Wei Ming was speechless, and Wuqi was right. Although the territory of the Golden Kingdom is far greater than that of the Guyan Kingdom, the environment here is really not suitable for living creatures. Just like a desert, even the water is seriously polluted. If you want to drink it, you must use a filter. The dark water contains too many poisons. As long as you enter the human body, even a little bit, it will be fatal.
"It's true that there is no difference from the desert. Apart from these residents who rely on filters to survive, there are no other creatures." After a moment, Wei Ming sighed and said in agreement.
This is the first feeling that the Golden Kingdom brought to Wuqi. Although the land is large, the things are not wide. From Wuqi's current location, there is almost no green thing. Along the way, the whole country gives people a gray feeling, very gloomy and dull, and there is no way to see the prosperity that any country should have. Instead, some of them are just a heavy dead spirit.
No wonder the orcs that grew up in the northern part of the Golden Kingdom have such a weird appearance. Although they are extremely huge, they are as scary as giants, but they are actually very sad. Just what you see these days, Wuqi has already seen part of the reason why the North orcs' appearance is so weird.
It should be forced by the environment. If the environment in the Golden Kingdom was not so harsh and the ecology was destroyed so severely, even the water source that the living creatures needed most was filled with countless poisonous gas. If it weren't for so many poisonous gases, the appearance of the Northern Orcs wouldn't have become so hideous and terrifying.
Although the physical strength of the Northern Orcs is much stronger than that of humans, as long as they compare with the Southern Orcs, which are also the Orcs, you can see that the civilization of the Orcs is still very low. Therefore, in order to survive, they cannot only use their own bodies to fight against the poisonous gas.
Perhaps, the orcs' bodies have much stronger resistance to poison gas and venom than humans. They can easily resist this extremely harsh environmental pollution at the beginning. However, if this continues, no matter how strong the resistance is, it will be the day to be conquered. Once conquered, there will undoubtedly be only two results.
If the body cannot withstand the invasion of poison gas and venom, the strong self will gradually become weak and sickly and eventually die in this cruel struggle.
But if the body successfully accepts poisonous gas and venom in the sky, over time, the body will naturally change due to the invasion of a large number of poisonous gas and venom. This is the law of nature. There is no dispute about the survival of the fittest. The reason why the northern orcs are all so hideous and terrifying is like monsters should be this reason.
With this in mind, Wuqi couldn't help but sigh, and he actually felt a little sympathy for the unfortunate experience of the Northern Orc. At the same time, his impression of the Northern Orc in his heart also changed and he no longer felt so disgusted. However, in just a moment, he put aside this thought.
Because Wuqi understood that now is not the time to think about these things. It is the top priority to go to the capital of the Golden Kingdom as quickly as possible and find news about Xiaodie and the other two.
"Senior, let's get faster." Wuqi said.
"Okay." Wei Ming nodded in agreement.
The next moment, the two looked at each other, and with a thought, the flying sword under their feet immediately flashed and disappeared from the spot in a roar, both turning into fleeting sword lights and heading straight for the distant sky.
In the next period of time, Wuqi and Wei Ming continued to travel overnight. They thought that what they had seen and heard before was enough to numb them and there would be no longer any situation that would make them unable to help but stay. However, after three days of traveling with this mood, their thoughts changed.
Because, in just three days, they saw many things that completely exceeded their imagination and cognition.
The first thing is that the environment here is completely different from what I saw in the past few days. After passing through the southern part of the Golden Kingdom, Wuqi and Wei Ming seemed to have entered a new world. The poisonous gas was gone, and the ink-like water bubbled by the poisonous gas was gone. The environment was finally no longer as bad as it was at the beginning, and the number of residents gradually increased.
However, the damaged ecological environment has never recovered as before, because, here, there are more people, and tall buildings are rising one after another, but there is still no trace of insects, fish, birds and beasts. Wherever you see, there is only human race.
It can be seen from this that the environment here has only become more suitable for human habitation, and there is no phenomenon like the Lone Goose Country where people and beasts can live in harmony with nature.
However, if the people living here live in a relatively harmonious life and are basically harmonious with each other, and everyone can express a faint warmth, this place is a pretty good environment, at least I like it very much.
However, in fact, this is not the case. Although there are a large population here, the relationship between people is particularly ruthless, and it can even be said to be cold-blooded. Shuving between the big high-rise buildings, Wuqi can clearly see the various discords and even some cruel scenes in the city.
Rich people with big belly often do not need to pay any blood and sweat to have the wealth and power that thousands or even tens of thousands of people can enjoy together. However, poor and hard-working poor people often bleed and sweated desperately, and can only earn a salary that can be counted in one hand.
Although this place is more prosperous than the villages and towns that Wuqi and Wei Ming passed by a few days ago, and there are almost all high-rise buildings everywhere, the ones that can really enjoy them are less than one percent of the total population here. The Guyan Kingdom also has a gap between the rich and the poor, but it is definitely not as big as the Golden Kingdom.
Wuqi, as a bystander, couldn't help but feel disappointed. It is conceivable how disappointed the residents living in this country and the poor people.
These scenes made Wuqi keep shaking his head, and the dissatisfaction in his heart became more and more difficult to calm down.
Seeing this, Wei Ming patted him gently to show comfort, and said, "You and I are no longer ordinary people. We have long been part of the cultivation world. It is better for us not to interfere in ordinary people's affairs.
Although the people in the Golden Kingdom live so poorly, the man as the king did a little too much. But we can't just interfere with the injustice, right? Even if we successfully change the injustice of the people here, we cannot stay here for the rest of our lives.
As soon as we leave, what this place will look like and what it will return to. We are now making good interference. The efforts we make will only make these suffering people have a beautiful dream. Once we leave, their dreams will be broken.
Rather than doing anything, it’s better to do nothing. Boy, I can understand your current mood. If I were a thousand years younger, I would be like you, and I would be injustice for these suffering people, but I have seen too many such things, forget it. Let’s go, let’s talk about it, we still have to find your wife, right?”
There is no doubt that Wei Ming's persuasion was kind-hearted, and Wuqi could understand Wei Ming's good intentions, but Wei Ming's idea was unagreeable. When Wei Ming finished speaking, Wuqi said firmly: "Senior Wei Ming, I know what you want to say. There are too many unfair things in the world. It is impossible for me alone to control it.
However, I am not a person who can stand by and watch. All I can do is to care about the amount of unfair things I see. I can help these hard-working poor people without hesitation. Even if I just give them a short spring, I will not give up because it is temporary.
You may not know that for some people, being able to have a short dream in their lifetime is a luxury.”
After saying this, Wuqi immediately turned his head and looked at He Xiaotian beside him. Only He Xiaotian could fully understand the true meaning of this sentence.
"That's right! Master is right. I can fully understand Master's mood. Senior Wei Ming, you don't want to take action, so wait for us here. Master and I will come." He Xiaotian's reply satisfied Wuqi. As soon as Wuqi finished speaking, he nodded without thinking and replied.
The next moment, as He Xiaotian finished speaking, the master and apprentice looked at each other, nodded silently, and then, without hesitation, flashed and disappeared in an instant. When they appeared again, they had arrived in an alley, which was the darkest area of the city, filled with various dark sides of human nature, greed, selfishness and snobbery.
Of course, the most important reason they would come here was that something happened here that Wuqi couldn't stand it.
It was a matter between a mother and son in a torn dress and a rich man in gorgeous clothes. The rich man was extremely ugly, with a big belly, a face full of flesh, and a mouth full of yellow teeth when he smiled. Except for the noble, gorgeous and rare decorations on his body, there was nothing to be desired.
The rich man was surrounded by people, with hundreds of people, blocking the back roads of the alley. The clothes were neatly dressed, all in black clothes, and the things they held in their hands were different, including sticks, sharp tools, stones and gloves. Almost everything they could hurt people.
"Bang bang bang bang...bang bang bang bang..."
At this moment, the men in black were very violent. Under the command of the rich man behind him, they beat the poor mother and son who were surrounded by the corner crazy and violently. In front of so many people, the mother and son had no power to fight back. They could only instinctively be beaten and kept resisting with both hands.
However, the gap in strength between the two sides was too big. The mother and son soon suffered many shocking wounds due to their serious injuries. Some of them were even more serious and flesh-and-blooded and had begun to rot. If not treated in time, these wounds would be life-threatening.
It is completely unimaginable that the rich man and the mother and son can gather so many people in broad daylight and make such heavy moves against a poor mother and son. There must be too many things that cannot be forgiven. But the fact is not the case. The reason is just because the mother and son cannot afford to pay the debt.
The amount of money is very large for the mother and son, and it has reached the point where the two are unable to repay it, but for this rich man, it is a second. Just because of these small debts, you have to take human life ruthlessly, and two at a time, such bad behavior is unbearable.
"Bit! Beat!! Beat me hard!!! Damn it! I owed me a thousand gold coins and I didn't pay it back for a whole year! I deserve it to be beaten to death. It's natural to pay it back if I can't afford it. I'll pay it back with your life!!! I'm so angry that I'm so bad! Poor people are just cheap..."
"Who do you think is cheap?"
At this moment, just as the rich man's eyes were bleating and cursing the two mothers and sons, Wuqi appeared. He looked at He Xiaotian, and his figure flashed, and he came to the rich man in an instant, pointed it out, pressed it against the rich man's throat, with murderous eyes and asked coldly.
"Boy! Where did you come from? Are you looking for death?" The rich man was a little overly angry at this moment. When he saw Wuqi suddenly in front of him, he was not surprised at all. Instead, he looked at Wuqi with a ferocious look. Not only was he not afraid at all, but he also took the initiative to threaten.
"snort!"
Wu Qi snorted disdainfully, and was too lazy to say more nonsense. As soon as the other party's voice fell to the ground, he took action. A murderous intent flashed in his eyes, his fingers exerted force instantly. A muffled sound suddenly rose up. His index finger gently poked forward, and in an instant, under the unbelievable gaze of the rich man, pierced through the other party's chest.
