Chapter 948 - 948 What Is the Matter
948 What Is the Matter
The Human race was the most numerous in Dark Spirit Town.
However, they did not live very well in Dark Spirit Town. They were not slaves of foreign races either. It could only be said that the status of the Human race in Dark Spirit Town was not very high. They could only be considered commoners, while gnomes, Dwarves, and even Elf races could be considered nobles here.
Strength was class, and the class was the difference.
There were at least hundreds of thousands of people here.
It was thanks to the secret of the underground space that they could survive here. Otherwise, there would not be so many people surviving underground. However, seeing so many humans survive, Li Xiang felt a little emotional and happy.
“Alright, I’ll go to Dark Spirit Town and experience it for myself. I’ll see what it’s like when so many races live together.”
Li Xiang muttered to himself.
Then, he began to walk toward Dark Spirit Town.
Although it was called a town, it was not much different from a city.
“What’s planted here? It looks like an extraordinary species. Moreover, it contains Spiritual Qi although it’s very weak. Some are strong while some are weak.”
Li Xiang walked in the underground world. The soil under his feet was not much different from that on the ground. However, it was not completely dark here despite not seeing the sun all year round. There was an underground river nearby. This was no ordinary underground river. It was a river of lava. It was flowing with boiling lava, emitting red light.
There was a volcano nearby.
It contained a huge amount of earth fire, and the lava flowed out of the volcano. It became the most direct light in the underground world. Under the light of the lava, the entire underground space looked a little dark red. It was like fresh blood. This was also the origin of Dark Spirit Town.
This lava river became a treasure land for Dwarves and gnomes to forge. This was also the reason why they chose to build the city here.
Also, in the open area outside the town, one could see patches of black rice growing luxuriously.
These grains of rice looked very strange. They were not ordinary grains of rice, but a unique type.
“Black rice. I didn’t expect there to be such food that is suitable for growing in the dark. Indeed, there are all kinds of strange things in the world. Anything can happen.”
Li Xiang obtained information about this grain from his probing skill. It was a kind of rice that was suitable for growing in darkness. The rice that grew out was also black. It tasted good and could be used to brew wine. This was not ordinary rice, but a kind of spiritual grain. It was the most common yellow low-grade spiritual grain, but the advantage of being able to grow it in the dark on a large scale made its value extraordinary.
It contained Spiritual Qi.
There were benefits to eating it. The biggest benefit was that it could make one’s body have no problems in this dark world and remain healthy. Moreover, it could also increase one’s strength bit by bit. This required a large amount of black rice because the increment was not very high.
The people of Dark Spirit Town were not surprised by Li Xiang’s arrival. There were many humans here, so no one could tell if he was an original resident here. No one had expected an outsider to enter this underground world silently.
This was almost impossible.
Li Xiang easily entered the city through the city gate.
The town was very big, but the buildings looked a little messy.
However, it was still quite lively.
Green-skinned gnomes with pointy ears, long noses, and sharp mouths were sitting on both sides of the street. They set up stalls to sell some goods. From time to time, they would pull people over to them. They would chat wildly, making people involuntarily fooled.
Gnomes could be seen bargaining with others everywhere. They could even argue a penny for a long time.
Their greedy personality seemed to have been carved into their bones. It was impossible to make any changes.
Gnomes were not only top-notch engineers and alchemists, but they were also top-notch business talents. Their desire for money was inherited over generations. They were the best merchants, but also the most stingy.
They could bargain a gold coin for an entire day.
“Hey, Human race brother! Don’t go! Don’t go first.”
While Li Xiang was walking on the street, a gnome on a corner saw him. Its eyes lit up as if it had seen endless wealth, money, and treasures.
It quickly went forward and pulled Li Xiang as it shouted.
“What’s the matter?”
Li Xiang glanced at the gnome and could tell that it was a smart guy.
“Brother, you must be from outside.”
The gnome’s eyes kept rolling as it quickly said.
“How did you know?” asked Li Xiang calmly.
The gnome in front of him was certain that he was from the outside world. It was useless to deny it.
“Hehe! Isn’t that easy? Although the clothes you’re wearing have been disguised, the fabric is not something that the people of Dark Spirit Town have. I’m sure about this. It’s exquisite and gorgeous, and it’s worth thousands of gold. This kind of fabric is not something that ordinary people can afford. It had never appeared in Dark Spirit Town. Otherwise, I would have known about it. This kind of fabric can’t hide from my eyes.”
The gnome revealed a shrewd gaze and said directly.
Li Xiang looked at his clothes. Although he tried to disguise himself by wearing clothes made of fog brocade, it was still like a pile of shiny gold coins to the sharp-eyed gnome in Dark Spirit Town. How could it not see such a dazzling sight?
Moreover, his clothes were neat, which was very rare in Dark Spirit Town.
“Interesting. I didn’t expect that my clothes would expose me.” Li Xiang also smiled, but he didn’t mind. He had never deliberately hidden anything anyway. Since he had come in, he would have to meet the upper echelons of Dark Spirit Town sooner or later.
“Hehe! This is not worth mentioning. Our Dark Spirit Town is the largest black market for the various foreign race tribes in the surrounding area. The first seven days of every month are the opening day of the black market. There are only a few days left until the next opening day. The black market is crowded with foreign race tribes and countless rare treasures. However, in my judgment, clothes, and fabrics like yours are in high demand in the black market. Brother, do you want to do a big deal?”
The gnome’s eyes lit up.
Its expression was as if a mountain of gold and silver was in front of it.
It was just waiting for it to get it.
