The Soul Seizing Bell hung high above Yuan Hua's head, and a curtain of golden light spilled from underneath it blocked Zaiji's attacks again and again.
The two of them were not moving, but they were locked in a stalemate on the ring, causing the enthusiasm of a group of onlookers to gradually cool down...
Maintaining the Soul Seizing Bell takes a lot of effort, and Yuan Hua is not a person who likes to hide. Just when he was thinking about how to take action, he saw that the opponent had relaxed his attack due to lack of physical strength, and actually exposed his empty door!
Finally got a chance to fight back, how could Yuan Hua miss it? He dodged Zaiji's palm, then stepped forward and swept the opponent's waist with a horizontal shovel.
"The victory has been decided." Wu Fan suddenly said to himself, smiling and shaking his head.
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Zaiji clasping his hands at a tricky angle to hold Yuan Hua's soul-chasing shovel, and then a blazing sun rose up from his wrist.
Although it was a stalemate again, the situation this time was very different from before.
Yuan Hua looked very ugly, and finally screamed and retreated, staggering to the edge of the ring and teetering on the edge.
Opposite Zaiji was about to feel proud, but he felt a golden light flash in front of his eyes, and was knocked over by a halo, and he also flew into the air.
"Bang...bang!" There were two muffled sounds, and there was no one left in the ring.
…
"what's the situation?"
"Who's winning?"
A group of people in the audience were silent at first, and then started arguing.
"I think...Mayor Zaiji should have landed first..."
"Mayor Zaiji flew out, so based on the distance, he should be half a minute slower than this guest!"
"I'd say you're both wrong. From what I can see, they both fell to the ground at the same time!"
"How is that possible? The two muffled sounds just now were clearly one after the other, how could they possibly hit the ground at the same time?"
A group of people were noisy.
"Whoosh..."
Suddenly, a figure jumped out of the crowd and landed on the ring, interrupting their conversation.
"Huh? It's the old mayor!"
"Look what I'm talking about! Now that the old mayor is on stage, it proves that Mayor Zaiji won the battle just now!"
"Everyone, be quiet!" Although the old mayor is called the old mayor, his hair is dark and shiny, and he has nothing to do with the old name.
Although the old mayor has abdicated, he still retains his power. As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden silence under the arena.
"Boss... I'm sorry..."
Yuan Hua stood on the edge of the ring and flapped his arms. He only regretted that he had no wings and landed on the ground first. Although he screamed miserably just now, he was actually not seriously injured. It was just that the temperature above his head was too high and caused blisters on both of his palms.
"It's okay, it's just a competition, there's no need to work so hard." Wu Fan comforted him with a faint smile, and then secretly moved his muscles.
"I declare that the competition just now... was a draw!" said the old mayor.
"Hahaha... I just said they fell to the ground at the same time!" The person before whispered to others.
"How is that possible?" The man next to him was obviously unconvinced, "Old mayor, I don't understand!"
"Oh? If you have any questions, just ask them." The old mayor was obviously waiting for someone to ask questions.
"Old mayor, it was clearly this distinguished guest who fell into the ring first, why did you say it was a draw?" the man said.
"Hahaha, although this is the case, but..." the old mayor laughed and said to the ring: "You brat! Come here."
Zaiji was grinning under the ring. When he saw the people around him looking at him, he patted his butt and stood up: "What are you looking at me for?"
"Mayor Zaiji, the old mayor is calling you!" Someone next to him pointed to the top of the ring.
Seeing his master waving to him, Zaiji did not dare to hesitate and hurriedly turned over and jumped onto the ring.
"Master, are you looking for me?"
Seeing Zaiji approaching, the old mayor raised his two fingers and pushed diagonally upward from the latter's Yifeng direction, and saw two black pills fall out of the ear holes.
"Huh?" Yuan Hua
Seeing this, his eyes widened and he stamped his feet angrily: "No wonder this guy is not affected by my golden light spell, boss, they are cheating!"
"This is just a competition..." Wu Fan shook his head slightly.
"Of course I know this is a competition, but I just think it's too disgraceful to win by cheating!" Yuan Hua muttered, feeling aggrieved.
"But what if this is a real battle?" Wu Fan frowned slightly, "If the enemy knows your weakness and blocks his ears in advance, do you want him to remove the blockage first?"
"This..." Yuan Hua was speechless.
"Remember, in a real life-and-death struggle, only the one who survives is the winner. No one cares whether you are glorious or not." Wu Fan patted Yuan Hua on the shoulder and consoled him.
"Boss, I remember it!" Wu Fan's words made Yuan Hua listen attentively.
"Although it is true that Zaiji made the last move, he actually relied on my understanding and relied on luck to win!" The old mayor explained calmly on the ring, "If I hadn't blocked his ears, maybe he was We were already defeated from the beginning!"
Hearing this, the crowd became noisy.
"Don't be dissatisfied. Although blocking your ears is not a big deal, if it weren't for the competition restrictions, Zaiji would have died at his hands several times!" The old mayor continued to lecture: "There are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world! We, Shen Huo, The fact that our tribe has been able to survive all kinds of disasters and get to where we are today depends not only on our strength, but more importantly on knowing our enemies and our friends!"
"Speaking of which, the crisis was resolved today only after the opponent's tactics were discovered by me! But you must remember that the powerful enemies you encounter in the future will not be as merciful to you as this guest of Jinsha Temple!"
"You only have one life, and there is no room for negotiation! So... you have to win at all costs! Remember?" When he said the last sentence, the old mayor looked at Yuan Hua casually.
"I remember..." The old mayor's words were similar to Wu Fan's, and Yuan Hua's words were drowned in the cheers of the crowd.
After saying that, the old mayor reached out and held the hot soul-chasing shovel in his hand to eliminate the heat, and then connected it with the soul-seizing bell, returning to its frightening appearance.
"Go! Return the weapon to the guest." Handing the weapon to Zaiji, the old mayor walked towards the edge of the ring.
"Master, did I win or lose this game?" Zaiji didn't hear the result just now, and he was confused at this time.
"draw."
"In that case...master, don't you have another competition?"
"I was negligent." The old mayor suddenly stopped and said, "Everyone, please leave! There is no need for this third competition..."
"Ah?" Zaiji was a little surprised and quickly lowered his voice: "Master, after all, they are also senior's guests. Isn't it a bit bad for us to win without a fight..."
"Why are you so anxious? Can you let me finish my sentence?" After glaring at Zaiji, the old mayor continued: "I lost this third competition..."
After saying this, the old mayor jumped off the ring decisively.
"what's the situation?"
"Did I hear you correctly? The old mayor would actually admit defeat?"
The crowd exploded again.
Wu Fan had already warmed up and was a little surprised when he heard this...
…
"Boss! Come and try this again! This fish is also very delicious!" Yuan Hua handed over a grilled fish from the shelf.
"Eat mine!" Huang Qilin also handed over a grilled fish.
"You two! Please let me go! I really can't eat any more!" Wu Fan looked at the mountain of food in front of him with a sad face.
The competition ended hastily, and the food was just ready. They finally got a chance to take a breather, but Wu Fan's appetite was busy.
"Hahaha...the relationship between you guys is really enviable!" Zaiji laughed loudly next to him, "But this little eminent monk is really discerning. The thin-scaled catfish we have here is unique in the world!"
"Thin scales... catfish?" Yuan Hua looked at the grilled fish in his hand: "Why haven't I heard about catfish with scales?"
"That's why it's unique!" Zaiji continued.
, "Actually, let alone the little eminent monk, he was very strange even when we first met him!"
There was nothing to do, so Zaiji told them this interesting story in detail.
The reason why these Shenhuo people stay here is not because they like the remote environment, but because the terrain and environment here are special and it is where the branches of the Shenhuo flow!
That day, they went deep underground to absorb the divine fire. On their way back, they suddenly heard the sound of water.
I'm worried that the female gangster is responsible. I want to go back and call for help, but I'm afraid something will happen if it's too late! Therefore, Zaiji did not hesitate and asked everyone to wait outside, choosing to go in and see what happened.
Slowly sinking into the water, with only his head exposed, Zaiji quietly passed through the dark hole on the water.
With the help of the luminous plants on the surrounding rock walls, Zaiji could clearly see that this place was a funnel space with a thin neck and a thick belly.
What stood in front of him was a cone-shaped stone pillar falling from the sky, which happened to separate the source of water where he was from the source of the sound of water on the opposite side.
Slowly getting out of the water, Zaiji lay on the cross-section of the stone pillar, only to find that the sound of water was coming from swimming fish.
Compared with the high temperature environment when he came, the space here was isolated from the earth's fire by stone pillars, and the air and river water were very cool. He picked up his clothes and came to the water's edge. He directly picked up the nearest culprits into his arms and brought them back. ground.
Zaiji was no stranger to catfish, but the catfish in front of him was different from what he had seen in his life. There was actually a layer of fine scales growing on the body surface! Zaiji originally planned to scrape off these scales, but found that the scales of this catfish were not born on the body surface, but were buried under the smooth skin, which looked very strange.
For this reason, Zaiji gave him the name Thin Scale Catfish.
At first, Zaiji tried steaming the catfish. It turned out that although the meat of this fine-scaled catfish is delicious, its taste is extremely poor, especially because the fine scales in the skin are difficult to remove, and they always have a salty smell that bites between the teeth! But it is really difficult to peel off the leather scales as well.
Later, he had an idea. Since soft fire didn't work, he would use hard fire. So he used his palm as a plate, held the thin-scaled catfish with the internal organs removed in his palm, and cooked it using his own skills.
Feeling anxious, he briefly tried a bite, but he didn't expect that the thin-scaled catfish cooked with the divine fire technique would taste amazing, especially the salty smell on the scales, which had been completely eliminated by the divine fire!
Hearing this, Yuan Hua, whose index finger was twitching, suddenly lost his appetite and looked at Zai Ji with an evil look: "I said Zai Ji, couldn't you have made all these grilled fishes?"
"Of course!" Zaiji grinned upon hearing this, "How is it? Doesn't it taste particularly good!"
Yuan Hua's expression changed when he heard this, and he almost felt sick: "No! I feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach..."
Zaiji was slightly startled when he saw this, and then scratched his head: "Little eminent monk, you have misunderstood. My production method has been improved a long time ago. Although it is true that I did it myself, I did not do it myself!"
"..."
