Chapter 164 The Third Strange Fire Remains

Queen Medusa, who was standing beside Xiao Chen, watched with her beautiful lavender eyes as the items appeared on the crystal table one by one, shining brightly. She said in a delicate voice, "I didn't expect that there would be so many treasures in the Black Horn Region."

The auction was going on. On the crystal stage, an old man carefully held up a scroll made of ancient jade and faced the audience with a mysterious look on his face.

"Everyone, I am afraid that the items that need to be auctioned next have been seen by few people now. This is also a fighting skill, but due to the loss of the production method, it is extremely rare now."

"Flying Fighting Skill: Thunderbolt Skywings!"

The old man shook his hand, and the scroll slid down suddenly, revealing a pair of miniature black bat wings that looked a bit spooky and evil. They appeared in everyone's sight.

"Flying fighting skills?" Xiao Chen murmured as he looked at the pitch-black bat wings on the stage.

Although he doesn't think highly of this flying fighting skill, he can auction it off and give it to people around him.

After all, flying fighting skills are still a rarity in the Gama Empire.

“Haha, I believe you all know how rare flying fighting skills are nowadays. So, after our negotiation, this scroll of 'Thunder Bat Sky Wings', if ranked according to levels, should be considered a low-level Xuan-grade flying fighting skill. Therefore, its reserve price is set at one million. Now, the auction begins.” The old man said with a smile on his face on the crystal stage.

"One million and three hundred thousand!"

On the other side, Fan Ling withdrew his gaze and coldly announced a price that caused an uproar in the auction hall.

At this price, the auction hall was quiet for a while, and then a charming giggle sounded:
"Master Fan Ling is really generous, but we at the Sky Snake Palace are also quite interested in this Thunder Bat Sky Wing, so I'm really sorry, it's 1.4 million."

Xiao Chen, who was about to make an offer, looked in the direction of the sound and saw several hot women in the other corner of the auction hall. One of them had a slender body curled up in a furry chair, with a soft waist, as seductive as a water snake.

"Hehe, it turns out to be Elder Qing from the Heavenly Snake Mansion. I didn't expect that you would also participate in this auction."

On the other side, Fan Ling, who heard the charming voice, was stunned at first, and then said with a forced smile.

"There's nothing we can do. Some things can't be hidden, right? Young Sect Master?" Elder Qing of the Sky Snake Mansion said charmingly.

Soon, Fan Ling from the Blood Sect began to raise the price, and Elder Qing from the Sky Snake Palace also raised the price. Other forces also occasionally intervened to fan the flames.

In just a short while, the one million Thunder Bat Sky Wings increased to more than 1.7 million in the blink of an eye.

"One million and nine hundred thousand!"

After taking a deep breath, a sickly redness appeared on Fan Ling's pale face, and he stared at the charming Elder Qing with a sinister look.

"Young Sect Master Fan Ling is really generous. One million nine hundred thousand. I hope you will have enough funds in the end." Hearing this, Elder Qing shrugged and curled his lips.

When Elder Qing gave up the bidding, a smile finally appeared on Fan Ling's pale face, but the next moment, the smile froze on his face.

Because Xiao Chen, who had been watching the show for a long time, offered a price, "Two million!"

Xiao Chen's offer attracted the attention of many people. When people thought that the Thunder Bat Sky Wing would belong to Fan Ling, someone suddenly intervened and snatched it away.

Fan Ling was also stunned. He looked towards where Xiao Chen was with a sinister look and said, "I am Fan Ling from the Blood Sect. I hope you will give me some face."

The implication was that asking Xiao Chen to give him the Thunder Bat Sky Wings would reveal his identity and was also a threat, because in the Black Horn Region, the Blood Clan was considered a hegemon.

"Haha, you are the young master of the Blood Sect. If that's the case, then I will give up this item." Xiao Chen laughed when he heard that. Xiao Chen thought to himself, "Okay, let you bid. Anyway, after you leave the auction house, everything you bid will be mine."

Fan Ling was not surprised to hear this, because the identity of the Blood Sect was very useful. He thought that it was the identity of the Blood Sect that made Xiao Chen afraid, so he gave up.

He clasped his hands and said, "Thank you very much, sir. Two million, one hundred thousand!"

No one bid this time, and finally the Thunder Bat Sky Wing was bought by Fan Ling for 2.1 million.

The auction continues.

"The next item to be auctioned is an ancient piece of cloth that is quite old. As for what its purpose is, even we don't know. However, after careful analysis by our auction house, it seems to be some unknown treasure map."

The white-haired old man bent down and took out a silver plate, then carefully lifted the brocade cloth on the silver plate. Suddenly, a tattered piece of ancient cloth appeared in everyone's sight.

After seeing the torn piece of cloth, the auction house was silent for a while, and the whole place suddenly booed.

After the white-haired old man talked about the mystery of the ancient cloth for a while, he said, "According to the setting, the minimum price of this piece of tattered cloth is 100,000 gold coins. Now, let the auction begin."

"One hundred and ten thousand!" As the old man finished speaking, Xiao Chen was the first to make an offer.

When Xiao Chen finished speaking, some sneers were heard from all around.

"Is this guy mentally ill? He spent 110,000 yuan to buy a piece of junk that he has no idea what it is used for?"

On the other side, Fan Ling glanced at Xiao Chen who was quoting the price, and felt a little puzzled. After pondering for a while, he said, "One hundred and twenty thousand!"

"Fifteen thousand!" Xiao Chen continued to raise the price.

Queen Medusa, who was standing beside Xiao Chen, looked at the ancient and tattered piece of cloth, her beautiful lavender eyes gleaming with a strange light, and thought, "Could this really be a treasure map?"

"Two hundred thousand!" Seeing Xiao Chen continue to raise the price, Fan Ling hesitated for a moment and then raised the price as well.

At this moment, many people around him were looking at him as if he were an idiot or a madman, causing the corners of his mouth to twitch.

"Two hundred and ten thousand!" Xiao Chen didn't think it was a big deal, because he knew the importance of this ancient and broken film.

When Fan Ling moved his lips as if he was about to make an offer, he glanced and saw more people looking at him, and his face became gloomy.

He felt that Xiao Chen might have seen something from the ancient piece of cloth.

"Young Sect Master, don't forget our main business." said an old man next to Fan Ling.

Hearing this, Fan Ling stopped bidding. He looked at Xiao Chen suspiciously and said, "After the auction, send someone to keep an eye on him. I want to see what the piece of cloth does."

The old man next to him nodded.

The white-haired old auctioneer on the crystal stage, seeing that no one was bidding, struck the hammer three times, ending this round of auction and starting the next round.

Xiao Chen bought the ancient piece of cloth for 210,000 yuan.
