Chapter 69: The Sand Scorpion and the Position of the City Lord
Desert City, inside the Colosseum.
The Colosseum was overcrowded, and Chen Siyu and the two looked for a place to sit down for a long time.
Everyone's faces were fanatical, and their eyes were fixed on the sand in the field, as if they were looking at some rare treasure.
From time to time, someone shouted, waved the clothes in their hands, and threw them into the sky, looking extremely excited.
"What is this doing?" Chen Siyu stabbed a person next to him.
The other party gave him a strange look, "Not a person from the desert?" β
"My brother and I came here to sell some furs, and I heard that the prices here are good." Chen Luoqi said first.
"Oh! This is the Colosseum, as the name suggests, is the one for the fighting beasts, and everyone can participate, as long as you have the sand beasts. β
"What is a sand beast?"
"Whoa! Look in the sand below, those two are sand scorpions. β
Chen Siyu followed his line of sight and looked down, only to see two scorpions the size of calves facing each other in the sand.
"I thought it was any different." Chen Siyu suddenly lost interest.
"I don't understand, in our place, the sand scorpion is the protector here, and it is not easy to have a sand scorpion, let alone let it play." The man glanced at him, with an expression of not saying nonsense if he didn't understand.
"Also, there are bets in this game, and whoever wins can take the treasure that the other party bets on."
"Look at the one on the left, it's the sand scorpion of our city lord, look at this size, look at this hard armor, tsk."
Chen Siyu suddenly became interested and looked at the field, but then, he scratched his head a little embarrassedly and said, "That... It's like your lord's sand scorpion is being pressed and beaten. β
"How... Yes" The other party was about to refute, and after glancing at it with his spare eyes, he suddenly disappeared.
Because in the sand, another sand scorpion really pressed the city lord's sand scorpion, and even climbed on its head, waving its pincers proudly.
"Uh... This must be a mistake, you watch, and you will turn defeat into victory later! The man seemed confident and patted his chest and said.
Chen Siyu continued to look with suspicion, only to see that the city lord's sand scorpion was golden yellow all over, and the other one was slightly lighter, and there were still some black spots on his body, which didn't look very good.
However, it was precisely this mentally ill sand scorpion that was riding on the head of the city lord sand scorpion at this moment, frantically waving its pliers and smashing it on the head of the city lord sand scorpion.
Knock knock! Fortunately, the outer armor of the golden sand scorpion is relatively hard, and it only scratches a little spark, and it does not actually suffer damage.
"How? I'll just say it's okay! The man seemed very proud.
Chen Siyu didn't speak, because he always felt that something was wrong, and as for what was wrong, he couldn't say anything for a while.
Seeing that Chen Siyu didn't talk, the other party became even more energetic, stepped on the position, and waved his shirt to cheer up the golden sand scorpion.
"What's wrong?" Chen Luoqi noticed that something was wrong with his brother.
"It's fine."
Retracting his thoughts, he continued to watch the duel in the arena.
After a series of beatings, the golden sand scorpion finally took action, trying to shake off the spotted sand scorpion on its body.
At the same time, the scorpion tail of the golden sand scorpion also began to wobble, as if looking for a suitable opportunity to attack.
Suddenly, it moved!
The scorpion's tail slammed into the air, stabbing at the spotted sand scorpion with lightning speed.
Clang! It was not as expected, the scorpion tail had not yet fallen, it had already been noticed by the spotted sand scorpion, and the pincers smashed it hard, smashing the scorpion tail away.
Bang β
The spotted sand scorpion jumped down and didn't continue on the other man's head.
Then, the spotted sand scorpion humanely raised its pincers and shook them up and down a few times, as if mocking the golden sand scorpion.
Seeing this, Chen Siyu finally realized what the so-called discord was.
"Uncle, is the sand scorpion a demon beast? Or are monsters allowed to participate? Chen Siyu asked the man.
It seemed like a strange question, but the other party still patiently replied: "Of course not, it's just an ordinary sand scorpion, but the sand scorpion that grew up in the Desert of Death has an exceptionally large physique, but it's definitely not a demon beast." As for whether you can use demon beasts to compete, I don't think I've ever seen a sand scorpion with a demon beast..."
"It's no wonder...," Chen Siyu muttered.
"God babble." After the other party finished answering, he continued to cheer for the sand scorpion.
"That spotted sand scorpion is obviously not an ordinary sand scorpion, it's clearly a demon beast! How can this be won? Chen Siyu said.
Chen Luoqi nodded, he had noticed this from the beginning, but because he was not an aborigine, he didn't have much to do.
As if provoked, the golden sand scorpion rushed towards the spotted sand scorpion regardless of it, attacking frantically.
The result was naturally not what Chen Siyu expected, and after the spotted sand scorpion teased the golden sand scorpion, it solved the game with a blow to the scorpion tail stinger.
The pitch-black scorpion's tail plunged straight into the heart of the golden sand scorpion, and after a while, the original golden body turned black and fell to the ground motionless.
Like a victor, the spotted sand scorpion raised its pincers, as if waiting for the crowd to cheer him on.
But all he received was endless abuse and saliva.
Obviously, the people who came to watch were coming for the sand scorpion of the city lord and had high hopes for it.
However, the more important point is that the stakes are too big this time, and this game cannot afford to lose.
Just as the scene was in chaos, a man in a black robe suddenly appeared beside the spotted sand scorpion.
The appearance of this person undoubtedly attracted most of the attention, only to see the man walk to the center of the field and slowly speak: "I won this game?" β
He touched the sand scorpion's head, as if waiting for an answer.
"Thisβ" The man in charge of the game was speechless.
"No, no, no! You're going to cheat! Someone in the audience shouted.
Some people also chimed in: "That's right, this outsider must have played some tricks in order to seize the position of the city lord!" β
Chen Siyu's pupils shrank, huh? Could it be that the bet on this tournament is the position of the lord of the city? Not really...
This thought flashed through his mind, it wouldn't be so child's play, but looking at the angry aborigines, he was a little unsure.
Bang Bang Bang! The man suddenly clapped his hands, and a smile hung on the corner of his mouth, "It turns out that the so-called desert city is actually some people who don't keep their promises, it's ridiculous!" The words were full of disdain.
At this moment, a plainly dressed man fell from the sky.
"City Lord!" Except for the two brothers Chen Siyu and the person on the field, the rest of the people knelt down in unison and shouted convincingly.
"According to the agreement, if you win, the position of city lord is yours." The city lord paused, suppressed the voices of the others, and continued: "I will do what I say, from this moment on, the city lord of the desert city will be you. β
Everyone was in an uproar, could it be said that the position of the city lord has changed hands like this today?
"That's it, that's fine." The man smiled, as if accomplishing a big thing.
"However, to become the lord of the city, at least you must see people with your true face, otherwise how can you convince the public?" The city lord said.
The man nodded, agreed with the city lord's statement, and slowly lifted his hood, revealing a delicate face that had brought disaster to the country and the people.
"It turned out to be her!" Chen Siyu suddenly lost his voice.
