The Underworld vanished overnight, causing a shocking effect in Astra.

The Dian Maze Building also moved away at night, and half of the city where the Hades were located became chaotic and desolate.

Although there was no city lord to manage it, the situation quickly stabilized, and after some fighting among the more powerful tribesmen on the periphery, they began to gradually eat away at the remaining territories.

The groups that made their fortunes during this time were little-known plantations, which were able to sell expensive ingredients to supplement their finances in the process of small-scale strife.

Ma Yang made a brief deployment before leaving, this place has become a new home for the wanderers, with the help of the dragons and elves, the war will not affect here, and the cultivation of Ah Qi and others has also improved rapidly.

The one who benefited the most was the diminutive sub-human who everyone hadn't noticed, and the young man named Ark who had led Ma Yang earlier was the real owner of the plantation.

Ma Yang had previously introduced the boy to Ah Qi and them, and after several verifications in Basha, he also recognized the boy's character.

Because he wanted Ah Qi to be the leader at the beginning, but he was directly rejected, he didn't have such a smart head, and it was not enough to use it for cultivation alone.

Only then did Ma Yang think of the Ark he had met when he first came in.

Born into a poor little family on the outskirts of Astra, Ark's family did not last long, and was completely wiped out by the enemy in a small war after birth, and his parents threw Little Ark into the river behind the clan early, and it flowed down the sewers into the city of Astra.

The old beggar who fed him, when he came to the edge of the sewer in the morning to wash, found the baby crying in the bamboo basket until it was silent.

The word "poor" is a very good word for the old beggar, and after having Ark, he did not suffer any grievances, and Ark's childhood life was spent in a relatively warm environment.

Having a certain amount of knowledge and an upright mind is what sets Ark apart from other beggars, because the old beggar will often take Ark to some bookstore or school door, relying on his old face to let Ark listen and study.

When I was a child, I didn't know much truth, but the old beggar told me: "No matter how poor a person is, he must have a rich heart." You have to be knowledgeable and moral so that you don't continue to be a beggar. ”

Later, he gradually saved money, and then he went to the dock to move goods.

Although the Devourer is not valuable, what is valuable is the method of domesticating the Devourer, and the ability to establish communication with this well-behaved beast is what makes Ark unique.

Generally, the relatively thin or diseased devouring beasts will be discarded directly, so it has also become a rare meat for many beggars, although their meat is not much, but it is also a rare meal for beggars.

And the old beggar has a high rank in the group, never goes out to beg in person, and does not have to worry about food, which gives Ark a suitable living environment.

Even beggars have their own rules of survival, no matter how dark and disorganized the environment is

There are rules that come naturally to them.

Being able to find a way to keep the group under his leadership fed and fed and no longer endure hunger is the merit of the old beggar.

The wise old beggar became the leader of Astra's beggar gang at a young age, leading the originally scattered beggars to form a strict organization, especially when it comes to getting along with other low-end industries, and changing the annoying image of the past.

This gradually gave the beggars some suitable jobs, such as helping to deliver goods to the mouth of the devouring beast, or going out on expeditions with the adventurer's team.

They were also hired by large families to clean the courtyard or become their eyeliner, and they were able to earn much richer food than before, so that the beggars could have a rich life.

"When you go out every day, pay more attention to whether the Devouring Beast has been thrown out, this is Xiao Yake's request to everyone." The old beggar stumbles upon Ark's special interest in Devourers.

It was still relatively easy to collect the Devouring Beasts, compared to the beggars scattered all over the city, it was easy to collect a few dozen, but within a few days of sending them, they began to die in large numbers.

After all, he was abandoned for various reasons, and he couldn't survive long in front of his children.

Fortunately, little Ark knew this truth, and he didn't take the death of the devouring beasts too seriously.

When he reached the age of twelve, he was taken out of his savings by the old beggar to buy decent clothes, and became a professional leader in the harbor outside the city.

As long as you are clever and smart, the industry makes a lot more money than begging for food, and Ark gets through the initial period of discomfort and quickly assimilates into the role he is in now.

"Look at that kid, you can meet a big boss almost every week, he makes a lot of money, do you know who he is?"

"I watched him go to the slum buildings by the city walls every day, probably the children of beggars."

"Then he has a little too much money." If he makes too much money in his hands, it will cause people with red eyes to stand up and bully him, as a subhuman race, his stature is relatively short, not to mention Ark, whose food is only maintained at the stage of filling his stomach.

In the end, it was in this matter that Ark was often beaten with a blue nose and swollen face, and after a short time, the old beggar also died of a serious illness.

In an instant, Ark's spirit completely collapsed, although the other beggars were still very good to him, but the old beggar was in his mind, and he could be regarded as a family member.

When the only family member in the world was gone, the old beggar had left him some savings, and Ark bought thirty of the best breeds of devourers to carry them as the trainers he had always longed for.

The heavens still favored him, and after doing the carrying work, he had been smooth sailing, and with his talent for communicating with the devouring beasts, these thirty devouring beasts were much stronger than the same kind of people around them.

"I've just been here, are there any rules in this city?" The tall Ma Yang walked briskly down from the giant ship and chose the short Ark.

Around Ark were dozens of them

The devouring beasts that are jumping and hugging together, with big eyes and round bellies, are very cute.

"Astra is a free trade city-state, located in the east of the Calamity Continent, close to the endless Black Sea, and the most abiding rule is respect for the strong, that is, an existence like you, boss, will be respected here!" Ark tried his best to introduce him in a tone that was not too flattering and objective.

He didn't expect that this encounter would change the trajectory of his life again, but this change would affect him for a long time.

Ark's heart trembled when he received the gold bars, he had never seen so much money since he was a child.

There is an unwritten rule in the world of porterage that every animal trainer will sign an agreement with the store owner in the free trade market to bring every employer they meet into the store as much as possible.

This is the way to survive, these free trade market shops, treat these merchants will be hard to knife, after all, they are all passers-by, even if they are pitted for a short time, they can't come back to find trouble again.

Yake thought about it again and again and brought Ma Yang over, and told the store in advance that he couldn't pit him too much, so he casually found a reason to prevaricate and reluctantly convince the shopkeeper.

"I won't be here for a while, you can stay here on the plantation I built." This employer is different from the one you usually need, and the deep gaze seems to be able to see through the soul when you look at yourself.

The most amazing thing is that there is a third eye at the center of the other party's eyebrows, and this magical race has never been seen in Astra's territory.

And the people he brought over all possessed terrifying divine power, although he didn't quite understand what divine power was, but that not weak power was invisibly emanated.

"My lord, I don't know much about planting skills...... I can't give you any money......" Ark said.

"I didn't let you stay here to be a farmer, you can continue to do what you like, and your smart mind has to find a way to show it." When Ma Yang first saw Ark, he was kind.

He recalls that when he was at home, the ingredients that were not used up when the store closed every night would be made and given to the poor people around him.

"My lord, I am willing to follow you wherever you are going! I don't have any relatives here anymore, and you were the first to say that to me. "Ark told himself every day that if he returned from the underworld, he would have to leave with Ma Yang.

There was no warning, but it was the case, Ma Yang did not come back from the underworld at all, only Ah Qi and them came back, and they also brought a few corpses.

"Where have you gone? Why didn't he come back with you? Ark asked, chasing after Ah Qi.

"The adults were taken away, and I don't know the specifics." Ah Qi's face was ugly, this trip did not help Ma Yang, and he also let his companions die in battle.

"Where's Ma Teng? Why didn't Ma Teng come back with him? Ark was interested in this little kid of his size, and had just arrived

I had a lot of fun playing with him here.

After learning about the relationship between Ma Teng and the adult, Yak seemed a little reserved, but Ma Teng told him not to care about these details, Ma Yang was very easy to get along with and would not care about these.

"He disappeared after the adults disappeared, so he must have followed him somehow." Ah Qi handed a letter to Ark and walked into the base camp with his baggage.

What was written in the letter was nothing more than Ma Yang telling Ark to become independent, and that he and Ah Qi and the others would manage the plantation well.

Ark was disappointed not to mention where he would go, but he remembered the ancient legend that the city's first lord lived in the spire of the city, and that he possessed incredible powers of time and space.

Although he could feel the extraordinary power brought around the spire, no one had ever seen the true face of the castle lord, and it was said that he had the great ability to reverse time and space.

Ark decides to enter the spire with the letter and seek the help of the lord.
