Chapter 1758: What you’ve seen at the night market (part two)
Sure enough, he saw a group of people gathered in front of a stall to watch the show.
Behind the stall stood a burly man. Above his head was a sign that read “old bastard Wang’s Hunter specialty”. Beside old bastard Wang was a chopping board, on which there were some wild beast corpses.
There were wild boars, robes, pheasants, and other game. However, at the very front of the chopping board, in the most conspicuous place, there was a dead animal that looked like a black pheasant.
“I say, old bastard Wang, have you gone crazy thinking about money? Is this the black Phoenix?” A young man pointed at the dead body of the black pheasant and said to the man called Wang laoba.
“I’ve compared it with the illustrated book. This is obviously the legendary Black Phoenix. If you don’t want to buy it, then just look at it. There must be someone who knows what it is!” Old eighth Wang seemed unwilling to argue with the young man and said angrily.
“Tsk, the black Phoenix is a legendary spirit beast. Although I don’t know what a spirit beast is, since it’s a spirit beast, it must be very powerful. Do you think you can kill a spirit beast with your level?” The young man said, unconvinced.
“I …” Wang laoba’s face turned awkward, but he said,””If you say it’s not, then it’s not. I’ll sell it for ten thousand Yuan. If you don ‘t, I’ll go home and make soup for myself!”
Lin Yi looked at the black Phoenix and frowned. He was from a mountain village, and his follower er goudan’s family hunted for a living. He knew about pheasants, and this thing in front of him was definitely not a pheasant!
Although the two were somewhat similar, they were definitely different! Lin Yi didn’t know what it was, so he couldn’t rule out the possibility that it was a spirit beast! It was not surprising that old bastard Wang could kill spirit beasts. Spirit beasts like Skybolt pig, which had no attack power, were easy to kill. Not all spirit beasts had the ability to attack.
Moreover, the strength of the spirit beasts was different according to their level.
…
Lin Yi was a little confused-there were spirit beasts around here? Generally, the places where spirit beasts appeared were places with extremely rich world Energy. Those places were often occupied by some sects and families. Could there be a sect nearby?
Ten thousand wasn’t a lot to Lin Yi, but it was a sky-high price to these simple villagers. They looked at Wang laoliu with mocking eyes, and there were many people nearby who wanted to buy it, but no one was interested!
If old sixth Wang was sold for a few hundred Yuan, perhaps some people would buy it back to try it, but it was not worth it to buy a pheasant for ten thousand Yuan.
“This is a Phoenix?” Lin Yi asked.
Wang laoliu was faced with too many questions today and didn’t want to answer Lin Yi’s question, but he raised his head and saw that Lin Yi and the others were obviously wearing city clothes. They must be tourists from other places, so his eyes lit up. Maybe these city people knew the goods. He smiled and introduced,”Are you tourists from other places?”
“Yes, that’s why I’m curious.” Lin Yi nodded with a smile.
“That’s it. You don’t know the legend on our side …” Wang laoliu said in all seriousness,””The town we live in is called dark night town, and there’s a mountain nearby called dark night spirit Mountain. The mountain range around it is called dark night mountain, and I hunted there.”
“Dark night spirit Mountain?” Lin Yi blinked-it sounded like an Ice Mountain … Could it really be a place with a lot of Qi? There were spirit beasts in the mountain, of course-the White python Qiqi met was one of them. At least, Lin Yi didn’t know which species was the same as the White python. It was a snake, but it wasn’t a snake.
The pig beside Lin Yi was the same-it didn’t look like a pig at all. How could it be this small? Instead, they were like the cartoon version of pigs. These were all mutated spirit beasts, and they also lived in places with abundant spirit Qi! It was the same in Zhang Liju’s tomb.
“Yes, according to the older generation, a long time ago, there was a sect on dark night spirit Mountain called dark night Palace. It was a very powerful sect. The people there were all martial arts masters and could live forever …””There are also some spirit beasts living near the Dark Palace. These spirit beasts are different from ordinary wild beasts. They have spirituality and can cultivate to become Immortals like the people of the Dark Palace … Among them, the most famous is a kind of Black Phoenix called the Dark Phoenix. It is said that those who eat the black Phoenix can live forever …”
“Wang laoliu, are you trying to scare people with the fairy tale that you told your child to sleep?” Next to Wang laoliu’s stall, a woman who was selling goods at another Hunter’s stall couldn’t help but mumble. Today, Wang laoliu caught such a strange pheasant. Although the pheasant didn’t sell, he sold a lot of other wild beasts, which affected his family’s business, so this woman was a little unhappy.
“Fairy tales are not necessarily false. Didn’t you hear this story when you were young? We grew up together and listened to a Grandpa who sold popcorn telling us stories under the same tree. Didn’t you believe it too?” Wang laoliu retorted,”and I’ve already said it. It’s said by the older generation. It’s not like I made it up. What are you so anxious about?”
“Hmph …” The woman was speechless, but she still snorted.
“Alright, uncle Wang, can you continue?” “I think it’s quite interesting!” Lin Yi smiled.
“Okay, then let’s continue. It’s said that those who eat the black Phoenix can live forever. They can also cultivate and become a martial arts master …” Wang laoliu said.
“Since it’s so good, why don’t you eat it yourself?” The woman pursed her lips in disdain.
“I … It’s useless for a rough person like me to eat it. I don’t know how to eat it. It’s better to sell it for money …” Wang laoliu’s face turned red. In fact, he didn’t really believe in legends or such things. Otherwise, how could he sell it?
“Sounds good. Let’s buy it then. Can it be cheaper?” Lin Yi’s face didn’t change as he asked, but his heart was in a state of shock! The legends might not be groundless. There might really be a Dark Palace on the dark night spirit Mountain!
Perhaps it was something similar to the Ice Palace, an ancient sect that didn’t interact with the mortal world, and that was why these people thought it was just a legend …
“It won’t be cheap. I, Wang laoliu, have just said that if it can’t be sold for ten thousand Yuan, I’ll take it back and make my own soup.” Wang laoliu belonged to the kind of straightforward person who cared more about his face.
