Chapter 246: The Rules of the Outer District of the City of Slaughter, Tang San and Yu Xiao Gang Are Targeted!
"Teacher, let's go get the food."
After waking up in a corner of the outer district of the City of Slaughter and realizing that he couldn't cultivate his Purple Extreme Magic Eyes, Tang San immediately woke up Yu Xiao Gang, signaling that they should go get food.
Although they knew a lot about the City of Slaughter from the previous live stream and some experiences passed on by his father, Tang Hao, they were aware that food was scarce in the City of Slaughter.
However, due to being chased by Bibi Dong and her group, they hadn't been able to buy food in the city while fleeing to the City of Slaughter. Instead, they hunted some beasts, barely processed them, and stuffed them into their storage soul tools.
Even if they were conservative with their consumption, the food would only last a month at most.
Therefore, neither Tang San nor Yu Xiao Gang had intended to eat from their limited reserves unless absolutely necessary. They decided to go to the City of Slaughter to collect food.
After all, according to the new guide's introduction, the food was free, so why not take it?
Thus, Tang San and Yu Xiao Gang headed directly to a nearby food distribution point, which turned out to be a strange black stone hut.
However, when they arrived, they saw that a long line had already formed outside the hut.
The City of Slaughter was indeed a chaotic place, almost devoid of rules, where strength was the only law.
But because of this, there was a set of "rules" here, one created by the strong.
The people in charge of food distribution were official personnel of the City of Slaughter, with immense strength. To avoid trouble, they required people to queue for food. Anyone who disrupted the order would have their heads twisted off immediately.
That's why there was a long queue outside the food distribution point.
Tang San and Yu Xiao Gang, of course, didn't know about these rules.
However, neither of them were the type to break rules. Upon seeing the queue, they simply joined at the end and began to wait.
Time passed quickly.
After about ten minutes, it was finally Tang San and Yu Xiao Gang's turn to get food.
Inside the black stone hut, the bald man in charge of handing out food looked annoyed. He scooped out two lumps of black, sticky food from a wooden barrel with a ladle and tossed them into Tang San and Yu Xiao Gang's hands.
Looking at the black, sticky, and somewhat viscous food in their hands, which had a color and texture resembling thick porridge, but with a strange look and smell that reminded them of a lazy sheep's head hairdo, both Tang San and Yu Xiao Gang were left with stiff faces, unable to bring themselves to eat it.
They could only awkwardly walk out of the queue.
Once aside, Tang San and Yu Xiao Gang exchanged looks, both with uncomfortable expressions.
Because the food in their hands looked so disgusting, neither of them wanted to eat it.
Although they had already guessed that food in the City of Slaughter wouldn't be great, it was one thing to expect bad food and another thing entirely to be handed something that looked so repulsive.
Even though Tang San had endured hardship since he was young, the food in his hand, which looked like "sugar chicken droppings," was enough to make him gag.
Looking at the fallen soul masters in the queue, who, upon receiving the food, immediately shoved it into their mouths and even licked their dirty hands clean afterward, Tang San and Yu Xiao Gang couldn't help but share a complex glance, both sighing inwardly.
They dared not eat the food now because they still had some provisions in their storage soul tools. But once they ran out of food, would they end up like these people?
It was a horrifying thought!
As Tang San and Yu Xiao Gang stood with their two lumps of black food, gazing at the people in the food line, five soul masters with varying builds, looking somewhat better off, suddenly took notice of them.
Seeing that they didn't eat their food immediately, the five soul masters couldn't help but raise their eyebrows. They licked their lips, and greed quickly filled their hearts.
New soul masters entering the City of Slaughter often carried food from the outside, which was far better than the City's food.
Even if they didn't have food, these newcomers were still healthy and could spare quite a bit of blood, which would provide enough for several months of Bloody Marys.
These were two genuine fat sheep!
Thinking this, the five soul masters exchanged glances and grinned sinisterly.
However, they didn't immediately approach Tang San and Yu Xiao Gang.
The time around the food distribution point was not one for disturbances. If they caused trouble, their heads would likely be twisted off.
Thus, they held back, eyeing Tang San and Yu Xiao Gang, waiting for them to leave.
It didn't take long—less than three minutes.
Still not eating the black, sticky food, Tang San and Yu Xiao Gang carefully found a corner where no one was around and shoved the food into their storage soul tools.
Then, they walked away from the food distribution point, heading toward a quiet alley they had previously found.
But not long after they left, the five soul masters who had been eyeing them followed.
Tang San quickly noticed that they were being followed.
But by now, they had already left the vicinity of the food point.
"The two of you, stop!"
The lead soul master, a thin man, grinned widely and shouted as he tried to stop Tang San and Yu Xiao Gang.
Hearing the voice and realizing they were being followed by five people, Tang San and Yu Xiao Gang couldn't help but feel their hearts sink and quickly quickened their pace.
It was fine if Tang San was alone, but with Yu Xiao Gang by his side, the two of them were soon caught up with.
"What do you want?"
Surrounded by the five soul masters, Tang San immediately protected his teacher, Yu Xiao Gang, and glared coldly at them, asking.
"Hehe, it's simple. Hand over your storage soul tools and give us a part of your blood, and we'll spare your lives today!"
Seeing that Tang San and Yu Xiao Gang had storage soul tools, the thin soul master, eyes gleaming with greed, threatened.
Damn!
Hearing that the enemy had realized they had storage soul tools, both Tang San and Yu Xiao Gang immediately felt a sinking feeling in their hearts, their faces paling.
Their entire wealth was in the storage soul tools. If they were robbed, how could they survive in the City of Slaughter?
