"The circle is almost gone!

"Hey, don't push me!"

"What are you trying to do! The auction is about to start!"

"Boom...... Pound!'

As the last ray of light of the spell teleportation array disappeared, the ink-colored "water droplet" in mid-air flew up again, like a huge air fortress, hovering above the "Siyin Street". Immediately afterward, a protective barrier wrapped up from all around the "Water Droplet", blocking the entire "Black Soul Castle".

"Oh, closed venue...... It's like a prison. Gluttony looked up at the enclosed surroundings of the fort and sneered. "I see, it's not about an auction, it's like locking everyone up here. ”

Or maybe...... Is it because we want to ensure the safety of the 'Soul Stone' that the security is so tight, and if this is the case, then on the other hand, the 'Soul Stone' will definitely appear in this auction. Jiang Yao lifted the mask on his face, turned his head to look at the dense crowd around him, and found that there seemed to be a missing figure on the side.

"Huh, what about the frog stant, didn't it follow?" Jiang Yao was stunned for a moment, just now he followed the gluttonous Lu Xingyue and them all the way into this "Black Soul Castle", but he didn't pay attention to where the fat toad was squeezed to.

"I don't know, maybe I was squeezed out, or maybe I didn't come in at all. Lu Xingyue spread his hand, indicating that he hadn't seen the toad either.

"Hmph, that ghost is almost running away from us, so don't worry about it yet. The three-legged black snorted lightly, raising his eyes to cast his gaze on the central area of the fortress's interior.

I saw that the interior of the entire "Black Soul Castle" was in a closed oval, which was an independent space venue. In the center of the venue is a large circular plaza with an open stage that appears to be the site of the exhibits, and the square is surrounded by several circles of stands, climbing up the stairs that at first glance look a bit like the structure of the ancient Roman Colosseum, large enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people. As for the top of the stands, there is a circle of black square space held up by a magic circle, like a huge black box, I don't know what it is for.

"What are those 'black boxes'? It's quite large, like a room...... Jiang Yao muttered softly.

"That thing, I guess it's a box for the so-called 'VIPs'. Look. ”

Lu Xingyue said, quietly stretched out her hand and pointed somewhere above, Jiang Yao looked up, and sure enough, he saw two well-dressed figures being teleported to the edge of the "black box" by a spell under the leadership of the guards, and they got into the box with a twist of their heads and disappeared.

"Judging from the specifications this time, it seems that it is not the same as the 'ghost market' I have heard about before, and I am afraid that there will really be a 'soul stone' in today's auction. Fortunately, Uncle Ben had an idea and created a little chaos before, otherwise it would not be so easy for us to get in if we were blocked by the snake......"

Lu Xingyue breathed a sigh of relief and shook the fading Shishen inscription on the back of her hand proudly. Obviously, not only the shout that detonated the anxiety of the crowd before, but even the black shadow that flashed in front of everyone and jumped into the teleportation circle was also a blind spell deliberately created by Lu Xingyue.

"Now that they've all been mixed in, it's without further ado. Three-legged Wu narrowed his eyes impatiently and said coldly. "Who is the seller behind the 'Soul Stone', just grab the two stewards and ask!"

"Wait, don't be impulsive, let's ...... first"

"Smack!"

Before Jiang Yao finished speaking, the lights of the venue suddenly dimmed, and everyone turned their heads to look, only to see a virtual spell screen suddenly appear in the sky above the square in the center of the venue, and a string of numbers began to appear on the screen in the form of a countdown.

"Sixty...... Fifty-nine...... Fifty-Eight......

"It's a one-minute countdown to the opening of the auction! Quick, hurry up and find a seat and sit down, it's slow to be blasted out......"

As soon as everyone saw that the main drama was about to start, they stopped gossiping nonsense, and hurriedly sat down along the stands;

"There are so many people in the venue, the stands are almost full...... Jiang Yao glanced around and whispered to Lu Xingyue. "I don't know about the white pheasant and Mu ...... Eh, did they come in with Yunhe?"

"It's so dark that we can't find them even if they come in. Lu Xingyue shook her head helplessly and replied. "Having said that, this auction is also quite strange, and everyone doesn't have a number plate in their hands, so how are they going to bid then?"

"I see that there seem to be a few buttons on the armrests of the seat, probably this is the prop to participate in the bidding, right?" Jiang Yao observed the few buttons at hand, and suddenly seemed to think of something, and looked up at Lu Xingyue:

"That's right, Xingyue...... Have you heard the news before that in addition to the 'Soul Stone' in this year's 'Ghost Market', there seems to be another 'special lot'?"

"Another 'special lot'?" Lu Xingyue glanced at Jiang Yao and wondered. "I haven't heard of it at all, where did you know that?"

"Do you remember that I went to the 'Baoyan Pavilion' before I came to Xudu? Actually, I went there mainly to buy information. Jiang Yao said. "Although there is not much information about this year's 'ghost market', there is news that in addition to the 'soul stone' that has been announced, there seems to be a special thing to be auctioned in this auction...... It is said to be a 'rare item' of the level not lower than the 'Soul Stone'. ”

"What can match the 'Soul Suppression Stone'?" Lu Xingyue said in surprise.

"This ...... I don't know, in fact, the 'Baoyan Pavilion' side is not very sure, so they confiscated my money for this news. Jiang Yao sighed and shook his head slightly. "And even if it's the 'Soul Stone', we can't be completely sure if it will actually appear, so let's wait and see what happens. ”

"Hmm...... What will appear in the "ghost market" is definitely not something that can be bought and sold in the regular market. For example, the 'Dragon Bone Key' I once stole was said to have appeared in the 'Ghost Market' auction ten years ago, and then somehow it ended up in the hands of the Ye family. Lu Xingyue analyzed. "Maybe this so-called 'special lot' is also some kind of rare treasure. ”

"Hmph, I'm not here to photograph things, even if things are precious, it doesn't matter to me. The three-legged black interjected coldly, his blue eyes staring at the stage in the center of the square. "What I'm most concerned about now is where the 'seller' of the 'Soul Stone' is. ”

"That guy, as a behind-the-scenes "seller", will definitely not show up easily, and may even hide in a box to peep...... What do you think?" Jiang Yao looked up at the floating "black boxes" above, and then turned to the red-haired man beside him, only to find that the other party was staring at something with his head pinned, as if he was not listening to them.

"What's wrong with you? I was a little absent-minded before......"

Jiang Yao looked at the abnormal appearance of the glutton, and asked worriedly, but before the other party could reply, a loud countdown to zero suddenly floated from the stage in the center of the square. Jiang Yao turned his head to look, and saw a figure walking out of the center of the stage. A beam of light fell from above, focusing on the graceful figure of the figure.

"Distinguished guests, good evening~"

A delicate and sweet voice came out of the stage, and I saw a beautiful woman with blonde hair and red lips and a sexy black dress standing in the middle of the stage, looking up at the dense crowd in the stands.

"Welcome to the 'Ghost Market' auction site, I am the host of tonight's auction, Maggie, you can call me Kiki~"

The woman smiled coquettishly, and a pair of beautiful eyes glanced at the people present with blank expressions.

"This year's 'Ghost Market' auction is much higher than in previous years in terms of lot specifications, and I believe it will be an eye-opener for everyone! Do you want to know how many treasures are coming to the stage this year?"

"......" The audience was silent, and everyone's faces were more impatient except for Mu Ran. To be honest, the people who had just experienced a farce didn't have the heart to engage in this boring interaction at the moment, and there was only one item that everyone wanted to wear, and that was the most important thing in this auction - the "Soul Stone".

"Ahem...... Look, it seems that everyone has known that there are ten lots to be released today, right?It's so smart~" The woman withdrew her waving hand slightly embarrassed, then quickly turned around, twisted her waist and walked to a black wooden platform at the back of the stage, and reached out to pick up a red wooden hammer on it.

"In that case, then Kiki won't be verbose anymore, let's start today's auction quickly!"

"Smack!"

With the woman's final word, the huge screens made of spells above the square suddenly changed, and this time it was not a countdown number projected on the screen, but a purple bone knife that emitted black light.

"Our first lot is this 'Lake Demon Bone Knife'!" the woman said in a coquettish voice.

"This is made from a phalanx bone of the Tianchi Lake Demon. As we all know, the Tianchi Lake Demon has cultivated for thousands of years, and its strength is extraordinary, and it is even more elusive on weekdays, which is extremely difficult to catch. And the bone knife made of its bones not only sharpens iron like clay, but also has the demonic power of the dual attributes of water and gold, which can be described as a treasure that is rare in a hundred years!"

In the woman's introduction, a display table protected by a spell light mask slowly rose from under the stage, and the "Lake Demon Bone Knife" placed in it was impressive. As the exhibition of the lots began, the atmosphere in the stands became a little more lively, and many people exchanged heads and ears, as if discussing the lot in front of them.

"Roar, known as 'a rare encounter in a hundred years'~ Could it be that this 'Lake Demon Bone Knife' is a 'special lot' in the mouth of 'Baoyan Pavilion'?" Lu Xingyue crossed her arms with an expression of watching the play.

"No matter how precious this kind of thing is, it can't be compared to the 'Soul Suppression Stone', right?" Jiang Yao shook his head and directly denied. "There are nine more items to come, let's take a look at them first. If they really want to auction off rare treasures, they will definitely put them in the final stage, including the legendary 'Soul Stone'. ”

"The reserve price of the 'Lake Demon Bone Knife' is 100 million, and the price increase is 100 million. Now the auction begins!"

"One hundred million. ”

"200 million ......"

……

The virtual screen above the square alternately flashes the bidder's seat number, as well as the price offered. In the eyes of these bidders at the scene, it is not too difficult to obtain items that can be purchased with money, and everyone's goal is to go to the "Soul Stone", so the competition is not too fierce. After three or two bids, the "Lake Demon Bone Knife" will be spent.

And the next few lots are nothing more than weapons and magic weapons, medicine cheats. Except for a few lots, the "price" is not only money, but also has other exchange conditions attached, and everything else is basically settled by money. Unconsciously, the fate of the first eight auction items has been settled, and only the last auction item is left except for the long-awaited "Soul Stone".

"It's finally time for the penultimate lot to appear! This lot is said to be a powerful monster, and Kiki is also very excited~"

The woman was talking, but she saw a black-clothed assistant suddenly hurrying to the side of the stage, and stretched out his hand to hand over a card. The woman took the card and looked at it, her expression seemed to move slightly, but it quickly returned to a sweet smile.

"But what...... For some reason, this monster beast unfortunately cannot continue to be auctioned. But don't worry, we've got another 'special lot' for you. ”

A special lot?

Jiang Yao's heart tightened for no reason, he frowned, staring at the display platform that slowly rose from the middle of the stage.

"W-...... this!?"
