A transparent three-dimensional map unfolded in Lu Mingfei's mind, and all the details of the entire underground building were clearly visible.

He "saw" the waiter at the backstage of the venue who had already prepared the twelfth lot. He "saw" the waitress carrying the Mogao Grottoes wall walking into a passage lined with heavily armed security personnel on both sides. At the end is the room where the auction items are stored. The crystal mandala he took and the previous items are also in it.

However, what puzzled him was that in the room where the auction items were stored, in addition to the blonde waitress who just walked in, there was also a middle-aged man with a typical Asian face and wearing a Taoist robe standing there.

This middle-aged man looked to be in his forties or fifties. He had two goatees, was wearing a dark yellow Taoist robe, a Taoist crown, and a sword on his waist. He stood in the center of the room and looked at the man who had just left. The waitress entering the door.

The waitress didn't seem surprised that such a Taoist priest appeared in the room. They looked at each other and nodded. Then the middle-aged man dressed as a Taoist priest rushed towards the waitress and stomped on the floor, making an obvious noise.

"ah--"

The waitress let out a high-pitched scream of fear, but her eyes were calm. She even took the initiative to tilt her neck forward slightly and handed it to the middle-aged man. Then, he slashed the side of his neck with a knife. She rolled her eyes and fainted. Inside the glass box and loosen it.

The Taoist priest caught the box with quick eyes and hands, walked around the waitress who fell on the ground, and walked out to the passage outside.

Two minutes ago, in the auction room, the twelfth lot was placed on the display stand, and the screen on the display stand displayed a short word - Sun-Tie Stone.

The Sunstone is a translucent crystal about the size of a child's fist. It is similar to a ball as a whole, but it has many irregular facets. The most amazing thing is that there is a ball of orange-red light inside, and the light group occupies the crystal. Two-thirds of the volume inside the stone is already bright enough in itself, and it is even more eye-catching especially when it is set against the surrounding dim environment.

"Dear ladies and gentlemen, this is our last auction item today!"

The auctioneer taps the hammer on the table rhythmically. This was originally unethical, but it has developed into a tradition of Sotheby's auction house. After a lot is delivered, the auctioneer will tap the table with a hammer to remind the guests attending the auction.

"This is an alchemical masterpiece from the ancient city of Machu Picchu in the ancient Inca Empire," the auctioneer began to tell the origin of this treasure. "The Chilean poet Neruda once described this most glorious city in the Inca Empire - I saw stone The ancient masonry buildings are embedded among the verdant Andean peaks, and the rapids flow from the castle that has been eroded by wind and rain for hundreds of years!"

"Hundreds of years ago, before the Inca Empire was destroyed, Machu Picchu was its most glorious city. The hybrids and wizards throughout the Inca Empire - that is, the alchemists of the time - all yearned for this city. It It is the city with the richest alchemical elements in the Inca Empire! Of course, its original name was not Machu Picchu. The ruthless grinding of time has completely worn away the name of this historical city, so that later generations can only refer to it as nearby A mountain named after it.”

"But!" the auctioneer's voice suddenly rose, "Although the names have been obliterated, some of the crystallizations of the wisdom of the alchemists in this city have been handed down, including the Sun-Tethering Stone - although it cannot tie the sky The sun, but it can tie the sun's light and energy and keep it in one's own body! If the sunlight retained inside is stimulated in the correct way, it can be released intact. For some things that require the participation of sunlight, By conducting alchemical experiments on reactions, alchemists don’t have to limit their testing time to daylight hours!”

There were low sneers in the guest seats - the alchemy stone that can store sunlight is indeed a useful treasure for alchemists, but it is far from qualified to be the finale of an auction.

"Mr. Campbell, if we take a picture of this stone, will it have any other use besides replacing fluorescent light bulbs in the alchemist's laboratory? To deal with gargoyles or vampires at night?"

Someone among the guests joked.

"Mr. Cheeks, I have heard of your bravery when facing Deadpool. If a warrior like you wants to deal with a vampire, then I would recommend a silver bullet. I believe that with your marksmanship, you can easily kill all the vampires." A whole bunch of bullets went into the vampire's throat."

The auctioneer known as Campbell smiled and responded to the joke. There are no vampires or werewolves in this world. There are only a few subspecies of dragons that are afraid of the sun, so the implication of "Mr. Checkers" is that this is a quick tie. If a sunstone could only store sunlight, it would be useless with limited use.

Auctioneer Campbell smiled slightly and said: "If this sun-binding stone only has such a simple use, then it is naturally not qualified to be placed here. In fact, compared to its real function, storing and releasing sunlight is just a Insignificant……"

"ah--"

The horrified screams of women came from the background. Although it was not obvious anymore, the volume was enough for the mixed-race people present to notice it.

The auctioneer's introduction was also interrupted by a sudden scream. A moment of astonishment flashed across his eyes and face, and then was immediately suppressed. It seemed as if he had immediately adjusted his calm and composed mentality after encountering a sudden accident.

However, Lu Mingfei, who had felt something was wrong from the beginning, had been paying attention to the auctioneer's eyes and expression. After the waitress in the treasure room suddenly screamed in terror, the auctioneer's eyes and expressions when he heard the scream The first look on his expression was one of understanding, and then it immediately turned into astonishment.

In other words, he actually expected it?

At the same time, the middle-aged Taoist priest holding the bulletproof glass box strode out of the treasure room. The guards in the passage also nodded to him. Then the Taoist priest held the bulletproof glass box by his side with one hand and raised it with the other hand. Standing up, the guards in front of him crouched down in tacit agreement.

In front of the Taoist priest's raised arms, a large amount of surrounding air was forcefully pulled out, compressed and twisted in a way invisible to the naked eye. A low roaring sound spread out in the twisted air, and then the twisted and compressed air exploded after the sound wave, turning into The cone-shaped shock wave spread forward, and the huge impact caused fine spiderweb-like cracks on the wooden boards on the wall. Several cracks also extended from the top of the passage, and gravel and sand fell rustling down.

Sequence sixty-three, Yan Ling·Yin Lei!

This is the word spirit of the King of Sky and Wind series. It compresses air in a certain area and then explodes to form a powerful shock wave. Its power in a single direction is enough to rival defensive grenades, because when the air is violently compressed It emits a low roar similar to rolling thunder, but in fact there is no light at all, so it is named "Yin Lei".

Because the guards had tacitly agreed to get down in advance, although this thunder caused a lot of damage to the surrounding environment, it did not cause actual damage to any guards. It only caused their combat uniforms to be stained by the falling wall dust. Dirty and looking a little embarrassed.

Then one of the guards on the ground quickly rolled up, raised his gun at the Taoist priest and fired - their guns were filled with steel-core bullets, and although they were powerful, they were not powerful enough to break Sothby's special bulletproof glass, so there was no need to worry about injury. to the collection.

The guard who fired deliberately aimed at the middle-aged Taoist priest's leg. The rotating steel-core bullet tore through his blood-strengthened muscles. Blood spurted out from the wound. The Taoist priest fell unsteadily and fell to the ground. The other guards also pointed their guns. He was holding a middle-aged Taoist priest, but he didn't shoot.

Then there was the sound of chaotic footsteps from the other end of the passage. The auctioneer led some guests from the backstage into the passage and walked quickly towards here.

Two guards came forward with guns and put the muzzles of the guns against the Taoist priest's forehead. The Taoist priest immediately put down the bulletproof glass box in a sensible manner.
