CHAPTER 115: CHAPTER 50: THE KILLER SUMMONER

With some disappointment, Yun Sheng withdrew her gaze and took advantage of the fact that Yun Cangxue and her son, like most of the guests, were focused on the few Demon Beasts. She covertly observed the actions of others

As she entered the stone gambling feast, Yun Sheng truly paid attention to only one person.

It was that female summoner and her warrior servant beside her.

With such cultivation levels, their presence at the Wanlong Gambling House’s stone gambling feast definitely wasn’t for the fourth and fifth rank Demon Beasts; they must have gotten some news to attend this feast.

Yun Sheng’s observations further confirmed this.

Unlike others, the female summoner didn’t join the crowd to watch the hottest beast but rather inspected some of the remaining Demon Beasts which did not seem prominent.

Her gaze landed on a Demon Beast, specifically an ordinary Wall Shield Turtle.

The Wall Shield Turtle, a fourth-tier Demon Beast, was about the size of a grinding disc and looked very heavy.

It moved sluggishly, and besides having strong defense, it almost had no other advantages.

What could such a Demon Beast do to attract the attention of a summoner?

Could it be that this Wall Shield Turtle had something special about it?

Yun Sheng could not help but refine her gaze, with the light flickering in her Shennong’s Eyes.

Upon closer inspection, Yun Sheng was slightly startled as she found something different underneath the turtle’s thick shell.

Two Magic Elements — this Wall Shield Turtle had, albeit faintly, two different kinds of magic elements.

Despite being very faint, Yun Sheng suspected that there were at least two soul stones inside this turtle.

Could it be possible that this fourth-tier Demon Beast was also a mutated Demon Beast?

The last time at Yuewu Mountain Range, Yun Sheng and Donghuang Lingling encountered a Class C Wanted Magical Beast, which was a mutated Demon Beast.

Mutated Demon Beasts are not common on the continent, let alone a mutated Demon Beast with two soul stones.

The summoner couldn’t possibly have Shennong’s Eyes; she must have used some other method to detect it, which is why she paid special attention to that Wall Shield Turtle.

Apart from Yun Sheng who has Shennong’s Eyes and could ascertain the presence of two Magic Elements in the turtle, the female summoner and her warrior servant could only vaguely guess that there was something unusual about the turtle.

Yun Sheng withdrew her gaze.

After some selection, the guests had all chosen their ideal Demon Beasts.

"Yun Sheng... are we really gambling?" Gu Feng made a bitter face as he looked at this pile of Demon Beasts, feeling clueless.

"Qi, what do you think?" After the earlier mischief, Yun Sheng’s fondness for Qi had soared straight up.

Qi did not respond, but his mischievous gaze landed on the leopard, which already made everything clear to Yun Sheng.

"Since that leopard is so popular, we should of course support it. As for the others, I’m afraid we can’t compete," Yun Sheng carefully glanced at the female summoner and her warrior servant beside her.

The stone gambling feast began, and the most popular "Fake Thunder Leopard" indeed attracted the most attention right away.

To prevent blind bidding, Wanlong Gambling House made complete arrangements: each person could only participate in the bidding for two Demon Beasts, and each Demon Beast could only have the price raised three times at most; exceeding the limit would be deemed invalid.

More than half of the guests chose to bid on the Thunder Leopard, and Yun Sheng’s group symbolically bid two times.

Though there were many people, by the end, unable to withstand the enormously wealthy Martial Saint General Mansion and its mother and son, the final price of the "Fake Thunder Leopard" astonishingly reached 15000 gold coins.

After successfully bidding, Tang Yu’s face lit up with joy, little did he know that soon he wouldn’t even be able to cry.

Further down, different owners also auctioned off the Demon Beasts in the arena.

Yun Sheng and the Female Summoner were particularly interested in the Wall Shield Turtle, which was placed third from last in the auction.

After the bidding of a dozen or so Demon Beasts, only a little more than ten qualified guests remained, including Yun Sheng, who still had an opportunity to bid, the Female Summoner who hadn’t bid even once, and several guests who hadn’t managed to purchase a satisfactory Beast in the earlier rounds.

When the bidding for the Wall Shield Turtle began, the Female Summoner immediately called out, "1000 Gold Coins."

Next to her, a Martial Artist shouted, "1500 Gold Coins."

Although there was nothing particularly special noticed about that Wall Shield Turtle, due to the Female Summoner’s peculiar identity, everyone assumed there must be something special about it.

Following this lead, the price of the Wall Shield Turtle soared along with the bids, rising from 1000 Gold Coins all the way to 10,000 Gold Coins.

As the bids kept increasing, the opportunities for others to call out bids dwindled, and even the Female Summoner had already called out two bids, leaving only one last bidding opportunity, while at this time, Yun Sheng and two others still had one opportunity to bid.

The expression of the Female Summoner became grave.

Several relentless Martial Artists bellowed, "This is Great Zhou, not a place for Penglai Country’s Summoners to covet our Demon Beasts; we have decided on this beast."

As soon as their words ended, suddenly a fierce energy dashed through, and the Servant Warrior behind the Female Summoner suddenly exerted force, creating a booming sound as his fighting spirit surged like a flood.

The chest of the provoking Martial Artist caved in, and his bones eerily cracked.

The Martial Artist who was being disrespectful just a moment ago, now lay collapsed on the ground like mud, only exhaling without inhaling.

A collective gasp was heard, and Long Huo’s complexion also changed.

Very strong, definitely a Martial Venerate Level expert.

"Gentlemen, killing is strictly forbidden within the Wanlong Gambling House," Long Huo’s expression changed.

A remarkably intense Fire Wall surrounded the Female Summoner and the Martial Artist.

Just as the Servant Warrior killed the Martial Artist and Long Huo intervened for scolding.

On her beautiful face, the Female Summoner expressed a look of disdain, as Magic Elements fluctuations appeared on her Summoning Ring, completing her summoning chant.

A cyan-blue Magic Array appeared beneath her feet, and an elegantly poised Ice River Tiger leaped out.

It was a Fifth Rank Ice River Tiger, not big in size, but its body radiated an aura of stern slaughter.

The Ice River Tiger leaped over the Fire Wall, which was originally blazing fiercely as if oil was poured on it, and instantly froze.

With the appearance of the Ice River Tiger, the guests instantly calmed down.

That was a Summoned Beast, a true Summoned Beast.

Not an ordinary Battle Pet, but a Summoned Beast almost in perfect unison with its master.

This Female Summoner came prepared, her Servant Warrior is very strong, she can summon Intermediate or higher level Summoned Beasts, she must be a Scepter Level Summoner.

In a place like Great Zhou City where Summoners are extremely rare, the appearance of a true Summoner is certainly shocking.

"This person spoke rudely to Lady Bingling; he deserved to die. Listen up, we are people from Penglai Country, here to attend this gambling feast strictly to find a suitable soul stone. If anyone dares to provoke us further, he will serve as the best example," the Servant Warrior snorted coldly.

Penglai Country, they actually came from Penglai Country known for producing famous Summoners.
