Chapter 170: An Unexpected Problem
Mu Qi really knew enough about Hill, and when he learned that there was a gambling plate outside, he didn't even wait for the Gu family to bet, and immediately bet on Gu Tiancheng for 10,000 gold coins!
Another greedy person is naturally Gu Tiancheng, when he heard the odds of 30 losses, he didn't care about avoiding suspicion, he went to go in person, asked about the gambling contract, and bet 10,000 gold coins on the spot!
Immediately afterwards, Gu Yangming made a move, and 20,000 gold coins were happily offered.
Before the host of the gambling game could react, Hua Feng, Hua Liang and Mu Qi's bets arrived, each with 5,000 gold coins!
The host's face turned white with fright: if Gu Tiancheng really wins, he is afraid that he will go bankrupt!
Not only that, many people originally wanted to bet on the royal family, but when they saw Gu Tiancheng's bet, they either changed their hexagram and bet on Gu Tiancheng, or simply gave up the bet. Until the day Gu Tiancheng officially entered the psychedelic forest, the gambling money for the royal family did not exceed 40,000 gold coins.
The entire challenge is led by Ari Hill, and all those who enter the psychedelic forest must go through a body search, including the items in the storage ring.
Hill didn't want to be so harsh, but Yushin Sangtake was afraid that the Gu family would do something from it, so he strongly demanded it.
In this case, Ciel's strict attitude was not only forbidden, but even food and drink were strictly limited to a day's consumption.
In other words, all those who enter the psychedelic forest will not only face threats from each other and from Warcraft, but also face the problem of lack of food and water.
Gu Tiancheng is a person who is greedy for enjoyment, he knows that the time will not be short, even if the ingredients in the psychedelic forest are abundant, it is useless if he can't cook, of course, he must bring enough food. Since the rules were not allowed, Gu Tiancheng asked Joanna to open up space in advance and stocked up on enough food in Joanna's territory.
According to the rules, Gu Tiancheng entered the psychedelic forest one day earlier to facilitate his search for a hiding place. Gu Tiancheng didn't want to delay for a moment, and after entering the psychedelic forest, he immediately summoned Joanna and took him to the Central Territory.
"I haven't seen you for a long time, how effective is your retreat?" Returning to Joanna's territory, Gu Tiancheng felt a burst of kindness and asked relaxedly.
Joanna frowned, "It feels like it's going to be fast, according to you guys, it's just a layer of window paper away from breaking through." ”
Gu Tiancheng laughed, "Great! I'm going to cultivate." Let's compare and see who breaks through first. ”
Joanna shook her head, "You'll have enough time for a few months." It's possible that I can't break through that distance in ten years and a hundred years. I have a good mentality and I don't push for breakthroughs. It's better to go with the flow. ”
"In that case, then you can help me take care of my opponents during this time. Let's see what they're up to. ”
Joanna nodded immediately.
"Haha, your kid has been chased as a lost dog again!"
A milky voice sounded, Gu Tiancheng hurriedly looked, but it was Kyle talking!
Gu Tiancheng was overjoyed, and stepped forward to hug Kyle's head, "You kid, when did you learn to speak human words?"
Joanna said in the back, "Maybe Kyle has a lot of contact with you humans, and he understands human language much earlier than the other Red Flame Tigers. ”
Kyle shook his head, "I'm a genius!"
"Okay, little genius," Gu Tiancheng laughed, "There will be a hundred masters in the psychedelic forest to hunt me down." I'll leave it all to you, right?"
Kyle didn't take it seriously at all, "You human masters, just those few holy ranks, I may not be able to deal with it, and the rest is just a matter of one claw." ”
After that, Gu Tiancheng came to the Moon Melting Pool again, stripped naked and jumped into the pool, the familiar burning pain appeared again, Gu Tiancheng sighed intoxicatedly, slowly urged the Red Flame Heart Strength, closed his eyes, and began to concentrate on cultivation.
Outside, the next day, a team of 100 people, led by Gavin Qi, entered the teleportation circle under the surveillance of Hill and began their mission to encircle and suppress Gu Tiancheng.
According to the estimation of Yushin Sotake and Hill, in a day or two at most, the winner will be able to be distinguished. So they stayed in the Teleportation Circle Palace, together with Greif, waiting for the results to come out.
One day, two days, three days passed, and instead of waiting for the expected result, I received a message from the guards guarding the teleportation array: the team was a little unable to support it, and asked for food supplies for them!
What's going on? The three bigwigs were naturally puzzled. It was the guards who came to deliver the message and told them about the situation of the detachment in the past three days.
Gavin Qi was born in the army, and as soon as he entered the Lost Soul Forest, he immediately divided the team into ten teams, three of which monitored the perimeter of the teleportation circle, and the remaining seven were spread out to search for Gu Tiancheng. The three heartguards of Xiang Wu Yue and Xiang Wu Fei acted alone, not under the control of Gavin Qi.
They only carried one day's rations, and that's the most important thing. And this is also the standard that Hill imposed after he took it seriously.
Gavin Chi didn't even care about that at first. In his opinion, even if a child can hide any longer, how far can he go in one day? Hold up a radius of 100 miles! Even if a 100-person person searches in a carpet way, it will take two days at most to finish the work. It is enough to carry the rations for one day, and then kill a few monsters for a day during the search.
Gavin Qi obviously underestimated the difficulty of this mission, and Gu Tiancheng was certainly not so easy to find. But this mistake is not the point! The point is that Gavin Chee grossly underestimated the importance of daily eating. In his opinion, all of them have killer strength, how can they go hungry when they enter the psychedelic forest.
But he forgot that the psychedelic forest did have a lot to eat, and with their strength, it could be described as giving and taking, but the psychedelic forest could not provide them with any kind of condiment, especially the all-important salt!
At the beginning, Gavin Mu selected a team of 100 people, all of whom went for strength, and those selected were the best of the best. Of course, the top fighters are good at fighting, but the top ones are usually in the army, they are all raised by others, and the chores and rough work are all done by others, and they generally only do one thing: improve their strength!
The same way of thinking about the selection of commanders, Gavin Qi usually commands tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, how could he be asked to care about the food of ordinary soldiers. He only cares about how to use the troops, how to arrange the formation, whether it is good or not?
As a result, when these "old soldiers" faced Hill, none of them could think of bringing more condiments.
They can't think of it, and even more so the big guys like Gref, Yushin Sotake, and Ari Hill. And then tragedy just happened.
Everything was normal on the first day, although Gu Tiancheng was not found, but the morale within the team was high, and there were some talking and laughing.
The next day, there was a lot of complaining. No matter how good the meat of the monster is, it smells so fragrant when it is roasted, there is not a single bit of salt, and there are no other spices, it is simply difficult to swallow. Fortunately, I can barely pick some wild fruits, and I can barely deal with them. The soldiers endured.
But Gavin Chess, with his commander's keen sense of smell, had already realized that something was wrong. There are still no clues about Gu Tiancheng's whereabouts. But his soldiers certainly won't last two days!
In fact, Gavin Chi overestimated his soldiers. On the third day, the soldiers went on strike and demanded more supplies.
Gavin Qi also felt that he couldn't go on like this, so he conveyed the team's request to the outside world through the guards of the teleportation circle.
Reading is exciting, reading is wonderful!
