Chapter 454 Auction
The three major families in Wutan City were already equally powerful. Although the Xiao family had a tendency to surpass the other two families with the help of the elixir left by Xiao Yan before his departure and the secret support of Mitel Auction House, the general trend was not yet established and could not compare with the other two families joining forces.
In addition, there were several soul envoys mixed in the crowd. Although the frequency of their attacks was not high, every time they attacked, a member of the Xiao family would die.
The balance of the battle soon slid towards the alliance between the Jialie family and the Oba family.
"Third elder, you take some young people to go first, and the first elder and the second elder will cover the rear with me." Xiao Zhan issued such an order with a clear mind.
Xiao Zhan observed the reactions of the first elder and the second elder. He did not forget that they were actually members of the Amon clan pretending to be. He was still afraid of this strange race.
There was also a test component in issuing orders at this moment. Test whether the members of the Amon clan were really fearless and whether they would really obey their orders as the chief of the Amon clan said.
The Amons who pretended to be members of the Xiao family faithfully carried out Xiao Zhan's orders.
The latter keenly discovered that the reaction of Amon, who pretended to be the three elders, was a little fake. If someone familiar with them, it would be easy to tell.
Seeing Amon's mistake, Xiao Zhan was slightly relieved.
It is not terrible to have mistakes, which means that Amon's replacement is not impeccable. If everything is exactly the same as the original, and people close to him cannot find it, that is terrifying and horrifying.
After fighting with Jialebi, Xiao Zhan suddenly broke out to the periphery.
He shouted loudly: "Jialebi, I, Xiao Zhan, have remembered what happened today, and I will report it in the future."
Xiao Zhan did not want to escape, but pretended to escape to lure Jialebi to chase him.
Putting aside the factors of Amon and the factors of the Soul Clan, and simply facing the encirclement of the two families, Xiao Zhan felt that he would probably make such a choice.
Jialebi cooperated very well and brought a lot of people to chase him as Xiao Zhan expected.
During the chase, Xiao Zhan came to the forest behind. The guardian Wu saw the opportunity and kidnapped Xiao Zhan.
The most important target was already in hand. He sent a message to his soul envoys: "The rest is up to you. Listen to the boy's advice. I'm going back first."
After the guardian Wu left, a soul envoy looked at Yun Meng and asked: "What should we do next?"
Yun Meng looked at him in surprise, wondering why he asked such a simple question.
After being stared at by his idiot eyes for a while, the soul envoy coughed dryly:
"The guardian asked us to listen to your advice."
Wu Meng replied: "Just follow the steps, kill people, collect souls, but be careful not to use distinctive means such as soul locks.
"If someone investigates today's incident, they can only learn from Jialebi that Xiao Zhan is 'missing'. As long as there is no problem on our side, no one can be sure that it was the Soul Palace who did it.
"Xiao Zhan's disappearance may also be due to his own escape using some method and then hiding."
...
In Eagle Fang City, Amon rode on the lightning turtle on the road. The aura of the sixth-level magic beast was slightly released, and the pedestrians in front of him consciously made way.
The injury of the Xu family ancestor has not recovered yet, and Amon decided to go to the auction mentioned by Xu Renshan.
He was still quite interested in this. After all, there were many scenes of picking up bargains at the auction in Doupo.
It's time to test your luck and vision!
The lightning turtle shrank to the size of a palm and stopped on Amon's shoulder. Although there was no invitation, the auction house still arranged a VIP seat for him.
A sixth-level beast pet is still very convincing.
Sitting in the VIP box with an excellent view, there was a beautiful maid arranged by the auction house with revealing clothes.
Amon looked at the maid without looking away, causing a blush on the latter's face.
"Fox's tail and ears...Are you from the barbarian tribe?" Amon asked.
"Well... I come from a small tribe under the jurisdiction of the Savage Wolf Tribe." The maid replied.
"Can you integrate the secrets?"
The maid shook her head: "Although the requirements for learning the secrets in the tribe are not high, I was sold here by human traffickers before I learned it."
Hearing this, Amon immediately lost interest in her, moved his eyes away, and focused on the auction items.
The auctioneer was a charming and beautiful woman, with a strange style in every move.
One by one, the auction items were brought to the display stand. Some were sold at high prices, some had very few bidders, and some were too unpopular and failed to be sold.
Amon was not interested in looking at it. There was nothing suitable for him, no things that were greatly underestimated and could be picked up, and even no strange things with unknown uses.
He sighed: "It is indeed a rare situation to encounter things beyond the level at the auction. It is normal for auctions of the same level to have auction items of the same level."
Most of the participants in this auction were Douling Douwang. In Amon's perception, there were only five Douhuangs, including himself.
One of them was Shen Yan, who was invited by Xu Renshan together with Amon. Another person was not in the audience, but behind the booth. He should be the Douhuang strongman from the Cai family behind the auction.
Things that can interest ordinary Douhuangs are enough to be the finale of this auction. But things that are of great value in the eyes of ordinary Douhuangs are just ordinary in the eyes of Amon.
Just as the auction was coming to an end, a piece of thing about ten feet high and half a foot wide was sent to the booth.
The charming auctioneer introduced with a smile: "Everyone knows that the Disha Plain opposite the Eagle Fang City space wormhole is rich in amber stones.
"According to our appraisal, this piece of amber stone was probably formed seven thousand years ago. We don't know what is inside it.
"Such a large piece of amber stone has a high probability of being shipped. If you open something ancient, it is not a dream to get rich overnight."
Amber stone is a kind of crystal block formed naturally in energy-rich places, and something is often wrapped inside.
Most of them were formed thousands or tens of thousands of years ago. If there are items, they are often treasures that can cause energy enrichment in that era.
Such things are even more priceless now.
In the Disha Plain opposite the space wormhole, there are many tribes that specialize in digging and mining amber stones as their main business.
They do not cut the energy crystal blocks directly, but sell them, passing the risk of gambling to others, and earning a stable income for themselves.
First, the probability of finding high-value items in amber is not high, and second, there may be some dangers hidden in ancient objects.
A special industry has been developed from this.
Since it has become an industry, naturally there will be people who develop special skills and fighting skills for detecting amber stones.
However, it is very difficult to detect the objects hidden inside through amber stones, and this difficulty will increase exponentially as the volume of the stone increases.
Many of the participants in the auction are not visiting Eagle Fang City for the first time and know the ins and outs of it.
But at this moment, they all showed great interest in the stone on the stage, because according to its volume, the Cai family estimated that they could only detect a very shallow part of its surface, and the situation in the inner layer could not be known.
The auctioneer said slowly: "To be honest, we have also checked this stone. After all, I also have a dream of getting rich overnight..."
Her self-mockery attracted a burst of laughter.
After the crowd quieted down, she continued:
"Unfortunately, there is no feedback from the secret method. If anyone is interested, you can take a photo and take a gamble. I can guarantee that this amber stone is absolutely natural and has not been cut or spliced by humans."
Amon's eyes lit up. Here it comes, a strange item with no apparent purpose!
Now is the time to test luck and eyesight.
Amon didn't know how lucky he was, and he didn't have the eyesight to see through the inside of the stone.
But he wanted to take a gamble because it was also very exciting and interesting.
