Chapter 1759
"You dare to surround this place? Are you looking for death?"
The Demon Ape's blood-red eyes flashed with murderous intent.
The others also stared coldly at the natives. Comparatively speaking, the puppet, who had no combat power, was ignored.
These natives who came with ill intentions looked increasingly cold. They looked like they would attack at the slightest disagreement.
However, there were only 05 of them, and they did not have dragon weapons or dragon armor. Zi Chen's group was not afraid at all.
These people did not say a word, but their oppressive aura made the atmosphere very tense.
The puppet, who was caught by Man Shi, said proudly, "They are Ji Jin's guards. They have the authority to enforce the law. I don't believe you dare to attack them."
Zi Chen replied coldly, "This is my residence. Whoever dares to come in will be killed without mercy."
As he spoke, Zi Chen held a ball of Earthfire in his hand.
The puppet's expression changed. "You are an intruder. This is not your residence."
Zi Chen sneered. "Then let them come in and try."
As he spoke, he threw the ball of fire in his hand. The puppet's expression changed. Light flashed around its body. There was no surge of energy, but it broke free from Man Shi's hand and appeared outside the door.
Its expression was extremely unsightly. It had never thought that Zi Chen would dare to attack. Along the way, it was very familiar with Zi Chen's battle prowess. If they attacked, these people wouldn't be enough for them to kill.
Moreover, its purpose was not to kill Zi Chen. The puppet said to Zi Chen, "I will not make things difficult for you. Just hand over the Dimensional Beast Cores."
Thinking about those Space Behemoths again, Marionette's heart was filled with uncontrollable rage.
The authority could not be activated at will. It did not only allow Zi Chen and the others to do so because it was afraid of the Earthfire, but also because it had other plans.
It first gave away two dragon-shaped weapons for free. Then, according to the price of the two Dimensional Beasts, it began to exchange for dragon armor for everyone.
Clearly, the puppet was at a disadvantage at this price, and it was a huge loss. However, it did not care because these things would eventually belong to it.
To be more precise, these things would eventually belong to Ji Jin.
However, who would have thought that after arriving here, Ji Jin and the other experts did not kill these intruders as it wanted?
It had already suffered a great loss. When it found that the Dimensional Beasts had lost their cores, it immediately brought people over to demand an explanation.
This kind of exchange was not easy. From the beginning to the end, in tens of thousands of years of sailing, the nine dragon boats had only encountered such a situation once.
The dragon boats had their own rules. No one could change that.
In the beginning, the dragon boats had no puppets. The natives who accepted the summoning would naturally come to Ji Jin after boarding the boats.
However, ever since the world was destroyed by the invaders, the dragon boat's summoning could only summon invaders. Hence, the puppets appeared. Their main purpose was to kill the invaders. As for the weapons used to exchange for items on the dragon boat, the puppets had no right to use them.
As for why it was able to gain access, the puppet guessed that it was likely because of the lightning dragon. The lightning dragon was the most powerful and majestic true dragon it had ever seen.
Along the way, it did not hesitate to exchange more dragon armor for Zi Chen because it wanted to strengthen Ji Jin's power.
The puppet stated its intention, but it only received a "dream on" in return. It was impossible for it to obtain the Dimensional Beast Cores.
"Zi Chen, don't be too proud. You can't stay in Ji Jin for free. You can only stay here for a month. After a month, if you want to stay here again, you have to pay the Dimensional Beast Cores."
The puppet did not dare to enter. After shouting at the door, it left unwillingly. The guards also left.
"Pfft, I have to pay the Dimensional Beast Cores to stay here. I don't want to stay here," Man Shi said unhappily.
"It's fine if you don't stay here. You can stay outside Ji Jin City."
A voice was heard. Another person walked in.
This person was only at the late ninth level. After entering, he cupped his hands at everyone with a kind smile.
"Let me introduce myself. I'm Ju Tai, the person in charge of miscellaneous matters in Ji Jin City. I'm sure everyone has a lot of doubts. I'm here to answer your questions."
Ju Tai appeared to be very polite. He did not have the hostility that a native should have when meeting an intruder.
Zi Chen invited him into the main hall and gestured for him to sit.
There was everything in the room. Dong Qing poured tea for Ju Tai, which made him feel flattered.
Because of the law of the cultivation world, there were not many women who could become experts, and there were even fewer beautiful women who could become experts.
After thanking him, Ju Tai looked at Zi Chen and asked, "What do you want to know?"
Zi Chen had a lot of doubts now, but he did not know where to start. He could only say, "Tell us everything you know."
The Devil Ape and the others did not sit. Instead, they stood behind Zi Chen and looked at Ju Tai.
Ju Tai was a little stunned. Clearly, this was the first time he had received such an answer. Usually, the first thing everyone asked was why they were summoned.
After a pause, Ju Tai said, "Then let's start with the Dimensional Beast Cores. It's the most valuable thing on a Dimensional Beast. It's also the unified currency in Ji Jin City."
"Currency." Everyone was surprised.
"That's right. For example, this room is still free now. But one month later, if you want to stay here, you have to pay three Dimensional Beast Cores. You have to pay three Dimensional Beast Cores every month. The fee is based on the size of the room."
"Other than accommodation, the Dimensional Beast Cores can also be used to exchange for other things. You can exchange them privately or in Ji Jin City's exchange hall."
Ju Tai glanced at the crowd and said, "For example, you guys can exchange for some dragon origins used for cultivation. Of course, the greatest use of the Space Beast Core is to help us peak ninth level experts comprehend the power of leaving the world. As for whether you invaders can comprehend it or not, I'm not sure."
Zi Chen nodded and said, "If that's the case, we need a lot of Dimensional Beast Cores. There should be a special place to hunt Dimensional Beasts, right?"
Ju Tai said, "There is one on your way here, but the Dimensional Beasts there are very dangerous and the distance is too far. Under normal circumstances, it's not recommended for everyone to go there. Besides that, behind Ji Jin City, which is the depths of the world, there are many Dimensional Beasts there. Many experts form teams to hunt there. Oh right, if you're in a hurry, you can rent a Dragon Bone Ship. That's faster. The cost is one Dimensional Beast Core."
"Isn't this the depths of the world?"
"You can say that. But this space was forcibly opened up. It's a safe space. Strictly speaking, it's just a safe station in the depths of the world."
Ju Tai explained in detail. Ji Jin City was specifically used to receive the summoned natives.
According to Ju Tai, not all of the Battlefields of Despair had fallen. There were some places that were still intact. The natives of these places only knew about the invaders from ancient books.
Those places were very similar to the Giant Dragon World. They had been forcibly isolated.
"Those who have been summoned, stay here," said Ye Zichen.
"Yes."
"Then what about the so-called opportunity?"
"The opportunity lies in the depths of the real world. It's said that there's a gate there. Currently, no one has found the key to the gate."
"Is Ji Jin City considered a force?"
Ju Tai thought about it and said, "It should be. Those who have comprehended the power of the outside world are called Dragon Warriors. Dragon Warriors are divided into nine levels. The City Lords are at the ninth level, the Dragon Envoys are at the seventh or eighth level, the Commanders are at the fifth or sixth level, the Vice Commanders are at the third or fourth level, and the Senior Captains are at the first or second level."
Ju Tai looked at them and kindly reminded them, "You are the only invaders that I have ever heard of and seen who have made it here alive. To be able to pass through so many trials and come here, I believe that each of you is very strong. However, what I want to say is that something has happened in the depths of the world, and the door has not been opened for tens of thousands of years. During these tens of thousands of years, powerful natives have been constantly summoned here, and many of them have become Dragon Warriors. Although there is only one city lord, there are still some Level 4 Dragon Warriors."
Their expressions became more serious. Although they had never seen the so-called nine-level power of the outside world, nine was already the limit. One more step and they would be able to become a real Realm Lord.
An existence that was second only to a Realm Lord was obviously very strong.
Zi Chen and the others nodded solemnly. They decided to keep a low profile.
"Why haven't we seen anyone who has comprehended the power of the outside world in the Battlefield of Despair?" Zi Chen asked the question in his heart.
Ju Tai's answer was much simpler. It was because that world had been destroyed by the invaders. They couldn't sense the power of the outside world.
Not only did that world suppress the invaders, but it also had some restrictions on the natives. Only by coming here could these restrictions be greatly alleviated. But without the Spatial Beasts, it would be very difficult to comprehend the power of the outside world.
Ju Tai continued, "It's said that after the gate in the depths of the world opens, the power of the outside world will be scattered again. At that time, everyone will be able to break through and become a Realm Lord."
Zi Chen clicked his tongue when he heard this. Who knew how many experts had gathered in Ji Jin City over the past tens of thousands of years? Once all of them became Realm Lords, it would be a devastating disaster for the entire Battlefield of Despair.
At that time, no matter where the invaders were, if they didn't leave, only death would await them.
As if he had guessed Zi Chen's thoughts, Ju Tai smiled and said, "Actually, you don't have to worry. Even if they can break through, they might not choose to return."
"Why?"
"I heard from some of the older generation experts here that after the gate in the depths of the world opens, not only will the power of the outside world scatter, but another world will also open. That's a high-level world. I think those experts will definitely choose to enter that world. Of course, all of this is just a legend. Because these people in Ji Jin City have never seen the gate in the depths of the world open."
"For the sake of another world, they won't even take revenge." Man Shi was puzzled.
"The original world's laws were severely damaged, but some of them still exist. They even have great power. They are worried that if they rashly go there, they will be killed by the laws. Oh right, there's another rumor. It's said that the secret to becoming a Realm Lord lies in the depths of the world. Once one becomes a Realm Lord, there's hope to repair the broken laws of the world and restore the world to its original state."
"So this is true." Zi Chen and the others' expressions changed slightly. Their hearts were shaken.
