Chapter 135 - Chapter135

The extremely northern Nether Sea is an extremely cold place. The fierce beasts and sea beasts here all have a common characteristic: extremely strong defense. After evolving in the icy environment for tens of thousands of years, their bodies are completely different from ordinary fierce beasts. Their fur is extremely thick, and their bones are extremely hard like steel. Ordinary swords and knives are difficult to cause substantial damage to them. If measured by physical attacks and magical attacks. The physical attacks of the Nether Sea beasts are almost immune, while the damage caused by magical attacks is doubled. After traveling hundreds of thousands of miles, Zhou Peng and Meng Fanyi finally arrived at the last city leading to the extremely northern Nether Sea, the Demon City, after half a month. The Demon City is also known as the City of Sin. It is a place where no one cares. However, there are its own rules, laws, and punishments here. Those who don't follow will be expelled from the city at light, and killed on the spot at severe. No matter what you did before, whether you are a killing demon king or a traitor of an immortal sect. Once you enter this city, you will not be held accountable. If there are pursuers who cause trouble, the lord of the Demon City will come forward in person. The lord of the Demon City is extremely terrifying in strength. Rumor has it that his cultivation has reached the Qiankun Realm. Looking at the entire Tianyuan Continent, there are only a few experts at the Qiankun Realm. Out of忌惮, some famous immortal sects also turn a blind eye to the Demon City and are unwilling to provoke this evil star, the lord of the Demon City. So, with the protection of the lord of the Demon City, the Demon City has become a paradise and heaven for vicious people. Here you never have to worry about being chased. Of course, if you leave the city, everything will not be protected by the lord of the Demon City. In addition to some extremely evil people, this is also the only transportation route leading to the extremely northern Nether Sea. If you want to enter the extremely northern Nether Sea, you must pass through the Demon City. In the Demon City, there is a kind of bead that can breathe in water, the Water-Avoiding Bead. Adventurers who want to go to the extremely northern Nether Sea must have this kind of bead. With the Water-Avoiding Bead, even if you go deep into the sea area for tens of thousands of miles, you don't have to worry about breathing problems. At the same time, the water pressure is the same as on land. It is an essential item for adventurers. In addition to the Water-Avoiding Bead, there is also a fairly large auction house in the Demon City. There are countless treasures in the extremely northern Nether Sea. Rumor has it that tens of thousands of years ago, the area within the Nether Sea was the territory of the demon race. There are countless treasures of the demon race hidden there. During the ancient great war, the great saints引来towering floods from outside the sky and instantly annihilated the territory. Countless treasures were buried at the bottom of the sea. For adventurers, especially demon cultivators, the extremely northern Nether Sea is the best place. When Zhou Peng and Meng Fanyi walked to the city gate, two guards immediately blocked their way with long spears. They said with great, "Please pay the entrance fee." "How much?" Zhou Peng asked. "One crystal core per person." "One crystal core?" Meng Fanyi was stunned. "The fee is too high." The guards had no expression on their faces. Their expressions were very firm, looking very official. Zhou Peng handed over three crystal cores and said with a smile, "Big brother. Two crystal cores are the entrance fee. The extra one is for the two of you to have tea." The guard's eyes lit up. Looking at Zhou Peng, he smiled and said, "Sure, sure. Hahaha..." "I want to ask, where can I buy the best Water-Avoiding Bead?" Zhou Peng asked. "Water-Avoiding Bead? Are you going to explore the Nether Sea?" The guard was slightly shocked. Looking at Zhou Peng's cultivation at only the sixth level of Tempering Gangqi, his strength was even weaker than his. If he wanted to go to the Nether Sea to search for treasures, wasn't this courting death? That's what he thought in his heart, but he was too lazy to persuade. These days, some people are crazy about treasures and can't listen to persuasion at all. Sighing in his heart, he then said, "There is a place that specializes in selling Water-Avoiding Beads in the south of the city. But if you want to buy a good Water-Avoiding Bead, you still have to go to the auction house." "Why do you have to go to the auction house to buy a Water-Avoiding Bead?" Meng Fanyi couldn't understand and couldn't help asking. The guard smiled mysteriously. Tapped the crystal core in his hand and said, "Only at the auction house can you buy the purest Water-Avoiding Bead. In other places, hehe..." With a meaningful smile for a few times, there was no more. Zhou Peng cupped his fists and said, "Thank you." Then the two walked into the city. On the way, Meng Fanyi still couldn't understand. The auction house is only a place for auctioning items. How can it sell Water-Avoiding Beads? Does it have to hold auctions every day? Zhou Peng smiled faintly. "This situation is not difficult to understand. If you think about interests, you will understand." The production of Water-Avoiding Beads is firmly controlled by the lord of the Demon City. In order to increase the influence of the auction house, some pure Water-Avoiding Beads with good attributes will be sold in the form of auctions. Most of the people who enter the Demon City are adventurers and all need Water-Avoiding Beads. Just relying on collecting entrance fees won't earn much. Selling Water-Avoiding Beads in the form of auctions is different. If you want to go to the Nether Sea to search for treasures and take risks, you must use Water-Avoiding Beads. All good Water-Avoiding Beads are controlled by the auction house. You must spend a lot of money to bid. Otherwise, it is simply wishful thinking to go deep into the Nether Sea. Not only does it increase the reputation of the auction house, but it also earns much more. After a long time, Meng Fanyi's eyes lit up. Finally understanding, he stared at Zhou Peng and smiled. "Brother Zhou, not only are you fast in cultivation speed, but your mind is extremely intelligent." The two came to the extremely northern Nether Sea. It was a narrow escape. Originally, Zhou Peng was still thinking of finding some tasks with lower danger coefficients first to improve the strength of Lin Yan and the others. Now thinking about the ranking battle of the top one hundred inner sect disciples in half a year. If he doesn't break through to the Void Realm early, he may lose his life then. Forced, Zhou Peng asked Meng Fanyi to find a way to settle Lin Yan and the others. What Lin Yan and the others lack is cultivation rather than actual combat. Even if Zhou Peng brings them here, there may not be a big breakthrough. On the contrary, Zhou Peng himself can't guarantee survival and has no time to take care of them. Finally, Meng Fanyi arranged them into the best cultivation space in the outer sect through connections. With twice the cultivation speed. This also cost Zhou Peng fifty thousand merit points. But being able to help them improve their cultivation, tens of thousands of merit points are nothing to Zhou Peng. The two came to the only auction house in the Demon City. At this time, it was already noisy inside, completely like a bazaar. Zhou Peng smiled knowingly and walked in. "Are you two auctioning items or bidding on items?" As soon as they stepped through the door, they were stopped by a staff member of the auction house. "Bid." "Oh, then please pay two crystal cores as the entrance fee." "What?" Meng Fanyi was stunned again. Shouting loudly, he said, "You have to pay to enter the city. You have to pay to enter the auction house again. Your Demon City should just be called Robbery City instead of Demon City." "If the two of you don't want to pay the entrance fee, then please leave." Zhou Peng took out two crystal cores and handed them up. Said, "It's just two crystal cores. Brother Meng, there's nothing to be angry about." After receiving the crystal cores, the staff member immediately greeted them with a smile and handed over two small wooden plaques. There was a string of numbers engraved on the wooden plaques. Respectfully said, "This is your number. Just raise the sign when bidding. If you two need crystal cores, you can go to the third floor to exchange. We are honest and exchange at equal value." "Thank you." Zhou Peng casually said and pulled Meng Fanyi to walk inside.
