The arrival of the scavengers attracted many people to secretly watch. Although everyone knew that the scavengers were very strong, who didn’t want to see what a real powerhouse looked like?

Han Fei walked on the way and found that about 60% of the people in the Little Sea Village were human beings, and about 20% were humanoids. Some of them were blue and looked a bit like miniature Avatars. There were also some brawny men who might have the bloodline of giants. These people had big heads, thick bodies, and muscular limbs. It was obvious that they were good at mining.

In addition, there were some humanoids with fish scales on their bodies. The lines on their faces were a little stiff. Anyway, Han Fei and company couldn’t appreciate their appearance.

As for the remaining 20% of people, there were a small number of stonemen and a small number of spidermen… In any case, there weren’t many of such people. Han Fei and company were a bit surprised to see these people but not much.

The village leader’s residence was actually no different from that of ordinary people. It was just a small courtyard built with white jade stones.

!!
Han Fei said, “Fellow Daoist Zhao Jing, I heard that some human history can only be heard among the humans in remote places. Do you know anything about the ancient history of our human race?”

Zhao Jing didn’t expect Han Fei to start the conversation with this topic. Now that Han Fei asked this question, it was obvious that he was not from an ordinary small place. This made Zhao Jing immediately wonder if Han Fei and the others were from a powerful lord’s land or even the City of Scavengers.

But Zhao Jing smiled bitterly at this topic. “Fellow Daoist, how should I address you?”

Han Fei said, “Well, my name is Ren Tianfei.”

Tai Yuan and the others were speechless. What did you lie without the slightest hesitation? Your name is Ren Tianfen?

Zhao Jing said, “Fellow Daoist Ren, in remote villages like ours, there are actually very few people who know the ancient history of the human race. If you really want to know this knowledge, I’m afraid you’ll need some historical information from the big cities. Of course, it might also be destroyed. After all, the City of Scavengers is not the main city of human beings.”

Han Fei’s heart did a flip. The City of Scavengers was not a main city of humans, which meant that there were other races in this main city.

Zhao Jing said, “It’s already good enough that a small village like ours can survive. Even if we know that kind of information, it might have been lost after the older generation died.”

Han Fei asked, “Oh! Is life in the Little Sea Village so difficult?”

Zhao Jing smiled bitterly. “We have to pay Clean Stones and resources every ten years with the tax rate of 50%. All the strong masters in the village who have entered the Venerable realm can’t cultivate in the village at will. They have to join the hunting team and hunt for resources themselves. Under such circumstances, it’s actually not easy for us to survive. The City of Scavengers is known as ruling 13,000 domains. But in fact, up to now, there are only at most 10,000 domains left. Many villages have become history under the tide waves and such high taxes, quietly disappearing in the Chaotic Wasteland. Our Little Sea Village is not bad. We happen to have a huge Clean Stone mine, so the village can be relatively peaceful.”

Han Fei couldn’t help frowning. “Has human life reached this level?”

Zhao Jing shook her head secretly, thinking that these people had probably never been to such a remote place. She didn’t know why they thought of coming here to scavenge.

After muttering, Han Fei immediately said, “Leader Zhao, although there is no ancient historical information here, there should be the information of the last tens of thousands of years, right? In addition, I hope you can give me a map of the sea area of Mountain City. We don’t have a map of the sea area here.”

Zhao Jing immediately said, “No problem. I’ll arrange for Zhou Hai to send it to you later. My lords, this is my residence. If you don’t mind, you can stay here for the time being.”

Han Fei asked in confusion, “What about you?”

Zhao Jing looked at the mining area and said, “The tide wave is coming, and the tax collector of Mountain City should be coming soon. The cultivation of the entire village in the past hundred years has consumed a lot of Clean Stones. I have to dig Clean Stones quickly, so I can’t accompany you.”

Han Fei nodded slightly. “Thank you.”

The so-called Clean Stone was the white jade mine, which was the kind of thing that could release pure electric arcs and Ye Lan used to hunt Dog Tooth Black Snappers.

In this village of only 300,000 people, there were as many as 300 Venerables. There might be some who hadn’t returned. The Clean Stone might be very useful, which was why it was so scarce.

Although the arrival of Han Fei and the others caused a stir, no one dared to come to watch. Only the captain of the guards, Zhou Hai, quickly brought a bunch of jade slips over.

Zhou Hai said, “This is all the historical records of our village. If you need anything, you can tell Zhou Lan. She lives next door.”

After Zhou Hai left, the Sword God said, “It can be seen that they are very afraid of us, but they can’t do anything about it. It can be seen that the humans in the Sea Realm have been facing all kinds of dangers, so they have to tolerate a lot of things.”

Kong Shen said, “That Clean Stone seems to be very important. Should we dig some of it?”

Han Fei said, “No, even the village leader is digging. I don’t know if they can survive the so-called tide wave after paying the tax. Even if we need it, we shouldn’t dig it now.”

Tai Yuan said, “That’s right. Once we take away their Clean Stones, the entire Little Sea Village might disappear under the tide waves. More than 300,000 people, most of whom are human beings, will die.”

Han Fei separated the pile of jade slips. “Take a look and see if there’s any useful information.”

Han Fei picked up the sea chart of Mountain City. Little Sea Village was certainly not their destination, nor was Mountain City. However, they had to reach Mountain City first, then get the sea chart of the entire City of Scavengers, or even the entire Chaotic Wasteland. This was their final goal.

Unlike the Sword God and the others who wanted to go to the East Sword Pavilion, Han Fei had two things to do first.

The first was to find the An family. This family probably knew the location of the Raging Sea. If the An family wasn’t eliminated, there would be endless trouble.

The other was to find Old Yuan’s body. Old Yuan was also in the Sky Opening realm. If he really returned to his body, his strength would be extraordinary. However, this was another matter. As for why Old Yuan was sealed, where he was sealed, and whether it was easy to find his body again, he still had to consider.

When Han Fei scanned around with his perception, he immediately imprinted the huge sea map in his heart. Although the sea map was not very complete, Mountain City was the center of the sea map, which was about 300 million kilometers away from the Little Sea Village.

For Han Fei and the others, this was not a long distance. Since the location had been confirmed, if nothing happened along the way, they would arrive in a day.

Even for Sea Establishers, it wouldn’t take them more than a few days.

Around the Little Sea Village, there were about 40 villages marked out. Most of these villages lived by mines, and their lifestyle was probably similar to the Little Sea Village. The proportion of humans should be similar.

Half a day later.

After they finished reading all the historical records of Little Sea Village, they had a basic understanding of the Chaotic Wasteland.

There were no records of the origin and development of the human race in these historical records. The human race’s history could only be traced back by about 30,000 years. When Little Sea Village was established, there were actually as many as a million humans here.

However, in such an environment, on the one hand, they needed to dig ores, on the other hand, they needed to build the village and deal with ominous creatures. With so many difficulties, when the Little Sea Village was completed, the population had been reduced by more than half.

Later, after the village was built, more humanoids of other races joined in. After tens of thousands of years of recuperation, there were seven or eight Sea Establishers.

Unfortunately, the conditions were difficult in the past, and many of them died resisting the tide waves.

As for the tide wave, it was a dark tide. When the tide wave came, the entire Chaotic Wasteland would fall into darkness. They had to resist it with Clean Stones and fight ominous creatures, which required a lot of Clean Stones.

Of course, there was no absolute good or bad. If a village could hold on, the harvest after the battle would be a large number of energy crystals, enough for a village to digest for decades or even decades. If they were lucky, it might even be a hundred years.

Secondly, in the sea area under the jurisdiction of the City of Scavengers, the human race didn’t have a high status and could be directly understood as miners. In these 10,000 domains, there were not many people who could walk from the villages to the lords’ small cities, and there were even fewer who could walk from the lords’ small cities to the main city. However, many people worked hard for this. In their opinion, in the main city, there was a possibility of becoming a strong master, and then they could better protect their village.

And the strong people they thought were actually mostly scavengers.

In fact, Han Fei knew this way of growth very well. He had walked all the way from the Heavenly Water Village to the Raging Sea, so did those people from the villages.

As for the City of Scavengers, it was said that it was controlled by a human-like race called the Ten Thousand Scale Clan. The city lord was called the Ten Thousand Scale Emperor, the ruler of the City of Scavengers, and also the strongest person.

The city lord controlled 132 small cities, and the masters of the small cities were lords. Every lord controlled a hundred domains, and it was recorded that their strength was all in the Sky Opening realm.

After reading the information, Han Fei and the others’ expressions changed. This meant that there were Monarchs in the City of Scavengers, and there were as many as 132 Sky Opening Realm powerhouses.

This number really stunned Han Fei and the others. This was just the f*cking City of Scavengers. There were three such huge cities in the Chaotic Wasteland. Didn’t it mean that even the most remote Chaotic Wasteland of the East Sea Divine Realm had three Monarchs?

Tian Yuan couldn’t help but sigh. “Sure enough, the Sea Realm is a real great world.”
