Chapter 32 Monster Flesh and Blood

Chapter 32 Monster Flesh and Blood

In the north of Anping County, there is a three-story building with a plaque with the words "Martial Alliance" hanging at the gate.

That is where the Martial Alliance is.

This morning, the demon hunting team composed of members of the Martial Alliance set off.

In addition, many martial arts halls in the county town also sent out teams to hunt monsters in order to show their strength.

"According to past experience, at most one month, those warriors can get rid of the tiger monster."

Qi Shun asked Chu Liang to stay in the county town for a month.

After all, the county town is safe, and there are many warriors gathered.

The surrounding small mountain villages are much more dangerous, and they may be attacked by the tiger monster hiding in the dark at any time.

"It just so happens that you have saved a lot of money, so you can join the martial arts hall and start practicing martial arts." Qi Shun said to Chu Liang, "You are not strong enough now, and having more money is not a good thing."

"Manager Qi is worrying too much."

Chu Liang smiled, picked up a chopstick, and flicked it lightly.

Click!

The chopstick flashed and pierced straight into the wall on one side, leaving only the slightly trembling tail.

Seeing this scene, Qi Shun's eyes suddenly widened.

He looked at the chopstick in disbelief, and then looked at Chu Liang. After a long while, he said: "Brother Chu, have you sensed the blood?"

"Yes."

"Good! It was I who misjudged you!"

Qi Shun laughed and immediately picked up the wine bowl in front of him.

He smiled and said: "Brother Chu, people with great luck like you must have extraordinary opportunities. I won't ask any more questions. I wish you to become a real warrior soon!"

"Okay, thank you, Shopkeeper Qi."

Chu Liang also picked up the wine bowl and clinked it with Qi Shun.

Appropriate display of strength can allow others to see more value. It is always bad to hide your shortcomings.

Chu Liang did not say that he had condensed a blood, otherwise Qi Shun would be more surprised.

After three rounds of drinking, Chu Liang said, "Shopkeeper Qi, I want to ask about a place."

"Brother, you tell me."

"Black market."

"Black market?" Qi Shun was startled, "Brother, that kind of place is full of mixed people, and there are many warriors. Do you really want to go?"

"Well, I have to buy something."

"Well, there are multiple entrances and exits in the black market, and one of the more hidden ones is outside the city..."

Qi Shun did not ask Chu Liang what he wanted to buy, and directly gave the entrance to the black market.

It is not easy to enter the black market, and you need an acquaintance to guarantee it.

Stranger people cannot enter.

"I have to receive several big figures from the Wumeng in the afternoon, and I really can't leave...Brother, take this wooden sign..."

Qi Shun took out a black wooden sign with the word "market" engraved on it.

He would not give this wooden sign away easily. If Chu Liang was still just an ordinary hunter, he would naturally not give it, but now Chu Liang has a higher value.

"This is a token to enter the black market. Having this is like having an acquaintance as a guarantor." Qi Shun placed the wooden sign in front of Chu Liang, "Brother, let me remind you again that the goods in the black market are of varying quality. You have to keep your eyes open and don't be cheated again."

"Again?"

Chu Liang smiled, knowing that Qi Shun was talking about the treasure-hunting rat.

He did not refute, which was considered as tacitly admitting that he was cheated last time.

The real treasure-hunting rat is too precious and should not be exposed now.

"I understand, you can rest assured." Chu Liang replied.

"Well, let me say a few more points, brother, you must pay attention."

Qi Shun looked serious and talked about some taboos in the black market.

The first is that you cannot fight in the black market. No matter how big the grudge is, you can only go outside to solve it. You must remain restrained inside.

The second is to try not to reveal any information about your true identity.

"By the way, you also take this mask."

Qi Shun got up and went to the counter, brought back a black mask, and handed it to Chu Liang.

Most people in the black market wear masks, and only a few who are more confident in their background and strength will show their true faces.

Chu Liang expressed his gratitude and put away the mask and wooden sign.

After that, he wrote down some points that need attention.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Chu Liang left the restaurant.

He left the county town from the south gate of the city, walked a distance on the official road, and then turned into a path, and soon walked into a dim jungle.

"Shopkeeper Qi said that the entrance to the black market is behind the ruined temple in this jungle."

Chu Liang remained vigilant, put on a mask, and changed into a black robe.

After a while, the ruined temple appeared in front of him.

"That's it."

Chu Liang walked straight to the back of the ruined temple, found the entrance, and stepped into the secret passage.

After walking about thirty meters, a cold voice sounded: "Stop! Let me see the token."

The speaker was a man who also wore a black mask, and his appearance could not be seen clearly, and his eyes were indifferent.

"Well."

Chu Liang was not surprised, and threw the wooden sign over casually.

In a moment, the wooden sign was thrown back.

"Go in!"

The man made way, and behind him was the real entrance to the black market.

Chu Liang put away the wooden sign, straightened his robe, and then stepped into it.

A scent of sandalwood hit him.

In front of him was a small-scale market.

It was not as lively as the county market. There were less than a hundred people, and the communication was sporadic and a bit deserted.

The goods on the stalls were sufficient.

Chu Liang moved his eyes and scanned the stalls one by one.

"Armor, weapons, slaves, herbs, pills, various materials..."

Some things cannot be bought in ordinary markets.

For example, armor and weapons are prohibited by the court.

But now there have been years of famine, people are living in poverty, and the world is extremely chaotic. The orders of the court can't reach the lower levels at all.

The big families in various places have private soldiers, ranging from dozens to hundreds, and thousands to tens of thousands, becoming local emperors, especially the thousand-year-old families in Guanlong, Yingchuan and other places.

Even if the court falls, those thousand-year-old families will not be in trouble.

It is said that some families have 100,000 soldiers, occupy a certain area, and have martial arts masters sitting in charge, and they don't even give the court face.

"The world is getting worse and worse, we have to become stronger as soon as possible."

Chu Liang thought silently.

The south where he was was okay, but the north had been suffering from severe drought for years, and the people were living in poverty, and countless uprisings had already broken out.

The whole dynasty had a feeling that a storm was coming.

The tranquility of the small mountain village will one day be trampled by foreign iron hooves.

"The troubled times are coming."

Chu Liang walked in the black market and thought far away for a while.

At this time, a sign on a stall suddenly attracted his attention.

[Selling Monster Meat]

Five crooked words were written on the sign.

Chu Liang immediately walked over, squatted in front of the stall, and whispered to the stall owner: "How much is the monster meat?"

"One tael of silver per pound, no bargaining." The stall owner replied lazily.

"Let me see it first."

"Okay."

The stall owner threw out three pieces of meat, each weighing about two pounds.

The three pieces of meat were bright red in color, with a hint of blood.

"Half a month ago, there was a monster disaster in the city. A wolf monster, a pig monster, and a deer monster occupied the mountain and became kings, harming many passers-by. Later, a master killed the three beasts. This is their flesh and blood."

The stall owner glanced at Chu Liang and introduced a few words casually.

Chu Liang was silent, his eyes swept over the three pieces of meat.

Soon he got the hint of the Evolution Treasure Book:

[Ordinary deer meat, can be offered]

[Not monster meat]

It was just ordinary deer meat, which could be sold for at most 30 coins per pound in the market.

What Shopkeeper Qi said was true.

This black market is full of good and bad things, and it is easy to buy fakes if you are not careful.

Chu Liang looked calm and got up and left.

He didn't want to waste time here, so he planned to go to other stalls to buy and return to the village as soon as possible.

In the back, the stall owner asked: "Boy, you don't want to buy?"

"Do you have the real thing?" Chu Liang asked back.

"Hey! You kid, you said I'm selling fakes?"

"Yeah."

"Boy, you are blind, take a closer look!"

The stall owner picked up a piece of meat and said confidently: "If it's fake, I will swallow these three pieces of flesh and blood in front of you!"

"Deer meat is better cooked."

Chu Liang replied calmly and left the stall immediately.

The stall owner was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly caught up with Chu Liang, laughed dryly twice, and said: "Haha, I'm just joking. Don't you want to buy monster meat? This way, please..."
