Seeing that his loud complaints aroused the attention of the people around him, Zhuge Lan quickly pulled Dugu Bo aside and whispered:
"Look at you, why are you shouting so loudly? Others think you are What's wrong?"
Zhuge Lan comforted:
"Let's calm down first, maybe there is a way to find the woman."
Dugu Bo snorted. ：
"How to find it? This sea of people is huge, and she has disappeared long ago."
Zhuge Lan scratched his head, his eyes suddenly lit up:
"How about we go ask around? The stall owner, maybe someone knows that woman.”
Dugu Bo thought about it and thought it made sense, so he and Zhuge Lan went to ask the nearby stall owners.
Everyone said they didn’t know the middle-aged woman, or if they knew it, they didn’t dare to say anything for fear of getting into trouble.
After asking around, I found nothing.
Zhuge Lan sighed and said:
“There is no way, in this ghost market, everyone hides their true identity deeply, trying to find the stall owner. It’s so sad. We were all caught off guard by this. But having said that, it is also a reminder to us that people are unpredictable in the ghost market and we need to be cautious when trading. Be careful. We can't be careless due to a moment of negligence."
Dugu Bo calmed down and gradually loosened his clenched fists, but there was still a hint of unwillingness in his eyebrows:
"Smelly. You're right, kid. I was careless this time. However, how could I, Dugu Bo, be defeated so easily? I will take note of this."
Zhuge Lan patted Dugu Bo on the shoulder and said:
"Old poisonous man, don't just think about revenge, we have to think about what to do next. Although this ghost market is a mixed bag, there are also many hidden things. Baby and opportunity, we can’t be deterred by a setback like this.”
Dugu Bo nodded slightly:
“Humph, of course I won’t let this happen. So give up. But this woman is so clever at cheating and can slip away under our noses. She must have some tricks and background in this ghost market. We must be careful not to fall into her trap again.”
"Then why don't we wander around again and see if we can find some clues about her? Or maybe we can come across other useful things."
Zhuge Lan suggested.
Dugu Bo thought for a moment and said:
"That's fine, let's go shopping again. But this time we have to be more careful and we can't be as reckless as before."
The two regrouped and continued shopping in the ghost market. They carefully observed the treasures in each stall.
At the same time, he also paid attention to every move of the people around him to see if he could find any trace of the middle-aged woman.
At this moment, Dugu Bo's eyes were attracted by a stall with a faint purple light, and he quickly walked forward.
There are various strange items placed on the stall, the most eye-catching of which is a pair of purple scorpion claw soul bones.
This pair of scorpion pincers exudes a faint cool air, and there seems to be faint fluctuations in soul power on the pincers.
When Zhuge Lan saw this, although he didn't know what he found, he quickly followed him.
Dugu Bo squatted down, picked up the scorpion tongs soul bone and looked at it carefully, with excitement in his eyes:
"Hey, this thing is kind of interesting."
Although the stall owner of this stall is wearing a mask that wraps his entire head, you can see the old wrinkled skin on his hands that has experienced vicissitudes of life. come out.
The stall owner should be an elderly man.
I saw him saying unhurriedly:
"This gentleman has good eyesight. This is the scorpion claw soul bone obtained from a mysterious place. It is extremely poisonous and powerful. Extraordinary, if it can be absorbed by a suitable soul master, its strength will be greatly increased."
"What do you think of these soul bones?"
Dugu Bo asked in a low voice.
Zhuge Lan looked at it carefully, nodded and said:
"It is indeed extraordinary. Judging from the color and aura, it should be from the hands of a high-level soul beast."
Suddenly, Dugu Bo seemed to have thought of something. He hurriedly opened the poison prescription he got at Wuhun Palace and looked at the contents carefully.
Among the required materials, there really is this scorpion pincer soul bone!
Dugu Bo's heart was fluctuating. He didn't expect to see such hard-to-find materials in this ghost market.
However, he still acted calmly and looked at Zhuge Lan.
“Old Poison, do you want these soul bones?”
Zhuge Lan saw Dugu Bo's thoughts and asked.
Dugu Bo nodded slightly and said softly:
"Judging from the aura emitted by this pair of soul bones, this is definitely not an ordinary thing. Moreover, the poison-making recipe of Wuhun Palace I also need these scorpion pliers as materials."
Dugu Bo looked at the stall owner and asked:
"Old man, how did you get these soul bones?"
The stall owner didn't even look at them, he just said disdainfully:
"Is this your first time in the ghost market? I don't know what the rules are here. In the ghost market, treasures don't ask where they come from."< br>
“If I don’t know where it came from, then how do I know whether your thing is real or fake?”
Dugu Bo retorted.
The stall owner snorted coldly and said impatiently:
"Since you don't know and can't look at the baby, then don't buy it and get out."
Oops! Zhuge Lan suddenly became furious because he dared to use such an attitude when selling things.
He stood up suddenly and was about to curse, but luckily Dugu Bo quickly stopped him with his quick eyesight and hands.
Dugu Bo grabbed Zhuge Lan and said softly:
"Don't be angry, we really need these scorpion pliers. What if this old man is stubborn and won't sell us if he has money?" , then we will miss the treasure.”
Dugu Bo pulled Zhuge Lan behind him, still with a calm expression on his face, and slightly cupped his hands to the stall owner and said:
"Old man, don't be angry, my friend is a bit impatient. But we do I am very interested in this Scorpion Soul Clamp, I just want to know more about it, no offense intended.”
The stall owner then raised his eyelids, glanced at them coldly, and said:
"Humph, since you want to buy it, don't ask so many nonsense questions. The quality of this soul bone is here, Those who know the goods will naturally know its value."
Dugu Bo smiled and said:
"Old man, please give me a price. As long as the price is right, we want this soul bone."
The stall owner stretched out a hand, spread his fingers, and waved it in front of them.
“Five thousand gold soul coins?”
Zhuge Lan asked.
Hearing Zhuge Lan say five thousand, the stall owner took his hand back directly:
"If you don't want to buy it, can you go away? Don't affect my business. It's bad luck."
Dugu Bo was also panicked. Zhuge Lan challenged the stall owner's bottom line again and again. He was really afraid that the stall owner would be angry. Sold them.
“Is it fifty thousand gold soul coins, old man?”
Dugu Bo asked politely.
The stall owner rolled his eyes at him and hummed:
"Fifty thousand? Do you think my soul bone is an ordinary thing? Five hundred thousand gold soul coins, I won't sell it for a penny less!"
"Half a million!"
Dugu Bo also frowned slightly, this is not a small amount. (End of this chapter)
