Ye Jiuyou sat down opposite him and looked at the chess game with his eyes.
She is a white child and has already fallen behind.
Dugu Sheng said gently: "It's your turn."
Ye Jiuyou nodded slightly, picked up a white piece with his fingertips, hesitated for a moment and dropped it on an empty seat, surrounded by black pieces, and the white piece was already in his pocket.
Dugu Sheng smiled and shook his head: "Where did you go? It was a dead end."
Ye Jiuyou's cold face showed no expression: "It doesn't matter, I'm not good at chess."
Dugu Sheng was not polite. He held the sunspot in his rough hands and landed not far from Ye Jiuyou.
Ye Jiuyou dropped another white piece.
The situation in the chess game was changing, and after several back and forths, Bai Zi's situation actually felt like the moon was clearing from the clouds.
Dugu Sheng stroked his beard and nodded, and praised sincerely: "Yes, you took a few steps to turn Bai Zi's situation around."
The corners of Ye Jiuyou's lips raised slightly, and another white piece dropped: "Chief Dean, you are going to lose."
Dugu Sheng suddenly raised his eyebrows and clucked his tongue twice: "Tsk, tsk, it's really strange! You just said that you were not good at chess, but you turned around and blocked all my black stones!"
"You little girl, are you making fun of my old man?" He puffed his beard and glared, stretched out his hand to stir things up, and messed up the whole chess game like a fool.
"No more playing!"
Seeing him like this, Ye Jiuyou felt like he was seeing an old naughty boy, "Student, I know I made a mistake. I will let you go next time."
Dugu Sheng glanced at her: "There will be no next time."
Ye Jiuyou looked at him with a slight smile, "You asked me here not just to play chess, right?"
Dugu Sheng's expression also became solemn, and he gently stroked his beard with his withered hands: "No, I want you to participate in the beast competition."
"I will go." Ye Jiuyou didn't expect it to be because of this.
"I hope you win first place, and you must win first place." Dugu Sheng looked over with firm eyes and a hint of command in his tone.
Ye Jiuyou was a little confused: "Why?"
"The reward for the first place in this beast competition is a blood-red sacred stone. The origin of this stone is unknown. I don't know who gave it to the Beastmaster Guild, but I guess it is the blood essence stone that controls the evil demon. I I hope you can win this stone back."
Dugu Sheng looked at Ye Jiuyou with a slight frown: "If it is really a blood essence stone, it must be destroyed immediately to prevent it from harming more people."
Ye Jiuyou didn't expect Dugu Sheng to go with her. She also went to the beast competition with the intention of winning first place.
She nodded vigorously: "Don't worry, Chief Dean, I will definitely get first place!"
"Although you have a heavy burden on you, I still want to remind you that only contracted beasts are allowed to participate in this beast competition. The master cannot take action. If you really can't win, just give up. I will think of other ways." Dugu Sheng He looked at Ye Jiuyou with concern, but his cloudy eyes were still full of expectation.
Ye Jiuyou nodded: "I will do my best."
"Okay, go back and let your contracted beast have a good rest tonight." Dugu Sheng said with a smile at her.
Ye Jiuyou stood up and left. Standing at the door of the small courtyard, she looked back and saw that Dugu Sheng was slowly arranging the chess table.
Her phoenix eyes dimmed slightly, she turned around and left here quickly.
............
The beast competition is organized by the Beast Masters Guild of the Fire Kingdom.
It is a competition that only allows contracted beasts to fight. It is also the favorite competition for monks who own contracted beasts. After all, they can show off their contracted beasts in all aspects.
The conditions for participating are: the master's cultivation level cannot exceed that of a nine-star green spirit master, and the contracted beast's cultivation level cannot exceed the fifth level of nine-star level.
This is also a propaganda method of the Beast Master Guild, attracting more monks to come to the Beast Master Guild and ask the Beast Master for help in contracting their favorite contracted beasts.
When Ye Jiuyou didn't see the arena with her own eyes, she thought that all the monks were like her and treated the contracted beasts as family and friends.
But when she saw that the contracted beast was obviously dying but was still asked to continue fighting, her eyes became colder and colder.
This is not a friendly beast competition, this is simply a cruel colosseum!
The first-level flaming lion was already covered in flesh and blood and could no longer stand firm, but its owner was still asking it to continue fighting, with no intention of retreating.
The first-order Iron Claw Gray Wolf on the other side has a slightly higher star rating, so it has the upper hand, but its body is also scarred and it is still fighting hard.
The huge circular Colosseum was already dripping with blood, and the bloody paw prints of the two monster beasts were everywhere.
The owner of the Fiery Lion roared loudly: "Fuck, you beast, hurry up and fight! I raised you in vain, didn't I?"
The owner of the Iron Claw Gray Wolf also raised his voice and ordered: "Go! Tear it into pieces, and I will give you extra food tonight!"
The iron-clawed gray wolf pounced forward, biting the back of the flaming lion's neck with its bloody mouth, and clawed at the flaming lion's head.
One of the flaming lion's eyes was blind, and the blood from the other eye was caught by the fallen wolf's claws.
It was blind, and the pain caused it to start attacking randomly, but all of them failed, and not a single move hit the Iron Claw Gray Wolf.
Seeing that it was going crazy, the Iron Claw Gray Wolf took a step back and waited for the opportunity. After seizing the opportunity, he bit the back of the Flame Lion's neck and held on tightly without letting go.
"Roar——" The flaming lion let out a mournful sound, and its huge body fell to the side.
The iron-clawed gray wolf stepped on it with both feet, still biting the flaming lion's neck and not letting go. The bright red blood was already flowing out from the flaming lion's neck.
This scene stung Ye Jiuyou's eyes.
She stood up suddenly and said loudly: "Why don't you admit defeat! Your contracted beast is going to die! Hurry up and admit defeat!"
Her voice sounded particularly clear and cold in the silent audience.
The owner of the flaming lion spat on the ground, looked up at the auditorium above, pointed at Ye Jiuyou and shouted: "Who the hell are you? You are so nosy! How do you want to use my contracted beast? Just use it!”
He turned to look at the dying flaming lion: "Beast! Trash! I really spent my life raising you in vain!"
The flaming lion's eyes cannot see, but its ears can still hear.
It clearly heard its master scolding it.
Its owner doesn't want it anymore.
"Ouch..." It let out a long whimper, then tilted its head and died.
Because it was a first-level monster, its death did not cause any harm to its owner, but only caused the man to spit out a mouthful of blood.
The man wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, swallowed a pill, and still cursed in a low voice: "What a bad luck!"
