“Three million five hundred thousand.”

Although nothing was known about the dimensional space and the last information was from forty-five days ago, one of the several alien races couldn’t help but take the bite.

“It’s someone from the Devil Scorpion.”

The bidder’s alien race was Devil Scorpion. Its comprehensive strength was lay in the middle of the thousand races.

Li Yunmu followed the bidder’s voice with a hopeful gaze and couldn’t help but be slightly astounded.

The man’s appearance startled him a bit. God only knew what sort hardcore taste the deities of ancient times had to have created such an alien race.

Li Yunmu had to accept that the appearance of the Devil Scorpions was somewhat astonishing.

It fit well with their name. On first glance, he could see that they were an extreme combination of human and scorpion. They possessed the arms and legs of humans, but were covered in scorpion armor from top to bottom. At their backs was a long and thick tail similar to that of a black scorpion. Even their faces were covered with densely packed scales.

Li Yunmu couldn’t dare to imagine how the deities of ancient times had thought of creating such a bloodline from the combination of humans and monsters.

But although his shock wasn’t small, their classification as an alien race wasn’t without reason.

With their knowledge, culture, and society, they were clearly similar to humans. Although their appearance was that of monsters, they could still be considered as a civilized race.

“So the Devil Scorpions are bidding. But then again, it isn’t a surprise since their main base is located near Baidi City. It’s worth it for them.”

Soon, someone gave a quick introduction of Devil Scorpions.

Although the auctioneer had publicly announced the treasure map’s geographical location, the Origin World was a vast place. The southern side of Baidi City of Eastern Region was an extremely huge region.

Without the precise location, trying to find the dimensional space’s location was tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.

This was why Li Yunmu had allowed the Pangu official to share this information. As a matter of fact, wasn’t it precisely because of the rough geographical location that he had encountered a local bidder who desired it greatly?

“Three million eight hundred thousand.”

Although the auction began with an awkward silence, the moment Baidi City’s local power Devil Scorpions made a bid, another person made the next bid.

This one didn’t come from one of the alien races, but rather a masked human powerhouse. Based on the presence coming from the man’s body, he was a late stage sage flux expert.

Such a formidable human powerhouse instantly attracted the attention of many people.

A super powerhouse with the strength of a late stage sage flux expert in the Origin World wasn’t like Earth’s domain sages.

Based on the comparison of power levels among the two worlds, this human powerhouse’s strength was comparable to that of the invincible battle sages. Even among the thousand races of the Origin World, this was enough to call the person a powerhouse.

Pangu True Armour had attracted many characters with terrifying strength which instantly pressured Li Yunmu even more.

Even with his comprehensive combat strength, he might be able to battle and flee from a mid stage sage flux expert, but he was still quite far away from battling a battle sage level character.

This disparity was similar to the difference between domain and battle sages on Earth. Although it was just a difference of a minor realm, the former couldn’t put up any resistance against the latter in a life and death battle.

But despite that, the Devil Scorpions didn’t have any great apprehensions toward the late stage sage flux expert. One of their people clenched his teeth and announced the bid of four million.

Instantly, most of the people on the scene began to ponder. A glimmer of light flashed through the eyes of many.

The abnormal behavior of Devil Scorpions and their strong desire to compete caused the hypothesis of many people to become stronger. None of the characters present in the auction were idiots.

Since the Devil Scorpions who had their base near Baidi City thirsted for the secret treasure map, it answered many of their questions.

They were now certain that the information about the dimensional space was still useful. If it had been discovered by someone else, would the Devil Scorpions bother to compete in the bidding?

The answer was no.

Thus, the auction of the treasure map about which many people weren’t optimistic grew exciting all of a sudden.

In a flash, many bidders who were originally watching silently joined the competition.

Five million, five million three hundred thousand, six million, seven million, finally the bid reached twelve million sacred pangu coins.

Li Yunmu was quite surprised by this price. Even an idiot could understand form this that the dimensional space at the location provided in the map was definitely an extremely valuable one.

In the end, the secret treasure map was bought by the reckless Devil Scorpions who had started the bidding for the outrageous price of eighteen million sacred pangu coins.

It caused an uproar, and everyone’s eyes filled with various thoughts.

As for the seller Li Lunmu, he now clearly understood that the dimensional space shown in the treasure map was of great value. The Devil Scorpions seemed to know about it from some private records, but… he still didn’t regret selling it to them.

The reason for that was quite simple, and it was that even the most valuable dimensional space couldn’t compare to the increase of his personal strength in importance.

As long as he possessed the right amount of strength, what sort of benefit could he not snatch?

This was analogous to the situation a while ago. If Li Yunmu hadn’t gained the substantial boost in strength from the innate expert armor, it would’ve been more or less impossible for him to single-handedly kill his way across a third tier power.

Without that, how could he have been able to come to Pangu City and trade away the astonishing treasures?

Soon, the eighteen million sacred pangu coins flowed into Li Yunmu’s hands, increasing his chances to get his hands on the true armor.

After that, the nine other secret treasure maps were sold in succession one after another.

The second map was auctioned for four million five hundred thousand sacred pangu coins, the third map was sold for seven million sacred pangu coins, while the fourth map was passed upon.

Even if its base price was the lowest of the four, only one million three hundred thousand, not one person made any bid for it.

Li Yunmu couldn’t understand it at first, but Wang Ren’s explanation quickly cleared everything up.

It wasn’t that the location specified in the treasure map wasn’t valuable, but that everyone was extremely fearful of the consequences if they dared to go there.

The location specified in the map was in the territory of Luo Devils.

What sort of alien race were these Luo Devils?

If truth was told, Li Yunmu wasn’t too familiar with this extremely formidable alien race which loved to war. If went to enquire about them from the people of other formidable races, he would have learned that they were all extremely apprehensive of Luo Devils.

And the dimensional space of the fourth map was located right in their territory. This explained why even if the map had the lowest price, no one dared to bit for it.

After all, no one wanted their dimensional space to be located in the territory of that formidable and savage alien race.
