Chapter 1435: Chapter 1435
Under the guidance of the staff, Lin Chen and the others checked into the island hotel.
Just after they put their luggage down, there was a knock at the door.
Opening the door, it turned out to be Li Mengli.
"Beautiful lady, knocking at my door so late, could it be...?"
Lin Chen looked at Li Mengli's alluring figure and smiled broadly.
"What are you thinking? I heard the ghost market of Devil Island is nice, accompany me for a stroll!" Li Mengli said, her face blushing.
"Shopping, huh? Not interested!" Lin Chen listened with a disappointed face.
Accompanying a woman shopping is the most tiring task. Compared to that, he'd rather have a comfortable sleep.
"So you're not planning to accompany, right? By the way, Anna did tell me to keep an eye on you, to not let you flirt or mess around," Li Mengli slightly narrowed her eyes.
"Oh, come on!" Lin Chen saw Li Mengli's mischievous smile, his expression slightly changing.
After all, Alice and he had been entangled for quite some time, if this gets reported, those girls back in the Capital City definitely wouldn't let him off easily.
Lin Chen awkwardly smiled, "Alright, alright, it's just a ghost market, I'll accompany you, isn't that fine?"
Only then did Li Mengli's anger turn into joy, as she took Lin Chen by the arm and walked outside.
Just as they reached the door, Lin Chen felt he bumped into something soft, and upon a closer look, it was Alice.
Alice pouted at the intimate scene of the two.
"Hey, Lin Chen, you're so biased, two of you sneaking out without me." Alice said, displeased.
"Sneaking!" Lin Chen felt speechless hearing the word.
"We are just strolling through the ghost market." Lin Chen explained helplessly.
"I want to go too!" Alice heard and rejoiced, disregarding the angry look from Li Mengli, she took Lin Chen's arm.
Devil Island's ghost market is very famous in the supernatural world, but most of the items sold are antiques acquired by grave robbing, many are weapons of ancient warriors.
However, most of these items are modern replicas, of course, there are also very few genuine pieces mixed in.
But to pick out the real ones from these replicas requires excellent judgment and luck.
Along the way, Lin Chen was accompanied by two beauties, one from the East and one from the West, drawing a lot of envy from others.
"Who is this kid, lucky enough to enjoy both East and West."
"Tsk, this guy is only showing off for tonight, such arrogance will likely turn him into a corpse in Death Island tomorrow."
Lin Chen ignored the surrounding discussions, and the three arrived at the ghost market, a narrow street lined with stalls on both sides.
Due to the arrival of these competitors, the street seemed even more crowded.
Following the crowd, they walked into the bustling ghost market.
A clamor of vendors immediately rose from both sides of the street.
"Passersby don't miss this, it's the treasured sword of Qin Emperor, capable of slicing gold and silver, don't miss it."
Lin Chen glanced at the sword, even though it was rusty, it had no spiritual energy at all, clearly a fake.
As for those spiritual treasures, most are ordinary herbs passed off as valuable.
Throughout their walk, Lin Chen did not see anything worth his attention, instead, there was an abundance of counterfeit goods.
Yet despite this, people engaged eagerly, hoping to strike it big.
Li Mengli said that someone once found a top-tier spiritual artifact here.
But the odds of that are too low, even lower than winning the lottery.
However, Li Mengli and Alice seemed to enjoy themselves, weaving through the various stalls, attracting much attention.
At that moment, a commotion erupted nearby.
Hearing the noise, Alice's expression changed, it was Mike and Qima.
Alice quickly squeezed into the crowd, Lin Chen followed suit.
In the crowd, Mike and Qima were arguing with several martial artists from M Country.
"You guys are too much, the phantom spirit grass was clearly spotted by me first." Qima said angrily.
Seeing a martial artist with an X insignia on his chest smirked at Qima, "So what if you spotted it first, it's in my hands now. Want it? Spend a night with me and it's yours."
"I advise you to return the phantom spirit grass to her, or else you'll regret it." Mike said coldly.
"What's going on?" Alice squeezed into the crowd and asked.
Qima, fuming, said, "Young lady, I clearly was the first to get the phantom spirit grass, but those guys snatched it away. It's the life-saving medicine for my father's illness."
Upon hearing Qima, Alice's gaze turned cold, a glint of frost showed in her eyes as she addressed the martial artists from the X group, "Give her the phantom spirit grass back."
Seeing the overwhelming aura from Alice, the expressions of the X group martial artists slightly changed, "The witch Alice?"
Alice's voice was icy as she looked at the two X group martial artists, "You have two choices, surrender the herb or die!"
Alice's reputation in the supernatural world is indeed formidable, though these two come from the X group, they were somewhat afraid.
However, glancing at the surrounding martial artists from various countries, naturally, they wouldn't obediently hand over the herb, the X group martial artist sneered, "Do you really think we fear your pantheon? This is our country's territory, you chose the wrong place to act arrogantly."
As he finished speaking, he raised his wrist and pressed a red button on the watch. Follow current novᴇls on novᴇlfire.net
With the button press, many martial artists from the X group began gathering around.
"A brawl? Do you think our pantheon would be afraid?"
Alice snorted coldly, placing her finger to her lips, with a crisp spiritual sound, many martial artists from the pantheon also began converging on the site from various places on the island.
Soon, both sides had gathered over a hundred people, all on edge, ready to fight at the slightest provocation.
Seeing X group and the pantheon on the brink of war, martial artists from various countries took a step back, watching the spectacle with amused expressions.
Lin Chen frowned, if both sides started fighting, it would definitely lead to casualties, and here on M Country's territory, if it erupted, the pantheon would surely suffer greatly.
Just as Lin Chen was about to intervene, suddenly a figure flew swiftly from the sky.
With a dull thud, that figure landed on the ground, creating a deep pit.
"Since when did the pantheon have the right to act wild on our territory?" That person arrogantly looked at Alice and said coldly.
"Green Giant?" Seeing the entirely green figure, Alice's expression shifted.
Lin Chen looked at the unrestrained figure, his eyes narrowing slightly, this is the legendary Green Giant!
Lin Chen always thought the Green Giant was a creation of television, never expecting it to exist in reality.
The Green Giant smirked coldly, "Alice, back off wisely, or I won't mind smashing you with a punch!"
Seeing the Green Giant appear, Alice's brows furrowed slightly, a crescent moon blade appeared in her hand, clearly, she's somewhat wary of this opponent.
"The Green Giant dares threaten our young lady, you're courting death?" Mike snapped coldly, preparing to strike the Green Giant.
"Mike, stand down, you're not his match." Alice said coldly.
