Crash...
With the sound of breaking water, the octopus monster was pulled out of the water. But upon closer inspection, it was not an octopus monster at all! What was pulled out of the water was clearly just an octopus skin!
After carefully examining the octopus skin, the three concluded their fishing attempt had failed. Either the octopus had shed its skin and escaped, or it was a parasitic creature, with the octopus merely its host.
The operation failed, and Lin Xiaoman continued to investigate, commanding the little shadow demons to search the lake until past 4 o'clock, but they still couldn't find the escaped monster.
After working all night, I didn't catch the monster, but lost two "bodies". It was a serious loss!
After returning to Yalte Town, they had something to eat and went back to their rooms to catch up on some sleep. At noon, when Lin Xiaoman got up, Shao Qi had already gone out to inquire about the news of the Demon Sealing Device, and Long Jiujiu was still sleeping in.
After lunch, Lin Xiaoman went out for a stroll. First, he went to find the administrator of Yalte to inquire about the death row prisoners and bandits.
Perhaps fearing a loss of credibility, the administrator avoided the topic, his words evasive, his tone suffocating. "We in Yalte are peaceful. Aside from the monsters, there are no other problems." "Death row prisoners? Bandits? They don't exist! We don't have such vicious individuals here!"
The administrator had said so, what could Lin Xiaoman do? She could only trust him!
Probably to change the subject and to get rid of Lin Xiaoman, the administrator gave her an auction ticket, saying that he was too busy with official duties to attend, and if she was interested, she could go and take a look.
Lin Xiaoman had no interest in auctions or anything like that, but since he was free anyway, it wouldn't matter if he went to have a look if he had time. The time was one o'clock in the afternoon two days later.
After taking a nap and having dinner, the three of them worked together to make a fishing net. Although Lin Xiaoman felt that using a fishing net was not reliable, there was no other good way except using the fishing net.
After eight o'clock, I opened the blind box first, but unfortunately, I didn't win any. Then I went to the edge of Lake Anna. This time, I don't know if it moved its position or was scared, but even the "bait" could not lure the monster out, and the little shadow demons did not find any monsters at the bottom of the lake.
A fruitless night.
The same thing happened the next night.
After two nights of no results, Lin Xiaoman felt disappointed and decided to relax. How did he relax? Of course, he went shopping!
Coincidentally, the auction started.
This is an auction organized by the Yalte government. It is considered a charity auction, and part of the funds will be used to resettle the villagers of the fishing village who have fled.
Lin Xiaoman sat in the VIP seat, looking at the items on auction. She had to admit that there were no good things, most of them were handicrafts. As for the masters who made them, she had never heard of them at all.
I'm so disappointed. I shouldn't have come if I had known!
If she leaves early now, will it make her seem unloving and impolite, and affect her reputation as a wise and great person?
Well, her reputation isn't that great yet.
Just as Lin Xiaoman was about to leave, the auctioneer said, "The following item is from Lake Anna. It's a once-in-a-century find, and it's absolutely top-notch. Please take a look."
As the box containing the auction item was opened, a black pearl as big as a baby's fist appeared on the red velvet.
After seeing the item clearly - the black pearl, Lin Xiaoman was suddenly stunned. Why does this thing look so much like the water-repellent beads in the copy?
Could this be it?
Whether it is or not, buy it! Buy it! Buy it!
The starting price is 100 silver coins.
Lin Xiaoman directly raised the sign, "10 gold coins."
Lin Xiaoman's high price, which was a show of determination to win the item, immediately intimidated the others, and no one competed with her for the item.
Lin Xiaoman took the photo of the black pearl very smoothly.
After paying the money backstage, Lin Xiaoman received the item. After taking a few glances and inspecting the goods, the payment was completed.
Thinking that there might be other things, Lin Xiaoman patiently sat until the end of the auction. Unfortunately, there was no other product that looked like the copy.
Holding the box containing the pearls, Lin Xiaoman returned to the tavern and went straight into his room. Lin Xiaoman opened the box, took out the black pearls, and held it in front of his eyes to look at it.
There were no counterfeit products in this era, so this was a genuine natural pearl, not an artificial one. Even if it wasn't a magic sealer, as an ordinary pearl, it could fetch a high price in other planes.
Before dinner time, Shao Qi and Long Jiujiu also came back one after another.
At eight o'clock, the usual practice is to open a wave of blind boxes first. Perhaps because they know that someone is collecting things from the soil, a lot of antiques have emerged from the ground. Afraid of missing out, Shao Qi and Long Jiujiu both bought a lot.
Shao Qi opened the blind box first. While his wound was still bleeding, Lin Xiaoman took out the black pearl from his waist bag. "I bought this at the auction today. It looks like a prop from a dungeon. Do you want to try it?"
"Have you completed the copy?" Shao Qi asked first.
"Um."
"Then you can use it." Shao Qi waved his hand.
"If I dodge again, it will be indirect. It's better for you to go straight at it. You try it first!" Without saying anything, Lin Xiaoman took action and pressed the black pearl on Shao Qi's wound.
Then, he was stunned for maybe a second, and then nothing happened.
"Failed." It wasn't disappointment. Instead, Shao Qi felt a little surprised. "But I can be sure that this is it."
"Huh? You already have the Scorpion, but you haven't cleared the level yet?" Lin Xiaoman was surprised.
"How did you pass the level? So many world fragments?" Long Jiujiu was even more surprised.
"Maybe, because it doesn't attract monsters?" Shao Qi had already guessed some of the reasons for his failure. To pull monsters, you need to have hatred. He probably didn't have hatred, so he failed to kill the boss within the specified time.
"Maybe I'm lucky."
Since Shao Qi failed, Lin Xiaoman did not refuse. He poked a small hole between his fingers, squeezed out a drop of blood and pressed it on.
The black pearl immediately glowed.
Success, another magic card is obtained.
After studying for half an hour, Lin Xiaoman understood that when using it, it would become an almost transparent soap bubble, which could be big or small, or even infinitely large.
As for what’s the use?
Lin Xiaoman guessed that it was the same function as the copy, which was to avoid water.
Anyway, the magic card is in hand, so take action!
Taking three of his men with him, a group of six arrived at Lake Anna at night. Unleashing all the little shadow demons, placing them around as "eyes," Lin Xiaoman flung soap bubbles toward the lake. Just as he was considering whether to step into the bubbles like he did in the dungeon, he saw the floating bubbles begin to absorb water, their transparent appearance gradually turning blue at a visible speed...
