Chapter 296: Meatball's Fury (3)

Yun Feng opened her mouth. "Two high-level ores." Her words made the auctioneer grin hard. Murong Shuli could hardly breathe, and flushed in fury. Murong Ze looked awful too, and felt that he had been insulted.

If the bidder had joined the competition from the beginning, it would've been fine for them to bid. However, when the Murong family was the only one left and thought it was the winner, this stranger popped up and offered a price that the Murong family couldn't possibly surmount. Murong Shuli and Murong Ze both felt that they were being made fun of.

Murong Ze rose abruptly and looked in Yun Feng's direction, before he shouted angrily, "Why do you have to give the Murong family a hard time? Are you trying to embarrass us?"

Murong Ze knew Yun Feng's voice, but her voice had been processed through the special channel, so she didn't sound like herself. Yun Feng smiled. "Why would I care about the Murong family?"

"If you don't, why did you make an offer at such a moment?" Murong Ze looked even more awful, and couldn't hold back his fury! Especially, since the other families were all watching the drama as if the Murong family were clowns for entertainment!

"Was I not allowed to make an offer?" asked Yun Feng. The auctioneer immediately replied, "Yes, of course you were! Mr. Murong, this bidder didn't violate the rules. It was fine to make an offer of two high-level ores. Are you going to continue bidding, Mr. Murong?"

Murong Ze's face was dark and red. He couldn't have been more frustrated and infuriated. The Murong family had defeated all its competitors in the bidding. Yet, that stranger's offer was higher than the Murong family's, which was a brutal slap in the Murong family's face!

Murong Ze's lips shivered, and he fell back on his seat rigidly. Murong Shuli was sullen too. Continue bidding? The Murong family couldn't afford it even if he wanted too! Murong Shuli wanted to shout an astronomical number to get back at the stranger who intervened, but he wouldn't be able to make the payment later.

The auctioneer stood there in a good mood. It didn't matter who the buyer was or whether there was any conflict. As long as the items were sold, the money and ores would be the Auction House's, and it didn't really care what would happen later.

The auctioneer knocked the hammer and announced the winner. Both Murong Shuli and Murong Ze sat there gloomily and gazed in Yun Feng's direction. They were of a mind to tear the wall down and see who was inside. Many buyers shared the same thought. They all wanted to find out who this surprisingly rich person was behind the wall.

If Yun Feng did show up in public, they probably wouldn't believe that she was the buyer at all as she was just a little girl. In such a case, the Murong family would've been even more shocked.

The auction was over, and everybody dispersed. Seated inside the VIP room, Yun Feng received the protection piece and paid two high-level ores. The waiter retreated respectfully. Yun Feng took out the black item from the box, and suddenly felt that it was unusual. She touched the black item carefully and examined its every tiny stripe.

Yun Feng's eyes widened. This... this item wasn't made by humans. It.. It...

The ancestor's voice came at this moment. "Kid, this item is called a protection piece because people don't know it well enough. Hehe. It's actually a rare treasure. You're truly lucky to see it!"

Yun Feng held the black item in her hand. A moment earlier, she had extended her mental power into the item, but it was bounced back! She was in the Commander Level, so it was probably true that the item could absorb damage underneath the Commander Level!

The item couldn't have been made by any human. So, it was an unknown item that had been given such a name because of its special effect!

"Ancestor, do you know what it is?" asked Yun Feng in her heart. The ancestor, however, shook his head. "I only know that this item is extremely precious, and that there aren't a lot of them. I've seen similar protection pieces before, but they could absorb damage of a much higher level!"

A much higher level? Could they absorb damage below the Monarch Level?

"I was very curious about them and wanted to find out what they were, but I failed to find an answer. I only discovered that they contained a sort of powerful energy. The protection pieces that still exist in the human world have lost most of the energy, yet they're still so effective. It's not hard to imagine that they must've been unimaginably powerful when they had all the energy in them!"

What the ancestor said made Yun Feng's heart shiver. The protection piece in her hand must've existed for a long time and lost most of its energy. So, its effect was based on the remaining energy in it? What kind of item was it exactly? Why was it so powerful when it had lost most of its energy?

How did it come into the human world? Was it brought by human ancestors? Or another mysterious species? Or maybe, human beings hadn't found out everything about the world yet?

Questions popped up in Yun Feng's head one after another. At this moment, Lan Yi's voice chimed in. "Master, I think I've seen this item before."

Yun Feng was intrigued. Lan Yi had seen it before? "Where?" asked Yun Feng. Lan Yi considered it for a long time, before it finally replied, "I think Lord Yao Guang had one of these things before. I don't know whether or not it was the same thing. Maybe they're just similar."

Lord... Yao Guang? Yun Feng seemed puzzled, and Lan Yi smiled. "Lord Yao Guang is the black-robed guy who looks like a young man. He has a pair of gray eyes. It's very easy to recognize him."
