Chapter 263: The whereabouts of the beast pattern

Kang Zhen looked at the delicate wooden box in front of him with a puzzled look. After hesitating for a moment, he raised his hand and gently opened the lid of the box, revealing a black stone that was smaller than a walnut inside.

Kang Zhen was a little surprised at first, then he raised his head and saw Zuo Feng's serious expression. After a brief moment of confusion, he said in an admiring tone: "After participating in the Luancheng auction for so many years, you are still the first one who can lead Find the person who took out the auction item. It seems that I still underestimated the relationship between you and the city lord. In fact, I was a little surprised when you took the picture of this stone. I am even more surprised that you came to me today. "

Zuo Feng first smiled and said: "There are many reasons for this. I hope Uncle Kang will not cause trouble to the auction house because of this."

Kang Zhen said with a smile: "Of course not, but seeing that you brought it to me today, you should be able to solve the mystery of this stone. This really surprised me. But from another perspective, I still I have to thank you. I patted my chest and promised that this stone was worth the price I proposed."

Zuo Feng nodded slightly and said: "This stone is indeed very special, but I ask Uncle Kang to forgive me for not telling the secret of this stone. I think you can also guess the purpose of my visit today."

Kang Zhen nodded and said: "Actually, I think anyone who takes a picture of this stone will want to know more about it like you, but I didn't expect you to take the picture. But don't worry For the sake of our friendship and these, I will definitely tell you everything I know."

When he said the word "these", Kang Zhen pointed at the six bottles of "Wangyou Zui" on the table. When Zuo Feng knew that Kang Zhen had taken out the black stone, he was already confident that he would not hide anything. When he heard what Kang Zhen said, he nodded slightly.

After sorting out his thoughts for a while, Kang Zhen said slowly: "When Li Ru introduced the black stone, those circumstances were not made up randomly. I also used the credibility of our Kang family to guarantee it. And this stone is indeed A servant from our family found it, and I was also there at the time.”

Zuo Feng had never doubted what Kang Zhen said. After twisting his body, Zuo Feng changed into a more comfortable position and prepared to listen patiently to Kang Zhen's story.

Kang Zhen didn't show off, and continued directly: "You also know that our Kang family also has a herb collection team, and this mysterious black stone was discovered by our herb collection team in the Spiritual Medicine Mountains, and the one who led the team that time The person is exactly who I am.

We wandered around the outskirts of the Spiritual Medicine Mountain Range for a long time, but because it was the best time to collect medicinal herbs, many medicinal materials were discovered first. Since there were two elders from the family following me, I had the courage to propose moving further into the elixir mountain range.

Originally, most people were extremely opposed to it, but the two elders were also eager to get some good medicinal materials, so with the final consent of the two elders, a group of us started heading into the elixir mountain range. About the third day into the elixir mountain range, we discovered a rather strange place. "

At this point, Kang Zhen's voice became urgent, and Zuo Feng could imagine that something extremely special must have happened at that time. Kang Zhen also seemed to become a little nervous. He clenched his hands into fists unconsciously and continued: "That place is very strange. It seems that there was a battle between some extremely terrifying monsters before, and the battle almost spread to the surrounding area for dozens of miles."

Zuo Feng didn't say anything, but clenched his fists nervously. It wasn't that he had never seen monsters and monsters before. It was precisely because he had seen these two terrifying existences that he became nervous at this time.

When he spoke again, Kang Zhen's voice was trembling a little, and he said: "It can be seen that there were several high mountains there, but when we arrived, the mountains were gone, and there were only gravels of different sizes scattered on the ground. And There was a lot of blood walking around.

We were hesitant to retreat at that time, but this change also aroused my great curiosity, and it was also because of my curiosity that we could gain those things."

When he said "those things", excitement appeared on Kang Zhen's face. With a glint in his eyes, he said slowly: "We saw two monsters at that time, two monsters to be precise. Although we couldn't tell the specific level of the monsters, they were at least level five or six, almost that A terrifying existence that can speak human words.

It is difficult to see such a magical beast not only in the outside world, but also inside the Magical Beast Mountain Range, and almost everyone who sees it is killed on the spot. At that time, one of the monsters was already dying, and we were unable to bring it back alive in the end. The other monster was already dead when we found it, and the way of death was extremely horrific. "

Zuo Feng's shock at this time could no longer be described in words. He felt all the hairs on his back stand up. He had never dared to think of such an amazing thing before. Kang Zhenyou said with lingering fear: "Let's not talk about the dead monster. The dead monster is very strange. Its body seems to have been completely drained by something. When we wanted to transport it away, we found that it The body will instantly disperse like dust with just a slight touch.

At that time, we found this black stone among the remains of the dead monster. Just like Li Ru said, this black stone is extremely strange. If it is placed around some elixirs, those elixirs will gradually dry up and lose their original medicinal properties. "

This strange situation has been introduced by Li Ru, and Li Ru also said at that time that if the black stone is placed together with the beast, the beast will also lose its vitality and die. Zuo Feng believes that some situations must have been tried by the Kang family, so they clearly know that there will be such consequences.

Kang Zhen continued: "Several elders in our family, including the ancestor who has not appeared for a long time, have also studied it personally. But the result is that no one knows what it is, and finally they have no choice but to give up. In the end, the family decided to auction this black stone and the other magic beast together, so that the family can also make a lot of money."

Zuo Feng finally knew the ins and outs of the beast pattern when Kang Zhen obtained it, but he had more questions in his mind. According to his own guess and the confirmation from Ni Feng, this beast pattern is indeed less than one thousandth of the original size, but where did most of the rest go? Kang Zhen didn't look like he was hiding anything.

Kang Zhen said this and knew that Zuo Feng must be shocked, so he was also observing Zuo Feng's changes. Seeing that Zuo Feng was a little absent-minded, he looked more like he still had many questions.

Kang Zhen was also curious about why Zuo Feng wanted to bid for the black stone, but when he remembered that Zuo Feng had said before that it was inconvenient to reveal, he could only suppress his curiosity.

He looked at Zuo Feng and said again: "In fact, at the fourth auction, you can see the body of the monster that we brought back to the family. It can also be regarded as the protagonist of the fourth auction. But I hope that friend Shen Feng will keep it secret for us. After all, auctioning such a monster body will still cause some unnecessary trouble."

Zuo Feng nodded gently. He could fully understand Kang Zhen's concerns, and he would naturally not cause unnecessary trouble for Kang Zhen for no reason. After hesitating for a while, Zuo Feng said, "I have another small request, which is to hope that Uncle Kang can tell me where you found the black stone."

Kang Zhen seemed to have guessed that Zuo Feng would ask this question. He smiled and said, "I was going to tell you even if you didn't tell me. In fact, when I knew that you came to me because of the black stone, I was ready to tell you where I found it."

Kang Zhen stood up and walked to the desk in the side hall. After searching for a while, Kang Zhen returned with a neatly folded paper. Zuo Feng looked at the paper handed over with some confusion. Kang Zhen immediately explained, "This is a map of the place. You have never been to the Spirit Beast Mountain Range. Even if I explain it to you very clearly, it is not easy to find. With this map, I believe it will be much easier for you to find it. There are also areas where monsters frequently appear on it. Those places are more dangerous."

Seeing that Kang Zhen actually took out such an important thing, Zuo Feng also took it with gratitude in his heart. After taking a quick look, he put it in his arms.

Zuo Feng did not expect to find out the whereabouts of the beast pattern so smoothly, and also learned a lot of important information about the beast pattern. Zuo Feng was in a very good mood at this time, so he asked casually: "So so many forces attach so much importance to this auction this time, is it because of the monster corpse that you brought out, Uncle Kang?"

Kang Zhen nodded gently and said: "Because this monster corpse is too important, it did not come with our team, but sent someone to deliver it in advance. I don’t know where the mistake was, but so many forces received the news at the same time, and judging from their postures, they are all determined to get the monster corpse."

Zuo Feng finally understood what the other forces were secretly studying at this time. It seems that they are all making targeted preparations for the last auction.

"According to Uncle Kang, this last auction is just for this item?"

Kang Zhen nodded gently and said, "That should be it, but who knows if they will have other rare materials to auction, but I believe the most important thing should be the body of the monster."

Zuo Feng was about to leave at this time, but after hesitating for a while, he couldn't help asking, "The materials on the monster are very precious, and from what you said, the level of the monster is not low. Why don't you keep the things on the monster for alchemy."

Kang Zhen smiled at Zuo Feng and said slowly, "You may not know that if this kind of monster is placed in our family, it will not only not bring us much help, but will bring us a lot of trouble."

Although Zuo Feng found it a bit incomprehensible, he thought that Kang Zhen must have some unspeakable secrets.
