Inside an unnamed mountain range outside of Jinzhou.
"Lord Zeta, is this black market auction so secretive? Are you sure it's not a trap set by Huaxia?"
At this moment, a group of people from the Black Claw Group Clan, a folk Evolver force in the Land of Wind, gathered by the woods on the riverbank.
"It's hard to say for sure, but now that we've obtained the key to participate in the black market auction, we can't just sit back and give it a try. Besides, we're not the only ones who have the key; even the Huaxia ' Evolver ' fishing tactics will make them suffer."
"Too."
Zeta sneered, "While the overall strength of Huaxia Evolver is indeed formidable, terrifyingly so, don't forget that even if Evolver from all over the world gathered together, the Huaxia Evolver would still be no match! Therefore, it's highly likely that this Water-Repelling Pearl is something that a scoundrel among the Huaxia Evolver truly intends to auction off."
"Lord Zeta, someone is here."
The group fell silent, their gazes sweeping into the distance.
A mysterious figure in a black cloak approached from afar, as if knowing Zeta and his group were there.
"Lord Zeta, shall we make a move?" one of them asked, his eyes questioning.
Zeta shook her head, indicating that she would see how things went.
A moment later, the mysterious man in the black cloak stopped less than thirty meters from Zeta and the others on the riverbank and took out a pendant with a demon face and fangs.
Zeta glanced around, waved to his men, and stepped forward.
Zeta took out a key shaped like a demon's fangs.
After exchanging the coded message, he finally saw the face of the mysterious man in the black cloak. It was an incredibly ugly and ferocious face that almost frightened the rest of the team.
"Follow me closely and keep quiet. Once inside the black market, obey all rules. Anyone who openly breaks the rules will be attacked by the group, resulting in serious injury or even death."
The hoarse, icy voice sent shivers down Zeta's spine and terrified the others.
Zeta and his companions followed the mysterious man in the black cloak through several forests, eventually jumping into a river and entering an underwater cave.
"I didn't expect this black market to be so secretive! Impressive! They're completely shielded from electronic surveillance here. How should I pay later?"
The mysterious man simply tossed him a black market manual.
Meanwhile, throughout the nameless mountain range, many mysterious figures in black cloaks acted as envoys of the black market, Jieyin various Evolver forces and individuals into the black market.
Moreover, the entrances to the black market are not all the same!
In a stone room set up in the black market, Xu San, Xu Si, Xiao Tian, Zhang Chulan, Feng Baobao, Guihua, Zhang Lingyu, and others gathered together.
"When are we going to make a move? Staying here, we can only observe part of the situation outside, and the electronic equipment signals are blocked here, so how will they pay us?"
Xiao Tian chuckled, "Isolating electronic device signals can also be disabled. Don't rush to pay; wait until all the big fish arrive, then we'll take them all at once."
Xu Si frowned and said, "Let's forget about wiping them all out at once. If we really wipe out the Evolver from all the countries, those countries might have to unite and start a war."
"Heh heh, what's there to be afraid of? Is Mu Haiwu threatening us? At worst, I'll just go and destroy everything." Xiao Tian said with a disdainful expression.
Xu San, Xu Si, Zhang Chulan felt their scalps tingle!
That's no small matter! Those strategic-level super-destructive weapons that concern an entire nation—not to mention how secure their storage locations are, they're protected by at least a considerable number of powerful Evolver!
As long as the Evolver remains within the range of a living being, certain major powers' security measures will definitely be able to detect it!
"Unless it were the reincarnation of Di Shitian, such a thing would be very difficult to accomplish," Xu Si said.
"The energy of cosmic rays is enough to Destruction the entire Mount Tai and even the surrounding area stretching for tens of thousands of meters. Senior Di Shitian was truly powerful. It's a pity that he passed away too early. If he could have helped Huaxia, perhaps Huaxia could have truly gained control of global resources."
Xiao Tian secretly curled his lip. No matter how strong Di Shitian, wasn't he still just him?
Time was passing quickly, and many overseas and even domestic Evolver organizations came to the black market Evolver. The appearance of the Water-Repelling Pearl aroused the greed of many Evolver!
Furthermore, Xiao Tian and the others spotted the figures of several of the Ten Elders.
Even among the powerful figures at the level of the Ten Elders, despite their strength, they still cannot freely dive into the ocean. Only a Evolver with special abilities can walk around in the ocean.
"Four of the Ten Elders have shown up! Although their attire is outrageous, it can't hide from the high-end equipment here. Will these people ruin the plan?" Zhang Chulan frowned.
The high-end instrument Zhang Chulan mentioned was actually a magical artifact crafted by Xiao Tian using Divine Machine Hundred Refinements.
"No matter what, the Water-Repelling Pearl cannot be taken away by other Evolver. I've thought of something terrifying!" Xu Si said, frowning.
The appearance of the Water-Repelling Pearl is extremely useful for Evolver, but its strategic value is even greater for those outside of nations!
The Earth's continental surface accounts for only 10% of the total area; 90% is ocean!
The ocean holds countless secrets and treasures, waiting to be discovered, especially the mysterious deep sea!
Imagine if a powerful Evolver, using Water-Repelling Pearl, were to dive into the deep sea and discover unknown ancient technologies, remains, and unknown species, it might bring about earth-shattering changes to humanity.
Xiao Tian's plan was to swindle a bunch of Evolver and their funds from various countries. He didn't think that far ahead, so he never imagined that a Water-Repelling Pearl would cause such a huge change in the world!
Listening to Xu Si's analysis and Xu San's occasional reminders of how serious the situation was.
Xiao Tian felt a chill run down his spine. Could it be that because of his actions, this whole mess would cause not only the global war among Evolver World, but also wars between different countries?
" Brother Tian, this is getting interesting," Zhang Chulan said gleefully.
"Damn it! What's there to be afraid of! Anyway, none of them will get the Water-Repelling Pearl. After all, that thing is fake." Xiao Tian curled his lip.
"Fake?" Zhang Chulan, Xu San, and Xu Si were astonished.
"How do we explain that video?" Xu Si frowned.
Xiao Tian chuckled and said, "It's actually quite simple. Agatha's strength has improved recently, and she has more tricks up her sleeve. That Water-Repelling Pearl is actually just one of the spells I enchanted. The diving and stuff are actually Agatha's doing."
"No way, officer! Is this really fake?" Zhang Chulan was dumbfounded.
" Xiao Tian, tell me the truth, Water-Repelling Pearl really fake?" Xu Si just couldn't believe it. "Yes, it's actually fake." Xiao Tian said shamelessly, without blushing at all.
"Yes, that Water-Repelling Pearl is actually fake." Upon hearing the translation, Agatha quickly explained, recounting her plan with Xiao Tian.
"After all that, the main purpose is actually to transfer Agatha's funds in China!" Xu Si was speechless, but he didn't believe it entirely.
"Yes, that's how it is, hehehe!"
Xiao Tian was in a bind. The Water-Repelling Pearl was real. He had just picked up any magic weapon casually, but he hadn't expected that the Water-Repelling Pearl would be so incredibly valuable to this world.
The ocean still has many unknown areas that have not been explored and developed, and the appearance of the Water-Repelling Pearl is truly a stroke of genius.
Xiao Tian couldn't help but wonder if he was a harbinger of disaster, that he could casually stir up a storm and cause such a global impact.
As time passed, the black market auction rooms became overcrowded. On the first floor, many people were wary of each other, and if anyone made a move, it would inevitably escalate into a chaotic battle.
The auction is about to begin!
The auction items weren't just the Water-Repelling Pearl; there were also broken bowls and plates that Xiao Tian had somehow acquired from some obscure corner of another world.
However, these broken bowls and plates, with their exquisite craftsmanship and the rustic marks of time, have been examined by some Grandmaster who have been amazed by their work.
Among the Evolver were many antique collectors who could immediately recognize the exceptional items at auction. They couldn't determine the exact era of the items, but regardless of the era, these bowls and plates were undoubtedly valuable collectibles!
The previous rounds of auctions, featuring dishes and antique weapons as appetizers, brought Xiao Tian a considerable income.
Tao Tao was envious; two hundred million! That could buy her a lot of designer handbags!
"Radissons and Jetties, here comes our trump card!"
At this moment, the atmosphere on the scene suddenly became tense! Many people's eyes were burning with greed, and they even began to subtly mobilize their internal energy, preparing to snatch it!
"As you all have been waiting for! Our grand finale auction item is this Water-Repelling Pearl!"
Suddenly, four mysterious figures dressed in black cloaks appeared, pushing a small cart.
Inside the car's specially designed glass, arcs of lightning filled the air, clearly indicating a special defensive measure to prevent theft. At the very center was a transparent water jug, containing not only water but also a dark and mysterious jewel.
Water-Repelling Pearl!
This precious pearl exists within the water, forming its own small world. The water cannot be relied upon. The hazy radiance it emits causes many Evolver to gasp for breath and their eyes to turn ferocious.
"Gentlemen, according to our boss's arrangements, the starting price for this precious pearl is 1 billion!"
1 billion!
Many Evolver weren't surprised, after all, this wasn't a tool from ordinary society, but a treasure from the Evolver World!
However, many of these Evolver did not carry much money. Their purpose was clear: to obtain the key to this place and then rob it!
"Hehehe! A mere shard of glass can't possibly stop me, Black Crow Demon!" A cold, mocking laugh echoed, and a cloud of black mist instantly appeared on the high platform, causing many Evolver to gasp in surprise.
"Damn it! This old bastard's asking for it!" one of the Ten Elders sneered.
Black Crow Demon is a member of the dark Evolver World world in China. He is a criminal on the official wanted list and possesses immense strength.
" Thousand Crow World!"
The car was shrouded in black mist, and the windows emitted a piercing sound as if countless sharp objects were colliding with it.
Suddenly! A bolt of black lightning swept through, Black Extermination and enveloping the Black Crow Demon.
"Ah!" The powerful underworld giant, Black Crow Demon, screamed in agony as his Qi layer collapsed, revealing his true form: an old, wrinkled, yellow face covered in wounds. He convulsed, foamed at the mouth, and fainted.
Many of the Evolver gasped in surprise, not expecting the car's protective mechanisms to be so robust!
Moreover, the eruption of dark lightning was so evil and terrifying that it made some of the Evolver realize that this was definitely not the work of the Huaxia Evolver authorities!
All factions were determined! They were determined to Water-Repelling Pearl!
