Chapter 1: Slaves
All around, as far as the eye can see, are houses made of sand and stones, high and low, row upon row. There is a lot of traffic between the houses, and the crowd is bustling.
In one corner of the market, a group of people sit listlessly on the ground, all facing the crowd, as if they were being put on display. They are all muscular and vicious-looking, except for the "alternative" in the middle.
A thin figure, a drooping head, a tattered sand robe and the pair of sun-burned arms underneath the robe.
Like everyone else, his drooping hands were bound in a heavy set of shackles. But unlike others, he appeared weak and helpless.
Gu Huai gradually regained consciousness, and his body began to feel, feeling the wind, and feeling the sand...... He slowly raised his head and opened his eyes, tired and confused.
There is a dim yellow wind and sand, and a small city.
A small city, a small city in the desert, a completely unfamiliar city.
Where is this? Gu Huai didn't know at all. He had never been to this place.
"Who is that, what about you!" a greasy voice shouted to Gu Huai, "Give me some spirit when you wake up!"
Gu Huai seemed to have just woken up from a nightmare, and a fierce voice broke into his head. He pulled his gaze back to him, and a short, fat, greasy, boss-dressed man was yelling at him, and beside him a well-armed man with the hilt of his sword was staring at him with burning eyes.
"I'll sell it for a good price?" Gu Huai was stunned for a moment, then looked around, a little suddenly, and finally understood something. He sneered in his heart: "Death is not death, but it may become better than death!"
He had heard his father say that there was a place called a slave market, and the merchants in it were called human traffickers. Traffickers will sell their labor as commodities to the buyer's house to make cattle and horses, and there will never be a day to turn over.
He wondered how he could be in such a place, how much better was it than exile, but he found that now was not the time to wonder, and that it was best to leave quickly.
Driven by the instinct to survive, he found an opportunity and was about to run away! But just when his butt was off the ground, he suddenly heard a big man next to him yelling:
"Fuck, fight!" and then kicked up with another man with a big shoulder and a round waist next to him, and ran out of the crowd.
"I want to run!" the strong warrior had been hovering beside the Humpty Dumpty Merchant, but when he heard the voice, he roared and rushed towards him. Only two "whoosh" sounds were heard, and the two outlaws who had just run out were killed on the spot.
The sudden change, the samurai's series of killing moves, and the blood that slowly soaked in the yellow sand made Gu Huai's back chill. Fortunately, someone tried the law first, otherwise there would definitely be a share of himself in the corpse on the ground.
"Who's next!?" The Humpty Dumpty merchant was a little angry, glaring viciously at everyone on the ground.
Gu Huai was still a little apprehensive, and his eyes were fixed on the warrior, for fear that he would find out what he had just done.
But this time he found something new. The armor worn by the warrior was uniquely carved, with exquisite patterns, and from time to time it emitted a yellowish halo. It looks sturdy, but the person wearing it moves freely, which shows that there is still the power of the five elements in the armor.
Since the beginning of the three worlds of humans, ghosts, and gods, metal, wood, water, fire, and earth have existed between heaven and earth. Among all the utensils, if there is one or several more prosperous, it shows unusual characteristics, which is called the five element utensils.
In addition to the five elements, there is also a force, which is qi.
The Three Realms know very little about the relationship between qi and the five elements, only that it is more difficult to obtain. Therefore, the things of strength are even more rare.
If it is hard and light, it must be a combination of earth and qi power. The armor of the strong man warrior is filled with qi magic divine power, and the content is not low, it must be a top-grade five-element artifact!
The Five Elements Artifact was already a treasure in the human world, but he didn't want to be here, but he could see a superb product as soon as he opened his eyes! Gu Huai's feeling of being so nervous that he was hairy gradually dissipated after seeing that armor.
Gu Huai is a bit like his father, obsessed with babies, obsessed with business, and of course, obsessed with wealth.
However, at the moment, he was a little hesitant, because he wanted to know where he was going.
