[Full-time expert umbrella repair] How to survive in the wild with your enemies

To the extreme, it is really not like an auction venue where rich and powerful people gather, but more like a villa somewhere for a down-and-out nobleman.

Could it be that they got it wrong and it was really just a private collection auction?

Su Muqiu frowned, showing a bit of confusion, Fu Hao didn't miss this expression: "Hahaha, it's much more than that, it's not here yet."

Su Muqiu said: "More than that?"

The two attendants guarding the door of the villa did not guide the guests to get off the car. Instead, they walked to the side of the small villa and unscrewed the fence entrance leading to the underground garage.

A small convoy of five vehicles slid into the driveway, and the surroundings became dark. There was actually a whole natural underground cave under the small villa!

The wall of the karst cave is rugged and weird, and all kinds of strange-shaped stone pillars stand alone. This uncanny scenery has been excavated and built into a smooth road. The ground on both sides of the road is inlaid with lights to guide the direction. Outside the strange rocks, the entire ride was incredibly smooth, making it impossible to think of being underground at all.

The underground karst cave stretches for a kilometer. After driving slowly for a few minutes, the light suddenly turned on. Su Muqiu was stunned when he saw the scene ahead. Very spacious and tall hinterland.

What surprised Su Muqiu was not the karst cave itself, but the scenery that was incompatible with this natural karst cave: an exquisite arch carved with vines, flowers and plants, and a statue of a goddess more than ten feet high beside the door!

The tall goddess looked pitiful and indifferent, surrounded by plump and fluffy huge wings. She held a sanxian in one hand and a trident in the other. She bowed slightly and stared down, as if examining all the souls passing through this door.

The extravagant crystal chandeliers and resplendent decorations can be vaguely seen inside the door.

Su Muqiu was dumbfounded. It's not that he hasn't seen this kind of thing before. All kinds of god statues are not uncommon in the Federation. They even have special modules to display all kinds of earth-shattering artistic creations. He didn't expect that the technological level of this planet has reached this level. , to be able to create such a statue of a goddess in an underground cave, and even light it up.

That large chandelier is even electrified!Electricity can be connected to this underground cave!

Su Muqiu's mood was agitated for a moment, and his heart was full of excitement. He subconsciously looked at Ye Xiu who was beside him, and the other person also stuck to the car window, staring at the goddess statue.

Fu Hao seemed very satisfied with the dumbfounded expressions of both of them: "How about it, it's spectacular!"

"Spectacular." The two nodded their heads sincerely.

"This auction has sprung up in recent years. It has branches all over the continent. The people behind the scenes are powerful, and no one knows the details... The most powerful inference is that it was jointly founded by dignitaries from several countries." Satisfied, he introduced a few more words in a good mood, "It is said that there are statues of goddesses outside every auction site, so it is called the goddess auction."

A lot of vehicles were parked in the underground cave, which looked like a famous car appreciation meeting. It was obvious that they arrived not early, and they might even be a little late.

The rich man is quite confident, and he is not nervous at all.The waiter somehow verified the authenticity of the rich man's invitation letter—the cufflink, and led them into the auction venue.

Stepping on the soft and thick crimson velvet carpet, Ye Xiu noticed that two of the four bodyguards brought by the rich man at the market at the beginning turned a corner in the middle, carefully carrying a medium-sized glass cabinet.The glass cabinet was covered with a black velvet cloth, and the inside could not be seen clearly. It must have been an auction item brought by a rich man.

What is the auction item that makes people not hesitate to hire a team to intercept and kill it halfway, and walk the auction with style, so that the rich man is so confident?

Su Muqiu tried to guess, and muttered, "Hey, Ye Xiu, what do you think he brought to the auction?"

"Huh?" Ye Xiu tilted his head, pulling at his neckline with one hand.

Of course, this dress is not tailor-made, it looks like a slim fit on Su Muqiu, and it is not bad if it falls on Ye Xiu, but he seems to feel too stuffy, so he unbuttoned a few buttons and pushed the sleeves to the small On the arm, a section of wrist was exposed.After Su Muqiu whispered to him, Ye Xiu stepped forward, smiled and said to the rich man, "Hey, boss, can you tell us what you're selling today?"

Ask so straight? !

Su Muqiu wanted to glare at Ye Xiu, but he didn't expect his eyes to sweep away, and suddenly stopped on the small piece of Ye Xiu's exposed chest and collarbone, which was set off by the slightly open dark blue collar, which was frighteningly white and indistinct.He was like a demon, unable to look away for a long time.

"..." Su Muqiu opened his mouth, but couldn't speak after all, he just swallowed his saliva and licked his dry lips.

"Hahaha." The rich man didn't care much about Ye Xiu's question, and smiled a little smugly, and said generously, "It's a set of rare skeleton specimens, very complete, I'm sure this will be the finale of today's auction one."

Ye Xiu: "Oh? What kind of skeleton is so amazing?"

"I'm afraid you haven't heard of it."

The rich man was complacent: "I spent a lot of energy and lost a lot of hands to bring out a Thunder Bone Leopard skeleton from the depths of the Shadow Continent."

"Thunderbone Leopard?"

Upon hearing the leopard, Ye Xiu became a little curious, thinking that the big cat he raised might be the next-door relative of the snow leopard.

Ye Xiu elbowed Su Muqiu, who was in a daze, "I've never heard of it before, do you know what kind of creature it is?"

According to the usual practice, Su Muqiu would pick up the topic and also showed curiosity. The two sang and sang together to get some more information from the rich man. They had cooperated with Patriarch Feng a few times in the tribe, and they were very proficient.

However, Su Muqiu was taken aback, unable to react in time, always felt that the position of being elbowed was particularly awkward: "Ah? Ah... what? What leopard?"

Ye Xiu tutted his head and shook his head: "Be serious, why are you staring blankly, we are on a mission."

To others, Ye Xiu was referring to the bodyguard mission, but only Su Muqiu knew that what Ye Xiu was talking about was their real purpose, to enter the black market auction and collect information.

Su Muqiu, who had recovered his sanity, forced himself to look away, but when Ye Xiu shook his head and sighed, he caught a glimpse of a small piece of neckline between his collar and a dark mark on the back of his neck due to untimely treatment. It's... the tooth marks that Su Muqiu bit down on himself.

His eyes slipped down again unconsciously, but fortunately he woke up quickly this time.

Su Muqiu slapped himself violently in consciousness.

"Look at it." The rich man didn't take it seriously. Su Muqiu felt a strong panic for no reason, so he heard the second part of his sentence, "This is the first time I come to the auction."

The author has something to say:

Su: Is this...the reason why people need clothes? (suddenly realize)

That's right, Brother A Wensu has such a face and long legs, but he misses being single so far, relying entirely on his strength

48, 39-down

Su Muqiu shook his head angrily a few times, and decisively stretched out his hand to wrap around Ye Xiu. His arm firmly covered the back collar of the other party's neck, and Ye Xiu almost lost his breath from being strangled.

In order to change his mind, Su Muqiu turned his gaze back to the bodyguards responsible for transporting the auction items.They entered from the backstage of the auction, the waiter opened the door, a gust of wind blew by, and a corner of the black velvet fluttered leisurely. In an instant, Su Muqiu saw clearly the specimen of the Thunderbone Leopard in the glass cabinet—the bone shape was like a leopard, the body was The size is like a dog, with lightning-like protruding bumpy bony horns on both sides of the skull, and bony spurs the size of a human thumb protruding from the back. ... the tribes are called Eviscerates, and come out one at a time.

Su Muqiu was speechless for a moment: "..."

"..." Ye Xiu, who also saw it, was silent for a while, then shrugged and said, "Okay, it's really hard to catch such a one without hurting the bones."

Su Muqiu turned to the rich man, his eyes were sincere, and he was more straightforward than Ye Xiu: "Boss, how much is this thing worth?"

Eviscerate has a pretty cool name in civilized society, and its value is also rising steadily.Ye Xiu strongly suspects that once the auction reserve price comes out, Su Muqiu may go berserk and spend countless nights rummaging through boxes and cabinets just to put together a skeleton jigsaw puzzle.

The two were mixed in the bodyguard team, and the behavior of the ground turtle that had never seen the market looking around was particularly eye-catching. Fortunately, after changing the clothes, the temperament gained points, and the short blades and guns pinned to the back of the waist by the two were upright It's quite intimidating, otherwise he should be dragged out by the bald captain of the bodyguard team for further education.

A group of people entered a door inlaid with emeralds on the second floor.

From the private room, you can clearly see the first floor and the auction display stand. At this time, the auction of an oil painting has just ended. Except for a few people on the first floor who showed interest, there is no movement in the private room on the second floor.Oil painting auction prices are neither high nor low.

"It's past halftime." Before leaving, the waiter said.

"Then, all distinguished guests, I believe that everyone who came to the Goddess Auction tonight is looking for a series of breathtaking and rare collections, and they all have one thing in common. That's right! That is——"

The auction host is a middle-aged man with two beards. I don't know if he really can't speak, or he just jumped from the circus. He introduced passionately:

"—Shadow Continent!"

"Shadow Continent is the biggest mystery on the continent that has not yet been solved. The place where human beings stop is covered with an impenetrable veil. All truths are still sleeping quietly in the shadows..." The host said mysteriously .

Ye Xiu asked in a low voice, "Do you think this series of provocative introductions is an official statement, or is this person playing freely?"

Su Muqiu: "Hush!"

Ye Xiu was amazed, this guy lived in the 'Shadow Continent' for a few months, and now he can hear something new and full of interest.

"As you all know, the Shadow Continent is vast and boundless, and it is jointly managed by sixty or seventy neighboring countries. Everyone wants to
