Chapter 149 Zhizhi’s fellow tribesmen
“How much?” Xu Qiuqian suspected that she had heard it wrong.
"Three hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones."
Good, she heard it right.
"Are you sure it's this price?" she asked suspiciously.
Of the three spirit beasts she selected, one was of the second rank, and the other two were of the first rank. Even if they were more expensive, they wouldn't be this expensive, right? The stall owner smiled slightly.
"Be sure and be certain."
“…”
"Master..." Zhizhi looked at Xu Qiuqian eagerly.
Xu Qiuqian had no choice but to pay the spirit stones anyway.
The smile on the stall owner's face suddenly became much more sincere. He cast a look at a Foundation Establishment cultivator, who received his look and walked over.
"Please follow me, my guest."
Xu Qiuqian picked up three cages.
She chose spirit beasts that were relatively small in size, and the cages were also small so they could be easily carried away.
Followed the foundation-building monk into the alley.
The alley could be reached at a glance. Just as she was wondering how the Foundation Establishment Monk was going to take her there, she saw the Foundation Establishment Monk passing through the wall. Xu Qiuqian hesitantly followed him through.
It turned out to be a sleight of hand.
Passing through the wall, a wide staircase appeared before our eyes.
As I walked down the stairs, a faint noisy sound came into my ears.
It was far away, and Xu Qiuqian couldn’t hear what was being said specifically, she could only feel that there were a lot of people partying and shouting.
Subconsciously, he wanted to expand his spiritual sense, but found that this underground actually restricted his spiritual sense.
What is going on underground?
Just as he was thinking about it, the foundation-building monk suddenly said, "Put this on."
Xu Qiuqian came back to his senses and saw the mask in the hands of the foundation-building cultivator. It also had the function of preventing spiritual detection. Xu Qiuqian took it and put it on.
"Take the token."
He took the token as he was told.
Then he saw the foundation-building monk making a move.
The darkness in front of him dissipated, and a door appeared. The foundation-building monk opened the door.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Xu Qiuqian was stunned.
This is a huge circular square. The outer circle is the audience seats, with seats from high to low all the way to the large stage in the center.
It looked like a Colosseum? The auditorium was packed, and everyone was wearing masks. I didn't know if a match had just been held in the center of the arena, but no one or any beast appeared.
"You're lucky. Someone just left and a seat was vacated over there."
The foundation-building monk pointed to an empty seat, which was far away from the arena.
"Remember to spend 100,000 Spiritual Stones before leaving, otherwise you will have to pay another 300,000 Spiritual Stones to come in next time."
As soon as he finished speaking, several Qi-refining monks came over.
The cultivation level is around the fourth or fifth level.
The foundation-building cultivator said to Xu Qiuqian, "Give these three to them."
Xu Qiuqian responded and handed over three cages.
The three spirit beasts that had been trembling and silent since just now suddenly became manic.
Several monks had expected this and did not even frown.
"Master, Master, they are asking me for help!"
Ask Zhizhi for help? Xu Qiuqian thought for a moment and asked the foundation-building cultivator, "Can I keep them first?"
The foundation-building cultivator was surprised, but didn't say much.
"Can."
After those monks retreated, the spirit beast in the cage finally calmed down, but it was still trembling.
"Okay, you can go through now. Remember not to take off your mask, otherwise you will suffer the consequences."
Xu Qiuqian responded and took Zhizhi and the three cages to the only empty space.
Seeing that the person next to him had changed, the person next to him didn't react much. He just glanced over and saw Zhizhi on Xu Qiuqian's shoulder and the three cages in her hands, and couldn't help but take a few more glances.
"What a weird guy! He bought the spirit beast and didn't hand it over, but kept it for himself." The man muttered in a low voice.
Xu Qiuqian looked over.
"Why do you want to hand it over?" she asked him.
The man was stunned: "Why should I hand it in? This is not common sense... Is this your first time here?"
"Well, I heard about this place from a friend, so I thought I'd come and take a look."
"Tsk tsk, your friend is such a jerk. He didn't even explain everything here to you and let you come here alone. If you do something wrong, you might lose your life!"
Hearing this, Xu Qiuqian asked curiously: "Oh? How do you mean?"
"Forget it. Anyway, the next game won't start for a while. I'll tell you about it. I'm sure you already know what this place is for. I'll tell you a few things you need to pay attention to here."
Because of the lie she had just told, Xu Qiuqian couldn't say that she didn't know, so she could only let the man continue talking.
Anyway, she already had some vague guesses. After all, she had been to many similar places like the interstellar space in her previous life.
"First, after you come in, you must spend 100,000. If it's not enough, you can't take the mask away. Next time you want to come in again, you can only pay another 300,000. You should know this."
It turns out that this mask is equivalent to a ticket.
“The second is that you can’t go anywhere else except the auditorium.”
"Can't go? Why?"
"I don't know either. Anyway, I can't go. I just heard that there are serious consequences if I go."
Xu Qiuqian seemed to be thinking about something.
The Colosseum was very dark. When she saw it from outside the door just now, only the arena in the center of the Colosseum was lit. Everywhere else was very dark, and she could not use her spiritual sense.
After he said that, she wanted to see it even more.
But there's no rush for now.
First, understand what this place is about.
As they were thinking about it, a voice came into everyone's mind.
"Today's 23rd match, Huang 697 vs. Xuan 531."
What do you mean? After the voice fell, everyone's excitement turned into a lack of interest.
So is the person next to him.
"Are you kidding me? The last one was yellow, and this one is also yellow?"
"That's right! Can't you find anyone else here?!"
"Don't worry, everyone. Today's Huang Liujiuqi has a background of some importance." The voice spoke again slowly.
"What's the story?"
At this time, the center of the ring sank, and after a while, it rose up dragging two cages.
Xu Qiuqian saw a blindfolded girl in the cage. She was obviously very scared and trembling all over.
In the other cage was a spirit beast half the height of a human.
The spirit beast didn't know what was going on. Its eyes were bloodshot, and it made a horrible "ho ho" sound from its throat. The girl next to it heard it and her body trembled even more violently.
Although he had guessed it, Xu Qiuqian couldn't help but frown when he really saw this scene.
"This girl's name is Qiu Qingyun. She is the only daughter of a small family patriarch. Although she is a mortal, she has been pampered since she was a child, with fine clothes and delicious food."
After hearing the girl's identity, the discontent in the audience quieted down a little.
"That's more like it."
Someone said with a grin, "I love to see these spoiled young masters and young ladies being bitten to pieces!"
“Start placing bets now.”
Xu Qiuqian saw everyone take out their tokens and tap on them a few times.
Then he took out the token.
At the top are the words "天天地玄黄", and below are the words from one to nine.
There is no doubt that everyone entered Xuanwusanyi.
A mortal without any spiritual power will only lose when facing a manic spiritual beast.
"What are you standing there for? Why don't you place your bets quickly? I tell you, if you're lucky, you might be able to earn enough of the 100,000 spirit stones you spent on this trip in two or three games."
