Just after Lu Xiaobu had the cat-eared girl hide behind him, the group of burly men chasing them rushed in front of Lu Xiaobu and the other two.
All of them were in the Golden Core Early Stage, a dozen or so.
However, looking at the clothes they wore, it was clear these people didn't have high status, probably just henchmen or underlings.
This left Lu Xiaobu puzzled—since when did the Golden Core Stage become so commonplace? It wasn't like this in Gourd Waist or East Gourd Belly.
"Young Master, these are people from the small world," Wan Jian noticed Lu Xiaobu's confusion and spoke up: "Anyone with a small world likes to sell their slaves in East Gourd Belly. The market policies here are more developed—all prices are clearly marked, professionally trained, simple and convenient."
"Did you see the collars on their necks? That's the means to control them—it can explode!"
Wan Jian pointed out as a reminder, "That girl earlier had one on her neck too."
