Chapter 363: The Loser of Tug of War Feeds the Snake
Page looked at the team profiles and pointed to one team. "They have boxers and fitness trainers. Great! Let's pick them. Let them teach Asian people how to behave. Money isn't easy to come by in Sacramento."
...
"Respected Miss Page has selected the teams for your mercenary group. The match will begin in twenty minutes. Please enter the arena and do some preparatory activities."
This team soon appeared in front of Jingshu and her group. Each of them was tall and strong. They were six muscular black men, wearing extremely heavy leather armor or bulletproof vests. They exuded an imposing aura wherever they went.
At this time, the Chinese man in the corner walked over and said, "As a fellow race, even though you don't buy the information, I must remind you that this is also a B-level mercenary team. There are two professional boxers, two fitness trainers, and two retired soldiers in it, so you have to be careful in this round."
"Thank you."
Jingshu was brought to the center of the arena. A new voice announcement was playing on the loudspeaker, explaining the matter in English. At this moment, the arena was also in jubilation. As the team was participating in the first team mercenary competition today, everyone was still looking forward to it.
The arena had thousands of seats, and as the only source of entertainment, they were all already full. Some people who didn't have a seat were just watching at the door. At this moment, a fight between two pets was taking place in the second area of the arena. It was a hyena and a leopard. The leopard was more powerful, but the hyena was more patient. The hyena was the king of dogs, and only lions could be their rivals in the African savannah.
The hyena's attacking skills were notoriously brutal. Once it found an opportunity, it would launch a ferocious attack from behind. In the end, the hyena won the match, killed the leopard, and devoured it clean. Voices of regret and anger filled the arena, probably because of how many black market coins it had lost in gambling.
Jingshu kicked the fat chicken, which squinted its eyes as it slept. She looked at the monkey, Ah Huang, who was grinning and aware of the danger, but why didn't the chicken react at all? If the fat chicken were to fight the hyena, she wondered what would happen. Jingshu was more excited about how much money she could win if she bet on herself to win.
However, this kind of thing works wonders the first time, but it is not easy to turn the tables and make a lot of money the second time, so you still have to save some money and then use fat chicken to play in the game.
The tug-of-war competition finally began. The stage in the first area was quickly set up. In the middle was a large pit that was two meters long, wide and three or four meters deep. Two giant pythons were locked in the pit. The audience seats in the arena were at a high position and could clearly see the giant pythons in the pit. These were not ordinary non-venomous pythons, but the very famous Black Mamba, named after its speed.
It is black all over and is a very long snake. Although it does not look as cool as other pythons with patterns, its venom can kill a person in half an hour.
The meat was not very tasty, and it was not as effective as her snake meat as a medicinal wine. Jingshu was thinking about whether she should steal some seeds.
The commentator was explaining something and distributing tug-of-war equipment to both sides. Xiao Hei explained, "Hey, the damn commentator said that these ugly black snakes will only eat one person each and then be full, so we shouldn't worry about the whole army being wiped out. And there's this rope tied to everyone's hand to prevent escape."
In this tug-of-war competition, the simplest and most violent method is to pull the members of the other team into the pit to feed the poisonous snakes. It's that simple.
Tank frowned and said, "So, the person in the first position is the most dangerous, right?"
"Hey, here's what I mean. I've got a deal. Don't be fooled by my size, but I'm not very strong. I'm going to put some weight on you guys in the last position."
"Okay, then I'll take the lead, Snake Demon will be second, Monkey will be third, Mirror will be fourth, Lingling and Xiao Hei will be sixth." After Tank arranged his positions, he was the first to lock himself in the rope with a handcuff-like device. No one else had any objections. Xiao Hei didn't know, but with the others, Tank and Jingshu, two national-level powerhouses, there was no telling how many people they could match.
To put it another way, those who can reach their level have all been trained. It takes a lot of strength for Lingling to carry two guns every day. Their strength is definitely much greater than that of ordinary people.
"Hey damn, those shameless people
Look at them all wearing heavy armor and body armor, which greatly increases our difficulty." Xiao Hei complained.
But no one paid any attention to him.
Both sides took their positions, with twelve people tied to a rope. The two teams pulled the rope in opposite directions. Whoever lost would fall into the pit and be eaten by a python.
Such an exciting and fun fight is finally about to begin.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we invite the respected Miss Page to shout out the starting slogan. Let us wait and see which team will win. But before that, may I ask, have you placed your bet? Who do you bet on will win?" The host stood on the stage, looking at the girl who was sitting high upstairs on a luxurious sofa, drinking red wine.
The Colosseum is more like an inverted bowl, with the fighting place in the middle. The first level is surrounded by circles where the poor sit, while the second level is only the size of a small bowl. However, its architectural style is luxurious and extravagant. At the mouth of the bowl, there is a row of nobles, smiling comfortably, as if discussing which team has a greater chance of winning.
Miss Page picked up the microphone, and Xiao Hei translated, "I have to be honest. I prefer the team with the professional boxer and the fitness trainer. However, I'm the banker this round, and more nobles are betting on the boxer's mercenary team. After this round, I might have to pay out a lot of black market coins. But as long as everyone is happy, I'm happy. Money is just a number to me."
"Thank you, Miss Page. Please give the command then."
"Well then, 1, 2, 3... go!"
"Gogogo!" Xiao Hei started to exert force. His life was at stake, so Xiao Hei could not just stand by and watch.
On the other side, Tank was asking the snake demon what he meant.
The rope is relatively long in order to extend the battle line. In order to pull a team into a deep pit, it must be pulled over a distance of more than ten meters. This is not only a test of strength, but also a test of endurance.
At the beginning of the game, only Tank was able to stabilize the situation. The six people on the opposite side shouted slogans loudly, like "Pull out the radish, pull out the radish, pull out the radish, pull out the radish" and tried together, but Tank was like a tree and did not move at all.
Xiao Hei felt something was wrong while holding the empty rope. He didn't use any strength. Did the person on the other side not eat?
The snake demon couldn't help but ask wistfully, "What is our purpose?"
"Win the game?" Tank said.
