Chapter 421 The Current Situation of the Demons
"What are the resources you traded?"
Chen Xiao was very curious. The demons actually took the initiative to trade with humans. What insider reasons would cause them to lose face?
"The resources the demons want are very basic things. Food, meat, most common herbs, and even clean water can be used as trading items." The people of Xixing Empire answered.
Even water can be used for trading?
Chen Xiao was stunned. What is the situation of the demons? Is water even a demanded material?
Could it be that the space where the demons live is quite barren?
Such a guess is still very likely. For example, those special small spaces are not all beautiful and rich in resources. There are also some small spaces that are quite barren, and they may not even be suitable for any creatures to survive!
It seems that the current situation of the demons is likely to be like this. Otherwise, how could they want so many living materials?
"Tell me some more details of your transaction. Have you ever seen the space where the demons live?"
In order to further understand the situation of the demons, Chen Xiao continued to ask questions. Unfortunately, the Xixing Empire knows very little about these things...
The barren land is full of cracks due to dryness. If you look down from the air, the blood-red soil is quite similar to dry skin. In the sky, the huge sun is madly projecting scorching sunlight, as if it wants to squeeze out the last bit of moisture from the earth!
In such an environment, almost no plants can survive. Only a few dry grasses can be seen in some shadowed corners, but they seem to be ignited by the sun at any time.
Without the existence of plants, there are naturally no animals. A glance across this continent shows no traces of any animals, and even the sky does not hear a bird's cry.
However, in such an environment, there is a huge city stationed on this barren land in the distance...
"Second Prince, you should go back first. Let the servants do these things. How can a person of your noble status do such a rough thing." A short-haired demon girl said anxiously to a demon man beside her.
Looking closely, the demon girl's face is not all covered with black tattoos, only on the sides of her cheeks and on her forehead, and the tattoos look quite simple and clear, which gives the girl a different visual experience, a kind of exotic girl style.
The demon man standing next to the girl, whom she called the Second Prince, has fewer tattoos on his face than the girl, and only has three wavy tattoos on his forehead. However, these three tattoos can only be possessed by the royal family of the demon clan.
"Xiao Qing, how do those people below know how to take care of them? Look, I haven't come to see them for just one day, and they are much less energetic than before."
The Second Prince's eyes fell in front of him, and in front of him, a small piece of land was planted with various plants.
On the left are three fruit trees. If you look closely, you can see flower buds appearing between the leaves; on the right is a row of corn and other low plants, which have begun to bear fruit. And in front of them, some climbing plants have climbed all over the shelf, and the ripe fruits have already drooped.
A little further away, there is a pond, where you can clearly see palm-sized fish, and there is a pen next to it, where many chickens, ducks and geese are raised.
Who would have thought that in such a barren land, there would be such a lively place.
"Second Prince, what are you talking about? Xiaoqing doesn't think they are any different. You'd better go back with me quickly, otherwise His Majesty will scold you again if he finds out." Xiaoqing glanced at the plants in front of her and continued to urge.
However, the second prince acted as if he hadn't heard it at all, and muttered to himself in a trance: "Yes. If my father sees it, he will definitely say that I am not doing my job properly. But he has never thought about why our demon clan has become like this, and what methods should be used to change it."
After saying this, the second prince couldn't help but recall the scenes of his childhood in his mind.
At that time, this land was still rich, and their demon clan did not need to worry about living resources. The sky was blue, the land was green, and the water was clear. Until...
His eldest brother, the eldest prince of the demon clan, suddenly wanted to explore the world outside this space one day. Then, he succeeded and found the passage to the upper part and the door to the outside continent.
However, the passage to the upper part requires at least the strength of a semi-saint, and the door to the outside continent is only connected to the grove covered by the black energy shield.
Neither of the two roads is enough for his eldest brother to leave this space. Instead, with his discovery, the land began to change.
The sun became stronger and stronger, and the sky turned red, as if it was burning at any time. The water became less and less, the land became drier and drier, the plants died, the animals starved to death, and even their demon clan paid a huge price under such changes.
Finally, civil strife broke out in the demon clan, and a good empire was split into three parts.
One is the imperial city controlled by his father, which manages half of the existing survivors in the demon clan and has several masters around him.
One is the former great elder of the demon clan, who led a group of masters under his command and his own forces to take root in another city, often opposing the imperial city, as if he wanted to overthrow his father. The population accounts for one-quarter of the existing survivors.
The last one is his eldest brother, the eldest prince.
Ironically, everything in front of him was caused by the eldest prince, but in such an environment, he still got the support of one-quarter of the survivors, and the reason was because he told everyone that he could find a way to the outside world and then lead them to start a new life.
Thinking of this, the second prince felt bitter in his heart. Perhaps life should have so many unsatisfactory things.
"Second prince, His Majesty has something to ask you to go over."
Behind him, a guard ran over to inform.
Hearing this, Xiaoqing was shocked, wondering if His Majesty knew that the second prince came here again and asked him to go over and scold him.
However, the second prince knew in his heart that his father must have asked him to go over for that matter. After all, in a few days, they will be able to enter that place...
Led by the guards, the second prince soon arrived at his father's study.
Pushing the door open, a man who looked only about fifty years old sat in front of the desk. He also had three black tattoos on his forehead.
