Chapter 45 Slave Trader
Little Spring healed Grandpa's hand, making him feel no pain at all. At this time, the old man was really stunned, staring at Little Spring with wide eyes, his newly healed fingers trembling as he pointed at Little Spring, his lips moving but unable to say anything.
The old lady was watching him laugh loudly on the side. The son was even more hilarious, after confirming Xiao Chun Tian's miracle with his father, he started to search all over his body, hoping to find a place that didn't match, but after searching several times, he couldn't find any, and got so angry that he wanted to cry, in a fit of rage, he was about to hit his own hand with a stick, but was stopped by the old lady and grandfather who had reacted. This made Xiao Liu Xing dizzy for a while, and Xiao Chun Tian burst out laughing.
After that, Xiaoliu Xing stayed in the village for another day. Under the publicity of the family, villagers who were ill came to their home one after another. Xiaoliu Xing treated them all with ease, and naturally, he used his Spring Healing Hand technique. The illnesses of these villagers were mostly internal injuries, similar to that of the old man's.
Little Spring's natural healing abilities were a wonder to behold, and the entire village was both thrilled and amazed by her gift. They called her "The Life Girl", and this nickname spread as people from the village traveled to other places. However, many who had not seen it for themselves did not believe it.
After staying for a day, Xiaoliu Xing and Xiaochun Tian set off on their journey. Before they left, the kind villagers had prepared some gold coins as payment for treating the illness, but they didn't want them. They weren't short of that little money, and they also knew that those villagers themselves were not wealthy.
Little Meteor and Little Spring continued to walk along the unfamiliar road, until around afternoon when they suddenly ran into a group of people. There were over 50 people in that group, all riding on a kind of magical beast that Little Meteor had never seen before, which looked similar to horses. They carried huge swords, over two meters long and as wide as a palm, it was clear at first glance that they were warriors.
These people are quite capable, the weakest among them is a third-level warrior, and there's also an advanced warrior, level 6. He's walking alone at the front, seemingly the leader of this group. His sinister eyes scan around, giving off an aura that he's not someone to be trifled with. Under his lead, they're slowly heading in the direction of Little Meteorite, their subordinates chatting and laughing loudly as they walk, looking excited. Judging from their appearance, it's likely that Little Meteorite is also from Meisha Town.
Apart from the more than 50 warriors, there were also over 20 horse-drawn carriages in between them. Of course, it wasn't horses that were pulling the carts, but rather magical beasts similar to those they rode. On each carriage, there were three cages covered with cloth.
Those cages were also the reason why Xiaoliu Xingxing paid attention to this group of people. Inside those cages, Xiaoliu Xingxing and Xiaochuntian's divine sense had long seen that they were all beastmen! Moreover, most of them were middle-aged male beastmen, and a small number were young female cat tribe and fox tribe women!
Upon seeing the situation in the cage, Xiaoliang immediately thought of what Zhongma Tou and others had told him before - "Slave traders!", some humans would secretly sneak into the beastman tribes, capture some strong single male beastmen and beautiful female beastmen to sell in the human world.
Although the Beastman Empire has caught many times and executed those people, due to the huge profits of this line, there are still many people who secretly come in. The Beastman Empire's army cannot protect every single beastman, so some people will still be able to succeed.
Those male beastmen are generally bought by humans as guards or laborers, while female beastmen are bought to serve as maids for the nobles, or rather, as tools for their lust. It's truly pitiful. The root of all evil is lust, this is something that Xiaoliu has known since childhood, so she especially dislikes those lechers.
So after hearing the words of Zhong Ma Tou, he decided that if he encountered them, he would definitely kill those slave traders or people who abused beastmen slaves. He didn't expect to encounter one just three days after leaving the Beastmen tribe, and it was their bad luck. Xiao Liu Xing thought to himself.
However, before Little Meteor and Little Spring could go find trouble with them, they came to actively look for trouble with Little Meteor and Little Spring. When they were still over 200 meters away from Little Meteor and Little Spring, the leader saw the two of them, then instructed someone next to him, who listened to his words and also looked at Little Meteor and Little Spring, excitedly shouting loudly before accelerating towards Little Meteor and company.
One of the companions rushed out of the team, naturally attracting the attention of other companions. Along his direction, everyone saw Xiaoliu Xing and Xiaochun Tian. At the same time, they also guessed the reason why that companion ran out.
They immediately shouted a few sentences excitedly to their companion. Only knowing a little bit of human vocabulary, Xiaoliu and Xiaochun didn't understand what they were saying and didn't care what they said either. They simply turned around and quietly waited for the person to come over - to send them to their deaths!
In 200 meters, the warrior only took a dozen seconds to run over. When he ran in front of Xiaochun Tian and Xiaoliu Xing, seeing their calm expressions, he was slightly stunned for a moment. It was his first time seeing kids with such great courage. "Maybe I can get a good price," he thought to himself.
He spoke to Little Meteor in his warmest and most gentle voice, with the kindest smile, asking: "Little friend, why are you two here? Where are your grown-ups?" Unfortunately, Little Meteor couldn't understand him at all and didn't respond.
Looking at the two children in front of him, still expressionless after asking his question, he became a bit enraged. He changed his previous expression to a ferocious and sinister one, pulled out the giant sword that was originally behind his back, and swung it while repeating what he had just said. The result was naturally the same as before.
"Good grief, two fools, still thinking they can get a good price. Normally, kids would have burst into tears seeing such a scene, but these two didn't react at all, so in his mind, they were naturally foolish."
Just as he was about to strike the little meteorite, the warrior suddenly felt a severe pain in his head. Before he could react, he fell off his mount, losing consciousness completely.
He fell down without warning, leaving the tactics behind him still shouting and joking with him completely stunned. Many words were stuck in his throat and couldn't be said. The leader reacted quickly, after the soldier fell off the horse, he was slightly dazed for a moment, then sent two more soldiers to come up together.
When the two warriors accelerated to the front of Little Meteor, they didn't even glance at Little Meteor and Little Spring. After stopping, they dismounted their horses and began to examine the condition of their companion. With their eyesight, of course, nothing could be seen. Just as they were about to explain the situation to their leader, Little Meteor's spiritual impact also arrived. Similarly, two eyes rolled over, not even a sound was made, and he fell to the ground without getting up.
The two people who were just sent out also fell down silently, and the leader who was a little calm at first began to get a bit nervous. At first, he thought it was because of some sudden illness that they had fallen down, but now the two soldiers behind him had also fallen down without any reaction, definitely something was wrong. However, he didn't suspect Little Liuxing, after all, they were just two kids. He ordered their entire convoy to stop, and the leader led 10 subordinates to come over together to take a look.
They had just started, but suddenly stopped again, because they saw the two green flames floating on Xiao Chun Tian's hands. Fire system magician? But aren't fire supposed to be yellow? How did it turn green? And isn't the fireball technique supposed to shoot out as soon as it appears? Why is she holding onto it like that? Isn't she already a 6th level mage at such a young age? This series of questions not only stumped the leader, but also everyone who saw the flames on Xiao Chun Tian's hands.
After killing three leaders with spiritual impact, Xiaoliu Xing decided to take the initiative this time, but he wanted Xiaochun Tian to come and train her a bit. In the future, when mixing in this place, it's inevitable that there will be battles, and when fighting, one can't be soft-hearted towards their own enemies. Xiaochun Tian had killed monsters in the Magic Beast Forest before, but never humans. So Xiaoliu Xing decided to train her a bit, after all, she was almost 9 years old now and had some mental endurance.
However, before letting Xiaochun take action, Xiaoliu Xing told her about the wickedness of these people to make her feel better. As for the way to kill them, Xiaoliu Xing also helped her choose a method using her cultivated Three Flavors True Fire, so there would be no bloodshed. With just two or three moves, they could burn them into ashes.
Little Spring didn't disappoint Little Shooting Star. When she heard that those people were all robbers, who had bought many people to be slaves, she said in a fierce voice: "Brother, they are all bad guys, so brother should kill them all." This made Little Shooting Star feel a sense of admiration; "This little girl's inner strength is more formidable than I imagined." But Little Shooting Star told her that when it was time for her to take action herself, she wasn't afraid at all, but rather felt a bit excited.
Little Meteor didn't know that two years ago, when he killed those dog-headed men, the scene had already moved Little Spring to act on her own, but Little Meteor hadn't told her to take action and she herself hadn't said anything about it. Who would have thought that now her brother was taking the initiative to let her take action to punish the bad guys? Her heart was excited beyond control, as could be seen from the corners of her mouth rising high on both sides.
Two blue flames, under Xiaochun's control, split into over a hundred small sparks, which grew into fireballs. The fireballs surrounded the bandits and then charged at them while they were stunned. Those who reacted slowly were directly hit and turned to ashes in two or three hits. Those who reacted quickly, like the leader, saw the fireball flying towards him and drew his heavy sword from his back to slash at it. Unfortunately, the flames melted the sword instantly.
They were so scared that they quickly dropped their weapons, jumped off their mounts and started dodging left and right. Unfortunately, there were too many fireballs, and with Xia Chun Tian's control, those people only managed to live for another minute or two. As for the leader, Xiao Liu Xing had Xia Chun Tian burn him for a while longer. As the leader, he was a great evil and couldn't be allowed to die so easily.
For the first time killing, Xiaochun Tian's heart was indeed a little scared, although at the beginning, her heart was excited. However, since she had seen Xiaoliu Xing kill many times those beastmen in the Ma Tou Ren tribe before, the fear didn't last long and was forgotten, especially when Xiaoliu Xing sent her to rescue those beastmen trapped in cages, which made her forget the impact of killing for the first time.
The beastmen were all released, and Xiaoliu directly let them ride the traffickers' mounts back. Since those cages were covered with cloth, they didn't know that Xiaochuntian had killed the traffickers. However, since Xiaochuntian was the one who released them, they were still very grateful to him and listened to Xiaoliu's words, riding the traffickers' mounts directly towards the Beastmen Empire. Most of those people were adult males, so Xiaoliu didn't need to worry about them.
