Chapter 65: Black market (1/2)
Under the blood coloured setting sun.
A large black camp stood there waiting, like a monster crawling in the canyon depths, it gave a dilapidated but wild look.
Rocks were piled around the black market as a fence, a deep ditch was dug around it with a variety of obstacles showing.Several hundred black armoured guards with bows, meticulously stood in the sentry towers and along the walls, ready to repel Yin Corpses at any moment.
Inside the camp, the stone buildings were crude, the distribution was uneven, the ground was crushed stones and junk was spread everywhere, causing a weird smell to be in the air.The streets were filled with cultivators, their clothings varied as if they were from different places, even possibly different countries.
There was no order in the black market, no laws, it was a place where laws were not allowed!
The law of the jungle, the strong was respected, whoever was the strongest was the ruler of the black market, because of this, there were daily fights between factions of the black market.
So those that dared enter the black market were those that had confidence in their strength, otherwise if they were robbed or killed on the streets, no one would sympathize with them, they can only blame their bad luck.
The Yin Corpse riot had some relations to this.
Today the black market’s atmosphere seemed intense.
Many people seemed to be discussing things, Chu Tian took a spin through 7-8 streets of the black market, half looking for news, half asking about the Great Zhou caravans.
“Come take a look!Come take a look!”
“A fox slave snatched from a southern foreign country!”
“Quantities are limited, this is a rare opportunity, hurry and come take a look!”
A short, thin, red haired man with a few brawny men beside him was selling slaves by the road.
“How come these people look just like monsters!”Cai Die was scared by the scene, the red haired man was short, only reaching one meter, the brawny man beside him were all two meters tall, their bodies covered in black fur, they looked a little like human bears.
The slaves they were selling were even stranger, all of them were female, their bodies were hot, although they looked mostly human, they had fox ears and a furry tail, looking strange and beautiful, full of a foreign elegance.
[TL Note - Give me them Ahri waifus plz.]
“Are these authentic fox slaves?
Several curious merchants gathered round.
“You are lucky!I’ve brought these fox slaves from tens of thousands of li, they are all pure blooded, look at this large chest and buttocks, with these kinds of waves they will make the best toys of ecstasy.”The red haired old man grabbed one of the girls, tearing off her top, “Do you want to give it a feel?This place is big, it is round, the fox’s family instinct is obscene.After it is domesticated, guaranteed to bring you joy.”
[TL Note - So much cringe in this one paragraph…..kids, don’t read this part….]
The fox slaves had a charming smile, it could simply melt a person’s soul.
They were not the least bit ashamed.
The red haired old man continued to give his sales promotion, “Think about it, in this kind of place, what kind of respected family, does not have any foreign slaves?If you buy one now, no matter whether it’s to enjoy or serve guests, you would not be losing face!”
The merchants were somewhat excited, “How much?”
The red haired old man quickly gave a price, “High quality goods for 10 Source Stones, medium quality goods for 5 Source Stones, and low quality goods for 3 Source Stones!”
“This is my first time seeing another race!”
Cai Die did not come to the black market to shop, rather she came to have fun.
Several other slave merchants were calculating in their brains, buying ordinary human slaves and selling them in a foreign race country, then buying foreign slaves from there and selling them in human states.
The price could be raised several hundred times!
An ordinary human maidservant without any cultivation, sold for a few dozen gold coins on the Southern Summer Country market.
But if they delivered them to the faraway foreign race states, where they were rare, they could even be sold for 100000 gold coins!
The black market was as the rumours said.
Here there were things normal markets did not have, foreign race slaves, foreign weapons, foreign special products, etc.
“The continent was wide, hundreds of clans everywhere, there is nothing strange about this.”
“We should go look for the Great Zhou Country’s caravan!”
At this time, Chu Tian curiosity was peaked by some passerby’s conversation.
“Hey, did you know?The ruins in the valley are open!”
“No wonder there are that many important people here in the black market!”
“Every time it opens, the yin qi in the valley is aggravated, just by looking at the Yin Corpses mass awakening you can tell, there is no doubt!Recently many famous people have come to the camp, if not to hunt treasures why are they here?I want to go try my luck too!”
“Don’t think about it, unless you get a ancient grave command, you won’t be able to enter the ten thousand ancient graves!”
“......”
From the discussions of the black market people, he could make out some secrets.
There was an ancient ruin was buried in the Yin Corpse Valley, today’s abnormal happenings were probably caused by a change in the ruin’s energy, this caused an influx of yin qi, which led to the mass awakening of Yin Corpses.
This was truly a new thing!
30000 years later, ancient ruins, mystical areas, buried treasure, trial by fire, and the similar with hidden treasures, had all long stopped existing.Some were brutally excavated, others were not well protected, causing many treasures to be lost to the future generation.
Whenever Chu Tian was reading the records, he always felt his heart ache, wishing he could have lived in that era.
Now that the opportunity came, the buried treasures, the ancient ruins of gods, the famous mystical areas, the large trials by fire, many of them had not been discovered yet!
The early civilization had left behind many ancient legacies.
Their history was a hundred times longer than humans.
In tens of thousands of years, humans have been able to progress by leaps and bounds, this was also in part due being able to benefit from the wisdom of their predecessors.There were several epic level treasure locations, some were even recorded in the country’s records.
Those unearthed hidden treasures, from now on sooner or later there would be an opportunity, now was still not the time.
The Yin Corpse Valley ruins, it wasn’t a mankind changing grand treasure, but as an ancient sect ruin, it still had things of value.
Chu Tian’s cultivation was still weak, he should be able to find some useful things.
Only how would he get there?
When Chu Tian was thinking, Xiang Hu ran over excitedly shouting, “Found it, found it, the Great Zhou Country’s caravan is over here!”
He finally found it!”
The black market’s design was too disgusting!
It was like a labyrinth, it could make a person dizzy!
The Great Zhou Country’s caravan was in a large building, outside there were many black flags, the gatekeepers wore black clothing and a ghost mask, giving off a haunted feeling, making people feel uncomfortable, 80% of them were practicing an evil cultivation technique.
Inside the black market people from all different countries were present.
So people wearing strange clothes would appear, the three of them were not surprised.
This time they had harvested more than 360 corpse cores.
