The demon soldiers screamed miserably and fell in a pool of blood.
The three demon soldiers who had looked ferocious just now died in front of him in the blink of an eye. Hu Datou thought he was seeing things. He rubbed his eyes desperately, making sure that everything he saw was real.
He was surprised at first that the demon soldier who threatened him was dead, but he was also frightened by the way the demon soldier died. He screamed in fear, louder than the demon soldier's scream.
He first ran wildly for a distance, then suddenly stopped and looked at the three demon soldiers dead in the snow in horror. After watching for a while, he bravely walked back and confirmed that the demon soldiers were dead.
Hu Datou fell to his knees on the snow, looking towards the open space and the sky with surprise, "Who, who is it? Is it an immortal? Have you finally come to save us?"
"Thank you for saving our lives, Immortal. We have been hoping that you would come and save us."
Jiang Yuxin saw Hu Datou worshiping the sky with a pious look from the defensive space formation, and she couldn't help laughing out loud.
Although the defensive space array can block the sight of outsiders, it is not a completely closed space, and the sound came out from the defensive space array.
Hearing the laughter, Hu Datou became even more certain that the person who saved him was an invisible immortal.
"Thank you for saving my life, old immortal."
Ye Feng didn't want to come out at first, but when he saw that he kept saying that it was an immortal who saved him, he also had some doubts about the situation in the demon world and wanted to find someone to ask. After all, the other party was a human being, so he walked out of the defensive space formation.
"Your name is Hu Datou?"
Suddenly, he heard a voice behind him calling his name. Although Hu Datou was a brave man, he was so scared that his face turned pale.
He turned around and saw Ye Feng. How come there was suddenly a person in this empty ice field
Looking at Ye Feng wearing shiny winter clothes and looking radiant, Hu Datou showed an envious look.
Could this young man be an immortal? Judging from his clothes, he is definitely not a human living in the abandoned city.
"You, you are an immortal?"
Ye Feng smiled and said, "I am not an immortal. I am a human being just like you."
After hearing Ye Feng admit that he was a human and that he couldn't see anything special about Ye Feng, Hu Datou finally felt relieved.
"You are also a human. You scared me to death. I thought you were an immortal."
"Why do you think I'm an immortal?"
Hu Datou glanced at Ye Feng in confusion, and his eyes gradually turned contemptuous: "Seeing that you are dressed so brightly, you must be a slave of some noble family. I have seen many people like you, and I have nothing to say to you."
Hu Datou came to the demon soldier, touched inside the demon soldier's armor, and showed a look of surprise.
He took out a small silk bag inlaid with gold thread from the armor of the demon soldier. A jingling sound came from inside. He opened the small cloth bag and took out a few glittering gold coins.
"Haha, I've made a fortune this time. I can have a nice meal in Ice and Snow City tonight."
Ye Feng walked over curiously. It seemed that gold coins were the currency circulating in the demon world.
Seeing Ye Feng looking at him, Hu Datou showed a look of disgust: "Boy, you are dressed so well, you don't want to share the money with me, right? Tell me, you, Hu Datou, are famous for being stingy in the abandoned city. These people were killed by the immortals because they were chasing me. Don't think about sharing a piece of the pie with me. You have no share of this money."
Ye Feng said politely: "Don't worry, I won't ask you for a penny. I just want to learn about the situation in Ice and Snow City from you."
Hearing that Ye Feng would not share the money with him, Hu Datou's expression improved a lot.
Hu Datou continued to dig around on the corpses of the demon soldiers and touched a dozen gold coins. He excitedly jumped on the snow, a dance that looked a bit wanton.
He touched a sled driven by a demon soldier and said to himself excitedly, "I thought I was going to become a slave, but I didn't expect to make a small fortune."
"Congratulations, Brother Hu."
He glanced at Ye Feng with contempt: "You want to know about the situation in Ice and Snow City, but you are not a local?"
"I'm not. I'm from far away."
Hu Datou looked relieved and looked at Ye Feng: "That makes sense. I have lived in the abandoned city for decades and have never seen you. Which noble family are you a servant of? The Jiang family in the east? The Nangong family in the south? Or the Zuo family in the west? What are you doing in our north?"
"Why must I be a noble's slave? Can't I be a free man?"
After hearing what Ye Feng said, Hu Datou's eyes were unpredictable, showing suspicion, envy, and hatred.
"Impossible. In this continent, the Demon Nine Realms is the most hostile to humans. Unless you get a pardon from a noble lord, you will never be free. At most, you are a fugitive like me. Show me your pardon."
Ye Feng shook his head: "I don't have any pardon order."
Hu Datou laughed triumphantly, "Boy, I thought I had really made a mistake. It turns out that you are a fugitive like me, without a pardon order. Haha, since you don't want to be a house slave, you should be low-key. Otherwise, if you meet the demon soldiers, they will capture you as a slave without hesitation. You are looking for death by wearing such good clothes."
"Are humans really that miserable that they can't even dress nicely?"
"Boy, how did you survive so long? Without a pardon, you must keep a low profile. Otherwise, if you are seen by the demons, they will kill you as a thief. Although we are strangers, as human beings, I advise you to change into the same ragged clothes as me, so that you have a better chance of survival."
From Hu Datou’s horrified eyes, Ye Feng seemed to see the miserable state of the human race in the demon world.
In the Nine Demonic Realms, humans either became slaves or fugitives, and they were not even allowed to dress too fancy.
Otherwise, without a pardon from the demon nobles, he would be considered a thief.
Hu Datou got on a sled and was about to leave, but he looked back at Ye Feng and hesitated.
He said to Ye Feng unhappily, "Get on the sled and follow me. Follow me to the abandoned city. Otherwise, when the patrolling soldiers come, you won't be able to escape."
"Abandoned city? Where is it?"
"It's more than fifty miles from here. It's an abandoned demon city. Many of us live there."
"Why don't you go to Ice City?"
"Ice and Snow City? That's the city of the demons. We humans have no right to live there. We would rather live a worse life than become slaves of the demons."
"Then take me to the abandoned city. I have some family members who want to go with me."
