Chapter 613

Ural City was one of the seven major cities in the entire Sand World.

When Gu Ding was teleported over, he had changed his appearance.

He was three and a half meters tall, with an extremely strong body, a face full of stubble, and a scar that was nearly five centimeters long deliberately left on his left cheek. He looked extremely fierce.

Gu Ding had deliberately disguised himself this way because Neptune said that his previous appearance looked too honest. Moreover, Gu Ding liked to laugh. When he smiled, he gave off a simple and honest feeling that even surpassed Biggie's.

This current face was deliberately simulated by Neptune. Even when his face was expressionless, it gave off a feeling of authority without being angry. Once he smiled, it would make people panic.

The reason he chose this face was because the more people he interacted with, the higher the chances of Gu Ding's identity being exposed. With a face like this, most strangers would stay away from Gu Ding the moment they saw him.

Moreover, his height of three and a half meters was considered one of the tallest people in this world, which was enough to make most local residents look up to him.

Gu Ding would not be able to make any friends for a long time to come, as the people on Cerule would say, with his face and height.

As Neptune expected, when he walked on the street, even the roadside vendors did not dare to talk to him.

After finding a hotel to stay in, Gu Ding began to check the items he had obtained from the bottom of the Abyssal Blood Pool.

In addition to a large number of Red Blood Crystals and Purple Blood Crystals, there were a large number of weapons, armor, and other items in the storage equipment.

Neptune had long categorized the items. The first category was Purple Blood Crystals and Red Blood Crystals, the second category was storage equipment worth tens of thousands of yuan, the third category was equipment such as weapons and armor, the fourth category was various ores, the fifth category was various medicinal herbs, and the last category was miscellaneous items, including some unidentifiable items.

"You have to sell all the items in the second and third categories. You can sell most of the items in the fourth, fifth, and sixth categories because they are not very useful to you," Neptune explained his plan after a series of introductions.

"I don't think the auction house can handle so many things, right?" Gu Ding looked at the mountains of items and shook his head with a bitter smile.

"That's why we won't sell these things in the auction house, but in the underground black market." Gu Ding was a little surprised by Neptune's answer. "First, there are too many items. No auction house would be able to digest them all. Another reason is that there are a lot of weapons and armors here. Their appearance and characteristics are very obvious. Once an acquaintance of the deceased sees them, they will be easily recognized. That's why it can't be auctioned publicly. Otherwise, it will attract unnecessary trouble. "

"Underground black market?" Gu Ding's interest was piqued. He had never been to an underground black market before. "How do I get there?"

"There's no rush. This world's underground black markets are divided into seven, located in seven main cities. We'll go there after the underground black market opens at night."

…

Late at night, under Neptune's guidance, Gu Ding found a place that looked like a tavern.

Two burly men stood at the entrance of the tavern. They were as tall as Gu Ding and had the same fierce look on their faces.

Gu Ding walked in front of the two but was blocked by them.

"Gu Ding, say the secret code: Heaven King Overpowers Earth Tiger." Neptune's voice came quietly.

Gu Ding did not hesitate. "Heaven Net Covers Earth Tiger."

"Treasure Pagoda Suppresses River Demon!" The man on the left said the secret code. Then, he took out a black robe and a dark golden mask from his Inventory and handed them to Gu Ding.

"You look like a newcomer." The man on the right looked at Gu Ding and said, "Turn right after entering the door and enter the changing room. Put on the robe and mask before entering the black market. Otherwise, we won't be responsible if someone discovers your true identity. "

Gu Ding took the two items and nodded. Then, he entered the door and walked to the right.

"This entire corridor and the changing room are all set up with restrictions. The designer must have put some thought into it." Neptune laughed mockingly.

Gu Ding entered an empty changing room, put on the robe, and put on the mask. He twisted the handle of the changing room and was about to come out when he found the entire changing room trembling and sinking downward.

"Don't panic. The black market is underground. The elevator will teleport you to the real entrance of the black market." Neptune explained.

The changing room-style elevator descended for more than ten minutes before Gu Ding felt it gradually slow down. After a while, there was a roar. Gu Ding felt the elevator finally stop descending, and the door of the changing room opened automatically. Only then did Gu Ding step out.

This so-called underground black market was a little different from what Gu Ding had imagined. He thought it would not be big, at most equivalent to a bazaar.

However, in reality, this underground black market was a huge underground city. The area of the city was not much smaller than the main city above.

Moreover, there was an endless stream of people, and all kinds of transportation could be seen. There seemed to be no restrictions.

Lights of various colors could be seen everywhere in the entire black market, illuminating the entire underground world like a bustling market at night.

Many people glanced in Gu Ding's direction when they saw another elevator descending, but quickly averted their eyes.

Gu Ding, on the other hand, walked toward the street not far away. At the same time, he secretly communicated with Neptune. "Where should I go now?"

"Follow this street for five intersections, then turn left. Walk for three intersections, then turn right for four intersections. You'll see a huge tower-shaped object." After Neptune finished speaking, he immediately continued, "Flying and running are not allowed in this underground black market. You can only walk slowly."

"There's such a strange rule?" Gu Ding muttered in a low voice.

"This rule is made to prevent people from being caught after they steal. Thieves who steal will usually run away if someone chases them after they get their things. That way, they'll be an obvious target. As for those who don't run away after stealing, they'll be caught soon. That's because there's a serial number on the mask. If they're reported by the thief, they'll be found no matter where they hide. "

Hearing this, Gu Ding had no choice but to obediently walk over. Along the way, there were all kinds of dazzling goods, but Gu Ding did not find anything he wanted.

After half an hour, he finally arrived in front of the tower that Neptune had mentioned.

It was a tall pagoda that was completely black. It seemed to have existed for a long time.

At the entrance was a large door made of black iron. The door was more than ten meters tall and gave off a heavy feeling.

There were no guards in front of the door, only two black stone statues.

The two stone statues were also more than three meters tall. They had the head of a bird and the body of a lion. A pair of wings were slightly folded on their back, and their bodies were covered with dense black scales.

Neptune recognized the two statues in front of him as lion statues. "Gu Ding, wait a minute."

Gu Ding, who was about to knock on the door, suddenly stopped in his tracks and asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"

At that moment, the two stone statues suddenly opened their eyes and came to life. Four eyes stared coldly at Gu Ding, who was not far away.

"This is what I wanted to say. Lion statues have the ability to petrify. In the past, they were used by powerhouses to guard the door. If anyone gets too close, they'll be attacked directly by the lion statues, "Neptune explained. "The two in front of us are not weak. They have the combat effectiveness of an eighth-rank True God. It's enough to show how powerful the people who live in this mansion are."

The lion statue on the left shook its wings and suddenly spoke in human language, "Human, this is not a place you should be."

"I'm only here to make a deal," Gu Ding stated his purpose of coming directly.

"Only those who are invited by the master are qualified to make a deal with the master." The lion statue was obviously an intelligent being. "If you want to enter, show me your invitation!"

"I don't have an invitation." Gu Ding shook his head. "But if your master misses this deal, he might regret it for a long time."

"Human, no matter what you say, we won't let you in. Leave this place immediately while we're still in a good mood. Otherwise, we'll have no choice but to show you no mercy! "The two lion statues moved and completely blocked the door. They glared at Gu Ding like a tiger watching its prey, ready to attack at the slightest disagreement.

"If that's the case, I can only offend you …" Gu Ding said as a huge amount of Soul Power gathered. He was ready to hypnotize the two lion statues and enter.

Unexpectedly, a man's deep voice suddenly came from inside the black tower. "Let him in!"

The two lion statues were stunned when they heard the voice, but they immediately retreated. After glaring at Gu Ding, they turned back into stone statues.

Only then did Gu Ding take large strides forward, passing through the space between the two lion eagles.

When he reached the black iron door and was about to push it open, he heard a rumbling sound and the door opened automatically.

Gu Ding only stepped in when the door was fully open. As soon as he entered the black tower, the black iron door closed automatically.

Gu Ding looked around. The interior of the black tower was much larger than he had imagined.

There was no light in the black tower, but there were burning torches hanging on the surrounding walls. Under the flickering light, the black tower's interior looked even more dark and mysterious.

"Walk straight along the pillars on both sides. That guy is in the innermost part," Neptune communicated with Gu Ding through his consciousness. Neptune communicated with Gu Ding through his consciousness. "The other party is a ninth-rank True God. Be careful."

Gu Ding's current combat effectiveness was at its peak, and his soul strength had far surpassed that of a tenth-rank True God in this world. He was not afraid of a ninth-rank True God. He just nodded slightly and walked forward.

At the end of the path, he finally saw the master of the black tower.

It was a middle-aged man who looked rather aristocratic. He wore a black tuxedo and a hat on his head. He held a dark red cane in his left hand and sat in front of a long table, slowly sipping the tea in his cup.
