Dragon's blood?
As if alarmed by the Flame Giant's roar, the entire market was in an uproar.
Flaming creatures of all shapes and sizes gathered around, continuously sniffing and sensing the strange dragon aura in the air.
Grimm waved his hand, and under the pressure of the powerful firepower, a miniature fire dragon drilled out of the jar. It circled in the air and spat out a thin stream of flames before slowly dispersing.
"It's Fire Dragon's blood! It's rank 2 Fire Dragon's blood! "
There were a few amongst the spectating flaming creatures who knew their stuff, and their words were filled with unconcealable joy.
While the Flame Giant's face was filled with ecstasy, the Fire Devil's expression suddenly turned ugly.
"Trade … I'll trade …" The Flame Giant raised his hand, and a large ring of fire enveloped him and Grimm, "Hey, little fella, I'm Mansur. How do you intend to trade with me?"
Grimm scanned his surroundings. With the help of the A.I. Chip, he discovered that this ring of fire had the ability to both defend and isolate information from the outside world. He couldn't help but admire the control these fire creatures had over their skills. Every single one of them had reached perfection.
"I have 2.5kg of Fire Dragon's blood here, and it's pure rank 2 Fire Dragon's blood …"
The joy in the Flame Giant's fiery eyes became even more intense.
Out of all the fire elemental creatures, Fire Dragons were undoubtedly the oldest and most experienced. There were few magic creatures that had fire aura in their blood that could compare to Fire Dragons. If he sacrificed Fire Dragon's blood during the awakening ceremony of his descendants, the Flame Giant Mansur could guarantee that his children would obtain one or two decent fire innate talents.
One had to know that no matter how powerful a Flame Giant was, there was a certain chance that its offspring would fail to awaken a new Flame Giant. If they failed, their bloodline would disappear, and they would devolve into ordinary fire elemental spirits.
However, if they used the Fire Dragon's blood, the chances of failure would be reduced to a small one, and they might even obtain some decent fire innate talents from their ancestor.
Hence, the Flame Giant Mansur, who had been indifferent as usual, became anxious, afraid that something might happen to this trade.
Grimm hesitated for a moment, and finally gave a good price.
"One Flame Essence for 500g of Fire Dragon Blood …"
Flame Giant Mansur rubbed his hands regretfully. Although this price did not meet his expectations, it was still a worthwhile deal.
It must be known that although Flame Essence was precious, as long as one had the patience to collect it, they would always be able to find some in those fiery lands. Moreover, for pure fire creatures like them, the Flame Essence's effect on them was definitely not as obvious as that of the outsiders.
But Fire Dragon Blood was different.
Both of them might be Level 2 Fire-type materials, but due to the scarcity of the latter, the value of Fire Dragon Blood in the Fire Elemental Plane was definitely far above that of Flame Essence. Hence, Mansur was satisfied with the price offered by the human Magus.
After that, the two of them exchanged their items in a friendly manner and put away their spoils of war in satisfaction.
Taking advantage of the time when the Ring of Fire had yet to dissipate, the Flame Giant Mansur suddenly reminded him, "You must be that human Magus from the Magus World! Little guy, be careful. There are many fellows looking for you nearby. After you leave the market, remember to run faster. Of course, if you encounter any trouble, you can come to my clan to seek protection. Remember, my clan's encampment is at … "
Grimm's heart skipped a beat.
Although Grimm had been worried that he would fall into an enemy's trap after sneaking into the Fire Elemental Plane, it was all just a guess. There was no way to confirm it. Now, after hearing the Flame Giant's words, Grimm had confirmed his guess for the first time.
The mission to assassinate the Flame Lord was indeed a trap. If he went straight to the Flame Lord's territory as promised, what awaited him would definitely be an entire Flame Legion.
Grimm sighed and could not help but worry about the latter half of his journey.
After the Ring of Fire disappeared, Flame Giant Mansur nodded at Grimm and strode out of the Flame Market, heading towards the encampment of his clan.
Grimm was surrounded by a group of fire creatures that had been waiting for a long time. Among them, there was no lack of frightening Level 3 fire creatures.
"Human, do you still have the Fire Dragon's blood?" An abnormally large Lava Giant pushed the crowd aside and asked loudly.
This Lava Giant had the strength of a Grade 3 Magma Giant, and its entire body was composed of crimson lava and raging flames. It was over 10 meters tall, and when it walked, it gave off loud thumping sounds. Ordinary small creatures could not even stand within 20 meters of it.
"I still have one kilogram!" Grimm did not hide anything from the group of fire creatures that were eyeing him covetously.
Although fire creatures were tyrannical and would easily start a fight, they had an incomprehensible adherence to the rules of trading. Even if they were impatient, and even if this Level 3 Lava Giant was far stronger than the Flame Giant, it would not interfere before the trade was completed.
In this aspect, fire creatures valued the sacred rules of trading more than most intelligent creatures. At the very least, in this Flame Market, it was impossible to see people forcefully buying or robbing.
"Two kilograms … Alright, although it's a little, it's still enough!" The Lava Giant mumbled helplessly, "Little fellow, take a look at this. Do you need it?"
The Lava Giant inserted the magma surging hand into its body and pulled out a two-meter-long fire stick from inside.
Grimm looked at it carefully, and the A.I. Chip quickly recognised its essence based on the information it had gathered.
Flaming Coral Lava Staff!
This was an elemental staff that could greatly increase the power of fire element spellcasters. As its entire body was made of flaming coral lava, its sturdiness was comparable to some heavy weapons. In close combat, it was a good choice to use it to smash people.
According to the A.I. Chip's scan, this Flaming Coral Lava Staff could increase one's power by 15-25%, which was not bad at all!
Grimm pondered for a moment, and finally shook his head.
The Lava Giant wasn't discouraged. It chuckled and returned the Flaming Coral Staff to its body. It then took out a handful of Grade 2 Fire Core Crystals. A rough count showed that there were at least five of them.
This time, Grimm shook his head even faster.
Although Grade 2 crystal cores were precious, as long as he was still in the fire elemental plane, he would have plenty of time to slowly collect them. There was no need to use the precious Fire Dragon's blood to exchange for them.
It seemed that the stock in its hands was about to be emptied, and the Lava Giant became a little anxious.
For the third time, it took out a Lava Amulet from its pocket.
"Little fellow, this is a Lava Talisman that has my soul aura etched on it. With this talisman, you can summon my soul projection to fight for you. A Lava Talisman can only summon a soul projection once, and it can last for 15 minutes. The strength of the soul projection is at the initial rank of 3. This … should be enough to exchange for your remaining Dragon Blood! "
Grimm's eyes lit up, and he said loudly, "Two Lava Talismans! I want to exchange for two Lava Talismans! "
The Lava Giant laughed strangely, "Human Magus, don't be too greedy. Your Fire Dragon's blood is at most a Grade 2 material, but my Lava Talisman is a Grade 3 item …"
Without any hesitation, Grim took out another clay pot from his pocket. "2 catties for 2 of your amulets. That's a fair deal, right?"
The Lava Giant was stunned at first, and then shook its head and laughed, "You outsiders are always so cunning and greedy! Alright, alright, I'll exchange for 2! "
After saying this, the Lava Giant took out a flint from its body and formed it into the shape of a talisman. It then blew a wisp of pure golden flames into it. In a short while, a new Lava Talisman was created!
After handing the 2 jins of Fire Dragon's blood to the Lava Giant, Grimm used the A.I. Chip to scan the two heavy Lava Talismans.
[Beep. Discovered two strange soul imprints. Initial speculation is that they are soul projection tools … The talisman weighs 17 jin, and the strength of the soul projection is 825 degrees … With this talisman, you can temporarily summon a weakened Lava Giant to fight for you … Duration: 15 minutes … Soul rank: Initial Grade 3 …]
A Grade 3 tool … This was a genuine Grade 3 tool!
Though it was a one-time use and only lasted for 15 minutes, a Initial Grade 3 Lava Giant's soul projection was enough to help Grimm do many things. For example, killing a certain annoying Lord of the Flames with a single slap …
Having obtained what it needed, the Lava Giant did not hesitate to leave the Flame Bazaar.
Faced with the rest of the flaming creatures, Grimm could only regretfully express that he no longer had any Fire Dragon's blood. Only then did the crowd disperse unwillingly.
Just as Grimm was about to leave the Flame Bazaar, he suddenly heard the hoarse voice of the Fire Demon.
"Hey, human Magus, do you want to make a deal with me?"
Grimm stopped in his tracks and slowly turned around to look at the Abyss Demon wrapped in flames.
"What can you give me? What do you want from me? "
The Fire Demon's attitude was extremely cordial, "Human Magus, don't be so guarded. You should know that we came to this remote and desolate place for the rare flaming materials. It's rare to meet a friend from the Magus World. Why don't we make use of this opportunity to exchange what we need? "
Grimm hesitated for a moment, but he finally forced away the steaming flames that covered his face and revealed his face. He said arrogantly, "Let me introduce myself. I'm Grimm from the Magus World. I'm the leader of the Scarlet Family in the Taryn region!"
