Chapter 373: Death Table
If someone has a secret in their heart, and they are always worried that others will know about it, once it is revealed, the panic is enough to break down.
Fortunately, Zhu Tianpeng, Yuan Qing and Fox Girl Yingqiu are all enlightened monks, and they have lived long enough to be stable in the face of unexpected events, and when they heard someone identify them as the culprit, they did not show a panicked look, but quickly looked at the person who spoke.
The man was a mad cow, staring at them with a fierce face, and the horns on his head were shining.
There were many rangers in the hall, and when they heard the mad cow's testimony, they all fell silent at the moment.
"Why do you say that we are the culprits? Just because you have a holiday with us?" Lao Zhu did not deliberately raise the volume of his speech, but everyone could hear it clearly.
It turns out that these two people have a holiday? Mad Cow's words may not be true, they may be deliberately framed!
"You three recruits, are you really going to provoke my old cow, will the old cow let you live so nourishingly?"
Everyone nodded secretly, feeling that the mad cow's words were reasonable. How can a knight who has just been promoted compete with an old general? With the arrogance of a mad bull, he will not allow the recruits who offend him to live, and there are many ways to secretly kill Zhu Tianpeng and the three.
"It's true that we're recruits, but you're not necessarily better than us. Don't think you have a pair of horns and just because you're good!"
Except for Zhu Tianpeng, no one else can say this.
Although some of the guys didn't understand, the recruit's attitude towards the mad cow was clear. Three recruits, really have the means to fight the mad cow? That's too violent, isn't it?
"You call us Mad Cow, right? Don't talk about my brother, it's me Zhu Yuanqing, you may not be able to win steadily, what are you bragging about? If you really want to see that we are unhappy, just use weapons to speak!"
The little fat man Yuan Qing's assist was just right, further shifting the topic to the combat power competition between the two sides.
Everyone in the hall began to get excited, and the tone of speaking to this group of recruits was a trend of going to the death stage!
The mad cow has always been arrogant, how can he tolerate the contempt of a few recruits? He immediately became furious and shouted: "If you want to find death, the old cow will fulfill you, go to the death platform, and let the old cow cut off your heads with an axe!"
If things go with the flow, it will inevitably end on the stage of death. But there are so many rangers in the hall that some people don't care about the life-and-death duel between them.
"Wait!"
The big bearded man stood up, he looked at the mad cow, and asked in a rough voice, "Old Niu, you said that they are the culprits who caused the beast tide in the dark area, are you serious?"
"The rangers who have been haunting the dark zone recently, only the three of them are recruits, besides them, who else doesn't know the rules and will mess around in the dark zone?"
Although Mad Bull is full of confidence, there is still a risk in going to the death stage after all, and it is not good to really get hurt. In the face of the big man's inquiry, he answered seriously.
After he finished speaking, Zhu Tianpeng's voice reached everyone's ears: "Mad Cow, don't you dare to go to the death stage and are bent on framing the three of us? You say that we caused the beast tide, what evidence do you have? You can't rely on your nonsense, right?"
The mad cow, who had always been rude and arrogant, calmed down again at this time and said a long series of words.
"On the day of the beast tide, you were hunting in the dark area due south, and you returned to the Sifang Pavilion before the holy day was lifted, or the first batch to come back, at that time you were unsettled, obviously unstable in your heart. ”
"Also, you've been seen in the Dark Jungle being chased by a rat tide. Why do the whens want to chase you? The reason is simple: you are so busy running for your lives that you have broken the taboo of the dark jungle in a panic that the whacks have rioted. ”
"Let's not talk about the mutant beast tide, at least the rat tide in the jungle was caused by you, you won't deny this, right?"
Mad Cow's approach was very clever, first let Zhu Tianpeng admit that they had caused a jungle rat tide. It's hard to refute the thing that caused the rat tide, because there are witnesses.
Once Lao Zhu and the others admitted to causing the rat tide, those rangers who were plagued by the rat tide made their position clear and would definitely stand on the side of the mad cow. The rangers were annoyed in their hearts, and most of them would testify indiscriminately, saying that the mutant beast tide was also caused by Zhu Tianpeng, even if they didn't have any evidence.
No matter how Zhu Tianpeng and the three argue, it is difficult to eliminate the suspicion in the hearts of the rangers, the situation is very bad!
"Hahaha......"
Lao Zhu suddenly laughed wildly, stood up, and continued:
"All of you here, my name is Zhu Tianpeng, a new chivalrous warrior. On the day of the Mutant Beast Tide incident, the three of us were indeed hunting in the dark area due south, and we also hunted and killed a mutant black raccoon. After killing the black beaver, he found a mutated wolf and successfully surrounded it. When we were about to collect the wolf corpse, several mutant beasts rushed from a distance, and we didn't even have time to pick up the wolf corpse, so we hurriedly retreated. Before those few mutant beasts were far away, and more mutant beasts emerged, we realized that there was a beast tide and we could only flee for our lives!"
"The three of us were caught in the tide of beasts, so we could only run wildly, but fortunately, the longitudinal technique taught by our elders was clever and we were able to outrun countless mutant beasts. ”
"Who knows, when I ran out of the dark area and found a rat tide, I could only desperately try my best again, stepping on countless rodents to run towards the city gate. At the end of the run, the rat swarm has fallen behind us, and instead it has become a rat tide chasing us!"
Zhu Tianpeng sighed, didn't wait for everyone to ask, and continued:
"We have an old grudge against Mad Cow, and many people know about it, because Mad Cow is molesting my partner, who is the one next to me!"
Yingqiu stood up from her seat, her slender waist seemed to be unable to bear the weight of her upper body, she looked delicate, and her pretty face was as bright as snow with a sad expression, she saluted everyone in the hall, but she did not speak.
"It is already difficult for a woman to be a ranger, and Mad Bull, a dignified ranger, actually bullies the weak, talks nonsense to her, and wantonly harasses her! As her partner, how can I stand idly by? Naturally, I want to reprimand. Therefore, the mad bull tried to force me to go to the death stage, and at that time, I had just received the ranger nameplate, and I was still a first-class ranger!"
When Lao Zhu said this, the ranger, who had a strong sense of justice and was not afraid of mad cows, stood up and reprimanded loudly.
"This is too unqualified!"
"That is, how can you bully a weak girl?"
"Such a beautiful crystal flower, what qualifications does the mad cow have to occupy it?"
"It's so beautiful! Just looking at it makes people's hearts shake, if you wear less clothes......"
Seeing that those rangers who were holding grudges began to crook the building, Lao Zhu hurriedly changed the topic: "The mad cow wants to use the death table to kill me, but fortunately, General Miao Yidao was also present at the time, he did not hesitate to turn his face with the mad cow, but also to prevent this unfair duel, so the mad cow's conspiracy did not succeed." ”
"Mad Bull said that we were the culprits of the mutant beast tide, and we were powerless to refute it, and we didn't know how to refute it, because there were too many coincidences, and it was very similar to what we did. If anyone wants to blame us for causing the mutant beast tide and trouble us, then come, our brothers!"
There was silence in the hall, and they all felt the grief and indignation in Zhu Tianpeng's heart.
"But before everyone gets into trouble with our brother, I'm going to break with the mad cow first!"
Naturally, it was a decisive battle.
The shopkeeper of the Ranger Pavilion rarely paid attention to the disputes between the rangers. Jiang Fatzi had been watching the play all the time, but when he heard the tone of Zhu Tianpeng's words, he obviously wanted to fight a duel with the mad cow, and his face suddenly changed.
In a sense, Zhu Tianpeng is a ranger cultivated by the Sifang Pavilion, and as soon as he was promoted to a knight, he died in a duel with someone on his own territory, which was a blow to the reputation of the Sifang Pavilion, and the impact was very bad.
"Zhu Tianpeng, Lao Niu, don't be rash! If you really want to go to the death platform, one of you must die, this kind of death is too worthless. Even if the one survives, he will be classified into the blacklist of the Ranger Pavilion, and he will no longer be able to get the rare resources of the Ranger Pavilion, and the path of cultivation in the future will be very difficult and not cost-effective. Listen to my old Jiang's advice, you will give up, okay?"
Mad Cow laughed and said loudly: "Old Jiang, you also heard the wild words of this boy surnamed Zhu, I am a wandering general, I can't be frightened by a new knight, right? What's more, they caused a tide of mutant beasts in the dark area of the south and caused serious losses to everyone, just for this, my old cow can't easily spare them!"
Mad Bull's words were cut and slashed, so that Jiang Fatzi could not speak to persuade him again, so he casually pulled a flag of justice for himself, and pressed Zhu Tianpeng and the three of them on the convicted seat of the culprit. Mad Bull is worthy of being a veteran tourist!
Zhu Tianpeng knew that he couldn't get rid of suspicion, and it was useless to explain it, and the more he explained, the more suspicious he became. He decided to do the opposite.
"Mad Bull, you must blame me for causing the tide of mutant beasts, find a high-sounding reason for yourself, and I will fulfill you. Yes, I am the culprit who caused the tide of mutant beasts! Aren't you going to punish me on behalf of everyone? Lao Zhu gives you a chance!"
Zhu Tianpeng walked to the center of the hall with a fearless face, and said loudly: "The new chivalrous Zhu Tianpeng, challenge the mad cow of the general and never die!"
"Huh?" the hall was in an uproar.
Jiang Fatzi's brows were deeply locked, and he sighed in his heart, Zhu Tianpeng took the initiative to challenge, and the matter was irreparable.
Mad Bull had a fierce face, staring at Zhu Tianpeng for a long time before turning to the counter and saying to Jiang Fat, "Open the death table!"
Jiang Fat shook his head helplessly, asked a bartender to guard the counter for him, took out the opening token of the death table, and took the lead out of the door of the Sifang Pavilion.
The Sifang Pavilion is located in the inner circle of the building around the mountain. The location of the death platform is still going inside, and it is set up on a large flat at the foot of the volcano, which is very bright.
The news that someone was going to fight desperately on the death platform spread quickly, attracting many rangers to gather on the flat.
Miao Yidao learned the news and also came to the death stage.
After he asked the little fat man Yuan Qing to understand what happened, he started a gambling game before the duel began.
"The battle between the mad bull and the new chivalrous Zhu Tianpeng to the death, bet on the mad cow to win, three to one, bet on Zhu Tianpeng to win, one to five! The duel is about to begin, hurry up and place a bet!"
Miao Yidao has a lot of acquaintances, and they all laughed and said: "Yidao, in terms of skills and connections, we are quite convinced by you, but if you talk about vision, you can't." This gamble, you better hurry up and accept it!"
Miao Yidao said dissatisfiedly: "Why can't I have a good vision? I know both sides of the fight, originally, I wanted to stop this duel, but I didn't have time to catch up." Now, you can only open a gamble, if you win some crystal coins, so that you can handle the aftermath of the defeat. ”
"Zhu Tianpeng is a new recruit, who will bet on him? As soon as you start this gamble, you are destined to lose money! We really don't want to harm you! Don't forget, a few days ago, you also lost your own knife to the Southern Tour General. ”
Miao Yidao said impatiently: "Do you like to bet or not, what nonsense are you talking about? When will I Miao Yidao not pay back the debt? If you want to bet, hurry up, bet on the mad cow to lose one for three, and Zhu Tianpeng to lose five for one!"
"Haha, Lao Miao, I bet on Mad Bull for thirty amethysts, and if I win, I don't want your crystal coins, just accompany me to the black area. ”
Miao Yidao looked at the other party with a smile and replied, "No problem!"
Someone started up, and the rangers who wanted to bet enthusiastically became enthusiastic, and the scene was very hot.
"Bet on the mad cow, three amethysts!"
"Nine red crystals, mad cow. ”
There are a lot of bettors, and all of them bet on the mad cow to win.
"One knife, you're too risky, you really owe so much betting, when will you have to pay it back? Alas, I'll give you ten amethysts! Bet on the mad cow to lose." ”
Miao Yidao's eyes widened, trying to stop it, and then turned into a smile and said, "Okay, since my brother takes care of me, I will take this bet." ”
The little fat man and Yingqiu also squeezed into the crowd and participated in the gambling game, so naturally they bought Zhu Tianpeng to win. They gambled less than two amethysts in total, but they attracted the attention of more rangers.
"You see, there are people supporting that recruit. One loses five, maybe it can be an upset! I buy a mad cow and lose, and bet on a red crystal. ”
Then, there were also a few rangers who were lucky enough to bet on Zhu Tianpeng to win, but only eight red crystals were the ones who bet the most.
Mad Bull and Zhu Tianpeng ascended to the death platform.
"Since it is a decisive battle, naturally there is no such thing as admitting defeat, and if you admit that you are invincible during the duel, you can only ask the opponent for forgiveness. The victor gets everything, but not the bodies of the dead. ”
After Jiang Fatzi finished speaking, he opened the protective shield of the death platform.
The function of the shield is to prevent others from disrupting the duel, and even the sound is isolated.
On the death platform, the mad bull had a cold face, his eyes shining with a fierce light, and he calmly took out his battle axe.
Zhu Tianpeng flicked his thumb and held the seven-star gun in his hand.
Everyone in the stage saw Zhu Tianpeng showing the seven stars to rob, thinking that he was taken out of Nazhu. Only the mad cow on the opposite side, because he had been paying attention to Zhu Tianpeng's movements, clearly saw that a ring had turned into a spear.
A weapon that can change at will? This is a divine object that can only be possessed by the children of the chivalrous king and the children of the family! What is the origin of this guy named Zhu Tianpeng? Mad Bull was stunned for a moment, and his heart was a little flustered.
Lao Zhu didn't let go of the mad cow's every move, and after discovering his abnormality, he sneered: "Is there some surprise?"
The mad bull clenched the tomahawk tightly, digging his nails into the flesh, using the pain to alert himself that this was a duel, gently exhaled the turbidity in his chest, and snorted coldly: "The weapon is really good, your combat methods may not be worthy, and in the end, it will be cheap for me!"
Lao Zhu stopped talking nonsense, and Qixing grabbed and stabbed the mad cow in the chest.
The mad bull quickly moved sideways, avoiding the incoming momentum of the Seven Stars and maintaining a safe distance from Zhu Tianpeng.
Everyone standing under the death platform saw that Zhu Tianpeng kept attacking the mad cow, but the mad cow kept dodging and did not counterattack, which was very puzzled.
"What's the matter? Hasn't Mad Bull always been arrogant? Why is he so cautious?"
"It's weird! The recruit's marksmanship isn't exquisite, why does Mad Bull keep backing down?"
"Mad Bull wants to consume the opponent's strength first, and finally kill with one blow?"
