Chapter 15: Placing Big Bets

It was covered in dangerously clear slime that would dissolve if I touched a part of my body. Pen %Fun%Pavilion www.biquge.info My innate ability to regenerate can keep up with its recovery speed?

How many seconds does it take for mucus to erode from the epidermis and destroy the tissues of the arm to the point where it becomes immobile?

…… If the rate of decay is faster than expected, causing the entire arm to disappear, how long will it take for the arm to regenerate into a working state?

Although I haven't lost my arm yet, I have a gut feeling that I have that kind of resilience – I just feel strongly that it is possible, and maybe that confidence comes from "genetic instinct".

Forget it, it doesn't matter if you lose an arm, at most your future life will be more difficult or time-consuming.

…… As long as it can achieve the goal.

I want to taste the "guts" of that thing.

"Roar~Hoo!"

I was too focused on the digestive worm in front of me, and when I noticed the sudden upsurge of emotions in the audience, the green and red numbers on the slightly curved surface of the flesh wall above my head had changed dramatically.

It seems that someone has placed a high stake (beep coin) just before the start of the beast competition.

The odds of the two beasts have changed drastically.

The high reluctance seems to be on my side, and it's enough to balance the odds for both. Some of the gamblers were disappointed, some were happy, and some were relieved.

Whether gamblers are happy or worried, most of them are still more concerned about the "beast king" who has no competition experience...... Who dares to make a big bet? The voices of inquiry have come and gone.

At this point, the familiar smell wafted through my nose and I turned my head to find the source—just then, a ball of paper the size of a shuttlecock flew towards the bridge of my nose, and I grabbed it from the air with my bare hands a moment before it hit. The unexpected attack didn't affect my ability to confirm the scent.

The source of the flavor is the same direction as the paper ball from which it flies.

I looked up and saw that it was Luz who had thrown something at me.

She put on a symmetrical half-cut white mask and stood on a three-meter-high stand.

Even though half of her face was covered, her incomplete smile looked even more eerie...... It really disgusted me from the bottom of my heart.

I noticed that despite the different styles, the masks worn by Luz and the "White-Faced Adjudicator" smelled the same and seemed to be made of the same material.

Do the two have anything to do with each other in private? I don't know.

Luz waved a white fan to match her white dress, lifted her forehead and lifted her chin .......

Then, the lower half of her face was hidden behind a fan and she turned away, silently burrowing into the suspicious crowd of spectators.

The seating area of the noble ladies was full of guests, and their fancy clothes were like flowers, they were staggered and overlapped, and from a distance they became a colorful flower garden. Luz and the others also dressed themselves like flowers, and when they mixed in, they became inconspicuous at all.

She enters the flower garden and hides herself, followed by a "neutral teenager". The boy had seen it in the dungeon passage before, and his face was impressively solemn at the moment.

I spread out the ball of paper that Luz had thrown at me, and in a second I swept over the fonts on it, which I read for me, understanding what the content meant, and my eyes turned to the digester again.

Luz's "forehead and chin lift" before leaving revealed a hint that the piece of paper in my hand had a recipe for victory.

According to her method, if I want to win, I have to get "that thing" first.

The woman seemed to be trying to divert the audience's attention and help me "hunt go smoothly" in an inconspicuous way.

- Luz said, "I have a crush on you."

Did she help me for that unconvincing reason?

Perhaps, they just want to use me to make themselves more stable and make gambling money.

***

I lifted "that thing" with both hands and jumped up—

The high-speed wind currents buzzed through the cracks of "that thing".

As soon as the strange sound stopped, "that thing" smashed against the watery surface of the digestive worm. The surface membrane was ruptured, and the yellow turbid digestive juice splashed around, and the drenched earthy brown ground soon burned countless black spots of different sizes.

My arm was stained with some mucus, and the white skin dripping with cloudy white liquid instantly charred into a bits of black and gray color. I gritted my teeth and endured the pain.

…… It's a little bit not good.

I interrupted my attack and backdid a backflip holding "that thing" to distance myself from the digester.

"It seems that there is no way to win or lose at once. 」

"Up, up!"

The broken thoughts I muttered to myself coincided with the cheers of the crowd in the venue.

The reason why I wanted to win and lose in one fell swoop was because of the sudden change in the action of the digestive worm.

Digest worms three minutes ago like a snail moving slowly.

I was wary of its movements, and went to pick up the "thing" that Luz had suggested, and no sooner had it than ever gotten it, it suddenly curled up and bulged into a ball like a huge projectile, which blasted straight at me like a cannonball.

As far as I can remember, this is the first time I've met someone who moves so quickly...... Can I get out of the way?

My body moved involuntarily, and this body was more flexible and resilient than I expected, and I jumped back from the ground to avoid the danger in front of me.

The digestive worm hits the hard flesh wall directly, and the soft form makes a loud sound of hitting the water surface like an ice cream ball. It stopped moving for a few seconds, and soon the scattered slime gathered around the "nucleus" again.

It's the kind of instant assault that catches the beast. Although it will damage itself, as long as the core is not damaged, the scattered liquid body can regenerate.

…… No, I have a gut feeling that its abilities are not so simple, and although I don't know if it's true or not, the "White-Faced Adjudicator" claims that it has not tasted defeat so far, indicating that it must be hiding some kind of hunting method.

Luz's aid to me was to tell me that the thing that printed the ceiling odds numbers - the diamond lamppost was the key to dealing with the other side.

The lamppost is made of the skin of the stomach wall of Biboula. Therefore, the black luminous lamp post with a diameter of about 50 centimeters and a height of 2 meters has become a special weapon to resist the digestive juice and directly attack the "core" of the digestive worm inside.
