Chapter 124 Visiting the Black Market

Ye Bai is currently at the entrance of the black market.

Two plump and strong Thunder Fang wolves were guarding this place.

Ye Bai showed a gilded dragon card to the gatekeeper, Lei Ya Lang.

This is your pass to the black market.

The Thunder Fang Wolf has a very honest and simple appearance. When it stands up, it is about two meters tall, and its two canine teeth that are exposed in its mouth are like crescent moon blades.

Their fur is blue, and their bodies faintly shimmer with electricity.

The Thunder Fang Wolf is an extremely loyal pet, its value equivalent to that of a Charcoal Dog or a Snow Dog.

Its teeth are like sharp saw teeth, and it has a mane like a lion on its neck. It draws in massive amounts of electricity to increase its current intensity.

If they lived in the wild, they would follow the trail of lightning on stormy nights.

Of course, they are also top carnivorous predators, and negatively charged rabbits are one of their food sources.

Young Thunder Fang Wolves feed on various metal ores. After extracting the metal elements from the ores, they gradually condense them on their bodies, enhancing their electrical conductivity.

It is said that their noses can find traces of mineral veins, and some prospectors will specially breed Thunder Fang Wolves to find mineral veins.

At the same time, Thunder Fang Wolf's nose is also very sensitive, and it can smell contraband.

Fighting is strictly prohibited in the underground black market. If caught, the consequences range from a fine to expulsion from the black market, from which the person may never be allowed to re-enter.

Upon seeing this exceptionally magnificent Thunder Fang Wolf, detailed data about the Thunder Fang Wolf appeared in Ye Bai's eyes.

Name: Thunder Fang Wolf

[Gender: Male]

【Special Ability: Thunderstorm: In an environment filled with thunderstorms, the user's attack power is doubled, and speed is greatly increased.】

[Level: Tier 3, Level 6]

[Attribute: Thunder + Metal]

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

Thunder Roar (Proficient): Opens its mouth and spews out ripples of lightning that will deal extremely high damage to the opponent if it hits.

Electric Ball (Skilled): Spews out two lightning balls from its mouth to attack the opponent.

Magnetic Manipulation (Proficient): Manipulate nearby magnetic fields to control ores and attack enemies.

[Evolution Route 1: Thunder Wolf: 3 Tier 4 Thunder Cores, 3 Tier 4 Thunder Crystals, bathe in lightning to complete the final evolution.]

[Evolution Route 2: Thundersteel Wolf: Complete the final evolution in the ore vein using 3 Tier 4 Thunder Crystal Cores and 3 Tier 4 Metal Crystal Cores.]

After Ye Bai saw the Thunder Fang Wolf at the gate, he took out two or three second-tier lightning-type crystal cores from his pet space and tossed them to the Thunder Fang Wolf.

The Thunder Fang Wolf revealed its dagger-like teeth and crunched away at the crystal core.

The hard lightning-type crystal core, like a crunchy snack, made a crisp crunching sound in the mouth of the Thunder Fang Wolf.

Golden arcs of electricity appeared on their fur.

Golden arcs of electricity flickered in the darkness, then spread out and dissipated in the air. Having eaten something delicious made Thunder Fang Wolf extremely happy.

The two Thunder Fang wolves made way for Ye Bai, signaling him to hurry up so as not to block the intersection.

The guard at the black market gate, Lei Ya Lang, was quite friendly, but you had to hand over the gilded black card; otherwise, Lei Ya Lang would assume you were an outsider and attack you.

These are the rules of the black market, and no one can break them.

Ye Bai walked in wearing a mask.

He could sense through his Eye of Insight that there were many treasures here.

Some areas have thicker gray fog, while others have thinner gray fog.

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

He followed the mist to a stall where many magical artifacts were displayed.

Among them were several silver-white dragon-slaying swords.

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

The level of forgery is truly high; the imitation is so lifelike that even the position of the dragon scales is almost identical.

This proves that they possess a genuine dragon-slaying sword.

Ye Bai compared them again and found that the Hundred Dragon Slash and the Thousand Dragon Slash were fundamentally different, and the number of dragon scales on the swords was also different.

The stall owner's gaze lingered on Ye Bai's Dragon-Slaying Sword, and a hoarse voice emanated from beneath his mask: "This is a top-tier treasure, the Dragon-Slaying Sword."

"Since ancient times, the emperor has been beheaded for being a tyrannical ruler, and the ministers for being treacherous officials."

Uncle Ye Bai, you've got the wrong channel. The one you're talking about is the Imperial Sword, right?

I know you want to sell your stuff, but you don't need to use misleading language.

At this moment, Ye Bai's gaze fell on a grayish shard of mirror on the stall.

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

This proves that the mirror fragment is a treasure.

The stall owner was very talkative and kept recommending the Dragon Slayer Sword, and Ye Bai nodded in agreement.

The shards of the mirror were placed next to a pile of junk, among which were quite a few valuable items.

Ye Bai pointed to the pile of junk and made a bidding gesture.

"Guest, you have excellent taste; you've spotted fragments of an ancient artifact."

Ye Bai's lips twitched again. If he kept going like this, everything he had would be a divine artifact. "I can't give a price for such good things. How about this, ten black gold coins per piece."

Ten black gold coins are equivalent to ten thousand alliance coins. Although Ye Bai is rich, he is not a sucker.

He simply extended one finger and then opened his palm.

Ye Bai means one black gold coin and five miscellaneous items.

The stall owner remained silent for a long time before nodding heavily.

He appeared reluctant, but was secretly overjoyed. He had acquired these unassuming items at very low prices.

Even a single black gold coin can be incredibly profitable.

So the stall owner sighed, made a closing gesture, as if to say, "I'm only willing to go for such a low price because of you."

Ye Bai didn't know what the mirror fragment was for, so he casually put it into his pet space.

He wandered around the underground black market several times; some treasures had their prices displayed, while others were covered in dust.

The treasures with clearly stated prices are all quite expensive. If they are not of much use to him, Ye Bai would not even bother to inquire about the price.

However, after circling around several times, he still couldn't find the shell of the Destiny Turtle.

Is it just that our time hasn't come yet?
After all, the Heavenly Turtle had come into contact with some of the laws of destiny, so it was normal for Ye Bai to feel that he couldn't discover it.

At this moment, a person wrapped in a black cloth rushed towards Ye Bai, with two people who looked like black market urban management officers chasing after him.

A tortoise-shell-shaped object fell from the black cloth and rolled right at Ye Bai's feet.

"Stand still, don't run, you black market bastard."

"Stop! Don't run!"

The man knew something had fallen, but he didn't have time to turn around, so he gritted his teeth and continued to flee into the distance.

Ye Bai saw that the tortoise shell was filled with a thick gray mist.

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

[The shell of the Destiny Turtle: It possesses the power to conceal heavenly secrets. Wearing it on your person can prevent others from probing you. Holding the shell of the Destiny Turtle in your hand and silently reciting something will allow the shell to provide guidance.]

"Got it, the shell of the Destiny Turtle."

"I wonder who that person was, otherwise I could have paid him the full amount."

Ye Bai didn't like windfall gains. He believed that everything in the black market had a price tag and that fair trade was essential to avoid violating the rules of the black market.

Since there was still some time before dawn, Ye Bai decided to take a stroll around the area.

He then discovered a very rare ingredient – ​​the Seven Treasures Mushroom.

This mushroom is very rare, with rainbow-like colors. It is said that the Seven Treasures Mushroom can taste the flavors of seven different mushrooms.

The seven-treasure mushrooms that Ye Bai saw were all dried. They could be restored to their original state by soaking them in warm water for a period of time.

The Seven Treasures Mushrooms were clearly priced, one black gold coin for 10 grams, so Ye Bai simply bought all of this delicious treat.

With all these Seven Treasures Mushrooms added together, the total cost was less than one hundred black gold coins, which Ye Bai felt was a huge profit.

If these seven-treasure mushrooms could be cooked with eight-treasure chicken, it would probably be the ultimate delicacy.

The underground black market had a wide variety of ingredients, and Ye Bai even saw a pufferfish whale.

This is a whale that is entirely white and has venom sacs throughout its body.

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

These pufferfish whales usually appear in underwater caves, which are extremely dangerous places. Only powerful pet masters can enter the underwater caves where the pufferfish whales live.

It is said that there are only a handful of people in the world who can handle pufferfish and whales.

Moreover, these creatures will rupture their poison sacs and turn into highly toxic flesh with the slightest stimulation.

This kind of meat is so deadly it can kill instantly, but it can give people the ultimate pleasure.

Every year, a significant number of people die from pufferfish and whales.

The price on the black market isn't high either, 10 black gold coins per item.

There are a total of six pufferfish whales swimming happily in the tank.

After Ye Bai paid the full amount, the stall owner picked up a tool and slammed it into the pufferfish whale.

The pufferfish whale then floated to the surface, belly up.

"My acupressure technique on pufferfish whales can last for twelve hours."

"The pufferfish whale will wake up after twelve hours."

"It is a specially processed food, and its venom sac will rupture if it is even slightly startled."

"Once you've placed your order, it's over. If anything goes wrong after you buy the pufferfish whale I caught, it's none of my business."

The stall owner spoke leisurely to Ye Bai.

At this time, Ye Bai discovered another very rare ingredient – ​​whitened tuna.

Those who have eaten it will have skin as white and tender as snow; it is a beauty product, and it is also said to taste very good.

Its flesh is tender and tastes much better than bluefin tuna.

However, the price is a bit high, 100 black gold coins per item.

"If you buy this white tuna, I'll give you a discount; I'm thinking of closing up shop now."

The stall owner said casually.

Sorry for the late update today.
