Chapter 221: Sorrow After Joy

Because of its previous strength, Huang Dou's odds were kept at a very low level of around 1.2. However, Huang Dou's previous performance was too good, so people were naturally very enthusiastic about betting on it.

When Bell finally gave in, inside and outside the spirit fighting arena, no! The entire city of Soto fell into a sea of ​​joy.

Countless colorful fireworks bloomed in the sky, and deafening cheers and applause resounded through the sky.

Many spectators stood up excitedly and threw copper, silver, and even gold coins into the central spirit fighting arena.

These coins drew arcs in the air, like golden raindrops falling on the ground.

Huangdou and the others, who were still supporting each other and barely holding on with one breath, were caught off guard by the sudden rain of coins.

The shining coins under the light, the enthusiastic and red faces of the audience, and the waves of people make people wonder why this ancient project of fighting souls is so popular in Douluo Continent.

The Royal Dou Sentai has won the hearts of countless people. They used their skills and blood to show what true soul fighters are.

Yu Tianheng, who had blocked meridians and was depleted of energy and blood, straightened his back with difficulty, raised his head proudly, enjoying the honors and praises that he and his team members had exchanged for their lives. The other team members also supported each other and walked to the center of the stage.

Under the illumination of the light soul guide, they bowed deeply to the audience, and then bowed deeply to their teacher Qin Ming.

Qin Ming is the glue between Huang Dou and these proud men, and he is also their mentor. It was Qin Ming who taught them the meaning of team spirit and gave them the confidence and courage to continue fighting.

Qin Ming in the audience was also excited at this moment. He walked through the crowd and jumped onto the stage, holding Yu Tianheng's hand.

"You did a great job, I'm proud of you." Then he raised Yu Tianheng's hand high.

The atmosphere on the field also reached a climax.

The people of Soto City spontaneously organized carnivals, laughter and dancing, flowers and songs, food and spirits.

Neighbors moved tables and chairs from their homes to the street, merchants and merchants brought food and liquor in small carts, and people laughed, sang and danced heartily, and happiness spread to everyone's hearts.

Even the speculators who chose Shrek were affected by the atmosphere and temporarily forgot the pain of losing money and joined the carnival.

Yu Tianheng and his teammates were also surrounded by the crowd. They were put on the carriage and began to parade around the Soto City Great Spirit Arena.

They waved on the carriage and accepted the people's blessings and admiration. They saw the children on the street cheering for them. Those innocent children knew that because of these people, they could have a good meal today.

The old people on the roof nodded and smiled at them, and the beautiful girls leaned out of the windows and blew passionate kisses to the team members.

Looking at the crowd around them and feeling their joy and respect, the hearts of everyone in the Royal Fighter Team were filled with warmth and emotion.

This self-organized carnival will always be remembered in his and the hearts of the people of Soto City. This is a festival that belongs to them, a victory that belongs to them.

The sound of carnival gradually passed along the gap in the sewer and turned into a dull hum in the deep underground river.

In the dark and humid underground, the remaining gray water in the ditch makes a gurgling sound, flowing along the underground river to the outside of the city. Here are those disgusting soul beasts that rely on the remnants of human life. Except for those professionals, few people will set foot in this place. place.

In the dark underground, a sound broke the silence of a place where no one had been for a long time.

A small boat that could only accommodate one person, with a series of rafts tied to the back, floated out of the city along the underground river.

The person sitting on the small boat is none other than Manager Ao from the Great Soul Fighting Arena in Soto City.

In the dark underground, only the light from the soul guide lamp on the bedside of the boat can make people feel at ease. Manager Ao rowed the boat time and time again, with a nervous and serious expression.

The raft behind him floated slowly in the water and made a crisp sound, but under the cover of the thick ground, no one in Soto City noticed this shadow hiding underground.

The carnival lasted for a whole day, and in the early morning, the city slowly fell asleep. The lights shone all night long, and even the stars were obscured by the bright lights.

People spent an unforgettable night in joy, dreaming of redeeming their lottery tickets the next day and improving their lives.

At noon the next day, when the citizens came to the prize redemption center in the corner of the Grand Fighting Arena with their carefully ironed lottery tickets, they were shocked to find that the place was already empty.

The doors and windows of the prize redemption center were smashed, the tables and chairs inside were overturned, and there was a graffiti on the wall that read

"Thank you for your generous donation and wish you all the best of luck."

The huge jar in the square was also smashed, and the angry crowd discovered that the gold coins were just duplicate projections made by the soul guide, and there were only a pitiful fifty or so gold coins at the bottom of the jar.

This is just a drop in the ocean of betting for the citizens of the entire city. They were deceived and they were taken advantage of by shameless scammers.

People started roaring and crying, how happy they were yesterday and how angry and desperate they were today.

Angry crowds want to find the scammers and get their money back. But they soon discovered that the scammers had long since disappeared without a trace.

No one knows how these people quietly left Soto City with such a huge amount of gold coins, and no one knows where Rhodes and his gang went.

It was as if they had never appeared before, leaving only a mess and a group of wailing and angry victims.

Not only ordinary poor people, but also many wealthy businessmen and old nobles participated in this unprecedented battle. The funds they invested also disappeared with that night.

Soto City changed from a lively commercial center to a place full of wailing and dull atmosphere. The shops were closed, the markets were empty, and there were only a few vagrants and beggars on the streets.

Everyone in this city is filled with tremendous pressure, and it only takes a spark to detonate this huge powder keg.

In a quiet garden in the aristocratic district of Soto City, the well-dressed gentleman admired the lights of Soto City from the rooftop.

"Roz, Ross, although the plan did not go according to the script, the accident seems to have turned out to be more perfect than the planned result. You did a good job."

The gentleman had his back to Ross, stroking the railings carved from precious wood, his voice rich and full of dignity.

"Thank you for giving me the opportunity. The gold soul coins have been transferred out of the city. When will we carry out the second step of the plan?"

Ross couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, and the abyss was a little trembling. He had already proved his worth to the adults, and he hoped to go further.

"Don't be so anxious. A good show needs enough preparation to bring about the impact of the climax. Next, let the city brew its own brilliant future."

"We just need that push at the most critical moment, and when the time comes, you'll know."

The gentleman waved his hand and signaled Ross to leave. He did not look back at his subordinate.

Ross retreated respectfully, not daring to disturb the gentleman's thinking. He knows that the Lord has a more profound strategy and goal, and he is just a pawn.

The gentleman was observing the city carefully from the top of the building. No one knew what kind of anger this gentleman's shadowed eyes contained.

In this catastrophe, Shrek is not exempt from the impact.

There is no airtight wall in the world, and with the help of thoughtful people, the deal between Flender and Rhodes began to become known.

When the angry stones from the public were thrown into Shrek Academy, Flanders realized that Qin Ming's previous warning to him was not the imagination of his immature students.

It is a huge crisis that cannot be underestimated.

He saw the scene outside from the window. A group of angry citizens rushed towards Shrek Academy with various weapons such as stones, sticks, shovels and so on.

They chanted slogans such as "Give me back my hard-earned money," "Shrek is a liar," and "Down with Flanders."

Flender felt an unprecedented fear. He knew that he had made a mistake in cooperating with Rhodes, but he did not expect that it would cause such a big fuss.

He thought that as long as he made enough money, he could give himself and his students a better life, but now he has fallen into an irreversible abyss.

He remembered what Qin Ming said to him that day,

"Rose's backstory is not simple. You have to be careful when cooperating with him. They have big plans. Teacher, don't let this fire burn you."

Flanders didn't listen at the time. He felt that Qin Ming was worrying unfoundedly. In the previous contacts, he had completely grasped the initiative in the transaction and all risks were within control.

Even if you encounter problems, you can turn them into disasters thanks to your rich experience and strength.

But now he realized that Qin Ming was telling the truth, but he was being manipulated by Ross.

Originally taking care of the students who were injured in the spirit fight, Flender's income from Rhodes gradually came to an end, and the anger of the people directly cut off his livelihood.

Flender's shop had been smashed into pieces a long time ago, and the inside was in a mess like a strong wind. The small business could not be run, and the fighting spirit's bounty had shrunk rapidly because of Rhodes' actions.

Everyone is out of money. Not to mention taking out real money to continue taking the risk of a big loss.

Flender ran to his small shop and looked at the shattered glass windows and overturned counters, feeling heartbroken.

The crime rate in Soto City is increasing day by day, and countless people fell from the civil class after that night and became homeless and beggars.

The streets were filled with beggars and thieves, fighting and robbing for a mouthful of rice or a copper coin. Some even sell their bodies and souls just to survive.

The order of the city collapsed, and the inspectors were unable to control the situation. Some people even began to doubt the ability and correctness of Wuhundian and Qian Renxue, and they began to connect in secret.

Everything seemed to be running exactly according to the gentleman's plan, but Qian Renxue was not as stupid as others thought. The Imperial Battle Team she had booked early was just a casual move she made to test.

Qian Renxue has already discovered the intentions of these malicious outsiders. In her plan, this is just a preparatory step for completing the future she had previewed with her master Ning Fengzhi.

However, who knows whether Qian Renxue has underestimated the people of the world, and her plan may not be implemented as smoothly as she imagined with the help of the gentleman's plan, and it may not be backlashed.
