Chapter 334 Sword and Shield
"Oh my God, what happened!"
"How did Steel Mane Bear die!"
"It seems to be suicide?"
"How is this possible!"
"Damn it! Why don't you die? Why!"
"I actually won?! I should have bet more!"
The audience screamed, and the losers threw their tickets away in anger, and the white papers flew around like snow.
The human who survived the disaster finally came to his senses and shouted loudly: "I survived!"
"Yes, you survived."
At this time, a voice full of strong surprise rang out. The host of the arena, wearing a half-beast mask on his face, stood on a floating platform and exclaimed: "Unbelievable! He actually survived! Let's cheer for him and applaud him! You know, his opponent is the steel-maned bear who once tore 283 villains alive!"
The human's eyes turned slightly cold, then quickly returned to normal without attracting anyone's attention.
"Where's my prize?" the human asked loudly, pretending to be impatient. "I won!"
"Of course!" The host said in a strange tone, "We at the Beast God Arena will never default on rewards for any challenger! Although it looks like the Iron Mane Bear was not killed by you, it is a fact that you are the only one who survived!
Therefore, you will receive ten gold coins!"
"Give it to me now!"
"Of course I will give it to you, but are you satisfied?" The host said frivolously, "You even beat the Iron Mane Bear! Don't you plan to continue the challenge?"
The human was terrified: "No, I'm just lucky. I can't deal with that kind of guy. Give me the bonus quickly. I want to leave!"
"Are you sure? What a shame."
The host said with regret: "You clearly have the chance to win 100 gold coins, but you don't want them. Well, okay~~~"
He deliberately drew out the sound.
"What? One hundred?!" The human was shocked: "What do you mean!"
The host chuckled: "According to the rules of our Beast God Arena, if you win the next game, the prize money you can get will be increased tenfold! Not only that, you can also gain certain merits, allowing you to become a noble!"
"Money, power, beauty!" The host opened his arms and shouted, "Everything you want, the Beast God Arena can give you! Bastard, now you are just a bastard, but if you continue to fight, you will be a brave warrior!
Even, become a noble!"
As he spoke, a large number of light and shadow images suddenly appeared around the host.
A mountain of gold coins, blank duke's crests waiting to be engraved, alluring beauties with ragged clothes and different hair colors...
The human's breathing quickened: "Can we really get all of this?!"
"Of course, the premise is that you can keep winning. Even if you want to become a duke, that's fine!" The host leaned over and looked at the human: "So, what is your choice?"
The human's expression was extremely complicated, but in the end, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! I'll fight again!"
"Oh!" the host exclaimed exaggeratedly: "Let us applaud the courage of this villain! What he is about to face is——"
A huge turntable emerged, with hundreds of monsters carved on it.
The location of each monster has a different color, representing its degree of danger. The darker the color, the higher the danger.
The turntable spun so fast that the colors on it merged into one.
"Who is it? Who is it? Who is it?" The host manipulated the emotions of everyone in the arena: "Will this bastard's luck continue to improve?"
The atmosphere suddenly became a little tense.
"You bastard, you can stop it yourself~" the host kindly reminded.
"Stop!" The very 'nervous' human shouted subconsciously.
The turntable came to an abrupt stop, and the spot where it stopped was the black area with the highest risk factor.
"Oh~ It seems that the luck of this villain is not as good as before." The host said regretfully: "His opponent is actually the Scarlet Slaughterer of Three Thousands!"
The human's face turned pale.
"The two sides have been chosen. Dear guests, you have three minutes to place your bets."
The host held a magic prop similar to a microphone, pointed at humans with one hand, and said: "And you, a villain - no, now you are already a brave warrior!
So, brave warrior, please tell us your name!
Your courage should be engraved in the Beast God Arena!"
Mankind looked hopeless, but now that things had come to this, there was no room for regret.
He clenched his fist and said, "Diz, my name is Diz!"
"Okay! Brave Diz, it's a pleasure to meet you at the last moment of your life! Then, as a reward for your bravery, you can use weapons in the next battle. Now--" The host turned around: "Dear guests, place your bets!"
The odds for both sides were projected by magic above the arena, and naturally, Diz's odds were very low.
However, he did not get angry about this, but instead carefully selected from the weapons provided in the arena.
With little hesitation, Diz chose a sword and a shield.
This move again attracted ridicule from the audience.
"He doesn't think that taking more means he's powerful, does he?"
"Hahaha! The weapons and armor in the Beast God Arena are of very good quality. Of course, they are not light. Originally, he still had a little hope, but now, his flexibility is useless!"
"With such a heavy shield and sword, can he still run? Hahaha!"
Diz listened to people's ridicule without saying a word.
…
"This is simply cheating!"
Tim, who was sitting on Liang Shixian's shoulder, had an angry look on his face and was licking his lollipop in small sips.
“Indeed.”
It is hard not to agree.
Others can't see clearly, so how can Ji Ruo not see clearly?
When the roulette wheel was spinning just now, it was obvious that only the color was changing. The name and portrait of the monster did not change at all. They were decided at the beginning.
"It seems that this Tiger Power Immortal is not a good person either."
"It's the beast god." Liang Shixian corrected helplessly. He grabbed Tim's dangling feet and said, "Tim, be careful, don't fall down... But why do you want me to carry you?"
"Because Brother Ji Ruo wants to carry Sister Luo Xi on his back." Tim said as a matter of course, "Then I can only make do with it."
"…It turns out that I am just a substitute for Ji Ruo."
"Hehe, I'm just kidding~" Tim laughed and said, "Actually, I like the monitor brother more. Your aura gives me a very comfortable feeling."
"Just call me Liang Shixian."
"No, your name is too hard to pronounce."
“…”
Xila looked at Ji Ruo and said, "Are we just going to do this and watch?"
"That's it for now."
Ji Ruo said, "This guy named Dylan is a member of the Adventurer's Guild. He seems to be quite powerful, but the platform has just started. Even if he has God Crystal Cards, the quantity should not be too much. Let's wait and see for now. If it doesn't work, we can take action later."
"Why not just start right away?" Tim asked curiously.
At this moment, Tim is mostly human, while Mother Earth is absolutely divine.
But no matter which one it is, I don’t quite understand it.
The absolutely divine Earth Mother has no self-consciousness and will not interfere with or intervene in the development of anything on the mainland. This is because She is incapable of thinking. She is only responsible for carrying and recording.
Although Tim is mostly human and is curious about everything in the world like a child, she is just a newborn after all. Even if she can mobilize all the knowledge stored in the earth's veins for countless years, it will not be difficult for her to understand in a short time without anyone teaching her.
So she didn't understand why humans could end the "plot" at the beginning of many things, but would wait until it was almost irreversible before taking action.
"Because he came for revenge." Ji Ruo explained, "The Kingdom of God in the Dream was established not long ago. He was able to obtain a large number of God Crystal Cards during this period of time. This shows how heavy the burden on his heart is.
You should be able to hear what he is mumbling, right? He may have been planning this for a long time. If we suddenly take action, then this matter will have a different meaning to him. "
"I still don't quite understand." Tim said confusedly: "Isn't that very dangerous?"
Liang Shixian added: "If it was the old him, he would definitely not be able to avenge his best friend, otherwise he would not have waited until now. At that time, we could have taken action directly, and he would have been grateful to us.
But now, since he dares to come, it proves that he must have enough power, which he has obtained through long-term unremitting efforts. If we intervene at this time, then his efforts so far will be meaningless, and he may resent us for it. "
"But you are helping him." Tim was still confused.
"Helping others also requires methods."
Tim gave up thinking and focused on the lollipop in his hand, muttering, "Humans are really weird."
Yaxiu carefully memorized what Ji Ruo and Liang Shixian said. This was a chance to listen to the oracle in person, how could he miss it?
After thinking for a while, Ash said to the little girl who suddenly appeared: "Little sister, let me give you an example. Take the candy you are eating now. If there is only this one piece in the whole world, and you have saved money for a long time, you can finally buy it. But just when you are about to get the candy, this piece of candy is bought by someone else in front of you..."
Tim immediately understood the key point after hearing this, and shuddered: "That's really uncomfortable!"
Although she had no idea about the purchasing power of money and didn't understand the hardship of saving money, if she really spent a long time preparing for a piece of delicious candy and someone snatched it away... wouldn't she be able to eat it?
Ash asked, "My Lord, am I right in saying this?"
Ji Ruo was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Interesting metaphor, that's probably what it means."
"Hehe~"
"But isn't it appropriate for you to call her little sister?"
"Suitable! Of course it's suitable!" Tim said dissatisfiedly: "I was just born today, and everyone I meet is older than me! How can it be inappropriate!"
Ji Ruo was helpless: "Okay, as long as you are happy."
Sheila thought for a moment and suddenly said, "Let's split up. There are many gods in the imperial capital. It would be too inefficient to go to them one by one. Since we want to help Charles push forward his plan, we'd better move faster."
"Okay, but who are you going to find?"
Shira gritted her teeth: "Skyhorn God of War."
Ji Ruo: “?”
Good guys!
Still holding a grudge?!
Is it necessary to remember a matter of five dollars for so long?
"Then you better be careful." Ji Ruo didn't say much.
Emily waved her hand: "Go early and come back early! Be safe!"
"You come with me!"
"Huh? Why? I can't fight!"
"You are a resurrectionist, go and help me stay safe!"
"But I don't want to go..."
"That's not up to you, Elbow!"
Emily was forcibly dragged away by Sheila.
Ji Ruo and others continued to watch.
In fact, Ji Ruo didn't choose to wait and see for the reason he just mentioned.
He mainly wanted to see how this Diz would use the Divine Crystal Card to fight, and see if it could bring him some inspiration.
Of course, there is another less important reason, which is that they paid for admission, and if they just start buying things without looking at anything, it always feels like the money was wasted...
Ahem, the last reason can be ignored. Although the ticket price is a little expensive, Ji Ruo has been setting up a stall for a few days and still has some money. He can't just choose to watch from the sidelines just because there is no discount for group purchases and he spent half of his bounty just to bring everyone in, right?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
As the Prince of Stove, the bounty he received from turning himself in could only allow him to take everyone to watch two competitions to the death. Ji Ruo didn't care at all.
…
"Buy it and leave it alone!"
The host shouted: "The battle begins immediately. Everyone, will the Scarlet Slaughter continue his myth of invincibility and add another greedy skeleton to the edge of the arena, or will this warrior named Diz continue to be lucky? Let us wait and see!"
After saying that, the host controlled the magic elevator to fly high up at a very fast speed, as if he was worried that Diz's blood would splash onto him.
Diz held the sword and shield with a calm expression.
"Roar! (Finally, it's my turn! Tear up! Devour!)"
With a wild roar, Diz's opponent finally appeared.
The Scarlet Slaughterer is a two-star monster with a blood-red body. Compared to the previous Steel Mane Bear, it is slightly smaller in size, but not cute.
It looks weird and monstrous, with sharp horns and a hard exoskeleton all over its body.
There were many blade-like protrusions on its exoskeleton. There was not a single redundant part on its body. Even that part was flashing with cold light, as if it was born specifically for killing.
Diz held a sword and shield in his hand, his eyes full of murderous intent, and murmured: "Asuna, this guy has brought shame on you, I will make him pay double..."
Although he said this, Diz did not underestimate his opponent. He had seen the Scarlet Slayer fight before and knew that even though he was able to transform into a divine crystal weapon, he still had to take it seriously.
"Hoo! (Eat it, eat it!)"
The Scarlet Slaughterer roared and rushed towards Diz without hesitation.
During the charge, the screaming bones and blades on the Scarlet Slaughterer began to spin rapidly, making a terrifying "buzzing" sound, just like a biological meat grinder!
Diz's pupils shrank slightly.
This speed——
It has become stronger again?!
'Boom!'
At the critical moment, Diz only had time to block with his shield, and was knocked away by the Scarlet Slayer's huge force.
“Cough cough cough…”
Many of the skeletons at the edge of the battlefield were smashed by the flying Diz, and dust rose up.
The severe pain caused Diz to lose consciousness for a moment.
The arm holding his shield was broken at the first impact, but he did not scream.
This level of pain was no longer enough to make him frown.
He recalled some past events.
"Hey, Liz, are you okay?"
The swordsman named Dylan joked, "As a shield warrior, how come you can't even stand steadily?"
"Nonsense!" Lilz, who was knocked down by Dylan's sword, blushed: "It's obviously you who are too strong, and, and you suddenly attacked me before I was ready..."
"Haha! I'm a swordsman, so of course I have to be stronger. In the future battles, just stay behind me. I will chop down all those monsters!"
"No! I'm a shield warrior, I have to be in the front!" Lilz shouted, "As long as I'm alive, I won't let any monster attack you!"
"real?"
"Of course!"
"But it's hard for people to trust you now that you're like this."
"I couldn't even lift a shield before! Now is now, and in the future... Anyway, I will try my best!"
"Well, then come on, let's practice again!"
"good!"
Thinking of this, Diz smiled gently unconsciously.
But the smile quickly faded.
His original name was not Diz, but something happened later that made him, as a shield warrior, pick up the sword.
His efforts were rewarded, but his companions who had worked with him at the time would never see it again.
"Roar! (Kill, kill!)"
The Scarlet Slaughter comes again. It has a certain talent that allows it to control the blood in the surrounding organisms to a certain extent. If you are accidentally injured in front of it, the outcome of the battle will be doomed.
Fortunately, although Diz's hand bones were broken, there were no obvious injuries, and no one noticed that the injuries he suffered in the previous battle with Iron Mane Bear had healed at some point.
But even so, the blood in Diz's body was still restless.
The Diz Wolf dodged, and the pile of bones at the edge of the arena was ravaged by the Scarlet Slaughterer and shattered to the ground.
Both parties involved in the competition will receive rewards as long as they win. The rewards for humans are money, power, and beauty.
The reward for World of Warcraft is their opponents.
"suck--"
Diz endured the pain and took a deep breath.
"Sorry, I didn't want to be exposed so early. I wanted to kill more..."
The Scarlet Slaughter shook its head, a little angry.
After two rounds of attacks, he was unable to take down this human.
In the past, it would have already started eating!
At this moment, a belt suddenly appeared around Diz's waist. He held a divine crystal card with his intact arm and quickly inserted it into the card slot in front of the belt.
At the same time, he swung his broken arm violently. A slight "cracking" sound was heard, and the dislocated bones were restored in an instant!
"God's healing touch."
The gentle voice of a certain god rang in his ears, and the emerald green light with strong vitality healed Diz's injuries in the blink of an eye.
The next moment——
"Divine Crystal Armor·Transformation!"
A low roar echoed throughout the entire arena.
