—------------------—
The sky seed to be covered by a layer of gray gauze, and the drizzle fell slowly like cow hair.
A horse-drawn carriage was moving slowly on the bumpy muddy road.
Inside the car, a ragged teenager huddled in a corner, with shackles on his feet and signs of beating on his body. What was particularly eye-catching were the two pitch-black, fang-filled, footless dragons growing from beneath his shoulder blades.
But at this mont, they are also dying like their masters.
"Boss, are we losing money by spending two thousand gold soul coins to buy this kid?"
Outside the carriage, the young man driving the car looked at the older middle-aged man beside him with so confusion.
"What do you know? When the martial spirit awakens, the body is affected by the martial spirit and people who mutate have always been hot commodities in the market." said the middle-aged man.
"It's just that the people in this small place don't know how to do it. Otherwise, if you are short of 20,000 gold soul coins, don't even think about it!"
Hearing this, the young man driving the car looked at the unconscious boy in the car with so surprise, "So valuable?"
"Of course. I've seen one once before at an auction in Xingluo Imperial City. It was a leopard girl. Do you know how much the auction price was at that ti?" said the middle-aged man.
The young man thought for a mont and asked, "30,000 gold soul coins?"
"A full 150,000 gold soul coins!" the middle-aged man said heavily.
"Hundred and Fifty thousand?!" the young man couldn't help but shout out.
"Pull the cart!" the middle-aged man shouted.
The young man suddenly ca to his senses and quickly pulled the reins, thus avoiding hitting the rocks on the side of the road.
"Look at you, such a loser." The middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief, but his ruddy face showed that he was not so calm about the matter.
This broken road is difficult to drive on. If the car overturns, things will be troubleso afterwards.
The young man swallowed nervously, "Why is it so valuable?"
"You don't understand this." The middle-aged man stroked his beard.
"What haven't those rich nobles tried? When they get tired of playing with the young and beautiful, they'll start chasing after exciting things."
"Cat woman, Leopard woman, Fox woman, these things always attract scramble every ti they appear."
"They are all hot commodities. There is no worry about not being able to sell them at a high price. Not to ntion 150,000, even 200,000 is not unheard of."
"But..." The young man looked back at the boy in the carriage.
"This guy is a boy. Although he looks pretty good, but..."
"What's wrong with the man?" The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows, looking at him as if he had never seen the world.
"Not to ntion that there are many n who like this, even among the ladies, there are many who have this kind of training fetish."
"Although this guy is a man, his appearance shows that he is a top-quality product. He won't be cheaper than those beauties."
"I see." The young man nodded.
The middle-aged man fiddled with the jade ring on his hand. "It's just that the people in this small place don't know the value of the jade, and the young deacon is timid. Otherwise, I can't afford such a piece of jade."
"That's because you know what's good, Boss."
"Okay, let's hurry up, we're still a long way from Tiandou City."
"…"
As if disturbed by the conversation between the two, Xuan Ming opened his eyes in a daze.
He felt severe pain all over his body, but he didn't even have the strength to shout out.
His na is Xuan Ming. He was an unlucky guy in his previous life. He started his life in college, went through a growth plan in an orphanage, and finally died of leukemia when he was less than 20 years old.
His short life was like a broken table covered with tableware and cups. He was an orphan who grew up in a poor mountain village. His mother died of illness when he was five years old, and his father was drafted into military service before he was born and never ca back.
A few days ago, he welcod the awakening of his sixth-year martial soul.
He thought that could be a turning point in his life, and his unfortunate life would finally take a turn for the better.
But he didn't expect that he was only half right.
This was indeed a turning point in his life, because his life was much darker afterwards.
When he was awakening his martial soul, his body mutated and two footless black dragons grew out from under his shoulder blades.
His mother's martial soul is a black snake, so this mutated black dragon should be his martial soul. However, due to the mutation of his body, he cannot retract the two dragons at all, just like newly grown limbs.
What's more embarrassing is that the two dragons are like a cat's tail, which is not completely under his control, and will even attack him occasionally.
It's okay that his martial soul and body have mutated, but he hasn't awakened his soul power yet and is just an ordinary person.
Before he could accept that he would have to live the rest of his life as an ordinary monster, the Spirit Hall deacon who awakened his spirit for him ca back and said that the big shot of the Spirit Hall seed interested in his mutation and wanted to take him back to have a look.
Having suffered so much bad luck, he didn't believe such things, and the patrol deacon looked at him strangely.
Sure enough, he was sold.
He was sold to the two human traffickers by the Spirit Hall patrol deacon at the high price of two thousand gold soul coins.
However, judging from what he said just now, his value seems to be at least hundreds of thousands of gold soul coins, which is far beyond the reach of a re two thousand gold soul coins.
The cowardly patrol deacon was tricked.
He didn't know whether he should be happy or not.
Hundreds of thousands of gold soul coins, what kind of huge sum of money is this? He couldn't imagine it, because he had never touched a gold soul coin in his life, and he had never even seen one.
He never thought he was worth so much money.
However, he was going to be sold and beco a slave.
In Douluo Continent, people who have lost their land and hotown due to natural disasters or man-made calamities, such as drought, floods, war, or fights between soul masters, and have to wander around are considered refugees, and refugees have no human rights.
The lucky refugees would be captured and made slaves.
Those who are unlucky will starve to death or freeze to death.
Of course, unlucky civilians would, in so cases, beco slaves, like him.
"A turning point in life..." Xuan Ming gritted his teeth and managed to sit up.
Worth hundreds of thousands of gold soul coins, is this considered a disguised way of reaching the pinnacle of life?
"Boy, be quiet and stop thinking about running away." The middle-aged man who heard the noise turned around and took a look into the car.
Xuan Ming didn't reply, but hugged his legs and curled up in the corner.
He didn't want to be a slave, so yesterday, he chose to escape while the two guys were eating.
The result was obvious. Not only did he fail to escape, he was severely beaten and given a pair of shackles that were heavier than his own.
Fortunately, these two people still hoped that he would beco rich and powerful, so they did not kill him.
It hurts, but there are no broken bones.
"If you sell , how are you going to divide the money?"
Xuan Ming's weak words ca out from the car.
Hearing this, the two people who were chatting just a second ago suddenly fell silent.
How to divide it? Hundreds of thousands of gold soul coins, even if the auction house's commission is deducted, there are still at least 100,000 gold soul coins.
One hundred thousand gold soul coins! This kind of windfall is enough for people like them to have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives!
