"Meow."

Xiao Phantom's low voice sounded in Li Changan's ears.

He also slowly opened his eyes.

I looked around the box, but I didn't attract anyone's attention.

Lowered his eyelids again, showing no abnormality.

Through Xiaophant's tracking, Li Changan learned some information.

The hidden room that Bai Chengjie went to after leaving may be one of the real secrets of this underground arena.

Inside, could it be the "Astronomical Society"?

Because the room is special and there is a special guard, Xiao Phantom didn't dare to go in.

And the most important point, Xiao Phantom informed Li Changan through the spiritual balance at that time that if it entered, it was very likely to encounter incalculable danger, and this feeling came from its intuition.

Even, when Bai Chengjie left, Xiao Phantom almost blew up and almost exposed himself.

It can be seen that in that secret room, there is definitely an existence that is far stronger than it.

As for saying.

Bai Chengjie walked out of that room and came back from the conversation with Chu Fanguang on the way, and Li Changan also knew.

What he didn't expect was that Bai Chengjie actually had a younger brother.

And also a younger brother who has been made a viscount.

This also made Li Changan understand why Bai Chengjie's father, Bai Hongtu, a member of the "First Court" and a high-ranking earl, did not take his son to the royal capital, but stayed in Molong City.

In this world, the status of the eldest son is much higher than that of the second son.

But if the second son's ability, power, and identity surround and surpass the son-in-law in all aspects

That's hard to say.

Just when his mind was full of thoughts, Bai Chengjie, who had a cold face, came back.

Following him, there was also Wang Youshan, who still looked like an old god.

When did he show up?

In fact, Li Changan wanted Xiao Fan to try to follow Wang Youshan before.

In the end, it didn't work.

On the one hand, it was because Wang Youshan was a third-order spirit master after all, and Xiao Huan's disguise might not be able to escape his eyes.

On the other hand, after Wang Youshan left the box, he disappeared all of a sudden, and Xiao Fan, who went out a little later, couldn't find him at all.

That's why he retreated and followed Bai Chengjie.

"Whoever helped me get on stage and won the guy opposite, the prize money was 100,000."

Although Bai Chengjie tried his best to hide it, he could still hear a trace of anger from his words.

Several people in the box looked at each other.

Li Changan also looked like he didn't understand the situation, but he was very moved when he heard the 100,000 prize money.

Leaning sideways towards the huge floor-to-ceiling window behind him.

Obviously, after Bai Chengjie's return, the staff of the arena were already preparing.

And just opposite them, a floor-to-ceiling window that could not see the interior clearly, and after a flash of light, you could see the appearance of the inside of the box.

Chu Fanguang, holding a wine glass in one hand and a gorgeous woman in the other, was looking at them with a smile and raising his wine glass towards them.

Something will happen in this arena, so that the visible glass can be freely controlled, so that the two sides of the competition can see each other, isn't this smell of gunpowder coming up all of a sudden Li Changan slandered in his heart.

Bai Chengjie crossed his arms, walked to the window expressionlessly, and looked at Chu Fanguang in the air.

The smell of gunpowder is getting stronger and stronger.

At the same time, in the wide ring below, Chu Fanguang's people were already standing on it.

He looked up at their side, his eyes full of defiance.

"I'll go."

The first person who couldn't hold back was Hongwu.

The sound of his urn seemed to come from his chest, and he suddenly got up, clenched his fists, and made a "click" sound.

"Good!"

Bai Chengjie did not refuse, and lowered his eyes.

Immediately, Hong Wu was led by the waiter and went to the ring below.

Li Changan and the others also got up one after another, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, stood behind Bai Chengjie, and looked down.

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Hong Wen on the other side.

His face was calm, and he seemed to have some confidence in Hongwu's strength.

With Hong Wu coming to the stage, under the introduction and encouragement of the host, the scene soon became lively.

The sound of betting, raising, and discussion is constantly ringing.

After the host's order, the battle between the two sides soon began.

The person who fought with Hongwu was named Qi Jun, and it seemed that he was also the fighter of the three fights in the underground arena, and he didn't know when he was taken under Chu Fanguang's command.

The spirit beast is a sickle meerkat, chaos attribute, negative level superior potential, negative level fifth order strength.

The sickle meerkat belongs to the meerkat spirit animal, which is short in stature and quick in movement.

The most striking thing is undoubtedly the sharp scythe at the end of its elbow and the end of its tail.

The cold light reflected in the dazzling spotlight.

After the collision between the two spirit beasts began, Li Changan shook his head.

Hongwu's pleated rhinoceros is no match.

A power-type quiet attribute spirit beast that focuses on destruction, and faces a chaotic attribute scythe meerkat with a treacherous body shape and rapid movements.

In fact, the victory or defeat is at the very beginning, and whether the leather armor of the pleated rhinoceros can withstand the sickle of the fox meerkat, can be judged.

Not only him, but the rest of the people in the box also saw it.

"Qi Jun, I remember, he used to be a mercenary."

The usually taciturn soldier suddenly spoke.

When Bai Chengjie looked at him, the sharp soldier continued:

"The scythe on his sickle meerkat is not original, but stolen from another stronger scythe meerkat caterk, which can barely be regarded as a tool."

Filch?

One of the abilities of the chaos attribute spirit animal?

Li Changan narrowed his eyes.

didn't pay attention to the change in Bai Chengjie's complexion, but noticed that Hong Wen, as Hong Wu's elder brother, was still calm and calm at the moment.

Until Hong Wu finally admitted defeat and was knocked off the field, there was no change in his expression.

Are they really brothers?

Hongwu lost, not surprisingly.

Bai Chengjie's face is as ugly as it gets.

Chu Fanguang on the other side was smiling, so unhappy.

"I'll go."

The spearhead suddenly said, looking at the Qi army shouting in the audience, his eyes burning.

But for the sharp soldier's proposal, Bai Chengjie refused, and looked at Li Changan instead.

"Changqing, you go."

Li Changan, who heard this, was slightly stunned.

His eyes swept over Bai Chengjie and the sharp soldiers, and there was a little understanding in his eyes.

In Bai Chengjie's eyes, the top soldier is his trump card except for Wang Youshan, and he, Li Changan, is obviously not at the level of a trump card.

I couldn't help laughing a few times in my heart, and I didn't see any change on the surface:

"Okay."

and Hong Wu, who was quite embarrassed and sloppy and staggered.

Under the guidance of the waiter, head to the ring.

When he appeared in the sight of Bai Chengjie and the others again, the black cat in his arms was gone.

While stepping onto the stage step by step, in the formation that emerged in front of Li Changan, a burly and sturdy man slowly stepped out.

Stand still on the stage.

Looking at Qi Jun with a smile on his face opposite, and the sickle meerkat who was constantly playing with two sickles, Li Changan's eyes flashed slightly.

In fact, it was not only the top soldiers who recognized Qi Jun, Li Changan also recognized him.

Qi Jun, a wanted fugitive, has committed more than one homicide, and even rape and murder, and likes to use extremely cruel means to dismember the victims.

Heinous one.

It's just that he didn't expect that he would hide in this arena and become a rich thug.

Life is very comfortable.

As a matter of fact, seventy or eighty percent of those who fight in this arena have some bad behavior, even criminal behavior, to some extent.

Therefore, Li Changan has nothing to say to him.

After the host signaled to start, he rarely let Kuidou take the initiative, and he took the lead for the first time.

"Oriki, Spike!"

"Bracket!!"

I saw that Kuidou's arm was raised.

Many tables around the ring suddenly rose into the air.

In the sound of scattered sawdust, it turned into sharp wooden thorns.

Densely packed towards the scythe meerkat broke through the air.

This hand made some of the audience sitting in the front look stunned, looking at the empty front, as if they didn't expect this to be the case.

But instead of getting angry, they looked even more excited.

"Good!"

Seeing this, Qi Jun's face tightened slightly, and the sickle fox mongoose immediately moved.

With his dexterous body, he quickly dodges in the air.

From time to time, he wields a scythe, splitting the undodgable wooden spike in half.

In a short period of time, I really can't help it.

But.

Li Changan and Kui Dou's goal at the beginning was not it.

I saw Li Changan take half a step forward, and the palm held by Kui Douping was also clenched suddenly.

Those spikes that had been avoided by the scythe meerkat attacked the Qi army from all directions at great speed!

Straight to the Soul Master!

"Steal!"

With a little panicked, the Qi army didn't have to think about commanding anymore, and shouted.

"Wow!!"

Sensing the crisis of the Qi army, the scythe meerkat gritted its teeth, dodged and jumped and quickly returned to its side, his eyes were red, and the chaotic aura expanded instantly.

It was as if it was a special smell emanating from a scythe meerkat, enveloping all the wooden thorns around it.

The next second.

Kuidou grabbed the grip with some surprise.

It feels. Lost control of those wooden spikes.

The "chaotic" attribute confuses everything that has traces to follow, and makes everything disorderly, wrong, and incomprehensible

Qi Jun and his sickle meerkat, have they begun to explore and use their attributes?

"It's just the 'wood thorns' that are stolen, and the 'weaving wood' is still there, restraining them!"

Li Changan was not surprised, but reminded Kui Dou in his heart.

React to it, and once again drive spirituality.

The wooden thorns that fluttered in the air suddenly evolved into tough wooden bars.

Wrapped and bound the Qi army and the sickle meerkat.

Click!!

It's just that when I saw those wooden bars become tighter, a huge crack suddenly opened in them.

Followed by.

The swift figure that jumped out, mixed with the cold light, rushed towards Kuidou at the fastest speed.

Phew—

The audience who saw this scene cried out.

I thought I could get some seconds of Qi Jun and the sickle meerkat.

Whoop -

"Bracket!!"

The crisp sound of wood cracking, accompanied by the muffled hum of Kuidou.

An extremely flat cut creeped out of its arm.

Qi Jun, who got out of the wooden cage, gritted his teeth, his face full of indignation.

"Kill him for me!"

Bang!!

The scythe meerkat that brought a wound to Kui Dou did not hesitate for a moment, swept past it, and rushed towards Li Changan at the fastest speed.

It's just that before it could get closer, it was stopped by Kuidou's fist.

The scythe meerkat took a moment to look at Kuidou.

Big guys are really not afraid of death?

"Bracket!!"

Kuidou snorted again, and once again pulled out the wooden strip from his body.

However, it did not wrap itself, but covered it around Li Changan's body.

Wooden armor!

Seeing this scene, Qi Jun and the sickle meerkat both understood.

If you don't solve Kuidou, you can't hurt Li Changan.

The next moment.

The rich experience made them swing their scythes towards the strong Kuidou.

In an instant, it was as if there was a flying scythe, quickly shuttling around Kuidou.

Puff puff –

Every flicker of cold light was accompanied by a scar on its body.

A few of the audience members began to shake their heads.

The initial onslaught was countered, and then the slow-moving Unyielding Dryad was unable to catch the agile Scythe Meerkat, no match for the Ruffled Rhinoceros before it.

Waiting to lose?

They couldn't see it, but the sickle fox mongoose and the Qi army, who were fighting with Kui, felt it very clearly.

The scythe of the scythe fox mongoose is becoming more and more difficult to break through the defenses of the kuidou.

Qi Jun suddenly shook his head, and raised his eyes to reveal a look of disbelief.

looked at the indomitable tree demon who seemed to be a stake in the sickle meerkat, and Li Changan, whose face was calm and did not panic at all.

Indomitable?!

Is this an unyielding dryad who has mastered the "Indomitable Heart"?

He is not Kui Niu and Lao Liu Tou, and he knows very well what the unyielding tree demon with an "unyielding heart" represents.

If the seconds don't fall, they can only be consumed.

If you can't consume it, then the result.

Looking at the appearance of the unyielding tree demon, although embarrassed, he was still in good spirits and his eyes were firm.

There was no sign of being defeated.

It can't go on like this!

Qi Jun's heart was horizontal, and he said:

"Meerkat twisted scythe!"

Last Stand!

If the seconds don't fall, the battle should be over.

"Wow!!"

Hearing the news, the sickle meerkat slammed his footsteps and stood in front of Kuidou.

The eyes are narrowed, and the undersides of the eyes are hazy.

"Bracket!!"

Kuidou was not afraid at all, opened his arms, and took a step forward.

Calm and firm.

Whoosh –

The next second.

The scythe meerkat moved.

But this time it's not very fast.

Instead, at a speed that everyone could see, he rushed towards Kuidou's chest.

Seeing this, Kuidou was not ambiguous, and raised his hand to grab it.

But.

Just as it was about to grab the scythe wielded by the scythe meerkat, it suddenly grabbed a void.

Obviously, whether it is in the line of sight or the angle, it should grab the sickle of the fox meerkat with this hand.

But the feeling in his hand told it.

Scratch the air!

The sickle, like chopsticks stuck in water, broke and disappeared

Quietly.

"Kui Dou, behind you, wooden armor!"

Li Changan, who was not as comfortable and calm as he behaved, always looked at Kui Dou and the sickle meerkat.

When he saw that the scythe meerkat suddenly became slow in its movements and sluggish in attack, he had a premonition that something was wrong.

Give a reminder as soon as possible.

Therefore, the moment Kuidou grabbed the scythe, the branched and messy branch behind it turned into a piece of armor like a heart shield under control, protecting the vest.

Puff –

Just as Li Changan expected.

It was obviously a scythe that was swung from the front, but it appeared strangely and quietly behind Kuidou.

With a chaotic aura, the scythe quietly sank into the wooden armor.

It's just that when he was about to pierce Kuidou's body, it was as if he was caught by something, and it was difficult to get in anymore.

The scythe meerkat widened slightly, and his eyes were full of surprise as he looked at Kuidou.

The same is true for the Qi army.

This move is the real killer move of him and the sickle meerkat fox.

Surprise and attack unprepared.

But it was still prevented!

"Me"

Qi Jun, who reacted quickly, spoke immediately.

However, he reacts quickly, and there are others who react faster than him.

"Kuidou!"

Li Changan secretly drank in his heart.

Hearing this, Kuidou instantly realized, and grabbed the sickle meerkat that was still in the accident with one hand, and stomped it under his feet.

Root Extraction!

The dark brown tendrils of fine roots burrowed into the meerkat mercilessly as it struggled and screamed.

In the blink of an eye, the sickle meerkat was pierced by the dense roots.

And the other side.

Qi Jun, who had just opened his mouth and wanted to admit defeat, suddenly burst out of the messy pile of wood behind him, and a sharp wooden thorn burst out from his chest.

Recognition. Hoho"

Blood spurted out of Qi Jun's mouth, and he stiffly looked down at his chest.

The wood wrapped in crimson looks so eye-catching.

Many viewers in the audience were also shocked by the sudden changes that appeared in an instant.

They don't understand.

A second ago, didn't Qi Jun and the sickle meerkat still firmly occupy the initiative and advantage?

Why, why is it suddenly gone?

Bang –

With the fall of the Qi army.

The scythe meerkat, which was trampled under the feet of Kui Dou and had countless tendrils running through its body, also dried up at a speed visible to the naked eye.

And the hideous wounds on Kuidou's body recovered quickly.

Since there is no soil in this ring.

Then make your own soil!

"Good!!"

A loud shout came from the box upstairs.

Bai Chengjie, who was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, was smiling and clapping his hands at the moment.

looked at Li Changan's eyes, full of appreciation.

Obviously, he was satisfied with Li Changan's ruthlessness and did not even give the other party a chance to admit defeat.

Turning his head slightly to look at the sharp soldiers beside him, he saw that his face was a little solemn.

Asked with a smile:

"How's it going, Sharpshooter, have you ever beaten Evergreen?"

Hearing this, the sharp soldier's expression became solemn again, and after thinking for a while, he replied heavily and briefly:

"Can't win."

Can't win.

Bai Chengjie's eyebrows were slightly raised, and his smile was a little more meaningful.

Just because you can't win doesn't mean you're going to lose.

It just shows that once Li Changan's "indomitable heart" of the indomitable tree demon is stacked, it will be difficult for his spirit beast to break through its defenses.

If you can't even break through the defense, then you can't win.

But.

The Indomitable Dryad's shortcomings are also exposed, his spirit beast can't win against the Indomitable Dryad, but the Unyielding Dryad can't defeat his spirit beast like defeating the Scythe Meerkat either.

With the increase in the number of battles, the indomitable dryad's strong defensive ability and the perverted defense blessing of the "Indomitable Heart" have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

But because of this, its inadequacies are also exposed.

I don't know why.

It seems that no one has noticed that in addition to Kuidou's defensive ability, its self-recovery ability has also surpassed that of spirit beasts of the same level.

It can only show that the impression of "indomitable heart" is too profound, and people subconsciously ignore some details.

Bai Chengjie is happy, and naturally some people are unhappy.

For example, Chu Fanguang, who is facing the bread box from the air.

He turned his head with a dark face and looked at the rest of his men behind him.

But this time, no one met his eyes.

I can't help it.

The "Indomitable Heart" of the Indomitable Dryad below had already been stacked, and the injuries had already recovered, and none of them had the confidence to be able to get rid of this Unyielding Dryad in seconds.

Since you know that you can't win, is there still a need to go down and fight with you?

They estimated that in order to get rid of the current Unyielding Dryad in seconds, they would have to have the strength of the negative level eighth order, or even the ninth order.

But this kind of strength is already four fights.

The one who went down in four and beat three in three?

It's not glorious to win.

On top of that, you don't really have to win.

If you let that indomitable dryad stack the "Indomitable Heart" a few more times, and wait until the negative level of the ninth order can't give substantial damage, then it will really be too big.

The main thing is that they can't be sure where the upper limit of the will of the unyielding dryad below with a somewhat excited expression is.

If you can really fight against the negative level of the ninth order, what should you do when the time comes?

Send a third-order spirit master?

"Is there anyone else?"

Li Changan stood beside Kui Dou and looked up at the box where Chu Fanguang was.

One hundred thousand.

Is there anything faster to make money than this?

For money, Li Changan has always made no secret of his liking of money.

"Yes, Chu Fanguang, is there anyone else?"

Bai Chengjie also asked.

Click-

Chu Fanguang, who was in front of the floor-to-ceiling window opposite, smashed the wine glass on the glass.

The huge glass then became dim, and it was no longer possible to see what was inside.

"Hahahaha-"

Bai Chengjie's hearty laughter echoed in the huge arena.

After a moment he said:

"Changqing, come up, it seems that the other side is scared."

Hearing this, Li Changan shrugged his shoulders and showed pity.

It's a shame.

I knew that I should have let Kui Dou behave a little weaker, win a little more reluctantly, and maybe I could trick one to come down and slaughter him.

"Brackets?"

Feeling Li Changan's thoughts, Kui Dou scratched his head, innocently unsure why.

Li Changan didn't explain, just smiled and patted its arm, and praised:

"Well done, Kuidou."

It's not because of winning the Qi army and the sickle meerkat.

It's because just now, when Kuidou reached out to grab the sickle of the scythe meerkat, his back was covered with "wooden armor" for defense.

Dual-minded!

Although this is not strictly a double task.

But to let Kui Dou, a big Hanhan who only knows how to immerse himself in training and fighting, be distracted, it shows that Li Changan's intellectual development of it, so that it can use "weaving wood" to exercise distraction, the training arrangement has been effective.

This is considered to be a kuidou, and he has taken the first step on the road to evolve in the direction of the future tree man.

It is also an extremely important step.

"Bracket"

Kui Dou just nodded, grabbed the body of the sickle fox meerkat that had been completely shriveled on the ground, pulled out the spirit core, and asked Li Changan:

Do you want a scythe?

"Don't."

Li Changan waved his hand.

It's not a tool, but you have to find a craftsman to forge it, which is too expensive.

Besides, there are no suitable spirit beasts for use.

It's not worth a few bucks to sell.

"Bracket."

Kuidou looked down again in a daze.

Throw the scythe meerkat in the ring and abandon it as if it were a shoe.

Back to the box.

Bai Chengjie stepped forward with some enthusiasm and grabbed Li Changan's shoulders and shook him vigorously.

"Well done, Changqing, let me breathe a bad breath."

Li Changan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said quite respectfully:

"That's what I'm supposed to do."

"Okay, hahahaha-good!"

After laughing heartily a few times again, Bai Chengjie said:

"I've had people put 150,000 into your card."

"One hundred and fifty thousand?" Li Changan was slightly stunned.

Isn't it 100,000?

"100,000 is what you deserve for winning, and 50,000 is the reward for speaking out for me."

Bai Chengjie waved his hand, and seemed to be indifferent to the 150,000 that surprised Li Changan.

Hearing this, Li Changan secretly smashed his mouth.

He regretted it.

It's true.

I knew that I should have made Kuidou a little weaker, if I could kill another one.

That's 300,000!

It's a bit heartache.

Bai Chengjie obviously didn't know what he was thinking, and patted him on the shoulder,

"Let's go, eat."

Looking at his happy appearance, Li Changan felt.

It shouldn't just be because he won a ring match.

Bai Chengjie is still a bit of a city.

Judging from the fact that he can still suppress his emotions in the face of Chu Fanguang's provocation in person, he will not be so happy.

That's because . The ability shown by himself and Kui Dou made Bai Chengjie more confident in what he was going to do in the future, and Li Changan made a reasonable guess in his heart.

In other words, it should not be long before Bai Chengjie informs him of his purpose, right?

It's just not clear what role the people of the "Astronomical Society" play in it?

Cooperate?

Exploit?

In fact, for a moment, Li Changan felt that it was as if. It's also good to make money under Bai Chengjie.

But it was quickly vetoed by himself.

Having a reasonable and legal identity is more important than the money.

Besides, he needed the power of the Tranquility Society to help find Zou Hailin.
