This place belongs to the Zhao family. The lord of Huangfeng City, Zhao Bei, is a collateral clan member of the Zhao family.
It is only a few dozen miles away from the Azure Swamp. It is the only way to enter the Azure Swamp from the direction of Longji Mountain.
At this time, on the second floor of a wine shop somewhere in the city, there were two men in simple clothes, sitting by the window, toasting and drinking.
"Hey, have you heard? In the Tianqing Swamp, the roars of some monster beasts have been heard from time to time in the past two days. I heard that there are two monster kings fighting for territory, and one of them died and the other was seriously injured!"
"Presumably at this time, if anyone can afford the money for the demon hunting card, they will be able to get a big deal!"
In the past two days, a rumor began to appear in Huangfeng City.
It is said that in the Azure Swamp, there were two fourth-level demon kings fighting each other. One was killed and the other was injured. The reason why the two demon kings fought hard was because somewhere in the Azure Swamp, there was a ripe spiritual fruit.
Although this place is relatively close to Azure Swamp, at that time, generally speaking, no casual cultivator dared to enter the swamp alone.
Ever since the only fifth-level monster in the Azure Swamp was killed by the Zhao family's ancestor more than a hundred years ago, the Azure Swamp has become the Zhao family's back garden.
In other words, if you want to enter or leave the Azure Swamp to hunt monsters, you must obtain permission from the Zhao family!
The Zhao family has a specially issued demon hunting license. Only those with this demon hunting license can enter the Azure Swamp to hunt.
Moreover, this monster hunting card will also indicate the highest level of monsters that are allowed to be hunted. If you hunt beyond the level, you will need to pay an additional difference.
Of course, if someone doesn't buy the monster hunting card and sneaks into the Azure Swamp to hunt monsters, that's not impossible, as long as they don't get caught by the Zhao family.
Generally speaking, the price of a first-level demon hunting card is around 100 lower-grade star stones, a second-level demon hunting card is around 500 lower-grade star stones, a third-level demon hunting card is 10,000 lower-grade star stones, and a fourth-level demon hunting card is priced at around 500 lower-grade star stones.
Cards cost one hundred thousand!
This was still normal, but now that rumors are spreading, the price of these fourth-level monster hunting cards has also skyrocketed. In the past two days, some people were actually willing to spend nearly one million low-grade star stones to buy them from passers-by!
In the wine shop, there were not a few people whispering to each other.
"Brother Wu, with such a good opportunity, don't you want to go in and give it a try?"
At the wine table, a dark-faced man listened to the discussion of the people at the table next to him and asked the green-faced monk in front of him with a smile.
The green-faced monk has two small beards and holds a fan in his hand. He looks a bit like a scholar.
He took a sip of wine and smiled:
"Such a good opportunity?"
"Now there are so many people who want to go in and pick up the bargains. I'm afraid that if they don't get the bargains by then, they may end up risking their lives!"
"That would be more of a loss than a gain!"
It seemed that the green-faced monk was much more perceptive than the black-faced man. He then smiled faintly, rolled his eyes, and spoke to the black-faced man in a low voice.
"To be honest, I am very suspicious now that this news was released by the Zhao family!"
"If not, why did they take the opportunity to raise the price of the fourth-level monster hunting card?"
"These people are not stupid, and their calculations are louder than anyone else's. We'd better stay calm!"
Generally speaking, the value of all the materials in the remains of a complete fourth-level monster should not be less than one million.
If you encounter some rare monsters, the materials on them are even more rare. If you enter the auction house, it is very likely that just one kind of material can earn more than one million yuan!
This is indeed a hugely profitable business!
However, if you want to get that much money, you must have a life to get it.
You know, the strength of the fourth-level monster is no joke.
Moreover, there are not only those two fourth-level monsters in the Azure Swamp. If they encounter other monsters, they will definitely not be able to eat them and walk around.
Perhaps it was out of this consideration that the Zhao family simply released the news and earned ticket money safely, which was safer than licking blood from the tip of a knife.
It can be said that the Zhao family has passed on all the risks of this incident and is firmly on the Diaoyutai.
Similarly, those who bought the Level 4 Demon Hunting Card must be well aware of this, but for them, this considerable and attractive profit is indeed worth taking the risk to give it a try.
!
From this point of view, this is indeed a win-win solution!
Hearing what the green-faced monk said, the dark-faced man's expression immediately darkened.
"These immortal cultivating families are really abominable. Not only do they occupy resources, they actually require us to spend money to hunt monsters. What kind of justice is this?"
The big man with black spots muttered angrily.
When the green-faced monk heard this, he curled his lips slightly, and then raised the wine glass in his hand.
"Okay, brother Su, this isn't the first day you've encountered this kind of thing, just be more open-minded."
Then the two of them looked at each other, smiled, and started drinking.
The wine is three-pointed and gradually gets better.
The dark-faced man took a sip of wine, suddenly remembered something, and said again:
"Speaking of which, we haven't returned to King Yan City for some time. I really don't know what Brother Qin's situation is now."
When the green-faced monk heard this, he put down his wine glass with a serious expression.
"I heard that the master of Yanjiabao was ambushed a few days ago and almost lost his life. Yan Yan from Wu Yuefeng also went crazy because of his obsession. It seems that Yanjiabao's strength has been exhausted."
"I hope Brother Qin has left by now."
The two of them recalled the past and couldn't help but sigh at Qin Shaoyou's character.
It turned out that these two people were Wu Ming and Su Bei who Qin Shaoyou had met before.
After they left King Yan City, they traveled to several places and only arrived at Huangfeng City in the past few days.
If Qin Shaoyou knew that these two people commented on him behind his back, he might also feel ashamed.
Will it?
Probably not.
While the two were talking, a familiar sound of footsteps suddenly came from the stairs.
Everyone who was dining on the second floor unconsciously cast their eyes over, and saw a graceful woman in green clothes walking up from the roof of the building.
But although this woman has an outstanding figure, her face is very ordinary. Ordinary is not a good way to describe her, but it should be said that she is very ugly!
Now everyone suddenly lost interest.
However, the dark-faced man's face lit up with joy when he saw this girl.
"Junior Sister Qing'er, here!"
He waved hurriedly to say hello.
This woman just walked over.
After the woman took her seat, Wu Mingcai smiled and said:
"Miss Lao Qinger, is there any new news?"
Qing'er smiled faintly and nodded.
She looked around with a wary look on her face. When she saw that no one was paying attention to them, she cautiously said:
"There is definite news that early in the morning a few days ago, an auspicious light appeared in the swamp. It should be that a strange treasure appeared!"
"City Lord Zhao Bei has already brought people in this morning and there are more!"
Qing'er's expression suddenly became serious.
She lowered her voice and continued in a gentle drizzle:
"I heard that this matter has alarmed the two young masters of the Zhao family, and they are already on their way here!"
The black-faced man Su Bei looked shocked and looked at the green-faced monk Wu Ming aside.
Wu Ming frowned, tapped his fingers, and tapped twice on the table.
"Is this news reliable?"
“Reliability is over 80%!”
Qing'er answered with great certainty.
"This is quite interesting"
Obviously, Wu Ming, who had categorically stated that he would never go in, was also moved at this time.
Su Bei understood, took a long breath, spread his hands and said helplessly:
"It's a pity that we don't have that much money to buy a monster hunting card."
Wu Ming smiled secretly.
"After finishing the wine, Brother Su, you can treat me this time!"
