Chapter 204: Chapter 203: The Human-Fox Girl

Human slaves? The tens of thousands of Monster bidders couldn't help but feel puzzled. How could human slaves be eligible to be auctioned at a grand auction? Most races have human slaves. But what use are these human slaves?"Please don't be anxious, listen to my explanation and you'll understand. These human slaves are actually of vassal origin. It's just that the Demon God Transformation Ability they woke up with is very weak, only first to second order, and they can't continue to grow. Hence, they were not identified as vassals. Normally, such beings should be killed, as they are not worthy of living. However, they were preserved because of some unique traits. Most importantly, these eighteen slaves all come from the bloodline of our Fox Tribe, and they're all female."

While speaking, she grabbed the black cloth with her right hand and gently shook it, and the black cloth immediately slipped, revealing a huge metal cage inside.

Inside the cage, more than a dozen human girls curled up, huddling together. Terror was written all over their faces, with delicate features and slender figures. They wore very little clothing, revealing their fair skin. The moment the black cloth was lifted, they almost simultaneously yelled out in fear, trembling together.

Witnessing this scene, Tang San's fists clenched almost instantly, as humans were being auctioned off like goods. There was no doubt about the fate of these human girls if they fell into the hands of the Monsters.

Zhang Haoxuan's voice transmission reached his ears at that moment, "Don't be impulsive."

Yuan Yinxin of the Red Fox Tribe said with a smile, "I believe everyone now understands their value. Although they are not of our tribe, they possess our tribe's meager bloodline. The bloodline of our tribe makes them even more beautiful, all of them around sixteen years of age, during the most wonderful period of a human girl's life. Buying them to serve as slaves or concubines is a very good choice. I am sure the males are quite tempted." Sёarᴄh the Nôvelƒire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

The eighteen human female slaves with the bloodline of the Red Fox Tribe instantly made the entire auction house's atmosphere grow feverish. While there wasn't the loud clamor as before, there was a evident buzz of discussion.

These girls were all pretty-faced and, in terms of appearance and figure, extremely outstanding. Plus, the weak bloodline of the Red Fox made it certain that they would grow even more beautiful. Such humans were referred to as premium female slaves by the Monster Race. Being unable to hold the status of a vassal and yet still able to be taken home as prized possessions, many from the Monster Race liked to collect such slaves, which was why these mixed-blood female slaves were brought to the auction.

"I'm sure everyone is eager now, so let's officially start the auction. Everyone, please watch the scale on the energy column to decide your bid amounts."

As she spoke, Yuan Yinxin walked next to the cart, at the front of which was a round-looking ore.

"The auction begins!"

With her command, the ore immediately emitted a soft glow, and a gentle beam of light shot up to the sky. The beam emitted a strange brilliance, marked with very distinct scales.

Before arriving, Zhang Haoxuan had informed Tang San that the official currency used in the grand auction house was measured in Elemental Coins. Depending on the auction item, the units of the bid scale light column inside also varied.

At this moment, the scales on the rising ethereal beam of light were nearly every ten per meter, with each scale representing one Elemental Coin. With each press of their bidding button, the scale would increase by one. In the end, the highest bidder would win at the price reached on the scale.

As soon as the ethereal light column appeared, the scales on it rapidly started to climb upwards. In an instant, it surpassed fifteen scales, meaning fifteen Elemental Coins.

One must know, if one were to buy an ordinary human slave, a single Elemental Coin could purchase hundreds. Yet here, for only eighteen Red Fox Tribe human slaves, the price skyrocketed to fifteen Elemental Coins.

Such Red Fox Tribe slave girls typically went for one Elemental Coin each, which speaks to the strength of the Fox lineage. For those who cannot marry a true Fox Tribe girl, owning such a Fox Tribe slave is the next best option. Hence, such Fox Tribe slaves have always been in high demand in the market. The Monster Race's grand nobles disdain them, but for the middle class, they are most desirable.

"Only fifteen Elemental Coins! Ladies and gentlemen, please be aware that these eighteen slaves have been carefully selected from hundreds of candidates as the finest, and every one of them is a virgin, still retaining their pure Yin energy. This is highly nourishing."

As soon as these words were uttered, the bid quickly exceeded twenty Elemental Coins, and it still continued to climb upwards.

Tang San turned his head to glance at Zhang Haoxuan.

Zhang Haoxuan gave him an inquiring look.

Suppressing his lips, Tang San transmitted his voice, "Perhaps, I have a way to enhance their bloodline power, to endow them with the capabilities of a vassal. The bloodline of the Red Fox Tribe is on the spiritual level, and I am more adept in that area. Moreover, haven't you told me before that the Heavenly Fox lineage reigns supreme over all other fox bloodlines and can stimulate and amplify all fox bloodlines?"

Zhang Haoxuan sighed softly, transmitting back, "I have finally come to trust you completely."

"Hm?" Tang San looked at him puzzledly, "Because I'm foolish?"

Zhang Haoxuan shook his head, "No, because of your kindness and your sense of belonging to the human race."

Tang San transmitted, "You have forgotten, I am purely human, I don't have any Monster blood in me."

Zhang Haoxuan was taken aback for a moment before nodding vigorously, "Do what you want to do."

Tang San reached into the metal sleeve in front of him and pressed a button. By now, the bidding price had been raised to thirty Elemental Coins. Indeed, thirty coins, which was twice the market value.

At this price, the pace of the bids also suddenly paused. It took several seconds before it increased by one more increment.

Without any hesitation, Tang San pressed again, and this time he pressed five times in a row, making it thirty-five!

Purchasing a few human slaves for thirty-five Elemental Coins was indeed an exorbitant price.

"Thirty-five for the first time, thirty-five for the second time, very well, congratulations to the bidder. Please pay and collect your items with your token after the auction ends. Thirty-five, sold!"

Yuan Yinxin clapped his hands together, confirming the finalization of the trade.

Tang San's gaze fell on the Red Fox girl, a flicker of contemplation in his eyes, as if he was considering something.

Eighteen Red Fox slaves were thus auctioned off by him, at the cost of thirty-five Elemental Coins.

Being the first item, the price was not too steep, but it was still a good start to sell for more than double the market value. The original estimate was only twenty-five Elemental Coins after all. This was merely the opening act of today's auction, mainly to stir up the ardor of the male Monsters.

The auction continued, the second item was a custom-made armor slot from a Grandmaster Blacksmith of Jiali City. The Grandmaster Blacksmith could only produce ten sets of armor per year, which could be made for any race with their own materials. Waiting for regular forging would take at least ten years, but this slot could move one to the very front of the queue.

"Monsters use weapons as well? That's quite rare!" Tang San whispered to Zhang Haoxuan.

Zhang Haoxuan nodded, "Monsters do use weapons. But ordinary weapons are of little use to them, as the body of a Monster adept in combat is its best weapon. Weapons and equipment made by such Grandmaster Blacksmiths are crafted with very high-grade metals, possessing great power, useful for augmenting a Monster's strength. Typically, they come with one to three elemental enhancements."
