Along the way, Yang Kai was able to appreciate the unique local customs of the Demon Territory and saw many strange things, causing him to be quite surprised. However, although some things were good, they had no use for the cultivators of the Star Boundary and were only useful to the Demon Territory’s living beings, making him give up on purchasing them. Moreover, he didn’t have any demon crystals.
After walking around for half a day, they arrived at a shop. According to Xiao Wu, this place should have a map for sale.
Outside the door, there were no servants welcoming guests, and many demons were entering and exiting.
Entering the shop, Yang Kai’s eyes were immediately drawn to the exquisite items on the two sides of the counter. These items looked like chariots, but each one was only the size of a palm.
On one side, a Demon Race cultivator seemed to be very interested in this item and was currently looking at it. The shop’s shop assistant was sitting next to him, enthusiastically introducing the performance of these little thing, praising the items in the shop as if they were unparalleled.
After listening for a while, Yang Kai found that these things really were war chariots.
The Demon Race youth took a fancy to one of the chariots and the shop assistant immediately took it out. Holding it with one hand, he poured his Demonic Qi into it and tossed it forward. With a whoosh, the chariot expanded in the wind and became a six-meter long object. Its appearance was fierce and its edges were sharp. At the top of the chariot was a lifelike tiger head with its mouth wide open.
The Demon Race buyer circled around the war chariot a few times before reaching out to touch this place and then that place. He even personally sat down and tried it out, revealing a satisfied expression as he haggled with the shopkeeper before finally settling the transaction.
After sending off a customer, the shop assistant turned to look at Yang Kai and smiled, “What does this Sir want to buy?”
Yang Kai looked towards the door and said, “Give me something that guy just saw.”
He was somewhat interested in this war chariot. This kind of thing was rarely seen in the Star Boundary, but he had often encountered it in the Star Field.
The shop assistant immediately took out a similar model and enthusiastically introduced, “This customer’s taste is quite good. This Tiger Head Chariot is a new model that our shop just launched this year. Its performance is much better than the old model and its speed is also much faster. If you ride it, you can go wherever you want.”
These words were exactly the same as what he had just said to the Demon Race cultivator, so Yang Kai didn’t bother paying any attention to them. Instead, he snatched the so-called Tiger Head Chariot from the other party’s hand and poured his Emperor Qi into it, imitating the shop assistant’s actions and tossing it forward.
The war chariot immediately expanded and appeared in front of him.
This caused Yang Kai to be stunned. Just now, he had just casually tried it out, but he hadn’t expected his Emperor Qi to have such an effect on this thing. It seemed that this thing could be used by both the Human Race and Demon Race.
With his strength and the shop assistant’s weak cultivation, he naturally didn’t notice anything amiss and continued enthusiastically, “Honoured customer, why don’t you go up and give it a try? If you’re not satisfied, you can try something else.”
Yang Kai had the same idea, so he immediately sat down and found that the interior of this war chariot was quite humane. Sitting inside it was quite comfortable, but the only flaw was that the space was a bit small, only able to accommodate two or three people at most. If it was bigger, sitting inside alone would be more than enough.
After feeling it for a while, Yang Kai got up and asked, “How is this thing’s defense?”
The shop assistant smiled and said, “Rest assured, this artifact is forged from a twelfth-grade Demon Metal. Its defensive power is enough to pass through the World Gate, and it can even withstand an all-out attack from the Demon King.”
Yang Kai didn’t know what a Grade 12 Demon Metal was, but since it was able to withstand an all-out attack from a Demon King, its defensive power should not be weak. He asked again, “What about its offensive power? Why don’t I see any place where it can be used to attack? Could it be some kind of special Spirit Array?”
As soon as these words came out, the shop assistant’s expression became strange as he stared at Yang Kai suspiciously.
Behind him, Xiao Wu awkwardly walked over and whispered into Yang Kai’s ear, “Sir, this thing isn’t used to fight with others, it’s used to travel. There are countless Demon Territory Fragmented Continents, but not every Demon Race knows the route to those Fragmented Continents. This chariot has the location of the World Gates between the various continents and the route to each other. As long as we set it in advance, we can smoothly arrive and save a lot of trouble.”
So it was like a flying artifact! Yang Kai suddenly realized why this shop assistant was staring at him so strangely…
Patting the other party’s shoulder, he said seriously, “Just joking.”
“Haha…” The shop assistant’s smile froze.
Yang Kai looked around and coughed lightly, “Do you sell maps in your shop?”
“A map?” The shop assistant frowned, “What kind of map does Sir want to buy?”
“What kind of map do you have?” Yang Kai asked.
The shop assistant asked, “There are twelve maps for the territory of the Saint Venerable, which one would you like?”
There were twelve Demon Saints in the Demon Territory, so why was the map divided into twelve parts?
Yang Kai asked, “Isn’t there a map of all the continents?”
“There is, but the price…” The shop assistant smiled at Yang Kai. After what had just happened, he was quite suspicious of this customer’s purchasing power. He couldn’t even understand the use of the war chariot, so it was obvious he didn’t want to buy anything.
“The price is not a problem,” Yang Kai replied calmly.
The shop assistant hesitated for a moment before nodding, “Then please wait a moment, I’ll bring it to you.”
Saying so, he turned around and walked into the inner hall.
After he left, Xiao Wu came over and asked carefully, “Sir, this servant forgot to ask you, how many demon crystals do you have?”
“I didn’t have any,” Yang Kai glanced at her.
Hearing this, Xiao Wu was stunned for a moment before quickly taking off the ring on her hand and saying, “I have some demon crystals here, but I don’t know if they’re enough. Please take them, my Lord.”
Yang Kai smiled and pushed the ring back, “I have my own way.” Since he dared to come here, he naturally had his own plans.
Seeing him like this, Xiao Wu couldn’t say anything more and could only secretly pray that nothing bad would happen today, otherwise she wouldn’t be able to escape punishment.
Not long after, the shop assistant returned with a round black ball in his hand.
Walking closer, the shop assistant said, “Guest, this is the best map of this shop. Please take a look and see if you’re satisfied.”
Yang Kai stretched out his hand to take the black ball and studied it for a moment. This thing was about the size of a human head and was quite heavy. Yang Kai didn’t know what material it was made of, but although this was his first time coming into contact with it, it was likely to have the same effect as the Mountain Wave Diagram in the Star Boundary, so he immediately sent his Divine Sense into it.
With a whoosh, a continent plate appeared in Yang Kai’s Divine Sense and a small black dot appeared on it. Yang Kai estimated that this small black dot represented his position, and this continent that appeared in his Knowledge Sea should be the land beneath his feet.
Phantom Continent!
This map also marked the names of each continent.
Only now did Yang Kai realize that the continent beneath his feet was actually called the Phantom Continent. It must have something to do with Yu Rumeng’s name and the race of the Succubus.
Around the continent, there were seven or eight red dots. Yang Kai could tell at a glance that these red dots represented the location of the World Gate, each of which was connected to a thin white line.
Yang Kai immersed his Divine Sense into the white thread and soon found another red dot and saw another continent.
After several attempts, Yang Kai finally figured out how to use this thing.
This was a good thing, something he had desperately needed before. With this map, he would be able to grasp how to travel between the Demon Territory’s various fragment continents and how to travel between them. Otherwise, if he wanted to travel from one continent to another, it would be impossible.
The shop assistant at the side said, “Sir, you can try using your will to chant the names of the two continents.”
Yang Kai raised his eyes to look at him and made a decisive attempt, silently reciting the Phantom Continent and Black Earth Continent.
This Black Earth Continent was also what he had seen when he was exploring just now. It was very far from Phantom Continent and was separated by several fragmented continents.
But at this moment, from a certain red dot on the Phantom Continent, the thin white thread suddenly released a bright light, as if a burning flame was spreading all the way to another red dot, entering a neighboring continent, and then extending from another World Gate…
In the blink of an eye, the closest route from Phantom Continent to Black Earth Continent was obvious. If Yang Kai really wanted to go to Black Earth Continent, he only needed to follow this route and pass through a few World Gates.
“Good, good, good!” Yang Kai couldn’t stop praising. Anyone who could refine this thing was definitely a genius. For a newcomer Human Race, this thing was more useful than anything else.
“How many demon crystals does this thing cost?” Yang Kai didn’t want to let go of the black ball and turned to ask the shop assistant.
“You really want to buy it?” The shop assistant was a little surprised, thinking that Yang Kai didn’t have much purchasing power, but who would have thought that he was actually a big customer, so he immediately smiled and said, “Five five million high-grade demon crystals!”
Demon Crystals were also divided into high, medium, and low grades, with the same exchange rate as Source Crystals being one to ten.
However, Yang Kai didn’t have much of an idea about the so-called five million High-Rank Demon Crystals, so he didn’t know what kind of wealth this was. He estimated it was about the same as five million High-Rank Source Crystals.
Five million high-rank source Crystals was not something he paid much attention to, so he nodded and asked, “What about this Tiger Head Chariot?”
The shop assistant smiled even more happily, “This one only costs one million high-rank demon crystals.”
A total of six million.
Yang Kai nodded, but Xiao Wu’s face paled as she listened, “Too expensive.”
The shop assistant replied, “Good things naturally have different prices. Guests can ask around in the Holy City to see if there are any chariots with better performance than this small shop, or if there is a map like this small shop, if it has, these two items will be given to you.”
