Chapter 532 Clues to Chaos Poison Crystal? Mysterious Stone Triggers a Frenzy of Scramble!
Dugu Bo couldn't help but sigh softly, with a trace of disappointment in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.
After all, finding rare herbs is not an easy task, and 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 had no intention of giving up. He patted Zhuge Lan on the shoulder and said:
"Don't worry, no matter how carefully we search, we don't have to look for these two materials. We can look at other things. Maybe there will be some unexpected surprises. I don't believe that we can't be found in this ghost market. Want something.”
As they continued to search, they suddenly heard a loud noise.
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! When I get it, it should be mine."
Another man in a crimson robe 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 sparkles 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 like a glowing stone?"
Someone next to me replied:
"This seems to be a piece of ore that contains 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?
It may not look like it, but in this mysterious ghost market, anything is possible.
He whispered to Dugu Bo:
"Old Poison, do you think there is anything fishy 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, you cannot judge based on appearances alone."
Just when the two were arguing, 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."
Dugubo nodded and said:
"You're right, let's check the situation first."
At this time.
Someone else in the crowd shouted:
"I'll pay a high price and I'll buy this stone!"
And the original man in crimson robe was not to be outdone:
"Hmph, if you can afford it, can't I afford it? I've decided on this stone, and I will never give it to you!"
Zhuge Lan looked at the scene of everyone fighting and asked Dugu Bo:
"Old Poison, should we also participate in the bidding? What if this stone is really useful?"
Dugu Bo thought for a moment and said:
"Don't worry, wait until they are 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 intense, 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, but the bidding has already started outside."
Dugubo seemed relatively calm and 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 take a closer look."
The atmosphere in the crowd became increasingly tense, and biddings broke out one after another.
"I'll give you one thousand gold soul coins!"
A burly man shouted, as if he was 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.
Seeing this, the man in crimson robe gritted his teeth and said loudly:
"I'll pay you five thousand gold soul coins! This stone belongs to me!"
There was determination and greed in his eyes.
The man in black was also anxious and shouted:
"I'll pay you six thousand! Don't try to steal it from me!"
Everyone gasped. The price was already quite high for a stone of unknown use.
But the competition doesn't 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'll offer eight thousand gold soul coins!" The man in the crimson robe seemed to be desperate.
The man in black hesitated for a moment and said:
"I...I offer nine thousand! But you have to tell me, why do you want this stone so much?"
The man in the crimson robe sneered:
"Hmph, I naturally have my uses, and it has nothing to do with you! If you can't afford a higher price, don't get in the way here!"
Zhuge Lan saw this scene, he leaned close to Dugu Bo's ear and whispered:
"Old Poison, this price is almost catching up with some ordinary magic weapons. Don't we really want to consider it?"
Dugu Bo frowned and said:
"Wait a minute, I always feel that something is wrong here. They are all fighting so frantically, is it really just because the stone is helpful for cultivation? Or are there other reasons we don't know?"
Just when everyone was deadlocked, a mysterious voice came from behind the crowd:
"I offer 10,000 gold soul coins!"
Everyone turned around and saw a man covered in a black robe slowly walking over, and his face could not be seen clearly.
As soon as this price was announced, the scene suddenly became quiet.
The man in the crimson robe and the man in black both looked unwilling, but seemed to be a little afraid of this mysterious man.
The black-robed man walked to the stone, picked it up and looked at it carefully, then said:
"I must get this stone."
The man in the crimson robe couldn't help but said:
"Why are you trying to snatch it from us? Do you know the function of this stone?"
The black-robed man didn't answer, but just looked at him coldly.
Zhuge Lan and Dugu Bo looked at each other, their hearts full of doubts.
Is this stone really a treasure? Can it be worth the price of 10,000 gold soul coins?
The appearance of this mysterious black-robed man made things more complicated. (End of this chapter)
