Chapter 663
Slave owner Ji Hei said the names of Zhao Fangji and Jiang Mingtian, which made Li Yi sure that he hadn't made the trip in vain.
Li Yi then asked: "Are they both still alive?"
"Still alive," slave owner Ji Hei said: "But the rules of the Chishan Mountain Lord cannot be violated. If Dayi wants to rescue them both, you must be prepared to offend the Chishan Mountain Lord."
Li Yi said: "Don't worry, I don't fear the Chishan Mountain Lord. Can you take me to find my two friends?"
Slave owner Ji Hei looked around, then said: "There are too many people accompanying you. I can only take you alone. Any more, and I won't be able to cover it up."
Li Yi immediately said: "Good, just me."
Then he looked at the others: "Everyone, please wait in the city. I will go for a trip with this slave owner."
"Be careful, Dayi," Sage Nanshan Bo said, stroking his beard.
"I am going to trade, Dayi, no need to worry about me," Merchant Lord Nv Heng said with a smile, then rode her Shanyi into Chishan City.
"Master, if there is a battle, you can call me," Long Yu said earnestly. He didn't enter the city with Qiu Niu either, just waiting in a corner outside the city.
Seeing this, Li Yi didn't say much and walked toward the huge mountain that appeared red-gold with the slave owner named Ji Hei.
And as Ji Hei, who sold slaves into the mountain all year round, he was very familiar with the situation here.
The warriors guarding the mountain didn't even question them, just treating Li Yi as Ji Hei's guard, and they naturally passed through layers of defense, arriving at the foot of the mountain that produced purple gold.
There were many slaves working here, holding bronze hammers, smashing rocks, and digging for red gold. Whenever someone wasn't working hard, there were supervisors holding whips woven from animal skin, whipping these slaves fiercely.
Slaves who were whipped would immediately have their skin torn and flesh exposed, blood flowing, wailing in pain on the ground.
And because of the red gold, the mountain here was hot all year round. Every slave was black and thin; only the supervisors and the warriors guarding the mountain appeared strong and powerful. Therefore, whether you were a slave or not could be seen at a glance.
This was also why no slave could escape from Chishan.
"Ji Hei, didn't you send a batch of slaves a few days ago? Why come again today?" A warrior chief noticed Li Yi beside Ji Hei and found that this Li Yi was a rare Divine Blood direct descendant warrior.
The silver lightning marks on his body were particularly eye-catching, like a totem.
This anomaly made the warrior chief unable to help but question him.
After all, the strength of a Divine Blood warrior was very powerful. If he wanted to do something, it was difficult for anyone to stop him.
Slave owner Ji Hei's eyes turned and he said: "This is the Divine Blood warrior Dayi from Shenmu City. He wants to follow me into Chishan to look for traces of the Divine Blood. Can you let us in?"
"Here to look for the Divine Blood again?" The warrior chief dispelled his doubts and couldn't help but laugh: "There is only red gold here, no Divine Blood. I'm afraid he will make the trip in vain."
"The place that can gestate red gold is rumored to be the blood of the gods. If you bathe in the Divine Blood, you can possess a physique comparable to the gods," slave owner Ji Hei grinned and said: "This legend alone is enough to make all Divine Blood warriors crazy."
"It is said that the Mountain Lord also looked for the Divine Blood, didn't he?"
The warrior chief's eyes moved, and he said with a smile: "Every Divine Blood warrior who comes here thinks he is the favorite of heaven and can find the legendary Divine Blood. Since that is the case, I won't stop you. But what kind of reward can you pay this time?"
He looked at Li Yi as he said this.
Obviously, such things hadn't happened for the first time. Slave owner Ji Hei had brought other Divine Blood warriors into Chishan to look for the Divine Blood before.
So Li Yi was not the first, nor would he be the last.
It was precisely because there was such a perfect reason that slave owner Ji Hei had the confidence to bring Li Yi in. If others accompanied him, it would definitely arouse suspicion.
Li Yi said: "I don't know what kind of reward you want?"
The warrior chief circled around Li Yi. He reached out and knocked on the Red Chi Chi Yu Zi Jin Armor on Li Yi's body, then grinned and said: "I want the armor on your body. If you are willing to give it to me, I can let you enter Chishan and give you a chance to look for the legendary Divine Blood."
There weren't many things that could move a warrior chief, but the Red Chi Chi Yu Zi Jin Armor on Li Yi's body was incomparably exquisite; it was the most beautiful armor he had ever seen and was worth collecting.
And he could feel that this armor wasn't just good-looking, but also possessed extraordinary power.
"Good, I will give this armor to you." Li Yi's expression was calm; he directly took off the Red Chi Chi Yu Zi Jin Armor on his body and handed it to the warrior chief.
The warrior chief was very happy after receiving it. He touched the precious armor, unable to put it down.
"Now we can enter the mountain, right?" Slave owner Ji Hei said.
The warrior chief's eyes looked at Li Yi again, seemingly looking for other benefits, but Li Yi only had the Five Elements Bracelet in his hand besides this Red Chi Chi Yu Zi Jin Armor.
A five-colored bracelet; as a warrior, he wasn't interested at all.
Li Yi frowned. He felt that this warrior chief didn't want to let him go and still wanted to scrape benefits from him. In the Wild World, this behavior was disgusting because he didn't keep his promise.
Seeing that there was really nothing good on Li Yi, the warrior chief said: "You go in, but you must come out before the sun sets, otherwise you will have to stay in the mountain forever and become a slave."
Slave owner Ji Hei was somewhat surprised: "This is different from what was agreed before. The Divine Blood warrior I brought last time was able to stay in the mountain for half a year."
"If you want to stay for more days, you can pay more," the warrior chief said heavily.
He obviously said this for Li Yi to hear.
If Li Yi wanted to enter the mountain and stay longer, one Red Chi Chi Yu Zi Jin Armor couldn't satisfy this warrior chief's appetite.
"I will come out before sunset." But Li Yi didn't pay more, just agreed to this harsh requirement.
Seeing this, the warrior chief stared at Li Yi: "Although you are a Divine Blood warrior, this is the territory of a Lord. Do not try to provoke the majesty of a Lord, otherwise, you will die here."
Obviously, this warrior chief wasn't just a greedy person. He felt a killing intent from Li Yi's flat tone, so he immediately issued a serious warning.
Li Yi glanced at him and didn't say much, just walked toward the mountain in front of him with big strides.
Slave owner Ji Hei didn't dare to get involved in such a disaster either, only hoping to complete the promise to Xiu Xiang as soon as possible and help this Dayi find his companions.
After the two walked far away, Ji Hei lowered his voice and reminded: "Dayi, that warrior chief felt your threat, so he kept provoking you, hoping you couldn't help but take action. In that case, he could mobilize the warriors guarding the mountain to deal with you. He is a very shrewd person. You must be careful. Fortunately, you endured it, otherwise, it would have been dangerous just now."
"I saw it," Li Yi said.
It seems that the people in this world are not all muscular men; there are also some people with delicate minds.
There was a reason why that warrior chief could become the manager here.
And without the obstruction of this warrior chief, the road ahead was smooth. The nearby supervisors didn't care when they saw Li Yi and slave owner Ji Hei. They were only interested in those black and thin slaves. As long as they weren't slaves, they wouldn't look twice.
Unless Li Yi made trouble here.
The slaves swung their hammers to smash the rocks and dig for red gold.
Li Yi saw a huge rock smashed open by a tall slave. Gravel flew, and a piece of red gold the size of a face appeared. If this piece of red gold was cut, it would be worth at least ten thousand gold.
And as soon as the red gold appeared, other weaker slaves walked over, picked it up, and put it in a basket to carry to a special place to concentrate.
Li Yi looked in the direction where those slaves were transporting the red gold.
There was a warehouse built of stone there.
Presumably, it was piled with priceless red gold inside.
"Really want to snatch it," Li Yi secretly thought.
The inherently evil nature of Earthlings appeared again inadvertently.
It was just like how everyone passing by a bank where money is stored would have similar thoughts.
"Dayi, the person you are looking for is not here, but in the depths of the mountain," slave owner Ji Hei seemed to see through Li Yi's thoughts and immediately reminded him, taking him away from here.
After all, seeing so much red gold, no one would not be moved.
Following the slave owner's direction.
Li Yi saw a mine tunnel leading to the depths of the mountain.
Many slaves went in and out along that mine tunnel, and the baskets on their backs contained not only red gold but also blue gold, fine jade, and other treasures.
