Tang Yan and his party quickly tracked the blood traces left by Nalan Tu in the depths of the rain forest. They ran like lightning all the way to the north until they broke out of the rain forest. However, starting from the halfway point, the blood traces became less and less. Sometimes, after a few
Not even a drop can be found for kilometers.
There were constant melees in the rainforest, monsters and beasts were everywhere, and all kinds of blood could be seen everywhere, making their pursuit extremely difficult.
After they rushed out of the Ehe Rainforest, they could no longer find any traces of blood. The frantic pursuit immediately reached a deadlock and finally came to a standstill.
"Ling Pheasant, do you have any other options?" Tang Yan was impatient. If Nalan Tu really fell out of the void, his situation would not be much better than his own, and he would definitely be seriously injured.
Although Nalan Tu is wise, he has a kind heart deep in his heart. He really can't think of harming others unless he has to. Therefore, Na Lan Tu is not the type who can survive in this world at all. Tang Yan urgently wants to
Find him.
"There is nothing we can do." Ling Pheasant shook his head. He had no clues and was powerless to make a comeback.
"We have something we don't know whether to say or not." Sister Qin suddenly said.
"explain!!"
"We traced this path and discovered some special phenomena."
"What phenomenon?"
"In addition to the blood stains left by your friend, there are always water stains and pieces of clothing. One or two places is normal, but there are no less than a hundred places on the same trajectory. Not surprisingly, these things are the same as those of your friend.
The blood stains all fell from the sky. We suspect..."
"Stop dawdling, tell me!!"
"He was taken into slavery."
"What's the meaning?"
Sister Qin no longer held back and said comprehensively: "There are energy mines all over the world, which are one of the foundations for the survival and development of various forces. There are large and small mines, but they all require a large number of slaves to mine. So all over the world came into being.
Slave traders, they have their own armed teams, and they capture wandering warriors or strong ordinary people everywhere, and transfer them to different mining areas for lifelong slavery."
Tang Yan's face suddenly became extremely ugly, being a slave?!
Back then, he and Du Yang were transferred to the Taiwu Mining Area and worked as slaves for nearly a month. It was a nightmare, and it is an experience that will never be forgotten in their life journey. With Nalan Tu's small body, if he really became a slave,
Not being tortured to death?
"What slave traders are nearby!"
"A lot! Too many!! The energy mining areas in our southeast are very rich. There are not only 5,000 but also 4,000 large and small mines. On average, the total number of slaves in each mining area is tens of thousands, and there are hundreds of thousands in large ones.
.So...the slave caravan...must be at least four to five hundred."
"So many?" Chocolate was shocked.
"Moreover, all slave traders have more or less connections with each other. Their practice is to capture slaves in one area and immediately transfer them to other areas, or they may continue to resell and transfer them to many places, and they may resell at least seven or eight merchants in a row.
Their purpose is to avoid catching any special person and causing disaster. After the continuous transfer, it is difficult for outsiders to find out who was the first to catch this slave."
"You mean... you just caught it? You can't find it??"
"It's not that they can't be found, it's that it's hard to find them again. Those slave traders are the type of people we casual cultivators hate most, but they have deep connections with various energy mines, and behind each energy mine are
Some ethnic groups or organizations.”
Zairos said: "We are just discussing the matter, and it is also a speculation."
"What should we do? Just give up like this?" Zhu Guli has a very good relationship with Nalan Tu. The two have been together in the Dayan Mountains for more than two years and have fought side by side. They are the only ones in Tang Yan's team who told him
It came from what was said.
Sister Qin said: "We suggest walking forward and trying to find more clues, or wandering around the towns ahead to try our luck."
Zairos said: "There are two ancient towns ahead, Daye Town and Santong Town. Among them, Daye Town has the most slave traders, at least four or five, and they often go deep into the E River rainforest to catch loose cultivators and injured teams.
There are also slave traders in Santong Town, but they rarely deal with locals. When doing business, they usually transfer slaves from other places and sell them."
"Lead the way! Go to Daye Town first!"
Under the leadership of Sister Qin and the others, everyone headed north.
In the ancient town of Daye, the dilapidated buildings are like the ruins of an abandoned city, and the noisy noise exudes a barbaric atmosphere. The ancient town is dilapidated but vast, towering in the vast wilderness, with a large flow of people inside and outside.
Tang Yan and the others found no useful clues along the way, so they plunged into Daye Ancient Town, which was filled with the smell of sin. However, perhaps because they were eager to advance, they were quickly spotted.
"We'd better leave now!"
"It is the guard force of Daye Town, formed voluntarily by the guard teams of various slave merchants."
"Their noses are more sensitive than wild dogs, and they patrol the ancient town day and night, with the purpose of searching for those who come to investigate slaves."
"Don't provoke them, otherwise you will be in countless troubles and may not be able to get out of this ancient town."
Sister Qin and the other four immediately became vigilant and whispered to Tang Yan.
"Ling Pheasant, Lao Zhu, you three go investigate and be careful to stay hidden." Tang Yan took a deep breath and made arrangements without revealing anything.
"Be careful with yourselves." Chocolate and Ling Pheasant were traveling around like ghosts and never showed up. Now they disappeared immediately. Only Langya lurked in the dark, guarding Tang Yan's safety.
Tang Yan said nonchalantly: "Let's sit in a pub."
The four Sisters Qin have been active in this area all year round and are very familiar with Daye Town, as well as with some taverns and casual cultivators. After they became "normal", people kept greeting them, and of course there were many provocations or teases.
For these savage hunters who lick blood from their blades, Sister Qin's beauty is too tempting to them.
They chose a relatively quiet tavern and sat down, ordered a pot of strong wine and a few plates of side dishes, and started drinking by themselves.
The city guards who were secretly observing them gradually quieted down and lurked to observe in secret. Occasionally they would wander around a few times, but they did not come out to question them blatantly.
The tense atmosphere is easing little by little.
But the city guard never left.
Tang Yan slightly activated the Sen Luo Eye to explore the situation in the ancient town and search for traces of Nalan Tue. However, due to his serious injury and lack of spiritual power, the scope of the Sen Luo Eye's exploration was limited.
"Mr. Tang, can I make a suggestion?" Lina suddenly reminded Tang Yan.
"Huh?" Tang Yan responded casually.
"Daye Town is very familiar with strangers. They are very sensitive to 'strangers' coming in and out. In fact, it's not just Daye Town, it's the same in other places. Can you...can you take a shower and change clothes first?"
Tang Yan withdrew his probing gaze: "What do you mean?"
"People will be very wary when they find strangers. Don't say you are like this now. It's hard for others not to notice." Lina muttered to herself.
Now Tang Yan is still wearing the same tattered clothes. Some places are covered with strips of cloth. There are only blood stains and dirt. There is no clean place. Moreover, he is barefoot and unkempt, and his appearance cannot be seen clearly. Even if he is
Beggar...this look is a bit exaggerated.
And... when we get together... we can still smell blood and stench...
Sister Qin and the others could bear it, but Lina couldn't bear it anymore.
Tang Yan looked at himself and realized that he had indeed gone too far: "Is there a place to take a bath nearby?"
Lao Jiang said with a bad smile: "In a place like Daye Town, the most indispensable thing is wine shops and bathhouses, but...you can't just take a bath in the bathhouse, there are so many items inside."
"Lend you an energy stone."
About an hour later, Tang Yan walked out of a bathhouse, cleaned his body thoroughly and changed into clean clothes.
But in this way, he became more conspicuous.
There are no scars on the surface of his body. He is clean and fresh. His long black hair is tied behind his head. However, both his face and skin color are extremely pale. It is extremely anemic and gives people the feeling of being sick and weak. His left eye has a
A black eye bag covers the red and swollen left eye, making it even more mysterious and weird.
It's not as if it's just weakness. It gives people a sense of danger out of thin air.
As soon as I walked out of the bathhouse, many people on the street looked at me probingly.
"Huh? He looks quite young. I thought he was an old man. He is... quite handsome..." Lina finally saw Tang Yan's appearance, but it was a hundred times better than expected.
Sister Qin and others were also surprised that he was so young!
Not long after Tang Yan came back, Chocolate sent a signal. The group quickly left the wine shop and gathered in a dark alley.
"How about it?"
"Nothing was found. We searched every slave camp and found no Nalan disciples."
"But Cangyun Gun seems to have some sense. It trembled a few times when it was in one of the slave camps. But I searched there four times, and Chocolate also searched several times, but I couldn't find Na.
Lan Tu.”
"which one?!"
"The easternmost one."
"Let's go!!" Tang Yan was about to rush out immediately.
"No way!" Zairos grabbed Tang Yan and looked nervous: "The easternmost slave camp belongs to the largest slave trader in Daye Town. The owner is Simetaye, a treacherous and cunning villain, and a small celebrity in the southeast.
A famous slave trader. The key is that he has a very close connection with Mulinguan Fortress and is secretly contacted by Mulinguan Fortress."
"Am I afraid of him?!"
"It's not a question of whether we are afraid or not. Slave traders are rogues. They do whatever they do. If they are really angered and issue a high-price arrest warrant, we will face an overwhelming pursuit. Mr. Tang, aren't you worried about violence?
Revealing your identity? If you anger him, you will have to reveal it even if you don’t want to!"
