Chapter 166 Rumors
The next day.
It's still dark.
Wu Ming faintly heard the sound of opening the door.
He opened his eyes suddenly, thinking that a thief was coming.
After his mental energy was swept away and he sensed the arrival, the expression on his face relaxed.
After Hu Xue opened the door, she held the breakfast ingredients she just bought in one hand and gently closed the door with the other.
The whole process makes almost no sound.
Just as she tiptoed toward the kitchen, she suddenly found someone standing in front of her.
Hu Xue was startled and almost shouted on the spot.
Fortunately, through the familiar figure, I was able to determine the identity of the other party.
"You, are you awake?"
she whispered.
"Come so early?"
Wu Ming raised his eyebrows slightly and said in surprise.
He remembered that in the previous agreement, except that he was not at home, the other party did not need to make breakfast.
"Well, I thought you were usually busy, so I just came earlier. Anyway, I have nothing to do."
Hu Xue raised her head, glanced at Wu Ming, and explained.
In fact, there is another reason in her mind, that is, she is worried about the other party's craftsmanship before making a "diarrhea set meal".
Of course, Hu Xue would not say this.
"I'm determined."
Wu Ming nodded and said in a soothing tone.
"This is what I should do."
Hu Xue straightened her back slightly.
In her opinion, since the other party offered such a high salary, she should be worthy of this treatment.
Next, Hu Xue was busy preparing breakfast in the kitchen.
It seemed that she was more motivated than usual because of the praise.
Wu Ming stood in front of the window.
At this time, dawn dispelled the darkness, and the sun slowly rose from the east, casting a golden glow.
He was bathed in the morning light, his eyes as bright as stars.
A trace of "black inflammation" that is difficult to see with the naked eye submerged into the pupils.
Until there was a slight noise in Xia Tian and Bao'er's room, Wu Ming moved and broke away from that strange state.
He sighed secretly, passing by the black flames that had just absorbed the sunlight.
Facts have proved that there are indeed very few.
After eating the exquisite breakfast prepared by Hu Xue, Wu Ming greeted the three of them, opened the door and walked out of the house.
After finding a cheap hotel, changing my appearance and clothes.
His purpose was clear and he went straight to the "Worry-Free Pawn Shop".
Due to the considerable commotion in the Sunset Mountains, he now acts more cautiously.
In the room, shopkeeper Qian did not recognize Wu Ming, who had been replaced by a man with a sallow complexion.
"Your Excellency's face is a little strange. Could it be that you just came to Chaos City?"
He opened his shrewd old eyes and looked up and down at the man in front of him.
"Why, I never heard that you have to identify yourself when you come here."
Wu Ming said in a stiff tone.
He deliberately made the sound very different from before.
"Haha, I'm so old and rude. I don't know if I want to buy something or pawn something when you come here."
Shopkeeper Qian apologized, but his words were still quite old-fashioned.
"shopping."
Wu Ming spoke.
"Then your Excellency has come to the right place. I'm not boasting. My pawn shop has everything you need, but I think most people can still be satisfied."
Shopkeeper Qian’s chest thumped loudly.
"Do you have the black flame crystal?"
Wu Ming raised his eyelids.
"Uh, no."
Shopkeeper Qian looked a little embarrassed, and the next second he changed his voice:
"But, I know where this thing is."
After saying that, he rubbed his thumb and index finger and made a gesture that Wu Ming hated deeply.
"explain."
Wu Mingqiang resisted the urge to slap the other person, took out a wad of cash and threw it away.
"Haha, in two days, there will be a large-scale auction at 'Dragon Auction House', and the Black Flame Crystal is on the auction list."
Shopkeeper Qian stroked his beard gently, satisfied that the other party was on the right track.
Wu Ming nodded, said goodbye and left.
When he left, the money shopkeeper was the only one left in the room.
He frowned, with some doubts in his eyes.
After leaving the pawn shop, Wu Ming considered that he would just go out anyway, so he was not in a hurry to go back.
With Hu Xue at home, he felt more at ease.
Looking back, I have been in Chaos City for a long time, and I only moved within a limited range.
Wu Ming started from the street below and started his wandering journey.
As buildings passed by, his first impression was "big".
Throughout the morning, Wu Ming didn't even walk through one-tenth of the Western District.
It can be seen that Chaos City occupies a vast area.
After going home for lunch at noon, he closed the door, took "blood from the gourd" and continued to train his body.
It's an extremely tedious process, and it doesn't feel all that great.
But Wu Ming never complained.
Because he knows that in this era, only strength is everything.
Just when Wu Ming had nothing in mind and was focusing on cultivation, there was already an undercurrent surging in the outside world.
In a bar.
Several adventurers were drinking low-quality blended liquor, their faces flushed, and they were bragging about something.
"Have you heard that just a few days ago, several big families suffered a setback in the Sunset Mountains?"
A big man with a thick beard and a thick chest opened his arms and said mysteriously.
"Oh, really? Say it, say it!"
The others obviously hadn't heard it and were immediately attracted to it.
Not only them, but everyone around who was drinking couldn't help but turn their eyes to him.
Seeing everyone watching at the same time, the big man chuckled, took a sip of wine, and said proudly:
"About three or four days ago, a team discovered the body of a lord-level monster in the Sunset Mountains..."
"Lord level!"
Before he could finish speaking, exclamations sounded one after another.
His eyes were full of horror.
The big man didn't feel dissatisfied at all after being interrupted.
Because he had known this result for a long time, he just heard him continue:
"Yes, it is said that the Murong family, the Li family, and the Shen family all sent their best disciples for this purpose. Guess what happened?"
The big man showed an inexplicable smile.
"What's wrong?"
someone blurted out.
"Hehe, the last body was actually snatched away by a guy who appeared out of nowhere. I heard he was the leader of a new force, something called... Dawn, yes, Dawn!"
The big man looked around and seemed to think everyone was not surprised enough, so he dropped a "bombshell":
"But these are not the most important things. Some people saw the appearance of the 'bear master' who 'dominated the world' in the end, but they still escaped."
