Chapter 30: The River of the Netherworld

After a long time, Chen Fang had never had any concept of time, and during this time, he saw more things, animals, and people.

A few months ago, a homeless man shaking a bell met Chen Fang, his hair was very long, covered with stains, so dense that it almost blocked his view, he was wearing a shabby suit, he looked like a decent person before, Chen Fang asked him curiously why he could survive here until now.

The homeless man remained silent and continued to shake his bell.

In Chen Fang's opinion, his way of ringing the bell would only hasten his death.

But who can live here is an ordinary person?

Just a few days ago, there was an organization of supernatural people set up outside this deserted circle, hunting those strange and rare beasts, to sell their corpses and furs, which would make them a fortune.

If you are lucky and meet monster cubs, you can even let them retire directly to the circle for the elderly.

As for who buys those things, of course, it's the people who stay in the depths of the circle.

They don't have to worry about their own safety at all, the supreme warrior intercepts all threats from the monsters in the circle, just like people who live a peaceful life at home, and they don't understand the hardships of the front-line warriors who shed their blood.

Even if you support it silently, there will be no real empathy.

The homeless man just shook his worn-out painted bell and frantically told Chen Fang that these monsters were not of this world.

When Chen Fang asked more, the homeless man shook his bell again and walked away.

In the boundless desert, the figure of the homeless man walked farther and farther, the hot sun made the vision a little blurred, Chen Fang took out the water bag hanging on his waist, took a sip of water, wiped his mouth, put away the water bag, and walked into the distance.

Not long ago, Chen Fang walked to a place where the night was perennial, and the animals that lived here said that there was a strange beast living here, and they had never seen the appearance of the strange beast, only that since it came, the sky here had never been bright at all.

Chen Fang was able to talk to animals, also thanks to the black monster in his body.

Since arriving here, the comfortable black aura in Chen Fang's body suddenly became ready to move.

The sky, as if it had been cut open, was half night and half day.

Chen Fang was not stupid, he knew that he couldn't afford to mess with things here, so he didn't set foot in that area.

……

Right now.

Chen Fang sat on the ground, leaning against the wall behind him, looking at the sky, he often pondered like this.

Look at the sky.

It's like a person who has been wandering outside for many years, and can't help but feel homesick.

"I've slept for five years, that's a long time."

……

Another few months later.

Circle, L City.

This is located on the edge of the circle inside and outside the circle.

"Come and see, adult Phantom Blade Wolf!"

A hawker shouted.

In the iron cage behind him, there was a black body hair, a thin and strong body, sharp claws grinding the iron cage under his feet, and two blue eyes looking at the crowd, looking similar to an ordinary wolf, but this kind of wolf does exist in the illustrated book of the eternal plan.

Phantom blade wolf, unknown origin, unknown ability, wolf-like, cannibal.

Monsters of all shapes and sizes appear in various prisons for people to trade.

All sorts of people walk here and come to buy these monsters.

It's as if they're no longer aggressive, and the tragedy of five years ago doesn't seem to be repeated.

Because they know that there are powerful people who are outwardly spilling their blood to guard the only frontier of mankind.

The most well-known are the gods.

God-like man, like a towering mountain, forcibly separates monsters from humans.

A figure appeared, wearing a black robe with his head bowed, and the hat on his coat directly covered his entire face.

He made his way through the crowd, and although some people looked at him strangely, he didn't seem to care, and still walked forward.

Suddenly, he stopped and turned his head to the man who was setting up the stall on the other side.

Next to the man, there was a small cage, and inside the cage, a pitch-black creature the size of a palm was curled up in the corner, and two glowing brown eyes looked at the black-robed man.

If it weren't for those two eyes, anyone would have thought it was just a black ball.

He raised his hand and pointed at the black object, paused, and opened his mouth, but did not spit out a word.

As if he didn't know how to speak, it took a while for a few syllables to slowly come out of his mouth.

"This, how to sell."

"Not for sale." The merchant said.

"Why don't you sell it?"

"Someone booked."

"Okay then." Chen Fang put away his hand and put it back in his robe, since someone had prescribed, it was not good for him to say anything more.

I saw that when Chen Fang was about to leave, the pitch-black creature suddenly stood up, this was a pitch-black kitten, the most eye-catching, behind it, there were nine pitch-black slender tails.

"Meow." The kitten barked sadly.

Chen Fang frowned, he naturally understood what the kitten said, and he didn't have time to wonder why the cat knew that he could understand the language of animals, he turned his head sharply, his head was raised, and his two eyes looked at the merchant with a little anger.

"What are you doing?" The merchant is not half timid, there are many supernatural people here to maintain the balance of this monster market, so he does not need to be afraid at all.

Chen Fang squinted his eyes, walked in slowly, grabbed the man's collar directly, and pulled him in front of him.

"Say, where did this cat come from?"

"Where else did it come from, it must have been caught from outside the circle! Could it be that there is a good thing that the world has a pie?! The merchant angrily wanted to break free, but he found that Chen Fang's strength was too great, but he still said aggressively.

"Meow." The nine-tailed black cat continued to bark.

The expression on Chen Fang's face became colder and colder, and he was not worried that this cat would lie to him at all, because the black power in his body told him that this cat was from the Netherworld.

"The whole family that killed it was just to let it grow up in sorrow, and then let the nine-tailed black cat clan grow a nine-tailed black cat that is rare for thousands of years because of hatred again, right?" Chen Fang squinted his eyes and asked in a low voice.

"You...... How do you know ......" The merchant showed a frightened expression, and he had long lost his previous momentum.

"Hands down, violence is not allowed here." A man in a red suit stood not far away, with two lines of words printed on his chest, Monster Market Enforcer.

From a distance, his clothes were very similar to the groom's officials, and Chen Fang wanted to know who designed this costume.
