Guo Jia shook his head slightly.
“It’s not even a Grade 9 material?”
“Does that mean that this Star Tomb isn’t too dangerous?”
Huang Yaoshi was stunned. He didn’t understand what Guo Jia was worried about.
“It’s hard to say. I keep feeling that there’s something strange about this.”
Guo Jia had a strange feeling. For some reason, he always had doubts about this Star Tomb.
“In three days, there should be news back. No matter why this Star Tomb appears, it can’t affect our actions!”
Guo Jia was still very vigilant about the Star Tomb.
“Okay.”
Huang Yaoshi nodded. He had heard about the Star Tomb from Zhang Zhenren, but he didn’t know much about it. He thought it was just an ordinary tomb.
“By the way, about the people from the School of Martial Arts who teach the students of the academy…”
Huang Yaoshi asked meaningfully.
After all, those people from the martial arts sect were under the Martial Arts lower.
“I’ve already gotten the Green-robed soldiers to capture them.”
Hearing Huang Yaoshi’s words, Guo Jia smiled. Although many martial arts sects in the Martial Arts Tower had gone straight to the Nether Battlefield, those ambitious martial arts sects were still secretly trying to recruit students from the academy.
Unfortunately, despite their careful planning, they did not anticipate that Guo Jia had planned to attack them. Moreover, their supposed covert actions were uncovered by the Green-robed soldiers.
“That’s good.”
Huang Yaoshi nodded and didn’t say anything else. After all, most of the students in the academy were still reserve forces as officials of Green Cloud Pavilion. If they were roped in by those people, he would have a certain responsibility.
Thereafter, Huang Yaoshi left Qingya Residence, while Guo Jia continued with his work.
On the other side, in Sea God City, the Illusory Sea Auction was still ongoing. At this moment, the 132nd item had already been auctioned.
“Any higher bids?”
Huan Ling’er’s voice remained unchanged, even after overseeing the bidding for more than a hundred items. She showed no signs of fatigue whatsoever.
“130,000! Going once!” “130,000! Going twice!”
“130,000! Sold!”
“Congratulations on obtaining a Grade 6 Myriad Rock Tea Tree!” Seeing that no one was bidding, Huan Ling’er set the final price.
“I’m sure you’ve been waiting for a long time. Out of more than a hundred items, only one is a Grade 4 treasure. You must be getting impatient!”
Huan Ling’er glanced at the various private rooms in the auction and said with a smile.
There were more than a hundred items, and the VIPs in the private room rarely bid for them. After all, Grade 6 and below treasures were not valuable in their eyes.
They only bid for Grade 5 and above treasures occasionally.
“The next item is not a Grade 3 item, but its quality has reached Grade 4.”
Huan Ling’er had a smile on her face. Then, she turned her body slightly and two foreign races carried an item up.
The two foreign races stood roughly 10 feet tall. The items in their hands didn’t appear very large, but they were incredibly heavy.
With every step the two foreign races took, the stage would tremble as if it could not withstand it.
“This item is called Thunder God’s Hammer. It’s a Grade 4 treasure. Although it’s not a growth-type treasure, it can control the power of lightning!”
Huan Ling’er walked to the two foreign races and lifted the black cloth on the item.
In an instant, dazzling lightning flickered on it, resembling a lightning snake.
Some of the foreign races near the stage had their hair standing up uncontrollably as if they were being affected by electricity.
“The Thunder God’s Hammer is a Grade 4 treasure. It can control lightning and can also use the lightning within the hammer to refine the body and spiritual cultivation. ”
Huan Ling’er introduced the item to everyone present.
“The starting price is 800,000 Spirit Coins, and each subsequent bid must be at least 10,000 Spirit Coins higher!”
With that, Huan Ling’er placed her palm on the handle of the hammer. In an instant, lightning surged and quickly covered her body.
All the foreign races present could not help but stare at Huan Ling’er when they saw the abnormality of the Thunder God’s Hammer.
Huan Ling’er seemed enveloped in lightning, completely bathed in its glow.
“The bidding starts now!”
A voice resonated from the lightning. The electrical energy dissipated, and Huan Ling’er emerged unharmed.
Everyone also noticed that subtle lightning snakes were flickering on Huan Ling’er’s body as if they were swarming her body.
“850,000!”
As soon as Huan Ling’er finished speaking, a voice immediately sounded from one of the private rooms.
“One million Spirit Coins. My Thunder Snake race wants this Thunder God’s Hammer!”
Another voice sounded from another private room, announcing its race.
In the private room, there was a person covered in aqua-blue scales. He had a human body and a snake tail, and there was a lightning mark on his forehead.
This foreign race was the Thunder Snake race; a powerful race in the Illusory Sea.
The Thunder Snake race not only resided in the Illusory Sea but also possessed lightning abilities that made them formidable adversaries for other foreign races in the region. This elevated the Thunder Snake race to the status of Overlords in the Illusory Sea.
“My Star Devourer race is also interested in this Thunder God’s Hammer. I bid 1,300,000 Spirit Coins!”
In another private room, a ferocious-looking foreign race shouted with a smile.
The Star Devourer race was another Overlord race in the Illusory Sea and was innate enemies with the Thunder Snake race.
“Star Devourer race, you’re courting death!”
The Thunder Snake race’s voice was filled with killing intent as he shouted at the Star Devourer race’s private room.
“The highest bidder wins. Are you suggesting that your Thunder Snake race is too impoverished to offer this amount of Spirit Coins?”
The Star Devourer race could not help but mock.
At that moment, in the private room, Mei Wuyan listened to their competition with interest. His golden eyes flickered.
“The Thunder Snake race and Star Devourer race are Overlords of the Illusory Sea. Their strength is not inferior to the Great Eight outside.”
“There’s also a mysterious Dark Heavenly race. It’s said that they’re also one of the Overlords of the Illusory Sea.”
Mei Wuyan’s eyes were filled with thought. Although there were many foreign races in the Illusory Sea, there were only three races that could be called Overlords.
The Thunder Snake race, the Star Devourer race, and the mysterious Dark Heavenly race.
However, Mei Wuyan did not see any foreign races from the Dark Heavenly race in Sea God City.
Instead, he saw many members of the Dark Northern race.
“This Thunder God’s Hammer is useless to me. Although it’s a Grade 4 treasure, its ability is not very unique.”
At this thought, Mei Wuyan didn’t even make a bid. He just watched quietly as the Thunder Snake race competed with the Star Devourer race.
Soon, the bidding for the Thunder God’s Hammer escalated to a high price of
2.8 million Spirit Coins. Ultimately, the Thunder Snake race secured the Thunder God’s Hammer for 2,930,000 Spirit Coins.
“Sneaky.”
Mei Wuyan couldn’t help but complain. It was clear that the Star Devourer race was trying to inflate the price, knowing that the Thunder God’s Hammer was of no use to them.
Next, the Grade 5 or Grade 6 treasures were auctioned again.
Occasionally, Mei Changge would see interesting items and casually bid for them.
As for the so-called Grade 3 treasure, it was the final item of this auction.
At this moment, in the mountain range at the border between the Nether race and the Demon Phoenix race.
Lu Shan carefully approached a dark cave with the Mandrill Guards.
“This must be the sixth tomb!”
Lu Shan wore armor and held a weapon. His tall figure did not affect him much in the forest.
On the contrary, he was like a sprite that had blended into the forest.
“General, the first five tombs are quite small. Aside from some Evergreen Lantern Oil, there are only a few low-grade spiritual items.”
A Mandrill Guard said with a nonchalant expression.
“Yes, they’re all low-grade spiritual items. But don’t forget the patterns drawn on the walls of those tombs and some mysterious footprints.”
Lu Shan looked warily at the entrance of the cave where a few brand new footprints fell into his eyes.
“General, are you saying that the mysterious creature is in this cave?”
When the guards heard Lu Shan’s words, their eyes were filled with surprise. After all, they had explored five tombs and found nothing.
“Yes, awaken two Treants and let them explore the cave.”
Lu Shan nodded and said to his subordinate..
