Chapter 246 Fighting the King of Kings Again 1
After the phone call, Zhang Cheng got up, washed his breakfast as quickly as possible, and then went out.In the modern society, the transportation is convenient, and he has arrived at the door of Ke Xing's house without much effort.
Use the buster's key to open the door.After one night, the sour smell in the room seemed to be stronger.But these are not problems.Zhang Cheng left Xiao Huihui outside as a vigilante, and entered the Void Castle by himself, and pulled the sleeping nemesis back to the earth after a short period of time.
Now, the usefulness of the nemesis is complete.Zhang Cheng didn't know what the final result of Ke Xing's side was, but this was the first step of the experiment.
After all, God War is too dangerous, and Zhang Cheng has to prepare for himself.When life and death are in crisis, no one can say that they can still have a backup.But if the gods of that world really knew that he was a planeswalker and that the little bear stole divine power, he would have to finish it even if he was lucky 10.Because it would be like a mouse crossing the street and everyone shouting and beating them.Heng'e dared to fight the autumn wind of the gods because he is also a god, "one of his own", and very strong.Zhang Cheng and Xiaoxiong are completely dead.Unless they can become a god, no god will allow this little shrimp to dare to steal his divine power.
Throw the nemesis back on his bed.In order to ensure safety, he also used "magic tricks" to clean up the other party's clothes a little bit, and shaved his beard with an electric razor.In this way, it is estimated that when Nemesis woke up, he would not be able to determine what happened.
After finishing all this, Zhang Chengcai went to the street again to find a car and drove directly to the racecourse.
Although he has basically mastered horse riding, he still needs more practice.It was his first time riding a horse for a long distance before, and he gave himself a score of barely passable, above [-] and below [-].This is based on the premise that there are plains all the way and there are no obstacles in winter.If the terrain is really complicated, then he won't be able to get up quickly, and the chance of falling off the horse's back is really not small.Of course, on the other hand, the harness, especially the saddle, is after all an imitation of the "ancients", and the texture is still a grade worse.
What's worse is that the horse can't do it.After all, the horses in the barbaric era were not riding horses, and they could not even be called "riding and pulling horses". They were really just cart horses.If you really want to gain mobility by riding a horse, you must buy a good horse on Earth.Zhang Cheng also wanted to understand.Anyway, with the driver's license in hand, he can buy a car and drive all the way to the northern horse production area to buy horses, and he can also practice his driving skills along the way.Anyway, he doesn't need that kind of blood racehorse with noble blood and worth millions of dollars.Instead, ordinary horses are more suitable.Of course, having said that, the "ordinary horse" we talk about today would have been a heavenly horse in ancient times, even two or three hundred years ago.This is the power of the development of modern breeding technology.
Of course, such as Mongolian horses or something.The advantages of Mongolian horses are their strong vitality and resistance to rough feeding, not their fast running.Anyway, Zhang Cheng didn't have to worry about raising the horses. He just bought a few more horses, threw them into the cards, and took turns riding them when needed.
Riding a horse, shopping, learning how to drive, and searching for information on the Internet at home.Look for the great wizard Redstone, and also look for where you can buy a boat, buy a helicopter, where you can learn to pilot a boat, and a helicopter, and it takes a day to pass.
As for cars, there is no need to look for them. There are only so many 4S stores in Dongzhou City, and basically all types can be found.It's too late to look for it after the driver's license is in hand.
Nothing to say all night.Early the next morning, Zhang Cheng poured all the dog food at home to Xiao Huihui to eat. Facts have proved that this dog food is really a bottomless pit. kg of dog food, he didn't stop talking until Zhuo Wei came over.Of course, thanks to eating like this, Zhuo Wei cooperated very well when he was put in the cage, and he was not at all awkward as before.For foodies, as long as you are full, nothing else matters.
About an hour after lunch, Lao Liu came to take him.
As soon as he got in the car, Lao Liu immediately revealed a secret to Zhang Cheng with a mysterious smile on his face: "Brother, do you know what happened to Wang Zhongwang last time?"
"What's going on?" Zhang Cheng pretended to be stupid.
"This matter has alarmed experts in animal husbandry, and it can be confirmed now," Lao Liu said. "The king of kings is a genetic mutation."
"You can see it." Zhang Cheng replied sincerely.Xiao Huihui's parents are really just ordinary wild dogs, the kind that are inferior in size and fighting power (Zhang Cheng has an absolute right to speak on this point).But Xiao Huihui is a troublemaker—this is definitely not heredity, but a mutation.
"This dog is amazing." Lao Liu said. "It can secrete some kind of pheromone, which directly stimulates the nerve centers of other dogs."
Zhang Cheng replied with an understatement of "Oh", indirectly expressing his disdain.
"But this trick may not be effective." Old Liu didn't hear Zhang Cheng's tone - he was driving, and most of his attention was on the road conditions. "They said that if you can blow the wind and speed up the air flow, Wang Zhongwang's trick will not work. By then he will be an ordinary puppy."
"It doesn't look like it." Zhang Cheng said deliberately.
"I don't think so either." Old Liu replied casually. "But I can't find a reason other than that. Ah, it's not without other reasons. A friend told me that this Wang Zhongwang may be related to a recent anecdote in Dongzhou City."
"Anecdote? What anecdote?"
"It is said that a mastiff came out of nowhere... Do you know the mastiff? It's not the Tibetan mastiff or the Caucasian mastiff, but the literal mastiff. As the saying goes, ten dogs and one mastiff."
"I don't know." Zhang Chengcheng became a little interested. "What is this mastiff?"
"Cough... I can't explain this for a while. In short, it is a rare mutant among dogs, and it is very strong. This kind of mastiff can be used as a guardian spirit beast by those truly Taoist monks and nuns. .” Lao Liu said. "The appearance of a mastiff means that some strange person has come to our East Continent."
He took a moment to look sideways at Zhang Cheng.Sure enough, the latter was expressionless, obviously disagreeing with this statement - at least not agreeing.It's just that I didn't make a sound out of politeness.
"You mean, this mastiff is the king of kings?" Zhang Cheng had never heard of such a "mastiff".
"Probably." Old Liu replied. "Its real owner may be a strange person."
"What kind of strange person?" Zhang Cheng asked.
"It should be those who are good at Taoism... witches, gods, or Taoist monks." Old Liu replied.This statement is too mysterious, so he just mentioned it casually. "By the way, Zhang Cheng, are you planning to place a bet today?"
"Hmm. Who is Wang Zhongwang's opponent?"
"It's a wolfhound called 'Wolf King.' A real wolfhound, literally."
"What's the literal meaning?" Zhang Cheng knew that wolf dog is a big general term.Many dogs, such as German shepherds and Kunming dogs, are called wolf dogs that are somewhat similar to wolves (of course Erha is an exception, although in fact Erha is most like a wolf).
"That is to say, it's not an ordinary dog, but a crossbreeding of a dog and a wolf." Lao Liu replied. "Very ferocious!"
The car stopped at a red light.It was a super long red light that lasted nearly 100 seconds, so in order to pass the time, Lao Liu took out his mobile phone and sent a video to Zhang Cheng. "Look, this is the short video of the wolf king's battle last time."
Zhang Cheng opened the video.This was clearly taken with a mobile phone, so it's a bit blurry and shaky.When the video was shot, the battle had already come to an end.However, the video is not long, and it can be seen that the wolf king is really fierce.The defeated dog huddled in the corner, its fur covered in blood, and whimpered non-stop, but the audience around them showed no pity for the loser, shouting "Kill it to death!" one after another.As with people, so with dogs.This wolf king was also cruel and ruthless, taking advantage of the opponent's powerlessness to fight back, he repeatedly attacked the opponent's injured front leg, tearing off half of the leg's face, skin, flesh and bones.The dog wailed and begged for mercy, and even rolled over to expose its belly (for cats and dogs, this action signifies complete surrender), and it still bit the opponent's neck, biting the opponent to death.
All in all, this video is indeed bloody and brutal enough, even if it is a dog fighting game, which rarely happens.Such a ferocious dog is really rare - it can be seen that the part of its blood that belongs to the wolf is stronger.
"Aren't you great?" Old Liu asked after watching Zhang Cheng watch the video.
"Amazing." Zhang Cheng also gasped.
"The master of the wolf king has already announced that this time he will directly turn Wang Zhongwang into a delicious meal for the wolf king!" Lao Liu said with some regret.If Wang Zhongwang really loses, this will undoubtedly happen.After all, Wang Zhongwang was too young, so he was eaten in two bites.
"why?"
"The name is a hedge. One is called 'Wolf King' and the other is called 'Wang Zhongwang'. This is clearly aimed at others. Of course the dog owner is angry."
Its real name is Xiao Huihui, okay, as for the stage name... that really has nothing to do with it.Of course, Zhang Cheng also thought about it.Regardless of whether it is the wolf king or the wolf emperor, it is impossible to win Xiao Huihui.
The car has arrived at the dogfighting arena.Everything is the same as last time.The two went in, checked the tickets, and found their seats.But unlike last time, the number of viewers this time was obviously unusual.
There is still some time before the start of the game, and the ticket seats are already full.And the standing ticket area is also overcrowded.The last time Zhang Cheng saw that there were a lot of people standing for tickets, but this time it was not just dense, it was a sea of people. It made one wonder if the people in the back row could still see the next game.
On the other hand, the commentator on the rostrum is already in place.Same as last time, it was Fang Qiu and Ye Yuheng.It seems that these two are the full-time commentators for this Dog King Contest.
When he came last time, Zhang Cheng didn't know much about the Dongzhou Dog King Contest, but this time it was different.He already knew that this event was jointly organized by many dog fighting arenas in the city.In terms of size and quality, at least in Dongzhou this place is undisputed Nanbowan.Not only that, this competition is also related to the provincial capital, and dogs that perform well will almost all be dragged to the provincial capital.
It is said that there are also national competitions...but those are the parts that Zhang Cheng doesn't know about.
The game has not yet started, and the two commentators have already started chatting.It is said to be a chat, but it is actually to set off the atmosphere.
"...Mr. Ye, what do you think of Wang Zhongwang?"
"I can only say that it is an unusual breed among dogs. Of course, I still retain my last opinion. This dog is too early to participate in the competition. If it enters the competition two years later, it will definitely perform extraordinary. It can even be said to be booked in advance. The throne of the dog king..."
"So, you are not optimistic about Wang Zhongwang's competition this time?"
"I have reason to think so. Because Wang Zhongwang is going to face the wolf king this time. I think everyone has read the information. The wolf king is a wolf-dog hybrid. Its advantages and disadvantages are very unique. Not good news."
"What are the strengths and weaknesses of wolfhounds?"
"A good wolf dog will have both the strengths of its parents. It has the larger size and strength of a dog, and the ferocity and cunning of a wolf. As we all know, a wolf as a wild beast has a much stronger will to fight than a dog as a domestic animal. Unless the weight It has a great advantage, otherwise the dog will not be able to defeat the wolf. It will not give up the fight easily like a dog."
"That is to say, the king of kings who fight with momentum will suffer."
"Yes, it will suffer a lot. Of course, Wang Zhongwang is indeed a heterogeneous, the only special fighting dog I have ever seen in my life-in fact, it is not only me, it is probably the only one in the whole world. My logic may not be valid."
"If you bet, who would you choose?"
"I will choose the wolf king. Comparing the two, the odds are about [-] to [-]. The king of kings is four, and the wolf king is six."
"That is to say, in your eyes, this is a close match?"
"Yes, generally speaking. But the wolf king has a slight advantage. Of course, nothing can be determined until the final result comes out."
The two commentators were chatting, and the audience in the field grew.At this time, it is not the final final, the dog king battle is just a match for the top 32.No need to ask, this kind of hot scene is because of Wang Zhongwang.Everyone wants to get to know each other.After all, this is the first time even a well-informed professional has seen such a singular dog.
"Okay, it seems that our contestants for this competition are already in place. Then, the first one will be our star of today's competition! Even though he is a puppy, he is enough to challenge any enemy's King of Kings!"
While speaking, Fatty Zhuo had already entered the stage.
