“I want the thing,” Yang Kai didn’t bother bargaining. Since the thing was useful to him, he naturally had to buy it.
When the shop assistant heard this, he immediately smiled.
“But I don’t have any demon crystals,” Yang Kai added.
The shop assistant’s smile froze on his face as he stared at Yang Kai with a ‘you must be joking’ expression.
Yang Kai stretched out his hand and took out a mace that was half the height of a man. The Demonic Qi on the mace gave the shop assistant a fright and he thought he had encountered a robber, but Yang Kai suddenly said, “Does your shop accept this? I can use this as collateral.”
The shop assistant finally understood Yang Kai’s intentions and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, somewhat embarrassed, “This little shop doesn’t accept such things, but this Demon Treasure seems to be of good quality. I can ask the shopkeeper for you.”
Yang Kai nodded, and the shop assistant turned around and walked towards the counter.
There was no one at the counter, so the shop assistant walked over for a while before quickly walking back and smiling at Yang Kai, “The shopkeeper has invited you to meet him.”
Yang Kai glanced at him suspiciously before following him to the counter. The shop assistant pointed down and introduced, “This is our shopkeeper.”
Yang Kai followed his instructions and looked down, only to discover that there was a short man under the counter, only half the height of a human, completely blocked by the tall counter. No wonder he hadn’t seen him before. This short man came from some unknown race, and his head was extremely big and his body was short, making him look quite funny. However, his eyes were filled with shrewdness as he stared at Yang Kai and asked, “I heard that you want to exchange Demon Treasures for maps and chariots?”
Yang Kai casually placed the mace on the counter and nodded, “Good, how much is this?”
The short man stretched out his hand and touched his mace, releasing his Divine Sense to examine it, his brow immediately furrowing, “Demon King Grade artifact!”
The so-called Demon King Grade artifacts were probably Demon Treasures that only Demon Kings could use. Yang Kai had quite a few of them, all of which were the spoils of war he had obtained from killing those Demon Kings.
The cultivators of Demon Race on the Star Boundary couldn’t use them anymore, after each great battle, Tiger Roar City had collected a lot of them. Naturally, Yang Kai also collected some.
Now that he thought about it, he should have obtained a lot of Demon Crystals, but since they were filled with Demonic Qi and had no use for him, he didn’t keep them with him. If he had known this would happen, he would have prepared more Demon Crystals before coming here to save himself the trouble.
The short man carefully determined the quality and grade of the mace and gently nodded, “This little shop doesn’t accept these things, but since it’s a Demon King Grade artifact, we can make an exception. However, this thing is only worth one million High-Rank Demon Crystals, far from enough. Does this customer have anything else he can pawn?”
If it weren’t for this Demon King Grade artifact, he wouldn’t have bothered to pay any attention to Yang Kai. Since he was able to take out this artifact as collateral, he definitely had other good things on him. If he were to sell it now, he would definitely earn more.
“One million?” Yang Kai turned to look at Xiao Wu. He really didn’t know much about the market situation in the Demon Territory, so the only person he could ask for advice from now was this maidservant.
Xiao Wu whispered, “It’s a bit low, but Sir can raise the price slightly.”
If it was just a little lower, it would be acceptable.
Yang Kai raised his hand again and a few sounds came out. Four or five different Demon Artifacts appeared in front of him as he lowered his head to look at short man, “Is this enough?”
The short shopkeeper and the shop assistant were both stunned. These Demon Artifacts that had suddenly appeared all exuded a thick Demonic Qi that was not inferior to the mace from before, perhaps even superior.
In other words, these were all Demon King Grade Artifacts!
Demon King Grade Artifacts could only be used by Demon Kings, yet this guy in front of him had taken out so many of them at once. Obviously, they weren’t his, so he must have killed other Demon Kings to snatch them.
Each of these Demon Treasures represented a Demon King. In an instant, the eyes of the short shopkeeper and shop assistant changed as they stared at Yang Kai, feeling a bloody aura rush towards them…
The short shopkeeper didn’t dare be negligent and quickly said, “Sir, please wait a moment, allow me to take a look.”
After a quick appraisal, he confirmed that they were all Demon King Grade artifacts, each one worth at least a million high-grade demon crystals. Perhaps knowing that Yang Kai wasn’t easy to deal with, the short shopkeeper even took the initiative to raise the price of three of them.
After counting the six Demon Treasures, there were a total of six million nine hundred thousand High-Rank Demon Crystals, enough to cover the map and the Tiger Head Chariot, and some extra.
A short while later, Yang Kai walked out of the shop with Xiao Wu. The map and Tiger Head Chariot had been stored in his Space Ring, and he was holding another Space Ring that contained the extra 900,000 High-Rank Demon Crystals.
The main purpose of this trip was the map. Now that his goal had been achieved, Yang Kai had nothing to buy.
While strolling around with Xiao Wu, Yang Kai held the map in his hand and used his Divine Sense to explore it, familiarizing himself with the situation in the Demon Territory. As his Divine Sense passed through the map, the names of the various continents flashed across his eyes. Yang Kai silently memorized them, thinking that it was time to inquire about the Bright Moon Great Emperor.
Since Tian Shu and the others wanted him to rescue the Bright Moon Great Emperor, he first had to figure out where he was so he could make his plan easier.
Just as he was thinking about this, he suddenly heard the sound of a tsunami of cheers. The deafening sound immediately attracted Yang Kai’s attention.
Looking up, he saw a huge building not far away, standing in a semicircle above the Holy City’s vast land. There were several Demon Race guards standing guard at the entrance, and the voice from before came from this building, making it seem extremely lively.
“What kind of place is that?” Yang Kai pointed at the semi-circular building and asked. The buildings he had seen before weren’t large, but this one occupied such a vast area, so it was obvious it had some kind of background.
“Blood Fighting Pit,” Xiao Wu pursed her lips and glanced over, a trace of fear flashing across her eyes, seemingly somewhat afraid of this place.
“What is it for?” Yang Kai asked curiously.
Xiao Wu explained, “It’s a place where many powerful existences compete for supremacy. The winner can win the prizes provided by the Blood Fighting Pit, while the loser may lose their life.”
“There are prizes to be won?” Yang Kai asked curiously.
Xiao Wu nodded, “En, and most of the time, the prizes are very generous. Oh right, you can also bet inside, some people will become rich overnight while others will go bankrupt!”
“I can still bet!” Yang Kai’s eyes lit up. Just now, he had spent six million high-grade demon crystals to buy the map and the Tiger Head Chariot, and he had also used a few Demon Treasures as collateral for six million and nine hundred thousand. Now, he only had nine hundred thousand left, so he would definitely be able to stay in the Demon Territory for a long time. If he didn’t have enough demon crystals, it would be difficult for him to do anything. He was just thinking about how to get more demon crystals, but he didn’t expect there to be a ready-made way.
“Come, let’s go in and take a look.” Yang Kai immediately became interested and led Xiao Wu towards the Blood Fighting Pit.
When they arrived at the entrance, the guard blocked their way. If they wanted to enter the Blood Fighting Pit, they naturally had to pay an entrance fee. The fighting inside was fierce, and it was impossible for people to watch it for free. This entrance fee was one of the income from the Blood Fighting Pit.
Ten thousand high-grade demon crystals per person was not a place an ordinary person could enter.
Fortunately, Yang Kai had just obtained some demon crystals, otherwise he would have to eat Xiao Wu’s soft rice.
After paying the fee, Yang Kai received two number plates and entered.
This was Xiao Wu’s first time entering such a place, so she couldn’t help feeling somewhat nervous and followed closely behind Yang Kai.
After passing through a long corridor, the two of them entered a huge space, a circular field that spanned dozens of acres. Snowflakes danced in the air and the snow was pure white. What surprised Yang Kai was that there were a few towering peaks in the middle of the field.
The surrounding audience stands were arranged in a trapezoidal formation, and after a rough calculation, this place could accommodate at least forty to fifty thousand people.
At this moment, although the audience wasn’t completely packed, at least seventy to eighty percent of the seats were occupied.
Each of them would receive an entrance fee of ten thousand High-Rank Demon Crystals, and seventy to eighty percent of them would earn several hundred million.
Yang Kai had been wondering what kind of prize this Blood Fighting Pit would offer and how it would be profitable, but now he knew that it was a sure win.
Just this alone was enough, but what surprised Yang Kai even more was that the space inside the Blood Fighting Pit was clearly different, because the scene inside was actually ten times smaller than normal. In other words, the Blood Fighting Pit in front of him was actually several hundred or even a thousand acres… It was only because of some special reasons that it had shrunk.
Space Folding?
Yang Kai’s eyes narrowed. Didn’t Yu Rumeng say that there were no Demon Race masters who were proficient in the Space Laws in the Demon Territory? Then who was the one who compressed the space of this Blood Fighting Pit here?
Turning around to ask Xiao Wu, he realized that things weren’t as he had expected.
The space inside the Blood Fighting Pit was originally a small fragment continent, but after being teleported here by Yu Rumeng using her Great Divine Ability and using an Formation Master’s Formation, it had produced such an effect.
Damn it, it was said that this Blood Fighting Pit had a great background, but it turned out that it was Yu Rumeng who had created it. In this Phantom Continent, she has the biggest fist, so it wasn’t strange for her to create something like this.
Xiao Wu continued, “This is also this servant’s first time here, but this servant has heard that there are several dozen different environments in the Blood Fighting Pit. As long as you activate the Spirit Array, you can change it.”
“Oh?” Hearing this, Yang Kai raised his brow. Did this mean that the scenery in front of him wasn’t the same as before? It could even be changed to another environment?
If that was the case, then the variables in the Blood Fighting Arena would be huge. If their strengths were equal, if a certain environment or terrain was advantageous to one of them, the other party would undoubtedly have a great advantage.
Just as the two of them were speaking, the surrounding audience erupted into cheers once again, the outcome of the battle in the Blood Fighting Pit had been decided.
