At the tall entrance of the Leopard Field, a sign was erected, announcing the battle. People from other continents, water from the moon, fight against powerful people, a total of five games, no matter how old or young, male or female.
Suddenly, Black Rock City seemed to have exploded, and discussions arose everywhere. Although there are powerful people who come to the court to invite battles on weekdays, the humble outsiders dare to challenge openly, which inevitably makes the powerful people in the city filled with righteous indignation.
A newly opened wine shop in the city called Xiaoyao Pavilion was filled with people, talking about the matter.
When this wine shop opened, it was very lively, and all the dignitaries in the city came to support it. It was said to be opened by the respected witch doctor Zhege, and it even served wine that could only be tasted when sick or injured.
According to people who attended the opening that day, Mr. Zhege invited several leaders, including Ming Zheng, to taste a bowl of wine made with a secret method. This wine is very different from what we have seen in the past. It is not only refreshing and sweet, but also very strong. One sip will make you feel like you are in the clouds. It is truly like the legendary nectar.
It is said that the witch doctor once advised General Ming Zheng not to drink too much. Unconvinced, Ming Zheng drank a bottle and was helped back home. When he woke up the next day, General Mingzheng sent people to buy several altars with a lot of money.
At this time, the wine in Xiaoyao Pavilion quickly became popular, and anyone with some status would be proud to have a taste of it. What is even more surprising is that there is a mysterious box in Xiaoyao Pavilion, which is dedicated to secret delicacies.
According to some people, on the first day after going out, a leader who had eaten delicious food burst into tears and said that there was such a delicious food in the world. Why did he only encounter it today? He had lived half his life in vain. After eating such delicacies, how can I still eat those rough meals in the future? Isn't it going to starve to death?
After all kinds of rumors, Xiaoyao Pavilion suddenly became the most popular place in the city, with cars and horses rushing and people shouting, and the street in front of the door was actually blocked.
In desperation, Zhege had to announce to the outside world that he would only sell thirty bowls of wine every day, on a first-come, first-served basis. Meals are provided for one table every two days, and reservations must be made ten days in advance.
Today, Xiaoyao Pavilion was packed with people as usual. They were not drinking here, but waiting for the day's wine to come out so they could take it home and enjoy it with their families.
Wu Gen and Bao Xiang were hiding in Zhege's courtyard, shirtless, filtering and purifying the animal milk wine. Shui Congyue and others had already moved here from that cramped residence. Anyway, there were many empty houses here, so it didn't cost much.
Zhege stayed aside and started to do something, watching the two men's actions intently, and asking a few questions from time to time. Being able to have this well-known witch doctor in the city do such chores in person shows how much Xiaoyao Pavilion has made in the past two days.
Now Zhege has no other thoughts, he just wants to learn the skills of Wu Gen and Baoxiang. As long as you really master it, when these two people leave, you will soon become the richest man in Liren.
The world is prosperous, and everyone is here for profit. Under the temptation of huge interests, the relationship between Zhege, Wu Gen and others quickly became familiar. Now in Black Rock City, whoever wants to have trouble with these outsiders, the first one who refuses to agree is Zhege.
In order to better win over these people, Zhege also took out his own medicine to treat their injuries. I have to say, this old fox really has some good stuff hidden. When the goat was healing Bao Xiang that day, he stuffed some medicinal foam into the goat's mouth, which quickly relieved the injury.
As for why goats are used to heal wounds, it is not that the person is trying to make a mystery, but that this medicine is originally used. In a mountain, I found an injured goat gnawing on a kind of rock and soil. I took some back and tried it. It was indeed very effective in treating external injuries. However, this kind of soil needs to be soaked with goat saliva before it can be used on the human body, so I always bring a goat with me when I practice medicine.
The old guy was also careful. Every time he gave medicine to Liu You, Qihe and others, the dosage was not very sufficient, which slowed the recovery of injuries. In this case, Wu Gen would have to stay longer, and he would learn more methods.
"How are the arrangements for Ai Pu?" Wu Gen asked without looking up as he looked at the clear wine dripping from the funnel.
"It has been posted in Xiaoyao Pavilion. If you want to participate, everyone must first hand over a piece of sky crystal." Zhege quickly replied.
Wu Gen nodded. With Zhege as guarantee, the bet set up for Shui Congyue's battle went smoothly. Wu Gen has handed over the matter to Ye Ziming, who is an expert
.
Since there was no gold or silver in Da Yizhou, most people exchanged things for things, so Wu Gen used sky crystals instead of coins as a way to compare prices. The savings were immeasurable.
"How about the newly recruited girls?" Wu Gen continued to ask.
Upon hearing this, Zhege had a headache. According to Wu Gen's idea, singing and dancing should be added to Xiaoyao Pavilion. For this matter, Wu Gen specially went to find Feng'er and Ning Liancha, and asked them to teach some powerful women about music and dance.
But after seeing Feng'er's murderous eyes, Wu Gen ran away. Fortunately, Ning Lian's tea party involved some neon dancing, but it didn't help Wu Gen's face, so he reluctantly agreed.
Zhege recruited some powerful girls in the city for Wu Gen to catch his eye. Well, they were all big-bodied, round-waisted and tall. Ning Liancha made a casual movement and asked the girls to follow suit. But these people were acting like tigers and tigers, as if they were going to fight in battle. This was not to entertain people, but to kill them.
There was no other way. According to Wu Gen's standards, Zhege searched everywhere and finally got some girls with slender bodies and good looks. They were rehearsing intensively and were preparing to try their skills in Xiaoyao Pavilion in the near future.
Wu Gen tightly covered the wine jar filled with wine, stood up and rubbed his stomach. The arrow wound was no longer harmful. I turned around and saw that there were not many people left in the yard.
Yang Zheng was sent to cook in Xiaoyao Pavilion. He didn't expect that this man who usually seemed a bit dull could cook well. The wine and food in the elegant room these two days were thanks to him, which was a surprise.
Shui Congyue will fight Li Ren tomorrow, and Wu Gen is ready to put down what he is doing and go to help in the battle himself. For this reason, Wu Gen also specifically searched for Zhege, borrowed ten pieces of sky crystal, and bet them all on Shui Congyue.
Early the next morning, Wu Gen got up early and went to the battle field with Bao Xiang, Ye Ziming and Shui Congyue.
Walking on the street, people were pointing fingers along the way. Although there were occasional looks of dissatisfaction, no one said bad words or used any means of provocation to block the road. Strong people value force, and they respect those who dare to enter the battlefield and disdain to use some dirty tricks.
When we arrived at the battle arena, the terrain was open and there was a huge five-story ring-shaped building with a huge leopard head carved on the main entrance, which was very eye-catching.
There was already a sea of people at the entrance, the blockage was blocked, and some people were arguing with red faces. It turned out that there were only five places to compete with Shui Congyue, and many people came early in the morning to queue up to get their numbers. Those who caught it were naturally ecstatic, while those who failed to grab it were ridiculed loudly.
Shui Congyue entered the venue proudly. According to the rules of the Arena of Valor, only those who participated in the battle could enter in advance, while others had to wait until the official opening before entering in order.
Wu Gen and others had to wait patiently outside, but among a group of tough people, a few people stood out.
Zi Ming sneaked over quietly and whispered a few words in Wu Gen's ear.
"That's it?" Wu Gen asked with a frown. It turns out that Ye Ziming came here to report the number of people who had placed bets. Since the news was released, only 21 people have placed bets so far. One of them was Wu Gen's bet on Shui Congyue, and the others were all bets on Li Ren's victory.
It seems that Li Ren is still not very interested in this kind of gameplay. Wu Gen rubbed his chin and said, "It seems that I have to think of some ways, otherwise my earnings this time will be too little." Actually, I don't blame Li Ren for not being able to do it. Enthusiastic, the key is that Wu Gen’s rules for placing bets require too high a price.
Just to participate in the gambling, you need a piece of sky crystal. Sky crystals are not something that is found on the street. Even if someone is good at fighting, they can steal some from other tribes. Many people were still reluctant to throw such a precious sky crystal into this unfamiliar game.
Wu Gen thought for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "It seems that we can't do it without some means. Ye Ziming, are you afraid of death?"
Ye Ziming was stunned for a moment, and a chill came over him, knowing that Wu Gen was going to come up with another crooked idea. These days, any of the dozen or so people who can move are ordered by him to do some inexplicable things. Ye Ziming deeply felt that this was not a master who could be calmed down. He not only harmed himself, but also harmed others.
"Wu Gen, I'm a coward, please don't hurt me." Ye Ziming glanced around with a sly eyebrow, feeling a vague feeling of something bad.
"Don't worry, just in case you die. Go find some cards.
Son, look for Zhege and write down the words Congyue will win, and those who are tough will not be tough. "Wu Gen pulled Yang Zheng and Ye Ziming over and ordered in a low voice.
Ye Ziming and Yang Zheng looked at the bustling fierce people around them, shrunk their necks, and looked at each other. Even if they committed suicide, there was no need to use such cruel methods.
Wu Gen quietly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, "There is nothing we can do. We have used up the sky crystals. If we save more this time, we will lose a big weapon in the future. Besides, Li Ren is the tyrant of the Great Relic Continent. There are a lot of good things, if we don’t take advantage of this time to get more, there won’t be this shop after passing this village.”
"Why don't you call Zhege to calm down the situation, so that he can help block us before we are beaten to death?" Ye Ziming suggested carefully with a grimace on his face.
"Yes." Wu Gen thought for a moment and nodded. He should be called over. There is a commission from him here, so how can it be done without some effort.
After a while, Ye Ziming came over with four signs, glanced around secretly and trembled, "Wu Gen, I can tell you, everyone has to hold up the signs, and no one can run away."
"What did Zhege say?" Wu Gen quickly asked.
"Zhege said that he will come over before we are beaten to death. However, he also said that there is no need to worry too much. Strong people like to fight. The good thing is that they fight openly and don't bother to fight in groups."
Wu Gen nodded, okay, risk it all and gain wealth in danger. They distributed the signs one by one and took the lead to stand at the entrance of the fighting field. The four people held the signs high.
The noisy entrance soon became quiet. Li Ren, who was leaning in front, looked at the four foreigners in surprise.
The people behind didn't know what was going on in front, so they stood on tiptoes and looked around. Soon, angry roars sounded from the front row, and the sound waves gradually extended to the back, and finally gathered together, and the roar shook the sky.
Challenges sounded one after another, and Li Ren was filled with indignation and waved his fist, almost touching the four people's faces. Looking at the surging crowd, Ye Ziming's face turned pale. He had expected that Li Ren would be dissatisfied, but he didn't expect the reaction to be so big.
"Shut up, if you have the ability to show off in the battle of bravery, it's possible that tough people can only bark." Wu Gen shouted loudly, pointing to the sign in his hand, "Everyone, we have the confidence to show off like this. Go in today. The Great Water Warrior has the title of being the enemy of a thousand men. Beating five powerful men is like fighting a chicken or a dog. If you are not convinced, we might as well make a bet."
"How to bet?" someone asked loudly. Wu Gen poked Ye Ziming next to him. The latter, with a smile on his face, carefully took out a sign with instructions for placing bets in Xiaoyao Pavilion.
At this moment, Zhege lost no time and came out, "Everyone, so many people are noisy and noisy, which is inconsistent with my strong style. If you really want to support the five fighting warriors, it is better to do something practical. I am old and incompetent, give me some advice. Each warrior bets two sky crystals."
After hearing what Zhege said, some people escaped from the crowd and went straight to Xiaoyao Pavilion.
