Chapter 999 The fourth choice
It took more than half an hour for the demon control team to successfully follow the other groups into the ghost market through force and coercion.
Wenren Baixue and Xuan Zhen found the disciples recommended by several Xuanmen families in the capital, including the Xie family who represented the Shanyi Sect.
Because Xie Yunli didn't accept the spot given by Xie Weishen, the latter had no choice but to settle for the next best thing and choose another relatively outstanding nephew from the side branch named Xie Yunye.
The six people in Xie Yunye's group are all outstanding descendants of the six representative Xuanmen families in Beijing. Among them are the Zhou family who are the best at making magical artifacts.
With the magic weapon in hand, their group opened the ghost gate very smoothly.
When Wenren Baixue and Xuanxiao came over, they rushed to the ghost gate to open it.
Originally Xuanxiao planned to threaten the other party directly to let them go in, but was stopped by Wenren Baixue
. She cried and told the story of an underage fox demon cub who was forced by the elders to participate in the Xuanmen Competition.
"...You don't know, the elders of our demon tribe are very cruel.
If we are eliminated in the first round, , after I go back, the elders will definitely lock me under the soul tree and let the soul tree suck all of our demonic power and spirit... "
When Wenren Baixue talked about the possible punishment, My body started to tremble.
The weak and pitiful look made the children of the serious families who had not dealt with the demons believe it immediately.
Thinking that the two were minors, in order to show the demeanor of the children of the Xuanmen family, Xie Yunye The group directly invited Wenren Baixue and Xuanxiao to enter the ghost market with them.
"Although it's a competition, we are all upright people in Xuanmen. Even if we want to win, we will win with our strength."
Xie Yunye said, and then said,
"After all, we are in different camps. We still have to rely on each other in the ghost market. You guys, but don’t worry, the competition has only started for ten minutes. You and our group will definitely be the first to enter the ghost market. There is still plenty of time. Just slowly look for it…”
He stopped talking halfway. The words were stuck when he caught sight of a figure not far away.
Wenren Baixue and the others followed his line of sight and saw Xie Yunli looking up from a booth, meeting their gaze.
Because of Jiang Xuxu, Xie Yunli knew Wenren Baixue, and Xuanxiao had competed with her before, so he nodded politely.
Xie Yunye instantly recovered from his shock and confirmed that he had not made a mistake.
"Yun, Brother Yunli!" As a member
of the Xie family, Xie Yunye of course knew Xie Yunli, and he also knew that he was able to get this recommendation because the person in front of him did not take up the Xie family's quota.
Thinking of his confident and complacent words just now, Xie Yunye felt a little hot on his face.
"Brother Yunli, you guys came in so soon?"
Xie Yunli recognized who the other person was, but the other person had a better relationship with Xie Mingyun before. He nodded calmly, just as a greeting.
Without saying much, he turned around and said something to An Churan who was still looking for something next to him, and then the two of them left.
Xie Yunye's group was somewhat shocked . Wenren Baixue and Xuanxiao were much calmer. They
knew
that Xuxu and his group would be the fastest to enter.
However, five minutes later, when the two of them were watching When they arrived at Jiang Xuxu's, they felt that they had underestimated the speed of Jiang Xuxu's group.
Jiang Xuxu and Bai Shu were sitting in a corner behind a stall that was decorated with various bones and looked very much like the underworld.
That position was clearly the position of the stall owner.
"Xuxu, are you guys selling this directly?" "
Even if she entered the ghost market as soon as the competition was announced, it was only 20 minutes. How did she become a stall owner?
Isn't it the competition rule that you have to find your own things?!
" "Wait, have you found your item?"
Wenren Baixue couldn't help asking.
Behind the stall, Jiang Xuxu nodded modestly, and then pointed to a mini skull the size of a child's palm on the stall.
The skull was of course just a decoy, what really belonged to Jiang Xuxu was a miniature peach wood sword hidden inside the skull.
Jiang Xuxu originally made it for Jin Xiaohe to play with.
Unexpectedly, the competition officials secretly took it away as the first round of assessment.
Although the peach wood sword is hers, the skull is not.
If she wants to get her belongings back, she must redeem the mini skull as well.
Because of the special nature of ghost market transactions, although spiritual points can be used as a basic currency in the ghost market, not all items can be exchanged for points. This
obviously cannot be done with Jiang Xuxu.
"According to the information I have inquired, the stall owners who bought and sold items from us contestants have set rules in advance with the competition officials. If you want to redeem items normally, there are only three ways."
"First, use spiritual points to earn points.
"The second is bartering. According to the needs of the stall owner, you can exchange one of your own items for another . "
Everyone has different needs. For example, the stall owner who found her item asked her to give him her tail in exchange.
Not to mention that her demon power was sealed and she couldn't show her tail, even if Yes, she would not exchange her tail.
From this, it can be seen that no matter the first or second method, the authorities do not intend to let her or some people redeem their belongings easily.
So, there is a third method.
"The third method is also bartering, but the requirement is that you must exchange the personal belongings of other contestants for your own belongings."
Wenren Baixue and Xuanxiao Hearing the last request, Xuan Xiao was obviously stunned, and frowned subconsciously,
"This last condition... is the ultimate goal, right?"
The conditions for redeeming his own items are so harsh. If he wants to ensure that he will not be eliminated in the first round, , then they need to steal other people's objects in exchange for their own smooth passage.
This is a trap.
Jiang Xuxu was not surprised that he would react first, and nodded,
"Yes, the rules of the ghost market do not allow snatching of goods for sale, but snatching of goods that have been redeemed is allowed. When the first two methods cannot be completed, snatching the items of fellow contestants is the most convenient and effective method."
She said this with a heavy look in her eyes,
"The ultimate goal of the competition officials is not to let us redeem our own items, but to let us, the contestants, be internally eliminated in this first stage, and the number must be at least half."
Wenren Baixue heard this and subconsciously widened her eyes. After a long while, she couldn't help cursing,
"Sly! These rules are too sly!"
When she first saw the content of the first round of the competition, she thought it was a literary competition to test everyone's vision and financial resources.
It would be better to just open a fighting ring!
The audience watching the live broadcast at this time had the same idea as Wenren Baixue.
Originally, I thought it would be a show of talent, but in the end, it still depends on snatching? ?
Thinking of this, someone soon reacted.
[No, if what Jiang Xuxu said is true, what does this have to do with her being the owner of this stall? ]
Wenren Baixue also asked the same question as the audience.
Jiang Xuxu said,
"I am here because I don't like the first three methods."
She said calmly,
"So, I chose the fourth method."
