As the new Demon Queen, ...
Chapter 93 Lucky MAX Can he survive?
"This is a completely one-sided massacre, right?"
Looking at the huge disparity in strength between the two sides on the field, Teddy Bear was stunned and couldn't imagine what would happen next.
Mr. Xiong whistled with interest and introduced to Cecia: "This is just the appetizer. The fight between people later is the highlight."
She was about to say something, but was distracted by the sound coming from the speakers.
"Welcome all investors to watch this gladiatorial performance. There are only four days left until the anniversary of the arena. During this period, we will prepare the best services and the most exciting performances for investors..."
The picture on the big screen focused on the host. His face was covered by a black mask and he was wearing a tight leather jacket that outlined his muscles.
"Well, please welcome the contestants for tonight's preparatory match—"
There was deafening applause from the audience, accompanied by cheers, and the picture on the screen shifted from the host to the two contestants.
Click.
The iron cage that imprisoned the black bear gradually rose. Under the torture of the steel nails in its body, the black bear became extremely irritable and kept making low wild roars from deep in its throat.
The boy opposite was about fifteen or sixteen years old. He was thin, his white clothes were wrinkled, and his collar was slightly yellowed, looking very old.
Faced with the threat from the black bear, he was so nervous that he was shaking all over and couldn't even hold the sword steadily. But he didn't run away. His feet were firmly rooted to the ground and his eyes were like nails, staring at the black bear's every move.
At the moment the iron cage was completely lifted into the air, the black bear's huge body like Mount Tai rushed towards him, and its thick bear paws made a whistling sound, as if they were going to tear him apart in an instant.
"Xia, do you think he can survive?"
The teddy bear turned his head reluctantly and asked softly, as if looking for the last glimmer of hope.
"……cannot."
Cecia told the truth without mercy.
She had been in the Colosseum for several years, and with just a glance, she had a very clear assessment of the strength of both sides.
Besides, the gap in strength between them was too great. Any normal person with a brain could tell who would win or lose... On the field, the young man dodged in a panic, narrowly avoiding the black bear's attacks each time. His physical strength was greatly consumed, causing beads of sweat to ooze out of his head and many scratches on his body.
The audience did not feel sympathy for the black bear, but instead booed him. People had no interest in his escape and instead excitedly cheered for the black bear.
The iron sword in the boy's hand was not very sharp.
Even if he tried his best to chop at the black bear's body, the tip of the sword could only leave a shallow scratch on its rough skin, and not even a trace of blood could seep out.
On the other hand, the force of each slap from the black bear was enough to make him lose the ability to resist. If he was hit once, the situation would be completely irreversible.
With the help of the terrain, the boy hid here and there for a long time, but the audience below became more and more impatient. The curses and ridicules were intertwined and surged like a tide. Some people even started throwing debris onto the stage, and the situation was out of control for a while.
Seeing this, the host quickly put the walkie-talkie close to his mouth and said a few words quickly.
Immediately afterwards, a shrill whistle sounded throughout the venue, like a sharp blade cutting through the noisy air.
The black bear seemed to be angered by the whistle as well. It let out a painful howl and rushed towards the boy like a ignited volcano, roaring as if it wanted to crush all obstacles in its way into dust.
After dodging for a long time, the boy's movements became slow. He had no time to dodge and was hit by the bear's paw. He spat out a mouthful of blood and no longer had the strength to get up.
The black bear did not stop there. It swung the half-dead boy back and forth in its hands as if it was playing with its prey, threw him down from great heights several times, and even tore off bloody limbs with its paws.
This stimulating scene is exactly what the audience wants.
They screamed and cheered, and under the cover of masks, they vented their ugly desires.
When the boy had only one breath left, this unfair battle finally came to an end.
Fully armed guards rushed into the venue and pointed several tranquilizer guns at the black bear. Before it could attack, they knocked it down, tied it up with iron chains, and dragged it back into a sturdy iron cage.
"Go ahead."
A familiar voice sounded from above, and a dark figure suddenly rushed onto the arena, running towards the dying boy.
"Look carefully, this is the worst part about that woman."
Mr. Xiong lowered his voice and motioned for Cecia to pay attention to the shadow.
When the other person stood next to the boy, the big screen enlarged the picture considerately——
The so-called black shadows were exactly the dots she had seen in the image.
When he arrived at the arena, Diandian completely let out his nature. He used his hands and feet, crawling on the ground in a strange posture, with a fierce light flashing in his eyes like a wild beast.
He moved closer and sniffed the boy, thick saliva flowing out of his open mouth and dripping onto the boy's body, but he did not act immediately. Instead, he looked up at the platform.
"Eat it."
There came another voice from above.
Diandian instantly became excited, and regardless of the boy's weak breathing, he bit his throat. He bit him madly, eating up all the flesh and blood on his body.
At the same time, there was a look of satisfaction on his face, as if he was tasting some delicious food.
"vomit……"
Seeing this, the teddy bear's stomach churned and he couldn't help but retching. "He, he actually eats human flesh? And he eats it raw..."
Mr. Xiong had long been accustomed to this. With an obscure look in his eyes, he whispered, "This is a monster specially cultivated by Mr. Qian. It has been fed only human flesh since weaning, and it must be fresh, living human flesh."
"If Diandian's parents knew about this, I'm afraid Qian wouldn't be able to live for many days."
"Isn't she afraid?"
Cecia asked coldly. Although the demon clan’s fighting arena was cruel, such an outrageous scene had never appeared before.
"Afraid? That guy has long been blinded by fame and fortune. How can he know what fear is?"
Mr. Xiong sneered, revealing his dissatisfaction in his words, "Those rich people just like this. The more abnormal things are, the more they can get excited... You see."
Looking in the direction he pointed, there was cheering from the audience.
The more wild and bloodthirsty Diandian acted, the more excited the audience became, and the amount of money betted nearby also rose and soared.
"A bunch of lunatics."
Mr. Xiong curled his lips and pretended to be disdainful, but he could not hide his yearning for money.
"I have a way to bring her down. Do you want to do it?"
Cecia suddenly turned around and pointed the bird-beak mask at Mr. Bear, "I'll give you some when the time comes."
Hearing this, Mr. Xiong was stunned at first, then he realized what she meant by "points" and his expression immediately became excited.
"Hero! I knew I could do no wrong by following you!"
He wanted to hold Cecilia's hand gratefully, but she dodged him calmly, so he could only hold the iron railing in front of him.
"What do you need me to do? I will do it for you!"
"Take me to place the bet first."
Cecia said coldly that her infiltration last night was not in vain. She "borrowed" some common currency from Mr. Xiong's house, and the owner of the currency was still unaware of it.
"Please! Follow me..."
After the preparatory round, the contestants for the first round of fighting soon appeared on the field. Both sides looked strong and it was difficult to judge who would win.
Cecia no longer paid attention to the situation on the field. She followed Mr. Xiong to the front desk, where the large screen kept flashing, updating the betting amounts of both parties in real time.
However, the opponents who seemed to her to be evenly matched showed a one-sided situation in terms of betting - the amount bet by the player on the right was almost three times that of the player on the left.
"Hey, you probably don't understand that this place doesn't just rely on physical strength."
As if he could see her confusion, Mr. Xiong came up to explain, "There are no rules in the arena. In other words, whoever has more money sets the rules."
"And the guy on the right, standing behind him is Boss Wang. He is notoriously sinister... His players have a very high winning rate, and the shady tactics they use are always unexpected."
"If you want to play, I suggest you follow the bet. Even though the profit is small, it is still a good profit."
"What you and I want to earn is not just this little money."
Cecia walked to the window without caring and placed her bet on the player on the left. Then she handed some money to Jia Dadan and said, "You come too."
"I, I have never gambled before. It's illegal..."
Jia Dabing had a sad face. He had been hiding behind others all the way, carefully protecting his muscles and trying to reduce his presence. Unexpectedly, he was still pulled out by Cecilia.
Seeing this, Mr. Xiong was happy.
"Your friend is really interesting. Even in such a place, he still cares about whether it is illegal or not."
"Don't talk nonsense, just choose whatever you want."
Cecia pushed him impatiently, almost forcing him to the window.
"Then I'll choose the right side... there are more people..."
Jia Dabao spoke haltingly and placed the bet reluctantly.
The result was the same as most people's choice, the player on the right won by extremely insidious means. Because the odds were too low, Jia Dadan earned less than Cecia lost.
"Boss Wang has a new trick up his sleeve. Who would have thought he would hide the stuff there?"
Mr. Xiong joked and introduced the next contestant to Cecia before the next game started.
"…That's about it. It's hard to say for sure."
“I choose the right side.”
Cecilia made a decisive choice, and under her pressure, Jia boldly and cautiously chose the left.
In the second game, the left side wins.
Game 3…
The two placed bets several times in a row, and Jia Dabing was able to successfully select the winner every time.
