Chapter 21: The City of Reckless Husbands
readx;? The ruins of the wilderness are numerous and most of them are nameless, but the ruins where Mangfu City is located have a very loud name - Thundering Ruins. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Thundering Ruins will be called Thundering Ruins naturally has a story, it is rumored that more than twenty years ago, Starlight Master fought a strong opponent in this place, some people say it is a demon race, some people say it is a powerful mutant monster, some people say it is a whole wilderness army, in short, a big war broke out here.
In one fell swoop, the Starlight Master borrowed the three thousand ways of heavenly thunder, and arrived with the power of the great god, and ended the battle with a bang. Since then, he has become famous all over the world, and this is how the name of the first demon hunter of Tianyun Divine Domain came from. Since then, the Starlight Master has rarely gone all out, the Demon Hunter is not like an ordinary martial artist, his strength does not weaken with age, but will still continue to improve, now he is close to sixty years old, he must be getting stronger and stronger with age, as for how powerful no one knows.
There are not many existences in this era that can force the Starlight Master to make a move. Some people say that if Master Xiyun Starlight had been born in the era of the Great War of Gods and Demons, he might have become a great legendary demon hunter of a generation.
The location of Mangfu City in the thunderous ruins is not fixed, Mangfu City has a total of more than 1,000 bandits in the early years, even if you add the slave women who have been captured, the total number will never exceed 3,000, so just like the nomads, they put all their belongings on the back of horses and oxen, and they can move quickly at any time, and they are very flexible.
Now Mangfu City is different from Mangfu City a few years ago, the total population of the city has exceeded 10,000 people, in addition to absorbing other members in the last two years, there are also a large number of plundered slaves and women, and with the increase in population, Mangfu City is no longer as flexible as before.
Despite this, Mangfu City still maintains its style, and the entire settlement is not walled, even if there is not even a little simple fence, so it appears naked in the open area, which raises an astonishing number of wild beasts, from small wild wolves, wild lizards, to medium and large wild bulls, monitor lizards, and even a few giant beasts comparable to elephants, and the bits and pieces add up to probably two or three thousand.
The settlements of Mangfu City are generally dominated by animal skin tents.
The supply of such a large-scale camp and large-scale animal taming in the wilderness is a big problem, if it weren't for the reckless group to make a living by plundering, I am afraid that it would have collapsed long ago due to the shortage of survival resources.
When entering the camp, in addition to gambling, drinking, eating meat and other wilderness settlements are very common pictures, it is full of rude, barbaric and even bloody pictures, such as disobedient slaves being executed and chopped up, casually thrown outside to feed wolves, such as tying people up like dogs and throwing them at the door, or beating and torturing prisoners of war slaves on the street for fun, and even seeing a person riding a war horse, directly dragging a person to death, and the people around him cheeredγ
The people in the city are generally dressed in a strong wilderness style, tattoos, masks, iron helmets, prosthetics, these decorations are very common, and there are even several ugly ogres who are close to three meters tall walking back and forth in the city.
This kind of mutant person is very common in the depths of the wilderness, but in the wilderness area near the Tianyun God Domain, it is a relatively rare thing, and it is very likely that the black demon has reached out to the depths of the wilderness and recruited from far away super combat power.
Jingle bell.
A few bare-chested men were burning fires and striking iron in the open air.
A group of captives and women were exchanged for goods as currency.
When the three strangers walked into the city, it immediately attracted the sideways glances of some people, three people, two women and one man, the man wore a grimace mask, wore an inconspicuous gray cloak and walked in front, holding a rope in his hand, and the rope tied two women, like pulling two pet dogs into the canine tent.
"Stop!" a bandit with a missing front tooth and a large knife blocked the way, and he looked at the man with a few glances and said, "Where did you come from, why haven't I seen you?"
The masked man raised his head to look at him, and replied without humility or arrogance: "I am from the wilderness, and I have come to join the Mangfu Troupe, and the two women are my greeting gifts to the boss of the Mangfu Troupe." β
"Even the two women are too shabby, do you think our reckless group is so easy to enter? Which of the hell did the visionless grandsons recommend you to come here!" The missing front tooth bandit was very angry, and he glanced at the two women hastily, only to see that one of the women was covered with burn scars, and the other woman was even more suspected of being full of granulosarcoma caused by mutations on his face, which could almost make people vomit, "Look at what kind of goods you brought, our reckless group is not short of a few crooked melons and cracked dates." β
"This old man, you can't just look at the face, you look at the legs. The masked man saw that the other party was a little unhappy, he hurriedly lifted the tattered coarse long skirt of a woman next to him, revealing a long leg as straight as chopsticks, the woman seemed to be very angry, immediately put the skirt down, and waited for him viciously, the masked man didn't care about the woman's angry squint, but slapped her round and cocked buttocks, "Look at this ass, they are all high-quality, and the women in the wilderness are all thin ribs, how can they be compared with this? β
This incisor bandit was attracted most of the attention by the ugly faces of the two, and now he noticed the figures of the two women, although they were dressed very loosely, but they were really convex and backward, especially the straight chest, he could hardly help but go up and touch it.
"It's a little interesting, but I didn't see it, these two women are quite expected. In this way, don't be so troublesome, and pay homage to me directly. The gangster who lacked front teeth didn't know what politeness was, "Don't worry, I won't accept your things in vain, and report my name in Mangfu City in the future, at least no one among the newcomers will dare to bully you." β
Both women's faces changed slightly.
"I'm afraid that's not good. β
"What are you talking about?Isn't it filial piety to bring a woman, I don't want to give it, you won't have ulterior motives!" The bandit with missing front teeth showed a threatening look: "You'd better think clearly before you speak, the rule of Mangfu City for you has always been that you are only allowed to enter and not to leave." β
"Brother misunderstood, it's not that I don't want to give, but these two women have been booked by a boss, the boss is called One-Eyed, wearing a red eye patch, you see this is his token. β
"You said it was one-eyed,, waste time, get in, find a place to live by yourself, someone will naturally arrange it for you in a few days." β
When walking into this place, the population of Mangfu City gradually increased, and some of them were constantly recruiting troops and horses in the rapid expansion, so it was normal for unknown faces to appear, these three people were not others, officially Yun Ying and a few other people, Yun Ying couldn't see his face clearly with a thousand illusion masks, and Zi Ling and Sha Mu Min both made some disguises.
I have to say that Ziling is obviously familiar with this aspect for a long time, she prepared a human skin mask for Sha Mumin and herself, and now she looks full of scars and crooked melons and cracked dates, so judging from the appearance, it will not easily show flaws.
Most of the slaves in the city were slaves, the number of female slaves was slightly higher, and the number of male slaves was less, after all, women were easier to control than men, and women with good figures and postures were hard currency in the wilderness, and they could go to the black markets of various settlements at any time to exchange for money, the latter were mainly some handsome young men, or some skilled professionals.
In the eyes of these bandits, the number of slaves represents the level of strength, ability, and wealth. People want to eat, drink, and Lazar, and the cost of raising people is very high, so the more slaves they raise, the more they can show their ability, so there are many bandits whose income is obviously not enough to raise a large number of slaves, but they still have the courage to compare the number with others.
Slaves lived in fear because they had no status to speak of.
Not only do they have to be afraid of their masters, but they also have to be careful when they go outside, because if they are taken captive or killed by a knife, they can only consider themselves unlucky, because the slaves in Mangfu City are too lowly. In addition, the struggle for the survival of slaves came not only from the outside, but also from the inside, and every time the master hunted, he could bring back new slaves.
A bandit can provide living resources, and that's all there is to it.
There is always a limit to the number of people who can be fed, so what to do?
Generally, old slaves who are useless or tired of playing, if they are lucky, they can be transferred to others to continue to live for a while, and if they are unlucky, they will be killed directly to make animal feed, and the bandits will never show mercy to these slaves.
Survival is a biological instinct.
The same is true of lowly slaves.
In order to be alive, people naturally try their best to do their best, in addition to pleasing their masters, they also try their best to make themselves useful, such as helping to raise war beasts and help maintain weapons, while women come up with all kinds of tricks to serve their masters comfortably, and even privately trade with other slaves with better conditions in exchange for resources, as for those who have a skill, they can be self-sufficient, or assist their masters to start a small business in Mangfu City.
That's the weather of this wilderness city.
Tents full of canine teeth were full of animal pens and domesticated beasts, bandits often gambled and drank and ate meat in groups, and slaves served one by one with yellow faces and thin muscles.
"Are you new here?" a woman with an ordinary figure and a bitter face came over: "Do you want a tent, it's very cheap, but you can stay for a while, there are a lot of people who have come to join recently, you may have to wait for a while." β
This tent is usually made by women who usually pick up bones and rags and animal skins to a certain amount, and then stitch and sew them up piece by piece, although it looks tattered, but it undoubtedly takes a lot of effort, only one piece of dry food is needed for a day, Yunying has no dry food, and it is not convenient to give him money, so he took out a dagger and gave it to him.
The woman examined the dagger and said in surprise, "God's Domain?"
Yun Ying was also surprised that a slave had such a good eye: "You can recognize the things of the Divine Domain at a glance, it seems that you are not simple." β
"I was the captain of a fringe caravan in God's Domain a few years ago. The woman barely managed to squeeze out a smile on her thin face: "This weapon is enough for you to live for several days." β
Ziling watched the woman leave in a daze.
The two children came out of the tent next to her and hugged her feet, she bent down to pick up the two three or four-year-olds, and then returned to her tattered tent, and for the first time she felt that there was no difference between the people of the gods and the wilderness.
