Arcane Universe - Chapter13

When Feng Chou reappeared in the Bear Goblin's house, only an hour and twenty minutes had passed, but Feng Chou looked like a completely different person.

After leaving the Qiankun Pagoda, Feng Chou quickly took out the Qiankun Pagoda's body from the jar.

When his fingers touched the Qiankun Pagoda's body, the exquisite jade pagoda instantly disappeared, and the pagoda-shaped birthmark appeared on his chest.

After putting away the Qiankun Pagoda, Feng Chou quickly rummaged through the house. This time, he searched more carefully than before. Many of the things that seemed useless to him before, including some rotten animal skins, some firewood that could be burned, and even the stinky black paste in the iron pot and the stone in the pot, were all hastily cleaned up and stored in the Qiankun Pagoda.

Of course, the crude armor that he had previously despised was also not left behind.

After sweeping through the house like picking up scraps, Feng Chou used the dirty and tattered leather to make a simple shirt and skirt for himself to wear. Only then did he find a place to sit down.

He opened his hand, and a piece of smoked meat appeared in his palm.

He stared at the smoked meat for a moment, and a bitter smile appeared on his face. Then, he stuffed the smoked meat into his mouth and ate it in big bites.

This smoked meat came from the corpses of the two Bear Goblin. If he had not recovered the memories of his previous life, he would definitely not eat the meat of these intelligent human-like creatures.

For the past twenty days, he had been eating these two Bear Goblin in the Qiankun Pagoda.

Of course, the Qiankun Pagoda had supplies, but Qiankun Pagoda had told him that due to the changes in the universe's rules, the things that he stored from the previous universe would immediately be broken down by the rules of this world once they were taken out of the Qiankun Pagoda. If he ate those things, perhaps he would be fine in the Qiankun Pagoda, but no one knew what would happen when he left the Qiankun Pagoda.

Not only the food, even the water he had been drinking for the past few days came from Qiankun Pagoda's recovery and purification of his bodily fluids, as well as the water collected from the Bear Goblin's corpses by Qiankun Pagoda.

Feng Chou quickly finished the Bear Goblin's smoked meat. He flipped his hand and took out a leather bag from the Qiankun Pagoda. This leather bag was the water storage leather bag that he had just found in the house. He raised the leather bag filled with water and gulped down a few mouthfuls. After keeping the leather bag, he stood up and walked towards the back door of the house.

This time, Qiankun Pagoda activated the scanning function. It directly transmitted the scanning results to Feng Chou's brain. As a result, the house and walls in front of Feng Chou became translucent. He could clearly see which stone house was empty and which stone house had a Bear Goblin.

A radius of twenty-eight meters didn't sound big, but in fact, it was a very wide area. The Drow Elves' Dungeon was only one to two kilometers in diameter, and the periphery of the slave district was only two to three hundred meters wide.

With the guidance of the scanning function, Feng Chou shuttled through the chaotic slave district and felt a lot more relaxed.

He quickly passed through the periphery of the Bear Goblin's residence and arrived at the real slave district.

The environment here was slightly better than the Gnome district. He understood the reason when he met two Subterrane Dwellers who were pushing a manure cart and collecting manure buckets along the way.

These Subterrane Dwellers who were collecting manure buckets were far away from the Bear Goblin district.

As for the reason, it wasn't hard to understand when he thought about the bones in the Bear Goblin's stone house and the two Bear Goblins who were salivating when they saw Feng Chou.

With the help of Qiankun Pagoda's scanning function, Feng Chou avoided the moving creatures and walked around the entire slave district. He discovered that most of the slaves here were Subterrane Dwellers. According to Qiankun Pagoda's estimation, these creatures accounted for more than 70% of the entire slave district's population.

Subterrane Dwellers were intelligent creatures who were at the bottom of the food chain in the underground world.

Wild Subterrane Dwellers lived in tribes of hundreds of people in large, empty caves. They passed down a simple shaman culture.

Subterrane Dwellers were physically stronger than humans and had an innate level 2 creature rank. However, their intelligence was very low and they were the main slaves of most intelligent creatures in the underground world.

Other than the Subterrane Dwellers, there were also large numbers of Grey Dwarf slaves in the slave district. However, the status of the Grey Dwarf slaves was different. They lived near the inner city and were separated from the other slaves by the Bear Goblin.

Other than the Subterrane Dwellers and Grey Dwarf slaves, there were also a small number of human and Gnome slaves in the slave district.

According to Qiankun Pagoda's scanning, the slaves here didn't have a fixed schedule and were brought out to work in shifts.

After finding the human slaves' gathering area, Feng Chou hid in an empty house and waited quietly.

Two hours later, a group of Drow Elves escorted a group of about a hundred human slaves from the outskirts of the city.

The slaves were lined up in a long line. Two Drow Elven Warriors each brought seven to eight Bear Goblin and were scattered on both sides of the group. The escorts were very relaxed and didn't seem to care if the slaves were out of sight.

Feng Chou hid behind the house and waited for the entire group to pass before he came out from behind the wall and quickly followed behind the group. No one noticed that there was an extra person in the group.

After the group entered the human slave district, they stopped in front of a stone house. More than thirty slaves in the front row entered the stone house in a single file.

After this group of people had all entered the stone house, the group walked another ten meters forward and came to an adjacent stone house. More than thirty people entered the stone house.

These hundred or so people lived in three adjacent stone houses.

The light in the stone houses was dimmer than outside. Feng Chou's vision wasn't affected because of his night vision. The other human slaves seemed to be very familiar with and adapted to this dim environment.

The size of the stone houses where the human slaves lived was about the same as the Bear Goblin's stone house, about sixty to seventy square meters.

In fact, all the stone houses in the slave district looked the same.

More than thirty people living in a house of sixty to seventy square meters was obviously not too spacious. The houses were densely packed with straw mats that took up most of the space in the house. It looked like there was nowhere to put one's feet.

The positions of the beds were very messy, but there was a very obvious feature. That was, there was a large empty space near the front and back doors.

After entering the house, most of the people walked back to their straw mats and lay down. They were obviously very tired, but there were also some people who stayed in the open space in front of the front door, looking out from time to time, as if they were waiting for something.

Feng Chou quietly walked to the open space near the back door of the house and sat down next to a thin slave who was snoring as soon as he laid down. He leaned against the wall and pretended to rest with his head buried in his arms. In fact, he was using Qiankun Pagoda's scan to carefully observe everyone here.
