As expected, there was a group of people surrounding a stall to watch the show.
Behind the stall stood a burly man. Above his head was a signboard with the words "Wang Ba Hunter's Specialty" written on it. Beside Wang Ba was a chopping board. On the chopping board, there were some beast carcasses.
There were wild boars, robes, pheasants, etc. But at the front of the chopping board, the most conspicuous place, there was a black pheasant-like animal carcass.
"I say, Wang Ba, are you crazy for money? Is this a Black Phoenix? "A young man pointed at the black pheasant's carcass and said to the man called Wang Ba.
"I've checked the catalog. This is clearly the legendary Black Phoenix. If you don't want to buy it, just stand aside and watch. There will always be someone who knows!" Wang Ba didn't seem to want to argue with the young man.
"Tch, the Black Phoenix is a legendary Spirit Beast. Although I do not know what a Spirit Beast is, since it is a Spirit Beast, it must be very powerful. With your level of skill, you think you can kill a Spirit Beast?" the young man said, unconvinced.
"I …" Wang Ba was embarrassed, but he said, "If you say it's not, then it's not. I'll sell it just like this. Ten thousand, take it or leave it! If not, I'll go home and eat it myself! "
Lin Yi looked at the Black Phoenix and frowned. Lin Yi also came from a mountain village. His little brother Er Goudan's family was a hunter, so Lin Yi had some understanding of pheasants. This thing in front of him was definitely not a pheasant!
Although the two were similar, they were definitely different! Lin Yi didn't know what it was exactly, so he couldn't rule out the possibility of it being a spirit beast! As for Wang Ba being able to kill spirit beasts, it wasn't surprising. Spirit beasts like the Skybolt Pig that didn't have any attack abilities were easy to kill. Not all spirit beasts had attack abilities.
Moreover, spirit beasts had different levels of strength.
However, Lin Yi was a little confused. There were spirit beasts nearby? Generally, the places where spirit beasts appeared were places with extremely dense Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi. Those places were often occupied by sects and clans. Could it be that there were sects nearby?
Ten thousand yuan. Although it wasn't a lot for Lin Yi, it was already a sky-high price for these simple mountain people. Therefore, they looked at Wang Laoliu with ridicule. Most of the people nearby were here to watch the show, but there wasn't anyone who was interested in buying it!
If Wang Laoliu was sold for a few hundred yuan, someone might buy it to try it. However, it was not worth it to buy a pheasant for 10,000 yuan.
"Is this a phoenix?" Lin Yi asked.
Wang Laoliu had faced too many questions today, so he didn't want to answer Lin Yi's question. However, when he looked up, he saw that Lin Yi and the others were obviously wearing big city clothes. They must be a few tourists from other places, so his eyes lit up. Maybe these city people knew their stuff, so he introduced them with a smile, "You are tourists from other places, right?"
"Yeah, that's why I'm curious," Lin Yi nodded with a smile.
"That's right, you don't know the legend around here …" Wang Laoliu said seriously, "The town we live in is called Dark Night Town, and there's a mountain nearby called Dark Night Spirit Mountain. The mountain range around it is called Dark Night Mountain, and that's where I hunt."
"Dark Night Spirit Mountain?" Lin Yi paused- why did it sound like an ice mountain? Was it really a place with dense Qi? There were spirit beasts in the ice mountain, naturally, Lin Yi knew about this. For example, the white python that Qiqi had met was a spirit beast. At least, Lin Yi didn't know of any other species that was the same as the white python. It was a snake, but it wasn't a snake.
The Skybolt pig beside Lin Yi was the same. It was a pig, but it didn't really look like one. How could there be such a small pig? It was like the chibi pig in the manga- these were all mutated spirit beasts that lived in places with dense Qi! Zhang Liju's tomb was the same.
"Yes, according to the older generation, a long time ago, there was a sect on the Dark Night Spirit Mountain called the Dark Night Palace. It was a very powerful sect. The people there were all martial arts masters, and they could live forever …" Old Wang said, "And near the Dark Night Palace, there were some spiritual beasts. These spiritual beasts were different from normal beasts, they had intelligence, and could become immortals just like the people of the Dark Night Palace … Among them, the most famous was a black phoenix called the Dark Phoenix. Legend has it that those who eat the Dark Phoenix can live forever …"
"Wang Laoliu, are you trying to scare people with the fairy tales that put your kids to sleep?" Beside Wang Laoliu's stall, a woman selling goods at a hunter's stall couldn't help but tease him. Today, Wang Laoliu had hunted a strange pheasant, and while he didn't sell it, he did sell quite a lot of other beasts. It affected his business, and the woman wasn't too happy about it.
"Fairy tales aren't necessarily fake. Didn't you hear this story when you were young? You grew up with a naked baby and listened to a grandpa selling popcorn telling stories under the shade of a big tree. Didn't you believe it too? " Wang Laoliu retorted, "And like I said, it's from the older generation, it's not like I made it up. What are you so worried about?"
"Hmph …" The woman didn't know what to say, but she still humphed.
"Alright, Uncle Wang, can you continue?" Lin Yi smiled, "I think it's quite interesting!"
"Alright, then let's continue. They say that people who eat the Dark Phoenix can live forever, and they can even become Wulin masters …" Wang Laoliu said.
"If it's that good, why don't you eat it yourself?" The woman curled her lips in disdain.
"I … It's useless for a rough person like me to eat it, and I don't know how to eat it. It's better to sell it for money …" Wang Laoliu's face turned red. In fact, he didn't really believe in legends, or else why would he sell it?
"Sounds good. Let's buy it then. Can you make it cheaper?" Lin Yi asked calmly, but in his heart, he was in a state of shock! The legend might not be groundless, on the Dark Night Spiritual Mountain, there might really be a Dark Night Palace!
Perhaps it was an existence similar to the Ice Palace, that kind of ancient sect, but they didn't come into contact with the secular world, so these people thought it was just a legend …
"It's not cheap, I, Wang Laoliu, have already said it. If I can't sell it for ten thousand, I'll take it back and put it into soup." Wang Laoliu was a straightforward person, and he cared about his reputation.
