Chapter 129
167. Three-in-one. Which one is more important, money or you?
In the luxurious VIP room at the top, the sturdy Landwalker Jierduanle boss was looking at the scene in front of him with a frown on his face.
The panicked gladiator held up his scimitar, and in his panic, he stabbed the huge monster that rushed towards him to death on the ground.
Is this reasonable?
At first glance, it seems reasonable. After all, there are similar plots in many cultural works.
But in the decades since he took over the Colosseum from his grandfather, Gilduanle has never seen such a situation once.
Is it really a lucky coincidence?
Or is it the first time that this common scenario exists?
Looking at the silent scene and the confused host, Gilduanle cleared his throat, took out a small disc, and whispered a few words to the disc.
The next moment, the host at the top of the iron cage suddenly came to his senses, raised his spherical staff, and shouted: "Oh! My Babayev! Look what we witnessed! A brave gladiator. ! He miraculously defeated the behemoth that was impossible to defeat! According to the hidden rules, we will draw ten lucky viewers to give away our lucky prizes! Cheers for our hero!
After the words fell, there was only a sparse response from the crowd. Most people didn't care about the lottery. What they cared more about was how their bets would be calculated if such a situation happened.
The host smiled slightly. He naturally understood what these people were thinking, so he continued: "Then! Let's conduct the lottery first! But don't worry, our wonderful program is not over yet! Our staff will soon let the new The Warcraft will come on stage! Our show will continue as usual!”
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became enthusiastic again. Although there was no cheering or commotion, it was obvious that most people were relieved. As the lottery started, the scene quickly became lively.
Liu Ji, who was "slumped on the ground and shaking" looked at the scene in front of him, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
It's lively and very good.
Then let's continue playing music and dancing.
At this moment, the entire Kaga Holy City is on lockdown, and these people can only keep as many magical beasts as they want.
He wanted to see if their inventory was enough for him.
A few minutes later, a group of logistics personnel came in from the other side and dragged down the body of the previous lizard.
About ten minutes later, Liu Ji heard the roar of a beast coming from behind the door on the other side again.
Not long after, another lizard was brought in.
Should I say that this kind of big lizard is really unlucky? It is a medium to large monster after all, but it seems to be persecuted all day long just because of its large number.
Liu Ji sighed, and controlled his body one by one. He jumped around in panic, trying his best to show his fear.
Seeing the new monsters arriving, the atmosphere became more and more enthusiastic, and the audience even began to shout some words that Liu Ji couldn't understand.
In response to the audience's shouts, the host seemed to be saying something loudly.
Then, with a wave of his hand, the shackles that restrained the lizard fell off again.
Naya Kiss Lizard was stunned for a moment, then turned his head, roared at Liu Ji, and rushed towards one of his clones.
When the clone saw this, he was so frightened that he immediately dropped his sword and shield, turned around and ran away.
He ran in front, and the lizard chased behind him. When he saw that the lizard was about to bite the clone, the clone actually jumped up and jumped directly into the ditch full of spikes beside the cage.
The lizard was stunned when it saw this and immediately wanted to stop. Unexpectedly, at this moment, it felt an unknown force lift up its armpits and pull it directly into the ditch.
Along with the sound of the magic array operating, the silver light of the spear in the ditch flashed, exploding a large number of silver light thorns, which instantly pierced the lizard with holes.
The scene fell silent again for a moment.
People looked at the bloody lizard corpse, dumbfounded, and didn't know what to say for a long time.
Another monster died?
They haven't seen one dead for so many years, but two died at once today? And it's so ridiculous that both ends are dead?
One end was stabbed to death by accident, and the other end committed suicide by jumping into the ditch?
Just go down with these two monsters. This group looks ridiculous. Only one of the five soft-footed shrimps who have fallen so many times since the beginning of the game died...
No, no one died.
They clearly saw that the gladiator who had jumped into the ditch before was now holding on to the edge of the ditch and slowly climbing up.

Jirduanle stared at the scene below, his face livid.
There is a problem, absolutely there is a problem.
Once can be a coincidence, but if two collisions are a coincidence, how low is the probability?
But the problem is, he can't see what's wrong.
The first time he was lucky enough to stab the lizard in the throat, and the second time it was the lizard that ran headlong into a canal and was killed. If there was a problem, then where was the problem?
Is there a problem with these people or with the lizards? Was the first one actually killed by that person based on his own skill? What about the second head? The target of the attack was obviously not a person, but he died in the end. It couldn't be that an Alzheimer's disease just happened to attack, right?
The monitoring magic array did not react, and there were no traces of any external magic being activated in the venue. All signs indicated that the lizard just killed was killed by him.
While instructing the host to repeat the lucky draw just now to stabilize the audience, Jier Duanle sat down in his seat.
After knocking on the table and thinking for a moment, he took out another disc and instructed: "Lao Zha, bring up the big guy prepared for the Wild Beast Festival... I know, but I was in trouble today. Anyway, you just bring it up, and I will arrange it later."
After that, he put away the disc and looked at the venue below again.
"I want to see..." He murmured in a low voice, "What other "accidents" can I encounter today."

In the Colosseum, one of Liu Ji's clones slightly raised his head and observed the reactions of the two people on the ceiling.
In fact, he thought the implementation part was very simple at the beginning, just like bossrush, kill all the monsters called up by this group of people, and naturally they can make trouble.
But now think about it carefully, this plan is indeed too rough and a bit taken for granted.
These people are not fools. Two consecutive coincidences, even if each time seems reasonable, still cause suspicion.
However, whether it is suspicious or not has nothing to do with Liu Ji.
Sometimes, pretending to be stupid is the best way to deal with it.
With a heavy footstep coming from far away, Liu Ji knew that the other party had made adjustments. At least, they were not stupid enough to send a third lizard to die.
Finally, a four-legged giant with huge claws and fangs, abnormally developed forelimbs, and a body height of more than 20 meters appeared in the door on the other side.
The door that looked empty and a little empty before, now seemed a little narrow.
Liu Ji had seen this kind of giant beast in Mir City. Although he didn't know its name, Liu Ji had some impression of it.
This seems to be a very dangerous type among large monsters. Although it is not as dangerous as those giant flying dragons or earth dragons with top danger, it is also a dangerous monster that will scare hunting teams other than top hunting teams.
Seeing this monster appear, watching its huge figure slowly step into the field, occupying nearly half of the space in the cage, the atmosphere on the scene reached an unprecedented height. At this time, the host shouted something in a rather inflammatory tone, and the audience was even more screaming.
Liu Ji looked at the huge beast in front of him that was dozens of meters high, and his head was a bit overwhelmed.
Such a big thing, it seems that it can't be solved by sliding...
It seems that the accident can't be played anymore.
In this case, I can only show a little bit of my cards.
Thinking of this, Liu Ji controlled the clones to sit on the ground one by one, and then controlled the clone that "accidentally" stabbed the Yawen lizard to death before, picked up the short knife in his hand, took a deep breath, and let out a hysterical roar.
For a while, the scene was silent.
Then there was a burst of laughter. Those who did not bet on the number of clothes worn by the clone held up their betting tickets, whistled and cheered, while those who bet on this number cursed loudly, as if they were worried that Liu Ji's clone would rush forward to die.
If he went straight to die, all the money they bet on would be gone.
But no matter how much they shouted, the thing they were most worried about still happened.
Liu Ji controlled the clone, holding the scimitar that was not even a fruit knife compared to the giant beast, and rushed towards the beast.
Seeing this, the host hurriedly chanted a spell and untied the shackles that bound the beast.
And the beast seemed to have been waiting for this moment. As soon as the shackles were untied, it actually smiled very humanely.
Then, it slapped this "idiot who came to die" with one claw.
But at this moment, Liu Ji's clone slid and barely avoided the claw attack.
After getting up and running for two steps, Liu Ji slid behind the beast, put the dagger in his mouth, jumped back, and jumped onto its back by pulling the beast's fur.
Seeing such an exciting scene, the audience at the scene immediately began to cheer wildly.
Obviously, they still didn't realize what would happen next, and only thought that the scene in front of them was the dying struggle in the cage.
However, somewhere at the scene, the ticket sales manager had already sat down on the chair, and felt his hands and feet limp and trembling all over.
Something was wrong.
Absolutely something was wrong.
There was a problem! There was 100% something wrong with the beast fight today!
He stared at the tiny figure on the back of the beast, and felt weak all over, with cold hands and feet.
He had a feeling that this was definitely not a dying struggle...
He watched the man climb up, and he watched the giant beast begin to rage, but the man was like a piece of dog-skin plaster stuck to the giant beast, no matter how he was hit or thrown, he just couldn't get off.
Then, he watched the man climb to the neck of the giant beast and cut the skin of the giant beast with a knife.
The giant beast screamed in pain on the spot and scratched its neck, but the man held the wound of the giant beast tightly and inserted the knife into the cut, and cut again, and again, and again...
After countless cuts, finally, this small blunt knife cut the artery of the giant beast, and a large amount of blood gushed out of the neck of the giant beast. Its huge body fell to the ground with a bang, and its limbs twitched unnaturally. It was still scratching its neck with all its strength, but the scratching became weaker and weaker, and its breathing became heavier and heavier.
Finally, it vomited blood, its eyes rolled up, its limbs gradually became weak and stiff, and finally it stopped moving.
The head of the machine looked at the giant beast, its limbs drooping, its face ashen.
The audience at the scene looked at the giant beast, dumbfounded, and silent.
Liu Ji's clone slowly crawled out from under the corpse, with blood all over his body, and sat on the ground, looking very tired, breathing heavily.
On the high platform next to him, Ya Yin touched the note in his arms and remained silent.
It was a gambling ticket that had just been sent by a wisp of quicksand.
The ticket clearly read--
"Bet content: All duelists survive until the end of the beast fight and kill all the monsters that appeared during the period
Bet amount: 1319 gold Kaga
Bet odds: 1 to 10,000"
In the highest-level VIP room, boss Jildunler looked at the scene below with a sullen face.
Sure enough, there was a ghost among these gladiators.
And it was a fierce ghost.
Although I didn't know how this guy got in, it was obvious that this performance could not go on.
He picked up the disc and said sternly: "Stop today's performance. Since no one bet on the middle-level game, all the bets will be refunded, and then another prize will be drawn to appease their emotions."
The host was stunned after hearing the order, swallowed his saliva, and shouted hurriedly: "Ah! It seems that we really welcomed an incredible gladiator today! He can even kill the ghost claw monster! That's really beyond our expectations! It seems that today's arena is not suitable for his performance! But it doesn't matter, we will prepare a more suitable stage for him next time! So today's bet, because there is no..."
At this point, suddenly, a laugh that was amplified by magic resounded throughout the Colosseum.
Everyone turned their heads and saw that the source of the sound was a short female mage wearing a smock and whose face could not be seen clearly, stepping on the air and slowly walking towards the host's position.
The host was stunned and asked, "What are you laughing at?"
"Of course I have to laugh," the female mage said with a chuckle, "It seems that I am the only one who won the bet today!"
As she said that, she raised the betting ticket in her hand.
The next moment, accompanied by the chanting of the spell, a huge light curtain unfolded in the air, clearly showing the contents of the betting ticket to everyone present.
For a moment, everyone, including the boss Jildunler, was stunned.
They stared at the contents of the betting ticket in a daze, their faces full of disbelief.
Especially the head of the machine, who had shrunk to the ground at this moment, his whole body limp, his eyes dull, and the color of his crotch gradually changed. He was actually scared to death.
"No, it's impossible! That's fake!" Someone screamed immediately.
A single stone can cause a thousand ripples. Along with his roar, the stunned gamblers came to their senses and began to yell, questioning the authenticity of the betting ticket. The venue suddenly became noisy, and people's voices of doubt and scolding became louder and louder.
