Chapter 24: Capital of Trading a Bird‑Gun for a Cannon!

After waiting about half an hour after Ta Ke left.

An elderly wizard hurried over.

He is the deputy leader of the Hunter Gang, second only to leader Ba Sha Mu.

"Where's the leader?"

The old wizard asked the gate guard.

"He's still inside."

"Hmm!"

The old wizard nodded, about to go in, but seemed to recall something.

"Did you notice any suspicious personnel?"

The old wizard asked again.

"There are no suspicious personnel."

The guard shook his head.

"But there is one non‑suspicious person."

"Yi Deng·Ge Lai Si Dun, who had left earlier, turned back and seems injured."

"After staying inside for a while, he hurried away again."

"It's bad!"

The old wizard felt something was wrong.

"You didn't check him?" the old wizard scolded softly.

The two guards huddled their necks.

Who would dare check Yi Deng·Ge Lai Si Dun, that cruel, blood‑soaked man? Isn't that courting death?

The old wizard had no time to deal with the two gate knights who could just stand here "watching the gate" as long as the gate wasn't lost, and he pushed the door and walked inside.

Soon after, the old wizard ran out like a madman.

"Damned bastard..."

"Immediately, call everyone over at once."

"No matter what, find that traitor Yi Deng·Ge Lai Si Dun for me."

"The living must be seen, the dead must be seen as corpses."

The angry roar made the two gate knights pause, then they hurriedly went to summon people.

Having gained something, Ta Ke did not go to Lao Ke Mu right away.

Whether it was that thread's probing of Ta Ke.

Or, after the scandal broke, the investigation of Yi Deng·Ge Lai Si Dun.

If Ta Ke went there now to sell goods, it would undoubtedly be courting trouble.

Lord Ao Bu Li's place.

It could be gone to.

But Ta Ke has a better place to complete the transaction.

La Mo Er Gao Ta Cheng Bang, being the springboard for Sheng Lan De Chao Fan Cheng Bang to enter the dangerous Ashlands.

On one hand, because extending from La Mo Er Gao Ta Cheng Bang into the wilderness leads to many areas with special resources.

At the same time, there are many low‑level supernatural fauna such as Gou Tou Ren, Di Jing, Ge Bu Lin, Huang Yuan Jing Ling Zu, etc.

Suitable for students of Sheng Lan De Chao Fan Xue Yuan to complete trials.

Another reason is that

La Mo Er Gao Ta Cheng Bang has a "Di Xue Shi Chang" with the Di Xue Ren.

The Di Xue Ren also have good trade relations with the Gou Tou Ren tribe that occupies the dungeon.

Thus serving as a channel.

The Di Xue Shi Chang of La Mo Er Gao Ta Cheng Bang offers many fine underground goods.

Each time the Day of Ash rises, merchants arrive at Di La Mo Er Cheng Bang.

The Di Xue Ren‑led Di Xue Shi Chang deep underground is a place many merchants won't miss.

Dim, silent, spacious cave passages.

Ta Ke carried a Ying Guang Bi Deng obtained from the Hunter Gang, which he had modified into a Ying Guang Ma Deng.

The Ying Guang Ma Deng illuminated the not‑very‑wide passage.

Soon, two Di Xue Ren guards clad in thick gray‑rock armor appeared within Ta Ke's sight.

The two Di Xue Ren guards glanced at the Ying Guang Ma Deng in Ta Ke's hand and let him pass.

Entering the Di Xue Shi Chang, the extremely spacious underground area housed many fluorescent‑lamp stalls.

They sold various unique resources from underground.

And the many good items Ta Ke obtained on this hunt, especially potions and semi‑finished materials,

are hot commodities in the underground world.

Supernatural weapons are the same.

Twisting the Ying Guang Ma Deng, Ta Ke began repeatedly selling his hunted "loot" at each stall.

After roughly two more hours.

Ta Ke finally, satisfied, lifted the Ying Guang Ma Deng and left the Di Xue Shi Chang.

A relatively clean underground passage.

At this time, Taku had already restored his appearance.

Took out a small section of living wood.

For this small section of living wood, Taku spent 8 magic gold.

After slightly activating the "Living Wood Skin Armor" with source power, Taku attached the small section of living wood onto the Living Wood Skin Armor.

Shortly after, the Living Wood Skin Armor revealed a mouth and directly swallowed the small section of living wood.

Then came the "creak... creak..." sound of hard chewing.

As chewing and digestion proceeded, the originally damaged Living Wood Skin Armor also gradually recovered.

After doing all that.

Only then did Taku twist the fluorescent horse lamp back on and head toward the surface.

This time entering the 【Underground Market】.

Besides the Living Wood Skin Armor, and the slightly damaged alchemist's robe.

Taku disposed of all the items.

In those extraordinary storage bracelets, there might be something easily traceable.

Better to get rid of them as soon as possible.

Even if Taku left two pieces of extraordinary equipment.

These two pieces of extraordinary equipment, Taku also plans to reforge them before they can be used again.

Sold the total assets of two second-rank extraordinary beings.

Moreover, one of them was an alchemist.

This time's harvest was quite gratifying.

468 magic gold.

This is all the magic gold obtained from the sale.

Plus the magic gold originally belonging to Eden Gleaston.

Now the amount of magic gold in Taku's hands has exceeded the 600 mark.

To many extraordinary beings, this is already considered a huge sum.

These magic gold are also Taku's capital for exchanging bird guns for cannons.

"Before, when I made the sacrifice."

"The trajectory of the sacrifice's context went to two regions."

"One is the bunker area, the other is the tower area."

"Is the A-rank extraordinary genius of the Eclipse Day Church hiding in the Tower Area?"

"That obviously seems unlikely."

"The bunker area is very likely where that Eclipse Day Church genius is located."

"And the context of the tower area..."

Taku's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Obviously, there are also members of the Eclipse Day Church in the Tower Area, even core members!"

"I made contact with the tower through Lord Aubri; if walking inside the tower, one must be careful."

"If one really encounters them, even if discovering traces, one must feign ignorance."

"That A-rank genius, within the previous Ash Day cycle, did not complete steam ascension."

"Now it is the Ash Date, at least more than half a month left, even twenty days of time, for them to prepare adequately."

"During this period, I have plenty of time to digest the extraordinary equipment, treasures, magic gold, and other resources in my hands."

"With so many resources, my strength can at least roughly double."

"During the study period, there is an opportunity to secretly investigate the bunker area."

"Having located the position, if there is an opportunity, I will act alone."

"If truly impossible, requesting Lord Aubri is also not unacceptable."

Taku, on the march, silently formulated his plan.

Relying on SS-rank 【Precision】, I discerned the possible location of the Eclipse Day Church's A-rank genius.

Taku, lurking in the dark, has ample time and space to prepare.

Moreover, seize the initiative!
