The black market has a bad reputation, and people are gone in the blink of an eye.
The innkeeper hiding in the corner took a look at the empty hall. The yellow-skinned dragon was skillfully searching for the corpses. The moon-worshipping fairy was like a door god, guarding the man in white who was drinking tea as if it had nothing to do with him. Same.
"Guest, please leave as soon as possible, otherwise the black market experts will come to investigate and everyone will suffer!"
The worried innkeeper walked forward tremblingly and bowed to Su Chen and others.
He tried so hard to persuade her, mainly because he was afraid of hurting himself, but he was not very kind-hearted.
"Why are you all so afraid of the black market? Can you tell me?"
Su Chen became interested.
The innkeeper was anxious, but he didn't dare to offend him.
Not only did these few people who killed the black marketers on the black market's territory not run away, they also acted like innocent people, and they looked like they were hard to deal with.
"Hundreds of years ago, the black market was still an inconspicuous shop in the local area. Later, it started a business of human trafficking and gradually made a fortune. It also made a lot of money by buying and selling stolen goods from shady sources in the East and West continents. He gathered many experts and became one of the major forces in the Northern Wilderness..."
The innkeeper said with envy.
Human trafficking, trading of stolen goods.
This is definitely a black business that is not tolerated in the East and West continents.
After all, business in the East and West continents is basically monopolized by Danmeng and its major chambers of commerce.
But as long as there is demand, there is a market.
Some people are lustful and like to use others as cauldrons.
Some people practice evil techniques, suck human blood, and even devour the power of blood.
As for the stolen goods, they were either stolen or obtained through murder, and because they were afraid of the background of the original owner, they did not dare to sell them openly, so they could only flow into the black market at low prices.
What the black market does is these unprofitable businesses that are obtained by force and robbery, and naturally the profits are huge.
However, with just a few hundred years of foundation, being able to become a major force in the Northern Wilderness is probably not something that can only be achieved by having deep pockets.
In this chaotic region of the Northern Wilderness where extremely evil people are everywhere, wealth is exposed and it is easy to be robbed and everything will be lost.
"Although the black market has a little background, other big forces are very afraid of the black market. It is said that there are people behind the black market."
The innkeeper didn't dare to hide anything. He said everything that should be said and shouldn't be said. He just hoped that these cruel people would leave as soon as possible.
As for who is behind the black market, it is naturally impossible for him to know.
"Trafficking people, buying and selling stolen goods, this sounds like the urinal nature of the Corpse Yin Sect, no!"
After the yellow-skinned cheap dragon finished searching, he stood up and said disdainfully.
Su Chen's eyes lit up when he heard this.
The Corpse Yin Sect not only sucks human blood and devours other people's blood, but also likes to dig graves and dig up corpses. The stolen goods are naturally indispensable, and they are suddenly on the black market.
Su Chen then asked for some more details, and after confirming them, he nodded with satisfaction and left.
The black market is not slow in its actions and has already activated a large formation to blockade the entire city.
The people in the city didn't know what was going on, but they also knew that something big might happen, so they were a lot more honest.
But this can't stop the yellow-skinned dragon.
The rune dragon scales around him lit up, condensing a mysterious seal, wrapping Su Chen and Moon Worshiping Fairy, and rushed out of the sealing formation.
"Just pretend to be cool and run away. It feels really good, hehe."
Turning his head to look at the chaotic Jiuyuan Ancient City, the yellow-skinned dragon smiled proudly.
Fairy Moon Worshiping ignored him, but looked at Su Chen doubtfully and said, "I wonder why you are asking about the black market?"
She knew Su Chen and never did anything meaningless.
"Just asking, it might come in handy in the future."
Su Chen smiled lightly and said nothing more.
"Boy, you don't want to wipe out the black market, do you?"
The yellow-skinned dragon came up and said something mysterious, and then shouted excitedly: "That relationship is great! If you start the black market, not only can you become rich overnight, but it's also good to stay here and become a rich man. !”
"Let's find the elixir of immortality first, otherwise everything will be out of the question."
Su Chen shook his head and smiled.
…
After leaving Jiuyuan Ancient City and heading north, the wind and snow were heavy, the cold was biting, and the environment became even worse.
A million miles to the north, there is a huge snow-covered plateau. From a distance, it looks like a white star pressing across the earth.
The dripping water turns into ice, and no vegetation can grow here. Except for the ferocious beasts in the snow, it is basically a no-man's land.
And Tongtian River is still north of the snow-covered plateau. It can really be called the end of the Arctic!
"Although we purchased a large amount of supplies in Jiuyuan Ancient City, we have almost run out of them along the way."
Fairy Moon Worshiper took out some food and wine for Su Chen and looked a little worried as there were not many supplies left in the storage bag.
She and the yellow-skinned dragon could live without grains, but Su Chen couldn't.
With such a long journey and such a cold weather, Su Chen had to eat a lot to maintain his strength.
"This snowy plateau is so big, there should be people there, let's look for it."
Su Chen sighed.
After so many years of living, this was the first time he had to worry about food.
Fortunately, the Moon Worshiping Fairy and the Yellow-skinned Dragon never left each other, and he kept this friendship deep in his heart.
But they were lucky. After walking forward for a few days, they met someone.
"It's an honor for me to fall in love with you. If you dare to resist, you're seeking death!"
A man in black was instructing his men to kidnap a beautiful girl.
"Sir, the lady is still young, please be merciful and let her go."
"Sir, our Lin family never pays less than a cent in offerings every year. Please let my lady go."
The girl refused, and her tribesmen were also pleading.
However, the man in black was extremely domineering and just sneered when facing the girl begging for mercy.
"Hmph, without the protection of our black market, all of you would have died a long time ago. It's right to turn in the offerings. But it's so hard for me to come to collect the offerings every year. It's also right to let your lady accompany me for a few days."
"Get away, if you dare to entangle me again, you will be killed without mercy!"
The man in black shouted coldly and kicked the girl's family away.
Seeing the girl's family members coming to harass her again, the man in black's men suddenly became murderous.
"court death!"
Those subordinates are also cruel and ruthless people, and they will kill them if they disagree.
The girl's tribe was no match at all, and they were brutally killed in the blink of an eye, leaving the girl kneeling in the snow and shivering.
The bloody and ferocious scenes around her almost frightened her to death, so much so that when the man in black reached out to grab her, she even forgot to resist.
"Black market? It's amazing!"
A cold voice suddenly sounded, shocking the black market experts.
"Who? You know my reputation in the black market, and if you don't get out of here, you're going to die!"
The black market experts turned their heads and discovered that a man and a woman had quietly appeared here at some unknown time.
"Eh? Stop!"
"Tsk tsk, this girl is so beautiful, like a fairy!"
The strong men in the black market showed their lustful eyes and looked at the Moon Worshiping Fairy unscrupulously, unable to look away any longer.
