Apart from a few panicked guys who ran to the entrance of the stone city and were killed outright, the soldiers who rushed in did not go on a killing spree.
Di Jiu, Cao Xi and all the captured men were all herded into a huge square. Di Jiu found that the first thing the victors did was to surround the prisoners, rather than occupy the defences and key places. It gave Di Jiu the impression that the prisoners were their most precious possession.
But at this moment Di Jiu did not care half as much, he was even a little pleased because his consciousness had already touched the rules of the language here. To him, as long as he touched the rules of language, the language of any place was the same. If he hadn’t been unable to use his divine mind and divine essence in this place, he would have been able to sense the rules of the language here as soon as he landed in this place, and it wouldn’t have taken him so long at all.
Those tall defeated soldiers were driven to this captive circle where Di Jiu was, just as they had been.
A man with an obese figure and wearing battle armour made of some unknown material walked with big strides to the top of the square, his gaze sweeping over the many people who, to him, were all his trophies of war.
“You are lucky, for my great winged tribe never kills prisoners.” The obese guy swept through before he then spoke with great satisfaction.
Di Jiu could feel that many people around him were relieved, it looked like there were other tribes that liked to kill captives besides this Great Wing tribe.
After the obese guy said that, his words changed, “However, my Great Wing clan does not take in waste either. From the time you arrive at our Great Wing clan, you will be going to build the Heavenly Witch River. The part of you who contribute the most can join my Great Wing clan and become a member of my Great Wing clan ……”
Following the fat guy talking about a bunch of rewards for building the Heavenly Witch River, Di Jiu was half concerned. But he did get some basic things, at least he knew that there was a Heavenly Witch River in this place, and this Heavenly Witch River seemed to be built by every clan. At the same time, Di Jiu also learned that the war between the tribes here seemed to be about catching the population and then going to build the Heavenly Witch River.
What he couldn’t understand was that since everyone wanted to build the Sky Witch River, they should just build it together, so why was there a war?
The Great Wing tribe was very crisp and sharp, and almost immediately after the fat guy finished speaking, they drove all the captives out of Stone City.
No one complained along the way, all of them were very cautious. Di Jiu soon figured out why all these captives were so cautious; as long as they followed the rules, there would be no problems. Anyone who dared to deviate from the prescribed direction of the route would immediately be shot.
“Di Jiu, it seems to me that this is a very old planet, at least one thing I am sure of, this planet is not in the Five Elements universe. What is strange is that these people have defeated the other side, yet they have discarded the other side’s territory and are going to escort all of us captives away what is the meaning of this?” Cao Xie, who was walking beside Di Jiu, spoke in a low voice.
Di Jiu affirmed, “Naturally it’s not the Five Elements Universe, I haven’t figured out what this place is yet. These people escorted us away because they need us to build the Heavenly Witch River. By the way, that fatty who spoke earlier is a chief of some big winged tribe ……”
“The Heavenly Witch River ……” Cao Xie muttered, repeating those three words several times, and suddenly looked at Di Jiu, his eyes became much brighter.
Di Jiu looked at Cao Xie and said, “Cao Xie, what do you mean by looking at me like that?”
Cao Xi called Di Jiu by his name, and Di Jiu was naturally not polite.
Cao Xi’s voice even trembled a little, “Di Jiu, if this place is really where I guess it is, maybe you can really fight against Du Bu ……”
Di Jiu frowned, thinking that if this place is where Cao Xi guessed, what does it have to do with him dealing with Du Bu?
Then Di Jiu thought of Du Bu and was once again in a bad mood. Du Bu was so powerful that there was nothing he could do about it even if he tried. I really don’t know how Du Bu had secretly calculated to drop him back then, this Du Bu was also a genius.
“Di Jiu, other people don’t know the shortcomings of Du Bu, but I know ……”
Before Cao Xie could finish his sentence, “Buzz!” With a sound, a leather whip fell from the air and directly hit Cao Xie’s eyebrow.
Di Jiu was greatly alarmed in his heart, he was sure that Cao Xie was at least a Saint Body flesh body. Even if the Saint Body had lost all of its cultivation, this whip wouldn’t make Cao Xie suffer.
Without waiting for the whip to land on Cao Xi’s head, Di Jiu hurriedly pounced over and blocked Cao Xi underneath him. At the same time, the strength of his back flesh body rapidly weakened as his mind moved.
Snap! Blood and flesh flew everywhere, this whip almost broke Di Jiu’s back, the bones in his back were already clearly visible.
“Huh ……” The whip didn’t hit Cao Xie, instead it just knocked the bones out of Di Jiu, instead he gave a startled eep and subconsciously looked at the leather whip in his hand.
Di Jiu, however, said loudly, “We will definitely work hard to build the Heavenly Witch River and wish the Great Wing tribe a long and prosperous life.”
Some of the captives around them, who did not know what was happening, hurriedly followed Di Jiu and shouted, “We will definitely work hard to build the Heavenly Witch River and wish the Great Wing tribe a long and prosperous life.”
A few soldiers of higher rank heard the noise and also came over to check the situation, and the soldier forgot to continue looking for trouble with Di Jiu for a while.
Seeing the soldier leave, Cao Xie looked at Di Jiu apologetically, she then thought that Di Jiu could not only understand the words here, but could also speak them.
In her heart, however, she was grateful to Di Jiu, if Di Jiu hadn’t come out to help her block the way, she might have exposed the strength of her physical body. At that time, she and Di Jiu would definitely not have been able to stay among the captives in such peace and quiet.
……
The group of captives walked for a day and a night without eating or drinking before they arrived at a gathering place.
The rest of the group was exhausted, but they had arrived at their destination.
The food provided by the Great Wing tribe was a large bowl of pitch black paste for each person, what kind of paste Di Jiu did not know, but he knew it was definitely not good. The others were all excited to pick up the big black bowls and each one ate extremely well.
Di Jiu and Cao Xi shared all the food with the few people next to them, and they immediately gained the goodwill of the people around them.
If there weren’t still soldiers around guarding the area, the first thing Di Jiu would have asked was Cao Xi, why did he say that he could now or could not fight against the ferry? The second thing to ask is where exactly is this place? What is the Heavenly Witch River and why is it being built.
Perhaps it was the next day that the Tian Wu River was to be built and that night all the captives were herded into a large basin. As long as they were herded into this basin and guarded the exit of the basin, it was guaranteed that none of them could escape from here.
Di Jiu was relieved that as long as there were no soldiers guarding the inside of the basin, then he could ask for everything he wanted. At the same time, Di Jiu could imagine that although the Great Wing tribe had not killed their group of captives, I was afraid that not many of them would survive in the end.
It would be strange if a group of people could live long when they were crammed into this basin at night, just drinking a bowl of black paste, and then having to repair the Heavenly Witch River the next day.
After all the captives had entered the basin and the guards had left, Di Jiu deliberately found an old man to whom he had given the black paste earlier and asked, “Senior, may I ask, what is this place? And what is the Heavenly Witch River?”
The old man looked at Di Jiu in amazement for a while before he said, “This is naturally the place of the Great Wing tribe, just how come you don’t know about the Heavenly Witch River?”
Di Jiu hurriedly lowered his voice, “My friend and I escaped from a distant place, we don’t have the Heavenly Witch River there ……”
The old man frowned for a while before saying, “That’s not possible, in the Heavenly Witch Realm, there are Heavenly Witch Rivers everywhere, how could there be no Heavenly Witch River?”
Di Jiu finally figured out that this place was the Heavenly Witch Realm, only he was even more confused about the Heavenly Witch River, a river was found in the whole realm, what kind of river was it?
