The three cages covered with red cloth were placed in the center of the circle. One of the cages was especially huge, almost reaching the ceiling.
"Hmm?"
However, Lu Yu roughly understood that there seemed to be something inside that attracted its attention.
The Underworld Tree could be said to be Lu Yu's most powerful skill. It was even a powerful divine item with a terrifying origin.
Could it be the treasure that the woman in the cheongsam mentioned that could attract its attention?
This warehouse was extremely large. In front of the three red cloth cages was a huge execution platform with many slaves 'corpses hanging on it, emitting a strong smell of blood.
One of them, a muscular man, let out a cruel voice. He held a whip and continuously whipped a male human-rabbit hybrid who was hung up. Every whip split open his skin and flesh, and blood seeped out from his wounds, dripping onto the ground and forming a pool of blood.
It was also because of this bloody scene that the slaves did not dare to escape.
After all, if they didn't run away, they would at most be sold. Their future was unknown, and they might even meet a good master. However, if they ran away, their outcome would definitely be extremely miserable.
Lu Yu glanced at the corpses of the various races that had been hung to death, but he did not say anything. After all, the slave trade was too common in this sea. Even if he saved a batch, they would still be captured.
All he could do was to protect the people around him and not fall into such a tragic situation.
As the princess of a country, Xu Changge was naturally not emotional. After all, she had seen more dark things than this.
As for the Queen of Specters, she tilted her head slightly. A few wisps of Ghost Mist quietly spread out from her body and swallowed a few souls that had just died.
After all, she had to save money for her master and be a good demoness who was thrifty and managed the household!
Stigma was disappointed when he saw that Lu Yu did not respond.
After all, he had seen Lu Yu's human-like appearance and was certain that Lu Yu was a big shot among the humans. He had thought that these young masters would have a sense of justice and might be hot-headed enough to buy most of the human slaves. Then, he would be able to make a fortune.
However, he did not expect that Lu Yu did not care about these slaves at all. It seemed that he could only wait for some kind nobles or righteous rangers to buy them.
After all, some holy rangers were their big customers. They often bought slaves in piles. It could be said that they were stupid and had a lot of money.
However, they did not know that since these people had become slaves, it meant that most of them had lost the protection of their countries or races. Even if they were released, they would only have a tragic end without strength.
These thoughts flashed through Stigma's mind. He knew that his little trick was useless, so he didn't waste any more time and tore off the red cloth of the cage.
Hualala!
The red cloth fell to the ground, and a huge iron cage that was fifteen meters tall appeared. Every iron pillar seemed to have been specially reinforced, shining with a black luster.
In the cage lay a huge elephant. It was almost eight meters tall and more than ten meters long. Its entire body, even its eyes, were covered in thick scales.
Its appearance was different from ordinary elephants. It looked as ferocious as a beast. There were four sharp tusks on both sides of its long trunk, which could easily penetrate the enemy.
It was lying on the ground, breathing out white gas with every breath. It seemed to be too tired and was accumulating strength.
"Moo…"
"This is the Earthshaking Golem, a powerful monster we captured in the primitive forest. In order to capture it, we sacrificed more than a dozen slave-catching teams, nearly a thousand people, to capture it. Those poor children had just reached adulthood, and the ship that transported it almost sank.
If you buy it, we'll give you a free whistle to enslave it. It'll be so cool if you bring it out, but it's a pity that those sacrificed children…"
Stigma squeezed out a few drops of tears as he spoke. His lizard face looked like crocodile tears.
Lu Yu naturally did not believe its nonsense. Would a person in charge of the slave trade association pity some slave catchers?
In his opinion, those guys were just hounds. In essence, they wanted to take the opportunity to raise the price!
Lu Yu looked at the huge Earth-Shaking Elephant and was quite satisfied. It seemed to be a good choice whether it was used as a mount or to extract materials.
However, he was not in a hurry to express his opinion. He looked at Stigma calmly.
The latter immediately stopped talking. He knew that the other party would not fall for his trick, so he smiled awkwardly and pulled open the second red cloth.
It was a normal-sized cage. The gap between the iron pillars had become much smaller. There seemed to be a golden bird standing quietly inside. There were red patterns on it, making it look especially beautiful.
Crow!
A golden crow?
Lu Yu was stunned when he saw the golden crow. If it had not been for the fact that it did not have a third leg, Lu Yu would have thought that it was the three-legged Golden Crow from the myths of his previous life.
It was the symbol of the sun that originated from ancient myths. Even in the myths of his previous life, they were the sun gods, in charge of the rise and fall of the sun.
However, this golden crow seemed to be a pure color mutation. Lu Yu did not feel any special magic power from it.
If it really was a creature as powerful as the Three-legged Golden Crow, how could it have been captured by a group of slave hunters?
Lu Yu glanced at him in disappointment. Xu Changge, who was beside him, sneered and expressed her disdain.
"The Red Moon Chamber of Commerce is getting worse and worse.”
Stigma said with an awkward smile. He had placed this crow here as his trump card because of its rare color and beautiful wings. In fact, it did not have many special abilities.
This kind of crow with a special appearance could be sold for a sky-high price if it met a silly and rich noble girl. However, if it was not found, it was very likely that it would be piled up in the hands of others.
However, Stigma didn't dare to fake his marketing to the mysterious big shot. He went forward and prepared to open the third cage.
The moment he stepped forward, Lu Yu felt a strange feeling in his heart.
As the red cloth fell, there were two silver-haired lolis inside. Their eyes were tightly shut as they curled up in the corner of the cage.
However, the most shocking thing about them was not their appearance, but their legs that were in a wooden state. They were intertwined like the roots of a tree, as if they were tightly connected to each other. It was strange but also a trace of beauty.
After seeing the twin lolis, the Underworld Tree shook slightly, but it was not excited.
It seemed more like…
Confusion?
