Chapter 214 Trap
Zhou Chen was determined to get it. Although it was only half a map, the starting price was 100,000 taels. Zhou Chen did not rush to bid, but let the other monsters present bid first.

After a round of fierce bidding, the price was raised directly to a high price of 500,000 taels. At this point, many people had given up bidding, and only a few people were still insisting and unwilling to let go.

Seeing that the time was almost right, Zhou Chen directly shouted "Six hundred thousand taels". The whole audience was shocked when he said this. Several families who had originally thought that they had a sure win became hostile to this guy who suddenly appeared.

However, Zhou Chen ignored them. Their identities were hidden after entering the Monster City. Who would know that he had taken the photo after they left?

After hearing the price of 600,000 taels, two of the few remaining families gave up the bidding, but two still persisted.

Until the amount reached 800,000 taels, another person gave up. At this time, the only competitor spoke up to persuade him, "Brother, this is only half of the map. It's useless even if you get it. Why don't you just give up? Fighting like this will only hurt both sides."

Zhou Chen turned his head and looked at him, then said directly, "Nine hundred thousand taels."

He was extremely angry when he heard that Zhou Chen continued to raise the price, but he had no intention of raising the price anymore. After all, nine hundred thousand taels were just for half a map, which was not worth it to him at all.

Just when the thing was about to be obtained, someone suddenly shouted "One million taels".

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present looked over there. Zhou Chen was so angry at this moment. He was almost getting it, but who knew this would happen. It was impossible for him to increase the price at this moment, because he only had 900,000 taels at most, and he couldn't afford even one more tael.

I had no choice but to watch this thing fall into the hands of others and think of other ways.

After the auction, Zhou Chen paid 500,000 taels of silver and took his auction items. To his surprise, the auctioneer actually had a disposable magic weapon that could capture living things. This magic weapon was an eyeball-sized bead, which was very convenient to carry.

After leaving the auction house, Zhou Chen followed the monster from a distance. During this time, his Eye of Insight was always open and never closed, for fear of losing the monster.

This monster was none other than the guy who got the half of the map in the end. Not only Zhou Chen, but other monsters obviously had the same idea as Zhou Chen and were following this guy from a distance.

During this time, a monster actually came forward and took the initiative to talk to him, wanting to temporarily form an alliance with him. His purpose was that he was afraid that he could not defeat the enemy alone, so he wanted to join forces to deal with that guy. Afterwards, the two of them could refer to the map together.

There was more than one monster that had this idea. Through the Eye of Insight, Zhou Chen discovered that there were many monsters gathered around. They were traveling in groups of three or five. Although they were relatively far away from the man, their purpose was obvious.

The man walking in front naturally noticed the abnormality behind him, but he was not afraid. No monster in this monster market dared to rob the treasures.

He had no intention of getting rid of the monsters, so he just walked straight to the exit, and then stepped into the crack in the void without hesitation. The moment he went out, all the monsters behind him rushed to the exit.

Since they were no longer in the same time and space, Zhou Chen could no longer monitor the man through the Eye of Insight the moment he left.

The exit is now blocked by monsters, so it is not his turn to get out for the time being. With the mask covering him, he no longer hides his strength and immediately tears open a crack in the void and walks in.

When he came out again, he had arrived at an unfamiliar place. Although this was also a town, it was no longer Qiushan City. He didn't know where it was exactly, but the only thing he was sure of was that it was still within the Qiushan area.

At this time, the exit of the Monster Market was a hundred meters away. A large number of monsters were flying out of it, and the moment they came out, they chased in one direction.

Through the observation of the Eye of Insight, the person running in the front was the one who took the map before. Such a big commotion naturally alarmed the strong men in the city, but they did not choose to intervene. After all, the monsters rushing out of the monster market were not weak, and they would not provoke them casually.

Zhou Chen also followed the monsters from a distance. That person did not run into the city, but flew out of the city.

Zhou Chen didn't think much and just followed the monsters, but he always felt that something was wrong, because according to common sense, after getting the treasure, one should quickly find a place to hide it.

This guy seemed to be afraid that others would not know, so he first walked around the Monster Market in a swaggering manner. After coming out, he did not quickly find a place to hide, but actually ran out of the city.

The exit was originally on the edge of the city, and it didn't take long for the monster to leave the city with other monsters.

After leaving the city, the guy's speed increased dramatically, and the monsters behind him almost didn't react in time and let him escape.

After chasing for more than an hour, the sky was turning pale and we had no idea how far we were from the town. Suddenly, the guy in front stopped.

In just a few minutes, hundreds of powerful monsters gathered around him. Zhou Chen did not choose to go forward, but observed the situation from a distance.

At this time, they were deep in a mountain, and one of the monsters said, "Brother, you can't keep this thing, so hand it over to us and let us see it."

The sky was already bright at this time, and the masks on the monsters' heads disappeared without a trace at this moment. Zhou Chen didn't care, as he didn't recognize these monsters.

However, after seeing that guy, these monsters were all shocked, "How could it be you, City Lord Guo? This is all a misunderstanding." After seeing his appearance, the other monsters gave up the idea of ​​robbing and retreated one after another.

"Since everyone wants this map so much, how can I keep it all to myself? Let's study it together."

As he spoke, he threw a bead into the air. The moment the bead flew into the air, the sky and the earth changed color. The originally clear sky was immediately covered with dark clouds, and thunder could be heard from time to time in the dark clouds.

Upon seeing this, the monsters were immediately shocked and said, “City Lord Guo, this is all a misunderstanding. We were wrong to steal your things. Please let us go.”
"Since you are here, don't leave."

At this time, Zhou Chen was watching everything in front of him from a thousand meters away, thinking to himself, "It seems that this guy should have deliberately led these guys here. Maybe the so-called map was also taken for auction by him."

Although he knew that this was a conspiracy, Zhou Chen still wanted to snatch the map and see if it was real.

However, now is not the time for him to take action, because that guy's formation has been completed, and hundreds of big monsters are trapped inside the formation.

They begged for a while, but City Lord Guo ignored them. Seeing that the guy refused to give in, the monsters got angry and said, "Mr. Guo, don't think you can do whatever you want just because you have tremendous power. I don't believe you have the ability to kill all the monsters present here."

This sentence resonated with people, and all the monsters burst out with aura in an instant. The weakest among them had the strength of fifth rank, otherwise they would not have been interested in the map.
