Chapter 371: The Lucky One
Monster Paradise became unusually lively.
Factions arrived one after another outside this Beast Island, which maintained its primitive appearance, and immediately saw the unique spectacle in the Sky.
Through the external Port, Ships traveled along the river flowing in the Sky towards the Island's Core Area.
Along the way, Birds of Prey and Pterodactyls constantly circled in the Sky.
Trees dozens or hundreds of meters tall stretched endlessly, and terrifying Wild Beasts could be seen appearing from time to time, with plenty of Monsters dozens of meters tall as well.
The slaughter among Wild Beasts was even more brutal.
Some Wild Beasts even targeted them, but dared not approach, deterred by the escort of flocks of Birds of Prey.
Although Typhon was the Ruler of this Island, he wouldn't restrain the numerous Wild Beasts on it.
The Wild Beasts on the Island basically knew of Typhon's existence, and under normal circumstances, they wouldn't easily provoke the people attracted by Typhon.
A week after Typhon sent out the news.
The Auction officially began.
Typhon had no Plan to wait for people, because there were eighty-one Auction Items, and he would only sell one portion of Blood per day.
Even if someone arrived late, there would still be a chance; arriving two months later was also fine.
A temporarily constructed Auction House gathered Guests from various Factions.
Typhon's terrifying Aura made most people feel suppressed.
This was the Presence of the King of Monsters; none wished to experience Typhon's terrifying Strength.
Remember how Former Marine Admiral Shikai died? It was absolute slaughter.
Furthermore, the existence of the Monster Legion provided a unique visual experience for the many Guests who arrived.
"The Auction officially begins! The first portion of Monster Blood, Starting Price five million Beli!"
An Auctioneer relatively well-known in the Underworld hosted this Auction.
This was a unique Auction.
Even he was experiencing it for the first time; this Auction would last for over two months, yet each day featured only one Auction Item.
"Six million Beli!"
"Six million five hundred thousand Beli!"
"Seven million Beli!"
.
.
.
The Auction Price rose steadily and quickly reached twenty-five million Beli.
This was equivalent to half the Market Price of an ordinary Devil Fruit.
Currently, the true value of a liter of Monster Blood could not be determined, and it was undoubtedly incomparable to a Devil Fruit; this was the consensus of most people.
Whether it could increase strength depended on luck, and the only advantage was not being afraid of Seawater.
Turning into a Monster was also a reason many people were wary.
Moreover, currently, Typhon's Monster Legion did not have any Pirates who showed outstanding Strength.
This led people to somewhat doubt whether Monster Blood truly held such value.
However, twenty-five million Beli was a considerable sum for ordinary Factions, but it was nothing for the various Great Powers in the New World.
Ultimately, this bottle of Monster Blood was bought by the Pluto Pirates for the high price of twenty-five million Beli.
Some other Factions were still waiting and seeing, eager to witness if anyone would drink the Monster Blood.
They Planned to take action after the true Effect was revealed.
If the Effect wasn't good, spending tens of millions of Beli would be a waste of money.
The first day ended peacefully like this, and the Pluto Pirates lost the Qualification to continue bidding.
The Auction Time was short, but Monster Paradise offered many interesting sights, such as Odd People and Monsters with strange appearances.
The unique plant environment.
The already lively Monster Arena attracted everyone's gaze even more, stirring a sense of Blood Boiling.
If desired, one could also pass through the Secret Path shrouded in mist to enter the Fierce Beast Activity Zone and experience the thrill of slaughtering and pursuing those even more terrifying Wild Beasts.
Time passed day by day.
Each day's Monster Blood was bought at a price fluctuating around twenty-five million Beli.
However, everyone who had their eye on the Monster Blood remained full of Patience.
In Monster Paradise, witnessing a large number of Odd People and Monsters, some miraculous changes were truly surprising.
They were still waiting, anticipating the moment someone would actually drink the Monster Blood.
Finally, on the twenty-eighth day.
An ordinary Pirate who didn't even have a Bounty took out all his money and bid for a portion of Monster Blood.
The Transaction was made on the spot.
Holding the Monster Blood, his face still held a trace of disbelief!
If any Faction had competed with him, he definitely wouldn't have won.
He only spent nineteen million five hundred thousand Beli to buy the Monster Blood.
This was the opportunity the various Factions had been waiting for.
He had no Faction behind him, just an ordinary Lone Pirate.
Holding the Monster Blood, he would definitely be targeted on this Island.
Just the group of Odd People in the Monster Legion who were eager to become stronger wouldn't let go of the Monster Blood in his hand.
Such things had happened many times in the past few days, with many Odd People attacking the buyers who obtained Monster Blood.
However, they ultimately failed.
The Factions that bought the Monster Blood were generally not ordinary, not something a few people from the Monster Legion could easily deal with.
Regarding these incidents, Typhon did not explain, merely saying that the actions of these Monster Legion members were autonomous actions and had nothing to do with him.
Even if they were killed, he would not pursue it.
Everyone could feel the Monster Legion's desire for Monster Blood, that kind of madness that was not afraid of death.
Such an ordinary Pirate was the first.
Therefore, under the tacit agreement of the various Factions, no one competed with him.
They just wanted to see what kind of changes would occur after a person drank the Monster Blood.
If it truly brought a surprise, the price and competitive atmosphere for Monster Blood would undergo a huge transformation.
This Lucky One seemed not to have noticed that he had become a chess piece for others.
Who could say this wasn't a kind of luck? Otherwise, he wouldn't have had the chance to obtain Monster Blood.
The Monster Blood in his hand was placed inside a special container.
Through the transparent glass, one could clearly see the Monster Blood inside.
Rather than blood, it was more like a heart.
The purplish-red blood gathered together, maintaining vitality, pulsating like a heart.
