705 A Simple Auction
“A Chaotic Spirit Stone? How is this possible?”
The ones who were the most shocked were the dozen or so people who were still groaning on the ground.
They had been guarding this area for more than a month to commit their robberies, which meant that they had been with the treasure for more than a month…
It had already been a month yet they had not discovered it. All they knew was how to rob people along the road…
More importantly, now that they were being robbed instead, these four were feeling the most uncomfortable.
“Hehe, I felt it earlier. This place is filled with auspicious qi, and there are auspicious clouds covering the sun in the sky.
“A Heaven-Connecting God-Attracting Lotus couldn’t possibly attract this auspicious qi, so I was sure that there was a treasure buried here.”
After saying that, Qilin smiled triumphantly, her small face looking very proud of herself.
“You managed to see through the auspicious sign. You’re the auspicious beast White Qilin…”
All this time, the minotaur had been lying on the ground and pretending to be dead. Suddenly, he stood up and looked at Lin Mo and the others in disbelief.
There was only one Qilin in the world, and she came from the ancient battlefield. She was the daughter of the ancient divine beast Qilin.
Everyone in the Northern Continent knew that he was now following the human God Devourer Lin Mo.
At the thought of this, he looked at Lin Mo, and the shock on his face intensified.
“I’ve kicked an iron plate, a very hard iron plate…”
The group of people shook their heads bitterly. They had never expected that they would encounter these two people while robbing on the outskirts…
“You’re quite sensible. Seeing as I’ve gained quite a lot, I’ll spare your lives.”
Qilin waved her hand to dismiss these people.
She had always kept Lin Mo’s teachings in mind. She would let anyone who was not a threat go as long as the other party did not cross the line.
“Many thanks, great aunt.”
One after another, more than a dozen people got up. No longer pretending to be dead, all of them bowed with a sincere attitude.
They stole a glance at Lin Mo and were overjoyed to find that the latter had no objections. All of them fled, not daring to stay any longer.
“Let’s go. We’ll continue going deeper. Since we’re still in the outer region, there’s no need to waste time.”
Lin Mo led the group forward. He spread his Kun Peng Wings and flew at extreme speed.
It took them around ten minutes to arrive at the center of the island. They soon found a path and went deeper into the island.
As they went deeper, passing through three islands, the number of people they encountered gradually increased.
The number of corpses piled on the ground had also increased. Some of the corpses even had traces of blood that had yet to dry.
The smell of blood thickened. The Qilin frowned. It didn’t like this environment.
For the sake of treasures, countless living beings were willing to risk their lives, and even their companions would fight over uneven distribution.
They didn’t find any good treasures on the three islands.
The best ones were the two divine medicines, which he had snatched from the group of bandits.
When they arrived at the center of the fourth Island, they stopped.
“There are more than ten paths here, where should we go?” Lin Mo looked at the Qilin.
The latter nodded and pointed out the leftmost path based on her intuition. “Every path is accompanied by auspicious qi.
“This is the one where the smell of blood is the weakest. It’s the only one I can feel.”
If she wanted to know more details, she would have to activate the Eye of Destiny, which would be too much for her.
“Then let’s take this one.”
Without hesitation, Lin Mo led his people in, moving swiftly along the way.
Not long after, they encountered a group of people who looked as if they had almost completely lost their minds in order to snatch the treasures.
Any time they saw a living being, it would immediately attack to snatch the opportunity.
Overwhelmed by their desire, they would probably go crazy and lose themselves in the killing.
“Just let them be. These people won’t survive…” said Lin Mo.
Unless these people were saved by divine medicine, they would eventually lose their way. This was caused by having killed too many people.
One who only knew how to kill without restraint would be the most difficult to cultivate. This was also what he had taught Qilin.
Otherwise, she, who was an enemy of the world, would have her hands stained with even more blood…
After dealing with a group of people, he obtained two half-divine herbs and one divine herb from them.
However, they soon encountered another group, who had also gone almost completely crazy. All they knew was how to kill without caring about anything else.
The final result was that they were killed by Lin Mo and lost their lives.
This island was very large, and there were many treasures on it, but there were also many desperadoes.
As they traveled, they fought and killed along the way, so it took them a full day to reach the depths of the island.
They encountered three forked roads here, and the Qilin chose the one in the middle.
Lin Mo and the others were attacked as soon as they set foot on the fifth Island.
The attackers were all King realm warriors. There were seven of them, and some of them were even from the Hidden Dragon List.
In order to increase the distance between them, these people chose to break through quickly and find the places where the top masters cultivated in seclusion, so that they could take the opportunity to kill them.
They had gone through a tough battle, and Mao Zhu and the other two were injured. If Lin Mo and the Qilin had not taken action, they would have been in serious danger.
“Stop! There’s a dangerous place ahead…”
It was at this moment that Lin Mo suddenly frowned and asked everyone to stop. He realized that something ahead of them was wrong.
The Qilin sensed something and looked ahead. Death energy was surrounding it, and there was no sign of any auspicious energy in the whole forest.
This was a sign of danger. Those who entered would most likely die.
“That’s not right. This path should have a chance…” The Qilin hurriedly said. This shouldn’t have happened.
“Be careful.”
All of a sudden, Lin Mo grabbed the Qilin, who was about to step forward to check and pulled her over.
“Aa-oo…”
A shrill howl came from the forest, and a ghostly figure dashed out, charging at the Qilin.
The ghostly figure was extremely fast, but there seemed to be some mysterious force in the forest that pulled it back.
“What was that?”
Feng Tian was shocked and walked forward. The ghostly shadow was too fast, so he couldn’t see what had happened.
“Someone’s coming out.”
Lin Mo said as he looked into the forest. A group of people scuttled out in a sorry state and left without even looking at Lin Mo and the others.
“You guys wait here for a moment, I’ll go and ask.”
After getting Qilin to protect the three of them, Lin Mo left the group and followed the group that had just left.
It just so happened that he had a few treasures in his hands that he could take the opportunity to auction off…
“Your Excellency, are you trying to take advantage of the situation?”
In the dense forest, there was a young man with an ugly expression on his face. He called for everyone to stop and glared at Lin Mo, who was chasing after him, with an unfriendly expression.
“I don’t have any ill intentions. I just have a few treasures that I would like to auction off…” said Lin Mo as he slowly flew over.
“God Devourer Lin Mo…” The young man was shocked when he saw Lin Mo’s face.
“How about it? These treasures will be auctioned on the spot. Who among you is able to buy them?” Lin Mo waved his hand and took out three divine medicines.
One of them was the fire attribute Heaven-Connecting God-Attracting Lotus.
The most valuable item that caught the young man’s attention was the Chaotic Spirit Stone in Lin Mo’s hand.
“This is the Heaven-class Level 1 Heaven-Connecting God-Attracting Lotus, and the auction begins,” said Lin Mo with a smile.
“Are you really going to sell it?” The young man said. He was already tempted.
Although it was simple and crude, it was still an auction. The buyer and the seller were both willing parties, and the money and goods were settled. All the conditions of the rebate system were met.
Various bids were made. After Lin Mo had successfully completed the trade with the other party, the system’s voice rang out…
