Chapter 644: Shanguo reduced to a slave

Li Yi didn't expect that one move to save someone would harvest fifteen pieces of red gold and also earn an exotic beast. It seems that as long as the strength is strong enough, no matter which world it is, making money is a very simple thing.

However, in order to keep a low profile, he left this market immediately after collecting the gold, avoiding the trouble caused by being in the limelight. After all, he came to the Savage World to safely pass his transformation period and didn't want to move his hands too much with others.

Fortunately.

The market in North Wasteland City is very large. Even if the market in this area was affected, the slave market was not affected.

Because there are the most powerful warriors in the slave market, and the guards around every slave trader are very powerful. After all, only enough strength can suppress those slaves with ulterior motives.

And the exotic beast Qiuniu also felt the powerful aura here, so it was not stupid enough to run to this side, so it was also for a reason that this place was spared.

Arriving at the slave market.

Li Yi heard many slave traders discussing the previous matter.

"Those merchants are really incompetent, they couldn't even deal with a fire beast, causing such a big destruction."

"Haha, those merchants who sell meat are unlucky this time, it is estimated that they will lose a lot of goods."

"That fire beast is very intelligent, it didn't dare to run to our side, otherwise my hungry slaves could have eaten that fire beast alive."

These slave traders were all gloating.

It seems that no matter what world it is, there is never a shortage of people who eat melons and watch the fun.

They clearly also had the strength to stop the fire beast, but they didn't choose to help, and even hoped that the fire beast would make a bigger movement.

"God-Blood Warrior, and the God-Blood concentration is very high, close to a direct descendant?"

"Silver lightning? That should be the descendant of the god in the valley outside North Wasteland City. There was a Mount Shoushan Village that had been guarding that valley, but Mount Shoushan Village encountered a disaster last year and no longer exists."

"A God-Blood Warrior who controls lightning, has great potential, and may become a master of a region in the future."

When Li Yi appeared in the slave market, many slave traders immediately sized up Li Yi. It must be said that their vision was very poisonous. They saw Li Yi's God-Blood at a glance, and even guessed where the descendant of the god was.

More experienced slave traders saw Li Yi's infinite potential and felt that he could become a master of a region in the future.

And after sizing up Li Yi, they sized up E-Ji and Su-Ji behind him.

"Those are two maidens, should be from the Changshan Tribe, were sold by the slave trader Yaotu to the merchant Xiu Xiang of North Wasteland City, so this God-Blood Warrior is a distinguished guest of the merchant Xiu Xiang?"

"Yesterday night, a battle between God-Blood Warriors occurred in a place in North Wasteland City, and one of the God-Blood strange phenomena was very similar to this person."

What surprised Li Yi was that he only walked half a circle in the slave market with E-Ji and Su-Ji, and his information and the information of the two maidens had already been inquired about.

It is even known which tribe

In reality, slaves sold between slave traders all have their own unique marks; only those in this line of work can recognize them. Furthermore, Eji and Suji are two pieces of high-quality goods, worth at least two hundred gold.

Slave traders have long had an impression of such high-quality goods.

Only worthless trash slaves are unrecognizable, because they have no value and aren't even worth the slave trader's attention.

"Guest, take a look at my goods, top-quality slaves."

A slave trader smiled and greeted him at this moment, then gestured for Li Yi to look at the slaves in his hands.

Li Yi glanced at them.

He saw that this slave trader indeed had quite a few slaves by his side, including strong warriors, women with quite a bit of charm, and even some from other races.

The Savage World is not just inhabited by the human race; other races exist, such as the Merman tribe, the Ape tribe, and the Winged tribe. Some slaves from these other races have immense value, while others are very cheap, but not everyone buying slaves in North Desolate City is knowledgeable enough to recognize them.

Therefore, many slave traders will pass off worthless members of other races as excellent slaves, selling them as high-quality goods.

Thus, buying slaves also requires rich experience to avoid being cheated.

"Your slaves' strength is too poor; they aren't high-quality goods." Li Yi withdrew his gaze after looking them over, then shook his head, refusing the slave trader's sales pitch.

However, those slaves revealed expectant gazes as they looked at Li Yi.

Because Li Yi is a God-Blood warrior.

Following a God-Blood warrior, the future is at least full of hope. If bought by some lady or old man in the city, one would only be able to do odd jobs for a lifetime, and even the children you give birth to later would have to continue inheriting your work, being slaves for life.

But Li Yi's single sentence extinguished their expectations.

Just as Li Yi said, these slaves' strength was very weak, not enough to catch his eye.

Even though some female slaves had quite a bit of charm, seeing the two beauties Eji and Suji by Li Yi's side, they could only lower their gaze.

However, the rejected slave trader was not annoyed; he just watched Li Yi leave with a smile on his face, then continued to solicit other business.

But one sentence from this slave trader sparked some thoughts in Li Yi.

Perhaps he could also buy a few slaves in this world, get a house, and have a place to stay.

Although mooching off the Xiu family for free food and drink is a good thing, it is ultimately somewhat inconvenient for his cultivation.

With this thought, Li Yi began to pay attention to some of the slaves in the slave market.

He didn't need to pick out warriors with immense strength; he only needed to pick out young warriors with great potential, because he could guide them in the path of cultivation. With the resources of this world, it wouldn't take long for them to grow to a sufficient height.

However, just as Li Yi was intending to pick out slaves.

Suddenly.

He stopped his footsteps and saw a group of slaves wearing animal skins and dressed in rags. Among this group of slaves, there was a woman who looked familiar. Li Yi possesses the ability of photographic memory, so he quickly recalled the identity of this woman.

"The female warrior from Guard Mountain Village, Shanguo."

When Li Yi spoke the identity of this female slave.

Shanguo, who was mingling among the other slaves, covered in wounds and dressed in rags, suddenly raised her head. A trace of surprise appeared in her eyes; she seemed not to have expected that there would still be someone in North Desolate City who could recognize her.

But when Shanguo saw Li Yi, she appeared extremely shocked.

Subsequently, Shanguo's eyes flickered, and she quickly lowered her head.

At this moment, she felt only shame and anger.

The former captive is now a powerful God-Blood warrior, while she, a warrior of Guard Mountain Village, has already become a slave.

"Guest, these are all ordinary slaves; I have other better goods here." The slave trader saw him walk out and said with a smile.

Li Yi pointed at Shanguo and said: "I want that female slave; how much gold?"

The slave trader looked in the direction Li Yi pointed and laughed: "That is a female slave who is hard to tame. For this reason, I often whip her, and now her body is very weak. But she is a warrior, so she can only be sold at the lowest warrior price. Many guests think it's expensive; if you want her, guest, I'll only charge ten gold."

"Good." Li Yi immediately handed over ten pieces of green gold.

Green gold is bronze with a flowing luster; one hundred pieces of green gold are worth one piece of red gold. In this world, the "gold" people speak of usually refers to green gold, not red gold. Red gold is precious, so only wealthy merchants use it.

The slave trader accepted the gold and immediately had his servants drive Shanguo out from among the slaves, then untied the ropes and handed her to Li Yi.

"Guest, if this slave refuses to acknowledge a master, you can return her." The slave trader then added.

Clearly, he didn't want to sell a slave who couldn't be tamed and ruin his reputation.

Li Yi turned his head to look at Shanguo and said: "Are you willing to acknowledge me as your master?"

"Just kill me." Shanguo said with a bit of shame and anger.

She felt that Li Yi buying her was not to save her, but just to humiliate her, so she would rather die early than be bought back by Li Yi to be humiliated.

However, Shanguo's words annoyed the slave trader. The slave trader stared fixedly at Shanguo, and subconsciously reached for the leather whip from his servant.

But he didn't forget the rules.

Li Yi had already paid the gold, and now he had no right to discipline this slave.

But he could still manage to scare her.

Sure enough, seeing the slave trader's appearance, Shanguo instinctively shrank her body, and a bit of fear appeared in her eyes.

Clearly, she had suffered no small amount at the hands of this slave trader.

Li Yi said calmly: "Your Guard Mountain Village no longer exists, and the past grievances have all passed. If you continue to stay here, you will die soon. If you are unwilling to acknowledge me as your master, you can leave. It's just that if you are caught as a slave again next time, perhaps you won't be so lucky as to meet me."

He wasn't being kind-hearted; he was just feeling a bit emotional seeing that Guard Mountain Village had been destroyed and the people in the village had all become slaves.

After all, buying Shanguo was very cheap.

Shanguo looked at Li Yi in disbelief.

She thought Li Yi would humiliate her; she never expected he would be willing to set her free.

At this moment, Shanguo was instead at a loss for what to do.

She wasn't afraid of being humiliated; at worst, it was just death.

But Li Yi had given her, this former enemy, freedom. This was a great favor that must be repaid.

But at this moment, Li Yi had already turned and left with Eji and Suji. Before leaving, he said to the slave trader: "She has already been bought by me; let her choose for herself."

"What a lucky slave." The slave trader sighed with emotion; he rarely saw anyone give a slave freedom after buying them.

But Shanguo did not leave.

Because Li Yi was right; Guard Mountain Village no longer existed, and the past hatred had disappeared with the village's disappearance. She was no longer a warrior of Guard Mountain Village, just a female slave.

And Guard Mountain Village had already betrayed the gods once.

Could it be that she had to betray them a second time?

Shanguo looked at Li Yi's departing back. After a brief hesitation, she immediately gritted her teeth, braced her injured body, and quickly chased after him.

She was a descendant of the people of Guard Mountain Village; her ancestor's wish was to follow the descendant of that god buried in the valley.

She should follow the guidance of her bloodline and survive once again on this ancient land.

Thinking of this.

Her hesitant heart gradually became determined, and her footsteps became faster and faster.

Finally, Shanguo caught up to Li Yi.

"Master, take me with you. I am willing to follow you, even to pay with my life for it; this is my promise." She lowered her stubborn head, and at the same time, she accepted her new identity.

In this world, once a promise is made, it cannot be broken.

As for why there is such a rule, Li Yi doesn't know either; he can only say that every world has its own characteristics.

If people on Earth made a promise, it would be as good as a fart; Li Yi wouldn't believe a single punctuation mark of it.

However, he believes the people of the Savage World when they make a promise and are willing to acknowledge him as their master. After all, Shanguo could have completely left here just now; there was no need to follow him, her enemy.
