The clear voice and the pitiful eyes deeply touched Mao Qi's heart.
But before Mao Qi could react, the sharp eyes of the man from the ancient palace had already fallen on Mao Qi.
Looking at the collar mark on the collar of Mao Qi's clothes, the man from the ancient palace let out a disdainful laugh. Without looking carefully at Mao Qi's reaction, he withdrew his gaze, pinched the cat tribe woman's weakest part hard, and then whispered
He said: "He is also a slave. It seems that he is not worth fifty thousand spiritual crystals. How can I save you?"
The scene in front of him stirred up waves in Mao Qi's heart, and the cat tribe woman's eyes deeply hurt his nerves. At this moment, Mao Qi truly felt the sorrow and helplessness of the weak. Although it hurt his heart, he still felt
But Mao Qi could only choose to endure it.
Shanlang had gained face and earned spiritual crystals. He didn't want to talk nonsense anymore, and led Mao Qi and others directly out of the trading office under the gnashing eyes of the man in the ancient palace.
Along the way, Mao Qi took the initiative to share some of the weapons with Shanfei, but he did not expect that his good intentions would turn out to be bad luck, and he would eventually become the person with the heaviest burden in the team.
However, Mao Qi didn't care, because at this time, his mind was not on whether he should bear more or less burden, but on how to make himself stronger as soon as possible.
After returning to the tribe and putting down the purchased items, Mao Qi was escorted back to the slave camp by Mountain Bee. At this time, it was getting late, and his thoughts along the way had gradually subsided, and Mao Qi was lying quietly in the haystack.
, enjoying the comfort after fatigue.
"Where did the realm energy of the mountain wolf and the man from the ancient palace come from? Is it just because of martial arts, or because of the extreme strength..." Mao Qi fell asleep while thinking.
In the days that followed, Mao Qi stopped using the moving tools and exhausted himself to the point of exhaustion every day. Although it was hard work, the increasing strength continued to give Mao Qi confidence.
Mao Qi finished the day's tasks early and sat on a large bluestone, admiring the beautiful scenery before sunset alone.
"I can't tell that even though you are small, your strength is comparable to that of a big man." Gu Li waved his hands and walked gently behind Mao Qi and said.
After getting along for a period of time, Mao Qi and Gu Li established trust. With Mao Qi's help, Gu Li also completed the task ahead of schedule.
In this competitive and hopeless place, it is difficult to find trustworthy people.
"Although this place is desolate, it has a unique flavor." Mao Qi looked into the distance and replied meaningfully.
"Oh, I didn't realize that besides being a coolie, you also have such interests." Gu Li said in a drawl, with some dissatisfaction.
"It's really unimaginable that in this desolate sky, there is infinite power..." Mao Qi continued to express his feelings.
"Don't be poor. Are you interested in taking you to a more beautiful place?" Gu Li adjusted his mood and said mysteriously.
"I'm not interested. What good place can there be here?" Mao Qi didn't want to interrupt this beautiful feeling, so he replied in a puzzled manner.
But before he finished speaking, Mao Qi felt someone push him hard from behind, and then he rolled down the bluestone.
Fortunately, Mao Qi reacted quickly enough and kicked hard when he was about to hit the ground, thus avoiding the tragedy of falling headfirst to the ground.
Mao Qi didn't know why Gu Li was so angry today, and was about to step forward to ask what happened, but when Mao Qi saw Gu Li, he was stunned.
Standing in front of him was a slim and beautiful woman, completely different from the slovenly and unattractive Gu Li in his memory.
Seeing Mao Qi's surprised and dull expression, Gu Li showed a charming smile.
"Gu, Gu Oriole..." Mao Qi hesitantly called out.
"Look..." Being called out by Mao Qi, Gu Li also felt a little embarrassed.
"Didn't you say you wanted to take me somewhere?" Mao Qi looked away awkwardly and said.
"Follow me." Gu Li said briefly, then turned around and led the way.
But Mao Qi could see clearly that the moment Gu Li turned around, his ears turned red.
The two of them came to a pile of rocks full of mud, and saw a strange-shaped big stone standing in the pile of rocks. The Oriole did not stop, rolled up his trousers, and started to swim toward the big stone.
.
"Come on Mao Qi!" Just when he was about to get close to the stone, Gu Li turned around and urged Mao Qi.
After saying that, he disappeared from Mao Qi's eyes. Fortunately, Mao Qi's eyesight was good enough and he quickly discovered the hole hidden under the bluestone. Without hesitation, he jumped into the hole.
Not long after Mao Qi and Gu Li disappeared, a wretched slave came to the place where they disappeared. After observing for a long time, he shook his head and left.
This hole is not deep, but it is very narrow. After Mao Qi slid down the cave wall for a certain distance, his eyes suddenly became wide open, and the countless fluorescent stones in the hole illuminated the whole space extremely brightly; the fluorescence was intertwined
In the room, various colors of light dress up the place like a fairyland on earth.
"I really want to stay here and never go out." The ancient oriole jumped happily among the fluorescent lights, just like a fairy dancing.
Mao Qi also curiously looked at the pothole, which was not really that big, and felt a little intoxicated.
"Do you know why I brought you here?" Oriole seemed a little tired and was lying on a flat fluorescent stone, with the surrounding light reflecting its attractive curves.
Mao Qi swallowed hard and did not answer.
"I came to the Gushan Tribe..." Seeing that Mao Qi didn't answer, Gu Li said to himself.
"What did you say..." As soon as he heard about the ancient mountain tribe, Mao Qi interrupted Gu Oriole's words like a trigger.
"Do you know the ancient mountain tribe?" Gu Li sat up and asked expectantly.
"Before I was captured here, I was also in the ancient mountain tribe, but I was captured back. I am also a slave with the same status as here." Mao Qi suppressed the excitement in his heart and pretended to be indifferent.
"Oh! It's really unexpected. But I'm also curious, which race do you come from?" Mao Qi's words obviously affected Gu Li's mood.
"Chinese tribe." Mao Qi sat down opposite Gu Li and said seriously.
"I've never heard of it. Why were you captured by the Gushan Tribe?" Gu Li asked with concern, fearing that he would be estranged from Mao Qi because he came to the Gushan Tribe.
"Run Shang..." Mao Qi replied.
"What's wrong with the Gushan tribe? Even businessmen are arrested." Gu Li complained in a low voice: "Then how did you get caught here?"
"During a hunt, I was attacked by the Shankui tribe. I couldn't escape, so I was caught here." Mao Qi continued with a hint of recollection: "Although I was also a slave in the ancient mountain tribe, I was recognized by the tribe.
No different from tribe members."
Mao Qi saw Gu Li's thoughts, and what he said next was comfort to Gu Li.
"Really." Mao Qi's words made Gu Li's heart light up, and he asked excitedly.
"Of course it's true... Gu Li, I have a question, and I've been planning to ask you for advice for a long time." What makes Mao Qi the most impatient is how to practice martial arts.
"You ask!" Gu Li said with great interest, suppressing the countless topics in his mind.
"I really want to know how the martial arts are practiced here?" Mao Qi's tone was impatient.
"Practice martial arts, it's very hard, and the most important thing is to be able to sense the power in the air, otherwise don't have any illusions."
"Energy in the air?" Mao Qi repeated, closing his eyes.
"If you can't sense the energy in the air, you can't practice martial arts. Have you sensed it? It's right next to you." Gu Li seemed to be explaining to Mao Qi, and also seemed to be guiding him.
"No." After trying to sense it for a moment, Mao Qi still said regretfully.
"Don't be anxious, take your time. Aren't you quite sentimental? They are right next to you and will brush against your skin gently." Gu Li slowed down and said softly.
"Let everything go as it happens." Mao Qi was not in a hurry and changed the subject: "As for you, you don't mind telling me how you got here."
"I was injured during a hunting, and happened to be attacked by the Shankui tribe, so I was caught here as a slave." Gu Li's tone was very relaxed, but there was deep sadness in his eyes.
"We will definitely be able to regain our freedom." Mao Qi said seriously and firmly.
"You want to run away?" Gu Li said pretending to be surprised.
"Do you want to stay here forever?" Guli's reaction was beyond Mao Qi's expectation, but Mao Qi didn't think she would tell Shanfei.
"No, I've been dreaming about leaving here, but I'm not strong enough." Mao Qi's calmness made Gu Li have to think highly of him. But when he thought about the reality, he felt a little pessimistic.
"Don't give up, we will definitely be able to get out." Mao Qi comforted.
"I hope so!" Gu Li replied in a depressed mood.
"By the way, for the sake of safety, you must not let outsiders see your current appearance." Mao Qi suddenly remembered the friendly looks in their eyes when he saw cat people in the trading market.
"Don't I look good now?" Gu Li adjusted his mood and asked with his face close to Mao Qi.
"It's just because she's too beautiful that she's not safe." Suddenly being so close, Mao Qi panicked and explained unnaturally.
"Don't worry, I have my own way." Mao Qi's reaction made Gu Li very satisfied. He retracted his head proudly and said mysteriously. "I hope you can adapt to the life of a slave as soon as possible."
"Have I already adapted to it?" Mao Qi asked with confusion.
"That's it, it's far from it. Once a war breaks out, it will be the most difficult time for slaves. As a slave, when charging, they will be used as cannon fodder, and when retreating, they will be used as cattle and horses to carry materials, and as long as they can't keep up with the team,
, you will be executed. If you don’t have the ability to save your life, you won’t live long. When you realize the energy in the air, I will give you some martial arts skills to save your life." Gu Li said seriously.
"You know martial arts, that's great." Mao Qi said happily.
"I mean, after you realize the energy in the air. Whether you can realize it or not is still a question, you will be so happy." Seeing Mao Qi's happy look, Gu Li immediately poured a basin of cold water on it and said: "
This is the place where we met secretly, and you are not allowed to tell it. It is getting late, and we should go back."
"Going back now?" When he thought of returning to a stone house like a doghouse, Mao Qi felt that it would be much better here.
"Then what do you want to do?" Gu Li looked at Mao Qi strangely and asked.
Gu Li's tone and strange expression made Mao Qi feel a little embarrassed even though he was a father. "I, I mean, if you don't go back, you will miss dinner."
Seeing Mao Qi's embarrassed look, Gu Li burst out laughing, turned around and crawled out of the pit.
"I almost forgot. Remember to change your clothes before you go back." Mao Qi reminded him as he was about to go out.
"Stop nagging and follow closely." Although Gu Li was enjoying himself in his heart, he said reluctantly.??
