Chapter 16 The terrible thing about losing is the shame
"Mr. Shangguan, do you know how Nie Erfeng won?" Mu Shuangyan asked Shangguan Jieshu who was standing next to her in the crowd.
Shangguan Jieshu and Tang Beiju lost the competition and naturally left the contestant area and could only watch from the outside. Mu Shuangyan happened to be outside the venue, so the two stood together and cheered for their new partners.
Shangguan Jieshu didn't understand how Nie Erfeng won at first, but when he saw the silver needles tied with copper wire, he instantly understood.
"Do you remember what they did before they spilled the wine?"
Shangguan Jieshu asked.
"A rain of silver needles for Nie Erfeng?"
Mu Shuangyan recalled the scene she had just witnessed and said.
Silver needle rain? Shangguan Jieshu was at a loss for words. This girl was quite good at describing things.
"Nie Erfeng's greatest skill is probably using her weapon—copper wire.
However, during the first Silver Needle Rain, she chose to use the whole body twisting kung fu, so that everyone's attention was focused on her kung fu and ignored the fact that she actually had weapons on her body.
When it came to the second round of silver needle rain, she began to spread out the copper threads on her body, tied up some of the silver needles in one direction, and took them all away.
Because there were not that many of them, and the other silver needles were so numerous that it was visually confusing, no one noticed that she had created an empty path for herself.
Before the others could throw liquor at her, she extended an extra copper wire and fixed it to the floor tiles at the edge of the arena. Using the copper wire, she followed the laughing passage she had created and quickly pulled herself out of the fire.
After Shangguan Jieshu finished his explanation, he suddenly felt that the atmosphere around him was not right. He looked around and found a group of people looking at him with burning eyes and admiration on their faces.
Shangguan Jieshu: "...Why are you looking at me like that?"
In the crowd, an old lady with gray hair and traces of time on her face, dressed simply, bent over with a kind look, slowly expressed the thoughts of everyone present:
"I just think you're amazing! We're watching it, but we have no idea what's going on. We just think it's brilliant, but we don't know why.
Although what you just said was not meant for us, we still heard it.
Your words are very concise and clear, without any flowery words like "zhi ah hu ah yue ah".
It made us understand and see clearly, and made us feel very comfortable.”
After hearing these words, Shangguan Jieshu was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening and suddenly felt a little complicated.
He was not blind, and his eyesight was even better due to his martial arts training, so he saw clearly that several civilians in the crowd had torn off relatively light-colored cloth from their clothes, and then used the fruit juice they had left over, which had some pigment, to paint on the cloth.
Because they are illiterate, they can only use pictures to memorize.
Mu Shuangyan was a very smart person. She looked around and then looked at Shangguan Jieshu's expression, and she knew Shangguan Jieshu's current state.
"Mr. Shangguan, I really know nothing about martial arts. I've had some problems with my ears since I was a child. Can you describe the next game to me loudly?" Mu Shuangyan said gently.
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Jieshu said "hmm" softly, indicating that he agreed.

"Sixth round, Murong Yifeng, Pink-Green Chicken, Han Yunqi, Xu Shengtai, Purple-Crowned Chicken, Qiao Qiaozi, Xu Ran, Sa Fei Niu, Xin Jin, Wei Baojuan, please come on stage."
The names on the list successfully made Xu Ren'er's eyes go dark. When they talked about the pink-green chicken with each other, they privately named it the pink-green chicken just to make it easier for the other party to understand. They never expected that its real name was the pink-green chicken.
There are also Sa Fei Niu and Purple-Crowned Chicken, what weird names they have.
Xu Ren'er thought about her current body shape. If everyone was named after her body shape, would she be called Ren Bai Gou?
Thinking of this, Xu Ren'er shuddered. Even if she was beaten to death, she would not allow herself to be given such a strange name.
On the arena, because one person was eliminated in the number plate screening, there were only nine creatures in total, two chickens, a cow, and six humans. There were three men and two women in total, with bright eyes and full of energy.
In fact, no one present knew each other, but they had tacitly divided into two camps, one for humans and one for animals.
The pink-green chicken looked at the purple-crowned chicken and the fat cow with loving eyes. Before the official competition, it and the python noticed them. Just like it did to Xu Ren'er, the pink-green chicken told them about its origins and gave them pills that allowed them to speak.
They are most likely cubs lost outside their Polo country, so they must be well protected and treated.
"Hey, why are all the other opponents human, but ours are just a few beasts? Isn't this just serving us food?"
In the human camp, a boy who looked about seventeen years old looked at the two chickens and a cow and couldn't help but complain.
Hearing this, the pink-green chicken snorted coldly. It had been looking at the other two animals gently, but now its eyes immediately became extremely sharp, and it wished it could kill all the people in the opposite camp directly.
Unlike Mr. Python, Mr. Python can correctly view the relationship between humans and animals.
But it couldn't do that. Ever since it left the Baltic country and began its journey to find its cubs, it found that its cubs had died at the hands of humans during every search. It began to hate humans constantly.
It can deeply love every living thing in this world, except humans!!!
Taking a deep breath, the pink-green chicken tried to stay calm. There could be no killing on the arena, and it could not forget the purpose of coming here.
It wants to succeed, to make the Baltic Kingdom famous, to let the lost cubs know of its existence, and to let the cubs know that there is a home in this world waiting for them.
"The game begins!"
The moment the sound was heard, the pink-green chicken suddenly grew larger. In public, its size increased at a double speed, directly occupying a quarter of the arena.
If it hadn't been concerned about the two cubs next to it, it would have continued to grow larger.
The human camp on the opposite side was stunned.
"Am I here to participate in the duel or to fight monsters?"
The boy who had just complained suddenly began to doubt himself.
In the audience, when the word "monster" appeared, Xu Ren'er's heart skipped a beat and he stared at the young man.
"What's wrong?" Mo Youli, who was standing next to him, noticed that Xu Ren'er was a little strange and asked quickly.
"Nothing." Xu Ren'er shook his head and turned his attention back to the fight itself.
The word "monster" is not unique to modern times. The world is so complex and diverse, with a wide range of vocabulary. She actually expected to meet the same kind for a moment just now. It almost made people laugh!
On the stage, the pink-green chicken waved its wings, and three strands of pink and three strands of green chicken feathers rushed towards the human camp.
The speed was not fast, and it even seemed a bit light, leaving the human camp full of questions.
At this speed, they can dodge it even if they move at a snail's pace.
"What the hell? I thought it was so awesome?"
It was still the same young boy, his expression changed from alert to relaxed. He even circled towards the pale pink chicken feathers closest to him, reached out his hand to touch it, and even put his nose forward to smell it.
"It smells a bit, like smelling durian." The boy commented.
The other people in the same camp as him witnessed the whole process and moved a little further away from him without leaving any trace.
This person seems a little mentally unstable, so it's better to stay away from him.
The pink-green chicken observed the other party expressionlessly. Suddenly, he stretched his neck and howled towards the sky.
“Ohhhh—”
In an instant, the chicken feathers turned from soft to hard, and the edges of their bodies became extremely sharp. They seemed to have self-awareness, and with the screams of pink and green chickens, they began to attack the human camp.
The human camp reacted extremely quickly. In fact, they had been wary of these chicken feathers from the beginning. Among them, the young man who seemed to be mentally ill just now reacted the fastest and immediately drew his sword to deal with the changes in the situation.
At first, they were able to do it smoothly, but after a quarter of an hour, they soon realized that something was wrong.
They had been fighting the chicken feathers right there, while the pink and green chicken camp opposite them hadn't even moved.
"We can't keep going like this. We have to find a way to break out. Is there anyone willing to lend me a hand? Block this annoying chicken feather while I conquer the chicken on the other side for you!"
The boy just now shouted to the people around him.
Sadly, no one paid any attention. They were just a spur-of-the-moment team, all strangers. After dealing with the other side, it would be a competition among themselves. Why would they help him?!
One piece of chicken feather is not difficult to deal with, and two pieces are not difficult to deal with either, but they also have to save some energy for themselves. If they are distracted accidentally and are attacked by the people next to them, then it will be the end of them, right?
Seeing no one respond, the young man thought about it and seemed to have thought of this. He immediately changed his words: "I can help one of you to hold off a group, and someone can go to deal with the pink and green chicken!"
Still no one answered!
The strength of the pink-green chicken is mysterious and unpredictable. Who knows what will happen if they fight alone? Even if they can win, they will consume a lot of physical strength. Then there will be competition among humans, and they will be at a complete disadvantage.
Obviously, compared with the group of people who cooperated to deal with Nie Erfeng in the last game, the people in this game are really not united enough.
The pink-green chicken saw the situation on the opposite side clearly. It sneered with disdain in its eyes.
It's just a few small feathers, but it has turned their cooperation into a mess. Human beings are really selfish and fragile!
Seeing this, the young man opposite wanted to curse loudly.
They can't see the situation clearly, but he can.
That chicken didn't even use its ultimate move and was definitely the only one left in the game. Those in the human camp were 100% cannon fodder.
But if we unite and help each other, there is still a glimmer of hope for victory!
And they're still wary of each other and playing tricks on each other?!
You know, losing is not scary, what is scary is losing shamefully!
Looking at the contemptuous look of the chicken opposite him, he felt a little ashamed.
The boy gritted his teeth and decided to fight just for the look in the chicken's eyes!
Anyway, if others decide that they can't pass this level, he won't lose anything.
The young man completely ignored Jimao's pursuit and ran straight towards the pink-green chicken. He drew his sword and leaped into the air, as if he was going to fight head-on.
The pink-green chicken looked calm. When the tip of the sword was about to touch the pink-green chicken, the boy quickly disappeared and appeared in the left perspective of the pink-green chicken.
This is just a feint!
However, this fake move happened more than once: it appeared on the left, disappeared on the left, appeared on the right, disappeared on the right, appeared in the sky, disappeared in the sky, appeared below, disappeared below...
Dozens of fake moves in a row were dizzying and irritating.
The pink chicken feathers chasing him were no less impressive, following him wherever he appeared...
The pink-green chicken waited quietly, not even breaking a sweat, completely unaffected, until...
In the rear—
The pink-green chicken thought.
Just as the pink-green chicken thought, the pink chicken feathers were still within its field of vision, but the boy was already behind the pink-green chicken's head.
He swung his sword, his eyes sharp, aimed at the pink-green chicken's neck, and chopped it hard.
