C547 Dignity
Five Devil Tiger were flying at high speed, following behind the cultivators of Independent City. This group of people were familiar with this forest, some were jumping on trees. Some flew at a low altitude, even if they encountered delicious food. They did not stop. With the bag of Beast Bead that Su Chen gave them, they did not need to hunt anymore.2
In the Independent City, Beast Bead was also a very precious thing. It could be used as the energy source for magic weapons, and it could also be used to make Elemental Staff. Setting up some powerful formations... In this chaotic era, strength could save one's life. Therefore, materials that could increase strength were the most valuable.
The bearded man received Su Chen's Beast Bead. Although his heart was filled with strong greed, he didn't dare to act rashly. Reason told him that Su Chen's identity wasn't simple.
He followed the uneven path filled with weeds and roots and bypassed the forest. It took them two hours to finally pass through the forest. What appeared in front of them was the ruins of a city filled with weeds. At the end of the ruins stood a tall city. It was the Independent City where these people lived.
The ruins of the city were destroyed very badly, but they could still see some tall buildings that had not completely collapsed. A breeze blew past, and they seemed to be in imminent danger, as if they were going to fall at any moment.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! There were many figures lingering around the ruins. Many of them had their heads stretched out towards this place. They were all surprised by the sudden appearance of the headless Devil Tiger. With the cultivators of Independent City leading the way, they were not blocked at all. Su Chen and the others soon arrived in front of the city gate.
There were many new stones scattered on the city wall. It could be seen that he had suffered damage before. The new stones were used to make up for the damages. The city walls were very tall, and there were huge magic cannons on them. There were many people walking on it.
The bearded man waved at the top of the city wall, and the huge city gate was opened. The bearded man threw the wooden toothpick in his mouth onto the ground, and then brought Su Chen and the others into Independent City.
When the five Devil Tiger entered the ancient city, the city gate once again closed with a loud bang. Everyone in the carriage had excited and curious expressions on their faces. Excitement appeared on their faces. The Independent City seemed to be intact. On the spacious street... People were coming and going in an endless stream. On both sides of the road stood tall buildings. In the depths of the city, the buildings looked even more magnificent.
For these people who hadn't seen a good city for a long time, this place was like heaven.
"So lively, we're back in human society" Dan said with a smile on her face. The others couldn't hide the joy in their hearts, and their faces were filled with joy as they kept looking around at their surroundings.
However, they soon couldn't be happy anymore. The environment in Independent City wasn't as good as they had imagined. They saw some aristocrats in gorgeous clothes leisurely strolling around the shopping mall, but they also saw many poor people in ragged clothes moaning on the roadside. Many people were even struggling to survive because of their disabled bodies. No one paid attention to these people. To them, those who lost their value were useless people. It was useless to live.
On the streets, there were suddenly waves of shouts and cries. A group of cultivators didn't get along. They immediately took action, large amounts of blood flowing out. Soon afterwards, there were people who were beaten to death. The bearded man turned around and looked at Su Chen and the others. He laughed strangely and said, "Independent City is like this. You can't blame anyone if you see it."
When they were passing by a square in the city, Su Chen and the others heard a burst of laughter. The square was surrounded by people. There were men and women. They all looked towards the center of the square.
There were three very beautiful women there. They were all naked, and they were all female slaves who were being auctioned off. As long as they had money... You can buy them, whatever you want with them. A nobleman in gorgeous clothes walked up with a lewd look on his face.
Dan couldn't help but close her eyes, and her face revealed a painful expression. Hui held her tightly in his arms, and his expression was also very serious. Independent City was in chaos. Even many basic moral values had fallen.
There was no other way. In order to survive, many people would do whatever it takes. They would even disregard their own dignity and let others trample on them.
"Damn it, I'm not used to living in such a city." A cultivator in the car shouted. He was the guardian of traditional morals. Even if he chose to die, he would protect his dignity as a person.
"I think this is pretty good. If he dies outside, there will be nothing left." Swordsman Wind Tiger muttered.
Su Chen quietly looked at everything. An inexplicable ache appeared in his heart. The Immortal God Continent had become like this, this was not what he wanted. In his eyes, people were equal. At least, in terms of dignity, he couldn't bear to watch this kind of situation. However, he didn't take action to stop it.
Even if he stopped it this time, could he stop it for the rest of his life? Moreover, this kind of phenomenon was everywhere in the Independent City of the continent. The dark side of mankind was vividly displayed here. After seeing a lot of unimaginable things, everyone finally arrived at the center of the city.
The center of the city was many times better than the outer region. It seemed very peaceful here. The residents here seemed to be very well-educated, totally out of tune with the people outside. It was like two different worlds.
This was the place where the upper class of the city lived. Those who could live here were all people with supreme honor and strength. In the eyes of the people in the outer region, they were high and mighty existences.
If it wasn't for this group of people, Independent City would have collapsed very quickly. The people who gathered here would have lost their homes and would once again wander around. Therefore, to them, this group of people was like gods.
They couldn't be disrespected.
The incomparably luxurious building in front of them was like a divine temple. It was protected by rows of fences, and there were many soldiers standing around it. Su Chen and the others did not want to enter the center of the city, but wanted to bypass it. They wanted to go out from the other exit of the city.
"How is it? The Independent City isn't the same as what you have imagined. If your strength is strong enough... When the time comes, you will be able to get wind of it. If you want it, you will get it. " The bearded man smiled at Su Chen. His eyes could not hide the envy and anticipation in his heart.
