With the help of the map, Chen Xiaobei headed west and found the Sky Demon Ruins at dawn the next day.
The Sky Demon Ruins were the ruins of the Ancient Demon Kingdom.
The Demon Kingdom was built underground and it was as big as ten planets.
On the ground, there were only endless desolate mountains.
There were tens of thousands of entrances around the mountains.
It was not hard to imagine that the number of people who went underground for thousands of years must be more than ten billion!
Other than the dead and injured, there were still hundreds of millions of people in the Demon Kingdom.
Among these people, there were members of powerful factions and adventurers. Of course, most of them were slaves who were captured to dig the core of the ruins.
"Let's go in and take a look!"
Chen Xiaobei picked the closest entrance and entered the Demon Kingdom.
It was daytime but the underground world was dark. It was even colder and more humid than the surface.
With the help of the light from his cellphone, Chen Xiaobei walked down the tunnel. After a few hundred meters underground, he finally saw the end of the tunnel.
"Oh god … This … This is the legendary Underground Demon Kingdom …"
Chen was used to seeing big scenes, but this time, the scene at the end of the tunnel shocked him to the core.
In front of him was a huge underground city!
It was at least a few thousand meters deep and there was no end to it.
There were dilapidated houses of different heights. Dim bonfires flickered in the dark.
Based on a rough estimation, there were at least tens of thousands of people living in this area.
However, this was just the tip of the iceberg of the Demon Kingdom.
How could Chen Xiaobei not be shocked when he thought about it?
It was early in the morning. People were coming out of the houses one after another.
These people were wearing ragged clothes and covered in mud. They were holding iron shovels in their hands. Clearly, they were slaves who were captured to dig the ruins.
Logically speaking, these people should be very strong because they had been doing physical labor all year round.
However, the reality was the opposite.
The Underground Demon Kingdom did not see the sun all year round. The slaves lived in the cold and humid environment. Most of them had skin diseases and eye problems.
Most importantly, the environment in the Demonic Land was special. It was very difficult to transport food and water. These slaves did not even have access to fresh food and clean water.
It was precisely because of this that practically all of them were withered like firewood, and their energy was dispirited.
But as slaves, they had no choice!
No matter how thin and weak they were, no matter how dispirited they were, as long as the bell rang every morning, they had to pick up their tools and start digging day after day.
"These people are quite pitiful …"
"I need to find the core of the ruin as soon as possible! Then, I can release them from this place!" said Chen Xiaobei, who was standing on a high spot.
"Du!!!"
Suddenly, the deafening sound of a horn came from the square in front of the residential area.
All the slaves quickened their pace and gathered there.
Men and women, young and old, all in all, there were more than fifty thousand people, filling up the square.
In front of the plaza, there was a tall platform.
On the stage, there was a group of armored warriors with axes in their hands.
Obviously, these warriors and slaves all belonged to a certain faction.
The duty of these warriors was to manage the slaves.
Bang!
In front of everyone, the leader of the warriors kicked a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy to the ground.
The youth looked thin and weak, but his physique was unexpectedly strong.
After being kicked by the warrior leader, the young man only fell down, but he was not injured. Moreover, he was still holding the two steamed buns in his hands and continued to wolf them down.
"Yuan Tuo! You son of a bitch! How dare you steal our food at night?!
Food and water are very precious in the Demonic Territory! Anyone who steals our food will be sentenced to death! "The leader of the warriors shouted at the young man.
"Hmm … You said it yourself … If I do the work of ten people every day, you will give me enough food for ten people …"
Young Yuan Tuo wolfed down his food as he protested, "I've already done the work of ten people for seven consecutive days, but you didn't give me any extra food … I'm not stealing, I'm just taking back what belongs to me!"
"Motherf * cker! How dare you talk back to me!
You are eating enough food for ten people! Are you trying to starve them to death?! "The leader of the warriors shouted angrily.
"You are the one who promised to give me enough food for ten people! It is your responsibility even if they starve to death!"
Yuan Tuo said seriously while chewing on the steamed bun. "Also, there are dried meat, Spiritual Fruits, and wine in your warehouse! Just take out a little bit and you will not starve them to death! "
"Of course!
The leader of the warriors shouted, "The food in the warehouse is for warriors! What right do you lowly slaves have to eat it! "
Yuan Tuo frowned and retorted, "I saw Young Master Xing Ren using dried meat for his pet dog yesterday! Are we worse than dogs? "
The leader of the warriors said disdainfully, "Hmph! You lowly slaves are ants in the ground, maggots in the gutter! Don't say that Young Master Xing Ren's dog is nobler than you! You can't even compare to a strand of dog fur! "
The moment he said that, the fifty thousand slaves around him looked sad. They looked sad and their hearts ached.
However, all fifty thousand of them swallowed their anger. No one dared to refute.
Only Yuan Tuo protested. "I am not convinced! Although I am a lowly slave, I am only taking back what I deserve. What is wrong with that?! "
"You are weak! That is wrong! "
The leader of the warriors raised his axe high and shouted, "Everyone, look carefully! Those who steal food will be sentenced to death! Those who contradict their superiors will be sentenced to death! Those who do not obey will be sentenced to death! Die!!! "
Swoosh!
Following the roar of the leader of the warriors, the gleaming axe was aimed at Yuan Tuo's head.
It was obvious that the leader of the warriors wanted to split Yuan Tuo in half and use the cruelest method to intimidate the fifty thousand slaves present.
Clang!
However, right at this moment, a sharp burst of true essence shot out from afar, directly bouncing off the battle axe of the warrior leader.
"Who is it?!"
The leader of the warriors was shocked. He gritted his teeth to stabilize the axe. It was obvious that the person's cultivation was very high.
In an instant, all fifty thousand pairs of eyes were focused on the person.
A young man dressed in black was walking over slowly and said indifferently, "This slave, I want him! Name your price! "
"We are not selling our slaves!"
The leader of the warriors shouted angrily, "This is the Vermillion Bird Wang family's territory. Although you are strong, you are not qualified to interfere in our affairs!"
"You are really not selling?"
The young man in black raised an eyebrow and said, "If you are not selling, I will rob you!"
