Chapter 151 The Overbearing Poison Madman!
This is a scorched, blackened land, barren of everything!
The mountains stretch for hundreds of miles, dotted with caves of varying sizes, resembling a honeycomb.
This is the legendary Sunset Mountains! The location of the trade fair!
“You’re passing by, don’t miss it!”
"Freshly cooked fourth-tier ferocious beast meat, absolutely fair price, no deception!"
"I just caught some top-tier fire spirit beasts and ice spirit beasts! Everyone come and take a look!"
……
At this moment... there are many figures, all carrying goods into the cave.
At first glance, the flow of people appears to be in the thousands...
In each cave, a small faction gathers.
Normally, these forces would fight and even kill each other for years over the limited water and food resources, and they would all harbor deep grudges and dislike each other.
But now, even though some people are hostile, no one dares to make a move.
These people were all busy preparing to set up their stalls and trade...
Because this is a trade fair; everyone here is here to trade and gather information...
Anyone who dares to make a move here will be jointly besieged and annihilated by the three major forces of Black Soil City, Flame City, and Hurricane City.
The trade fair wouldn't start until the afternoon, and the three major powers wouldn't arrive until then either.
However... some smaller factions don't have anything good, so they can only come early in order to seize the initiative.
"Brothers, shout louder! Sell the goods before the three major powers arrive, then we can go home! Oh no..." At the entrance of a cave, a burly man shouted at the top of his lungs, then his expression suddenly changed drastically. "The people from Black Soil City are here! Let's go!"
With that, the burly man picked up two iron cages, each half a meter long, wide, and high, and ran off.
"What? Run!" Upon hearing this, the group of burly men all changed their expressions drastically.
Hundreds of people immediately packed their belongings, trying to make a quick getaway.
"Wu the old dog, where do you think you're going?" Just then, a mocking voice suddenly rang out.
Immediately afterwards, a figure covered in black poison spots appeared here as if by magic.
"Fourth, Fourth Leader, I..."
Upon seeing Du Feng, the group of people instantly turned pale and dared not run any further. The burly man said with a bitter face, "We, the Kurong tribe, will definitely pay the protection fee promised to Black Soil City. Please, Fourth Chief, be lenient and give us a little more time."
"Hmph! A little more time?"
Poison Madman sneered, the poison spots on his face twitching. Suddenly, his gaze fell on the two iron cages carried by the burly man, and his eyes lit up as he said, "Hand over these two ferocious beasts, and that will be your protection fee for this month."
The two iron cages contained two ferocious beasts, which were clearly not ordinary creatures.
A small dog flaming.
The other one is a snow-white fox that exudes a chilling aura.
"What? Why?"
Upon hearing this, the expressions of everyone in the Kurong tribe changed.
Everyone's eyes were filled with anger.
Most ferocious beasts are only physically powerful, with strength and speed far exceeding that of humans, but they do not have any special abilities.
Only those who reach the fourth, fifth, or sixth rank in strength can awaken special talents. Such naturally powerful beasts are called legendary spirit beasts. Not only do they have strong bloodlines, but they are also highly intelligent and have a chance of being tamed by humans.
Once tamed, with the powerful talents of spirit beasts, they will become formidable combat forces in the future!
Therefore, in the wasteland world, a powerful spirit beast is even more valuable than a divine weapon!
Moreover... the Kurong tribe sacrificed more than a dozen of its members to capture these two spirit beasts, one fire and one ice. How could they possibly hand them over?
"If you don't hand it over, the people of the Kurong tribe will all die here!" Poison Madman's eyes turned cold.
Upon hearing this, not only the Kurong tribe, but also the other small tribes all changed their expressions drastically.
On-site, many tribal settlements were within the territory ruled by Heitu City.
Black Soil City has long collected exorbitant protection fees, threatening to exterminate any clan that refuses to pay.
Unexpectedly, they dared to make such harsh remarks at the trade conference.
Everyone looked grim, but no one dared to defy Black Soil City.
A small, withered tribe dared not resist.
In the end... the burly man had no choice but to grit his teeth and hand over the two spirit beasts.
"Humph!"
Upon arriving at the trade fair, Du Feng was overjoyed to have acquired two rare spirit beasts. He left triumphantly, leaving behind a group of vengeful Kurong tribe members, as well as people from other factions.
Everyone looked at Poison Madman with resentment.
At the trade fair, physical violence is strictly prohibited, and indiscriminate killing is absolutely forbidden.
This is an ironclad rule jointly established by the three major powers!
The purpose is to ensure the smooth operation of the trade fair and to defend against humanity's common enemy—the ferocious beasts.
After all... in recent years, the moon has been getting bigger and bigger, and it feels like it's getting closer and closer to the mainland. Perhaps that's why the dark aura in the forest is becoming more and more intense, and it's even spreading outwards.
It felt as if a huge mountain was pressing down on everyone's hearts.
The smaller factions all hoped to take advantage of the trade fair to acquire weapons, resources, water, food, and other items that could enhance their fighting capabilities...
Only in this way can they lead their people to survive in the face of possible disasters to come.
Before the arrival of the drug frenzy, everyone was very busy, with constant shouts and many people trading with each other.
Many people felt that coming to the trade fair was worthwhile!
But now... this madman has just arrived and has already broken the rules of the trade fair.
This is an attempt to cut off their hope of survival!
"The people from Flame City and Hurricane City have arrived too!" someone exclaimed in surprise.
Upon hearing this, everyone walked out of the cave and looked out of the mountains.
Down the mountain, a group of hundreds of people, carrying large and small bags of goods on their backs or shoulders, were climbing the mountain in a grand procession.
"Great! With them here, someone can now suppress Black Earth City!"
A sharp-eyed person immediately recognized that both Flame City and Hurricane City had their own flags: one was a ball of crimson flame, and the other was a ball of green storm.
Among the three major forces, Black Soil City is the strongest and has the deepest foundation.
However, if Flame City and Hurricane City join forces, they can still easily suppress Black Soil City.
These two major powers aren't exactly kind to smaller forces like theirs, but at least they don't bully others by abusing their power.
With them there, the trade conference could proceed smoothly.
"Let's go over there and make ourselves known!"
"That's right! I heard that the two young city lords of Flame City and Hurricane City have come. Their status is extremely noble, far beyond what a mere leader like Poison Mad can compare to. If we can curry favor with them, let's see if Poison Mad dares to touch us again?"
"go!"
A group of leaders of minor factions rushed down the mountain.
A moment later, at the foot of the mountain.
A group of leaders of minor factions with strength at the fourth or fifth level all crowded around Xiao Tian and Liu Ruyan.
"Greetings, Young City Lord Xiao Tian! You are truly a man of exceptional talent and remarkable promise!"
"Yes! At only seventeen years old, he's already at the peak of the sixth rank, and could break through to the seventh rank at any time!"
"And then there's Young City Lord Liu Ruyan, she truly is a celestial beauty, her looks are unparalleled in the world!"
"We are truly honored to be able to accompany two such outstanding individuals at the trade conference!"
