The short-horned antelope hurriedly withdrew its breath, and even the reflection on the mountain ridge was put away. At the same time, it used its spiritual consciousness to transmit a message: "Sir Guiji, please calm down! Little antelope, I was confused for a while and forgot that you are cultivating here.
Just leave and please forgive me!"
The Iron-headed Goshawk seemed a bit unruly. It deliberately held its breath in mid-air, waiting for a few breaths before slowly taking it back.
"You guys are doing your thing, you don't have to leave, just keep it quiet." The old voice said slowly.
"Master, there is actually a senior expert here? Who is Fourth Master Gui?" the young monk who was grilling meat in front of the stone house asked quietly.
The white-haired monk cast a soundproof shield, covering the two of them, and then replied: "This is a senior, but he is not a high-ranking person.
The one who spoke just now was a wild beast. His true form was a plate-armored rock turtle, and he called himself Turtle Four. He was old and had a high level of cultivation, so everyone called him Turtle Four.
The plate-armored rock turtles have a lifespan of over a thousand years. They like to be quiet and don't like to move. They can often complete promotions while sleeping. They are a race favored by the world.
This Fourth Master Gui came to Fuyun Yuan next to the Misty Depression about forty or fifty years ago to practice cultivation until today.
He is lazy by nature and rarely takes action, so many people forget or ignore his existence.
But his strength should not be underestimated. As early as more than three hundred years ago, Fourth Master Gui had already advanced to become a desolate beast. Now, even if his strength has not reached the peak of a desolate beast, it is not far behind.
Moreover, it is said that he had a great opportunity in his early years and took a strange fruit - the Tonghui fruit. Not only did his spiritual intelligence greatly increase, but his transverse bones were also transformed. He could speak earlier instead of communicating with his spiritual consciousness or using other words.
Breath simulates pronunciation.”
After the white-haired old man finished speaking, he removed the protective shield. He gently pinched open the hard skin of the silver fruit in his hand, and then handed it to the young monk.
The young monk Qingyun took the silver fruit and sprinkled the juice evenly on the meat skewers. The fragrance of the juice mixed with the strong aroma of the barbecue, forming a mixed aroma that made people salivate.
"Two little friends from the human race, I, Guisi, have taken the liberty of disturbing you. I have always heard that the human race is good at cooking delicious food, and when I met them today, they are well-deserved. The two of them are superb at changing teeth, which makes me happy, and I am willing to exchange my treasures for one or two.
I wonder if that’s okay?”
A voice passed through the defensive formation and reached the ears of the two human monks clearly.
It's not that the formation failed. The defensive formation and breath gathering formation in front of the stone house were just to cover up the figure and were not opened to the maximum.
This place is not far from the location where Fourth Master Gui is cultivating. The plate-armored rock turtle is born with the earth element talent. Fourth Master Gui's cultivation level is also high. It really doesn't take much effort to sense the situation in the formation.
"Senior has given you too much praise. I have a group of human monks from Jade City, Ling Feng, and his young disciple Qingyun who have met your senior.
We and several orc masters are stationed here to maintain order in and out of the Misty Hollow during the Grand Fair.
As for cooking, we only have a glimpse of the skills, and we are not as good as a real spiritual food master. The barbecue we are making at this time is the double-tail chicken raised by our group in Yucheng, which is better than the large output and delicious meat.
Outside, it doesn't have much value.
Senior, if you want to taste it, I will offer it to you, and there is no need to exchange it."
After Ling Feng finished speaking, he opened the passage reserved for the defensive formation. Eight or nine skewers of double-tailed chicken were already roasted on the barbecue grill, and there were still four or five skewers left that had just been put on and were not yet cooked.
The young monk Qingyun was very discerning. He placed all the grilled meat skewers on a wooden plate, held the wooden plate in both hands and walked out of the defensive formation.
"Thank you so much, little friend Ling Feng. Just consider this small gift as a meeting gift!"
A gust of breeze blew by, and Qingyun's hand sank, barely holding the wooden plate in his hand. The meat skewers on the wooden plate had disappeared, and instead there was a piece of yellow-orange crystal.
The crystal was only the size of a baby's fist, but it was extremely heavy, weighing over a hundred kilograms. Qingyun, who was at the sixth level of Qi training, was not prepared and almost let go.
"Earth energy crystal?" The iron-headed goshawk hiding in the woods had sharp eyes and recognized the gift left by Fourth Master Gui at once.
Earth Qi crystals can sharpen Qi and blood and strengthen the physical body, which is quite helpful for this iron-headed goshawk.
It's just that this beast-level iron-headed goshawk is a poor man. The only valuable silver fruit on his body has just been lost, so the exchange will definitely not work, and he is very short of money.
As for the robbery that it is most accustomed to, it may be okay when it encounters others, but it will be blind when it encounters Ling Feng.
Even though it can fly, Ling Feng's cultivation is only at the fifth level of the foundation building stage, but he can't prepare for someone who is a swordsman.
Sword cultivators not only have extremely powerful attacks, but also can acquire strong long-range attack capabilities through sword-wielding techniques.
Although sword cultivators may have weaknesses of one kind or another due to their distinct characteristics, overall, sword cultivators are very capable of restraining birds and beasts.
In addition, this earth energy crystal was taken out by the fourth master turtle, and the iron-headed goshawk was worried that if he snatched it away, he would anger the old turtle.
It’s true that the Iron-headed Goshawk can fly. It can usually stay far away from Mr. Gui. If you can’t offend him, why can’t you hide him?
But it has to be stationed here during this period. For such a crystal of earth energy, it would be unwise to offend the fourth master Gui in addition to the human race.
As Qingyun retreated into the formation, the defensive formation and concealment formation were reactivated, and the surroundings returned to the previous calm. I am afraid no one would believe that there were actually three masters guarding outside an inconspicuous passage in the foggy depression.
It is not only the iron-headed goshawk in the woods that likes to get something for nothing, but many orcs are also accustomed to doing so. It is only their instinct to prey on the weak.
The reason why the black market in Miwuwa has been able to exist for many years is precisely because all the major forces in the surrounding areas, including the human race, have realized the importance of the existence of the black market to their own development. Everyone tacitly cooperates with each other to eliminate various hidden dangers as much as possible.
Within the scope of the black market, robbery or murder are strictly prohibited. Once discovered, all parties will take severe punishment.
Especially during the big trade fair, all parties will send out capable personnel to cooperate with each other, and at the same time supervise each other, closing all channels in and out of the foggy depression.
Only those who hold entry and exit certificates can participate in black market transactions during this period.
Due to the terrain limitations, there are two avenues and five trails that can lead to and from the foggy depression. The path Gao Xingyu took is one of the trails.
Human sword cultivator Ling Feng, as well as Iron-headed Goshawk and Short-horned Antelope, are the temporary guards arranged outside this trail. They come from three different forces and will always be stationed here during the Grand Fair.
Their task is not only to prevent unauthorized persons from entering the black market and disrupting the trading order, but more importantly, to prevent traders from robbing trading items and escaping.
If it is a thoroughfare, the number of temporary guards will be even greater. Occasionally, there will even be top experts in the world such as the Human Race's False Alchemy Stage or the Beast Race's Wild Beast Peak to guard it to deter traders who do not intend to abide by the rules.
