Blue, Red and White Dark Abyss Cauldron

Chapter 68 The Knife is as Cold as Ice

The three of them had no choice but to look at Xuan Youzhu, hoping that he could explain something.

Xuan Youzhu shook his head repeatedly and said, "I don't understand this. I only heard that if ordinary people open the Force, they will have the strength of giant elephants and bears, and the speed of monkeys and eagles... I can't tell you the details."

Chu Xiaomu and the other two were amazed. They didn't expect that such a magical thing would happen in the East Continent.

As they were talking, several warriors with swords finished their meal and came to the cart where the slaves were held. Seeing that some of the slaves were crying due to illness, some were groaning due to hunger, and some were whispering, they drew their swords viciously and scraped the backs of the swords against the iron cage, making a clanging sound.

A warrior shouted, "What are you arguing about? Don't you want to live?!"

Another warrior looked at the slaves in the cages one by one and said with a smile, "I think they don't want to live, but they don't want to live too happily."

Another person said with a look of disdain on his face: "That's perfect. These people are born to be worthless. When they arrive in our Jinyang City, they will suffer a lot. They will cry for their parents! Haha..."

After the warriors threatened, there was a burst of laughter, and those who were crying heard it and cried even louder.

An old woman with gray hair cried and begged, "Please let me go. I am too old to be a slave. Just let me beg."

Immediately, more than a dozen people began to beg, some said: "General, please give us some food, even if it's just vegetable soup... If we don't eat, we will starve to death."

Some said, "The child has been hit by the frost and is dying. Please give him some medicine to save his life."

There was a lot of noise for a while, and more than a dozen cars were filled with the sound of people asking the military commander to show mercy.

Chu Xiaomu looked at Xuanying in the cage and saw that he was still huddled in a corner of the car with his eyes closed as if he was taking a nap, and he didn't care about the noise outside.

The warrior-looking man was annoyed. He pulled out his sword with a clang and slammed the back of the sword against the iron cage, cursing loudly, "If you keep making noise, I'll pull out two of you and kill the sacrificial spirits!"

All the slaves were trembling and too frightened to make a sound. Instead, a child of about six or seven years old started crying even louder, and the sound was particularly piercing.

The warrior was extremely angry. He rushed over with a knife in his hand, took out the key, opened the iron cage, and pulled the child out.

A thin and withered woman beside the child cried and clasped the child's clothes tightly with both hands. But she was a thin and small woman, how could she snatch the fierce warrior with a face full of flesh?

The leader pulled both of them out of the cage with great force. He then kicked the woman to the ground, lifted the child up high with his left hand, and put a knife on the child's head with his right hand, threatening to chop him, "Little bastard, if you cry again, I'll chop you!"

The child was so frightened that his face turned pale. After crying twice, he suddenly stopped making any sound. However, his mouth was still open as if he was howling. For some reason, he suddenly lost his voice.

The woman got up from the ground like crazy and pounced on the vicious leader who was holding the child in one hand and a big knife in the other.

All the slaves were terrified, and the timid ones were trembling with fear, turning their heads away and not daring to watch the bloody scene that was to follow.

Chu Xiaomu was extremely anxious and wished he could summon up a thousand pounds of strength to break the iron cage and stop the warrior from killing people.

Suddenly, a delicate shout was heard: "Pang Shisan, what are you doing? Stop it!" It turned out that the young lady was the one who stopped him.

The warrior named Pang Shisan turned around and said, "My lord, these slaves are very noisy. We have to kill one or two of them before they will obey."

The girl frowned and said, "Although they are all slaves, I bought them to Jinyang City and they will be of great use to me. Did I tell you to kill them at will?"

Pang Shisan bowed and said, "My young master, these slaves may seem obedient, but if you don't give them a little power, some of them will always like to cause trouble, and they may rebel."

The girl angrily said: "I just ask you, did I ask you to kill someone?!"

Pang Shisan was startled and stammered, "No...no..."

The old man surnamed Chang bowed slightly and said, "This is your first time buying a slave, so you may not know much."

"What don't I know? Master Chang, please tell me."

"Some slaves look honest and weak, but you must not be fooled by their appearance. We don't know who they are, so we have to be careful and watch out for them."

"I have listened to you and locked them in iron cages, locked their feet with chains, and only allowed them to eat one meal a day, as long as they don't starve to death. Isn't that enough to be cautious?"

The old man surnamed Chang lowered his voice and said, "These are certainly enough to deal with ordinary people. I am just afraid that there are extremely brave people among them. It is hard to say that some of them have opened the force or cultivated spiritual power."

"What's the big deal? With Master Chang here, why would you be afraid of that kind of person?"

"This... this... There are so many talented people in this world, I can't guarantee everything. Besides, there are so many of them, if one of them can hold me back, it will be difficult..."

"You can't just kill people casually!"

"Usually, the Second Young Master brought them to Xihai City to buy slaves. I heard that for those slaves who are disobedient or like to make trouble, the power of life and death can be easily dealt with. The slaves are afraid and dare not make trouble easily. This is called killing one to warn the hundred, sacrificing the small to gain the big. Pang Shisan has worked for the Second Young Master several times, so..."

"It would be fine if you didn't mention my second brother, but look at what he's become now!"

The old man surnamed Chang stood with his hands hanging down, not daring to say anything.

The girl said in a clear voice: "Everyone listen carefully. From now on, when buying and selling slaves, if there are troublemakers, they can be punished lightly or severely, depending on the severity of the incident, but they cannot be killed without my permission. I bought these slaves with real money. If one of them dies during the journey, I will deduct one gold from your monthly salary. If two people die, I will deduct two golds... until all the money is deducted."

Pang Shisan was very unhappy, but he still wanted to argue: "What if..."

The girl waved her hand to interrupt him and said, "Don't worry! If anything goes wrong on the road, I, Jin Lier, will take full responsibility!" After leaving the tavern, she called for a man to bring a horse over, jumped on it lightly, and shouted to the warriors to escort the carriage and continue on their journey.

Xuan Youzhu stroked his beard and said, "This girl is called Jin Li'er. She has a kind heart. There are still many good people in the world."

Huai Xiaomeng was slapped twice by Jin Lier at the behest of the old man surnamed Chang, and he had been holding a grudge against him. He said, "These people say one thing and do another. What good things do they have?"

Yang Dou also said: "If they lock us up in cages like animals and don't even give us a bite to eat, and they are considered good people, then there are no bad people in the world."

Chu Xiaomu felt mixed emotions and didn't know what to say.
