At the edge of the pine forest, Zhou Qiubai and Yang Guyun were crouching behind the trees, taking in everything in sight.
"Slave Hunting Squad." Zhou Qiubai said, "The imperial law strictly prohibits slavery, but these people are blatantly doing so."
Also, the laws of the empire are for the common people, but for the nobles...
If I am in a good mood, then I will accept this method. If I am in a bad mood...
Haha~
Yang Guyun stared at the Ice Bear family emblem. "Marquis of the Northern Border, Ice Bear Martial Soul, their clan has guarded Heaven Dou Northern Xinjiang for three hundred years, and the family has more than a thousand private soldiers."
"Marquis~" Zhou Qiubai raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "Are you afraid?"
Yang Guyun did not answer, but raised the tip of the gun slightly.
"Thirty guards, there are five Soul Elder, and the rest are Soul Grandmaster and ordinary people." Zhou Qiubai quickly analyzed, "Scarface should be the leader, Soul Power is around level 45, the others are not of concern."
"How to fight?"
"Old rules." Zhou Qiubai held the hilt of the sword at his waist, "You break the formation from the front, and I will harvest from the side. Save the civilians first to avoid accidental injuries."
Yang Guyun nodded, First Soul Ring quietly lit up.
Zhou Qiubai silently circled the flank.
White Clothes flashed in the pine forest, and in an instant it was close to the last carriage.
In the mountain col, Scarface man had just taken a sip of wine when his heart suddenly jumped.
That is an intuition honed through life and death.
"Alert!" he shouted hoarsely.
Before he finished speaking, a bolt of black lightning broke through the forest.
The tip of the spear came out of its hole like a poisonous dragon and pierced Scarface man's throat.
The speed is so fast that it even pulls out the afterimage.
Scarface Man Soul Power burst out, Ice Bear's shadow appeared behind him, Second Soul Ring lit up, his arms were instantly covered with ice armor, and he crossed to block.
"Clang!"
The sound of gold and iron was deafening, the ice armor exploded, Scarface man took several steps back, his arms were numb, and his eyes were filled with fear.
The penetrating power of this shot far exceeded his expectation.
What's even more frightening is that the young man holding the gun didn't stop at all. The gun body shook, and the second shot was stabbed at the tall and thin man next to him.
The tall and thin man only had time to release Martial Soul, but before Soul Skill could be released, the tip of the gun had already pierced his chest, and blood spattered out, instantly staining the ground red.
"Enemy attack! Form formation!" Scarface man roared.
The guards woke up from the panic, and Soul Ring lit up one after another.
Five Soul Elder rushed to the front, swords coming out, and Soul Skill's rays of light intertwined.
Yang Guyun does not change color, Returnless Spear sweeps across, and the third Soul Ring flashes.
The gun body vibrated with ripples visible to the naked eye, and five weapons were shattered at the same time.
Taking advantage of this gap, Yang Guyun stepped forward and connected with the tip of his spear.
Two Soul Grandmaster fell to the ground with blood spattered from their throats.
But after all, the guards were well-trained and quickly stabilized their position.
Three Soul Elder surrounded Yang Guyun from three directions, blocking Yang Guyun's escape route.
"Boy, no matter where you are from, you will die here today." The Scarface man smiled ferociously, "Fourth Soul Skill, Ice Bear Roar!"
The fourth Soul Ring bloomed with purple light, and he opened his mouth to spit out a stream of extremely cold ice mist. The ground was frosted and the air was frozen wherever it passed.
This is a range control technique. Once enveloped by ice fog, your movements will be greatly slowed down.
Yang Guyun's eyes narrowed and he was about to attack and break the situation...
A white shadow passed by like the wind.
When the sword light lit up, Scarface man realized that there was someone on the flank.
He turned around sharply, and the ice armor condensed again, only to see that the sword light did not stab him, but lightly crossed the backs of the three Soul Elder.
Like the spring breeze blowing through the willows, there is no trace left.
The movements of the three Soul Elder froze at the same time, and the Soul Skill in their hands collapsed.
They touched their necks blankly and felt warmth. When they lowered their heads, they discovered that blood was gushing out from between their fingers.
"Uh..."
The three of them fell to the ground softly and lost their breath.
Zhou Qiubai put away the sword, White Clothes is not stained with dust.
He didn't even look at the three people, his eyes fell on the chain. "Who has the key?"
The locked people were stunned. It wasn't until the boy repeated it again that someone trembled and said, "On, on Scarface's waist..."
Scarface The man's face turned pale and he turned around to escape, but it was too late.
A Black Spear stood in front of him, with the tip of the gun pressed against his throat. Yang Guyun's eyes were colder than the north wind. "Key."
"Here, here you go..." The Scarface man trembled as he took off the key chain and threw it over, his voice trembling, "Two heroes, spare your lives! We are just following orders, these slaves are the goods Marquis Mansion wants, you are so noble..."
Zhou Qiubai took the key and started to unlock the door for people.
The chains clattered to the ground, some people knelt down and cried bitterly, and some looked around blankly, unable to believe the facts in front of them.
Are they saved?
The boy who had been whipped stood up and bowed deeply to Zhou Qiubai: "Thank you so much, my benefactor!"
"Can I leave?" Zhou Qiubai asked.
"Yes!" the boy replied.
"Take them, go south, and don't look back." Zhou Qiubai pointed in the direction, "There are villages and towns thirty miles away. Report them to the officials when you arrive. Although it may not be useful, at least it can be temporarily resettled."
Although slave hunting has become a preset rule for the nobles, as long as the matter is serious, someone will definitely help to open fire.
The young man nodded heavily, helped his sister up, and called to the others, "Everyone, follow me!"
More than thirty people supported each other and staggered away into the pine forest.
There were only Zhou Qiubai, Yang Guyun, the man Scarface paralyzed on the ground, and a dozen bodyguards left in the col.
"Now, let's talk." Zhou Qiubai squatted in front of Scarface, tapping the tip of his sword on the ground, "What does Marquis of the Northern Territory want so many slaves? Where is the mine? Who is the handover point?"
Scarface The man's eyes flickered, as if he was thinking of escaping, "I, I don't know..."
There was a flash of sword light, and Zhou Qiubai's sword tip instantly touched his finger.
"I ask, you answer." Zhou Qiubai's tone was still calm, "If you keep talking nonsense, it will be your whole hand next time."
"I say! I say!" Scarface man burst into tears, "The Marquis found a Black Ice Iron Mine in Northern Territory, which requires a large number of miners, but the cost of recruiting workers is too high, so, let us arrest civilians to recharge... The handover point is at an abandoned post station twenty miles north of Black Stone City, and the people from the Marquis Mansion will pick up the goods there..."
"How many people are sent each time?"
"Ranging from three to thirty to fifty... Two batches are delivered every month."
Zhou Qiubai and Yang Guyun looked at each other, and they both knew in their hearts that this was only the size of Marquis of the Northern Territory and Slave Hunting Squad.
As for the entire Douluo Continent, there are many more such Slave Hunting Squad.
"Marquis Mansion Who is involved in this matter?" Yang Guyun asked.
"Yes, it is Third Young Master who is in charge, Bing Wuhen, he is level 48 Soul Ancestor."
"Mining location."
"At the edge of Ice-Sealed Forest, only the people at Third Young Master know the specific coordinates. We are only responsible for delivering them to the inn."
Zhou Qiubai stood up and looked at Yang Guyun: "What do you think?"
"Kill."
"That's what I mean too." Zhou Qiubai nodded and said to Scarface, "Give you a chance and take us to the handover point. If you do a good job, I will spare your life."
Scarface The man kowtowed repeatedly, with fear on his face. "I will lead the way, lead the way!"
The abandoned inn is quietly hidden deep in the valley, surrounded by dense woods.
At this time, three carriages slowly drove into this hidden valley.
