Chapter 33 Night Market
Learning that the snow girl has been subdued, the frightened man slowly regained his senses.
He probably also realized that his behavior of scaring the urine was too embarrassing, so he pulled up his gown uncomfortably in front of the two of them, trying to cover the soaked pants between his legs.
After that, he swallowed his saliva and replied: "I, I don't know very well, Fang, just now I just wanted to bring her the red silk to tie it, but she wouldn't let me tie it, so, just..."
He spoke hesitantly and couldn't speak completely, but Jiang Nan could almost guess what he wanted to express: "You mean, you have a crush on the snow monster, but she doesn't have a crush on you. ?”
"She, she, she..." the man choked, with an annoyed look on his face, "She was not a snow monster just now, she was a very beautiful woman."
Jiang Nan also knew that the snow girl was beautiful, otherwise Back then, there weren't so many demons who liked her in District Moling.
It's normal to just refuse to confess, and it won't reveal your true identity.
"Did you say anything else to her, or...did something?" She always felt that things would not be that simple.
"I...I..." The man who peed his pants had evasive eyes and was obviously guilty, but he gritted his teeth and refused to admit it: "No, I didn't do anything to her."
It's strange that Jiang Nan believed him: "Snow Demon has a good reputation. If you didn't do anything to her, how could she show up in broad daylight and ask for trouble? Tell me honestly, what did you do to her?"
Xuan Yu also noticed Realizing that the man might be hiding something, he suddenly drew his long sword and crossed it in front of the other party: "Be honest."
The man who peed his pants was timid, and he was obviously a tough guy who would not take the soft one. Just now he insisted that he didn't do it. What, now When someone held a sword to his neck, he was immediately frightened and sat down on the floor: "Okay, I said, don't kill me."
"Yes, this is it."
said Then, he took out a red stone from his waist Passing it to the two of them, "I bought this at a stall before. The man selling the stone said that this stone has the ability to capture souls. If you like a woman, just give this stone to her and she will Fall in love with me.
Just now, I took the opportunity to put the stone into her hand on the pretext that I wanted to tie the red ribbon on that person. Unexpectedly, when she found out, she threw the stone back at me angrily. And then...she took on the original form of a monster. "
Jiang Nan subconsciously reached out to take the stone and take a look, but she didn't expect that Xuan Yu caught her hand as soon as he raised it: "Be careful. ”
It was rare that he would worry about himself. Jiang Nan was actually moved for a moment, but soon returned to his thick-skinned appearance, touched the back of his hand, and then smiled jokingly: "It's okay, I'm not a monster, I won't change my true form. ”
Xuan Yu was suddenly startled when he felt a soft touch on his arm.
But before he could react, Jiang Nan had already retracted his hand as if nothing had happened, as if he hadn’t noticed that he had just teased her. Like others, he immediately turned around and took the stone from the man's hand.
After careful observation, I found that it was actually a half-refined fire crystal stone.
Although Ou Moling will never see the light of day, due to its special natural geographical environment, it is rich in various crystal stones. Most of those crystals are raw materials for forging magic weapons, so some demons often steal the crystals secretly and sell them to the outside world.
The amethyst stone that the Snow Maiden stole earlier is one of them. It is one of the best materials to use to make musical instruments that are durable and have beautiful sound and quality.
Although the fire crystal in front of me is also a product of the demon world, its output is extremely rare. The magic weapons forged with it are extremely precious, and are often priceless in the market.
The successfully refined fire crystal also has the effect of melting ice and repelling cold. It is an excellent medicine for treating cold diseases, but no matter how good things are, there are exceptions.
Ordinary monsters are just fine, but the true form of the Snow Maiden is just a snowflake. When it hits the fire crystal, ice and fire merge, and the consequences can be imagined.
Fortunately, the fire crystal in front of me was only half-refined, otherwise it would have been destroyed by the snow girl the moment she touched her. But even if it is only half-refined, it will cause irreparable damage to the snow girl.
No wonder she said before that even if Xuan Yu didn't kill her, she wouldn't live long.
It turns out that she knew she had encountered a fire crystal.
Damn it.
Xuan Yu stared at Jiang Nan and saw that she was studying the stone for a long time. The expression on her face gradually became serious. Suddenly she was curious about what she was thinking: "What's wrong? Do you know this person?" Planting stones?"
"Yes." Jiang Nan stood up and spread her palms in front of him: "This is a fire crystal stone, from the devil world. I don’t know how I ended up in this mortal world.”
After being in contact with her for the past few days, Xuan Yu has become accustomed to her erudition, and subconsciously thinks that the reason why she knows the stone is from collecting books. I knew it from a certain classic in the pavilion, so I didn’t doubt anything. I took it with my free hand and took a look.
Even though he is well-informed, this is the first time he has seen the fire crystal in front of him: "Is this kind of stone special?"
"It is quite special. It is a raw material for refining weapons and is relatively rare." Jiang Nan took a breath, "This piece has been refined, but it has not been completely refined. Ordinary people will not be affected by it. But Xue Nu has a special physique. If she touches it, her tendons will be broken, and if she touches it, her inner elixir will be damaged and her true energy will leak out."
Xuan Yu understood that Xue Nu is a snow demon. He touched this stone before. He hurt his inner alchemy, so he couldn't control himself and took on his original form.
Thinking of Xue Nu's innocent experience, the more Jiang Nan thought about it, the more he felt that he couldn't hold back for her. He held the fire crystal and waved it in front of the man who peed his pants: "Where did you buy this?"
"Gui, I bought it at the night market in Guigu."
With the knife on his neck, the man did not dare to ramble any more, "I don't remember the specific stall. Anyway, there are only a few stalls selling stones over there. If you are interested, go and look for it yourself. You should be able to find it.”
Ghost Valley?
Jiang Nan frowned, why is it this place again?
My eyes subconsciously raised to Xuan Yu’s face above: “Elder brother, where is the Ghost Valley?”
When she was still alive a hundred years ago, she had never heard of it. this place.
“To be precise, Ghost Valley is a canyon. I heard that there was a war between heaven and demon world more than a hundred years ago. After the war, the battlefield left behind was littered with corpses and rivers of blood, resulting in For decades, no weeds grew. It was not until more than ten years ago that people began to move there, and slowly, the current Ghost Valley was formed. The night markets are all about shady transactions.”
"Oh." No wonder Jiang Nan hadn't heard of it before.
In this way, Guigu is located at the junction of the human world and the demon world.
If Tianyi can escape from the demon world, other demon clan members will not rest on their laurels. The fire crystal stone comes from Qu Moling, so it would make sense if there were demon clan members who stole it and sold it in Gui Valley.
It seems that this trip to Ghost Valley is imminent.
