Chapter 124: Visiting the Black Market

The place where Ye Bai is currently located is the entrance to the Underground Black Market.

Two sturdy and robust Thunder Tooth Wolves are guarding this place.

Ye Bai presented a gilded dragon card to the Thunder Tooth Wolf guarding the gate.

This is the pass to enter the Underground Black Market.

The Thunder Tooth Wolves look very honest and simple; if they stand up, they reach a height of two meters, and the two canine teeth exposed from their mouths are like crescent scimitars.

Their fur is blue, and electric currents faintly flicker across their bodies.

The Thunder Tooth Wolf is a very loyal Pet Beast, and its value is equivalent to that of a Small Charcoal Dog and a Xiao Xue Dog.

Its teeth are like sharp serrated blades, and it has a lion-like mane on its neck; they absorb massive amounts of electric current to increase their own electrical intensity.

If they lived in the wild, they would pursue the traces of lightning on nights with a Rainstorm.

Of course, they are also top-tier carnivorous predators, and the Negative Electric Rabbit is one of their food sources.

Young Thunder Tooth Wolves live on various metal ores; after extracting the metal elements from the ores, they gradually condense them onto their bodies to enhance their own electrical conductivity.

It is said that their noses can find traces of mineral veins, so some prospectors specifically raise Thunder Tooth Wolves to use for finding mineral veins.

At the same time, the Thunder Tooth Wolf's nose is also very sensitive; it can smell the scent of contraband.

Fighting is strictly prohibited in the Underground Black Market; once discovered, the light penalty is paying a fine, and the heavy penalty is being expelled from the Underground Black Market, never to enter again.

Seeing this exceptionally spirited Thunder Tooth Wolf, detailed data on the Thunder Tooth Wolf appeared in Ye Bai's pupils.

【Name: Thunder Tooth Wolf】

【Gender: Male】

【Characteristic: Wild Thunder: In an environment full of wild thunder, it can double its own attack power, and its speed will increase significantly.】

【Level: Tier 3, Level 6】

【Attribute: Thunder + Metal】

【Skills: Impact (Proficient), Wild Thunder (Proficient): Summons two straight bolts of lightning to strike the opponent heavily.

Thunder Roar (Proficient): Opens its mouth to spray wild thunder like ripples; once it hits the opponent, it will deal extremely high damage to the opponent.

Thunder Ball (Proficient): Sprays two Thunder Balls from its mouth to attack the opponent.

【Evolution Route 1: Thunder Lightning Wolf: Tier 4 Thunder-type crystal core *3, Tier 4 Thunder Lightning Crystal *3, complete the final evolution while bathing in lightning.】

【Evolution Route 2: Thunder Steel Wolf: Tier 4 Thunder-type crystal core *3, Tier 4 Metal-type crystal core *3, complete the final evolution in a mineral vein.】

After seeing the Thunder Tooth Wolf at the gate, Ye Bai took two or three Tier 2 Thunder-type crystal cores out of his Pet Beast Space and tossed them to the Thunder Tooth Wolf.

The Thunder Tooth Wolf revealed its dagger-sharp teeth and crunched the crystal cores to pieces.

The hard Thunder-type crystal cores sounded like crispy snacks, making a crisp crunching sound in the Thunder Tooth Wolf's mouth.

Golden electric arcs appeared on their fur.

The golden electric arcs flickered in the dark night, then the arcs spread out and dissipated in the air; eating something good made the Thunder Tooth Wolf extremely happy.

The two Thunder Tooth Wolves cleared a path, signaling Ye Bai to walk faster so as not to block the entrance.

The Thunder Tooth Wolves guarding the Underground Black Market gate have a decent attitude, but you must present that gilded Black Card, otherwise the Thunder Tooth Wolves will consider you an outside force and actively attack.

This is the rule of the Underground Black Market; no one can violate it.

Ye Bai walked in wearing a mask.

Through his Insight Eye, he could sense that there were many treasures here.

Some had large gray mists, and some had small gray mists.

Ye Bai also judged the value of the treasures by the size of the gray mist.

Following the mist, he arrived at a stall where many magical artifacts were displayed.

Among them, there were even several silver-white Dragon Slaying Swords.

However, Ye Bai could sense that there was no gray mist on the Dragon Slaying Swords, which meant these Dragon Slaying Swords were fake.

The level of forgery is truly high; they are imitated vividly, and even the positions of the dragon scales are almost exactly the same.

This proves that they have a real Dragon Slaying Sword in their hands.

Ye Bai had compared them before; there is an essential difference between the Hundred Dragon Slash and the Thousand Dragon Slash, and the number of dragon scales on the sword body is also different.

Seeing Ye Bai's gaze lingering on the Dragon Slaying Sword, the stall owner let out a hoarse voice from under his mask: "This is a top-tier treasure, the Dragon Slaying Sword."

"Since ancient times, it has been used to slay corrupt emperors above and treacherous officials below."

Uncle Ye Bai, you've mixed up your lines, right? That thing you're talking about is the Imperial Sword, isn't it?

I know you want to sell your items, but you don't have to mix up your lines.

At this moment, Ye Bai's gaze landed on a gray, misty mirror fragment on the stall.

This mirror fragment is only a quarter in size, but it contains a gray mist that even the Insight Eye cannot see through.

This proves that the mirror fragment is a treasure.

The stall owner talked incessantly, constantly recommending the Dragon Slaying Sword, and Ye Bai nodded in agreement.

The mirror fragment was placed next to a pile of miscellaneous items, and there were quite a few good things in that pile of miscellaneous items.

Ye Bai stretched out his finger and pointed at the pile of miscellaneous items, gesturing a price offer.

"Customer, you really have a good eye; what you see is a fragment of an ancient divine artifact."

Ye Bai's mouth twitched again; if you keep talking like this, everything here will be a divine artifact.

"For such good things, it's hard for me to quote a price. How about this, ten Black Gold Coins per item."

Ten Black Gold Coins is equivalent to ten thousand Alliance Coins; although Ye Bai has money, he is not a sucker.

He directly held up one finger, then opened up a palm.

Ye Bai's meaning was one Black Gold Coin for five miscellaneous items.

At this, the stall owner remained silent for a long time before nodding heavily.

He put on a reluctant look, though he was actually overjoyed inside; these inconspicuous items were all things he had acquired at a very low price.

Even one black gold coin would be a huge profit.

So the stall owner sighed and made a gesture of closing the deal, as if saying, "I'm only agreeing to such a low price for your sake."

Ye Bai did not yet know what the mirror fragment was useful for, so he casually placed it into his Pet Beast Space.

He wandered around the Underground Black Market several times; some treasures had their prices clearly marked, while others were pearls covered in dust.

The treasures with marked prices were all on the high side, and if they were of little use to him, Ye Bai would not even bother asking the price.

However, after circling several times, he had not discovered the shell of a Destiny Turtle.

Could it be that fate had not yet arrived?

After all, the Destiny Turtle had touched upon the laws of fate to some extent, so Ye Bai felt it was quite normal that he could not find it.

At this moment, a person wrapped in a black cloth rushed hurriedly toward Ye Bai, with two people resembling Underground Black Market security guards chasing behind him.

Something resembling a turtle shell fell out from the black cloth and happened to roll right to Ye Bai's feet.

"Stand still, don't run, you fellow who snuck into the black market."

"Stop, don't run."

That person knew something had fallen, but there was no time to turn back, so he gritted his teeth and continued fleeing into the distance.

Ye Bai saw that this turtle shell was filled with dense gray mist.

At this moment, under the inspection of Ye Bai's Insight Eye, the black mist on the turtle shell dissipated.

【Destiny Turtle Shell: Possesses the effect of concealing heavenly secrets. Wearing it on one's body can reject the detection of others. Holding the Destiny Turtle Shell and silently thinking of an object, the shell will provide guidance.】

"Got it, the Destiny Turtle Shell."

"It's just a pity I don't know who that person was, otherwise I could have paid him the full reward."

Ye Bai did not like ill-gotten gains; he felt that everything in the black market had a price tag and must be traded fairly so as not to break the rules of the black market.

There was still some time before dawn, so Ye Bai simply strolled around the surroundings.

He then discovered a very rare ingredient—the Seven-Treasure Mushroom.

This type of mushroom is extremely rare and has colors like a rainbow; it is said that one can taste the deliciousness of seven different mushrooms in a Seven-Treasure Mushroom.

The Seven-Treasure Mushrooms Ye Bai saw were all dried; as long as they are soaked in warm water for a period of time, they can be restored to their original state.

The Seven-Treasure Mushrooms were clearly priced at one black gold coin per 10 grams, so Ye Bai simply bought up all of this delicacy.

Adding up all these Seven-Treasure Mushrooms, the total cost was less than one hundred black gold coins; Ye Bai felt he had made a huge profit.

If these Seven-Treasure Mushrooms could be cooked together with Eight-Treasure Chicken, it would likely be the supreme delicacy.

There were many ingredients in the Underground Black Market, and Ye Bai even saw Puffer-Whales.

This is a whale that is snow-white all over and filled with poison sacs inside its body.

Although it is small, its muscles are very firm, and it is a thousand times more delicious than a pufferfish.

These Puffer-Whales generally appear in deep-sea caves, a place that is extremely dangerous; only a powerful Pet Beast Master could possibly enter the deep-sea caves where Puffer-Whales are located.

It is said that in the whole world, those who can process Puffer-Whales number no more than a handful.

Moreover, as soon as these creatures are slightly stimulated, the poison sacs in their bodies will rupture directly, turning them into Highly Toxic meat.

This kind of meat is simply lethal upon contact with blood, but it can allow people to possess extreme pleasure.

Every year, the number of people who die from Puffer-Whales is not small.

The price in the black market is not expensive either, 10 black gold coins per one.

There were a total of six Puffer-Whales swimming happily in the water tank.

When Ye Bai paid the sufficient reward, the stall owner directly picked up a tool and poked the Puffer-Whale heavily.

The Puffer-Whale then floated to the surface with its belly up.

"My acupoint-striking on the Puffer-Whale can last for twelve hours."

"After twelve hours, the Puffer-Whale will wake up."

"It is a specially processed ingredient; if it is slightly startled, its poison sacs will rupture."

"Once bought, no returns; after you buy the Puffer-Whale I caught, if an accident happens, it is none of my business."

The stall owner said to Ye Bai in a leisurely manner.

At this time, Ye Bai discovered another very rare ingredient—the Whitening Tuna.

People who have eaten it will have skin that becomes as tender and white as snow; it is a beauty holy product, and it is said to taste very good as well.

Its meat is delicate and tastes much better than Bluefin Tuna.

However, as for the price, it is a bit expensive, one hundred black gold coins per one.

"If you buy this Whitening Tuna, I'll give you a cheaper price; I want to close my stall."

The stall owner said indifferently.

Updated late today, sorry, sorry.
