Fang Qiu trembled. He also knew that although high-level demons were intelligent, they still preyed on humans. He would not have taken this tactic unless he had no choice but to do so.
"This... Blizzard City is located in the northern part of the deserted land. You are all monsters from the north. The city lord has never interfered with your cannibalism. He has dealt with monsters in many cities, and most of them will give a few... To save face, if you two can let me live, after we go back, the city lord will definitely provide enough slaves for you to eat." Fang Qiu was covered in cold sweat.
On top of the boulder, Shen Yanxiao frowned slightly. He had heard Du Lang and the others say before that among the other three forces in the deserted land, there were certain rules for contact with demons.
Because although they have completed building the city, if they want to ensure the road to the country, they must take care of the monsters on the way.
For this reason, the city lords of their own side have a consensus that they will "pay tribute" to the high-level demons in several nearby cities, and this tribute is the slave purchased from the Forgotten Trace. Demons can eat people, and their requirements are not high. The slaves of the Forgotten Trace Many of them are old, weak, sick and disabled, and their prices are very low. The strong slaves Shen Yanxiao buys only cost a few to ten gold coins each, and those slaves who are almost dead and have no ability to work are often You can buy two or three for one gold coin.
The other three cities often purchase such cheap slaves to build good relations with the demons in their areas.
Once you feed them, you don't have to worry about them attacking their own people easily.
This kind of dark transaction has always existed in various cities in the deserted land. Every month, tens of thousands of slaves are sent to the cities where monsters are located to be eaten.
When Shen Yanxiao first heard about this matter, he was very disgusted with it.
Although people are not willing to die for themselves, but they are not strong enough and still want to open up territory, they use those poor slaves as sacrifices. These people are really cruel.
Shen Yanxiao asked herself that she was not a good man or woman, but she could not do such a thing no matter what.
Now it seems that the leader of the mercenary group can actually say such words without changing his expression. Obviously, such things should be commonplace in Blizzard City.
Shen Yanxiao subconsciously disliked this group leader. In comparison, Du Lang was more bloody and humane.
After hearing Fang Qiu's words, the two high-level demons showed a smile on their faces.
"Oh? I have always heard that Blizzard City is very generous and has distributed a lot of food to our brothers in the north. I wonder how many slaves you plan to use in exchange for your lives this time?" One of the demons looked at it with a smile. Fang Qiu, who was sweating coldly, seemed moved by his suggestion.
Fang Qiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The other party was willing to talk, which was a good thing after all.
"Five hundred, we will exchange it with you for five hundred slaves!" Fang Qiu said immediately.
"Five hundred? Not enough." The two high-level demons were obviously not satisfied with this answer.
"One thousand! I'll give you one thousand!" Fang Qiu quickly added up.
"not enough."
"Two thousand! I'll give you two thousand slaves! In exchange for a few hundred of us!" Fang Qiu continued to increase the number of words amidst the rejection of the higher demons, as if those two thousand slaves were not human beings at all, but just beasts.
"Two thousand." Another high-level demon touched his chin and looked at Fang Qiu thoughtfully.
