Chapter 80 You are also worthy of being an emperor?
After a night passed, Yuan Ming's body finally disappeared from the dull pain. Although the chaos system was swallowed up and disappeared, fortunately, other magic systems were not affected.
Early in the morning, Yuan Ming finally got some sleep but was woken up by the noise. It was a group of real humans. Among them, a little girl was explaining to Mu Ningxue with a piece of pancake and a bag of water in her hand.
"She was also parasitized..."
Mu Ningxue still has lingering doubts about the parasitic monster last time.
"No, no, we are humans from the grassland over there. We just came back to get some tools."
"Is this so..."
"Hmm, sister is so beautiful. Beautiful sister, have you eaten? I'll give you my pancakes." The little girl showed an innocent smile, and Mu Ningxue couldn't help but be stunned.
What is seen in the girl's eyes is agility and clarity, which are not possessed by those young girls from aristocratic families who are arrogant and prejudiced all day long.
Just as the little girl was about to hand the pancake to Mu Ningxue, Yuan Ming suddenly turned over and jumped off the skeleton. He gently rubbed the little girl's head and said with a smile: "What's your name?"
The little girl's eyes were fixed on Yuan Ming's left chest, and she was stunned for a while before shouting loudly: "Dad, this man only has one arm! Is he a sacrifice like my sister?"
"Sacrifice?" Yuan Ming's face showed a look of both laughter and laughter.
As soon as the little girl finished speaking, a middle-aged man with black and white hair walked out of the crowd. The middle-aged man was holding a huge bone axe. It seemed that it should be the teeth of the skull, and they were the sharpest canine teeth.
"Young man, which ranch are you from? This is our Blood Bone Ranch. We just recently performed a sacrifice, so we returned to the ground." The middle-aged leader said.
"Blood Bone Ranch? It doesn't look like a ranch here." Yuan Ming was surprised. The most important thing is that these people have no magic energy fluctuations and they don't seem to be magicians.
If this place is really a ranch, then the people Yuan Ming has seen the most are demons, but they are far from being able to deal with them.
So what do these people mean when they say this is a ranch? "Mu Ningxue, do you see where they come from?"
After touching the little girl's head, Mu Ningxue turned around and said softly: "They all came out of empty bones. We looked at those bones yesterday and they were all deeply inserted bones."
"Empty Bones? Are you from underground???"
Hearing Yuan Ming's question, the middle-aged man also showed a strange look, and asked in confusion: "We live underground, and that is the pasture of the demi-humans. Don't you know?"
"A pasture for demi-humans?" Yuan Ming's face showed suspicion, "What does this mean?"
The middle-aged man smiled helplessly and frowned, clearly not wanting to explain: "Pasture is pasture, what else can it mean!!"
Yuan Ming was even more confused.
Since this is the pasture of demihumans, why are there human herders?
Although the sub-races are much better than pure bloody races like monsters, Yuan Ming also knows that many sub-human groups in the dark plane have their own writing and cultural heritage, but they are still aliens after all. How can they coexist peacefully with humans?
Moreover, the Dark Plane is dominated by demi-humans, and most demi-humans have the greed and thirst for blood of demons.
What's more, the demi-humans in the dark plane don't regard humans as close relatives at all. In their eyes, they are just like the humans in the human plane. Demi-humans and monsters are both monsters. Of course, humans and monsters here are also monsters, but
Humans are just weaker.
At this time, Yuan Ming suddenly heard a cry from an empty bone in the Stone Bone Village, "The Shepherd is here! The Shepherd is here, and the Shepherd is here to tell you to go back quickly!"
Chief Shepherd? Yuan Ming nodded. Judging from his name, he was probably the leader of this group of people.
But why shouldn't these people behave in a relaxed manner? Even if they are nervous, it can be explained away, but what they show is tears beside their eyes.
"Didn't we just offer sacrifices once? What did the shepherd chief say? We didn't offer sacrifices once a month. We just offered sacrifices once a few days ago! We only offered sacrifices once a few days ago!!!"
"Dad, let me go this time."
Hearing this, everyone, including the little girl and the middle-aged man, looked shocked. If they were late when the Shepherd came, they would be directly sacrificed.
They don’t want to be a sacrifice! They don’t want to be a sacrifice, but they themselves still want to live a little longer!!!
They rushed into the bone cave and ignored Yuan Ming and Mu Ningxue.
"It seems that this sacrifice... is very important to them." Seeing the bone village that instantly became empty, Yuan Ming couldn't help but shook his head.
"Follow me?" After taking a sip of pancake, Mu Ningxue raised her head and asked Yuan Ming.
"Follow me... Anyway, we have found humans. Let's go and see what their sacrifices are, and the pasture... Although it's a bit weird, you don't have to be hungry every day." He strode aside.
At the edge of the hollow bone hole, Yuan Ming whispered.
I didn't pay much attention to these empty skeletons yesterday, but I didn't expect that real human beings actually live underground.
The empty skeleton did not have any protection. After Yuan Ming jumped down, he reached the bottom like a slide. On a field not far away, there were seven to eight hundred people standing neatly together, including young, old, women and children.
.
They were all standing on the grassland. Under the bloody bones was a lush green grassland. What was different from ordinary grasslands was that there was no blue sky and was covered by a blood-red dome.
If there were really cattle and sheep on the grassland, Yuan Ming would definitely not think that using the word pasture to describe this place is too much. It is ridiculous that there is not even a dog here.
At the same time, the stones were replaced by bones, and the grasslands were full of low buildings made of bones.
In front of these people, there are two tall demi-humans, all in frightening white, almost 1.8 meters tall. The only thing that is different from these people is that they have two horns on their heads. These are the shepherds they call them.
Grew up.
The close proximity of the dome made people feel oppressive. After Yuan Ming came out of the bone slide, Mu Ningxue also came out at the same time.
"This..." Mu Ningxue's acceptance ability was obviously not as good as Yuan Ming's. The moment she saw the blood-colored dome, her blue eyes had to show surprise.
Yuan Ming took Mu Ningxue and hid behind a tall skull, "Let's wait and see what happens."
The two shepherds wandered around, and then said in a thick voice: "Today is the day when our empress's heir turns one year old. We are going to have a big feast, and we want ten people!"
The middle-aged man had a troubled look on his face, "Isn't ten people a bit too many?"
"No need to discuss! We are still young, you, you, you and you... Well, that little girl is pretty good, fresh and delicious! By the way, take her with you too!" The shepherd chief pointed out his hand.
When the middle-aged man heard what he said, his face became even more embarrassed, "Master Shepherd! This is not okay! The Empress said she doesn't want little girls, not until she is fourteen years old!!"
"What do you care about? The Empress is happy today and wants to eat two bites of tender food! Hahahahahaha, bring it to you..." Just as he said that, the Shepherd Chief threw a rope from his hand and lassoed a few people.
The little girl wanted to escape, but how could she escape from the Demon Lord's rope? She was tied tightly in an instant.
"Daddy, ah daddy..."
Seeing this scene, Mu Ningxue's eyes suddenly turned cold, and the power of ice and snow was invisible.
"Well, it's just two young generals, come on!!"
There was a hint of murderous intent in Yuan Ming's eyes. Only now did he realize that this was indeed a pasture, but the people grazing were not humans. Humans were just animals on the pasture. In human pastures, cattle and sheep were animals.
Cattle and sheep are kept on pastures, and they are slaughtered and eaten only when they are fat.
On the pasture of demi-humans, humans are animals, kept here in captivity, and then slaughtered when they become fat!!!
