Chapter 509, bait with people
Cui Yun felt that something was wrong, and muttered something I didn't understand, and at this time, the two people guarding the door turned to us and shouted, "Hey." Didn't hear the drums? Don't get out yet! ”
Cui Yun stood up with his head down and trembling, and I followed behind him for some reason.
As soon as he turned his head, he saw a row of slave houses in the distance with all the doors open, and one by one, slaves, men and women, old and even children, walked out one after another, and slowly walked out under the threat of several guards wearing animal skin coats.
"Don't be sluggish, let's go!"
Someone urged.
I hurriedly walked up to Cui Yun and asked puzzledly, "Brother Cui, what the hell is going on?" Why did all these slaves come out? Isn't it time to eat only warrior slaves to come out? ”
Cui Yun grabbed my hand violently and whispered, "This village is surrounded by demon beasts, and these demon beasts are extremely powerful and very ruthless. So in order to avoid getting hurt to their villagers, these people used slaves as bait. Lure these monsters into the bait, then hunt them for food and as a source of clothing. All slaves are drawn by random lot, and whoever wins the lottery will be unlucky! However, it is usually enough to hunt only once a month, but today I have already hunted, so why beat the drum and why ......"
And I was shocked. Taking people as bait, although I have heard of such terrible examples of slavery dynasties, I am still shocked to see them with my own eyes.
"Let's go! Come on! ”
There were still people urging behind, and we slowly walked to the central square, and there were really a lot of slaves around, at least a thousand, except for me and Cui Yun, the slaves of the warriors, most of them were still wearing chains.
I saw some leather-clad villagers, hunters, and iron-clad warriors gathering, while the old man who had come against me stood on the altar at the front of the square, staring at us as if he were on top of us.
"Brother Cui, why are there so many slaves?"
I was becoming more and more curious about this place, and the Great Elder had told me that he hadn't seen anyone outside for a long time. But aren't all of the slaves here from outside?
"A large part of these thousands of slaves were taken from other tribes in this forest! There are only a few people from the outside world like you and me, and I once talked to one of the guys from the outside world, and he said that the place and the world were completely different from ours, and I think there may be a mystery in this! ”
Cui Yun's words shocked me again.
There are two meanings in this statement, first, there is not only one tribe in this forest, but other tribes are fighting. Second, people here seem to be able to travel to other worlds, Cui Yun is an ordinary person, he doesn't know the existence of another world, in fact, many people in the supernatural circle don't know that there is another world, but I know.
Sima Tian, the lion king, Xu Fo's predecessor. Broken Lovers...... These people are from another world, different from us!
"Don't talk, be quiet!"
A guy in a beast skin yelled at me, I closed my mouth and looked forward, and I could see Kuka standing in the middle of a group of ironclad warriors on his right, not first, but fourth on his right. If this is the ranking of combat power, then his combat power should be the fourth in this village.
Behind the ironclad warriors stood two rows of hunters in leather clothes, and on the left, stood three beautiful women, but different in appearance from the Chinese, a bit of Western women's feeling, fair skin, high nose bridge, plus pale blonde or flaxen hair, all dressed in coarse linen clothes.
"Today, we hunted a purple demon beast, this is the food given to us by the gods, but, when I prayed just now, the gods told me that there will be a war soon, we need to stock up on more food, make more leather goods, and need the bones of demon beasts to build powerful weapons, our iron ore is already insufficient, we need new iron ore, so, the gods guide us to hunt the huge demon beast guarding the iron mine in the west!"
The Great Elder and all the gods I have seen on the rivers and lakes are all expressions, and this kind of will deceive these brainwashed villagers, to put it bluntly, the gods in his mouth are all fake, and there is about to be a war, and the reserve materials are real.
"Slaves, your little lives will be made great by helping the gods, so it is time for you to give yourselves. Let them draw lots! ”
The Great Elder waved his hand, and I saw several hunters coming over with wooden boxes, and Cui Yun said in a low voice: "There are a lot of stones in the wooden box, and the one that hits the red stone is the bait, God bless God bless, I don't want to draw the red stone, I want to live, live......"
Soon Orion walked up to Cui Yun, this guy trembled and put his hand into the box, and then took it out with his eyes closed and looked at it, and immediately showed a look of joy, he didn't draw a red stone.
I also put my hand into the wooden box, and when I took it out, it was not red stone.
"Haha, you're lucky too."
Cui Yun looked very happy.
"Draw the red stone up, go!"
Orion cried out, and at this time I heard some crying voices, and looked away with a frown, but saw a Orion dragging a little girl out of the crowd, and the little girl kept crying, but her hair was pulled out, and Orion's face had a smile that pleased the Great Elder.
"Please, let her go, she's still a child."
An old man said in a loud voice, but was kicked to the ground by the guard next to him, and the guard roared, "Why don't you change with her?" ”
The old man still chose to be silent while more slaves lowered their heads, and Cui Yun beside me whispered: "They are all animals, and this is the third child I have seen being drawn as bait." Damn ......"
He scolded, but it was useless to move on.
The Great Elder slowly walked down from the altar, stood in front of the little girl, gently put his hand on her dirty face, and whispered: "Child, don't weep, it is a very noble thing to be able to give your life to the great gods, and your life will become meaningful because of it, and you will not be just a small individual, but a child of the gods......
"Fart ......"
I cursed in a low voice, but because it was so quiet, many people heard it.
The Orion next to me immediately looked at me angrily, raised his hand as if I had hit, and after I took a step back to dodge his attack, I slapped him in the face and threw the guy directly to the ground.
"Bold!"
Several ironclad warriors shouted at the same time, and all the guards around them also surrounded him, and Cui Yun hurriedly retreated in fear, as if he wanted to dissociate himself from me.
"You are so bold, you dare to insult the Great Elder!"
An ironclad warrior yelled at me.
I shrugged my shoulders and said with a light smile, "Which ear did you hear that I was scolding?" Is there any evidence? Is there a recording? ”
The ironclad warrior was so angry with me that he was furious, and when he was about to rush over, he was stopped by the Great Elder, and the old man looked at me and said, "Then what did you just say?" ”
I raised the stone in my hand, pushed away the crowd, walked to the little girl in full view, reached out to wipe the tears from her eyes, and said with a smile: "It's okay, my brother is here." ”
Then he raised his head and said in a loud voice: "What I said is that I exchanged with her!" ”
As soon as these words came out, not only the warriors and hunters were surprised, but even the slaves in the rear showed incredible expressions.
"You're going to swap with her?"
The Great Elder asked again.
"If you dare to love you, then I'll say it again, I'll exchange with this little girl, and I'll be the bait!"
I gently took the red stone from the little girl's hand and held it high. See the number of votes.
There was an uproar all around, as if my actions were unbelievable in their eyes.
It is a great irony that when true devotion is displayed in front of everyone, they cannot understand it.
"It's interesting, it's really interesting, then I'll follow your wishes and let you dedicate yourself to the gods. However, the demon beast entrenched in the iron ore is too powerful, and the dedication of one person may not be enough, so you can dedicate yourself to the gods with her......"
Once again, I was shocked by the viciousness of the old man in front of me!
