Chapter 161: The Temptation of Money
After the third duel, Li Shark pulled Su Ze away, saying that he was looking for a place to have a good meal to celebrate the victory.
Su Ze asked, "Shouldn't you stay and watch the fourth matchup?"
Li Sha replied: "What are you involved in the first half, what are you involved with in the second half? Besides, apart from the second young master Chen of the Vasily family, is it necessary for you to study those small characters?"
Su Ze couldn't resist Li Shark, so he left with him. When the Chen brothers saw it, they said that the beast summoner-level duel was indeed nothing to look at, so they found a tavern with a good atmosphere with the two of them, which could be regarded as a friendship with Su Ze and the two of them for a meal.
Just after noon, the four of them returned to the central square side by side. With the scorching sun on his head, even if it was late summer and early autumn, most of the melon-eating people who were willing to watch the battle walked unconsciously, which made Su Ze, who hated a lot of people, a lot easier.
"Everyone has already arrived, right?" As soon as the scheduled time came, Li Shan, who was enjoying the shade under the tree on the side, walked into the ring with an oil-paper umbrella and said loudly: "The fifth duel is about to begin, please prepare for the ninth contestant Su Ze and the tenth contestant Lin Jiu!"
In the cheers of Li Shark and the Chen brothers, Su Ze walked to the left side of the ring with a helpless face, but to everyone's expectations, his opponent Lin Jiu also walked to the left side of the ring, I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in his gourd?
The summoner duel only required the two sides to make the demons stand on the opposite side, and the position of the summoners on both sides was never stipulated, so Li Shan only glanced at Lin Jiu and didn't say anything.
Generally speaking, when one of the opposing parties chooses a position, the other side grabs his position, which should be understood as a kind of provocation and demonstration. But Lin Jiu obviously didn't mean this, as soon as he walked to Su Ze's side, he smiled with chrysanthemums on his face, and then greeted him very sophisticatedly: "Brother Su, look up for a long time." β
Su Ze glanced at Lin Jiu, didn't say a word, and casually summoned the King Kong Leopard who had rampaged all the way to the top sixteen, and then looked at the ring and said, "Brother Lin, summon the demon." β
"Tut-tut, Brother Su is a straightforward person. Okay, I like to make friends with cheerful people!" As he spoke, Lin Jiu also waved his robe sleeves and wrung out a cyclone in the ring, but what rolled out of the cyclone was a big turtle that was one meter long and wide, one foot high, and full of dark light!
Holy shield turtle, herbivorous monster, high-level monster, adult state. Strength: 2 stars, Magic: 2 stars, Dexterity: 0 stars, Defense: 5 stars. Good at magic: Stone Shell Technique, Iron Armor Technique, Earth Escape Technique, Rock Escape Technique.
After seeing the information of the Holy Shield Turtle, Su Ze couldn't help frowning, then looked sideways at Lin Jiu and said, "If Brother Lin is tempting, then there is no need. Even if it was a low-level demonic beast, I would never be merciful. β
As soon as Su Ze's words fell, the ingots swooped down on the Holy Shield Turtle! The steel claw technique opened in the air, and Uncle Wolf's steel knife with the same width immediately stretched out from its front pawsβthe cold light reflected in the midday sun made these steel claws seem indestructible!
However, in the face of the Vajra Leopard's attack, the Holy Shield Turtle did not show the slightest panic at all.
When the vajra leopard was still showing off the edge of its steel claws in mid-air, it had already retracted all its head, tail and limbs into the shell in a hurry, and when the steel claws of the vajra leopard landed on its own turtle shell, it used the stone shell technique to strengthen the turtle shell with excellent defense, and cracked four or five gaps in those steel claws!
"Roar!" the adamant leopard roared in pain, and then pounced on it again in annoyance, as if trying to use its half-foot-long steel claws to insert into the crack in the turtle's shell and strangle the shrunken turtle from the inside. How could he have thought that the Holy Shield Turtle that had performed the Stone Shell Technique had even the gaps in its limbs that stretched its head and tail completely blocked by the solid rock, giving it the slightest chance to take advantage of it.
The Holy Shield Turtle's defense was already amazing, and after casting the stone shell, its defensive attribute had become a "star" in Su Ze's eyes, and it was naturally difficult for ordinary demonic beasts to hurt it in the slightest.
However, the reason why the Demonic Beasts are called Demonic Beasts is because in addition to having the minions of the Beasts, they also have the magic that the Beasts do not have! Seeing that the Yuan Bao had no way to take the Holy Shield Turtle, Su Ze directly ordered: "Earth Spear Forest!"
As soon as Su Ze's words fell, he stretched out his front paws and slapped the ground, and cast an earth attack magic on the holy shield turtle that was as stable as Mount Tai.
Seeing this, Su Ze said again: "Since it doesn't want to fight, then we won't fight either." Ingot Treasure, push it out of the ring!"
Although the name of the King Kong leopard has the word "leopard" in it, its size is no different from that of a tiger. Although the power attribute of three stars was nothing among the high-level Demonic Beasts, it was more than enough to push a round Great King Eight out of the ring.
In the previous knockout round, Lin Jiu's opponent didn't know how much time it would take just to break the shell of the Holy Shield Turtle, and a smart person like Su Ze who could think of pushing the Holy Shield Turtle out of the ring with a face-to-face look, Lin Jiu couldn't help but be secretly frightened. But as the saying goes, the road is one foot high, the devil is one foot high, since he can think that the opponent may push his demon out of the ring, then he must have already thought of a way to deal with it.
Sure enough, seeing that the ingots had already pushed the Holy Shield Turtle to the edge of the ring, and two more steps could make this stubborn stone roll as far as possible, but the Holy Shield Turtle suddenly cast the Earth Escape Technique, which instantly sank to the surface of the ring, making all its efforts ridiculously useless. And when the Holy Shield Turtle reappeared, the immovable figure had already returned to the center of the ring, and it was so angry that it was itching at all.
If you change someone else, you will definitely roll up your sleeves and order the demon to continue attacking, but Su Ze has long seen that the Holy Shield Turtle is good at magic - two defensive magic and two subtle magic, the interaction is a bottomless pit, and the only result of brute force is to exhaust the ingot.
At this point, Su Ze had to ask: "What does Brother Lin mean? When you go to the ring and don't fight, just let the demon shrink into your shell, don't you want to win at all?"
"Brother Su's words are wrong!" Hearing Su Ze's question, Lin Jiu couldn't help but sigh that this big fish had finally taken the bait, so he said with a slight meaning: "Brother Su should be no stranger to the rules of this contest to recruit relatives, right? Once the two sides of the duel stalemate for more than half an hour will be counted as a draw, and a tie means that both sides of the duel are eliminated at the same time." Of course, this rule is still in effect today. β
Su Ze asked puzzledly: "So, you do this kind of thing that harms others and is not beneficial to yourself, just to drag me into the water?"
"Brother Su is wrong again, I'm not hurting others and myself, I'm doing it for everyone's win-win situation!" A sly smile appeared on the corner of Lin Jiu's mouth, and then he said calmly: "Brother Su doesn't know, our Lin family's Red Palace Casino is the second largest casino in Panda City, and the younger brother has nothing else, but the pocket money has never been less." β
In this regard, Su Ze chose to remain silent, and said in his heart: My pocket money has 7,000 gold coins, how much do you have?
As soon as Su Ze thought about it, Lin Jiu directly revealed his family background, "It's not a secret, the junior brother can go all the way to the top sixteen as a high-level summoner, relying not on strength, but on gold coins." Which of us is stronger and who is weak, anyone with a discerning eye can see that I have bet on me to win all the 363 gold coins I have saved for more than ten years, as long as you abstain and admit defeat, in addition to the capital of the 363 gold coins, all the money won back belongs to you!"
Su Ze and Lin Jiu's open ranks are both high-level summoners, but Su Ze's Vajra Leopard once had the strength to kill two beast summoners in seconds, which made his odds a few percent lower than Lin Jiu. Once what Lin Jiu said is true, even if the principal of the three hundred and sixty-three gold coins is put aside, there are at least nearly a hundred gold coins to be earned, where can ordinary people withstand this temptation?
Seeing that Su Ze seemed to be thinking about something, Lin Jiu expected that this matter had been completed, so he hit the railway while it was hot: "Life is in the world, why can't you get along with money?" Brother Su is an understanding person, don't think about it, hurry up and abstain!"
