Chapter 20: Turmoil on the Road 2
Li Moxuan galloped all the way in the direction of perception, in that direction he could only vaguely have a sense, and after walking for a while, the noisy sound in the forest had already come out far away, and at the same time, Li Moxuan also saw some shaking figures.
Slowly approaching the swaying figure, Li Moxuan gradually lowered his figure, and his movements became gentle, holding his breath and calming his breath, trying not to make a sound, the situation here is unknown, and he doesn't know if it's good or bad. Li Moxuan decided to get closer first and quietly observe.
"In the middle of the night, how could there be so many people" Li Moxuan was a little puzzled in his heart.
When it was closer, Li Moxuan quietly catted to the side, completely blending into the darkness. Look intently and want to find out.
But at this glance, a wave of unprovoked anger rushed straight to his head, and Li Moxuan almost couldn't hold himself.
As far as the eye could see, after a little scrutiny, there were at least thousands of people, and these thousands of people were lying on their backs, lined up in several columns, and the line was extremely long. On the other hand, most of their clothes are a little dirty, and what is even more hateful is that everyone's hands and feet are chained.
There was a group of men dressed as warriors, brutally whipping the people who were chained and urging them forward.
The people who were whipped around, with weapons at their waists, were fierce and vicious, and as long as there were people who walked slowly, they were definitely whips, and they were beaten mercilessly. The thorny whip whipped on the escorted people, and in an instant it was a visible blood stain, and the pain made people tremble.
The slight fluctuations that Li Moxuan sensed at first came from this place.
These thousands of escorted people would be whipped from time to time, and if anyone could not help but cry out in pain, the wicked people who were beaten would be beaten even harder, and they would curse and curse while beating.
I only heard someone shouting loudly at this time.
"You despicable things, walking so slowly, only delaying the uncle's time, and letting the uncle accompany you in the middle of the night in this barren mountains and mountains, it's really fucking unlucky"
"Damn, it's so ugly," he said, and a few more vine whips whipped down,
A sharp-mouthed man who looked like a small leader said, "Brothers, bear with me, after all, I took the task of the employer, and when I sell them to the north and hand them over to the orcs, the deal will be completed, and when the time comes, the brothers will drink flower wine together, and I will treat you"
"Haha, haha"
"Oh"
This group of people scolded and whipped the escorted people in an extremely arrogant manner, and they got carried away for a while. In their opinion, in this deep mountain and old forest, it is the middle of the night, and no one will bump into it. Besides, they walked this escort road, but they deliberately spared a large circle, in order to avoid crowded places, so as not to attract the attention of others.
I have to say that this group of mercenaries still has two times to do such an unsightly thing.
But they didn't know that tonight, at this time, there was actually a person hiding not far away, watching their every move completely.
Listening to the conversations of these escort mercenaries, Li Moxuan finally figured out what was going on here, it turned out that these thousands of people were going to be sold, and they were going to be sold to the northern orc tribe realm. This group of mercenaries, benefiting from their employers, is carrying out their tasks without humanity.
The north is the territory of the orcs, Li Moxuan had heard his grandfathers mention it before.
On the Shenzhou continent, in the far north, it is located in the cold, and it is where the orcs gather. Orcs like to enslave humans, and after these thousands of slaves were sold to the orc country, the orc nobles were very fond of buying them.
The abundant creativity of humans can help them produce, grow, or become domestic servants in a much more convenient way than the rough and rudimentary orc servants. So in the upper class society of orcs, they are very willing to buy human slaves.
It's just that after human slaves were sold to the north, not to mention the loss of freedom as slaves and servants, life and death were not under their control.
This world is like this, as long as there is a place for trading, there will be countless injuries, and many of these slaves have been abducted and deceived by different means. After I came, I found out that I had been deceived, and some of them were directly taken captive, and now there is no hope of leaving.
A group of ordinary people, how can they be the opponents of this group of fierce and vicious mercenaries, there are still warriors who have awakened the fighting spirit among the mercenaries, and how can ordinary people who are powerless have room to resist.
"Damn, Lang Lang Qiankun, it's really hateful to have such a human flesh business" Li Moxuan scolded secretly in his heart.
He wanted to help this group of miserable people who were escorted, but the mercenaries in front of him were not quite a few in number, and a cursory look, some of them made Li Moxuan feel very dangerous.
The crowd passed slowly in front of him, the people who passed slowly with their bodies on their backs, their faces were full of exhaustion and pain, the moment they were caught, they were full of fear, and they also tried to resist, but it was all in vain, this group of mercenaries brutally suppressed them, and slowly everyone stopped struggling, and life was about to lose hope for them.
"If I want to save them, I have to go back to Sister Mi Fei and Brother Wang"
Li Moxuan is very smart, although the sense of justice in his heart makes his blood boil at this time, but he is not carried away by the blood, he also has self-knowledge, with his own strength, it is undoubtedly an egg against a stone, and he cannot fight against these mercenaries, let alone save people from them.
Moreover, the leading mercenary, as far as Li Moxuan's eyes could see, his six senses were greatly opened, and he could sense that there was a very terrifying fighting spirit in the leader's body, and that feeling was just like what he sensed when he faced Chairman Chen and the White Snake at the beginning. That's the strength of a high-level fighter.
"Doing it alone is definitely not the best policy" Li Moxuan is very sure.
Thinking of this, Li Moxuan was ready to quietly retreat and go back to move the rescue soldiers.
"Slap, smack" A mercenary with a thief's eyebrows and a stinky face whipped one whip after another, and the sound of whipping was very loud, which showed how much force was used.
"Old immortal, hurry up for me, go so slowly, delay the time for the uncles to drink flower wine, see if I don't kill you" Saying this, the mercenary with a foul face and a lot of whips went down.
"Hurry up for me, go so slowly, you're tired of it."
"Smack, smack"
"Spare my life, my lord, I really can't walk" A very weak pleading voice, as well as a loud whipping sound, pulled back the gaze of Li Moxuan, who was about to leave quietly.
Li Moxuan raised his eyes.
"Old immortal, get up, don't lie down, hurry up," the mercenary who stood aside and had a scumbag on his face shouted angrily.
"Smack"
"Don't get up yet, kill you old thing" The scumbag mercenary and the thief eyebrow mercenary whipped the old man alternately, urging him to stand up.
The old man had gray hair, and his face was full of wrinkles, and he looked weak. His eyes were bloodshot, and he was extremely weak at first glance. But these two hateful mercenaries did not show mercy to his subordinates, and still whipped him viciously.
This old man was originally a carpenter in a small village, and he lived a stable life with his grandson alone.
But that night, a group of strong men broke into the village, and arrested people when they saw them, and the old man only had time to hide his young grandson, and the big men had already broken into the door and took him away without saying a word.
They were kept in a darkened underground cell, and they never saw anyone outside except for the daily detainees, who brought food and water. A few days later, he was transported out, escorted by this group of mercenaries, and he traveled late at night every day, eating some nutritious soup and water, and having to endure whipping, with the old man's grade and physical condition, he could not hold it anymore.
The old man just felt the world spinning, and then he fell. He was really tired, who would have thought that the scum mercenary would care if he lived or died, and when he saw this old man fall, he was immediately whipped and kicked.
"Old thing, still pretending to be dead"
"See if I don't fight until you get up," the scumbag mercenary shouted angrily.
"Slap" was another whip swing, and a new wound was added to the old man's already bloody flesh.
But at this time, the old man was motionless, he no longer had the strength to struggle, "Let them beat me to death and leave this painful world as soon as possible."
The old man's eyes were full of death, and the onlookers around him were shivering, for fear that he would be the next one to fall to the ground.
At the moment of life and death, where can Li Moxuan take care of going back to move the rescue soldiers, if he leaves now, this old man will definitely not escape death today. The scene in front of him had already made him forget the danger for a while. The strength of his body surged, and he wanted to rush out to stop the two vicious gangsters in front of him.
There was not the slightest look of pity on the face of the slag mercenary, anyway, in the escort mission, the death of a few slaves was just a normal situation, and it had no effect at all.
The slag mercenary raised the rattan weaving extremely indifferently, and wanted to swing it down again at the old man who collapsed on the ground.
"Stop"
A rough voice came, but it was not Li Moxuan, who was already ready to go, and the slag mercenary looked in the direction of the voice.
The rattan whip paused for a moment, and a stout figure walked out of the escort with a clanging sound.
Seeing that there was a change in the middle of the way, Li Moxuan stopped his figure, held his breath again, and quietly fell silent, watching the development of the situation.
The voice of the stop was from a bald man, a burly man, with a somewhat innocent looking face, and anger in his eyes, staring at the stubble mercenary who whipped the old man.
"If you keep fighting, he'll die"
"He's just an old man!"
The scumbag mercenary turned to look at the bald man who walked out, and said with a disdainful smile.
"It's you again, what's the matter, you want to be whipped for someone else again"
There was no fear in the bald man's eyes, and then he said, "This is a human life, let him go."
On the side, a thief-eyebrow mercenary said arrogantly, "You better take care of yourself first, talk to a slave about human life, can you manage it?"
"I see that you have itchy skin and want to find a fight, why do you have you every time, if it weren't for your rough skin and thick flesh, you can be sold for a good price, I would have smoked you to death before," the thief eyebrow mercenary continued.
Obviously, this is not the first time that this big bald head has stood out for others, nor is it the first time that this group of mercenaries has been stunned, so this group of villains is extremely familiar with this big bald head that appears.
In this world of the jungle, whether it is the old man or the big bald head that appears, in the eyes of this group of mercenaries, their lives are really like mustard. If you don't pay attention, you will be deprived of your life by others.
The scumbag mercenary ignored the bald man who made a sound, and just ignored this ugly and hard stone.
The rattan weave was raised again in the hands of the scum mercenaries, and if this rattan whip went down, I am afraid that the old man would have to die on the spot.
Lao Yu slowly closed his cloudy eyes, and before he died, he showed a smile, which was a relieved smile.
No more torture, finally free!
