Dugu Bo couldn't help but sigh softly, with a trace of disappointment in his eyes, but he soon regained his composure.
After all, finding rare herbs is not an easy task. He has long been accustomed to this feeling of disappointment and hope.
Then they visited a few more stalls, but still found nothing.
Zhuge Lan also said with some disappointment:
“It’s not easy to find, it’s like finding a needle in a haystack.”
Dugu Bo didn't mean to give up. He patted Zhuge Lan on the shoulder and said:
"Don't worry, if we look carefully, we don't have to look for these two materials. We can look at other materials. , maybe there will be some unexpected surprise. I don’t believe that we can’t find what we want in this ghost market.”
While they continued to search, they suddenly heard a noise. sound.
It turned out that an item appeared on a stall that caused everyone to fight for it.
“I saw it first! This should belong to me!”
A man in black shouted.
"Whatever you see first is yours. I picked it up first! It should be mine when I get it."
Another person wearing a crimson robe the man retorted.
Zhuge Lan and Dugu Bo approached curiously, and saw that the man in the crimson robe was holding a stone that emitted a strange light.
The surface of the stone flashes with colorful halos, as if it contains endless mysterious power.
"What is this?"
Zhuge Lan couldn't help but ask.
Dugu Bo shook his head:
“I don’t know, it seems to be a luminous stone?”
Someone next to him replied:
"This seems to be a piece of ore containing special energy. It is said to be of great help to cultivation."
Zhuge Lan's heart moved. He thought to himself.
Could this stone have anything to do with the Chaos Poison Crystal?
Although it may not look like it, in this mysterious ghost market, anything is possible.
He whispered to Dugu Bo:
"Old Poison, do you think there is anything strange about this stone?"
Dugu Bo also became interested in this stone. He squinted and carefully observed the shape and light of the stone.
Try to discover what is special about this stone.
After a while.
He said slowly:
"There does seem to be something extraordinary about this stone. There seems to be a trace of energy fluctuations in it. However, in this ghost market, one cannot judge based on appearance alone."
Just before the two people were at odds with each other, At this time, Zhuge Lan fell into deep thought.
He was thinking, if this stone was really special, would it be the key to solving the mystery of the Chaos Poison Crystal? Or will it lead us to the Chaos Poison Crystal?
He said to himself:
"Perhaps we should not let go of any possible clue, even if it seems far away from our goal."
Dugu Bo nodded and said:
"You are right, let's take a look at the situation first."
At this time.
Someone in the crowd shouted:
“I will pay a high price, I will buy this stone!”
And the original man in the crimson robe was not to be outdone:
"Humph, if you can afford it, can't I afford it? I have decided on this stone, and I will never give it to you!"< br>
Zhuge Lan watched everyone fighting During the robbery scene, he asked Dugu Bo again:
"Old Poison, do we also want to participate in the bidding? What if this stone is really useful?"
Dugu Bo thought for a moment and said:< br>
"Don't worry, wait until they are almost done fighting, and then we'll see if the price is right. After all, we don't know what the stone is used for, so we can't act blindly." As the bidding became more and more fierce, the price soared.
Dugu Bo was a little anxious. He was worried that the stone would be bought by others at a high price and they would miss a possible clue.
At this time Zhuge Lan said:
“This hasn’t even entered the auction yet, the bidding has already started outside.”
Dugu Bo seemed relatively calm, he said:
“Calm down, we have to stay rational. In this ghost market, sometimes things that seem precious may not be as valuable as they appear. Let’s observe and observe . ”
The atmosphere in the crowd became more and more tense, and the bidding was heard one after another.
“I’ll pay you a thousand gold soul coins!”
A burly man shouted, seemingly determined to get this stone.
"Hmph, you think you're the only one with money? I'll pay you two thousand gold soul coins!"
The man in black responded disdainfully.
When the man in the crimson robe saw this, he gritted his teeth and said loudly:
"I will pay you five thousand gold soul coins! This stone belongs to me!"
His There was determination and greed in his eyes.
The man in black was also anxious and shouted:
“I’ll pay six thousand! Don’t try to steal it from me!”
Everyone gasped, this price is for a piece of unknown use For a stone, it is already quite high.
But the competition did not stop there.
An old man spoke slowly:
"You young people are too impulsive. Although this stone looks a bit strange, no one knows what benefits it can bring. Maybe it is just an illusion. After all, this ghost market has everything. Uneven.”
However.
His words had no effect and the bidding continued.
“I will offer eight thousand gold soul coins!” The man in the crimson robe seemed to be desperate.
The man in black hesitated and said:
"I...I'll pay nine thousand! But you have to tell me, why do you want this stone so much?"
The man in the crimson robe sneered:
"Huh, of course I have it. My use has nothing to do with you! If you can't afford a higher price, don't do it! You're in the way!"
When Zhuge Lan saw this scene, he leaned close to Dugu Bo's ear and whispered:
"Old Poison, the price is almost as high as some ordinary magic weapons. . Should we really not think about it?”
Dugu Bo frowned and said:
"Wait a minute, I always feel that something is wrong here. They are all fighting so crazily. Is it really just because the stone is helpful for cultivation? Or is there something else we Don’t know the reason? ”
Just when everyone was in a stalemate, a mysterious voice came from behind the crowd:
"I will offer 10,000 gold soul coins!"
Everyone turned around and saw a man shrouded in The man in the black robe came slowly, but his face could not be seen clearly.
As soon as the price came out, the scene suddenly became quiet.
Both the man in crimson robe and the man in black looked unwilling, but they seemed a little afraid of this mysterious man.
The man in black robe walked to the stone, picked up the stone and looked at it carefully, and then said:
"I am bound to get this stone."
Deep The man in red robe couldn't help but said:
"Why are you trying to rob us? Do you know the function of this stone?"
The man in black robe did not answer, but gave him a cold look.
Zhuge Lan and Dugu Bo looked at each other, both filled with doubts.
Is this stone really a treasure? Is it worth the price of 10,000 gold soul coins?
The appearance of this mysterious man in black robe made things more complicated. (End of chapter)
