Huang Xiao himself was just a follower of an aristocratic family's young master. His aptitude was not high, and his Cultivation was not high either. He did not dare to venture into the depths of the boneyard himself. Hence, he simply holed up and became a local tyrant in the cellar of the desolate people in the ruins.
The boneyard was filled with danger everywhere. Wanting to find living resources was seriously too difficult. The physique of the desolate people was different. They could eat some strange bugs to allay their hunger. When there was really nothing to eat, they would not starve to death even if they did not eat for a few months. But Huang Xiao as a martial artist, in a place like the boneyard without heaven and earth essence energy, if he still did not eat, he would starve to death.
When he finished all the food reserves on him, he started to eat people. Hence, he started to train some of the younger girls among the desolate people to go out and seduce explorers. Some of those explorers fell for it because they were kind-hearted. But most of them fell for the trap because of some ulterior motives.
The desolate people did not dare to eat human flesh. Only Huang Xiao ate it alone. At the same time, he would also eat some of the various foods obtained from the explorers' bodies. Especially things like crystals, which were very precious. Not only could it be used to cultivate in an environment without heaven and earth essence energy, but it could also be used to activate the Spirit Severing Array.
After a long time, Huang Xiao came up with another method. Which was to use a small amount of crystals to maintain the Spirit Severing Array within a small area of the cellar. If a martial artist suddenly attacked the cellar, that would absolutely be a one-way trip.
Just like this, in 300 years' time, the number of desolate people became lesser and lesser due to starvation, injuries, and various other reasons. Each time the Graveyard of the Dragon opened, there would be a large number of explorers entering the boneyard. And Huang Xiao, by brutally killing explorers, ate their hearts while they were hot, and preserved the remaining meat as reserve rations. Using the accumulated resources to slowly increase his Cultivation, he lived for over 300 years and was still healthy. If not for Du Feng breaking his plan today, this situation might continue to be maintained.
"Hiss …"
After hearing the entire story, Du Feng also sucked in a cold breath, his back slightly feeling a chill. That fellow who was knocked unconscious by him was actually so terrifying. Luckily, his aptitude was too poor. He did not train much in 300 years. If such a person were to become a master, all the explorers would be in trouble.
Those adjudicators always talked about upholding justice and defined seven crimes for martial artists: greed, lust, gluttony, envy, sloth, arrogance, and rage. Thinking about these seven crimes, none of them actually deserved death. On the other hand, these murderous and cannibalistic demons should have been executed a long time ago. Why didn't they, the Adjudicators, come and punish them? They were just a bunch of bastards who carried out evil deeds under the banner of justice.
When Du Feng lowered his head to look at Huang Xiao, he had already been beaten to death by the Desolate Men. It didn't matter if this kind of evil person died. At least the desolate people didn't have to listen to his orders and do things that went against their will. Especially for girls like Xiao Ling, she no longer had to sell her body.
"Lord God, can you really let us have food to eat?"
Du Feng looked at the Desolate Men kneeling on the ground and felt that it was not a solution for them to continue like this. If they didn't rob the explorers of their resources, they wouldn't have anything to eat in the future. Just relying on those strange insects that they occasionally dug up, their bodies were all cuticles and only had a bit of internal organs that could be eaten. It couldn't solve the problem at all.
"There is a way, but it will take some time."
Du Feng had already thought it through. He didn't need to bring Xiao Ling to the Skeleton Underground Palace. He might as well wait for him to retrieve the things from the Skeleton Underground Palace and bring the Desolate Men out of the Boneyard. Whether it was the Death Tornado or the beast tide and insect tide, they weren't things that the Desolate Men could face. But as long as he was here, all problems could be solved.
As long as they left the Boneyard, there were many mountains and forests outside. Just find a place to set up camp, eat wild fruits, hunt wild rabbits, or go to the river to catch some fish. It was much better than digging for insects to eat here. Furthermore, the environment outside had Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi. Maybe the Desolate Men could also cultivate combat skills. This was already the foundation of their physical fitness. If coupled with the coordination of combat skills, their strength would be rather terrifying.
"Rumble!"
Everyone was really chatting enthusiastically when the cellar suddenly shook.
"Lord, it's not good. A group of explorers came outside."
A Desolate Man took a look from the observation window and immediately came back to report. This group of explorers were obviously not so obedient. They couldn't find anything good in the ruins, so they used all kinds of destructive combat skills, planning to raze this place to the ground. If they were allowed to continue destroying like this, the place that the Desolate Men used to hide would be destroyed.
Although the ruins of the ancient city couldn't be used for living, it still had a certain effect on blocking the wind and sand. It could also conceal the existence of the cellar to prevent them from being discovered. Usually, the explorers would leave if they couldn't find anything. Why were the people who came this time so deranged, wanting to destroy a bunch of broken walls?
"Senior-apprentice Brother Lin, why did we destroy these broken walls, let's quickly go to the Skeleton Underground Palace."
"Don't be anxious, look around a bit more. Your Senior-apprentice Brother He is right. It's easier to hide treasures in places like this."
Snow Mountain Sect's Ice Peak Team and Qingyang Sect's Azure Dragon Team worked together. Because they didn't encounter the Death Tornado, they took a different route, so they quickly arrived at the ruins. On the other hand, Murong Mansha and the Black Tortoise Team who entered first did not pass by the ruins, so they didn't meet Du Feng.
"Don't be nervous, I'll handle it!"
Previously, Huang Xiao was an Array Master, and now, Du Feng was an Array Master, and a genius Array Master. He was now in the cellar, which was the location of the Array Eye. Entering the room that the Leopard Cat stayed in, he saw the groove to place the crystals.
This Spirit Extinguishing Array Formation still had a conscience. It could be activated using white crystals, but the range of suppression would be a little smaller. Now that the two teams were in the ruins above the cellar, after Du Feng placed the crystals, the Ancient Spirit Extinguishing Array was immediately activated.
"Oh no!"
"Oh no, we seem to have triggered a restriction!"
The Ice Peak Team and the Azure Dragon Team didn't know that they had fallen into an Ancient Array, and they thought that the wanton destruction just now had triggered some restriction. After all, this was the Burial Ground, and anything dangerous could happen.
"I told you not to destroy here, now we're in trouble."
Du Xue rolled her eyes at Lin Pinggang, very dissatisfied with this team leader. What's wrong with Senior-apprentice Brother Lin? Why does he always listen to He Jiangtao from the Qingyang Sect? How could the real treasures be here, couldn't they go to the Skeleton Underground Palace to explore?
"It's okay, this restriction must have a range, we just need to walk out."
