56: Two-Headed Sheep Map

Kong Wen knew that Shen Xi was deliberately raising the price to target him, but he could only bite the bullet and swallow this insult.

He indeed needed Mad Blade Five Demons Slash, and he also didn't want to fight with Shen Xi in such a setting.

Chen Fang was watching from the side the whole time!

"Congratulations, Lord Kong Wen, on successfully bidding for Mad Blade Five Demons Slash!"

The auctioneer's gavel fell, signifying that the item ultimately went to Kong Wen.

As for Shen Xi and Chen Fang, they simply exchanged glances and smiled brightly.

Being able to make Kong Wen suffer a silent loss was already quite good.

The auction continued, and soon it was time for the last item.

The auctioneer looked at the guests with great mystery, not directly revealing what the last item was, but deliberately building suspense.

This piqued the curiosity of many people.

The guests were all quite curious about what the final auction item would be.

"This auction is also coming to an end, and as the grand finale, the value of this last item goes without saying. I believe everyone present will be interested, because it's a map!"

The auctioneer finally revealed what the last item was.

As soon as he said this, many people couldn't help but frown.

Could a mere map be considered a grand finale?

Could the auction house be treating them like fools who haven't seen much of the world?

"An ordinary map naturally cannot pique the interest of our esteemed guests. After all, as prominent figures in Zhu Feng City's Outer City, how could your homes not have maps within a hundred-mile radius? I even believe many of you possess maps of special areas."

"But this one is completely different! This is a map of the Two-Headed Sheep Territory, detailing the distribution of Two-Headed Sheep near Zhu Feng City."

Hearing this, everyone finally showed expressions of excitement and spoke up one after another.

"Two-Headed Sheep, although they are Yao Beasts, the Two-Headed Sheep horns that are a specialty of this race are one of the best Materials for making Cultivation potions."

"Not only that, the unique Body Refining method of the Two-Headed Sheep can also enhance a Martial Artist's strength."

"Besides, Two-Headed Sheep are also a race that likes to collect treasures. Their territory generally hides a large amount of Heaven And Earth Treasure."

"However, the whereabouts of Two-Headed Sheep have always been secretive. Finding their territory is harder than ascending to the heavens, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to survive near Zhu Feng City."

"The value of this map is unimaginable!"

Almost everyone was tempted.

The value of a map of the Two-Headed Sheep Territory is immeasurable.

Someone once conquered a Two-Headed Sheep Territory and transformed from a penniless Martial Artist into one of the richest people in the Inner City.

It is conceivable how much wealth a Two-Headed Sheep Territory contains.

This map is something that even the true big shots in the Inner City would be tempted by, and now it has appeared at an auction.

"Friendly reminder, according to the assessment of the auction house's professionals, the Two-Headed Sheep Territory recorded in this map is only a small tribal level, so the number of treasures contained should not be too much. Of course, the returns are also very considerable."

The auctioneer explained again.

Upon hearing this, many people nodded in agreement.

It should indeed be so.

If it were a map of a large Two-Headed Sheep tribal territory, they wouldn't even have a chance to bid. Those big shots in the Inner City would definitely not let go of this money-making opportunity.

And the auctioneer's words also made many people choose to give up.

This is like opening a blind box.

No one can be sure what is actually inside the blind box.

Perhaps it's an astonishing fortune, or it could be a complete waste of effort, and even require a lot of time and energy, or even the sacrifice of many Martial Artists.

The Two-Headed Sheep Territory is not so easy to attack.

Whether it's making a fortune or losing everything, this will be a big gamble.

Many people dared not gamble.

"I have already explained the pros and cons of this item. How you decide to proceed is up to your individual choice. I announce that the bidding for the last item begins, with a starting price of five hundred million."

As soon as the auctioneer announced this price, it deterred many more people.

It's just a small Two-Headed Sheep tribe, and no one can guarantee how much profit it will yield.

A map alone costs five hundred million, gathering people will cost at least several hundred million more, plus various supplies needed on the journey, such as preventing poisons in the wilderness, or potions for healing and recovery. These expenses are also in the hundreds of millions.

All in all, even if successful with a low bid of five hundred million, the total would still require over a billion.

What's more, five hundred million is just the beginning. Who can guarantee how high the final bid price will go?

It's still the same saying: spending over a billion without a guaranteed return, this business is simply too risky.

Moreover, the Two People present are not fools.

If the returns were truly so astonishing, why would the auction house put the map up for bid? Wouldn't it be better to earn the money themselves?

Thinking of this, more and more people chose to give up.

Of course, many adventurous people also began to stir.

They understood the principle that higher risk means higher reward.

"Six hundred million!"

"Seven hundred million!"

"One billion!"

"..."

The price quickly soared.

In a short while, it was bid up to one point two billion.

And Shen Xi was also somewhat tempted.

The reason he couldn't go home was, on one hand, his concern about the retaliation from Zhao Minsheng's Senator father, and on the other hand, his fear that the Two-Headed Sheep tribe would track the Qi of the Two-Headed Sheep he had killed and attack the city where he resided.

This would bring a disaster to the Outer City.

Now, if he could take the initiative to attack and eliminate the Two-Headed Sheep tribe, he might be able to return home earlier.

Thinking of this, Shen Xi's heart warmed, and he also participated in the bidding.

"Two billion!"

Shen Xi's first bid immediately raised the price to a new height.

As soon as the figure of two billion was announced, many people couldn't help but gasp.

Two billion is just the price of the map, and Shen Xi will still have to spend a lot of money to recruit and equip his forces. Is he crazy?

Is he using so much money just to gamble on earning a high profit?

No wonder this guy dared to use Purple Robe and the Two People to trick them; he's simply a money-grubber, completely obsessed with money.

Many people had the same thought.

They immediately labeled Shen Xi, concluding that he was a money-grubber and also a person with a strong gambling nature.

Even Kong Wen glanced at Shen Xi thoughtfully.
