Lord of Rot

Chapter 316 The Slave Ship Has Arrived

"pici~pici~" Pitts ordered to the two armadillos.

The armadillo, curled up into two scaly balls on the beach, bounced off and ran in front of Pitts.

The others immediately dispersed, lest they be hit by this kind of monster covered in leather armor.

Ordinary people will be injured if they are kicked by a pig, let alone an armadillo covered in armor.

And not only did they change in size, but the scales on their bodies also changed dramatically.

If its protective power was able to withstand bullets before, it should not be a big problem to resist ordinary caliber shells now. With the increase in body size dozens of times, the thickness and toughness of the scales will also change accordingly.

Li Qi even had an idea to train a troop of armadillo cavalry in the future.

But considering that the armadillo is very timid and will dig a hole and run underground whenever something happens, he still gave up this idea.

There are many ways to improve strength, but if your character is not suitable for the battlefield, there is no way at all.

"pici~pici~" Pitts said a few more words.

The armadillo immediately rushed to the cliff.

Clang clang.

The paws move quickly.

For humans, a mountain that cannot be dug with a hoe meets the claws of an armadillo, just like soft tofu meets an iron rake.

In a short while, they dug out two steps deep, and buried most of their bodies.

Li Qi boldly guessed that maybe within a few days, the tunnel excavation work, which is estimated to take several years in the eyes of ordinary people, will be announced to be completed.

Of course, digging through and being usable are two different things. He wants to open a tunnel that is spacious enough to pass through normally, not a cave with many twists and turns.

Fortunately, the intelligence of the armadillo, which has returned to its ancestors, has also improved significantly. As long as Pitts pays attention to it, it will not be a big problem.

After getting through in the early stage, people can go in for repairs and adjust slowly in the follow-up.

Busy below, Li Qi flew directly up the cliff on a rocket, and the insurmountable natural iron wall was instantly crossed under the flapping of the eagle's wings.

"Wow—!"

"what is that?"

"Monster, help!"

"It looks like a person is riding on it!"

When the eagle first appeared above the Iron Wall Castle, the people below screamed in horror.

But when the rocket landed, people could see the figure on its back clearly.

"It's Lord Lord!"

"My lord tamed such a magical beast?"

Rocket landed on the ground, raised his head proudly, and accepted all the eyes projected from all directions.

Lao Tzu is so majestic, come and worship Lao Tzu!
Li Qi jumped off the saddle, raised his hand and patted Rocket's body.

The "Gu Gu" rocket spread its wings, set off a gust of wind and flew into the sky, and even purposely flew over the head of the Tiegu people, lowering its height.

This move naturally ushered in another exclamation.

Rockets can patrol the skies above Iron Valley to catch some prey.

When domesticating the rocket, Li Qi has been deliberately maintaining its wildness, rather than turning it into a good baby who can't be beaten or killed.

Before Li Qi entered the inner castle, the 'Cinderella' Lily, who had a fire scar on her face, had already heard the news and trotted over.

They naturally sighed at the development of Iron Valley in the past month.

Generally speaking, there are not too many problems, and the development speed of the castle is also very fast, and Guy also sent the food, which completely solved the urgent need for food.

There have been no more corpses in the outside world, and everything is going well.

"At present, only a small number of food stamps are still in the hands of people, and they may want to use them when the food price increases." Lili bravely looked up at Li Qi's side face: "Should we abolish food stamps directly? ? The rest is only a small part."

When not everyone has food stamps in their hands, only a few people have food stamps in their hands. After the policy is implemented, they can choose to exchange food stamps for food, or the food stamps can be directly turned into waste paper.

"No need," Li Qi said, "Food is not a problem."

When the tunnel on the cliff is dug through and there is shipping, he can go to any corner of the world. Unless there is no harvest due to natural disasters, food will not be a problem.

Moreover, the implementation of the food stamp system is not considered a failure. When there may be a fiscal deficit in the future, food stamps will still become popular.

Lily brought up some of the more recent developments.

Among them, Fat Steward Hay has always reassured him, and has always maintained a passing line, and the quality of his work is fast and acceptable, but the situation of dirty hands is getting worse, and it is said that he is greedy a lot.

Li Qi chose to ignore this for the time being.

If a person is full, he will feel very uncomfortable and will vomit it all out.

"I have already arranged a group of people to manage Iron Valley. When they come up in a few days, you can help them get started quickly."

"Yes, my lord."

After two consecutive days of excavation, the winding passage two pigs wide has penetrated deep into the mountain.

The others didn't stay idle either. The initial planning of the dock, as well as the dock guard post, the construction of rest places, etc., also made preliminary progress.

After the tunnel is dug, Li Qi will leave behind several iron gates to deal with possible crises.

The raven sent a message.

"The slaves have arrived!"

Li Qi quickly left the castle, and after exhorting Lily a few words, he bit his finger and whistled.

"Hey!" The rocket responded from the sky.

He ran two quick steps and jumped onto the rocket's back before it stopped.

"Rocket, go back to the porcupine collar!"

"Wow—!"

Flapping its wings, Fengtuo lifted the rocket and Li Qi into the sky.

In the past two days, the Iron Wall Fortress people who have gradually accepted it, just looked up and stopped paying attention.

You can see it every day anyway.

……

The four ships sailed along the coast, reached the range of the East Gorge, and were heading towards Porcupine Collar.

Overhead are the sounds of people walking on deck, communicating.

Luka hugged his knees and curled up in the crowd.

This is a slave ship. Thousands of people are crowded in this cargo ship that can carry up to a hundred people.

The smell in the cabin became very pungent, but Luca thought he could bear it.

Just don't get sick.

He looked at the girl not far away from him. She was about the same age as him, but her condition looked very bad. Her cheeks were hot and red, which was a symptom of illness and a harbinger of being thrown into the sea.

But Luka couldn't do much, not only him, but everyone was the same, all he could do was to stay away from her, so as not to make himself sick.

"Boom, boom, boom!" The wooden stick hit the wall, making a frightening sound.

Luca turned his head to look in the direction of the voice, it was the slave owner.

The one who shuts himself is the slave owner, and the one above the slave owner is the slave owner. Luca can't tell the difference, but they only know that these guys can't be messed with, and it's best not to mess with them.

"You guys are lucky, we'll be there soon." The slave owner said to the people behind him, "Go in and pick out the dead ones later, and then let them have a full meal, otherwise the nobles will try their best to deduct money." We deserve it."

"Oh, I see."

Four or five people squeezed in.

They waved the sticks in their hands, for no reason, and poked them with the sticks when they saw someone who was not pleasing to the eye, but definitely not too hard, slaves with bad appearance could not be sold for a good price, and no one wanted slaves with broken bones.

Although Luca is very thin and skinny, he is still alive and can be sold for money.

But the girl's situation was not so good.

"There is a sick one here." The slave owner grabbed the girl's arm, and the other party was powerless to resist: "Throw it out, or everyone in the boat will get sick."

The girl knew her fate, but she was powerless to beg for mercy.

"Wait!" Luka shouted, "Isn't it coming soon? You can keep her, and she can sell for money!"

Luka responded with a kick, and his skinny body flew up and smashed into the crowd.

Fortunately, there are many people here, but the people who are crushed by Luka are miserable, ouch.

Luka's chest hurts from being kicked, and it feels like his bones are about to break.

This is the price to pay for interrupting.

If he could not be sold for money, he would definitely be thrown into the sea by now.

"He's right." The other said, "It will arrive in less than half a day. If you throw it into the sea now, you will make less money."

"Then take her up there to see if she can survive. If she can't survive, throw her into the sea to feed the fish."

No one cared that Luka was kicked, only the girl who was taken away looked at Luka gratefully.

"I hope you can survive" Luka secretly thought, he could do nothing but pray to his ancestors, praising and calling their names in his heart.

"The glory of blood protects me, Ferns"
