Chapter 533: The Mysterious Stone Auction! A Carefully Planned Scam!

Just when everyone was arguing, the stall owner suddenly said loudly:

"Boss, please be patient. Although this stone is magical, I don't know its origin and specific effects. Please be cautious when bidding!"

After listening to the stall owner's words, everyone calmed down a little, but the bidding continued.

Zhuge Lan and Dugu Bo were watching the development of the situation closely, thinking about what to do next.

At this time, the auction price of this stone has reached an astonishing 10,000 gold soul coins.

The black-clothed man who was originally competing said helplessly:

"It's over. This guy who appeared out of thin air directly blocked me. I don't have 10,000 gold soul coins in total. No, this guy is so generous. This stone is definitely a good thing! It can't be taken away!"

The black-clothed man seemed to be talking to himself in annoyance, but in fact he was reminding the man in the crimson robe intentionally or unintentionally.

At this time, the man in the crimson robe was also very entangled.

After all, the current price has already exceeded his expectations long ago.

Besides, he didn't know what the stone could bring him.

Just when he was hesitant, the mysterious man spoke:

"I can't help it. I felt that he was extraordinary at first sight, so I wanted to get him. But, I bid all my money this time. I only have 10,000 gold soul coins. I can't beat you if you add a little more."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at the man in the crimson robe secretly.

The man in the crimson robe also felt his heart pounding when he heard the mysterious man's words.

The man in the crimson robe gritted his teeth, as if he had made a great determination, and shouted:

"I'll offer 10,100 gold soul coins!"

His voice trembled slightly. Obviously, this price had made him feel pressured, but his inner unwillingness and the expectation of the stone still drove him to make this decision.

There was an uproar at the scene. No one expected the price to rise so high.

The man in black showed a barely perceptible smile, as if his goal had been achieved.

The mysterious black-robed man snorted coldly and said:

"Forget it, since you are so persistent, I will give it to you."

The stall owner shouted excitedly:

"Is there anyone who wants to raise the price? Then I will start counting down! 11,000 gold soul coins, once! 11,000 gold soul coins, twice! 11,000 gold soul coins, three times! Deal!"

The man in the crimson robe breathed a sigh of relief and walked forward.

He looked at the people around him proudly, handed the gold soul coins to the stall owner, and carefully picked up the stone as if it was the most precious treasure in the world.

After the crimson-robed man got the stone, he held it tightly, fearing any mistakes, and hurriedly left the scene.

His figure quickly disappeared in the crowd and left the stall.

Zhuge Lan and Dugu Bo looked at each other, a trace of doubt flashed in their eyes, and the two followed quietly.

They followed quietly behind, keeping a certain distance to avoid being discovered.

The crimson-robed man held the mysterious stone tightly and hurriedly came to a more remote inn.

He looked around, as if he was on guard against something, and then quickly entered his room.

Zhuge Lan and Dugu Bo stood quietly outside the inn for a while, keeping a close eye on the door and windows of the inn, not missing any possible abnormality.

The surrounding environment was very quiet, with only the occasional sound of wind and the faint sound of footsteps from afar.

They waited patiently, expecting something abnormal to happen to the stone in the room.

Time passed by, and indeed nothing abnormal happened.

The two looked at each other, communicating their next plan in their eyes.

Zhuge Lan couldn't help but say:

"Why is there no movement after so long? Can that guy really resist exploring the mystery of the stone? After all, he spent a lot of money on it."

Dugu Bo spread his hands:

"I don't know. Maybe he is afraid that if he really dismantles the stone, it will make a big noise and attract some people with bad intentions. After all, this is a ghost market. Don't forget that there are no rules here. Strength is supreme."

Zhuge Lan nodded:

"Yes, he may also be afraid of making a noise and being robbed by others."

"What should we do now? Should we continue to wait?"

Zhuge Lan asked.

Dugu Bo thought for a moment, shook his head and said:

"Forget it, the auction should be open, let's go first."

The two left the inn and ran to the entrance of the auction.

When passing an intersection, Dugu Bo and Zhuge Lan suddenly heard a faint quarrel and laughter coming from the alley next to them.

The two looked at each other, and with a little curiosity in their hearts, they decided to go into the alley to find out.

They walked in the direction of the sound and found that the sound came from a relatively hidden corner.

When they got closer, they saw that it was the stall owner and several people who had participated in the bidding before who were dividing the money!

Among them was the man in black.

"Haha, I really made a fortune this time!"

The stall owner smiled excitedly, holding a bag of gold soul coins in his hand and pouring them into a box on the ground.

"Yeah, that guy is really a fool with a lot of money. He actually offered such a high price."

The man in black also said with a smug look on his face.

"If we hadn't acted well, would he have been fooled?"

Another person echoed.

Dugu Bo and Zhuge Lan hid in the shadows and listened to their conversation quietly.

The stall owner counted the money and said:

"Thanks to everyone's good cooperation this time. Especially you."

The stall owner said to the man in black.

"Those words you said to yourself really stimulated him."

The man in black chuckled:

"That's right, I knew he would take the bait. He seems to be the kind of person who is particularly dedicated to babies. As long as you give him a little hint, he can't help it."

"But seriously, what the hell is that stone? Is it really that magical?"

one person asked curiously.

The stall owner casually picked up a stone on the ground, tossed it in his hand, and said with a smile:

"Actually, it's just like this ordinary broken stone. It's just that I placed a soul guide that can store soul power inside the stone, and stored some soul power inside to make it look a bit mysterious. I didn't expect that The guy actually took it as a treasure.”

Everyone laughed after hearing this.

"The mysterious man in black robes is also one of ours, right? He looks quite similar in his acting."

someone asked.

The stall owner nodded:

"Yes, I found him. He was the one I called to tell the truth. I didn't expect the guy in the crimson robe to be so willing to spend money."

While he was talking, the mysterious man in black robe also came here. (End of chapter)
