"'Black Soul Castle'......"

Jiang Yao looked at the black fortress at the end of the long street from a distance, and found that the fortress as a whole presented a closed oval, which looked like a giant ink drop condensed in the fog from a distance, exuding a certain mysterious aura.

"Do I need any documents to enter this 'Black Soul Castle'?" Jiang Yao turned back to the white pheasant and asked.

"Hehe, it's not like the auction in human society, where is it so complicated to need documents~ As long as you can enter the 'ghost market', you are eligible to participate in the auction. However, at the time of admission, some necessary registration procedures are indispensable, and we will act at the right time. ”

The white pheasant covered his mouth and chuckled, but then he seemed to think of something, and his expression suddenly became a little serious.

"Having said that, the guards in the 'Black Soul Castle' are very tight, and if there is trouble, I am afraid that they will not be able to get out of there alive. We still need to be careful, even if the 'Soul Suppression Stone' does appear, don't act rashly for the time being. ”

"Well, I know......" Jiang Yao lowered his head solemnly, to be honest, his purpose was not to seize the "Soul Suppression Stone", but to find out the source of the appearance of this magic stone. Since this "Soul Stone" is an auction item in the "ghost market" to seek a "buyer", there will inevitably be a "seller". And this "seller" may be the culprit who cursed the blue bird and set off a bloody storm in the earth.

I don't know if the "seller" of the "Soul Stone" will appear at the scene...... If the other party doesn't show up in person, then the only way to sneak into the organizer's "Ghost Tooth Group" is to find out the news of the "seller". But with the current state of me and Xingyue, I'm afraid ......

Jiang Yao thought about it, looked up at Lu Xingyue on the side, but saw that the other party's face was not much better. The previous full ten hours of "special challenge" had already consumed a lot of mana from the two of them, and if anything happened at this auction again, under such strict guards, I am afraid that they would not be able to retreat at all.

Never mind...... It will depend on the situation then. In other words, gluttony and three-legged black they ......

"That, Jiang Yao...... There's one more thing I'd like to discuss with you. ”

Just as he was thinking about it, the voice of the white pheasant suddenly sounded from the side again. Jiang Yao came back to his senses, turned his head to look, and found that the white pheasant was hesitantly caressing the diamond stud earring on his left ear, and his face seemed to be a little uneasy.

"Actually...... I'm here to the Ghost City this time, and in addition to wanting to know about the Soul Stone like you, I also have some other information I want to inquire about. I think...... I'm afraid I'll have to be separated from you for a while. ”

"Ah...... It's okay, don't worry about us. However, is it really okay for you to be a girl in this 'ghost market'?" Jiang Yao asked with some concern.

"It's okay, just to ask for some information, and I'll meet you soon. The pheasant smiled and put the mask on his face. "There's still an hour before the auction, you can also wander around this free trade bazaar, and we'll see you at the auction in an hour. ”

After speaking, the white pheasant nodded at Jiang Yao and Lu Xingyue, and then turned around and left.

"Is there another hour...... It's a good idea to find a place to take a break. Jiang Yao sighed and rubbed his eyebrows tiredly. "Xingyue, let's ...... next Hmm, Xingyue, what's wrong with you?"

Jiang Yao turned his head, only to find that Lu Xingyue was silently staring at the corner of the alley behind the two of them, looking vigilant.

"Over there, somebody is coming. ”

Lu Xingyue whispered, quietly conjuring up a pale golden hook in his palm, guarding the two of them, and Jiang Yao couldn't help but get nervous when he heard this, he stared intently at the corner in front of him, thinking about possible countermeasures in his heart.

"Smack...... Bang ......

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and Jiang Yao and Lu Xingyue's nerves were getting tighter and tighter, and just as the two of them were on guard, they suddenly saw two tall figures appearing in the shadows around the corner.

"...... you guys!?"

Jiang Yao looked at the two masked figures in front of him wearing dark gray cloaks, and was suddenly slightly stunned. For some reason, he always felt that the two figures seemed a little familiar, especially the guy who walked swaggeringly, and his posture was very similar to that of some red-haired man with a mocking face for 10,000 years.

"Oops~ You two finally came out alive. Do you know how much effort we put into finding you two to get you two back?"

Before the two men could get closer, mocking words came from the mouth of one of the men, wearing the mask of demons. With a familiar voice and a familiar tone, Jiang Yao didn't even need to look at the person's face to guess who was coming.

"It's you, glutton......!"

Thinking of the gluttonous guy who had played the world without even saying hello before, Jiang Yao couldn't help but be angry.

"Are you embarrassed to say that I went before, where did you go before, did you know that Xingyue and I almost died?"

"You know, aren't you locked in the belly of that 'scourge' and almost digested?" Gluttony smiled, reached out and took off the mask on his face, and looked at Jiang Yao's angry face with a funny expression.

"The ...... of the 'scourge' In the stomach?" Jiang Yao was slightly stunned, and didn't seem to react yet.

"Alas...... You, why don't you hurry up and thank me?" "If it weren't for the fact that I helped the two of you block it in the first place, you two would have been crushed to death by the pillar in that different dimension. ”

"Is it difficult to help us block the pillars...... is it difficult...... The hand that tore through the sky at that time was you!?" Jiang Yao's face changed, and he suddenly realized. "And the red eye that stared at me...... It's you, too!?"

"Did you just find out? Heh, if it weren't for the sake of saving you, I wouldn't have gotten my hands dirty and cut out the belly of that 'scourge'. Gluttony pursed his lips, patted the ash on his hand, and said.

"'Scourge' is a rare monster beast that is huge, resembling a black dog, and is surrounded by rusty red flames, so it always brings trouble to the surrounding area. At this time, the man on the side of gluttony also reached out and took off his mask, revealing the serious and indifferent face of the three-legged black.

"That 'scourge' lives by devouring energy, and when it is hungry, it will even burrow into the edge of the 'rift in the Three Realms', swallowing some of the different dimensions and digesting them one by one, but when the energy in the abdomen is sufficient, it will temporarily fall into a deep sleep and become much more dissipated. This time, it was brought to the "Ghost Market" by the "Oni Fang Group" as an auction item, and you were transported into its stomach as food to stop the "scourge" in the name of the so-called "Special Challenge". ”

"There is such a thing!?" Jiang Yao was stunned. "Why do the 'Ghost Fang Group' want to use the participants of the 'Ghost Market' as bait for this monster? Could it be...... The so-called 'ghost market' is just a pretext to satisfy their desire to kill?"

"Hehe, of course the 'ghost market' still has to be done, but their 'target customers' are not you. Gluttony glanced at the crowd of people walking down the long street outside the alley and sneered.

"This year's lot is not ordinary, they have already invited customers who they think are qualified to participate in the auction. And in order to ensure that this year's auction does not travel pools, they have designed such a farce, to wipe out the unstable factors that covet the 'Soul Stone', and by the way, feed the 'scourge'. ”

"Just for that...... Did you go to great lengths to design a 'special challenge' and even send out invitations in advance?No, no, I always felt that things were not that simple......" Jiang Yao frowned and analyzed.

"If it was really to feed the 'Scourge', they wouldn't have set the threshold of the 'Ghost Market Invitation' at the beginning, for them, wouldn't the more bait the better......?

"Alas, it's useless to dwell on these things now, just wait and see. Lu Xingyue shook her head and turned to look at the three-legged black. "Speaking of which, how did you know we were in the womb of the 'scourge'?"

"We found the Elephant Snake, the captain of the Devil's Tooth Guard, and prying it out of his mouth. Of course, it took some means......" said the three-legged black, looking at the glutton, who shrugged his shoulders and didn't bother to explain at all.

"We know you've come for you after you've been locked up in Scourge. And to save you, you must break the belly of the scourge. ”

While explaining, the three-legged black looked Lu Xingyue up and down, and saw that he didn't seem to be injured, and his expression relaxed a little.

"But luckily, we still caught up, and we didn't work in vain. ”

"I'll just say how the golden storm that swept us out of the crack before is so familiar, and it's really you. Lu Xingyue sighed, and when she looked up, she found that the three-legged black was staring at her, so she couldn't help but look away, and muttered softly:

"No, whatever...... Thank you anyway. ”

"I told you I would take care of you for Bluebird. Other than that...... I can't turn a blind eye to the 'Soul Stone' incident this time......"

The three-legged black raised his head and looked at the "Black Soul Castle" at the end of the long street, and a chill faintly flashed in the depths of his blue pupils.

"The guy who killed him in the first place, I must ...... Will clean him up with my own hands!"

"Pound ......"

"Who!?"

Lu Xingyue turned around vigilantly, and was just about to wave the light cable in his hand to the corner where there was movement, but saw a chubby figure fall out with a "poof". With a flash of magic light, I saw that the figure shook his head and changed, and in the blink of an eye, the original form of the toad appeared.

"Are you...... Frog Frog!?" Jiang Yao stared at the big fat toad wearing a cloak and sneaky, and immediately remembered the toad ghost he had seen in the netherworld. And now, this ghost who should have been in the netherworld actually appeared in front of him again, which made Jiang Yao feel uneasy.

"Y-Why are you here......?

"Ahem, don't be nervous, the living dead. Frog Frog said and quickly got up from the ground, pretended to pat the dust on his body, and cleared his throat. "Lord Frog Frog, I'm not here for you, croak...... Besides, Lord Hades, she is very busy, and she doesn't have time to care about your little ...... Little ......"

seemed to notice the impatient face of the gluttony in front of him, and the frog's official tone was only halfway through, and he was stubbornly blocked by the gluttony with his eyes, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

"Stop talking nonsense and get down to business. The three-legged crow shook his head and simply broke the topic back. "You went to the vicinity of the 'Black Soul Castle' before, did you find any news?"

"Ah, Frog Strider was just about to talk to the two adults!" Frog Strider came back to his senses and hurriedly took two steps forward.

"Although Frog Shadow didn't hear the news of the 'Soul Stone', Frog Shadow found another incredible piece of information. ”

Frog Murray blinked her big green eyes and said excitedly.

"Frog Strider has finally found ...... Those 'Missing Energy Bodies' that were stolen!"
