Chapter 625: Ruling the Palace

said this was a bird..." Lu Qinan was so angry that his face turned black as he pointed at the stage where it was clearly a playing card, angrily refuting her.Jun Zhimu looked at him, his voice calm...The harder he worked to make his way, the more silent Lord Shepherd became.

Joe Baoer was kidnapped by Gu Ruqing, and it was his fault. He deliberately lured Gu Ruqing into Jun's house to observe her unusual behavior, but he led the wolf into the room, it was his negligence.

He caused her so much suffering.

Junzhi Mu's gaze was sharp, fixed straight ahead. His hands were clenched into fists, suppressing feelings of guilt.

Finally, on the seventh day of their continuous journey, they reached their destination.

Having passed through the asteroid zone, they saw a sparse forest with abundant rivers and lush villages lining them. They immediately filled their empty bottles with river water. Following the direction of the river, they heard a commotion in the lower reaches where the tributaries converged.

Over there, is the marketplace of savages.

After arriving at the barbarian market, Lu Qinian and his companions were truly amazed.

These savages looked much as they had imagined. They were tall and powerfully built, generally over eight feet tall, with bushy beards and fierce features. Their limbs were thick and muscular, their chests heavily muscled, and their bodies covered in a dense growth of hair, even on their feet which sported dark fur.

At first glance of a wild man, one's body would stiffen involuntarily out of fear.

These large, hulking cavemen don't seem very intelligent. Their communication between each other sounds like that of primitive, uncivilized beasts, roaring and shouting at one another, but they actually know how to do business!

"Is this guy smart, or is he dumb" The monkey cautiously held his assault rifle, eyeing the hulking figures of the wild men around him. He was completely baffled.

"They're selling lighters and matches!" Lu Qinan could hardly believe it.

Old Ghost slipped inside and grabbed a box of matches, examining it carefully. The bottom read "china," and he couldn't help but laugh proudly, "Well, well, looks like it's our very own Chinese manufacturing!"

This indicates that all the modern-day consumer goods here originate from outside the island.

Someone brought these goods in, making a high profit and exploiting the wealth of the wild people indirectly.

They traded prey for everyday necessities, I mean, that's outrageous, three large water buffaloes for a single lighter

The savages traded goods for goods, but the price-performance ratio really surprised them.

Here a match can make you rich.

"Young Jun, they know how to trade with gold."

The old ghost pointed in surprise to the other side, where a wild man buying an iron pot had taken out a small piece of gold and given it to the wild man peddler. They were trading.

...actually knows how to use gold as a medium of exchange....

Jun's shepherd turned his head to look at Raphael, who watched these foolish savages trading with gold, a sneer playing on his lips, as if it were commonplace.

The Raphael family intentionally guided the savages to trade with gold.

These savages look much like uncivilized ancients. They only abide by the principle of trading with gold, but they don't seem to be very particular about the size and weight of the gold.

Lao Gui observed that the wild people traded gold without weighing it. They only needed a rough estimate of its size, and if they were willing, the trade would go through.

"It seems we overthought things."

These savages are just all body and no brain. They're not very intelligent at all.

Because Jun Zhi Mu and his party of 126 people, though much smaller in stature than the wild men, were all armed and well-equipped. Their numbers gave them strength, and their uniform attire made them appear like an army, their momentum unstoppable.

They walked through the savage market, observing the savages' trading activities. Many savages also curiously looked at them. The savages here seemed reluctant to cause trouble and instinctively gave way to Jun Zhi牧 and his companions.

Being stared at by such a large group of savages was like being surrounded by beasts, with hungry eyes. Jun Zhimu and his men, armed to the teeth, were on high alert.

Raphael led them all the way to a palace gate. The walls were made of earth and stone, ten meters high. The palace gate was designed with a suspension bridge, and on either side of the entrance stood eight sturdy wild men guards, each wielding spears and blades.

When Junzhi Mu saw this, he was also a little excited.

To actually build a palace in this place.

"Who lives in there"

"Ruled this island, made the savages work for me. Hell, it's way more satisfying than being an emperor."

"Damn it!"

Lu Qinan and they couldn't contain their excitement, bursting out with curses.

Raphael's destination was this palace; it held what he desired, and he intended to obtain it.

Rafael strode towards the palace gates, and Jun Zhi Mu suddenly reached out and grabbed his shoulder, "Where's Qiao Baoer"

No matter what he needed, he came just to find people.

Raphael brushed him off nonchalantly, throwing in, "As long as we control this palace, finding anyone on this island will be child's play."

"You better not play tricks."

He watched Rafael, seemingly sensing that the latter would make some move shortly.

Raphael merely curled his lips into a sneer. His handsome profile, with his sapphire eyes clear and beautiful, was no longer as pure and innocent as 'Tang Yu'. Instead, there was a playful arrogance in them.

Jun Zhi's attendants lined up in front of the palace gate, over a hundred men strong, each armed with heavy weapons and bearing solemn expressions.

And Raphael, it seemed, was thus 'wearing a tiger's skin', relying on his troops behind him, he strode across the palace bridge and conversed with the leading barbarian guard.

Because of the distance, Junzhi Mu and his people couldn't hear what Raphael was saying to the wild man, but they had seen before that to enter the palace one seemed to have to present a wooden plaque.

"What in the world are they talking about..."

Raphael held a position of great importance on this archipelago, so Lu Qinan and the others subconsciously assumed that if Raphael showed the notice to the wild guards, they would be able to enter the palace smoothly.

However, just at that moment, a sharp gunshot rang out.

Raphael grasped a short pistol quickly, his eyes narrowed. The hulking brute guarding the man crumpled to the ground with a thud. The bullet had found its mark, piercing through an artery with deadly precision. The barbarian seemed oblivious at first, sluggishly clutching at the gushing wound in his neck before collapsing, unable to rise.

The shepherd behind saw this and his face instantly darkened.

"Rafael is intentionally stirring up trouble for us! Damn it!"

The monkey roared angrily, and at that moment, more wild men guards rushed out from within the palace.

They were unable to negotiate with the savages, being on the same ship as Raphael. This forced Junzhi Mu and his group to fight against the savages.

Gunshots rang out, bloodbath corpses littered everywhere, screams, roaring.

The wild men were strong and charged, attacking with spears. Jun Zhimu and his companions were agile, dodging the attacks, their guns able to kill these massive figures instantly.

The wild man's blood was more pungent, nauseatingly so, filling the air with the stench of blood, slaughter, and heart-stopping terror.

Finally, Junzhi Mu and his people made the wild men here afraid, they dared not charge forward again.

Raphael burst into laughter, unrestrained and arrogant.

“Come in, brothers, and see our palace,” Raphael declared with brazen confidence, as if the palace already belonged to him.for this activity.A red paper bag, like a big red envelope holding their bonus, Qiao Baoer held it in her hand.
