"Come and take a look, Luo. This is a velvet quilt produced by Tianhu Castle. It is very light, but it is absolutely warm when you cover yourself with it. It is such a blessing to have a quilt like this in winter."
"Everyone, look over here. We sell all kinds of gold-inlaid utensils. Each piece is a work of art. The gold we use is pure gold. If it's fake, we will compensate you tenfold. If it's fake, we will compensate you tenfold."
"Do you want to be more beautiful? Do you want your man to be devoted to you? Then you have to look at my skirt..."
In the market, people were coming and going, selling all kinds of things. There were many "specialties" from other fortresses, which really opened Tianyang's eyes.
But as Longdan and Moonlight said, such a market is not supervised by a fortress, so many darker things are sold here.
Tianyang saw a dozen girls aged 14 or 15 tied with iron chains and locked on the stage, showing them to customers like poultry. The slave traders worked hard to promote how good these girls were, thus stimulating the customers below, most of whom were men.
Some guests who were moved by what they heard would go on stage to check the slaves they liked. The gentle ones would just check if the slaves were sick, especially with skin diseases. The rough ones would directly knead some private parts of the girls and show a disgusting smile.
When seeing this scene, Tianyang's expression turned gloomy, and murderous intent was already surging in his eyes as he looked at the slave trader.
"Don't worry about it."
Moonlight pulled him back: "It's useless. Those who are on the stage are just small characters. Behind them are large organizations like Blood City. If we don't destroy the organizations behind them, or change the world."
"Otherwise, this kind of thing will never stop. You can save these girls, but you can't save all the slaves."
Tian Yang nodded, and then walked towards the slave platform: "But at least I can save them. There should be work for them in the caravan."
Moonlight was stunned for a moment, then said, "This guy really didn't come from the wilderness."
Long Dan said with a smile: "Tian Yang is really free to do whatever he wants. He kills people when he wants to and saves people when he wants to. I envy him a little bit."
Moonlight glanced at him and said, "You are past the age of being willful, right?"
Longdan shouted, "What do you mean? Am I really that old? You're only a few years younger than me. Why are you so proud...ah."
He screamed because the moonlight stepped on his foot.
At this time, a big man with a face full of flesh picked up a girl with long cherry-colored hair and pressed her face, forcing her to open her mouth so that the big man could check her teeth.
Seeing the girl's neat white teeth, the big man laughed dryly and stretched out his hand to grab the girl's young breasts. Suddenly his hand was caught, and the big man turned around and saw a young man with silver hair looking at him.
"Get lost, kid. I was the one who spotted this girl first." The big man looked the young man up and down and grinned, "If you don't let go, I'll break your hands and sell you to some rich old women! I think they'll like you."
Tian Yang did not get angry but laughed instead. He turned his hand and the big man's arm immediately twisted like a pretzel, his muscles were torn and his bones were shattered. Finally, the big man screamed and turned in the air, and was kicked off the stage by Tian Yang at random.
Tianyang drew his Ice Soul Blade and swept it across, breaking the chains on the girls. The sword energy swept across the platform, scaring several men who were "inspecting the goods" so much that they rolled and jumped off the platform.
The slave trader frowned and winked, and someone hurried into a tent. The slave trader came over and said with a smile on his face, "Little brother, what are you doing? This is not good."
Tianyang took out a gold bar and threw it on the ground casually: "I bought all these girls."
The slave trader was stunned for a moment, then saw someone coming out of the tent. He calmed down a little, put away his smile, and said coldly: "Boy, I don't blame you for not knowing the rules. Now I tell you, each person can only buy one slave, and you can only pick the one you like to take away."
Since they dare to sell slaves in such a place, how could they not be prepared? When more than a dozen men rushed up like wolves and tigers, the slave trader was even more arrogant: "I say, you only have one gold bar, which is not enough to buy a slave. Leave all the money you have, otherwise, you will only become a commodity."
Tianyang laughed and pointed his Ice Soul Blade at the men. At this time, someone in the tent shouted "Wait a minute", but Tianyang had already sent out a stream of cold air, whistling past the men, and immediately a dozen ice sculptures appeared on the scene.
Tian Yang pointed the Ice Soul Blade in his hand at the tent again and said in a low voice: "Don't come out. If you dare to come out, you will bear the consequences at your own risk."
What are the consequences.
The dozen or so ice sculptures on the field are the consequences.
The voice in the tent sighed and dared not leave the tent, which frightened the slave trader. The man inside was his biggest support when he walked around the wilderness, but even he was suppressed by the silver-haired young man and could not raise his head. The slave trader realized that he had hit a wall.
Tianyang then turned around and walked past the gold bar. He stomped his feet lightly and the gold bar jumped into his hand.
He walked up to the slave trader, grabbed him with one hand, and stuffed the gold bar into his mouth, causing his mouth to be full of blood and several teeth to fall out.
Tian Yang smiled and said, "Now, can you make an exception for me?"
The slave trader nodded quickly.
Tian Yang then threw him off the stage and turned to the girls and said, "Follow me."
These girls woke up from their dreams, they were happy but also worried. They were happy that they had finally escaped the clutches of the slave traders, but they were also worried about what Tianyang would do to them.
A girl with short black hair rushed over, hugged Tianyang's legs and begged, "Sir, please save my sister."
Tian Yang was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at the slave trader: "She has a younger sister?"
The slave trader took out the blood-stained gold bar and said incoherently: "She has a twin sister, but she was bought before you came."
Tian Yang pulled the black-haired girl up, pulled out a gun from the slave trader's waist, and stuffed it into the girl's hand: "I can only help you up to this point."
Ignoring no further, Tian Yang led the other girls off the stage.
The black-haired girl stared at the gun in her hand in a daze, suddenly made up her mind, jumped off the platform, and rushed into the crowd.
Seeing Tianyang leading a dozen disheveled girls towards them, Yueguang shook her head and said to Sunsun, "Take these children back to the caravan and settle them down first. We can deal with the rest after we get back. Liu Ya, Fatty, you two should go back too so that we can take care of them."
Tianyang had no objection to Yueguang's arrangement and let Sun Sun and the others take the girls away.
Moonlight then glared at Tianyang and said, "You have a lot of money, right? You just throw out a gold bar. Do you know that with one gold bar, you can buy at least thirty or fifty girls like this."
Tianyang was shocked: "So many?"
Longdan smiled bitterly and sighed, "You will never know how many people in the wilderness cannot afford to eat, and how many people in the settlements are willing to sell their children to slave traders just to exchange for food for ten days or half a month."
"If it wasn't a girl, regardless of gender or health, one gold bar could buy hundreds of slaves."
“This is the wilderness.”
Hearing this, Tianyang's mood became heavy.
Moonlight glanced at him and said, "You'd better be prepared. This phenomenon will become more serious the further west you go."
"In the Central Continent and the Eastern Continent, the former is mostly plains with fertile land. As long as you don't run into any evil spirits, you can grow some crops and survive."
"The latter has been in rapid development for the past one or two hundred years, and needs a lot of manpower. Even if they cannot join the fortress as residents, the fortress will hire people from the settlement to do various jobs. As long as they are willing to work, they will rarely go hungry."
"At most, the quality of food, hygiene and medical care cannot be compared with those of the residents of the fortress. At the same time, life cannot be guaranteed."
"But whether in the Central Continent or the Eastern Continent, the people in the wilderness are much happier than those in the Western Continent. After experiencing two wars with alien gods, the Western Continent can be said to be riddled with holes, and the habitable area is much smaller than before. Except for a few fortresses, the conditions of other fortresses are quite bad, which has caused a large number of refugees to flock to the wilderness."
"So in the Western Continent, the living conditions of the people in the wilderness are much worse than those in the other two continents. Once there, your gold bar can buy dozens of young ladies, or even hundreds of young and strong laborers."
Tianyang was stunned. He didn't expect that the situation in Xilu was so serious.
"Let's go, we'll take a walk and then go back." said Moonlight.
They were walking around the market casually. Suddenly, Tianyang stopped and pointed at a red tent in front of them with Yueguang in his hand: "Look, does it look familiar?"
The moonlight followed the direction of Tianyang's finger and fell on the tent. Then a sixty-year-old man was seen coming out of the tent. He was dressed in ordinary clothes and greeted passers-by with a smile.
"The Immortal Merchant?"
Moonlight exclaimed softly, "He came here to do business?"
Tianyang whispered, "Let's not go this way."
Moonlight nodded in agreement, and the three of them changed direction. When they passed a navy blue tent, a man of middle-sized build came out from inside and suddenly exclaimed.
“Gentian, isn’t this Gentian?”
Long Dan heard the sound and looked over, and also shouted: "He Fei, you are not dead yet?"
The man called He Fei immediately started to curse: "Damn it, I was just about to say that, I heard from Father Mo that you were missing, and I thought you were finally dead."
The two greeted each other with all kinds of swear words in the wilderness, but then they hugged each other with laughter, which made Yue Guang shake her head: "Men..."
