Hehe, a group of otherworldly guys. Don't get caught again.
At this moment, the voices in the auction house gradually died down. Seeing this, Lohr waved his hand, signaling the people to be quiet.
"Then, the starting price for this supreme treasure passed down from the distant Sanctuary is 800 million gold coins!"
…
The Volcano Auction House was located halfway up the Dragon-shaped Mountain Range. It was remote but prosperous.
As for why it was called the Volcano Auction House, it was because the Dragon-shaped Mountain Range was a famous active volcano.
Every time it erupted, it would more or less spew out the rare minerals and even some rare treasures from the bottom of the volcano.
There were also many adventurers and scavengers. Every time the eruption ended, they would swarm over like insects and scavenge for scraps.
"There haven't been any treasures recently." A young man sighed and looked at the scavengers on the mountain. This young man was dressed in black. His hair was red, and his two pointy ears were very eye-catching. The most eye-catching thing was that he had a long and thin whip on his waist.
His companion looked at him and said, "Don't worry about it. Xuan Ce, even if there were any treasures, they would have been taken by the Volcano Auction House."
This man was wearing a tight yellow windbreaker and long boots. Like the red-haired man, he had two conspicuous ears. On his back, he carried a large and precise flintlock.
Hearing this, the people around them hurriedly asked them to be quiet.
"Hey, you don't look like you're from here."
"Let me tell you, there are not only scavengers around, but also Babieka's lackeys and assassins."
"Even if you find any treasures, they will take them away."
"So, don't count on it."
Xuan Ce was not convinced. "Dragon-shaped Mountain Range is so far from the Babieka Kingdom. How can the assassins take care of us?"
One of the scavengers who looked older said, "Young man, you don't know what happened in our country recently. The assassins are the direct subordinates of Babieka's first commander, Zaro. Not to mention worthless scavengers like us, even the small countries and tribes around Babieka … For example, the small country with rich resources, the Country of Black Sand, is still a country no matter how small it is. But so what? Weren't they all killed by the assassins and massacred in the city? Not a single person was left alive! "
Xuan Ce said in surprise, "There's such a thing?"
Xuan Ce wanted to ask more questions, but he was stopped by his brother. "Xuan Ce, let's go."
"Big Brother Shouyi …"
Xuan Ce, who was dragged away, was very dissatisfied. As he walked, he complained, "I still want to go to that famous volcano auction house to take a look."
Baili Shouyue's expression didn't change as he slowly said, "Let's go quickly. Don't make Big Brother Kai wait too long."
Although Xuan Ce was very unwilling, he listened to his elder brother very much. Just like that, the two of them quickly descended from the crater.
"Let's go. It seems like we won't be able to get anything good today."
A burly man called out to the others.
"After we go down the mountain, let's go to the nearby black town and enjoy ourselves for a few days. Hahaha."
Hearing the burly man's words, the surrounding people couldn't help but laugh excitedly.
Just as everyone was packing their bags and preparing to go down the mountain, the ground suddenly shook slightly.
"Wait! You guys … did you guys feel the earthquake just now? "One of them asked. His expression was somewhat panicked.
Hearing this, everyone was stunned. Then, they said, "How is that possible? Could it be someone's skill?"
This person was still worried. He looked around and hurriedly said, "Look, they felt it too!"
Everyone looked around and found that the scavengers at the top of the dragon-shaped mountain range were all looking at the crater not far away with a frightened expression.
Everyone held their breaths and quietly looked at the crater. No one dared to move.
Rumble rumble —
Rumble rumble —
Gradually, a deafening sound came from underground. This sound became more and more intense and loud!
The ground also began to tremble slightly.
Crack — Crack —
The ground suddenly cracked under some people's feet. Crack crack — It spread all the way to the crater.
The sound suddenly disappeared.
Everyone stared blankly at the crater and was about to relax.
But in the next moment, a dazzling pillar of lava shot up into the sky. Boom —
Everyone was thrown into disarray by this sudden tremor.
Then, this pillar of lava that was at least ten meters in diameter began to burst rapidly and burst!
In an instant, the sky turned red. Black smoke billowed, mixed with lava rocks that filled the sky, and attacked the ground like sand!
Only then did everyone react.
"The volcano is erupting!!"
"Run!!!"
"Ah … Help!!!"
"Help! It hurts, it hurts! Ahhh, it's so hot!! "
"Cough cough … Ah … It hurts …"
…
The fatal meteor volcano was like hell. It destroyed the top of the mountain, and the crater was still spewing out large amounts of lava.
The scavengers were running for their lives. Some of them were adventurers, so their chances of survival were higher. Most of the people here were ordinary scavengers. How could they avoid the meteors that filled the sky?
Screams, burning sounds, crashing sounds, and explosions were incessant.
Most of the scavengers were burned to ashes by the lava. There were also some who ran faster, but were still engulfed by the rolling volcanic smoke. Their lungs were corroded, and they did not have long to live.
…
On the other side, at the volcano auction house halfway up the mountain, the bidding had reached a climax.
"1.2 billion gold coins!!!"
"1.3 billion gold coins!"
"1.5 billion!!!"
…
The crowd at the auction house seemed to have gone crazy. They shouted loudly, and the entire auction house shook.
Most of the crowd did not have that much money.
They shouted for fun. Anyway, this was the fun of auctions.
Reynolds was stunned as he listened to the bids around him. He felt that everything was unreal. He struggled with the ropes on his body and realized that he had no strength at all.
Earl Lohr's face was red, and he shouted with his bell-like voice, "Silence! Silence!! Marshal Zaro of the Babeka Kingdom bids 2 billion gold coins!!! "
With this, the auction house finally quieted down. They were lucky enough to witness a bid of 2 billion gold coins that they had never seen in their lives.
Zaro sat in the private room, his expression gloomy. His subordinate beside him knew what the marshal was thinking and hurriedly said, "Those ants outside are just making a ruckus. Marshal, please don't be angry."
Zaro nodded and said, "In my territory, everything belongs to me."
