The Spring City where Chu Qianxun is located is located in the northwest region of the continental plate.
It is said that the earliest city lord was a botanical Dana, so the vegetation inside and outside the town is dense, and flowers bloom from time to time. It is a rare oasis in this arid area, hence the name of spring.
From here to the north, the vegetation is gradually sparse, the land is severely desertified, and large-scale Gobi and desert gradually appear.
At this moment, in the lush Spring City, in the messy building, Chu Qianxun fiddled with the bag of emerald-like green demons on the table. Ye Peitian's action almost scared her to death, so she looked small A bag of Demon Seeds is so valuable that it can drive almost any saint in this city crazy.
For a fourth-order saint like Chu Qianxun, if he wants to improve his abilities, in addition to constantly hone himself in battle, he also needs to rely on taking fourth-order demons of the same rank. If you need to upgrade the level from the fourth level to the fifth level, it is even more necessary to take a fifth-level magic seed with a higher level when the ability reaches a critical state.
Therefore, most of the currency circulating in the world today are low-level demons of the first and second order, and the higher-order demons are more precious. Demon Seeds, as a necessities for improving combat ability, are needed by many saints, and high-level Demon Seeds are often priceless.
The ninth-order monster insomnia who appeared near the Spring City, the reason why the city lord Huan Shengjie paid such attention to it, he did not hesitate to spend huge sums of money to hire the help of the nearby major mercenary groups. Just go. Huan Shengjie is the highest-ranking saint in Spring City. He is already in the critical state of the eighth-order, and urgently needs the ninth-order demon to improve his rank. But even a city lord like him had to do his best to get a ninth-order demon.
But Ye Peitian sent her such a bag of demons, among which there were three ninth-order demons, and the rest of the lowest order was above seventh-order.
If any of these Demon Seeds are taken out in Spring City, they will attract many big bosses to loot. As a small fourth-order saint like Chu Qianxun, if he took out such a demon to the market, not only would he not be able to exchange for materials, but he would only bring himself to the calamity of death.
Chu Qianxun felt that Ye Peitian's original intention to send her Demon Seed might be to see her financial embarrassment, but at the moment she was a little bit dumbfounded, not knowing whether to call this person careful or too ignorant of the world. She felt the sadness that she had a huge amount of money but couldn't use it, and she carefully collected these high-level demons and hid them in the most secret corner of the house.
Lying on the bed and rolling around with the pillow, Chu Qianxun felt a little depressed. Even though he was sitting on a mountain of gold and silver, he could only eat bran and swallow vegetables, and he was still so poor.
I really don't know what kind of person this Ye Peitian is.
Chu Qianxun hugged the pillow and looked at Xia Xuanyue outside the window.
I don't know where he is and what he is doing at the moment.
From Spring City all the way to the northwest, the vegetation is reduced, the surface is dry, the ground is covered with coarse sand and gravel, and endless deserts appear.
In the center of the barren desert, there is a castle made of yellow sand,
The castle is very big, with countless rooms and long corridors. At night, the candles in the castle are brilliant, illuminating the whole castle brightly.
The faint Xia Xuanyue hung in the dark night sky, and the lighted sand castle isolated in the vast desert seemed extremely small.
The bleak moonlight shone on the balcony of the castle, where stood the only living being in the castle, leaning against the railing, bowing his head, looking at a cheap and worn-out night light in his hand.
In the candlelight that complemented each other, the small lamp only lit a faint and inconspicuous light.
The man's eyes didn't move for a long time, and his faint eyes seemed to see only the light in his hand.
The power of the sky, the thousands of miles of yellow sand, the man standing alone and the shadow, and a faintly bright lonely lamp.
The long night passed, the sky was slightly white, the night light flickered, and the light gradually faded,
The man who stayed in the dark all night moved his stiff limbs, frowning tightly for such a small lamp that lost power.
On the edge of the Gobi Desert, there is a small base where small humans gather, called Balang Base, which is adjacent to the desert, with the North Town with many strong men to the east, and the prosperous Spring City to the south. Because of its remote location and sparse population, the small Balang base is somewhat isolated and peaceful. The only thing that worries the villagers here is the yellow sand castle that appears and disappears in the middle of the deserted sand.
That is the residence of the demon Ye Peitian.
For the residents of these small towns whose information is closed, Ye Peitian is just a term that occasionally appears in the newspapers. When someone saw the yellow sand castle appear from a distance in the desert, there was a panic in their small base. But as the days passed, they found that the legendary devil did not bring much change to their lives, but since he came, nearby monsters and even bandits disappeared because of his stationing. Instead, it has become a small base where survival is relatively easy in the wasteland period.
On this day, the sky just dawned, and the morning market in the town just started.
A figure appeared at the entrance of the market. He was tall and thin, his curly hair covered his pale skin, and his expression was cold.
The middle-aged woman who had just brought out the dustpan was so frightened that she lost the dustpan in her hand, covered her child's mouth, and returned to the house in a few steps.
The salesman who was hawking and selling goods saw that face, like a chicken strangled by the neck, his high-pitched voice was muted at that moment, and he squatted behind the shelf in horror.
The five-five and three-thick vegetable vendor lost the vegetable leaves in his hand and hid in the alley behind him.
Pedestrians all the way rolled and crawled away, avoiding the young man who walked into the town without incident.
That listless face has been published countless times on the front pages of human newspapers, and his "great deeds" can even stop children from crying at night.
The owner of the grocery store, Lao Hu, was shivering behind the counter. On his counter was a glass jar filled with colorful candies. These expensive goods were used by him to decorate the facade, and the whole jar was polished to a perfect light. At this moment, he only wished that he could put away this conspicuous jar, for fear of attracting the attention of the great devil.
There was a slight click on the counter, and Old Husser shrank and raised his eyes cautiously.
A figure was standing in front of his counter with the light behind his back, his face was pale, his eyes were thick black, his eyebrows were half-covered with messy curly hair, and his eyes were cold and frightening.
Lao Hu's legs were weak, and his heart almost burst with fright.
It's done, I'm done, he thought in horror.
The sound of knocking on the counter rang again.
"This, the battery."
He heard some kind of low, hoarse voice.
The devil was talking to him. The desire to survive made him resist the terror in his heart and raised his head tremblingly.
In his pale, slender fingers, cheap and shabby nightlights rested on his mottled countertop.
Lao Hu finally understood.
The famous human demon is asking him for the battery of this toy-like thing.
"Wait a moment, please wait a moment."
The lamp uses the kind of small round battery the size of a button, which his store does not sell.
In order not to irritate the murderous Huangsha Emperor, he turned his head sharply and rummaged through several children's toys left over from the golden age among the piles of waste in the store.
Lao Hu hurriedly took apart the outer packaging of those toys, pulled out the battery gasket, and took out the battery inside.
He put several confirmed batteries on a small tray, raised them above his head with shaking hands, and carefully placed them on the counter.
He still huddled behind the counter, secretly peeping at the terrifying existence.
From his point of view, he could only see those long white fingers, as if they were treating some kind of treasure, he carefully opened the back cover of the night light and replaced the electromagnet.
After the electromagnet was replaced, the lamp lit up to meet Lao Hu Cheng's fearful heart.
The corners of the human demon's pale mouth seemed to twitch slightly.
All those who were hiding in the dark and peeking were faintly relieved in their hearts.
There was a loud sound on Lao Hu's tray, as if a breeze had blown.
After a while, he raised his head cautiously, the man standing in front of the counter had disappeared, a glass jar on the counter was opened, and there seemed to be a bag of candy inside.
On the empty tray, a gleaming green Demon Seed was rolling.
A sixth-order demon!
Old Hu shook his hands, stretched out his hand in disbelief and picked up the emerald-green Demon Seed, glanced at the sun, and quickly hid it in his arms.
His small grocery store, with all the things in the whole store added up, is not worth this expensive high-level demon.
That Huangsha Emperor paid such a high price for a few batteries and a pack of candy, Lao Hu could hardly believe his eyes.
He happily rubbed the Demon Seed in his arms through his clothes. He picked up a rag and wiped the glass jars of candy on the counter. Thanks to my cleverness, I put this conspicuous jar outside, otherwise there are so many grocery stores in town. How could such a lucky good thing fall on his own head
People hiding in the dark surrounded them,
"My God, the sixth-order demon."
"This guy's shot is really generous, Lao Hu, you made it."
"What am I saying, last time, this guy appeared in our town and took the food from my stall, and he also gave a reward to the high-level demons."
"Looking at it this way, I like that he can come a few more times and take care of my shop."
"Don't be stupid, you don't think about who it is. If one is not served well, if you turn your face, our whole town is in danger."
"What is the danger? There is no danger in this world today. Spring City looks prosperous, right? A ninth-order monster appeared recently. That is a ninth-order fallen! The city lord took the whole city's saints out of the city to fight, and fought for several days. I don't know how many people will die. Isn't it dangerous?"
People were excited, sighed, vigilant, and talked a lot.
Accompanied by the yellow sand, Ye Peitian slowly walked on the vast Gobi Desert outside the town, the gravel-covered ground rustled with his footsteps.
He opened the package of candies in his hand. This package of candies was beautifully packaged and brightly colored. Each candy was printed with beautiful patterns and sprinkled with a layer of white icing sugar. It looked high-end and delicate, very delicious and attractive. .
It looks much better than the dark yellow rock candy I ate last time.
Ye Peitian put one in his mouth and slowly took it, always feeling that the taste in his mouth was not right. No matter how you eat it, there is no such thrilling sweetness.
He pursed his thin lips, and there seemed to be a little tactile feeling left, and the finger rubbed lightly inadvertently, filling his mouth with unparalleled sweetness.
As the top powerhouse on this planet, his hearing is unusual. When he left, the voices of the town residents' discussions intermittently entered his ears.
Near Spring City, high-level monsters and most of the saints in the city were dispatched...
Ye Peitian's footsteps turned a corner unconsciously, heading towards the Spring City where he had just returned.
