A few days later.

Fox Jiaojiao followed the wolf beastmen on the journey, and the team finally stopped.

Ever since Lang Shuo got fooled once, he believed that she was a cunning female with many tricks, and kept Fox Jiaojiao by his side all the time.

Fox Jiaojiao and Lang Shuo were at the front of the team. When they went up the mountain, they saw a gate that looked like a bandit village. There were several wolf beastmen standing at the gate, and there were more than a dozen beastmen patrolling inside and outside.

On both sides of the gate were walls about three meters high, which were as black as the gate.

It was already dark at this time, and the gate and the wall almost blended into the night, as if they were connected to the dark horizon, appearing even taller, like an insurmountable barrier.

Fox Jiaojiao's inquiring eyes fell on the gate. It looked like it was built of black stone, but it felt something was wrong.

Seeing Lang Shuo coming back, the Canglang guarding the gate excitedly went in to pass on the message:

"The leader is back!"

The loud voice spread all over Cangfengling, and Canglang beastmen came out to greet him. One after another, the heroic Canglang appeared in Fox Jiaojiao's sight.

Countless pairs of green eyes, coupled with the excited wolf howls one after another, Fox Jiaojiao really felt that she had entered a wolf's den.

Seeing Hu Jiaojiao covering her ears, looking shocked by the scene, Lang Shuo curled his lips in contempt and waved his hand, saying,

"Alright, all of you go down."

Lang Shuo gave the order, and the Canglang beastmen stopped howling instantly.

As the number one lackey, Lang Mie naturally took on the task of clearing the passage, and went forward to drive away the group of obstructive Canglangs to make way for Lang Shuo.

At the end of the team, Huang Yue tied her hands to the vines, and the other end of the vines was bitten by the last Canglang beastman in the team. She was dragged all the way back and was almost tortured to pieces.

Seeing that they finally arrived at the tribe, her consciousness that she had been holding on to finally couldn't support it, and she closed her heavy eyelids.

Before she fainted, the corners of her mouth, which had been frozen and cracked, twitched, revealing a relieved smile.

"I'm back alive again. I can see Tian'er. It's great..."

A young Canglang beastman next to her found that Huang Yue had fainted, and bumped Canglang's elbow and asked:

"She fainted, what should we do? Should we tell the leader?"

"What are you looking for? This is your first time going out with us, right? Send her directly to the witch doctor. Don't let her die, otherwise you will be the next one to be tortured."

Canglang raised his chin, and it was obvious that the young Canglang was inexperienced.

When the young Canglang heard this, his face turned pale, and he hurriedly carried Huang Yue to find the witch doctor.

...

Hu Jiaojiao sat on the back of a Canglang and followed Lang Shuo into the tribe.

Behind the gate was a stone road about four or five meters wide. On both sides of the road, there was a black pillar every ten meters or so.

On top of it was a large black basin, with flames constantly dancing in the basin, as if dancing with other flames on the roadside.

It was the first time that Fox Jiaojiao had seen such a bright night in the Beast World.

She looked at the black pillars on the roadside curiously, and muttered to herself: "This should be made of the same material as the gate and the wall just now..."

Could it be that all the stones in this tribe are black?

Fox Jiaojiao was puzzled, and suddenly a thought flashed through her mind, so fast that it disappeared before she could catch it in time.

While she was thinking, a group of beastmen suddenly came in front of her.

A clanking sound like the collision of iron chains attracted Fox Jiaojiao's attention.

She looked up and saw that the beastmen were only wearing thin, tattered animal skins, and were carrying large black stones on their backs, which weighed them down. Every step they took, their feet sank deeply into the snow.

It was as if there was a quagmire under their feet, and every step was very difficult.

Foxy's eyes froze, and she stared at the feet of the beastmen without blinking.

She saw that each beastman's foot was locked with a black iron chain, and the clanking sound just now came from these beastmen.

Foxy suddenly understood something.

It turned out that the gate and the wall were built not with stone, but iron!

This tribe actually has iron mines!

Not only that, they also figured out how to refine and use iron ore. Fox Jiaojiao finally understood what the Cang Wolf beastman had said. The reason why

these Cang Wolf beastmen could control more slaves than them was because of iron ore.

I'm afraid they attacked the tribe so much and captured males as slaves just to make slaves work for them.

"Hurry up, what are you dawdling about! You can't even move a stone. Do you want to eat tomorrow?"

The Cang Wolf beastman's scolding brought Fox Jiaojiao back to her senses.

She looked in the direction of the sound and saw Canglang, the leader of the beast slave team, holding an iron chain and swearing at a teenage beast slave.

One end of the iron chain was black and red, which was the dried blood left by years of whipping the beast slaves.

Seeing the actions of Canglang, the foxy girl frowned unconsciously. The little beast slave was skinny and thin. Although he wore an extra beast skin coat than the others, his face was pale and he was obviously sick.

This whip could cost his life.

Just as the iron chain was about to fall on the little beast slave, a naked upper body beast slave suddenly rushed over and blocked the iron chain for him with his back.

With a "bang", the iron chain drew a bloody mark on the beast slave's back.

"Brother Manzi, are you okay?" The little beast slave's face turned pale, and he threw down the ore in his hand and nervously grabbed his arm.

"It's okay, you go to the back, I'll take care of it here." The beast slave called Manzi calmly pushed the little beast slave to the back of the team and turned to face the leader Canglang.

"Boy, you are meddling in other people's business again." The leader Canglang looked unhappy.

"I'll help him move his stones, and you can come to me if you want to vent your anger." Manzi looked at the leader Canglang with a firm face.

"Okay! You like to help, right? From today on, you will move two... oh no, three people's worth of stuff. If you don't finish, you won't be allowed to eat!"

The team leader Canglang snorted coldly, retracted the iron chain, glanced at the barbarian's naked upper body, and said sarcastically:

"You want to be a hero, right? If you give the beast skin to this kid, I won't give you any more beast skins. I wonder who will die of illness first, or you will freeze to death first."

Manzi ignored him, turned around and carried the ore of the little beast slave piece by piece, and continued to move forward with the team.

The team did not stop and soon passed by the beast slave.

Listening to the words of the leader Canglang, she turned around and looked at the beaten beast slave with a deep look, and then looked at the little beast slave. She saw that the beast skin he was wearing was large and tattered, which should have been given to him by the naked beast slave.

Her eyes flickered, as if she was thinking about something.

When Lang Shuo saw her looking back at the beast slave, he thought she was frightened by the scene just now, and chuckled:

"As long as you give me what I want, I will naturally not let your people suffer such treatment."
