Starting from Zhen Xin Town's port and walking along the beach for about seven or eight kilometers to the east, one would see a huge mountain towering over the sea.
The black market that Kaede Sato was looking for was located in the belly of this mountain range.
If it weren't for the local tyrant's introduction and guidance, Kaede Sato might not have been able to find the entrance to the black market in the belly of the mountain range, even if he spent a month searching for it.
Because the entrance to the black market was located in the middle of the mountain, there was a man-made underwater passage there. Kaede Sato had to rely on the Water Elves or diving tools to enter the black market.
The size of the black market could be determined by looking at the local economy. Therefore, when Kaede Sato saw that the economy of Zhen Xin Town's port was not very good, he initially thought that the black market here would be very small.
However, when Kaede Sato entered the black market through the underwater passage with the help of the Swamp Monster, he realized that he was wrong, and very wrong.
The belly of the mountain was a completely different world. It was very spacious, and the rock walls were planted with a large number of glowing plants, making the huge black market in the belly of the mountain as bright as day.
In terms of scale, the black market here was naturally far inferior to the underground black market in Jinhuang City, but compared to the black market in ordinary cities such as Nibi City, the black market here could be considered very large.
Moreover, it was even more prosperous than the black markets in ordinary cities such as Nibi City. Here, he actually saw a small dock with many small diving boats docked on the shore.
Obviously, the underwater passage that Kaede Sato used to enter the black market was just one of the many ways to enter the black market. There were many other ways that he didn't know about.
The reason why the black market at Zhen Xin Town's port was separated from the port was largely due to the pressure from Zhen Xin Town. Because of the strong power of Zhen Xin Town, the gray forces had no choice but to build this secret black market on the outskirts.
In fact, the people of Zhenxin Town were naturally aware of the existence of this black market, but seeing that the endless gray organizations at the port of Zhenxin Town were so obedient, they turned a blind eye to it.
However, even though the gray organizations at Zhenxin Town's port had been severely suppressed, the black market was still very popular.
Due to its remote location and the fact that it was managed by Zhen Xin Town itself, the Alliance didn't care much about this place.
Therefore, it was a very good transit point for smuggling. Many smugglers who left Withered City for the capital and further places would resupply, trade, and purchase in the black market here.
Similarly, the smugglers from the capital or the Western Continent to the Guandong Continent would also resupply, trade, and purchase goods in this black market.
If it wasn't for the fact that Zhenxin Town's influence was too great and the local gray forces were severely suppressed, perhaps Zhenxin Town's port would have become a huge transit station for maritime smuggling.
The arrival of the stranger, Kaede Sato, quickly attracted the attention of the gray forces entrenched in this black market. Soon, five burly men with a strange snake tattooed on their chests came to him with a group of elves.
However, fortunately, the Rocket Team's reputation in the dark world of Kanto is very loud. After Sato Kaede showed his identity and showed his strength, he obtained the right to move freely here.
"I'm new here. Brother, can you introduce me to this black market? It's just a small token of respect."
Kaede Sato took out a stack of alliance notes that were larger than 100,000 Alliance dollars and handed it to the burly man who claimed to be a member of the Clown Sea Snake Gang.
"Brother, you're being too polite. It's our duty to introduce the black market managed by the Clown Sea Snake Gang to our guests. I'll start with …"
Seeing that Kaede Sato was being so polite, the burly man weighed the alliance notes in his hand slightly. His face, which was originally ashen because his elves had been defeated by Kaede Sato's Swamp Monster, suddenly had a smile on it. He then nodded to Kaede Sato and said.
Although there had been more members of the Rockets coming to the black market recently and they had brought a lot of trouble to the order of the black market, the member of the Rockets in front of him was very strong and very polite. Hence, the burly man knew that he could not offend him.
Soon, through the burly man's simple explanation, Kaede Sato roughly understood the distribution of forces in this black market.
The black market in the mountains was currently managed by the two gray forces, the Clown Sea Snake Gang and the Black Fish Gang. However, perhaps the burly man was a member of the Clown Sea Snake Gang, and the main management of the black market was currently in the hands of the Clown Sea Snake Gang.
The strength of these two gangs was quite good. According to the burly man's proud introduction, the two gray forces were supported by Heavenly King trainers and had countless powerhouses under them.
Kaede Sato only believed about half of the burly man's words. However, he still believed that the other party had the support of a Heavenly King trainer.
Otherwise, how could the Rockets let go of such a seemingly juicy piece of meat in the black market so easily? There must be a strong trainer behind them.
At the same time, Kaede Sato also learned from the burly man that because there had been many incidents of members of the Rockets robbing and selling in the black market, the people in the black market were now hostile to the members of the Rockets.
"How would a normal Rocket rookie dare to cause trouble? It seems like it's just as Kondo Castle said. There are indeed a lot of so-called 'rookies' in this competition. It's going to be difficult to get a good result."
After hearing the burly man's threatening words, Kaede Sato thought in his heart without changing his expression.
After that, Kaede Sato thanked the burly man and entered the black market. However, he found that there were still a few small tails behind him. Obviously, they were still wary of a powerful member of the Rockets who came from another place.
In fact, Kaede Sato understood the feelings of the upper echelons of the gray forces that occupied this place very well.
They might think that the sudden appearance of the members of the Rockets here was a sign that the Rockets intended to occupy this place, so they were so repulsed by the members of the Rockets.
Kaede Sato had an indifferent attitude towards this. Anyway, he was here to trade, and he had no intention of causing trouble.
Not to mention the strong repulsion of the gray forces towards the Rockets. As a smuggling transit station between the Kanto continent and other continents, the goods here were undoubtedly very complete, and there were many rare treasures.
Kaede Sato quickly bought the remaining ingredients to make the low-grade version of the special elf food of the Pikachu race. He even bought a lot of the skin of the Photoelectric Umbrella Lizard, which was the most difficult to collect.
The Photoelectric Umbrella Lizard was a unique elf of the Carlos region.
It was not easy to buy the skin of the Photoelectric Umbrella Lizard in the Kanto continent. In Kaede Sato's impression, it might only be possible to buy this ingredient in the underground black market of Jinhuang City.
Now, Kaede Sato had successfully collected enough elf food to make the low-grade version of the special elf food of the Pikachu race. Next, he only needed to try making it.
However, when Kaede Sato was about to leave the black market in the mountain, he saw a rather useful elf item here. He had seen this elf item on Nanami's long-eared rabbit not long ago.
It was a silver bell with some patterns that were smaller than mosquitoes engraved on it. It looked quite mysterious.
Yes, this elf item was called the Soothing Bell. It had the ability to calm the emotions of creatures. At the same time, it also had the ability to increase the intimacy between the elf and the trainer.
