While Li Yi was leisurely enjoying his lunch time, a convoy of vehicles that looked miserable all over its body was slowly driving towards Luo Shi Town from the north.
Compared with when it first set out, the appearance of the Chen family's caravan had shrunk by almost half. The animals that were originally densely packed were completely consumed on the way. Even the dozens of slaves they bought with their connections were only eaten in the end. There is only one left, which shows how dangerous the journey through the abyss business road is this time.
Other than that, the people in the caravan are still safe and sound. After all, this is not the first time that they have run through the north and south ends of the Abyss Trade Road. However, presumably after this time, their boss Chen Zheng will adjust a better response strategy in the hope of getting Bigger gains.
Of course, even if the losses were heavy, there was still a lot of profit after such a trip.
Just that box of northern specialty wine can make up for almost all the losses.
And the rest is pure profit.
When I thought of this, everyone in the caravan, except the boss Chen Zheng, felt better.
They know very well that the boss is a generous person. The rewards given to them for every business trip are valuable. Even if it is just an ordinary servant, porter, guard, etc., the boss will reward them one by one. , will not treat anyone badly.
Among these people, the only one who is not happy is probably Heishan.
He is neither a steward nor a long-term guard. If we want to talk about a porter, he can be regarded as one. After all, the slaves suffered heavy losses in the later period, and he was the only one who could survive.
When he was in the north, Heishan was once the village chief of a village, with a happy family of four and a group of villagers who lived in harmony.
But the war destroyed all this.
The village ceased to exist overnight. The fire burned for three days and three nights without being extinguished, and he was the only survivor.
He stayed in the mountains for several days to pick an anti-fetal herb for his newly pregnant wife.
When Heishan returned to the village, he could only see the village that was completely blackened by the fire, as well as some scattered broken limbs.
He went crazy at that time, roaring like crazy and wanting to rush into the village. He was looking for the one in ten thousand possibility to find his wife and a pair of children.
However, as soon as he rushed to the entrance of the village, he was blocked by a halberd.
It was a general sitting on a tall horse, staring at the savage who appeared out of nowhere with cold eyes.
It is said that Montenegro stayed in the mountains for several days, and indeed he looked no different from a savage.
The general just glanced at him, waved the halberd in his hand, and said just one sentence to decide the fate of Montenegro.
"Take it away, this is my trophy. There are not many such strong slaves."
As a result, poor Heishan was forcibly detained by a group of soldiers and became a slave before he even had time to find the possible burial place of his wife and daughter.
After several twists and turns, he was bought by the Chen family's caravan, and eventually became the only slave who came to the Southern District alive.
Looking at this unfamiliar scene and thinking of his wife and daughter whose bodies were still cold in the far north, Heishan couldn't help but feel sad.
But he didn't cry loudly, he just stood there silently, his tower-like body blocking out a large amount of sunlight, making people feel an inexplicable coolness at noon in the hot summer.
"Hey, don't block the road here, get out of here."
While Heishan was thinking, a sound of scolding came from behind Leng Buding.
That's the caravan guy.
From a certain perspective, his Montenegro is not much different from the goods these guys are carrying.
Montenegro didn't say much, on the contrary, he silently stepped aside.
Although these people did not regard him as a human being, even though his identity was that of a slave.
But if it weren't for these people and the boss who bought him, he would have either been tortured to death by the general at the time or died of starvation and thirst while in exile.
And the reason why he has been enduring the humiliation is that he never said a word even when he became a slave.
In order to one day find the murderer who killed his wife and daughter and destroyed the village.
He wants revenge!
However, before taking revenge, Heishan knew that his own ability alone was obviously not enough to achieve anything, and in the north, he had no place at all.
You must know that any strong man, as long as he is seen by the army, will become cannon fodder for the army to attack the city.
Although Heishan realizes that he has that strength, he does not want to contribute to the continuation of this kind of war. Therefore, he would rather become a slave without saying a word and stay away from the northern battlefield, rather than become other people's cannon fodder and die in a certain battle inexplicably.
He didn't know that someone had noticed him as soon as he appeared.
The explosive muscle lines, burly body, and surging vitality immediately made Li Yi notice the northerner who came with the caravan.
And when Li Yi learned some information through the system, he made up his mind in just a moment.
I want this person!
"Host, this person has the bloodline characteristics of the descendants of the ancient gods. You see, his muscle lines are not dark black like ordinary people. It is said that one of the descendants of the ancient gods once made artifacts for the ancient gods. Later generations, they have been with the furnace for a long time and exercised a lot, so their muscle lines show a strange deep black color."
Li Yi raised his eyebrows when he heard this. This was a fact that he had never thought of.
"You mean this big guy is good at making weapons?"
To be honest, although Li Yi has a lot of weapons, so far, the only one he is satisfied with is his own pair of fists.
Those external objects are not very handy weapons for him.
But you can't always fight the enemy with your hands.
The enemies he may encounter in the future will be stronger than the last, and sooner or later they will exceed the limits of his body, although he is also working hard to push the limits of his body higher.
But it’s not a solution anyway.
Therefore, a long time ago, he had the idea of creating a handy weapon.
It's just that mechas don't seem to be good at this kind of personally customized weapons. What the system can produce are more standard weapons that are unlocked after the mecha system is upgraded.
It’s not that it’s bad, it’s just that everyone knows that standard weapons mean that anyone can use them, while customization means that the adaptability to individuals has reached a maximum value.
The kind that is irreplaceable.
Therefore, when he learned that the black man in front of him might be good at making weapons, Li Yi immediately became interested.
However, the system's next words were no less than a pour of cold water on his head.
"It's hard to say. After all, the descendants of the ancient gods happened a long, long time ago. No one knows whether their descendants still have that kind of crafting talent, but the host might as well give it a try and see what kind of talent this person has in the caravan. His status seems to be very low, so it shouldn’t cost much to capture him.”
Li Yi was a little surprised when he heard this.
Unexpectedly, the system even analyzed the price issue for him.
It seems that the learning ability of this system has become stronger again!
With that in mind, he didn't say much.
After all, he had experienced several system awakenings before, and he wouldn't be that surprised even if there was one more.
Li Yi thought for a while, wiped his mouth, stood up, and walked towards the busy Chen family caravan.
