Ji Hao waved his hand and sent out a large number of cyan-colored daggers, cutting all reeds within the area of over a hundred square meters in radius.
The reeds fluttered in the air, and the wind blades turned into flexible and tough wind ropes, tightly binding the reeds together. With a gentle twist, the soft reeds were crushed into solid firewood sticks, and were placed neatly next to the bonfire.
Ji Zhuo and his friends' eyeballs nearly popped out of their sockets when they saw this. They had seen a lot of strong and muscular warriors wielding axes and machetes, but never had they seen such a skillful controlling magic.
Ji Hao's spirit power was powerful, and he could control the wind so well. Even among the master Magi of the Magi Palace, only a few of them were able to do this. In the eyes of Ji Zhuo and his friends, this made Ji Hao seem even more mysterious.
"So, you're all from the Gold Crow Clan." A few bonfires were lit on the sandy area, which had been cleaned up. Yu Mu had caught a large number of delicious river fishes from the river, and was grilling them on the bonfires, letting out a nice aroma.
The wine that Feng Xing had bought with his credit points was opened one after another. Ji Zhuo and his friends filled up the wine they had brought along with them, and started gulping them down, while passionately asking Ji Hao about the current situation of the Gold Crow Clan in the Southern Wasteland. When they heard that the Gold Crow Clan had been appreciated by Zhu Rong Tonggong and had been developing rapidly, they couldn't help but cheer out in a low voice.
Ji Zhuo and his friends were also from the Gold Crow Clan. However, they had never taken a single step into the Southern Wasteland.
There was wine, grilled meat, and a warm atmosphere. Ji Zhuo held Ji Hao's hand and told Ji Hao about his family background in detail.
Many years ago, those slave traders of the Blood Fang, led by some local Southern Wasteland clans, had launched a sneak attack on the clan of Ji Zhuo's ancestor. That clan, which had over ten-thousand people, had been destroyed by the Blood Fang before they could ask for help from the Gold Black Mountain.
The elderly people were all killed, and the young people and children were branded as slaves. They had been escorted by the Blood Fang all the way from the Southern Wasteland to the Midland, through innumerable hardships.
"My ancestor still remembers that more than a million clansmen of the Southern Wasteland were transported back that time." Ji Zhuo said blandly while gripping the wine utensil, "However, on their way to the Midland, they had experienced all kinds of great dangers in the void, and were attacked by void beasts. Only less than half of them managed to reach the Midland safely."
Tens of zhangs away, Yu Yu, who had been lying comfortably on the grass and snoring loudly, opened one of his eyes, threw a sideways glance at Ji Zhuo, then yawned towards the sky, lazily turned his back towards Ji Zhuo and Ji Zhuo, facing his back towards Ji Zhuo. He didn't know when, but there were two earplugs made of reed flowers in his ears, tightly blocking his ears.
Ji Hao let out a long sigh, filled Ji Mo's glass with wine again, then sighed and said, "The Blood Fang, those damn bastards... But, I've already avenged you and your brothers. The elite warriors of the Blood Fang, and the new leader of the Blood Fang, Di Luo, have all been killed by us. "
Ji Zhuo raised his eyebrows, threw a complicated glance at Ji Hao, then raised his wine container.
Ji Hao grinned and raised his bowl, slightly clinking Ji Zhuo's bowl, then both of them drank up the wine simultaneously. All warriors under Ji Zhuo's command cheered out together, and the atmosphere became even warmer. Quite a few warriors, who had been wounded by Feng Xing just now, came up to Feng Xing and started a drinking competition with him.
Even Yu Mu was surrounded by a group of people, who were excitedly asking him about how to grill the fish into a tastier and tastier fish.
Only Man Man, Taisi and Shaosi were guarding around the altar. Taisi had once again made a circle around the altar with beast bones, and intentionally incanted some made-up spells, causing a slight gust of cold wind to swirl around the altar.
Warriors under Ji Zhuo's command were quite sensible. Seeing that Taisi seemed to be in the middle of casting a spell, they didn't go over and disturb him. Therefore, the area around the three of them was completely clean, not a single person could be seen within the radius of tens of zhangs around them.
Ji Zhuo took a big gulp of wine, then lifted the long hair in front of his forehead, revealing a bone-deep slave brand.
"I'm a slave too. My Abba, Amma, my grandpa and the others were all born in a mine of the non-humankind. As soon as we could walk on the ground, we were branded with slave marks. As soon as we could grow a little bit stronger, we had to work in those dark mines. "
The mines of the non-humankind didn't have any sunlight, and the environment was extremely harsh. Not only were there all kinds of disasters happening in the mines, from time to time, some carnivorous beasts would come out from underground and attack them.
Ji Zhuo watched his family and friends die in those mines, one after another. He saw with his own eyes that a little girl, who had been a good friend of his since he was a little girl, was targeted by a Jia Clan's supervisor, who violently took away her chastity, and then took away her life.
Ji Zhuo told his own story in a very simple and straightforward way.
He pointed at those warriors, who had been gulping wine and eating meat, and said blandly, "They were also mine slaves, just like me. All of them have been branded with slave marks of the non-humankind. "
Ji Zhuo had tried to escape from those mines for quite a few times, but every time, he would be caught back by the non-humankind's army. Every time, he would be beaten badly, then sent to work in those mines, which were even crueler and harsher. However, every time, Ji Zhuo survived the most horrible mine disasters and the most brutal beast attacks, and his power had been improved bit by bit, while the Gold Crow bloodline inside his body had been activated bit by bit.
Among the mine slaves, the knowledge that came from their ancestors had been passed down orally from generation to generation. With the help of a little bit of knowledge, Ji Zhuo had actually awakened his Magus Acupoints, and became a Senior Magus in that cruel environment.
Once again, he instigated those mine slaves to escape. He led over ten thousand mine slaves and started a riot, killed a large number of non-humankind's foremen, and killed the Jia Clan's foreman, who had humiliated his lover back then.
Coincidentally, a raiding troop organized by Si Wen Ming, which specialized in raiding non-humankind's mines launched an attack. With the cooperation of both inside and outside, Ji Zhuo and his warriors thoroughly destroyed that large-scale mine, killed a great number of non-humankind beings, and saved a large number of mine slaves.
After that, Ji Zhuo and some of his brothers joined the standing army of the humankind in the Chi Ban Mountain area, and joined the dare-to-die battalions to fight against the non-humankind.
"I want to go back to the Southern Wasteland as well. I want to bring the ashes of my Abba and Amma back to the Gold Black Mountain and bury them. That is the wish of all our mine slaves, generation after generation. We all want to go back to our ancestral land one day, and merge our souls with the souls of our ancestors." Ji Zhuo raised his wine mug, emptied it, and said blandly, "But, we don't have the face to go back."
Ji Zhuo pointed at the slave mark on his forehead and said in a cold tone, "Before we kill enough non-humankind beings, before we make enough contributions to wash off our shame, we don't have the face to go back."
"Therefore, we are fighting against the non-humankind in the Chi Ban Mountain area with our lives!"
Letting out a heavy breath, Ji Zhuo continued in a low voice, "It's so great to see our brothers in the Chi Ban Mountain area."
