C697 Arrival of the demons
C697 Arrival of the demons
Yu Ge nodded and said, "Since that's the case, I'll arrange for you to set off with them tomorrow."
On the morning of the second day, Chang Sheng left his Central Island with the rest of the people who had arrived and headed towards Overseas Demi-Humans.
Just like the 36 islands, the Overseas Demi-Humans lived on the same island. However, compared to the 36 islands, there were simply too many of these islands.
To Chang Sheng's surprise, he and the other people from the other thirty-six islands that Grand Island Owner's Yu Ge had sent out did not come to the islands outside the Overseas Demi-Humans as he had expected, but instead came to one of the islands near the center of the thirty-six islands in the ocean.
Chang Sheng felt that it was strange, the people of the Overseas Demi-Humans would definitely not trust the outsiders, they actually allowed him and the rest to come to this place where the important people of the Demon Clan resided. No matter how he looked at it, it seemed weird.
Chang Sheng thought as he followed the people from the Overseas Demi-Humans who came to meet them.
It could be seen that this island was developing quite well. However, the buildings on both sides of the road were getting more and more dilapidated along the way. The clothes of the people they met along the way were getting worse and worse, so much so that when they finally reached the end of the road, they looked no different from the servants in those small clans. There were even some who were not fully clothed and had a light color on their faces. It was obvious that they normally wouldn't be able to eat their fill. Thus, there were more and more people who appeared before them.
"You will live here from now on." Suddenly, the person leading the way stopped and pointed to a house not far away.
Everyone looked in the direction the other party was pointing at, and they immediately cried out in alarm.
An extremely dilapidated thatched hut that seemed extremely small came into view. Beside this thatched hut was a thatched cottage. Occasionally, the cries of cattle and sheep could be heard from within the shed.
"You … "What did you say? You said that this is where we will live from now on?" A person from the Thirty-sixth Island pointed with a trembling finger at the house that the other party was talking about. His face was filled with disbelief as he said, "You … Are you kidding? "
"Humph? A joke? Yours Truly does not have the time to joke around with you all. " The man snorted disdainfully, waved his hand impatiently like a beggar, and said, "The house is already prepared for you. If you like it, you won't be able to stay."
With that, the man turned around and was about to leave.
Seeing that the other party was about to leave after finishing his sentence, the people of the 36 islands couldn't hold themselves back anymore. Which one of them wasn't a master? Other than strength, which one of them could be sent here on the 36 islands didn't have an extremely deep relationship with each other? Now, the other party was actually going to treat them like this, letting them live in clearly slums. How could this be possible!?
"Is this a house? Look at this house, it's built from a pile of thatch. It looks no different from the shack next to it. You want us to live in this house? You are insulting us! "
"That's right. This house should have a slightly stronger wind and should be able to collapse. You're letting us live in such a place?"
"Ignoring the houses, there are more than 20 people in our line of work. Why would so many people live in such a small house?" Even two people wouldn't be able to live in that house. What the hell do you mean? "
The people of the 36 islands were shouting at each other.
"What is it? Is there any problem with giving you the house? " When the other party saw the group of people who were venting their dissatisfaction, a deep look of contempt appeared on his face, "I'll tell you, the place I'll be giving you all a place to stay, is to take care of you. If you don't want to live here, you can live here. And you think this house is small? Let me tell you, this house is not only for you, it also has that group of trash that came from your place before you! "
"Has someone else been here before? Before we came, there were still thirty-six people sent here by the Island Owner? "
Everyone was stunned when they heard the man's words, and the man's words continued to ring out at this time.
"I didn't bring you here to enjoy yourselves. I don't care who you used to be, but to come here, you have to listen to our orders, or else, die! "
With a cold snort, the other party turned around and left without a care for the group of fellows whose faces were darker than charcoal.
It was only a long time after the man had left that the people from the thirty-six islands finally reacted. For a time, curses began to sound out.
"Damn. I am a dignified Island Owner, how can I live in such a room? Even the place where I live on the island with my mount is ten times better! "
"Before I came here, why didn't anyone tell me that I was going to live in such a house?!"
"These fellows from the Overseas Demi-Humans are really looking down too much on others. Although we do not belong to the Overseas Demi-Humans now, but no matter what, we are still from there. If we calculate, we are also from the same branch, and thus, the people of the Overseas Demi-Humans, how could they treat us like this?! "
Just as everyone was complaining, the door to the house they had temporarily lived in suddenly opened with a creak. Then, a few figures rushed out at an astonishing speed.
"Shut up!"
With an explosive shout, the figures that had rushed out of the houses from before came to a stop in front of everyone.
Everyone quickly saw the appearance of the person and immediately, cries of surprise rang out once more.
"Protector Zhang?"
"General Li?"
"Island Owner Liu? Why are you here? "
Relying on Lv Jiuzhe's memories, Chang Sheng quickly recognized that there were two or three people among the people in front of him that he did not recognize. There were also some vague impressions in Lv Jiuzhe's memories that he knew that they were from the Thirty-sixth Island.
It seems that the previous person was not just spouting nonsense, Grand Island Owner Yu Ge had sent a group of people over before sending the rest out.
"Do you want to die?" To everyone's surprise, when the other party saw them, he did not mention the old days with them. Instead, he loudly berated them, "How are you guys addressing them? They are from the Holy Family! "
"Holy Family? "Oh, oh, yes." When everyone heard the words of these seniors, they all came to their senses.
Among these Overseas Demi-Humans, the people they hated the most were people who called them Demon Clan, and even the majority of Overseas Demi-Humans s, as long as they heard others using Demon Clan, they would address them as them. They would immediately attack and kill each other. They liked to call themselves Holy Family, and also liked to hear others calling them Holy Family.
"Island Owner Liu, when did you come here? Why don't we know anything? "And you live here?" In a moment of time, one of the Protectors from Chang Sheng's memories who seemed to be a Protector of some island took the initiative to question a Island Owner that they recognized earlier.
Hearing the Protector's words, the gazes of everyone who came this time all landed on the body of Island Owner Liu at the same time.
"Sigh …" Hearing the other party's question, Island Owner Liu did not immediately answer. Instead, he let out a long sigh and slowly opened his mouth.
"We have been here for a month. As for why you don't know, that is because the Grand Island Owner requires it to be kept secret. Aside from the people who came here, only Grand Island Owner knew that we came here. Presumably, the Grand Island Owner is planning to use us as a secret force, so outsiders do not know of our existence. "
Island Owner Liu walked towards the thatched cottage that he had rushed out of, and said: "As for where we live, didn't you guys see that as well?"
Island Owner Liu retorted, his face revealing a bitter smile: "I know, you all have questions. You all will definitely find it strange, why would we stay in this kind of place. But if we don't live here, where can we live? As for resisting against them? That would simply be suicide! "
"When we first came here, we were also unsatisfied with their decision to let us live in a thatched cottage that looked like a livestock shack. We also expressed our dissatisfaction." However, in the face of our dissatisfaction, the other side is even more brutal! At that time, the two people who were the most dissatisfied and the people who resisted the most fiercely were directly sealed by their Secret Method. After a fierce beating, he was hung on the city wall and exposed to the sun for ten days. Because the droplets of water had yet to exhaust themselves, and with the injuries from before, they actually died from the sun's rays. "That is a heaven-defying expert, yet he was still scorched to death by the sun just like that!"
After Island Owner Liu said this, his body trembled. From the looks of it, even if he did not say anything, he believed that although he did not die, his fate at that time was not that good.
After pausing for a moment, Island Owner Liu then continued, "Let alone a place to live, even their daily meals are inferior to the food given to them by the servants. Of course, they wouldn't give us anything to eat. "
As Island Owner Liu said this, he raised his head to look at the new arrivals of the 36 islands and saw the expressions of indifference on their faces. He immediately laughed in his heart.
"I know what you're thinking. Isn't it just food? With our cultivation level, so what if we don't eat for a few days? But what if it was too long? Also, I know that you must also be thinking that with our strength, we won't be able to get any food. There should also be strange beasts on this island. Even if there are no strange beasts on this island, there are still plenty of fish to catch in the surrounding seas.
"We originally thought the same. However, the other side did not allow us to catch the strange beasts on the island nor fish in the sea. They did not permit us to touch anything around us. In their words, everything here was theirs. We are outsiders, and we cannot touch their things. "
Island Owner Liu's face turned uglier the more he spoke: "Also, do you think that they would be so kind as to let us come here and help us raise our strength? Actually, they are just using us more. You should already know that this island has many children of important figures within their Holy Family. We're actually here to train with the children of those big shots. "
"Of course, if we act as sparring partners, our strength will also increase. After all, we will always be beaten up, so how can we not raise our strength?" If our powers do not increase, the Grand Island Owner will not send you here. However, this sparring partner was exceptionally dangerous. Actually, I'm not the first to come here. I'm the second. Counting the first batch of people, there are a total of fifty people from our two batches who came here. But now, other than the six that left, there aren't even twenty survivors from our two batches. "
"In short, you will know tomorrow."
