However, after her encounter with the Sea Ghost, she discovered that not all deep-sea creatures were hostile. This world is dangerous enough as it is; it's always better to have one more friend than one more enemy.
After Gu Xi turned off the light screen, she suddenly remembered the "flyer" that Hai Youling had given her before she left.
She took out the "flyer" and examined it carefully.
On the surface, this "flyer" only has some strange totem patterns and nothing particularly special about it.
However, since the Sea Ghost had given her this, she must have had a purpose. So she tried to use her mental power to read the contents of the "flyer".
Gu Xi's spiritual energy spread out and wrapped around the "flyer".
After her mental energy tightly enveloped the "flyer," she seemed to cross the boundary between reality and illusion and arrive in a completely new space.
The sudden change made her cautiously survey her surroundings. She discovered that the space here had no fixed shape; the entire space was like flowing water, constantly changing its texture.
Around this space, there are floating transparent square platforms. Their texture looks like crystals, clear and transparent, reflecting the ever-changing light and shadow around them.
Gu Xi quietly approached and discovered that the platform was engraved with strange runes and was emitting a faint light.
The atmosphere in this space was also strange. There was an indescribable aura in the air, which seemed cold and oppressive, making her want to explore it and escape at the same time.
Just as she was struggling with this dilemma, a huge, illusory light screen suddenly appeared in the center of the space. It hovered in mid-air, constantly scrolling through various pieces of information.
Gu Xi channeled her mental energy and began to read.
She stared intently at the screen, but gradually relaxed as the text flowed.
This is actually information about an auction. These scrolling messages are the items that will be auctioned.
Gu Xi curiously examined the various auction items, only to find that she recognized almost none of them. The only item she recognized was the deep-sea crystal she had seen at the Sea Ghost's place.
There are many items here, but not all of them are sold in the same auction.
If a buyer has an item they are interested in, they can check the auction location and then use their mental power to guide the round tablet to the auction venue.
As Gu Xi was browsing, a keyword caught her attention.
She entered the list with a serious expression, never expecting to see those two words there.
Slaves were also among the items auctioned.
Gu Xi unconsciously clenched her hands as she continued reading.
A bad feeling welled up inside me.
She quickly scrolled down, and when she saw two words, her pupils suddenly contracted.
Sure enough, her premonition came true.
On the light screen, lines of bloody words stretched out before her eyes.
Race: Human
Description: Delicate skin and tender flesh.
Upon seeing this, Gu Xi was instantly enraged. She abruptly withdrew the spiritual energy that had enveloped the "flyer," and in the blink of an eye, she was back on the ship.
Recalling the scene she had just witnessed in the alternate dimension, Gu Xi's thoughts were struck as if by a heavy hammer, and the fantasies she had just held were instantly shattered into pieces.
She had initially believed that the sea ghosts were a friendly race towards humans. However, reality dealt her a harsh blow.
Sea ghosts may be mild-mannered, but that doesn't mean they would refuse such an auction.
Profitability is their guiding principle. This chapter is now complete (please click to continue reading the next chapter!).
