108: Section 108
At the same time, the color of his hair changed from its original fiery red back to golden red.
Seeing this scene, all the Chiqiu People who were observing stood frozen on the spot.
In a flash, they knelt before Su Mo.
“King!”
Su Mo stood on the spot, somewhat at a loss.
The Da Wu (Great Shaman) seemed to have already known this outcome, looking at Su Mo with sorrow in her eyes.
“You were born in the wrong era.”
After speaking, the Da Wu (Great Shaman) reached out and placed the amulet from her chest around Su Mo's neck.
It was a reddish-gold bird feather.
Its base was strung with a red cord, surrounded by a kind of scorching radiance.
Su Mo didn't know why the Da Wu (Great Shaman) suddenly made such a gesture.
But then, he understood her meaning.
The shamans of Yi Du discovered the commotion here and led a team of soldiers to the Chiqiu People's residential area.
Upon seeing Su Mo with his golden-red hair, the shamans' eyes flashed with apprehension, and then they ordered the soldiers to capture him and put him in thick chains.
This was the first time Su Mo had worn chains; he only felt them to be incredibly heavy.
At the same time, the chains emitted bursts of icy Qi, making Su Mo's body cold and suppressing the Solar True Fire that had just Awakened within him.
Only the feather around his neck emitted a warm heat, preventing him from getting frostbite.
Su Mo stumbled, dragging the iron chains, and was quickly escorted to the royal palace of Yi Du.
This was his first time seeing the royal palace of Yi Du.
The tall steps made it incredibly difficult for him to walk.
Su Mo suddenly felt some regret in his heart.
Starting as a slave, no matter how high one's talent, the hardships one had to endure were just as many.
In the future, if he didn't randomly get a good identity and good talent, he would rather die than personally participate!
However, regret was regret.
Su Mo was still full of curiosity about this ancient era, which was riddled with mysteries.
Since he had participated,
he might as well keep participating.
He wouldn't lose anything even if he died.
As Su Mo was thinking, he also arrived inside the royal palace, in the main hall, where the current Da Yi (Great Shaman) sat high on the throne, his eyes filled with doubt and confusion.
One of Da Yi's ministers walked up to Su Mo at this moment.
He looked at his golden-red hair and exclaimed in wonder.
“I never thought that a royal Bloodline could be born among these Chiqiu People.”
“Fortunately, they were confined in Yi Du back then, otherwise, who knows what kind of trouble they would have caused.”
Other ministers echoed his sentiments.
“Indeed, who would have thought that these Chiqiu People would eventually establish a connection with the sun?”
“……”
For a moment, voices rose and fell in the main hall, all discussing Su Mo.
Just then,
a shaman walked up to Da Yi and whispered:
“King, recently, the Nine Infants have eaten many people in the fierce waters of Beidi, and they not only eat people, but their nine heads constantly spew water and fire, destroying many people's homes.”
“You need to use Xuanbing arrow to shoot them down.”
Da Yi nodded after hearing this.
“How many Xuanbing arrow are left?”
The shaman shook his head.
“There aren't any left.”
“Furthermore, someone from Moon Wheel Peak sent word that the furnace has lost its ability to smelt ice iron.”
“As long as we lead this Red Hill royal Bloodline into that furnace, we can still smelt ice iron.”
Upon hearing the shaman's words, Da Yi nodded.
“In that case, send him to Moon Wheel Peak.”
“Forge ten Xuanbing arrow as soon as possible and send them over.”
“Also, have you found Xi Wangmu (Queen Mother of the West)'s whereabouts? I want to ask her for the undying divine medicine. After obtaining the undying divine medicine, I don't believe Change will refuse me.”
The shaman's face showed difficulty upon hearing the latter part,
but he did not refuse outright.
“Although not yet, I believe we'll find her soon.”
“Don't use such words to appease me in the future! I want certainty!”
“Yes, King!”
...
Su Mo closed his eyes, listening to the conversations around him, a sense of powerlessness, unable to control his own destiny, arose from the bottom of his heart.
At the same time, a sense of relief emerged.
Fortunately, this wasn't the Shang Dynasty, otherwise, they would now be discussing how to share his royal Bloodline.
Suddenly, Su Mo felt the chains around his neck tighten.
He opened his eyes.
He found the soldiers who had brought him pulling the chains and walking out of the hall.
He didn't know what he would face next.
Chapter 108: Fairy Change on Moon Wheel Peak
Soon, Su Mo was shoved into a prisoner cart, and a foul-smelling black cloth covered it, preventing him from seeing outside.
But Su Mo could feel the prisoner cart constantly moving.
The faint light dimmed and brightened, and a day and a night passed, during which Su Mo had not had a drop of water.
He could only huddle in the prisoner cart, hungry.
“Damn it, this slave life is simply not for humans.”
“I wonder when Solar True Fire will become powerful. It only Awakened into a small flame at sixteen.”
Su Mo sensed it while secretly complaining.
He could feel the Solar True Fire burning in his chest, but by size, it was no different from the small flame emitted by an ordinary lighter.
This golden talent is too useless!
Su Mo suddenly felt some regret.
He might as well have chosen that purple 'fortune and misfortune from the mouth'...
Suddenly,
the black cloth was lifted, and Su Mo's eyes were stung by the sudden light. After swaying for a while, he realized he had arrived at a beautiful large lake.
By the lake, green trees provided shade, and in the distance, mountains surrounded it.
From the highest peak, a white waterfall cascaded down, looking like a fairyland.
Su Mo, who had been in Yi Du for sixteen years, was seeing such beautiful scenery for the first time.
Just as Su Mo's eyes were engrossed in this scenery, the prisoner cart's door was opened, and soldiers roughly pulled him out by the chains.
A single-lidded woman wearing silk gauze stood by, carefully observing Su Mo who had been brought over.
In this ancient era, most people wore coarse cloth and hemp clothes, with better ones being made of animal skins.
Even Da Yi (Great Shaman), the King of Yi Du, wore animal skins.
This was the first time Su Mo had seen a beautiful woman dressed in silk gauze.
Although Su Mo wasn't particularly fond of single-lidded women, this woman's appearance was quite delicate even with single eyelids, and with the added effect of her clothes, she was even more striking.
“Is this the royal Bloodline of Red Hill?”
At this moment, the woman stepped forward, slightly tilting her head, curiously examining Su Mo from head to toe.
In this era, one meter seventy was already considered tall.
Su Mo's height of one meter eighty-five made him stand out like a crane among chickens, coupled with his handsome appearance and strong physique.
This made the woman's eyes ripple with emotion.
“Yes.”
The soldier beside her nodded.
“Grand Shaman Liang personally verified it, saying he can add fire to the furnace.”
“Alright, you can leave.”
“Yes, Spiritual Linglong (Exquisite) adult.”
The soldiers seemed afraid to stay here for long and quickly returned to report with the prisoner cart.
Now,
only Su Mo and this woman remained by the lake.
The woman, named Spiritual Linglong, stepped forward and reached for Su Mo's chest, wanting to test his Solar True Fire.
Su Mo saw this and kicked towards the woman.
Now was a good time to escape!
However, Su Mo misjudged his strength; as soon as his foot kicked out, he was pulled into mid-air by a mysterious force. This force was like steel bars, constricting Su Mo and making him gasp for breath.
Su Mo immediately recalled the Witch Power that Consort Su Daji had used previously.
Three words squeezed out of his throat.
“Wu Wasteland Clan?”
The woman's eyes showed some surprise upon hearing this.
“I didn't expect you to know about the Wu Wasteland Clan. As expected of a Red Hill royal family, even if you are reduced to a slave, you still have orthodox knowledge taught to you.”
“However, I am not of the Wu Wasteland Clan, but of the Moon Marsh lineage. The person who taught you forgot to tell you that Wu Wasteland Clan people are massive; even the shortest women are three meters tall, and some adults can reach nine meters.”
“Never mind, why am I telling you all this?”
“Even if you are of the Red Hill royal family, you are now nothing more than a slave consumable.”
After speaking, Spiritual Linglong lifted Su Mo over her head with a strange power, and her own body also flew up, skimming across the lake towards the distant mountains.
Looking at the scene before him,
Su Mo felt a chill down his spine.
He wondered how this woman intended to use him as a consumable. Could it be that she was going to extract his Solar True Fire alive?
Damn it!
Su Mo's eyes were filled with bitterness.
The slave identity was simply not for humans to experience.
