Zhang Xing took the 500 crystals and left happily. The rest of the competition had nothing to do with him, and there was no need to watch it.
He left the Magician Guild and went to a place where there was no one. He used his Dragon Energy to change into the appearance of the dwarf Zhang Kong, changed his clothes, and strolled on the street. About two hours later, the sky was getting dark. It was the appointed time, and he walked toward the Blacksmith Guild.
At the gate, he happened to meet President Morte who was rushing back from the Magician Guild.
"Senior, please rest here for a while. I'll be back soon."
Morte invited Zhang Xing into the guest room. After greeting him, he hurried to the black market's secret stronghold to inquire about the news.
Two hours later, Morte came to the room with an excited face.
"Senior, there's good news!"
Hearing the voice transmission, Zhang Xing's expression changed. He did not appear to be very anxious. Instead, he picked up the teacup on the table and took a small sip.
He put down the teacup and said lightly, "Say it!"
"Senior, there's an auction in the early hours of the morning. According to reliable sources, someone is selling two Earth Demon cubs!"
Morte said with a mysterious look.
"What's an Earth Demon?"
Zhang Xing frowned.
"Oh!
This is the black market's jargon. It means a land dragon!
You can't say anything about dragons inside. "
"Those who violate the rules will have their membership revoked and be expelled from the venue."
Morte explained.
Zhang Xing nodded. "Go do your thing. Call me when it's time."
Uh!
Morte still had a lot to say. He was suddenly stuck and felt quite uncomfortable.
He thought the senior would be interested in the black market's taboos and could ask a few more questions. He did not expect him to end the conversation directly.
Thinking about it, the senior was an expert. What strange things had he not seen? It was normal for him to not be interested.
…
A moment before dawn, more than 50 people gathered in a renovated house in the west of the Imperial Capital's Wanwu City.
An old man in black looked at the magic clock. "Time's up. Please take out your identity token and enter the teleportation array in batches of ten."
"You can only bring one person with each token!"
After that, he activated the teleportation array under his feet.
Everyone knew the rules. They walked in silently in order. In less than five minutes, the room was empty again.
In another empty basement, more than 50 people walked out one after another.
"Senior, this is the temporary trading point of the black market. It's different every time."
"The people who came all drank the Face Changing Potion or wore masks, so they don't know each other's identities."
"That token is also bound by blood. If someone impersonates it, it will be detected before entering the teleportation array."
"Also, fighting is strictly prohibited in the trading area. If anyone doesn't listen and tries to rob, everyone present will have their membership revoked."
Mo Te seized the opportunity and started to introduce them.
Zhang Xing was indeed not interested in these things, so he listened indifferently.
In next to no time, the black clothed old man walked out, and he swept everyone with his gaze before getting straight to the point.
"There's only one item up for auction this morning."
"A Tier 2 Earth Demon Cub and a Tier 3 Earth Demon Cub."
"Everyone, please take a look!"
As he spoke, he flicked his wrist and released two ground dragons from the dragon necklace. From their appearance, they looked exactly the same as what he had just said.
When they saw that they were only Tier 2 or Tier 3 Earth Demon Cub, many people were disappointed.
If they were to be domesticated, it would take decades. However, it was not impossible to buy them back to the family's descendants, but it was hard to say if they were worth nurturing.
"The starting price is 100 low-grade spirit stones and 1 billion gold coins."
The bidding started, and the black clothed old man's cold voice sounded.
