The next morning, Lu Yuan only saw the time on his phone.
Everyone huddled in a corner of the room, unable to sleep all night.
Xiao Shan was extremely worried that something bad might happen to Lu Yuan, so she quietly stayed by his side all night.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine."
As they were talking, they suddenly heard footsteps outside, and then several thugs carrying rifles walked up excitedly and opened the cell door.
"Lu Yuan, I hope you are ready. Everyone is waiting for you to make your appearance."
Lu Yuan nodded and walked out of the cage. Xiao Shan wanted to say something, but he gently pressed her down on the spot.
"Sister Han, Xiwen, you must take good care of Xiaoshan. Once I get back, we can go back right away."
"Don't worry, go with peace of mind. Just be careful. I know there's definitely a trap involved, so don't fall for it easily. If you really can't win, just admit defeat."
Lu Yuan nodded, said nothing more, and turned to leave with the other person.
It's the same arena as before, only today there are far more people than usual.
Moreover, it seems that this time they are more intentional in promoting the competition, with many employees of the betting shops carrying wooden boxes shouting their wares around.
"Hey, don't miss out! Since you've already bought tickets, you should definitely place your bets. This time, it's outsiders going against our leader. Such an exciting match, aren't you going to place your bets?"
Boss Peng's odds are currently 1 to 1, while the newcomer's odds are 1 to 5. Contact me quickly if you want to place a bet.
The vendors' cries rang out continuously. Many gamblers clutched their cards with burning eyes, eagerly anticipating the match.
In order to warm up the venue in advance, they have prepared several matches in advance.
At this moment, in the arena, a muscular man with a neatly combed slicked-back hairstyle and a gold belt around his waist paced back and forth in the center of the arena, his eyes radiating a provocative look.
The atmosphere at the scene was pushed to its peak once again. Everyone was screaming desperately, as if the disaster outside had nothing to do with them. Although there were fires everywhere inside, the temperature was still not very high.
However, the crowd's enthusiasm made them completely forget about the cold they were feeling.
Then the host on stage took the microphone and shouted something.
"The next opponent to face Boss Peng is Gui Tou, who has already achieved twelve consecutive victories. It is still unknown who will win this match. Those who wish to make a prediction can go to the audience seats below the arena to purchase their bets."
Then, in another cage, a black cloth was suddenly lifted up.
A burly man revealed his true form; his hair was almost waist-length. However, his mouth was tightly covered with something resembling a livestock bridle.
Upon seeing him, the crowd below the stage immediately screamed in surprise.
"It's Ghost Head, he's finally out. This guy has won twelve games in a row, he's terrifyingly good."
"That's right, this guy is good with his mouth. His teeth are extremely sharp. Once you take off his bridle, he's like a hungry wolf, easily tearing someone's flesh apart. I can't wait any longer."
"It's hard to say who will win this match. Boss Peng is a master. When he appears, very few people can defeat him. Who knows if there's some unspeakable secret behind this? Let's be cautious."
"..."
The crowd began to analyze the situation, some even placing bets, while many others remained on the sidelines, as the outcome of the match was uncertain. One side was Gui Tou, who had achieved a twelve-game winning streak, while the other was the leader of the entire mining area.
If there really is some kind of shady dealing involved, then Boss Peng might have secured victory, and perhaps this ghost head was just a warm-up tool for him.
Lu Yuan stood silently in front of another cage, waiting. He peered out through the gap in the black cloth.
A scantily clad woman was seen holding a sign and walking around the center of the arena twice.
The host's passionate voice stirred the crowd's nerves, and everyone shouted at the top of their lungs.
The iron cage rattled and clattered as everyone shook it, reigniting their emotions.
As the host gently struck the bronze bell with his wooden mallet, the muzzle on Ghost Head's mouth was immediately removed, and he lunged at Boss Peng like a mad dog.
A strange red glint appeared in Boss Peng's eyes.
Just as the ghost head was about to bite his shoulder, Boss Peng took a step back and then thrust his knee high into the air.
With a "crack," a sound of bones breaking rang out, and Gui Tou fell backward.
Blood gushed from his mouth and nose. Like a moth drawn to a flame, he flew straight into the fire and died instantly.
The crowd erupted in astonishment. They had never imagined that Boss Peng would be so strong, winning with just one move.
Ghost Head, who had already achieved a twelve-game winning streak, was actually killed on the spot by a single knee strike.
The referee came up and checked on Gui Tou's condition, and found that he had died because his sternum had pierced his heart due to a fracture.
A chorus of regret immediately arose from the crowd.
