Trials of the Abyss

Chapter 164: Internal trading floor

Views:

Above the broken ground.

It was like a huge roc in a dark cloud, with a wingspan of more than ten feet. The joints of its feathers seemed like fine iron, and it looked as if it was full of power.

At this moment, the light released from its beast eyes was full of greedy desire for the flesh and blood of the practitioners.

Pang Jian, who was in the third realm, could vaguely feel with the help of the Erosion Vine that it not only possessed amazing wisdom, but also hated human practitioners to the extreme.

Due to the infection and coverage of the dirty alien power, the many birds and beasts that have mutated seem to follow its lead.

Pang Jian, who originally intended to obtain some exotic flowers and fruits from the Erosion Vine, temporarily gave up because of its existence.

After observing silently for a while, Pang Jian took the initiative to cut off the connection with the Erosion Vine.

Cave No. 56.

Pang Jian was sitting on a cushion with a frown on his face, his expression slightly gloomy.

The huge black roc should be an extremely outstanding ferocious beast in the fourth realm. Benefiting from the infection of the filthy alien power, its power level has increased rapidly, and its wisdom has also undergone a major transformation.

It thus became the leader of many birds and beasts.

Pang Jian guessed that it stepped out from the broken land under the jurisdiction of the Ouyang family and planned to invade other broken lands of the human race.

Fate may just be its resting place or a stepping stone.

Next.

The Dong family, the Su family, the Ning family, and the Zhou family, those fragments of land that have not yet been contaminated by the dirty alien power are very likely to suffer the crazy attacks of this group of mutated ferocious beasts.

even.

The alien women from the fifth realm and the warriors of various races sent up may also be attacked by the mutated ferocious beasts.

Even though the Heaven-reaching Tribulation Pillar has loosened up now, it still restricts the stronger alien races in the lower realm. Only warriors below level five can successfully break through the ban.

When alien warriors of levels one to four arrive at the broken land of Ouyang and Shangguan's families and encounter mutated ferocious beasts, what will happen

That terrifying black roc was definitely beyond the scope of a level four ferocious beast, and its combat power was still growing rapidly.

And it does not come from the fifth realm.

Being full of hatred towards the human race, it may not care about the alien races in the lower world. The birds and beasts it commands seem to only want to eat as much flesh and blood of the strong as possible.

The human race and alien warriors from the underworld may all become its targets.

Due to the sudden growth of the mutated ferocious beasts, the situation in the fourth realm below will only become more chaotic, and the space for the seven major families to move around will become smaller and smaller.

A large-scale migration is not only inevitable, but it may also have to be accelerated.

If it's late...

“Boom boom boom!”

While Pang Jian was deep in thought, he suddenly heard a knock on the door.

Han Ting whispered outside: "Pang Jian, you can go to the trading floor today."

She felt refreshed after recovering from her injuries, and under the golden sunlight, she was radiant with vitality.

"Yes, here I come."

After pushing open the stone door and walking out, Pang Jian nodded at her and frowned, "The agreement between you and me ended last night. You don't have to..."

"I appreciate your help."

Han Ting expressed her sincere thanks first, and then said, "I have nothing to do anyway, and this is your first time attending Cao Laoguai's gathering, so I want to help you get familiar with it."

"Okay."

Pang Jian did not refuse.

Soon, the two reached the top of the first peak again.

The wooden building is the trading place. At this time, the wooden doors are open, allowing those with tokens to enter.

Many of the early arrivals have already headed towards the trading floor.

"Only those who have a transaction record in the previous three days are allowed to enter."

Han Ting raised the token in her hand and explained to Pang Jian with a smile: "For every transaction we make, as long as we give those women in white a 10% commission, there will be a related record. For the trading venue open today, there must be at least one transaction in the token, otherwise you will not be allowed to enter."

Pang Jian was a little surprised. He took out his token and looked at it, and found several bars under the word "Mang".

The purchase of Sunstone, Thunderwood and Golden Obsidian, every transaction seemed to have an extra bar.

"On the seventh day, the final trading day hosted by Old Monster Cao himself, you must be in the trading floor and have a transaction to participate."

Han Ting gracefully walked towards the trading floor and continued to introduce: "You should know that every transaction in the trading floor costs tens of thousands of spirit stones. Some transactions even use tens of thousands of spirit stones. Old Monster Cao can make a lot of money just by taking a commission!"

As they were talking, the two men arrived in front of a wooden door.

At this moment, the women in white standing in front of each door were checking the tokens of those entering.

After taking a look at the horizontal bar under the word "Mang" in Pang Jian and Han Ting's tokens, a woman in white smiled and let them go.

internal.

The layout of the trading floor is very similar to the exterior, also in a circular shape, with a wooden platform in front of a futon.

In addition, there is a huge round platform in the center of the trading floor.

At the edge of the circular platform, there were many women in white clothes sitting, smiling as they looked at the people walking around.

There was a beautiful woman with a gentle temperament, wearing an extremely expensive palace gauze skirt, which made her stand out among the women in white.

She wore a pearl necklace around her slender neck, a jade necklace around her slender waist, and her hairpins were also adorned with gems.

The graceful and elegant woman, with a faint smile on her lips, nodded frequently at people she knew.

"Everyone calls her Madam Hua. She is the woman of Old Monster Cao, and she presides over the internal trading venue."

Han Ting introduced softly.

As soon as the words "Mrs. Hua" were uttered, the graceful and beautiful woman in the noisy trading field looked over.

It seemed that no matter how noisy the environment was, she could hear anyone mentioning her name.

As soon as she saw her looking at her, Han Ting forced a smile, nodded and bowed towards her, and whispered, "My friend is participating for the first time, so he doesn't know much about the situation. I'm just introducing him. Please don't blame me, Madam."

Mrs. Hua nodded imperceptibly, her eyes shifted elsewhere, no longer paying attention to Han Ting.

Suddenly, Pang Jian felt a thorn in his side, so he suddenly turned his head.

When he suddenly turned his head, Zhang Bin immediately retracted the coldness in his eyes and looked away as usual.

"Useless coward!"

Han Ting also noticed Zhang Bin, curled her lips and sneered, saying: "He only dared to look at you coldly in the dark. When he found that you noticed him, he didn't even dare to show his hatred."

"Your identity as a descendant of an aristocratic family in the upper realm makes him hate and fear you, but he has to hide his hatred in his heart."

"Oh, how could I be interested in a man like this?"

Han Ting commented with disdain.

Pang Jian nodded.

Han Ting immediately pulled him from the door to the corner and whispered, "Today's participants will have fewer people, but their status will be much higher."

"I see."

Pang Jian, who was pulled to a corner by her, had already seen many people wearing robes of the five major sects mixed in the crowd.

As for the independent cultivators who had attended the conference on the first day, most of them were nowhere to be found. It was obvious that they knew that they did not have enough spirit stones and it would be a waste of time to enter the trading field.

The children of aristocratic families, sects, and the best among the independent cultivators are the main force in today's trading market.

"If you want to participate in the grand finale hosted by Old Monster Cao, you must come during these three days and either buy something or sell something. Therefore, you can see many famous people in the Third Realm."

Han Ting kept introducing it in a low voice.

"Hey, little brother, you are here too?"

While Han Ting was speaking, Lei Kun, a casual cultivator at the state of concentration, suddenly emerged from another wooden door.

As soon as he came in, he glanced at the participants around him and saw Pang Jian and Han Ting.

So he took the initiative to step forward and greeted her, saying with a smile, "I just stayed in Cave No. 57 for a while. Later, because of other things, I didn't continue to rent that cave, and I didn't have time to say hello to you."

"Hello, senior."

Pang Jian bowed slightly.

"I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it!"

Lei Kun also behaved very politely, and said with a smile: "Little brother has the demeanor of a great man. For the little misunderstanding at that time, little brother was willing to put aside his attitude and explain. I am a little flattered."

Pang Jian humbly stated: "It is true that I offended Senior Lei with my words, but Senior was magnanimous and did not take it seriously."

Lei Kun's smile became brighter. He nodded, glanced at Han Ting, and said, "Don't bother me. I'll take a look around too."

Not far away.

"Sister Ting, it seems like you have really climbed up the ladder."

Fang Xin bit her teeth lightly.

She, who was originally leaning against Zhang Bin, slowly distanced herself from him.

She looked at the tall, stern-looking young man in black, and then glanced secretly at Zhang Bin beside her.

"We are both in the Xiantian realm, but he is from a great family in the upper realm. Although Zhang Bin's realm is higher, he... is just a casual cultivator after all, and he is much older. Why, why is Han Ting's life better than mine? Just because she has big breasts and a big butt?"

Fang Xin, who had been secretly competing with Han Ting all her life, had a changeable look on her face and mixed feelings.

"Lei Kun!"

Zhang Bin took a deep breath.

He lowered his head slightly, not daring to stare at Pang Jian and Han Ting for too long, for fear that his repeated secret spying would eventually anger Pang Jian.

Even Lei Kun was polite to Pang Jian. Pang Jian must be from a truly powerful family and was definitely not someone that a mere casual cultivator like him could mess with.

"This bitch..."

Glancing at the sad Fang Xin, Zhang Bin immediately saw through her thoughts and suddenly felt bored.

"Perhaps, I should have sincerely apologized last night and asked Han Ting to forgive me, instead of..."

"If it doesn't work, I will capture that bitch Fang Xin and let her deal with her! I hope that after she calms down through Fang Xin, she can forgive us for what we did before."

Zhang Bin secretly thought about how to dispel Han Ting's hostility and resolve the conflict between him and Han Ting.

"Oh!"

Mrs. Hua, who had been standing in the center of the stage, suddenly flew towards a wooden door with a smile on her face.

She glared at a girl in white and said, "You blind girl! She is Zhao Yuanqi from Hongshan. She doesn't need a token!"

"Miss Zhao, you're welcome!"

The graceful and elegant Mrs. Hua bowed slightly and stood in front of the wooden door to welcome them personally.

Soon, Zhao Yuanqi, with a ponytail, silver hair, and a huge wine gourd on her back, walked in with a cold face.

Behind her, Jiang Li, who also did not have a token, was timid and hesitant.

"Let's go."

Zhao Yuanqi took her hand and led her into the trading floor, saying coldly, "Most of Yuan Mang's so-called rules cannot constrain you and me."

"Miss Zhao's presence here brings honor to our humble home. Naturally, we will make an exception for you!"

Mrs. Hua smiled sincerely and nodded repeatedly.

She personally brought Zhao Yuanqi in and enthusiastically introduced her: "Today is just the beginning, so there may not be anything good that you like. But don't worry, on the last day, there will definitely be some rare treasures that you will like!"

In the corner.

"Why don't those rules you told me work on her?"

Pang Jian wondered.

Han Ting smiled bitterly: "Because she is Zhao Yuanqi."
