Chapter 888: ‘Hero’ Saving the Beauty (3)

Fang Qiu shivered. He knew that even though advanced-ranked demons had intelligence, they would still eat humans. He would not have resorted to such a method if he was not forced to.

“Well… Blizzard City is situated in the northern region of the Forsaken Land, and you are all demons here. The city lord has never interfered with your feasting, and he has also dealt with many demons in the city. Most of the demons there would give us some face. If you can spare my life, I will ask the city lord to provide enough slaves for you to eat when we return.” Fang Qiu broke out in a cold sweat.

Shen Yanxiao frowned as she stood on the boulder. She had heard from Du Lang and the others that the other three forces in the Forsaken Land had rules when dealing with demons.

Even though they had completed the construction of their cities, they still needed to take care of the demons if they wanted to secure a path to the country.

The city lords had agreed that they would ‘pay tributes’ to the advanced-ranked demons in nearby cities. The tributes were slaves purchased from the Scar of Oblivion. Demons ate humans, but the requirements of the humans were not high. Many of the slaves in the Scar of Oblivion were old, weak, sick, or disabled, making their prices very low. Even for those physically strong slaves Shen Yanxiao had purchased, they were only worth ten gold coins per slave. As for those slaves who were on the verge of death and did not have any ability to work, they would usually fetch up to two to three gold coins per slave.

The other three cities would often purchase these cheap slaves to build a good relationship with the demons in their area.

Once the demons were fed, they would not have to worry about them attacking their own people.

Such dark transactions had always existed in various cities in the Forsaken Land. Every month, tens of thousands of slaves would be sent to the cities where demons lived to be eaten.

When Shen Yanxiao first heard about it, she was disgusted by it.

Even though the saying ‘every man for himself’ was very practiced in the Forsaken Land, those slaves were not strong enough to protect themselves. If they wanted to protect their land, they would have to sacrifice those poor slaves. Those people were ruthless.

Shen Yanxiao knew that she was not a kind person, but she would never do something like that.

And from the looks of it, the leader of the group was accustomed to such dealings.

Shen Yanxiao subconsciously disliked the leader. In comparison, Du Lang was more courageous and also more humane.

The two advanced-ranked demons smiled when they heard Fang Qiu’s words.

“Oh? I have heard that Blizzard City is very generous, and they have given our northern brothers a lot of food. I wonder how many slaves do you intend to use in exchange for your lives?” One of the demons smiled as he looked at Fang Qiu, who was drenched in cold sweat. He seemed to be moved by his suggestion.

Fang Qiu secretly relaxed. It was a good thing that the other party was willing to negotiate.

“Five hundred. We will trade five hundred slaves!” Fang Qiu immediately said.

“Five hundred? Not enough.” The two advanced-ranked demons were not satisfied with that answer.

“A thousand! I’ll give you a thousand!” Fang Qiu hastily added.

“Not enough.”

“Two thousand! I will give you two thousand slaves in exchange for hundreds of us!” Fang Qiu continued to increase his side of the deal as the advanced-ranked demons continued to reject his offer. It was as if those two thousand slaves were not humans but beasts.

“Two thousand?” The other advanced-ranked demon touched his chin and looked at Fang Qiu thoughtfully.
