As the auction drew near, the Sea Ghost receptionist opened the door to the premium auction.

Gu Xi and Ai Si followed the Sea Ghost receptionist towards the high-end auction venue. After passing through a spatial portal, Gu Xi and Ai Si arrived at an open space.

Gu Xi stamped his foot and looked at him closely.

The private rooms at the high-end auction differ from those at the regular auctions. Not only are they open spaces, but they also feature large seashells with a pearly white sheen that shimmers on the outside and delicate patterns decorating the edges.

Although the seashells vary in size, they are arranged in a staggered and orderly manner, like floating islands.

Bidders inside the shells can get a clear view of the items on the auction platform below, and can also see the situation of other bidders inside the shells.

The shell that Gu Xi was in, while not the smallest, was still one of the smallest.

Gu Xi focused her gaze on a seashell about 8 meters tall next door and noticed two creatures, one sitting and one standing. The sitting one wore a mask, while the standing one's appearance was completely visible.

Such obvious differences in rank are immediately apparent.

Seeing Gu Xi looking around at the seashells, the sea ghost receptionist worried that she might be unhappy about the differences in their sizes, so she explained, "Super, invincible, and unparalleled guest, these seashells are specially designed according to the size of deep-sea creatures, so you don't need to have any concerns."

Gu Xi nodded slightly in understanding, "I understand, but since these seashells are floating in the air, can't they move around at will?"

Sea Ghost Receptionist: "Yes, but these seashells have fixed routes and won't collide with each other."

Gu Xi asked in surprise, "Are they alive?"

Gu Xi's question was answered affirmatively by the Sea Ghost Receptionist, and then she heard the Sea Ghost Receptionist's explanation.

“Their fixed routes can collide with each other, and they can also move their positions at any time during the auction.”

Gu Xi was slightly surprised after hearing what the Sea Ghost receptionist said. She looked at Ai Si, and Ai Si nodded back. The two were communicating with each other using their mental powers.

"Ais, if we add a mask that isolates mental energy, then this method of movement could increase the chances of avoiding being tracked by other deep-sea creatures, right?"

"Plop plop~ It seems that if all the shells move, it is impossible for the deep-sea creature in one shell to stop all the shells."

While this method is ineffective against sea beasts with mental strength at the level of Ais, it still has some limitations against those who are only SS-level.

The human and the beast exchanged a few more words in private, and the deep-sea creatures on the floating seashell gradually arrived.

Gu Xi looked around and found that these deep-sea creatures were all accompanied by others, and even though they noticed her watching, they didn't care at all and didn't move an inch.

"Pfft~ Almost all of them are SS-rank, with only a few being S-rank." Suddenly, Ais said.

Gu Xi: "Are all the accompanying creatures sea beasts?"

Ais: "Puru, no, some of them are several kinds of deep-sea creatures."

Gu Xi nodded. She had a general understanding of the situation at the auction. At least from the auction, she could see that there were still class differences within some deep-sea tribes.

Although everyone here was S-rank and SS-rank, she didn't feel there was anything wrong with her being an A-rank. After all, she had killed many S-rank sea monsters, and she was confident in facing this situation.

However, her confidence does not mean that all deep-sea creatures are indifferent.

Most of the deep-sea creatures ignored her, but the one that had just entered was different.

The mental energy it emitted towards Gu Xi was filled with naked hostility.

Ais followed the hostility and aimed to freeze the mental energy.

Gu Xi raised her hand to stop him.

"Ais, don't worry about it."

"Purr~"

Gu Xi shook her head. "Unless the other side makes the first move, we shouldn't make any moves."

The hostility that Gu Xi and Ai Si could both notice was naturally also noticed by the Sea Ghost host.

Sea Ghost Receptionist: "A truly exceptional and unparalleled guest. Don't worry, this kind of thing happens all the time."
