When Beauty Meets Beasts

766 Slave War

The next day was the monthly trading day of the Blazing Flame Tribe. Many beasts gathered in the open space to the east of the tribe and displayed the goods they needed to trade. The local beasts called it East City.

Most of the things here were done using barter. Very few people used crystals.

It was not because they did not accept crystals but because crystals were too rare. Very few people here could have crystals.

Shuang Yin was bored and was pulled out of the tent by her three brothers to join in the fun in East City.

Compared to the trading market in Rock City, the market here was much smaller, but it was still very interesting to the wolf brothers, who had never been here before.

They looked left and right, like huskies that had run away. In the blink of an eye, they were gone.

Shuang Yin didn’t mind either.

In any case, those three guys were already two-starred soul beasts. Ordinary beasts were no match for them at all. She did not have to worry about them being bullied.

East City was especially lively today. There were beasts everywhere.

Shuang Yin walked around but didn’t find anything of interest. She was about to go back when she saw a group of male beasts appear at the entrance to East City.

The male beasts were all naked. Their hands were tied with ropes, and there were brands on their necks.

It was a brand that war slaves had.

When these war slaves appeared in East City, they immediately attracted the attention of many beasts.

Under everyone’s gaze, the war slaves were brought to the empty space in the middle of East City.

The attendant in charge of the war slaves raised his whip and whipped the backs of these war slaves. He shouted sternly, “Kneel!”

Most of the war slaves looked numb. When the whip landed on their backs, their flesh immediately split open. None of them cried out in pain. They just bent their knees and knelt down one by one.

Perhaps they had resisted once, but they were numb to the pain now.

Wasn’t it just kneeling? It didn’t matter.

Only one of the male beasts remained standing.

No matter how the attendant whipped him, he refused to kneel.

This scene attracted the voices of many nosy people.

In any case, they were watching the commotion and laughed at the attendant. “You can’t even discipline a war slave well. You can stop being an attendant and go home!”

The attendant was so angry that his face turned red. He became more and more ruthless when whipping the war slave.

Soon, the back of the war slave was mangled.

Shuang Yin stood in the crowd, her gaze on the only standing war slave.

The war slave seemed to sense her gaze.

He suddenly looked up at her.

Their eyes met.

The war slave’s face was dirty, and his hair was messy. He looked very sloppy and ugly, but Shuang Yin liked his eyes.

They were very bright and had strong vitality.

A person like him should not become a slave.

Shuang Yin thought to herself.

No matter how the attendant whipped the war slave, he could not make him kneel. In the end, the attendant had no choice but to call two of his companions to grab the war slave and kick his knees.

But they didn’t dare kick him too hard.

If his bones were broken, this war slave would be worthless.

The slave master beside was getting impatient. “Alright, alright. Stop fighting. Sell them all first. We’ll deal with him later.”

The attendant quickly nodded and bowed. “Yes, yes.”

The workers began to sell. Each war slave was priced at ten pieces of good animal hide. If there was food that could be stored for a long time, it could also be exchanged for a slave.

War slaves were a very good labor force. They were stronger than ordinary livestock and slaves. Under normal circumstances, few people would sell war slaves. It was a rare sight today.

Some of the richer beasts were a little tempted. The price of ten animal hides was not cheap, but if they had war slaves to help them work, they could earn back their capital by hunting prey.

There were constantly beasts bidding to choose the battle slaves they liked to bring back.

Only the war slave who was always standing was not picked.

The reason was simple.

This person looked like a troublemaker. Not only would he not work when they bought him, but he might also cause trouble.

No one would spend money to be a fool.

The other war slaves were quickly sold, leaving only the one standing.

The war slave stared at Shuang Yin without moving.

He didn’t seem to be begging for her help. He seemed to be provoking her.

Shuang Yin smiled.

Interesting…

The attendant pushed the war slave and tightened his grip on the whip in his hand. He smiled rather sinisterly. “Watch how I deal with you later!”

The slave master was very dissatisfied with this war slave who could not be sold for money. From the looks of it, he did not intend to stop the attendant from teaching him a lesson.

Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that if they brought this war slave back, he would definitely die.

At this moment, Shuang Yin walked over.

“I’ll buy him.”

Everyone was stunned.

Even the war slave looked surprised.

When the slave master saw that there was business to be made and the other party was a cool young female, he immediately smiled. “Ten animal hides. The price is fair.”

Shuang Yin said, “I don’t have animal hides.”

She did have a few hides in her luggage, but she had no intention of selling them.

Hearing her words, the slave master immediately stopped smiling. “How are you going to buy a war slave without animal hides?”

Shuang Yin took out a colorless crystal. “I can buy him with this.”

The slave master’s gaze was immediately glued to the colorless crystal. His face was filled with greed as he hurriedly nodded. “Yes, yes! Of course!”

Shuang Yin placed the colorless crystal in his hand.

The slave master picked up the crystal and examined it against the sun.

Although it was only the lowest-grade colorless crystal, the quality was very good. The texture was crystal clear. Not to mention one war slave, he could even offer up five war slaves for this colorless crystal.

He quickly stuffed the colorless crystal into the hide bag he carried with him as if he was afraid that the other party would go back on the deal. He quickly closed the bag. “This war slave is yours.”

Shuang Yin extended her hand. “Give it to me.”

The attendant reluctantly handed her the rope.

Shuang Yin tugged at the rope. “Let’s go.”

The war slave, who had been motionless like a rock, seemed to have come to his senses. He followed her obediently.

Not long after they left, a young and handsome male beast arrived in East City. He was wearing the most popular cotton robe and had a rather brightly colored belt around his waist.

Behind him were four male beasts. They looked like his servants.

The slave master was about to pack up and go home when he was stopped by the young male beast.

The young male beast asked, “Have you sold all your war slaves?”

“That’s right!”

Upon hearing this, the young male beast was furious. “Who asked you to sell all of them? If you sell all of them, where else am I supposed to go to buy them?!”

The slave master looked confused.

Was it his fault that business was good?

The young male beast asked, “Who bought the war slaves?”

“I-I don’t know.” The slave master was also an outsider and was unfamiliar with this place. How could he know who the buyers were?

However, the attendant beside him rolled his eyes and suddenly had a plan.

He took the initiative to say, “The last war slave was bought by a female.”

“What female?”

“It’s a tall female wolf with long black hair. She’s quite good-looking.”
