The drizzle was hazy. The broad plain in the south of Liang Zhu City was already covered in waist-deep green grasses, dotted with different sized mushrooms. Wild flowers bloomed uncontrollably on the grassland, and as far as the eye could reach, one could see colorful wildflowers.
Many marmots, groundhogs, and other small animals appeared in the grass. Nests after nests of rabbits appeared out of nowhere. The skinny rabbits were frantically gnawing on the young grass to replenish the nutrients they had consumed in the past few years.
Similarly, the skinny wolf pack shuttled through the grass like ghosts. Occasionally, sharp cries could be heard. That was the sound of unlucky little animals being encircled and killed by the wolf pack. A faint smell of blood wafted through the air. Occasionally, a satisfied wild wolf would let out a long howl.
A troop of metal plates slowly hovered in the air, tens of meters above the ground. A troop of dark-kind slave warriors and a few Xiu Clan scholars formed this daily patrol troop. Dark-kind slave warriors vigilantly observed the surrounding area, while Xiu Clan scholars recorded their new discoveries with papers and pencils.
"The life-force of this world is way too strong. After such a flood, it's only been a few days, but the life-force of this world has almost recovered completely. "
"A strong life-force means inexhaustible resources. This world is the richest one among all the worlds we have ever conquered. I even suspect that the original power of this world might be even stronger than our hometown … "
"Shut up! Don't you dare say such disgraceful words! Supreme Creator Pan Yu, the three suns and nine moons are your eyes. Under your infinite light, we will conquer everything! "
The few Xiu Clan scholars discussed in low voices. Abruptly, a dark-kind slave warrior yelled out, "Look, a troop is coming from the south! Eh? Which slave-hunting troop is this? So lucky! Didn't they encounter our main force in Chi Ban Mountain? They weren't recruited into the main force! "
Another dark-kind slave warrior threw a glance at his companion in disdain and said, "You're so stupid. Since they're slave-hunting troops, how could they possibly pass through the main channel in Chi Ban Mountain? They must have used the secret channel in Chi Ban Market … Hehe, as long as they avoid the main force, those outer patrols are easy to deal with, as long as … "
This dark-kind slave warrior skillfully rubbed his three fingers and made a gesture of counting jade coins.
The tens of metal plates slowly descended and floated in the air, less than six feet above the ground. Dark electric bolts sparkled under the metal plates, covering the grasses down below with a faint layer of electric bolts. Along with a series of popping noise, dazzling electric bolts sparkled in the grasses.
In the thick grass, a dozen or so rings with a diameter of ten feet appeared, and the long grass inside all fell to the ground at an angle.
A long troop walked over, with tens of flags fluttering in the wind. A few dark-kind slave warriors murmured in a low voice, "Glowing Gold Chamber of Commerce, Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce, Scrupulous Gold Chamber of Commerce … Ah, it's actually their slave-hunting army! I'm really lucky today. "
A troop of Yu Clan nobles mounted on tall and sturdy four-horned white deer rushed over. Seeing this patrol troop, these Yu Clan nobles glanced at each other, then a Jia Clan warrior walked over with big steps.
"Hmm, didn't you see anything today?" The Jia Clan warrior puffed out his chest and stared at the dark-kind slave warriors on the metal plates. In Yu Dynasty, Jia Clan nobles were warriors, and their social status was way higher than dark-kind slave warriors.
The group of dark-kind warriors humbly bowed and said, "Lord, we didn't see anything today."
The few Xiu Clan scholars calmly stood on the metal plates, curiously looking at those human slaves in the slave-hunting troop.
A Xiu Clan scholar abruptly laughed and said, "You're really unlucky. Now, almost all nobles have gone to the south to prepare for an all-out war against the humankind. Liang Zhu City is empty now. You can't sell so many slaves back for a high price."
Another Xiu Clan scholar sighed and said, "You can only keep them in the slave camp, and the food cost will be a fortune."
Another Xiu Clan scholar abruptly pointed at a fat man in the troop and exclaimed, "Look, this is a horizontal olive pit … Oh my, such a fat slave? What do you expect him to do? "
In the crowd, Yu Mu, who was a little taller than ordinary people and had a bulging waist, showed the whites of his eyes. He patted his belly, then bared his teeth and growled at the few Xiu Clan scholars.
Feng Xing stood beside Yu Mu. He was tall and slim, half a head shorter than Yu Mu. He looked like a round bun with a toothpick beside it. Therefore, the few noisy Xiu Clan scholars didn't even notice him. Feng Xing poked Yu Mu's waist with his finger. Hearing him, Yu Mu snorted, pointed at the few Xiu Clan scholars, and said proudly, "I'm the best cook in our clan … I'm best at grilling Xiu Clan kidneys!"
The looks of the few Xiu Clan scholars changed instantly. Seeing Yu Mu, who was so fat, and hearing such a cruel word, they subconsciously covered their own waists with their hands, showed their teeth, and snorted at the Jia Clan warrior in front of them, "Did you bring a cannibal chef back?"
The Jia Clan warrior's face darkened a bit. Dark-kind slave warriors were all respectful to him, daring not to say anything to embarrass him, but these Xiu Clan people … Xiu Clan scholars and craftsmen had special positions in Yu Dynasty. They were also high-status nobles, and an ordinary Jia Clan warrior was usually not as high as these Xiu Clan people who worked in an official organization of Yu Dynasty.
With a darkened face, the Jia Clan warrior took out a leather bag from his sleeve and said in a deep voice, "You didn't see anything today, did you? Hehe, hehe, I just saw this fall out of your sleeves … I saw it clearly, it fell out of your sleeves! "
A Xiu Clan scholar took over the heavy leather bag and opened it.
Inside the human-head-sized leather bag was half a bag of raw gemstones that hadn't been polished yet. Thumb-sized emeralds, pigeon-egg-sized rubies, hazelnut-sized sapphires, and even two egg-sized, perfect diamonds!
"Eh, nice harvest?" The Xiu Clan scholar took out a handful of raw gemstones from the bag and gave them to a dark-kind slave warrior behind him. All the other dark-kind slave warriors laughed out loud. Surely, this handful of raw gemstones belonged to them.
"Very nice, we broke a medium-sized clan. They have three rivers in their territory, and in each river is a gemstone mine." The Jia Clan warrior said with a muffled voice, "Shame, we didn't have much time. We ran away before we got much."
Pausing for a second, the Jia Clan warrior asked, "How's Liang Zhu City recently?"
The Xiu Clan scholar put the leather bag into his sleeve, grinned and responded, "No war happened in Liang Zhu City. It's peaceful and quiet … I suggest you go through the ninth gate in the southwest. It's close to the great library, with fewer patrols there."
The Jia Clan warrior nodded seriously, then walked back to the troop with big steps.
