Chapter 185: The Puppet of the Foundation Building Period
The explosion sounded, and before the audience could understand what had been discovered, the black smoke formed by the explosion enveloped the entire arena, and the sound of weapons fighting was heard from inside.
The black smoke passed through the protective film and continued to spread outside the competition platform, if it weren't for a few seniors in the Yudan period who saw the opportunity quickly and cast some spells to put away the black fog that overflowed the competition platform, I am afraid that many monks watching the game here would have been poisoned by this black poisonous mist.
"Damn, I was scared to death, I almost got caught in this poisonous mist. A monk who was closer to the competition platform scolded in fear, and hurriedly retreated more than ten meters away to watch the game again.
At this time, those spectators who were closer to the competition platform retreated more than ten meters because they were afraid of the poisonous fog overflowing from the competition platform, and the edge of the competition platform suddenly became empty.
The divine thoughts of the cultivators in the Qi refining period were very weak, and they couldn't spy far, and the black poisonous mist had a little effect of isolating the divine thoughts. Therefore, although you can feel the intensity of the battle on the stage, the vast majority of the audience can't really see the current situation of the battle inside.
"Commander, how is the battle inside?Who has the advantage?" Lao Fan made a heavy bet, couldn't see the specific progress of the game, and didn't know the bottom of his heart, so he asked Ren Xiaoyao with some concern.
"It's not up or down, but strictly speaking, the poisonous scorpion has a slight upper hand. Ren Xiaoyao's eyes widened, all his thoughts were released, and he could only see the battle situation roughly.
As soon as Ren Xiaoyao's words came out, Lao Fan and Li Xiaohong both had a stunned look on their faces, obviously showing worry. Seeing this, Ren Xiaoyao temporarily withdrew his divine thoughts, came back and said with a smile to the two: "Don't worry, although Zhen Wuyu is at a disadvantage, he is only controlling the four puppets to fight." If you control eight combat golems, or use more and better golems, the poisonous scorpions will also be very dangerous. Besides, puppets are not afraid of poison, as long as they protect their true bodies, they are equivalent to being invincible. ”
"Is that really a win-win for Wuyu?" asked Lao Fan with a twinkle in his eyes.
"Not really, the black balls thrown by the poisonous scorpion before are extremely powerful, and they can destroy the four puppets of the twelfth peak of Qi Refining in one fell swoop, if he has more of these black balls, the puppets of the true jade are not enough to explode. In addition, the quality of the defensive spirit clothing on the poisonous scorpion is extremely good, and there should be an underwear that is at least a semi-extreme spiritual weapon in the body, under this kind of defense, it is also very difficult for the true jade puppet to break through the defense and hurt the poisonous scorpion. Another point is that both sides should have some hole cards unplayed, and the number of winners and losers is uncertain. Ren Xiaoyao said thoughtfully.
In the battle between Ren Xiaoyao and the poisonous scorpion, although on the surface, Ren Xiaoyao had a slight upper hand, but the poisonous scorpion was not injured, and the means were not exhausted. Although some of the real strength of the poisonous scorpion has been forced, if he wants to fight again, Ren Xiaoyao may have to use some other killer skills, and on top of this qualifying tournament, Ren Xiaoyao does not want to expose his strength too much.
Although the net worth of the poisonous scorpion and the various rewards related to the competition are very moving, what Ren Xiaoyao values most is the Qingyun trial in the Qingyun space, compared to that, the net worth of the poisonous scorpion is not important. Before entering the Qingyun Space, in order to avoid attracting the attention of more potential enemies, Ren Xiaoyao decided to keep a low profile as much as possible.
Listening to Ren Xiaoyao's ambiguous answer, Lao Fan was anxious there, although he tried his best to suppress it, but his inadvertent touch to his storage still clearly showed that he was now very worried about winning or losing.
Seeing this, Ren Xiaoyao patted Lao Fan's shoulder, and said with a smile: "If you want to gamble, you have to be able to afford to lose, if you don't even dare to face losing some spirit stones, your state of mind, even if you build a foundation in the future, I'm afraid you won't be able to go far in the foundation building period." ”
Ren Xiaoyao's words were very direct, without the slightest emotion, Lao Fan listened, his body shook slightly, his expression immediately returned to normal, and he made a big salute to Ren Xiaoyao: "Thank you for the guidance of the head of the regiment, Lao Fan, I am too obsessed with winning or losing." ”
Li Xiaohong listened to Ren Xiaoyao's words, and was not so nervous, but focused on the competition stage, wanting to watch the game in earnest.
"The alchemist has been alchemy for a long time, and his control of divine thoughts is more refined than that of ordinary monks, you compare the entire martial arts competition platform to an alchemy furnace, and compare the two people competing on the stage to the two pills being refined in the Dan furnace, try it again. Seeing that Li Xiaohong was still looking at the black fog on the stage in confusion, Ren Xiaoyao reminded him.
Hearing this, Li Xiaohong's face became stern, she stepped forward a few meters, closed her eyes, and slowly sensed the battle on the martial arts platform. After more than a dozen breaths, Li Xiaohong opened her eyes and was already able to roughly sense the battle situation on the stage.
"Thank you, Master, for your advice. Li Xiaohong gave Ren Xiaoyao a big salute.
Ren Xiaoyao just smiled, no longer spoke, but concentrated on watching the game in the field. After Li Xiaohong saluted, she also watched the game seriously. Only Lao Fan couldn't see the live game in the field because his divine thoughts were not strong and his spiritual eye skills were extremely ordinary, so he had to pay full attention to the black fog on the competition platform and listen to the sound of fighting coming from the black fog.
After half a pillar of incense, the black poisonous mist did not dissipate, but there were three loud noises on the competition platform, and a small number of contestants, including Ren Xiaoyao, all had a stern face. Suddenly, a gust of wind rose, and all the black fog on the competition platform was blown away, and on the competition platform, it was clearly visible that two humanoid puppets more than three meters tall flew up out of thin air and launched a fierce attack on the poisonous scorpion. The poisonous scorpion's demon beast, the poisonous tail black scorpion, became a mess of mud and died on the competition platform.
"The puppets in the early stage of foundation building! are still two!" shouted in surprise from the audience.
"What is the identity of this person? The puppet technique is a declining immortal cultivation skill, and now a Qi Refining and Dispersion Cultivator has so many puppets, and it is really incredible that he also has a foundation building puppet. ”
The people in the audience talked a lot, the battle on the stage did not last too long, no matter how powerful the defensive spirit weapon on the poisonous scorpion was, it could not resist the combined attack of the two puppets in the early stage of foundation building, and after only a few rounds, the poisonous scorpion was beaten and flew out of the competition platform with blood in his mouth.
At this time, Zhen Wuyu's face was also pale, and he should have suffered a lot of injuries in the previous explosion field.
The Guardian King Poisonous Scorpion won thirty-seven consecutive games, and in the thirty-eighth game, True Wuyu defeated the Poisonous Scorpion and became the new champion. Half of the 300,000 spirit stones obtained by the poisonous scorpion because of the winning streak were returned to the truth.
As soon as the results of the match came out, the whole audience wailed, and in this unexpected battle of powerhouses, most of the monks bet on the poisonous scorpion to win, and the result was destitute.
"Won!haha!" Old Fan roared, ignoring the disdainful eyes of the monks around him, his face turned red with excitement.
In this match, there are only a handful of real winners, and the vast majority of them lose miserably. The upper limit of each person's bet in each game is 300,000 spirit stones, Ren Xiaoyao let bet 200,000 spirit stones, Li Xiaohong and Lao Fan each bet 100,000 spirit stones, excluding the hard work fee to the World Chamber of Commerce, Ren Xiaoyao earned 1.4 million spirit stones, and Li Xiaohong and Lao Fan each earned 700,000 spirit stones.
Watch the game, bet on the spirit stone, lose miserably, win crazy.
Seeing that Zhen Wuyu had no intention of ending, the host of the competition announced that the defense match would continue.
It's just that at this time, although Zhen Wuyu's face was pale, but with the experience of the poisonous scorpion before, many participants were not sure whether this Zhen Wuyu was pretending to be weak and deceiving people. What's more, even if Wuyu was seriously injured, the two puppets in the early stage of foundation building were placed there, which made most of the contestants feel a sense of powerlessness in their hearts.
No one wants to take the initiative to play, and randomly selected contestants also admit defeat as soon as they play. The off-the-court gambling game, because the ratio of wins and losses is too great, was directly suspended.
However, this Zhen Wuyu didn't know for what reason, after nine people in a row admitted defeat, that is, won ten games in a row, he was rewarded with 100,000 spirit stones, so he took the initiative to give up guarding.
The new champion was quickly selected at random, because there was less of the previous madman's deposit, and there was some mystery among the remaining contestants, and from time to time someone challenged the champion, and the tournament gradually became lively. In this ongoing tournament, there are occasional people who win three games in a row to advance to the next round, but most of them win one or two rounds and have too much mana, and have to give up the champion, and after recovering their mana, they will challenge the champion again.
Since Ren Xiaoyao fought with the poisonous scorpion, he has never taken the initiative to challenge on stage, and has been watching the games of other contestants from the sidelines, occasionally placing bets, and winning and losing.
An hour later, the number of players who have won three games in a row has reached thirty-six, and the rest are some contestants who are not strong or have hidden strength. But these contestants, who are not strong, have little difference in strength from each other, and the competition is full of suspense and chance, and the fight is even more tragic anyway.
After winning two games in a row, a contestant was about to usher in the battle for promotion, and suddenly, Ren Xiaoyao, who had never been on the stage to challenge, came to the stage to challenge without warning. Outsiders may not know the reason, but Ren Xiaoyao and the champion on the stage know their own things. This champion is the person who Ren Xiaoyao felt very hostile to him before, and now when the other party won two games to usher in an important promotion game, Ren Xiaoyao made a move, as long as the other party is unwilling to give up the game, Ren Xiaoyao will kill this person even if he exposes part of his strength.
At this time, Ren Xiaoyao really saw what this person who was extremely hostile to him looked like, this person was in his thirties, his face was extremely ordinary, and Ren Xiaoyao had no impression at all. But Ren Xiaoyao has no impression at all, but he has great hostility towards Ren Xiaoyao, which makes Ren Xiaoyao like a stalk in his throat, and he must find a way to eradicate it.
"I throw in the towel!"
To Ren Xiaoyao's surprise, the champion called Fu Tian, who had won two games in a row, took the initiative to admit defeat.
The people in the audience booed, but this Fu Tian didn't care, and after exiting the competition platform, he directly found a hidden corner and stood still. Ren Xiaoyao watched this person get off the competition platform, his face was expressionless, but the killing intent in his heart was even stronger.
"It's time to advance. Ren Xiaoyao said in his heart that he did not leave the competition platform, but took the initiative to stay on the competition platform and accept the challenges of other contestants.
At this time, a familiar challenger appeared, and it turned out to be Simon Blood. Simon Blood had never appeared in the previous defensive match, even if he was randomly selected, he was not selected, and at this time, he actually took the initiative to challenge Ren Xiaoyao.
"Are you sure you want to challenge me? You know, I'm not going to keep my hand, and I'm going to try to kill you on this jousting ring. Ren Xiaoyao's face changed slightly, and then he said expressionlessly.
"I need to feel in battle, and you, Commander, are the best target. I know you're a little suspicious about what happened outside of the former Moon City, but I don't care, I just want to be able to fight the regimental commander here. Simon said indifferently.
Ximen Blood was already at the peak of the twelfth order of Qi refining at this time, and it was not far from the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining Period, and the most shocking thing was the bloody battle intent on Ximen Blood, which made people shudder.
"Since you insist, then each according to his ability. Ren Xiaoyao said simply, sat down cross-legged, and waited for the game to start.
Ximen Blood also sat down more than 20 meters away from Ren Xiaoyao, closing his eyes and meditating. The noise outside the court was abnormal, Ren Xiaoyao had exposed a few points of strength because of the previous battle with the poisonous scorpion, and although Ximen Blood had not competed, he was very eye-catching in the first round of the game, and was also listed as a strong contestant. In this game, the ratio of wins and losses between Ren Xiaoyao and Ximen Blood was 1 to 1.
"Miss Li, this Ximen Blood's strength in the Autumn Knife Demon Hunting Regiment was not below the head of the group at all, and even in the battle with the head of the group before, he had always been the head of the group, which side should we bet on?" Lao Fan asked Li Xiaohong with some hesitation.
