediately to see if I can find a chance to blend in." ”

"That'...... Or I'll go with you! Mu Honglian held Chaolu's hand tightly, although she didn't know exactly what kind of place the Demon Sect was, she still felt uneasy when she thought about it.

"Oh, no! If there are too many people, it is easy to be noticed~" Looking at Mu Honglian, who is very smug on weekdays, she is rarely worried about herself with meticulous care, Chaolu is very moved, but how can she drag the unrelated Mu family brothers and sisters into the water because of her own affairs? "When I'm done with this, I'll come back to you right away!"

After getting Chaolu's assurance, Mu Honglian reluctantly let go of her hand, "You have to talk about it, or else...... I'll take those two vinegar jars from your house and use them as my harem!" ”

Damn, this declaration is really domineering!

Chaolu, who was made to cry and laugh by these words, smiled indifferently and said, "Okay, it just so happens that I am also worried and don't know what to do with them...... By the way, they don't belong to my family, so I don't care. ”

After laughing for a while, he finally waved goodbye to the Mu family brothers and sisters and left the mountain gate of Poison Dragon Village.

Before returning to the Central Plains, she decided to go to Scarlet Plains City first, and there were almost ten days to go, and she had to prepare some supplies.

She had already seen this when she came here before, in this wild place where the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, there is no law to speak of, only the weak eat the strong, and only strength can decide a qiē.

When He Chenyao came here a year ago, she was still a little weak chicken who could only flutter casually twice, and she could easily be put down, but now although she is still a little short of the realm of martial arts masters, she is still more than enough to deal with a few cannon fodder minions and even small boss-level enemies, so she has a lot of confidence when she leads Shumo into the city gate.

I went into the city to buy some dry food to eat on the road, and when I turned a corner, I was stopped by a hunchbacked man who described it as obscene.

"Do you want to see the 'goods'? I've got some good fresh goods here~"

Goods?

Hearing these unexplained words, Chaolu couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that this Scarlet Plains City has been buying and selling slaves since ancient times, and then suddenly realized what the other party said about "fresh goods" represented.

I wanted to turn my back and leave, but suddenly I couldn't help but feel a little curious, so I lowered my throat and said coldly: "Lead the way." ”

He followed the man through a dark underground passage and finally came to a large room full of people.

The room was the size of half a football field, like an underground market. After walking a few steps, you can see unknown beasts in large iron cages surrounded by crowds, and a little further away are young girls who have been stripped of their clothes and sold as slaves lined up for buyers to choose from.

This shocking sight made her heart tighten, and it was unknown what the expression of Shumo, who was wearing a cloak to hide her face, walked heavily around the cages where the slaves were held for sale, and finally came to a high platform where the auction was taking place.

The people here seem to have no sense of shame at all, only to see a man who has just finished the piston exercise and has not had time to get dressed, leaning on the big bed in the inner room, lying next to a few red-faced and red-eared people who keep writhing their bodies. Woman with medicine......

If it were the morning dew that traveled through the past, she would definitely not be able to bear such a thing that violated morality, but now she gritted her teeth and endured her breath, standing silently in the crowd waiting to buy slaves.

Two sturdy men pushed an iron cage covered with black cloth to the center of the platform, and the crowd gradually quieted down.

The black curtain was lifted, and what appeared in front of everyone's eyes was a fierce and roaring black panther!

Then a young man with a shackle around his neck was rudely dragged up like an animal, what was this going to do? Is it to show everyone that this panther has a good mouth?

However, the strange thing was that the young man who was thrown into the iron cage was not afraid at all, and his dirty face was so dirty that he couldn't see his facial features clearly, only a pair of unusually bright eyes exuded a fiercer and more aggressive gaze than the black panther......

"Whew!!"

The black panther, who had been hungry for a long time, saw that prey came to the door, and flew over with a roar.

And the skinny young man bent his back and landed on all fours like a beast, and in an instant, his figure moved, and he rushed towards the black panther like lightning, this extremely thrilling scene made everyone present gasp - Chaolu, who was still holding a breath for the young man, realized that there was such an inhuman strength hidden under the weak body of the other party!

Compared to the panther's rampage, the young man's movements were agile and cunning, he attacked from the front to mislead the panther's vision, and then bounced to the side with lightning speed on his toes, and the seemingly weak and slender arm slammed into the panther throat - "Whew! ”

The beast let out a whimper of pain, and because it could not breathe, it raised its claws and flailed wildly, and its huge body flipped over and pressed the thin boy to the ground.

However, the young man seemed to be unconscious, and even though he was being suppressed by the heavy body of the black panther at the moment, his movements did not relax for a moment, and he still strangled the throat that was enough to kill the black panther......

I saw that the black panther struggled in pain for a while, and finally fell to the ground due to the lack of oxygen in the brain, and never moved again.

The boy who had killed the panther with his bare hands left the spot, but before he could reach the edge of the iron cage, two burly men walked by and threw a heavy chain to lock him up again.

The auction began, and because of the thrilling battle between man and beast just now, many buyers shouted extremely high prices.

For some reason, when Chaolu saw the boy gobbling up the raw meat thrown by the people like a wild beast, she threw out a thick pile of silver tickets without thinking about it.

Since her bid was much higher than the price offered by the buyers, the sale was quickly closed.

When the man in charge of the auction handed the end of the chain attached to the shackles in the young man's throat to Chaolu, he reminded with a vigilant face: "This kid is very dangerous, and several buyers have died at his hands!" You have to be careful, we are not responsible for the slaves once they are sold—"

She didn't say a word to take the heavy chain, if she hadn't witnessed the whole process of the other party's killing of the black panther in seconds, she couldn't imagine how dangerous it was for a boy who was only thirteen or fourteen years old. It's just that at this moment, the young man is sitting on all fours like a little beast and is being led by her, but he is also very quiet and obedient......

Shumo didn't ask her why she had to buy a slave and come back, and she couldn't tell why she had given the money on the spur of the moment, maybe she just didn't want to let this young man who seemed to have forgotten his identity out of the life of fighting with beasts in exchange for food.

With this young man who didn't know when he would suddenly attack people like a time bomb, he left the black market and walked out of the city gate, and Chaolu dared to put the cooked beef he had just bought in front of the other party, "Eat." ”

Hearing Chaolu's words, the young man raised his head vigilantly, and a low hoarse hiss like a beast came from his throat, and she had to take Shumo a few steps away from the same place - although she wanted to let go of the iron rope and return him to freedom, but this state was obviously not good now, and it would not be good if she let it go out and hurt innocent people.

Sure enough, when there was no one around, the young man cautiously leaned over to the beef, sniffed it, stretched out his tongue and tried to lick it, and only after making sure that there was nothing unusual before he ate it with confidence.

Seeing him finish eating from afar, Chaolu breathed a sigh of relief and turned back.

"You...... Where is your home? "Trying to communicate with the other party, it is said that most of the slaves sold in the black market were also captured from outside, this child is so young, it is impossible for him to be with wild beasts all day from the beginning, right?

The boy raised his head slightly, his dirty little face was almost out of shape, as long as the pair of star-bright eyes flickered, and his bony back was covered with deep and shallow whip marks, he knew how many unimaginable inhuman abuses he had suffered in the black market.

Perhaps because of this, he is always wary of people, as sensitive and fragile as a small beast that has just fallen into a hunter's trap.

Looking at the young man in front of him, Chaolu suddenly remembered that the little grape he had saved was in a similar state, and he felt more and more pity in his heart, but there was no other way but to let the young man let down his guard step by step......
