After this incident, Zhang Caidi is no longer as noisy as before.
It was a lot quieter along the way, and he followed Zhang Yifeng closely.
This is not surprising. Zhang Caidi has been living under the protection of Zhang Yonghua and has never encountered any real danger.
Ever since he was a child, Zhang Caidi has been able to accomplish whatever he wanted to do. But now that he has left the protection of the City Lord's Mansion, he realizes that there are people outside the mountain. The outside world is much more dangerous than the City Lord's Mansion.
times.
The sun shone on the earth again, and the sky finally dawned. Zhang Caidi, Zhang Yifeng, and Liu Dazhuang had also left the forest and were heading north.
The three of them flew for about two hours and saw a mountain range that was completely different from the usual mountains.
There are no trees on it, just rocks, and the rocks and soil are all red.
Liu Dazhuang looked at the red mountain range and said to Zhang Yifeng: "My lord, that is our forbidden land in Youzhou."
Zhang Yifeng observed it carefully and found that there was nothing different about the mountain range. Why was it called a forbidden area?
After continuing to fly forward for a while, Zhang Yifeng suddenly felt that the temperature here was much hotter than usual, and the closer to the mountain range, the higher the temperature.
I used to observe from a distance, but now I'm closer and I can see clearly that there are large and small earth bags in the mountains, and there is a hole in each small earth bag.
Isn't this the mouth of a volcano?
No wonder it's called a forbidden area. The crater is indeed extremely hot, and magma is constantly erupting from the crater. The surrounding stones are all red.
"It's so hot here. Is there any other way to go?" As the temperature got higher and higher, Zhang Caidi finally spoke. It could be seen that this little girl was particularly afraid of the heat.
Soaked with sweat, those perfect curves were also displayed in front of Zhang Yifeng's eyes.
Not to mention, looking at Zhang Caidi now, this little girl really has a special charm, and her figure is indeed first-rate. But, is Zhang Yifeng that kind of person?
"Yes. After passing this section, I will take you around this forbidden area, but it will take us several more hours to reach Baicao Gate."
Hearing what Liu Dazhuang said, Zhang Yifeng nodded. Liu Dazhuang led the way, while Zhang Yifeng and others followed closely behind.
At this time, bursts of screams suddenly came from below. Zhang Yifeng and Zhang Caidi looked down at the same time and saw countless people working around the volcano. They were digging into the mountains with shovels in their hands.
Each of these people was chained up, as if to prevent them from escaping. Zhang Yifeng was very puzzled, why are there so many people digging around this mountain range?
Zhang Caidi's face became a little ugly when she saw the screams of these people and their current embarrassed expressions.
She looked at Liu Dazhuang anxiously and asked: "What is going on? What crime did these people commit? And even if they committed a crime, why are so many people coming to dig up this mountain range?"
When Liu Dazhuang heard Zhang Caidi's question, he sighed: "Young lady, you don't know something. This mountain range is rich in a strange stone called blood-red spar. If this stone is used for alchemy, it can increase the success rate of the elixir."
Higher than before.”
"In addition, these people have not made any mistakes. They are just monks with low strength and are treated as slaves."
Hearing Liu Dazhuang's words, Zhang Yifeng and Zhang Caidi took a closer look. There was a sea of people around the mountain range, and from time to time there were several disciples wearing Shengdan Pavilion uniforms guarding them.
"These are all slaves of Shengdan Pavilion! This is the north, shouldn't it be managed by Baicao Sect?" Zhang Yifeng continued to ask Liu Dazhuang, because probably only Liu Dazhuang knows these things best.
"My benefactor doesn't know that the power of Shengdan Pavilion has spread throughout Youzhou. Although Baicao Sect is constantly becoming stronger, compared with Shengdan Pavilion, it is just a corner of the ocean."
"These slaves are all slaves of the disciples of Shengdan Pavilion. Each disciple has at least a dozen slaves. After becoming slaves, these people lose their freedom. Even life and death do not belong to them. They can only live here day and night.
Crystal is mined here.”
Hearing this, Zhang Yifeng clenched his fists. Now he finally knew why Shengdan Pavilion wanted the entire Youzhou to start slavery. This would indeed have many benefits for Shengdan Pavilion.
This endless mountain range is full of volcanic craters, is full of dangers, and the temperature is very high. Without slave mining, these crystals cannot be mined from it.
It turns out that this No. 1 sect in Youzhou also did some despicable things.
"Zhang Yifeng, I want to go down and teach these guys a lesson and let them go." Zhang Caidi spoke again, looking at the group of slaves below with firm eyes.
Zhang Yifeng has never seen this girl look so serious.
On the side, when Liu Dazhuang heard Zhang Caidi say this, he immediately dissuaded her: "Girl, you must not do this. If you do this, you will not only harm us, but also Baicaomen."
"Now Baicao Sect is slowly growing, and I believe it will be able to compete with Shengdan Pavilion in less than ten years. But if it turns against it now, Baicao Sect will be completely destroyed."
"The most important thing is that if the girl continues like this, not only will she not be able to save those slaves, but she will most likely lose her own life. Even though it is only a few disciples guarding it now, there are actually three or four Shengdan Pavilions around this forbidden area.
Elder, after all, this blood-red crystal stone is very important to Shengdan Pavilion."
Although Zhang Yifeng was also very angry, he knew what he should and should not do now. He looked at Zhang Caidi and said calmly: "Dazhuang is right, we can't save them now, and we can't save them."
"But! Are you just watching the people in Shengdan Pavilion act so wantonly, are you just watching these monks suffer?"
Although this colorful butterfly has a righteous heart, it is too young. Zhang Yifeng was a little helpless. He shook his head and said: "I know you want to save these slaves, but how many slaves like this are there in the entire Youzhou?"
Do you know? Can you save them? Besides, even if you save them now, where should they go? As long as they don't go to the city lord's palace, they will be suppressed or even captured. "
"With all due respect, the current strength of the City Lord's Palace cannot protect this group of people at all, so if we act rashly now, we will not save them but harm them. Do you understand?"
After listening to Zhang Yifeng's words, Zhang Caidi pursed her lips, lowered her head and stopped talking.
Just by looking at this girl's expression, you can tell that she is very unwilling.
Liu Dazhuang continued to lead Zhang Yifeng and Zhang Caidi around the volcanic mountains, and soon left the volcano for a distance, but he could still hear the screams clearly.
