C513 Underground Market
For ordinary Martial King Stage warriors, they didn't lack spirit stones or anything. They didn't need to go to those places to spend their time. Of course, this didn't exclude the fact that there were powerful rogue cultivators who were in dire straits.
After weighing the pros and cons, Wu Di decided to go there and find out what was going on.
Feng Cai saw that he could not persuade them, so he could only agree to take them to underground market later. At this time, the waiter finally brought tea and spirit fruit to the table. After the two drank a few cups of tea, they left the teahouse together.
Under Feng Cai's lead, they arrived in front of a grocery store. After entering, Feng Cai said, "Initially, I didn't want to go in, but I was the one who blabbered on about this place. If I don't bring you out safely, this old man will feel uneasy, so I will follow you in."
Wu Di actually felt very strange in his heart. This old man had just met them, but he was so helpful. It would be funny if he said that he didn't have any intentions. Only now did Wu Di remember that this old man did not say that he had something to do.
Forget it. Let's go in and check the situation first. If there were any problems, Wu Di believed that he still had a way to take Hei Meng away.
When the waiter of the grocery store saw a guest come in, he thought it was business. He immediately came over to greet him happily. However, Feng Cai said that he was going to enter underground market. The waiter immediately revealed a look of disdain, as if Wu Di and the others were unqualified existences.
This change in attitude made Wu Di frown, and he became even more curious about the underground market.
"Three people, three medicinal High-grade Spirit Stones. If not, we'll go to the cool side." The waiter said.
Wu Di stretched out his palm. Three High-grade Spirit Stones appeared on his palm. The waiter's eyes lit up when he saw the money. He took the spirit stones and pointed at the backyard, "The entrance is right behind you. You can do whatever you want."
At this time, Wu Di noticed that the waiter looked at them like they were looking at a dead person. Hei Meng could not help but want to attack. Wu Di stopped him in time and said, "Don't be impulsive, Hei Meng."
"Yes, yes. The people here all have that kind of vulgar temper. Don't lower yourself to their level."
Hei Meng took a deep breath and suppressed his anger. In the end, he was different from Zhao Yuan. He was a calm person who rarely got angry. Even if he got angry, he would quickly adjust his attitude and not do anything that he could not control.
When the three of them arrived at the backyard, they found a room behind them. They walked in and saw that there was indeed an underground entrance. They looked at each other and entered the underground market.
After dozens of stairs, they finally reached the flat bluestone road.
The underground market was very big. After passing through a ten meter long tunnel, the front was wide open. For a moment, it was bustling with noise. Wu Di and the others could not stand the noise here.
Just like what Feng Cai said, there were all kinds of trades here. It was truly a money-making cave that made people drunk and dream of death.
There were all kinds of strange things in this place along the way. If someone was a little bit mentally unstable, they would immediately get lost in this place. Wu Di said to Hei Meng, "If you feel that you can't resist it, just chant the meditation spell. Think about the real reason why we came here."
"Don't worry, I can handle the temptation." Hei Meng said.
Wu Di nodded and turned to look at Feng Cai. He found the old man was more at ease. He had his hands behind his back and walked around casually. He looked around from time to time. He did not seem to be confused by the scene.
Wu Di narrowed his eyes. What he was thinking was, this Feng Cai was not simple. Could he be some powerful expert? However, judging from his cultivation base, he was only at the Middle Period of the Dragon Transformation Stage realm. No one knew if he was hiding his cultivation base or if he had ulterior motives by following them.
With a grudge in his heart, Wu Di gave the Secret Telling through Sound to Hei Meng and told him to pay more attention to this Feng Cai later. If there was anything wrong with him, he wouldn't hesitate to make a move.
Hei Meng naturally listened to Wu Di's arrangement and agreed immediately.
The three of them had already arrived at a place that was surrounded by many people with their own thoughts. There was an arena here. The two cultivators on the arena were having a hard time fighting each other. There were also many people placing bets below.
No wonder the arena competition was going to be held here. Just this kind of betting event was enough to make the organizers win a lot. What was the point of giving out a few passes?
Wu Di was thinking when Feng Cai suddenly shouted in surprise, "Old Huo!"
The old man called Old Huo turned his head. When he saw his old friend, there was no other expression except coldness in his eyes. He waved his hand and said, "Who are you? Don't stop me from placing my bet."
"Old Huo, I'm Feng Cai. Why are you..."
Wu Di grabbed Feng Cai and said with the Secret Telling through Sound. It's useless. Your friend has been bewitched by someone using a secret technique. I'm afraid he has forgotten who he is now. "
Feng Cai looked at Wu Di in shock and asked via divine sense, "How did you know?"
In fact, Wu Di had found it strange just now. As a cultivator, he was usually very composed. How could he be confused by the appearance of this place?0
However, after carefully observing this person called Old Huo, he found that this person's eyes had lost the emotions that humans should have. It could be said that he had become a different person.
Wu Di felt a trace of disgust towards this underground market and then a trace of fear. How did he do it in such a way that made people lose their way? Did he control these people through food, the surrounding aura, or some other method?
Then what was the point of them controlling these people here? Was it to keep them repeating this ridiculous life here?
Countless questions popped up in Wu Di's mind, but he already wanted to leave this place.
However, at this time, the competition on the stage had ended. The challenger had lost. Moreover, he had been beaten until he was unconscious. He was directly dragged away by two strong men. At this time, a skinny guy on the stage shouted, "Is there anyone else who wants to compete on the stage? If you win, you'll get a pass to enter the auction."
"Wu Di, this place is not right. Let's go quickly." Wu Di turned around and saw beads of sweat on his forehead.
"Are you alright?"
"I'm fine for now. I don't know if it will last longer." Hei Meng said with an ugly expression.
At this moment, Feng Cai also opened his mouth. "That's right. The situation here isn't good. Why don't we hurry up and leave?"
Wu Di shook his head, "Calm down. Since we have already arrived here, I'm afraid it will be very difficult for us to get out."
He took out a porcelain bottle from the Storage Ring and gave each of them a black pill. This Hei Meng trusted Wu Di, so he swallowed it without saying anything.
Feng Cai put the pill in front of his nose and sniffed it. He seemed to recognize what it was and immediately swallowed it. Then, he transmitted his voice to Wu Di and said, "I didn't expect Little Friend Wu to have such a good thing as the Awakening Divine Pill. It was really given in time.
Wu Di himself had taken one as well. Immediately, he felt his mind cleared up. The foul Qi here had no effect on him at all.
"The pill can only maintain its effect for six hours, so within these six hours, I want to win three matches and get three passes." Wu Di said.
At this time, Feng Cai rubbed his hands and said, "Fellow Daoist, I wonder if you can give me one. Actually, I came here because of this pass."
Wu Di already knew that Feng Cai must have a purpose. Now that he knew that Feng Cai only wanted a pass, he felt relieved.
"Alright, four matches. But if I win four matches, I will have to leave when the time comes. At that time, we will run away with our own abilities. We don't have to worry about anyone. Otherwise, if we hesitate, I'm afraid none of us will be able to escape."
Hei Meng nodded seriously. As for Feng Cai, he said with a smile, "I am very confident in little friend Wu. You won't ignore us even if we are trapped."
Wu Di was speechless. He was afraid that they would have such thoughts. When the time came, they would drag him down and no one would be able to leave.
"Fellow Daoist Feng, stop joking around. My cultivation base is only a little higher than yours. If I run into any trouble, I will run away by myself. " That's fine, but if I bring the two of you along... "I'm afraid it won't be easy."
