Chapter 1063

Just hearing about it sounds terrifying—absolutely not going there.

Definitely going to give it a wide berth.

First, head to the nearest trading post.

The road was lined with street lamps the whole way, and the surroundings were brightly lit.

Around him were travelers from other merchant caravans, still mostly men.

They walked arm-in-arm, laughing and joking together as they headed into the town's inner area.

Zhao Chi's stamina was extremely strong now; he jogged the whole way and quickly ran out of the caravan parking area.

The moment he stepped out, it was immediately different.

Bustling and crowded.

Packed with people.

Both sides of the road were lined with small eateries.

The heavy smell of grilled meat drilled into his nostrils.

The scent of spices and oil drifted everywhere.

Quite a few people sat at tables, eating heartily.

"Handsome fellow, come have a bite—it's very cheap, only 7 copper coins a skewer."

The proprietress greeted him warmly.

She was a dark elf, pitch-black all over, wearing a red apron and a cloth cap.

Her figure was slender, but her skin had a remarkable sheen.

He couldn't tell whether dark elves were naturally like that, or whether this proprietress had been smoked that way by the cooking fumes.

Her looks were indeed elven—although the coloring was different, her features were very delicate.

So that's what dark elves look like.

"Handsome fellow, don't hesitate—what'll you have? We've got everything here, and there are seats inside too. Come on in?"

Zhao Chi actually felt a bit hungry too.

"What kind of meat is this?"

"All fresh lamb—see over there? They're still butchering it."

It really had been freshly slaughtered.

"Give me 10 skewers, I'll take them to go."

"You got it!"

Zhao Chi handed her 1 silver coin, and the proprietress gave him back 30 greasy copper coins in change.

Zhao Chi didn't want to take them.

"Never mind, give me one more kidney skewer."

"Sure!"

Zhao Chi ate as he walked—the flavor really wasn't bad.

After passing through this street, the eateries on the next street became fewer, but other types of shops increased. The air was much fresher, but the people were still plentiful.

Zhao Chi kept moving forward with the flow of people.

This place was simply a gathering spot for a hundred races.

In just three streets, he'd already spotted over a dozen different races.

He almost stepped on a catgirl by accident.

She only came up to Zhao Chi's waist, covered in white fur, with two cat ears standing on top of her head.

She let out sharp "meow meow meow meow meow" cries at Zhao Chi—he couldn't understand a word she was saying.

But she was definitely complaining at Zhao Chi, telling him to be more careful.

But Zhao Chi didn't really mind, and even found her a little cute.

A rat-man passed by beside him.

The rat-man glanced at the catgirl and squeaked something quietly twice, and the catgirl immediately turned to squeal at the rat-man instead.

A lizardman walked past beside them, dressed in a human maid's outfit.

It looked extremely bizarre.

Two soldiers were driving away a stone-man, not letting him walk down the middle of the road, afraid he'd damage the freshly paved smooth surface.

Behind them was a huge minotaur, with two succubi slung over his shoulders.

Each succubus gripped one of the minotaur's horns, chatting away merrily, while their two red tails scratched and scraped across the minotaur's broad back, making him snort noisily—and it stank.

There was even a human riding on four skeletons; the four skeletons acted like bone chairs, walking along obediently.
