Soul Stone ......!

Even though he had been prepared in his heart, when he heard these three words really echo in his ears, Jiang Yao still "chuckled" in his heart.

To be honest, Jiang Yao didn't believe in the fact that the "Soul Suppression Stone" would be auctioned. After all, judging from the previous experience, the mastermind behind the use of the "Soul Suppression Stone" to manipulate the blue bird and mutilate sentient beings attaches great importance to the "Soul Suppression Stone", and it is impossible to hand over this thing easily; The reason why Jiang Yao came to the "ghost market" this time was more because of the mentality of exploring the hidden clues behind it, and he actually didn't have much hope for the appearance of the "Soul Stone".

However, the reality now is that the "Soul Stone" is indeed about to appear on the stage, right under the noses of everyone at the auction site of this "ghost market".

"Rumble ......"

With a slight vibration, curling green smoke suddenly diffused from all around the stage, and under the nervous gaze of everyone, I saw a display table slowly rising from the center of the stage, and a small green jade box was placed upright on the display table, looming in the swirling green smoke.

"The ...... in that box Is it the 'Soul Stone'?"

Lu Xingyue frowned slightly, like Jiang Yao, he was also skeptical about the appearance of the "Soul Suppression Stone" this time.

"I always feel that something is wrong, looking at this pretentious appearance, maybe what is in this box is actually not the real "Soul Suppression Stone" at all. ”

"But the people who participated in this auction are all guys with status and status, and the 'Ghost Tooth Group' can't fool people at all, and it is impossible to fool people by smashing their own signboards. Jiang Yao hesitated and said softly.

"Then do you think that the mastermind behind the scenes will really be willing to let go of the 'Soul Suppression Stone'?" Lu Xingyue asked.

"Not really...... But there may be another possibility, that is, the "Soul Suppression Stone" that was auctioned is not actually the one on the person behind the scenes, after all, there is no news that there is only one "Soul Suppression Stone". Jiang Yao analyzed, and his tone was not quite sure.

"But if this 'Soul Suppression Stone' really has nothing to do with the mastermind behind the scenes, then how can the 'puppet undead' that appeared before explain it?" Lu Xingyue shook her head and said. "But then again, neither of us actually saw the real 'Soul Suppression Stone' clearly, and even if we saw the contents of the box, most of us couldn't judge ......."

"The reason why the 'Soul Suppression Stone' has so much power is that it is fed by the souls of the dead, so the evil aura it emits must be extraordinary. The three-legged crow on the side stared at the green jade box on the display platform and interjected coldly. "Even if you don't recognize it, I won't admit it. ”

"Oh, then can you feel the breath in the box now?, is it the 'Soul Suppression Stone' in it??" Lu Xingyue suddenly came to her senses, and hurriedly asked.

"Heh, if I could feel it, I wouldn't be here. The three-legged black glanced at Lu Xingyue and poured cold water on it. "A sealing enchantment has been applied around this green jade box, and the breath is locked, unless the box is opened, no one can tell whether it is really a 'soul suppressing stone' inside. ”

"Cut...... It's like saying it in vain, and I thought you could see it. Lu Xingyue muttered dissatisfiedly, and moved her gaze back to the green jade box on the stage. In the green smoke that dispersed, the box was completely displayed in front of everyone, and the woman on the stage also opened her mouth again at this time:

"Inside the box, there is no doubt that it is the long-awaited 'Soul Stone'! Next, Kiki will announce its auction reserve price......"

"Wait!You don't even open the box, who knows if it's really a 'Soul Suppression Stone'!?"

Before the woman could finish speaking, loud doubts sounded from the stands again.

"If you want us to bid, you have to let us confirm what's inside!"

"That's right, mules or horses, pull them out and slip away!"

“……”

It seemed that she had expected such a reaction from everyone, but the woman on the stage did not panic at all, only to see her calmly raise her hand, signaling everyone to be quiet, and then turned around and slowly walked to the display table where the green jade box was placed, and stroked her hand on the spell light shield on the display table.

"Hehe, the coercion emitted by this 'Soul Suppression Stone' is not something that ordinary people can bear, and originally our 'Ghost Tooth Group' was also afraid of hurting you, so we specially arranged this sealing box. But now it seems...... People still don't buy it. ”

The woman waved her hand slightly, and the spell light shield on the display table disappeared immediately, leaving only the green jade box on the table.

"In that case, then Kiki will let everyone see the real 'Soul Suppression Stone'...... What does it look like~"

"Ka ......"

With a crisp sound, the seal lock of the green jade box fell, and the woman immediately flashed and disappeared on the stage.

"Click...... Click...... Click-'

The crisp sound became more and more dense, and in the surprised eyes of everyone, they found that cracks suddenly appeared around the box, and the seemingly nonexistent mana fluctuations accompanied by bursts of ominous golden demon light radiated from the cracks, as if something was about to move inside the box.

"Huh, what does that feel ......!?" the three-legged black's face changed, and he stood up from the corner abruptly. "Inside the box...... It has the breath of a blue bird!"

"You, what are you talking about!?" Lu Xingyue was startled, got up and grabbed the placket of the three-legged black. "You make it clear, what the hell is going on!"

"There is indeed a 'Soul Suppression Stone' in the box, there is no doubt about it! More than that, this 'Soul Suppression Stone' is ...... It still binds a wisp of the soul of the blue bird!"

The three-legged black reached out and dropped the mask on his face, and his originally cold face was hideous with anger.

"No wonder the blue bird was at the mercy of others, so it was...... It turns out that the guy behind him has already extracted his soul to feed this town soul magic stone!"

"What!?, you mean my father-in-law, he ......?"

Lu Xingyue trembled, and his head went blank with extreme shock. And seeing that the "Soul Suppression Stone" on the stage that restrained the soul of the blue bird was about to become a lot, the three-legged black could no longer hold back the anger in his chest, and suddenly a fierce demonic aura burst out from his body!

"Rumble——!!

The violent shock was accompanied by an explosive golden whirlwind, which instantly swept through the entire "Black Soul Castle". Before everyone could realize what was happening, they were overwhelmed by the raging demon wind, and they could only watch as the man wielding huge black wings descended from the sky and rushed towards the jade box that was gradually cracking.

"I will never let anyone take his soul!"

The three-legged black shouted angrily and reached out to grab the green jade box, but the moment he touched the box, an unexpected situation happened.

"Whoa!"

I only heard a loud cracking sound, and the entire green jade box shattered! For a while, an ominous golden light surged from the center of the box, engulfing the three-legged black figure in an instant. Jiang Yao saw that the situation was wrong, and hurriedly pulled Lu Xingyue and ran to the front stage, but at this moment, they saw a shocking scene.

At the same time, a blood-colored magic circle appeared from under the stage, and an ominous electric light climbed up the body of the three-legged black along the pattern of the magic circle, like a tangled thorn, firmly imprisoning the three-legged black in the magic circle.

"Then, that's ......'Soul Sucking Array!?" Lu Xingyue's face changed greatly when he saw this. "How can there be such a thing on stage??"

"Could it be that this auction has been a trap for the three-legged black from the beginning!?" Jiang Yao suddenly realized something.

"Using the remnant soul of the blue bird as bait is to let the three-legged black enter the trap, and the purpose is to use the soul of the three-legged black ...... Feed the 'Soul Stone'!"

"Uh-huh, ahhhh——!!h

The roar of collapse was mixed with the painful roar of the three-legged black, echoing above the ruins of the venue. I saw the three-legged black-eyed half-kneeling in the center of the venue at this time, and the huge black wings struggled in the tyrannical golden wind, but they could not get rid of the golden chains on their chests. At the same moment, black phantoms suddenly floated out from all directions of the venue, constantly being absorbed into the magic circle, and the blood-colored magic circle also expanded more and more under the impetus of the black phantom, blocking all the retreats of the three-legged black.

"Those phantoms...... It's 'missing the energy body'!" Lu Xingyue looked at those black phantoms in astonishment and shouted in surprise. "It turns out that those energy bodies that were transported in were used to drive this 'Soul Sucking Circle'!?"

"If you don't block those energy bodies, I'm afraid you won't be able to save the three-legged crow at all......! Gluttony, where the hell have you been at this time!?"

Jiang Yao gritted his teeth and anxiously looked around at the crowd of chickens and dogs. In the confusion, everyone was rushing towards the exit, but the red-haired man was never visible. In desperation, Jiang Yao could only focus his gaze on the black phantom in front of him again, and quickly thought about countermeasures in his mind.

If you can devour those energies first, you might be able to break the magic circle...... Wait, "devour"!?

Jiang Yao suddenly remembered that he was out of control that night in the West District villa, and remembered the withered claws of the corpse dove that seemed to have been sucked dry, and the ocean of energy in his chest began to move again unconsciously.

Although it has only happened once, my demonic power ...... It seems that it can indeed devour energy?

Jiang Yao thought, and then his heart sank, and he reached out to straighten the mask on his face.

"Xingyue, cover me. ”

"Wait, where are you going?"

In Lu Xingyue's surprised shout, Jiang Yao jumped down from the stands and rushed in the direction of the three-legged black against the swept demon wind.

"Boom ——!"

The falling rubble smashed around in bits and pieces, and was then cut into powder by the rampaging demon wind. And Jiang Yao dodged in the shock, while quickly recalling the scenes he had experienced in the villa in the West District.

"Absorb energy...... How did I do it at the time? I remember that gluttony forcibly instilled demonic power in me, and then my body ......

【Poof!】

"Huh!?"

With the sudden tremor of his heart, Jiang Yao suddenly took a slam on his feet, clutched his chest in pain, and fell to his knees.

"Jingle Bell...... Jingle Bell ......

The familiar sound of the bell pierced through the noisy wind, like an ice pick, piercing Jiang Yao's chest.

Not good...... Isn't it ...... again!?

Jiang Yao gasped, and in a trance, he vaguely heard an ominous murmur wafting from the depths of his heart, like a nightmare whispering in his ears.

【…… Hehe, you finally remembered? The so-called 'devouring', but the power I gave you ......]

Chiyou ...... You......!

Jiang Yao reluctantly raised his head, and in the blurry world of consciousness, he finally "saw" that the "young man" with the same face as himself ten years ago was floating in front of him, looking at him with a smile.

[I can let you control this power, but correspondingly, you have to do something for me......]

The voice of the "boy" was cold and indifferent, like a high-level bystander, calmly looking down on all this.

What did you do? Could it be the ...... in that string of bells!?

[That's right. 】

"Boy" sneered.

[I want you to recover my 'Fifth Soul' - 'Bird Yin'!]
