Douluo: The blue phoenix cries loudly, and the wind whistles through the air

Hunter said, "Everyone, let's see if there are any money shops or pawnshops!"

Compared to above-ground cities, underground cities are much better preserved.

As Wu Qi previously stated, there is likely an underground trading market here.

Once found, it will surely contain a great deal of treasure.

Unfortunately, the culture here is completely different from the mainstream culture of Douluo Continent, so it is impossible to pinpoint the exact location of pawnshops and other places based on experience. We can only search for them one by one.

After an incense stick had burned, Wu Qi stopped in front of a building.

He called out, "Come over here, take a look around."

This place used to be an auction house, but this auction house had two entrances, one underground and one above ground.

At this moment, they arrived at the underground entrance.

Even after being buried for tens of thousands of years, the decorations in the auction house lobby still exude an air of luxury.

The crystal chandelier at the top crashed to the ground, scattering crystals everywhere.

Chen's face showed greed as he reached out and pulled her into his arms.

After doing all this, she looked up and noticed everyone's gaze.

She protected the crystal and scolded, "You lot, we're not short of crystals here, there's no need to stare at me like that."

Hunter gave a wry smile and said, "Captain, there's no need to lose the big picture for a small gain."

"This used to be an auction house; its internal vault has plenty of crystals. Why take so much now when you'll just lose it later?"

"Moreover, I think what Young Friend Wu said makes sense. Gold and silver treasures are useless in the Lost Land. It would be better to find some soul tools that can help with survival."

Mr. Chen gave an awkward smile and casually placed the crystal in a corner to the side.

If she is not satisfied with the next treasure, or if she obtains a large-capacity storage soul tool, she would be happy to come back and take it away.

Wu Qi had been to the Tiandou Auction House, and in terms of scale, the two were roughly equal.

The large interior space undoubtedly increases the difficulty of finding the treasure room.

So the group split up to search, agreeing to send a message to the others as soon as they found the treasure.

Normally, treasures are kept in underground vaults.

The main auction venue will inevitably have a passageway leading to one of the treasure rooms, making it convenient for staff to bring the treasures to the front of the stage.

While the others instinctively thought of finding the underground treasure vault, Wu Qi found the auction venue instead.

Pushing open the heavy door, a cloud of sand and dust billowed up.

Inside the main venue, a stench from tens of thousands of years ago assaulted the senses.

Upon closer inspection, hundreds of corpses lay scattered throughout the venue.

Apparently, an auction was taking place here while the city was buried by sand.

Because the building was extremely strong, it did not collapse, but when sand blocked the entrance, all the guests inside the venue were trapped and died.

Walking through it, Wu Qi discovered many human remains.

Clearly, during their time trapped, some people resorted to cannibalism in an attempt to survive.

It's a pity that by the time the "rescue" personnel arrived, tens of thousands of years had passed.

Even if someone survives, over the long years, they will have long since turned into a handful of dust.

Having witnessed countless bloody scenes in the killing city, Wu Qi remained completely unmoved.

Before searching for the passage behind the auction stage, he began looking for traces of treasure among the piles of bones.

Those qualified to enter the auction house are either wealthy or of high status.

Among the soul tools of these people were many priceless treasures. It's just a pity that this place wasn't buried by sand and soil, and with the presence of air, many treasures had long since decayed and lost their original function after tens of thousands of years of vicissitudes.

Wu Qi found quite a few soul tools, but only one was usable.

Moreover, its internal space is extremely unstable, so extreme caution must be exercised when retrieving the treasure.

……

Qian Gu Chang Kong and Chen Ping walked together. After some analysis, they concluded that the treasure vault must be buried in a hard-to-detect corner.

Therefore, the ancient sky summoned the Panlong Staff martial spirit and took on the work of a demolition team.

Chen Ping then assisted him, using his soul skill to block the transmission of sound.

But they seem to have forgotten that the sound may disappear, but the fluctuations of soul power will not.

However, since their soul power levels were not high, they were not sensitive to this.

But don't forget, this auction house leads to the ground.

Among the exiles who search for treasures in the outside world, there are many who are sensitive to the aura of soul power.

Noticing the commotion here, especially since it was coming from underground, it's hard to guarantee that no one will suspect the existence of treasure.

Soon, Chen engaged in combat with the exiles who had come after hearing the news, and the commotion attracted even more attention.

At the auction, Wu Qi "rescued" most of the "treasures" from the soul tool.

Most of them were gold and silver treasures that Wu Qi was not interested in, along with some books with unknown writing and an unidentified dark purple scepter.

There was no soul power fluctuation emanating from this scepter, but the space inside it was completely shattered after it left the soul tool.

Therefore, it's hard not to suspect that this scepter is the fundamental reason why the soul tool has remained intact for tens of thousands of years.

However, this item has never appeared in any records on the mainland, and Wu Qi did not know what its function was, nor did he dare to easily put it into the soul tool.

Next, he went up to the auction stage and reached into the passage behind him.

At the end of the passage, you'll find a hidden treasure room.

Unfortunately, most of the treasures here are completely damaged, and it is even impossible to identify what they are.

Moreover, when it was buried here, the auction was already coming to an end, most of the auctioned items had fallen into the hands of private sellers, and along with the damage to the soul tools, they disappeared forever from the continent.

Before long, he noticed the commotion of a battle.

Not long ago, he sensed the soul power fluctuations of the Eternal Sky, but attracted by the scepter, he put it aside.

Looking back now, he can guess that the exiles were attracted there.

Without a second thought, Wu Qi tucked the scepter behind his back and covered it with his robe before hurrying off to provide support.

……

These exiles are quite powerful, and as their numbers increase, the four of them alone, including Qian Gu Chang Kong, simply cannot hold them off.

Chen was unaware that it was the work of Qian Gu Chang Kong and his companion. He only felt that his luck was terrible; before he could find the treasure, he had run into this group of exiles.

However, they occupied advantageous terrain, and the exiles were unable to break through their defenses in the short term.

"Where's that kid Wu? Could he be hiding away and hoarding treasure?" Chen couldn't help but curse.

Qian Gu Chang Kong frowned and said repeatedly, "Impossible. Even if Brother Wu abandoned us and left, he would never keep the treasure for himself."

Chen sneered, "You're quite carefree. He's probably long gone by now."

She really misunderstood Wu Qi on this point.

There was no chance of winning a direct confrontation with the overwhelming number of exiles.

Moreover, as time goes on, even if they manage to hold their ground, there's no guarantee they won't attract powerful individuals. (End of Chapter)
