"Three point eight million gold coins!" The young master of the Golden Leopard Valley gave a higher price again without any hesitation.
He had already given up on the egg. He could not afford to lose the spiritual space tool too. He would continue to compete over it as long as the price did not reach four million gold coins. His father would definitely be very disappointed in him otherwise.
A big smile spread over Vito's face when the young master called out his price. Everyone fell into silence after that. No one dared to quote a higher price. The price of three point eight million was just too much for them to oppose.
"Hey, Ricky. What if we give a higher bid? Do you think he would give up?" Soar suggested. He looked at Ricky as an evil smile crept across his face.
"I'm not sure about that. If some other guy calls out a higher bid, he will probably continue to go higher. I'm not sure what would happen if he hear my voice. Maybe he would give up! We just paid two million gold coins to win the egg. He would probably think we are really that rich. If he gives up, we will have to pay for it though. The truth is that we've already run out of money, so we can't," Ricky replied seriously.
"So, we'd better not take the risk."
"Ahh, I know what you mean. It's kind of boring to just sit here though. I just wanted to make the Golden Leopard Valley pay more money," Soar said unhappily.
No one made any more bids. Vito also understood that the price of three point eight million might be the highest price anyone could afford to offer for it. Still, he had never anticipated that the price would reach such a high bid.
He then announced in an excited voice, "So, we have a bid of three point eight million gold coins! Now the spiritual space tool goes to the Golden Leopard Valley! Please come to take the tool after the auction is over."
The silence among the crowd brought on by shock lasted for a long time before everyone began to collect themselves. It was an extremely high price to most of the warriors and forces, after all.
"So, the final item we are going to offer is going on auction next!" Vito said in an even more mysterious tone at that point in time. "Those on the third floor may had known what the first and second items were in advance, but I'm sure that none of you have heard anything about what the last item is!"
All the warriors began to whisper with excitement. They were puzzled again upon hearing the news about the last item.
"So, please tell us what on earth it is," someone in another private room on the third floor asked. "How powerful is it compared to the other two items you just sold?"
"My friend, it goes without saying that the last item is super precious," Vito said to the crowd in a confident tone.
Everyone grew more excited then. The last item was more precious than a spiritual space tool at the intermediate stage! What could it be? Could it be some kind of extremely powerful pill?
Those powerful forces who had just failed to win the spiritual space tool were especially curious about it. They had already lost the chance to win the spiritual space tool. Now all of them were desperate to win the last item.
As for the young master and the old man from the Golden Leopard Valley, they did not have much money left because they had already spent almost all of their fortune to win the spiritual space tool. They had probably spent a large amount of the treasury money from the whole Golden Leopard Valley.
"Damn it! The last item is more precious than the spiritual space tool!" the young master cursed in rage.
"Don't worry, young master. He is probably just making a mountain out of a molehill," the old man comforted him calmly.
"Stop being mysterious, and just tell us what it is, please," the warriors watching the auction urged. None of them could wait to know what it might be anymore.
"Ha-ha! As you wish, everyone! This item is slightly different from the former two. We will present it to everyone now," Vito responded before he began to laugh.
Immediately, two maids walked out in front of everyone, carrying a glass tank.
Inside the tank, there was an incomplete skeleton. Judging from its broken appearance, it seemed that it had once been eroded by some kind of strong energy.
"A skeleton! What the hell?" all the warrior cried out in disappointment. They could not figure out what such a skeleton could be used for.
'Maybe this skeleton contains some special power?'
That was the thought that Ricky and some warriors on the third floor had in their heads.
