Chapter 27 Extraordinary Gathering
During the day, I went to the shooting range to practice the use of pistols and combat methods in various environments, then went to the gym to exercise. At night, I continued to maintain contact with the [Miracle Seed - Tooth] through meditation. A week passed quickly.

Just after dinner, Luke's cell phone suddenly vibrated slightly and made a crisp "ding" sound.

He picked up his phone and saw that it was a message from the witcher Rudy whom he met during the human-faced dog incident.

"Tonight at 1 o'clock, there will be a gathering of extraordinary people at Floy Wharf. If you want to go together, please meet at the fifth entrance at 6 o'clock sharp. If you want to go alone, just go to any entrance from to and tell the black-robed person at the door the entrance password. The password is "May the moonlight protect you and me."

When Rudy mentioned this a week ago, Luke was already very interested. Now that the time had finally come, he immediately replied, "See you at 7 o'clock."

As a newbie in the extraordinary world, Luke didn't have anything to trade, so he only took two pairs of human-faced dog eyes.

At seven o'clock in the evening, Luke arrived at Floyd's Wharf as scheduled. In the parking lot near the entrance, he found the Ford car that picked up Rudy and his friends last time.

After seeing Luke, the two also got out of the car, but the duo became Rudy and a blonde woman.

After getting off the car, Rudy came over and said, "Last week we received an exorcism commission from Santa Barbara. The client encountered a rat man. During the exorcism, Milton was injured by the rat's trap and is still recuperating at the base."

After saying that, he pointed to the lady next to him and said, "This is Natalia Monroe, a Level 2 witch, the logistics and prophet of our team."

The witch named Natalia looked very young, with a pair of blue eyes, which seemed to be able to speak when they blinked under the thick and curled eyelashes. But this was not her most prominent feature. At first glance, the biggest impression she gave people was her whiteness, so white that it seemed to glow. Standing next to her, Rudy, who was obviously also white, was almost mistaken for a mixed-race Negro.

She waved at Luke to make her presence known.

"Welcome to the world of demon hunters. Let me introduce myself to you again. Rudy Connor, level 2 gardener, freelance demon hunter."

How formal! Luke replied in the same tone: "Luke, I should be considered a Level 1 Spirit Fang Warlock, a newly minted demon hunter."

After all, according to Moore, a level 0 extraordinary apprentice does not have any extraordinary abilities. Luke has mastered the "Toothache Technique", so he should not be exposed if he pretends to be a level extraordinary person.

All three of them were young people and they quickly blended in together. Rudy and Natalia each covered themselves with a black robe with a hood. Seeing that Luke was not prepared, Rudy went to the car to get him one.

"Here all kinds of people come together, safety comes first."

After getting ready, the three of them went to the gathering of extraordinary people ahead together.

Passing through the entrance, the dock had been transformed into a large market. Luke looked over and saw at least forty or fifty people there, including those setting up stalls and shopping.

Moreover, the rally has just started, and perhaps more people will come soon. Are there so many extraordinary people in Broward County?
After Luke asked this question, Rudy smiled and explained the reason.

"There are already quite a few extraordinary people in this world. Many of us demon hunters exist in the form of families. There are also wizard schools, ancient schools, voodoo sects from Africa, Indian extraordinary warriors, and so on. There are too many. But compared to the number of ordinary people, they are just a drop in the ocean."

"Moreover, today's rally is the largest in the past six months. People from nearby counties and cities will come if they have nothing to do. After all, everyone has accumulated a lot of things that need to be traded."

So that's how it is. Luke nodded and started browsing the stalls on the dock with the two of them.

There were all kinds of things for sale on these stalls, most of which were various flesh and blood tissues. In just three to five minutes, Luke saw more than a dozen pairs of eyeballs, four or five pairs of claws, and strange things like hearts and lymph nodes. These things were all, without exception, distorted at first glance and could not be extracted from normal humans or animals.

In addition to biological tissues, there are also some strange things such as bottles and jars, potions, weapons and even dolls with weird paintings.

Luke was dazzled by the sight. He would not buy those biological tissues anyway, as they would be useless. But he did not know what the other things were good for, so he was a little confused.

Instead, the witch Natalia began to make large purchases with great interest. She squatted down from time to time, rummaged through the items on the stalls, and argued fiercely with the stall owners.

At this moment, she took a fancy to a piece of something that looked like intestines. She pinched one end of the intestine with her gloved hands and lifted it up. Unexpectedly, the piece of intestine began to wriggle like a living worm, and even the other end was raised high, as if it was going to wrap around Natalia's hand.

She frowned and looked at it for a moment, then said with disdain: "Your snow bear intestine, the cutting technique is wrong, one section is broken."

Without waiting for the stall owner to reply, she continued, "And it's not fresh anymore, you see, the peristalsis efficiency has decreased a lot."

Seeing the stall owner was about to refute, she interrupted again: "You didn't get this snow bear from the natives in Alabama, did you? I heard that the natives there like to use poison to hunt, so there won't be any poisonous residue in this jejunum."

The stall owner had a bad temper. He was interrupted again and again, and his face without a hood was visibly reddening. However, he had no rebuttal to Natalia's words.

After a moment of silence, he snatched the intestine from the witch and said sullenly, "If you want to buy it, buy it. If you don't want to buy it, forget it."

"Four thousand dollars, I'll buy it for four thousand dollars. This thing is very rare and very few people can use it. Otherwise, you wouldn't have kept it until now, right?" Natalia stood up, as if she was going to leave if the other party didn't agree.

"Five thousand dollars. The snow bear is one of the strongest second-level monsters. I was going to sell this intestine for ten thousand."

Natalia made a move to leave.

Seeing her firm attitude, the stall owner had kept this piece of intestine in his hands for almost half a year and it was indeed difficult to sell it, so he had to give in again: "Four thousand is four thousand."

Natalia then stopped and returned to the stall to start trading.

After walking a distance away, the witch boasted cheerfully, "I made a profit again! This piece of intestine can be used as the main ingredient for digestive potions, helping extraordinary people to speed up the digestion of some high-energy foods. It can be sold for at least 20,000 US dollars!"

"Use the monster's intestines to make digestive potions?" Luke asked curiously, "Because it is a digestive organ?"

"You are what you eat," the witch gestured with her fair little hands in the air, "This is a secret alchemy concept from ancient China - like cures like."

It's bad! The quintessence of Chinese culture has leaked out, and she has learned the real thing!

Luke thought of a sentence that he often complained about when watching short videos of foreign bloggers on a certain audio platform in his previous life.
