Chapter 60 Slaves
Mu Jiao had originally planned to abandon this big devil once they were out of danger, but now it turns out that he had been awake the whole time.
And from what this big devil said, it seemed that her choice just now had actually saved herself. Mu Jiao felt like crying but had no tears.
…
Swamp area
Dustless Star
At this moment, Mu Jiao was held by Yin Jiuyuan's shoulders with one hand and was controlled by his side. She was forced to follow his footsteps.
Hey, what the hell is this place?!
Mu Jiao has been in the interstellar space for many years, but this is the first time she has seen a planet with such a harsh living environment.
Looking up at the sky above from afar, outside the transparent protective cover, the sky is now full of yellow sand, blocking out the sun, and you can faintly hear the sound of the howling wind outside.
This clearly showed how severe the weather conditions outside the shield were. Fortunately, they had run fast and caught up with the shield just before it closed. The Great Demon had paid two intermediate energy stones, allowing them to enter the city without incident. Otherwise, they would have been left outside the city to endure the wind and sand.
The harsh environment is one thing, but the people here seem even more terrifying than the outside world. The cost of two intermediate energy stones to enter the city is quite steep.
(One high-level energy stone = 100 intermediate energy stones
One intermediate energy stone = 100 low-level energy stones)
Energy stones are very precious things in Mu Jiao's view. The Federation and the Empire each have their own exclusive currency. A low-level energy stone requires 500 federal coins, and an intermediate energy stone requires 10,000 federal coins. The monthly salary of ordinary people in the Federation is 10,000 federal coins, so they spent two months' salary of ordinary people just to enter the city.
The city is not big, it is more like a bustling town than a city. As soon as you enter the city, you will see a main street with people coming and going, which looks prosperous.
But what did Mu Jiao see as she walked along? Stalls selling human beings lined the streets, revealing women, elderly people emaciated by starvation, and children. Beyond that, there were groups of three or five young men, armed and fierce-looking...
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, Mu Jiao would have found it hard to imagine that humans had become so powerful that they dominated the interstellar space, yet here were still starving, skinny people, women who lived on their bodies? And even people who trafficked in people... Mu Jiao surveyed her surroundings, feeling incredibly shocked.
"What kind of place is this? Why are all of them..." Mu Jiao was so shocked that she could only ask the big devil beside her.
"Don't be surprised, little one. This is the swamp. How does it feel to be in this abandoned place for the first time?"
"Swamp?" Mu Jiao was puzzled.
…
"Damn that little bastard! He actually dared to run! Hurry up and hold him down! I'll show you how I'm going to punish him!!!"
Mu Jiao was about to continue asking when she heard fierce shouts not far away, and then saw a disheveled man running towards them quickly. He met countless people along the way, and then in a blink of an eye, the man was caught up by several strong men behind him and pressed right in front of her. On the rough brick and stone ground, the man kept struggling, and his head almost touched Mu Jiao's toes.
"Ah!!" The sudden fright made Mu Jiao cry out softly. She was walking well, but suddenly someone fell in front of her. In order to avoid him, Mu Jiao subconsciously took a step back, but she didn't stand firmly. Fortunately, Yin Jiuyuan had been holding her and steadying her body, otherwise she would have fallen.
I almost stepped on the man's head just now.
After Yin Jiuyuan embraced Mu Jiao, he pursed his thin lips slightly, and was very displeased with the people standing in front of him.
"Hey, were you two scared by that little bastard? I'm so sorry, so sorry. I'll definitely teach that little bastard a lesson and vent your anger. I'm so sorry!"
The voice that was fierce just now suddenly became extremely flattering, which made Mu Jiao feel extremely uncomfortable.
The person who spoke was a middle-aged man with a big belly. He was very perceptive. After catching up with them, he seemed to realize that Yin Jiuyuan was not someone to be trifled with. He made a strange salute to Yin Jiuyuan very respectfully, and then apologized repeatedly. This was not enough. He waved the whip in his hand in front of them, as if he really wanted to teach the man a lesson on behalf of Yin Jiuyuan, but Mu Jiao felt that he was actually venting his anger for himself.
"You little bastard, you're so rebellious! How dare you run away? I tell you, it's your blessing that Master Yang likes you. Now you dare to offend such an important person. I think you deserve to be punished!!" The man cursed and beat the girl.
"Pa, pa..." After a few whips, Mu Jiao only saw a pool of blood on the back of the man on the ground.
Because the man was making so much noise, a crowd quickly gathered around him. Unfortunately, they were all there to watch the fun, and some of the people who were stirring up trouble seemed to have some deep hatred for the man being beaten. Some even clapped excitedly, saying things like "beat him hard!"
Mu Jiao felt that her three views were shattered.
"Stop!!!" Seeing the man on the ground covered in blood, Mu Jiao shuddered. She couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so she shouted loudly to stop him.
Mu Jiao shouted with almost all her might, and she suddenly stood out among the cheers.
The middle-aged man who had been beating the victim was stunned for a moment after hearing this. He glanced at Yin Jiuyuan and Mu Jiao, and paused for the time being out of courtesy. However, he approached Yin Jiuyuan with a wretched look on his face and said to them, "You two, are you relieved? If you are, I will bring this little beast back and teach him a lesson. I won't offend you. Is that okay?"
"Do you want to teach him a lesson?" Mu Jiao asked in surprise, looking at the half-dead man who had been pulled up.
"Sir, this seems to be your first time here. You don't know that this slave dared to escape, which is a big taboo here. Naturally, he must be taught a lesson." The middle-aged man replied as a matter of course.
"Please do as you please." Yin Jiuyuan didn't want to argue any further, so he made way for Mu Jiao and was about to leave.
But he was gently pulled by the little thing in front of him, and then he heard the little guy's "big words".
"You said he was a slave, how much would he sell for? I'll buy it."
"If you want to buy a slave, why not come to my shop and choose one? This little beast is unruly and I'm afraid he won't be worthy of your attention."
When the middle-aged man heard that Mu Jiao wanted to buy a slave, his eyes lit up instantly and he introduced her to Mu Jiao in a more flattering manner.
"I want him. How much do you think he's worth?" Luckily, the demon hadn't taken her space button. Mu Jiao calculated that her space button contained several boxes of high-level energy stones given to her by her brother Qi. These energy stones had originally been used for the small flying car, but now, unexpectedly, they had become a usable currency here. Prices seemed quite high here. I wondered how much this slave would cost?
"Sir, it's not that I don't want to sell it, it's just that this slave has been ordered by someone else." The middle-aged man seemed to be very afraid of the big devil. He spoke carefully to Mu Jiao and looked at Yin Jiuyuan from time to time.
"Then I'll pay double what he offers." Mu Jiao looked at the skinny man who was being pinned down and struggling feebly. He was covered in blood and looked like a skeleton. She thought it was fate that she met him today, so she decided to save him. Otherwise, he would definitely beat her up again when she got back.
