The black market in the Border Undercity, the air is filled with the smell of decay, and the dark walls are covered with cracks.

In the blurred light, you can barely see the surroundings, and the eerie atmosphere will inevitably make people uneasy

, and in the darkness, eerie laughter and all kinds of whispers are intertwined.

The streets crisscross the streets and are crowded with stalls, vendors with ghostly smiles selling their wares to passers-by.

Let it be....

Forbidden magic spells, bizarre botanical herbs, bubbling unidentified potions, even slaves imprisoned in prisons...

Along the way, there are no serious products...

From time to time, there were screams in the alleys in the shadows, but the people around them did not react at all, as if they had long been accustomed to it.

Dressed in elegant autumn leaves, it is incompatible with the dark black market.

In order not to attract the attention of others, she passed by a small stall, picked up a shabby cloak and draped it over her body.

The stall owner just wanted to scold, but in the next second, a gold coin smashed straight on his head.

Thinking that he had picked up a big bargain, a lewd smile instantly distorted on his face.

Momiji put on his hood and blended into the crowd again.

She walked over to where the blonde had just been, and activated the "Afterimage of Time".

Following the afterimage of the blonde woman, he traced her whereabouts in reverse, trying to find the location of the Luminous stronghold.

But in the end, she discovered....

The blonde appeared out of thin air in the darkness of the alley with a cloud of black mist...

In this regard, Momiji couldn't help frowning and said, "I didn't expect to be so vigilant." But yes... It seems to be more convenient than walking. Looking

at the black mist in the afterimage of time, Momiji seemed to think of something again.

"Sure enough... This ability... It's the same as the ability of the "Dreador..."Dread

, a fierce beast of Arcadia.

They are massive, reaching up to 4 meters in length.

It resembles a tiger, but it stands on two feet, with a pair of large black wings on its back and a long tail in the shape of a hook and a claw.

Compared to other fierce beasts, they don't have a powerful body. However, it can spit out an extremely strong poisonous mist, and has the ability to atomize the body.

That's right... That ability... It's exactly like this blonde woman.

When I listened to their descriptions before, Momiji probably guessed it, and after seeing it with her own eyes, it also confirmed her idea.

Thinking of this, Momiji combined all the information and intelligence before... Her mind began to racing...

First of all, the giant magic scythe that appeared in Ling Xiang and Nayumi's actual combat class before.

Then there was the mutant human who fought against Liulijia at the Sword Dance Festival.

And yesterday... Iori who was attacked by the Luminescence.

"They... Is it researching some kind of power that can combine biological abilities?... And Iori... It's for experiments?..."

In order to figure it all out, Momiji turned his head and walked towards the tavern just now.

————————

taverns on the black market.

The blonde pushed open the door to the tavern and silently walked towards the front desk.

She gestured to the strong man at the front desk.

Seeing this, the strong man nodded silently, and then pushed open the secret door behind him, making way for her.

After that secret door... It is a deep spiral staircase.

Going down, the blonde pushed open the door to the room on the ground floor.

"Roar~ You're finally here. Seeing

the blonde woman walk in, the god-descendant man sitting in the luxurious chair said excitedly.

He was dressed in a black robe and wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses.

The slender fingers were gently fiddling with the teacup, the movement was graceful and majestic.

Although it looks harmless to humans and animals, the temperament it exudes makes people feel an inexplicable coercion.

The identity of the man... It is the people behind the scenes of this black market.

"I've put things here. The

blonde threw the box on the table in front of the man and was about to turn away.

Seeing this, the man smiled and said, "Oh, as for being in such a hurry." Why don't you sit down and talk?"

"Something?

""Hehe... Don't you know, this thing has a good response in the market. I've made a lot of money. With that

, the man opened the box on the table and pulled out a black syringe.

The blonde glanced at him disdainfully, "So what? What do you want to say?"

"It's just pure curiosity, I'd love to know where this thing came from." Can you give us a little bit of a quick reveal?"

In response, the man sneered: "Heh, you guys are really a bunch of weird guys, what are the plans to distribute such things to the outside world for free?"

In the face of the man's questioning, the blonde woman just remained silent.

"It's really indifferent, let me guess~ It must have something to do with that group of humans, right?"

"Hmph... Farewell. With these

words, the blonde woman directly turned into a black mist and disappeared through the cracks in the room.

It seems that he doesn't want to waste his tongue with him.

The man sighed when he saw this, and he was about to continue his work when the door was pushed open again.

"Ahh

Momiji greeted softly, and then walked in step by step with graceful steps.

She glanced around the room with a hint of regret on her face.

"Looks like it's a step too slow.

"Isn't this the eldest lady of this flower family, and what are you doing here today?"

Judging from the conversation, the two seem to have known each other for a long time.

"I suppose there must have been a blonde lady here just now, right

?" "Haha, what are you talking about?"

Momiji tilted his head with a smile: "Ahhh~ I'm in a hurry now, I hope you don't let me be rough."

Seeing Momiji's expression of hiding a knife in his smile, the man seemed calm, but in fact, he panicked in his heart.

"The eldest lady of this flower family~ You also know that those who do our business will never reveal the information of the trading partner. But-

" The man pretended to be calm and pushed his glasses, and then smiled: "For the sake of your and my friendship for many years, let's make an exception once, right?"

Even if he is in charge of the entire black market, he can only bow his head in front of Momiji...

However, as soon as he finished speaking, he felt a chill coming from his neck.

I saw Momiji exhibit the spider feet behind him, and put his sharp tip around the man's neck.

It's all in milliseconds.

"Make an exception?... You know that I've been investigating Yeming's whereabouts for the past few years. And you've been making deals with each other behind your back. If I hadn't seen that man walk in today, I don't know how long I'd have been kept in the dark.

"After all, it was discovered... But you can't blame me, after all, working with them is pretty quick to get money.

Cold sweat slid down the man's cheeks, and he subconsciously swallowed his saliva, trying his best to keep himself calm.

"Tell me the location.

Momiji also put down the disguise on his face at this time, and his gloomy expression was full of hatred.

"Good, good... Calm down, calm down, will you take it away first?"

"Now, immediately, tell me. "

Just... Right in the bustling area of Uptown... But I don't really know exactly where... That's all I know... Really..."

After getting the information, Momiji retracted the spider feet behind him.

She immediately exhibited a spatial rift behind her, and stepped into it without looking back.

After a few moments, the room was quiet again.

"Looks like... Something big is going to happen lately... But then again—"

The man breathed a sigh of relief, and leaned back in his chair.

"These two... Don't you like to take the stairs so much?...
