"Well, after all, we don't have a meal. If you want to eat, you can eat it 24 hours a day," said the strong man in black robe, jumped off the dragon carriage, and shouted loudly, "Brothers! Stop fighting! No need. Stay alive!"

Before he finished speaking, he had already taken the lead and punched the capable man.

The lean man was startled and turned to the side, narrowly dodging the punch.

"I'm kidding you! How dare you resist!" He suddenly became furious, pulled out a machete and stabbed the black-robed man in front of him.

Puff.

The scimitar stabbed into the opponent's body smoothly.

It went so smoothly that the capable man was stunned for a moment.

This, this big guy is so free?

However, when he raised his head and looked at the face under the hood of the big man, he was stunned.

"Hey, no matter how many times, it's still so interesting to see the expressions of you idiots," the black-robed tough man said with a sneer, saying something he didn't understand, and then grabbed his right hand holding the knife.

Just a gentle squeeze.

Click.

"Uh-huh!" The capable man suddenly let out a shrill scream.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I hurt you," the strong man in black robe smiled and let go of his hand. The man's right hand immediately dropped. The joints were deformed, white bone fragments pierced the skin, and the whole arm was covered in blood. dripping.

The man knelt down directly, breathing heavily and letting out a vague cry because of the severe pain.

"Yuan, stop playing around," the man in black robe in the distance couldn't stand it any longer, "Don't you make me look like a devil by doing this?"

"Eh? He's the one who came to make trouble for us anyway," the black-robed tough man muttered, "Okay, then I'll let you go."

As he spoke, he pulled out the machete stuck in his stomach, turned it around in his hand, and grinned at the lean man kneeling on the ground.

When the latter saw this, he was shocked and shouted: "No! No! No! What are you going to do! Come on! Come on..."

However, before he finished speaking, the scimitar was instantly chopped off.

He didn't even feel a trace of pain, he only felt that his vision was spinning.

There was a snap and his head rolled to the ground.

He didn't understand why the number of people on his side was several times that of the other side, and why he would suffer this fate.

I don’t even understand why no one came to help me.

And his remaining consciousness finally gave him the answer after his consciousness dissipated.

He saw the six black-robed dwarves who were killing each other.

He saw his men beaten to the point of being unable to fight back.

He saw heads spinning in the air.

He saw the hood of a short man in black robe lowered.

What was exposed was a round yellow head and a swaying green seedling.

"Potato?"

"Why, would it be potatoes?"

After this last thought flashed through his mind, he went straight to the underworld.

"Hey, why do you think this is necessary?" Liu Ji looked helplessly at the pile of separated bodies thrown into the pit by the Potato Boys, "A good businessman doesn't run away, he likes to block roads and rob."

"Ha, come on, it's no wonder that such a big caravan won't lose money if it runs to such a small village," Yayin curled her lips, "This kind of road is called merchant bandits, and they are essentially robbers. They only like to run like this small line,

They generally don't buy goods, they grab other people's goods on the road, and then use other people's goods to do business. "

"Huh? Is the robbery posture so unique?" Liu Ji was a little surprised, "Can't they collect tolls on the trade route?"

"With the Adventurer's Guild here, how can any robber dare to become a mountain king?" Yayin shrugged, "From the perspective of adventurers, these mountain kings are simply fixed bounties, right?

There are only these merchant bandits, because they do not commit crimes in the urban area, and they can keep the goods shipped out of the urban area from beginning to end, making it difficult to be discovered.

Usually, after the nearby adventurer guild reacts, they should run elsewhere. "

"That's right," Liu Ji touched his chin, "but if you are robbing someone on the road, wouldn't it be possible to hit a metal plate?"

"No, under normal circumstances, the only thing that merchant bandits will hit is other merchant bandits," Yayin shook her head. "The caravan has to consider the cost, how much goods and how many people to pledge, and they can judge whether they can eat it or not by looking at the scale. If they can eat, they are just passing caravans. If they can eat, they are highway robbers. It will be bad luck for them to encounter us."

"Well, that's it..." Liu Ji rubbed his chin.

He said that the caravans he saw in Mill City were all large caravans with hundreds of people. With these thieves around, the life of small traders would not be easy no matter how much they thought about it.

While Liu Ji and Ya Yin were talking, the strong man in black robe whom Liu Ji called "Yuan" came over.

He was the Dajian Tudou who was the first to grow up. After struggling for two days, Liu Ji finally named him "Liu Yiyuan".

But the name was a bit unsophisticated, and one dollar didn't sound any better than one dollar, so Liu Ji simply called him "yuan".

"Grandpa, there are a few women over there, are they going to be buried too?" Yuan said.

"Ah? A woman?" Liu Ji was stunned for a moment, "She came out to rob and brought her family with her?"

"Huh? What? Is there a girl with you?" Yayin frowned, "These people have always been just prostitutes without starting a family, right? Are the people here different?"

"Let's go and take a look," Liu Ji said in a mantra, and then said to Yuan in Chinese, "Let's go and take a look."

"Oh, this way," Yuan said, turning around to lead the way.

Liu Ji and Ya Yin followed him all the way to the rear, and finally stopped at the end of the convoy of merchants and bandits.

On the last three dragon carriages, a total of six cages were placed.

Four of the cages were empty, except for the last two cages. One contained a woman who looked about 30 years old, and the other contained two women who looked to be in their twenties.

Their eyes were covered with cloth strips, their feet were tied with heavy shackles, and their hands were tied together with ropes.

His body was surprisingly not dirty, his hair seemed to have been combed, and he was wearing a gray-white linen skirt.

"This is..." Liu Ji's brows suddenly wrinkled.

"Slave wives, tsk," Yayin said in an unhappy tone, "they are a common commodity in the goods of merchants and bandits."

Perhaps because they heard an unknown female voice, the three women immediately raised their heads and looked around, as if searching for the source of the sound.

"What do you mean, I'm going to help them untie them?" Liu Ji asked.

"No, let me do it," Yain said, lifting her hood, "Just open the door for me."

"Yeah, that's okay," Liu Ji agreed, walked to the cage where the woman was imprisoned, and with a wave of his hand, he knocked the top cover of the cage away, then pulled the cage door and opened the cage. The door was ripped off and thrown aside.

Then he went to the car behind and helped open another cage.

Yayin jumped on the dragon carriage and walked towards the tied woman.

The woman seemed to have been startled by the sound of Liu Ji violently opening the cage. At this moment, she heard someone jumping into the car again, and she quickly shrank back.

"Hey, don't be afraid, it's okay," Yayin said softly in common language and walked towards the woman softly.

The other party was startled by Ya Yin's voice at first, but when he heard the friendly female voice, he didn't seem to shrink back any more, but he still bit his lip and did not dare to speak.

Yayin gently helped her take off the cloth covering her eyes.

However, when she saw the woman's eyes, she was stunned.

Those eyes actually have white pupils and black whites!

In her memory, there is no race...

Do not!

and many more!

wrong!

a kind……

A race that has long been extinct on that side of the desert...

"You, are you from the Shangxiang clan?" Yayin said in astonishment.

"Huh? Huh?" The woman looked at Ya Yin, a little confused, "No, no, I am from the Baitong tribe. So, who are you?"

"Ah, oh, I'm sorry, we'll talk about this later," Yain shook her head, "I'll help you untie your shackles first..."

"No, no! Those shackles..." When the woman heard this, she was so frightened that her face suddenly changed, and she refused repeatedly.

However, Yayin smiled slightly, recited a brief incantation, hooked her right index finger, and the shackles on the woman's feet immediately untied themselves and floated to her hands.

"Oh, don't worry, this level of explosion trap is just for coaxing children," Yayin said, casually throwing the teaching test into the distant forest.

Not long after, a soft sound like a muffled fart came from over there.

"Well, look," Yayin said with a smile, "after all, these dog dealers are reluctant to let their goods really explode."

134. If the two-in-one had that ability, there would be many people in the world who wanted to be tyrants.

"Then, be careful on the road," Yayin waved to the three women.

The three women saluted Yayin, thanked her repeatedly, and then drove the dragon carriage towards Mir City.

"Huh... Is it true that they won't be robbed by bandits again on the road?" Liu Ji was still a little worried as he looked at the dragon carriage going away. "This road is not short."

"Usually not...but it depends on luck," Yayin said helplessly, "We can't possibly spend another two weeks sending them there, right?"

"But we can send them to the village?" Liu Ji asked doubtfully.

"No, they just came from the village," Yayin sighed.

"Huh?" Liu Ji frowned, "They were arrested... No, you mean, they were sold?"

"At least that's what they told me," Yayin said helplessly, "This kind of thing is very common in remote villages like this, but there is something strange about it..."

"Where?" Liu Ji asked.

"Age," Yayin said, "They are in the prime of life, and they are in good health. Even women can be self-reliant, and they don't look like they are suffering from famine. I really can't figure out why they were sold, or that , I can’t figure out who did this to sell them.”

"Didn't you ask them?" Liu Ji asked doubtfully.

"I asked, but they seemed unwilling to tell," Yayin shook her head and said, "Forget it, it doesn't matter. We'll find out when we ask around."

"Well, okay," Liu Ji nodded, then looked at the two carriages carrying cages, and murmured, "But are there so many cages to prevent problems before they happen? They have to be closed when they are full. There are quite a few people…”

"It may have been used to imprison livestock. Who knows," Yayin said, walking around the car while checking the goods inside, "Salt, iron, cloth, and the third child. The leather of these two carts should be from the inside. The pulled out and some marinated meat should also be purchased from the village, and they are not worth much..."

"But it can't be wasted. Let's take it to their village and sell it cheaply later," Liu Ji said, shouting at the potato boys and asking them to help unload the goods.

The queue for these dozen or so dragon carts is too long. After all, they are not really running business, and the things on the cart are not full. This group of people's fleet has room for "purchasing", plus they have just arrived. I have sold a batch of goods, and there is still room. With a little hesitation, it should not be difficult to control the dragon carriage to about seven.

As for the remaining earth dragons...

Although these guys said they really wanted to work, the dragon carts were a precious means of transportation in this area. It would be a waste if the pigs ate them. Yayin planned to use a little magic to let them return with the empty carts. Go to the inn in Mill City.

As for the issue of feeding the cubs meat.

With so much cured meat collected from the village on the bus, it was not appropriate for them to take it back to others, so they simply ate it directly to save space.

"Speaking of which, I'm used to eating big meat in Mill City..." Liu Ji looked at the marinated poultry bubbling in the pot and muttered, "Looking at this ordinary poultry now, it feels so small. ah."

"In a small village like this, it's good to rely on arrow towers and high walls to drive away monsters. Don't expect them to dare to hunt monsters." Yayin poured a bunch of washed mushrooms into the pot. Hunting a wild boar can keep a hunter happy for two months."

"That's it," Liu Ji stirred the broth with a spatula, "but don't I think their eyes are quite unique and they don't have any special abilities?"

"It's a pity, no, they just look very recognizable, because this has caused a lot of trouble for their race," Ayin sighed, "Because most outsiders feel uncomfortable looking at them, and their race I have always been relatively closed,

But as it happens, there are some guys with special quirks who particularly like their eyes, and people from their tribe don't like to go out. In some places, if a female slave of their race appears, they can always be sold for a very high price. "

"This... human trafficking is legal?" Liu Ji asked.

"Some areas are not, but there are always areas where it is," Yayin shrugged, "So, as long as you want to buy, there is always a way."

"That's right," Liu Ji sighed, "What happened next? It's impossible for human traffickers to unite and invade in order to capture people and destroy them, right?"

"Obviously it's impossible, but it's almost the same," Yayin said. "According to records, at a certain period of time, one of the largest human trading places set off a sales boom for the Shang Xiang Clan.

In order to 'buy goods', more and more merchant bandits began to sneak into the territory of the Shangxiang clan, arresting people everywhere, and even began to directly attack villages.

In order to deal with them, the Shangxiang Clan could only suppress the bandits while negotiating with the big country where the place of purchase was located, but with little success. The other party made it clear that they did not care about their life or death at all.
