Chapter 635: Human Race Under the Red Devil Mountain
The Red Devil Mountain residential area is a valley surrounded by huge red natural rocks.
The red stones all around are towering into the sky, and walking among the red boulders will make people feel fear unconsciously.
The ground is a dark red color and is fairly flat underfoot, with gravel laid out in regular patterns on both sides of the road.
On the red boulder walls on both sides of the road, there is a deep cave entrance at regular intervals.
The cave entrance appeared a little abrupt on the stone wall, and the inside of the cave was pitch black.
Standing outside the cave entrance, it is impossible to see what is going on inside the cave. Qianqian was alert and took every step carefully.
[Tongzi, we are already here, can you eat the melon? ]
Qian Qian asked cautiously.
The system pondered, [Money, I can taste some melon. ]
【But for more details, please give me some more time. 】
[Now I can only be sure of one thing, no matter the group of people who stole Xiaoba and Xiaojiu's food. 】
[It's Xiao Ba and Xiao Jiu again. They are both related to the immortal hiding in Red Devil Mountain. ]
[And that immortal is different from the one who was struck to death by the thunderbolt. The one from Red Devil Mountain is very weak.]
【Weak? 】
Qian Qian frowned in confusion and felt his hand being gently squeezed.
When he looked down, he saw Xiao Ba's blue eyes looking at him worriedly. He smiled at Xiao Ba and said, "Is your home here?"
Xiao Ba shook his head, "No,"
"Heh," the young man behind Ah Da sneered, interrupting Xiao Ba's words, "Are these lower-humans worthy?"
"Cough, cough," Ah Da coughed dryly a few times and glanced at the young man who spoke.
The young man closed his mouth in disappointment and glared at Xiao Ba with disdain.
Xiao Ba shrank his neck, and Qian Qian’s warm hand held his hand even tighter.
Xiao Ba looked up at the old lady with white hair but a very young face.
Thinking of the delicious meat buns just now, he pursed his lips and said with determination, "We are the human race under the Red Devil Mountain."
"They," he quickly glanced at Ah Da, "are the human race on Red Devil Mountain."
Qian Qian curled her lips and sneered, "Oh, the lower human race, the upper human race," she paused, "Are there only two of you in Red Devil Mountain?"
"No," Xiao Ba shook his head, "There are still immortals in Red Devil Mountain, but they don't live here."
Qian Qian raised his eyebrows and looked at A Da with a smile, and A Da turned his head away angrily.
Recalling something, she asked again, "So, where do you live?"
"inside."
Xiao Ba pointed to the small path between two huge rocks in the southwest corner. The path was narrow and people with a slightly fat body might not be able to enter.
Qianqian stopped in front of the path and turned to look at Ada.
"You guys want to go together?"
Ah Da curled his lips in disdain, "The old lady has thought it through, as long as you step into the gathering place of the lower human race."
"From now on, you will be part of the human race under the Red Devil Mountain," he stared at Xiao Ba and Xiao Jiu with his wolf-like eyes, "Humph."
He snorted coldly and said no more, but the faces of the two children, Xiaoba and Xiaojiu, turned visibly pale.
Qian Qian squeezed their hands and said gently, "Didn't you say you would take me to meet your mother and mother-in-law?"
"Let's go."
Xiao Ba didn't take a step, but Xiao Jiu looked at his brother with his big eyes blinking.
It seemed that if her brother didn't move, she wouldn't move either.
Qian Qian smiled, half squatted down and rubbed the heads of the two little guys, "Let's go, the old woman is very powerful."
“I am responsible for my own choices.”
Xiao Ba stared at the old lady in front of him, frowned, thought for a long time before slowly nodding.
Qian Qian took Xiao Ba and Xiao Jiu's hands again, and without even looking at A Da and his group, they walked into the narrow path.
Ah Da stared at the back of the white-haired old woman for a long time, "Humph, idiot."
Qianqian, who had sharp eyes and ears, could not escape the noise behind her, and the corners of her mouth twitched.
[How is Tongzi? ]
[Here in Red Devil Mountain, what do the so-called upper human race, lower human race, and fairy envoy race mean? ]
[Woo woo woo,] the system was a little anxious, [Money, this red devil melon is really hard to eat.]
He was silent for a moment, [All I know now is that the three tribes of Red Devil Mountain each have their own responsibilities.]
[For example, the upper human race is basically composed of young men under 20 years old from the immortal envoy race. ]
[The reason they came to live in Red Devil Mountain was to look after the human race. ]
Qian Qian closed his eyes and said, "No wonder, I didn't see any elderly people in the upper human settlement just now."
[Yes,] the system said, [the upper human race is basically made up of children from the immortal envoy race.]
[When they are about 10 years old, they will be sent to the Red Devil Mountain for training. Managing the human race is only a part of the training. ]
[Whether they can survive in Red Devil Mountain for five years is the real test for them.]
[You know, there are no plants growing in Red Devil Mountain and water is scarce. ]
[If you want to hunt, you have to leave Red Devil Mountain and walk for a long time. It is not easy to survive in Red Devil Mountain for five years and return to the Fairy Clan in good health. ]
[Regarding the Immortal Envoy Clan, I can’t get more information for the time being. ]
[However,] the system took a deep breath, [I do know a little more about the lower human race.]
【Well, you say.】
Qianqian listened very seriously, but that didn't stop her from looking up from time to time.
There are two huge rock peaks on both sides of the path, as if they were carved out by a knife.
The red stone peak pierced straight into the sky. From her perspective, looking up, it seemed as if the red stone peak was imprisoning the sky.
Only a ray of blue sky is left for the world, Qian Qian couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
The system said at this time, [The lower human race is more miserable, they can never leave the Red Devil Mountain for the rest of their lives. ]
[Except for the boys and girls selected by the Immortal Envoys to be sacrificed to the Immortal on Red Devil Mountain, all other people, regardless of life or death, are not allowed to leave Red Devil Mountain for the rest of their lives.]
Money money...
[This is ridiculous.]
She held the two children's hands tightly, [What is the purpose of imprisoning the lower human race like Xiaoba and Xiaojiu in the Red Devil Mountain? ]
[Haha,] the system sneered, [We will know soon.]
As soon as he finished speaking, the long and narrow path finally became clear.
A large open space appeared in front of me, and various simple tools on the space seemed to be used for mining operations.
Qian Qian glanced over the tools and was unconsciously attracted by the faint light.
I saw a dot on the bright red and flat stone wall, flashing a faint light of mixed green, white and red.
The dim light is soft and comfortable, and one glance at it makes people feel refreshed and relaxed.
【Tong, Tongzi? 】
The system laughed, [Hahaha, did you feel it? ]
[Qianqian, this is the only spiritual stone vein in this small world. ]
[Spiritual stone?]
I don’t really understand money.
The system immediately explained, "Spiritual stones are completely different from the energy stones we discovered before. One can be used for human cultivation."
【And the other one can only be used as an energy-driven tool. 】
Money money...
[So, these lower humans here...]
She looked at the group of men, women, old and young who had stopped what they were doing and were looking at her warily.
The oldest among them looked to be in their seventies or eighties, and the youngest was still in swaddling clothes, tied to their mother's chest.
At this time, the men, women, young and old of the Lower Human Tribe slowly gathered together.
The vigilance in their eyes made Qianqian feel uncomfortable.
【right. 】
The system's voice was extremely indifferent. [The mission of the human race at the foot of Red Devil Mountain is to mine spiritual stones for the immortal hiding in Red Devil Mountain to cultivate.]
Money money...
