Chapter 231

On the mountain road leading to Shanzhi City, a team of Demon soldiers was struggling to walk against the wind.

Walking at the front was a Demon head named Aivaldo.

Aivaldo had been out with his subordinates for five days and hadn't caught a single human captive.

He had to catch human captives within seven days, otherwise, no one could bear the anger of the Demon Lord.

"Damn weather! Damn humans!"

Aivaldo thought while pulling his collar and cursing softly.

Walking to a leeward place, Demon Aivaldo stopped with his soldiers.

He took off the face towel on his face and slapped it hard.

A thin layer of ice was frozen on the face towel, making his breathing extremely unsmooth.

Just at this time, human voices came faintly in the wind.

Aivaldo raised his head and looked ahead.

In his field of vision, a team of Demon soldiers was escorting several human captives and walking toward them.

"Damn it, these guys are so lucky!"

Aivaldo cursed softly, with an envious look on his face.

In a moment, that team had arrived in front of him.

The leader was a short Demon head with a pair of sharp eyes like an eagle.

Seeing Aivaldo, the Demon head stopped.

He took two cigars out of his arms, put one in his mouth, and handed one to Aivaldo.

"Buddy, do you have a light? Borrow a light."

The Demon head asked Aivaldo.

Aivaldo took the cigar and found that it was actually a top-grade ancient land cigar.

"Damn it, this guy is really extravagant. This kind of ancient land cigar, there are only five in a box, and a box costs 100 low-grade Demon stones."

Aivaldo calculated in his heart while taking out the copper lighter from his arms.

Lighting the cigar, Aivaldo took a deep puff.

The strong smoke stimulated his lungs, making him feel as if he had gained a lot of strength out of thin air.

"Good cigar!"

Aivaldo praised.

The Demon head opposite nodded, with a happy smile on his face.

"Brother, how far is it from here to Helan City?" the Demon head asked Aivaldo.

"There is still a day's journey."

"Why, brother, are you not from our Helan Legion?" Aivaldo looked at the Demon head and asked softly.

"No, we are from the 23rd Division of the Yihe Legion. Our station is close to you here. I heard that the captives here sell for a good price. Hehe, you know..." the Demon head laughed.

Aivaldo nodded.

After smoking a few puffs of the cigar, the Demon head got up and said goodbye to Aivaldo.

Before long, the Demon head's figure disappeared from Aivaldo's field of vision.

Aivaldo extinguished the cigar in his hand, then carefully put the remaining cigarette butt into his pocket.

He pressed his ears, which were frozen red, and then stood there in a daze.

Right! Weren't they going to sell captives? I can buy them!

The captives bought and the captives caught, aren't they the same to the Demon Lord?

Aivaldo patted his head and praised himself for being smart.

He whispered a few words to his subordinates and chased after the direction the Demon head left.

Fortunately, that team of Demon soldiers didn't walk fast, and Aivaldo caught up in less than the time it takes to smoke a cigarette.

"Buddy, wait a minute!"

From dozens of meters away, Aivaldo shouted at the short Demon head who was leading.

The short Demon head turned around, looked at Aivaldo suspiciously, and then stopped.

"Buddy, wait a minute! I have something to discuss with you!"

Aivaldo came to the short Demon head and said loudly to him.

"Brother, what's the matter?"

"Buddy, let's discuss, can you sell me these captives you caught?"

"Uh..." The short Demon head's brow furrowed.

"Buddy, anyway, you are going to sell the captives when you escort them to Helan City, why not sell them to me! Don't worry, I will pay Demon stones at the market price, I won't treat you badly!" Aivaldo agitated.

"This, I need to discuss with my brothers."

The short Demon head pondered for a moment before answering.

There's a chance!

Aivaldo felt a burst of joy when he heard him say he wanted to discuss it.

"That's no problem. Brother, go discuss it yourself, I'll wait for you here." Aivaldo cupped his hands at the Demon head.

The short Demon head nodded, and only then did he slowly go to chase his team.

"This guy, it seems he is not an easy one to deal with, I'm afraid I'll have to bleed a lot later!"

Looking at the way the short Demon head walked, Aivaldo thought to himself.

In his field of vision, a hundred meters away.

The short Demon head finally caught up with his team.

He and his subordinates formed a circle and were whispering.

Aivaldo put his hand to his ear and listened quietly.

Eavesdropping was Aivaldo's innate skill.

Relying on a pair of keen ears, Aivaldo was doing well in the team.

"... market... no... place..."

"... but... must... go..."

The wind was strong, and the sound coming was intermittent.

Could it be that these guys still want to escort the captives to the city to sell?

Aivaldo imagined for a moment, feeling anxious in his heart.

Fortunately, this kind of worry didn't last long before he saw the short Demon head waving at him.

Aivaldo ran over quickly.

"Buddy, we just discussed it, we can consider selling one or two captives to you. However..."

"One or two? Can you sell me a few more? Don't worry, the price won't be less for you."

The short Demon head shook his head: "No, at most two. 500 low-grade Demon stones each. And, we have another condition."

"What condition?"

"We want to escort the remaining captives to Helan City. You have to help us bring us into the city. We don't want to pay the high entry fee to your guards."

"Easy to say. But this price has to be..."

"20% off."

"Deal."

The transaction was completed, and everyone was happy.

Aivaldo took out his snuff bottle and handed it to the Demon head.

"Buddy, have a puff. This Dragon Snuff was rewarded to me by the Demon Lord last time I made a great contribution."

"Good!"

After the transaction and the snuff, Aivaldo became familiar with the short Demon head.

According to the short Demon head, his name was Gelio. He led his brothers and could catch many human captives every year.

Aivaldo was overjoyed.

If he could establish a long-term business relationship with Gelio, wouldn't the wealth roll in?

"Buddy, I have a channel to sell captives. Why don't we join forces?"

"Easy to say, easy to say."

The two chatted one after another, and a day passed unconsciously.

When the sunset fell, a giant city appeared in everyone's field of vision.

The giant city was built against the mountain, layer upon layer, majestic and spectacular.

The city was filled with Demon mist, and the roars of Demon beasts came from the city from time to time.

Aivaldo looked at Gelio, who was a bit dazed, and smiled softly: "Buddy, welcome to Shanzhi City!"
