Legend of Shi’En - C97

Only one day had passed since the start of the three days of gambling. Before the second day of gambling had even started, the Underground Fighting Ground gambling had already started. Maybe it was because of the dresses of the internal members of the Underground Fighting Ground, but all the small booths in this small town received their matchups at the first possible moment. And according to these battle tables, they also listed the different betting rates compared to Underground Fighting Ground.

In order to motivate the gamblers to place their bets, these stalls used some unknown methods to understand the names of the competitors in Underground Fighting Ground tonight. Some of the stalls even had their names written on them indicating the characteristics and proficient techniques of the participants. It was time for these stalls to earn a lot of money. They actually printed the information of each contestant into a booklet and sold it at the price of ten taels of silver each. Moreover, this booklet would be updated at the first moment and the information obtained by the customers would become more and more detailed.

This gambling with the Underground Fighting Ground had not started yet, but this place was already full of trouble.

Bai Shatang curiously sized up everything in the place. If it were not for the fact that she was looking for Thirteenth Princess and her junior sister, she really didn’t know that she had lived here for more than ten years. Xu Zengshou was bored out of his mind, so he spent ten silver taels to buy a small booklet. Just as he flipped to two pages, he was attracted by a piece of content in the frame of a small program that he already knew about.

“The Underground Fighting Ground Participant Wang Dachui, whose strength had set-off Hall Master Ji, was unharmed. His battle strength index was estimated at thirty-eight thousand seven hundred.”

Xu Zengshou was puzzled, he thought to himself: Didn’t it just happen not long ago?

Thirteenth Princess and Caicai discovered that Xu Zengshou was staring at the booklet in a daze, and curiously grabbed the booklet, and when they saw the information, they were very shocked, one must know, the reason why this “Wang Dachui” clashed with the people from Jiao Hai Gang, was because of the two of them!

The looked around curiously and found that Wang Dachui’s odds were 1: 1, while the other opponents’ odds were mostly 1: 3: 4.

“Interesting, the payout rates outside are inversely proportional to the Underground Fighting Ground. The smaller the victor, the greater the payout.” Xu Zengshou crossed his hands, and said with a playful tone: “I don’t know what’s going on with this Underground Fighting Ground, but even the stalls outside know that Wang Dachui is strong, so they have lowered the odds of him winning, and yet they, as the main force, are constantly raising Wang Dachui’s odds. It’s so weird, so weird.”

After hearing what Xu Zengshou said, Bai Shatang became even more interested in Wang Dachui, so she took the small book from Thirteenth Princess’s hands and started to flip through it.

At this time, a fighter’s introduction tonight caught her attention!

“One of the twenty participants, Berserker Warrior, main weapon: Black Iron Giant Hammer! The fighting strength index is between thirty thousand and thirty-two thousand. ”

Bai Shatang paid extra attention to the words “Darksteel Giant Hammer”. Bai Shatang had read many introductions about the Berserk Clan in his sect’s books. It was said that when the Berserk Clan was agitated, they could undergo “berserk transformation”, and after that, the strength of the berserk Clan would instantly soar by several fold.

However, there was one thing lacking, when his power soared, Berserker Warrior’s mind would lose his cool, and his entire being would go into a crazed state. He would be like a mad wolf, unable to suppress the fanaticism of battle.

Seriously, I didn’t expect that even the Berserkers would have such a gamble!” The White Yarn Soup’s eyes grew brighter and brighter. She was starting to regret not coming out earlier, otherwise she could have used her status as a contestant to fight with these powerful opponents. In some ways, the white gauze soup was also a militant.

“Eh? This seems to be Wang Dachui’s introduction! ” When he flipped to the last pages, Bai Shatang was first stunned, then he started reading out of curiosity, “Wang Dachui, the strongest in the Underground Fighting Ground, after going through more than a hundred battles, he has not lost a single time, which is one of the main highlights of this grand gambling event. His main weapons: meteor hammer (past), square heavenly halberd (past), blood droplet (past), eight slicers (past), eight bats (past), wooden sword (present), his fighting strength index is above thirty-eight thousand.”

Because Wang Dachui was an employee of the Underground Fighting Ground, the introduction of his skills were extremely detailed. It was so detailed that even the details of what kind of weapon Wang Dachui used in every fight in the past, as well as the names of the opponents and the moves he used, could be clearly recorded.

After reading the detailed introduction of Wang Dachui, when Bai Shatang raised his head, he realized that Xu Zengshou had long since brought Thirteenth Princess and Junior Sister Caicai to purchase a lot of special snacks to prepare for the competition. If not for Junior Sister Caicai who came to wake her up, she would not have realised that she had actually been stunned for nearly half an incense worth of time.

“Forget it. I will still have the chance to meet with him again. I will seek his guidance when the time comes.” Just as Bai Shatang was preparing to put away the booklet, a new booklet suddenly came out.

“Senior Sister, look what I bought for you. The stall owner said that this was just recently printed.” Junior Sister Caicai, who was licking the cotton candy in her mouth, gave a small booklet to Bai Shatang.

The update happened so quickly that before Bai Shatang could finish reading through the booklet, a new one had already appeared. Out of curiosity, Bai Shatang took the booklet and opened it, then placed the two booklets together for comparison.

This newly released booklet now had many more slots for the contestants who had lost their chance to gamble yesterday. Moreover, some of these slots had the words “Dead” on them, while others had the word “Missing” on them. Bai Shatang roughly calculated, in just a day, he estimated that close to a hundred participants had died.

This was not the martial art that she was thinking of, this was simply taking human life as grass.

Xu Zengshou noticed the abnormality of Bai Shatang’s face, he took the booklet and looked, his eyes suddenly releasing a strange light, “Why do I smell the scent of a conspiracy?” To avoid causing trouble by exposing the identity of the Thirteenth Princess, he brought the three into a good position in the Underground Fighting Ground. Then, he went to a secluded corner, took out his phone and dialed Xiang Gong’s and Mu Xin’s number.

Just as he ended the call, a few strange figures suddenly appeared in his field of vision.

One was dressed in a mysterious cloak, the other was dressed as a fortune-teller. The other was a woman with a veil, and their behavior was furtive, always choosing to stay in darkness or inconspicuous places. The man in the mysterious cloak emitted an ice-cold aura. His pair of cold eyes were sizing up his surroundings like a ferocious beast in the dark, looking for a target to attack.

Xu Zengshou frowned as he hid in a corner to size up the three people. His first reaction was to link the three words “assassin” and these mysterious people. However, after he observed them carefully for a while, he felt that that was not the case. Although the actions of these three were strange, he didn’t find any trace of killing intent from them. They seemed to be looking for someone here.

With such strange dressing up and such strange behavior, it couldn’t be ruled out that the other forces had disguised themselves. Their goal was to gather information at Underground Fighting Ground. Just as they were about to split up and move out, Xu Zengshou locked onto one of them and quietly followed.

“The plan has changed. Eldest Miss has escaped.” The moment the cloaked mysterious man and an employee of the Underground Fighting Ground passed by, Xu Zengshou heard these words. If he hadn’t been paying attention to this mysterious person, it would have been difficult for him to hear that soft noise that sounded like an insect flapping its wings in such a noisy place. The mysterious man continued walking forward. He and the staff did not even look at each other. If it wasn’t for those words, no one would have believed that they were related.

“There must be a conspiracy behind this!” Xu Zengshou’s interest was piqued for a moment, he really wanted to know what the two people meant by ‘plans’.

When the Underground Fighting Ground staff member who was cleaning the area walked past Xu Zengshou, he had already seen this person’s appearance clearly. It was a middle-aged man, with a very ordinary appearance, one that was hard to distinguish when squeezed into the crowd. If he hadn’t heard those words just now, it would have been really hard for such an ordinary person to arouse suspicion!

He continued to follow the mysterious man. He noticed that the mysterious man’s movements were very careful. Every time he walked to a new place, he would stop and look behind him. Only after he was sure that there was nothing wrong, would he continue forward.

Even if Xu Zengshou hid the aura around his body well, he would still not dare to get too close to him, lest he alert the enemy.

The Underground Fighting Ground was beyond his imagination. Xu Zengshou followed the mysterious person and walked around for a long time, yet he was still able to see a few familiar faces in this huge gambling den. They were all the contestants who fought against “Wang Dachui” eight to one last night, and he had even heard a few weird words.

Xu Zengshou secretly analysed inside his heart, and roughly reached a conclusion. What this mysterious person planned to do with his Underground Fighting Ground on the final day of the grand gamble was still unknown.

Just as Xu Zengshou was about to continue following him, a clear voice came out from behind.

“Hehe, boy, don’t move. Raise your hand. Tell me, what are you sneaking around here for?”
