Kryptonian fate deduction, invincibility starts from killing monsters
#245 - A business-minded arena
Bai Kaize and the others, wearing shackles, were shoved and pushed to a large gate.
After waiting for a moment, some demons came over and returned all their weapons and treasures that had been confiscated earlier.
Clang!
The shackles were opened, and everyone regained their freedom.
The moment Wu Juncai got his equipment, he wanted to cause trouble.
But he was stopped by Bai Kaize.
Bai Kaize slowly shook his head and glanced at a corner.
Wu Juncai followed his gaze and noticed that there were more than a dozen figures hidden in the darkness.
The pressure emanating from those guys was heavy, not much weaker than that of the guard captain.
"Heh, looks like you guys have some brains."
The guard captain chuckled and said, "Now that you've been caught here, don't even think about fighting your way out. Their arena is the largest in Mirage Spirit City."
"Don't even mention you guys, even existences in the Body Forging Realm have to obediently enter the arena and fight to the death when they're caught here."
Bai Kaize frowned, a hint of doubt emerging in his heart.
Body Forging Realm?
What kind of realm division is that?
A trace of doubt flashed by, and he looked at the captain, asking in a deep voice, "If we win, will you let us go?"
A meaningful smile appeared on the captain's face, and he nodded, saying, "Of course, if you can win the first battle, you can leave this arena."
So simple?
Bai Kaize was stunned for a moment.
This elite team of theirs had quite a few treasures and tricks up their sleeves.
Although they were useless against a Stellar Realm expert like the guy in front of them.
But if they were in the same realm, they were very confident.
Arenas, whether built by humans or demons, are all for the purpose of entertaining people.
Therefore, the difference in strength between the two sides would not be too great.
It's very strange...
Bai Kaize silently looked at his teammates, just about to say something, when he heard three muffled sounds.
"Alright, time's up, open the gate!"
With the captain's order, the bronze giant gate in front of them was pushed open.
Sunlight poured in, causing them to squint their eyes.
"Go out, fight to your heart's content, and bring joy to the audience!"
Bai Kaize felt something was wrong, but under the watchful eyes of the guard captain and the others, he finally took a deep breath and led his team out.
After walking a few steps, the bronze gate behind them slammed shut.
Immediately afterward, a burst of cheers, like a waterfall cascading down, erupted.
The group looked up and saw that the circular arena was packed to the brim.
Countless demons were shouting and waving their arms wildly.
"Human whelps!!! Cheer for me, I've bet all my wealth on you."
"Tear the lowly humans to pieces!!! Yahoo!!!"
"Leave that human chick behind, I'll take her back after it's over!!!"
Amidst the frenzied crowd, Shen Lin sat quietly.
He lowered his head and looked at the gloomy expressions of the group, pretending not to care as he asked the scarred face beside him.
"What kind of opponents are these guys going to face?"
The scarred face lowered his body and said loudly, "I don't know. The human captives' first opponents will be drawn on the spot from the demon beasts in the arena's cages."
"In a moment, the host will begin the random draw. They may encounter the most brutal demon beasts. They may also encounter demon criminals, with varying strengths. It all depends on their luck."
"Apart from the duels between those geniuses, this is the most popular battle in the arena. The amount of betting is astonishing every time. Would you like to try your luck?"
"Don't worry, among the people watching the match here, there are many big shots. The arena won't dare to cheat. It all depends on luck."
Looking at his restless and eager appearance, Shen Lin helplessly shook his head.
It seemed that this guy had a big gambling addiction.
His life was in his own hands now, and he was still thinking about placing bets.
Shen Lin snorted expressionlessly and gave him a cold look, instantly sobering him up a lot.
"If these guys win the first match, will they gain freedom?"
The scarred face shook his head and honestly said, "No, if they can win the first match, it shows that these guys still have some value."
"Whether they are captured and kept as slaves, or taken back for cooking and preparation, they are good choices."
"The arena will directly auction them off."
Hearing this, Shen Lin's eyes moved, and he asked, "Auctioned off? What's the price? Spirit crystals?"
After all, he had some friendship with them, and Shen Lin still wanted to rescue them.
But now, with so many demons in the arena, it would be quite difficult to directly take action.
If he could avoid fighting all the demons in the arena and buy Bai Kaize and the others at auction, that would be the best option.
"No."
The scarred man explained, "The arena's human captives are not auctioned off with spirit stones."
"Instead, those who participate in the auction must have a battle in the arena. The ultimate winner will gain control over these human captives."
"This method is more profitable for their arena."
Hearing this, Shen Lin nodded in understanding.
He didn't expect these demons to have quite a bit of business acumen.
The profits from direct auctions were obviously not as high as running a few more matches and opening a few more rounds of betting.
The number of contestants that the arena could find on its own was ultimately limited.
But if they used this method of auction, there could be some surprises.
For example, sometimes, some big shots would get into a fight.
Cultivators in the Stellar Realm and Primordial Chaos Realm would fight on stage.
Not only would it allow the audience to place bigger bets, but it would also boost the arena's reputation.
What a good plan...
Just as Shen Lin understood this point, a female demon in a tight-fitting snake-patterned dress, with a graceful posture, appeared in mid-air.
"Welcome, everyone! Tonight's most anticipated duel, I believe everyone is very clear about it, but the appetizer before that is equally exciting."
"The betting windows on each floor will close in a quarter of an hour, please hurry up and place your bets."
"Now, I will begin to draw the opponents that these humans will face."
The female demon's voice was soft and charming, and she went straight to the point without saying too many useless things.
With a wave of her hand, a disc appeared in front of her.
It was divided into twelve parts.
Each part was engraved with a portrait.
There were ferocious beasts.
There were also robust humanoid demons.
The female demon flew to the disc, placed her hand on the pointer on it, and said to the audience:
"Today, we are fortunate to welcome the two patriarchs of the Silver Mantis Clan and the Blood Ring Clan."
"Both of them are Body Forging Realm experts. With them witnessing, our arena doesn't have the guts to play tricks. Please rest assured to place your bets."
As she spoke, she bowed to the two luxurious boxes at the top of the arena.
Shen Lin looked up and saw the so-called two patriarchs.
Both of them were Primordial Chaos Realm cultivators.
According to the scarred face, Primordial Chaos Realm cultivators were not very common in the entire Mirage Spirit City.
With such existences watching, the arena really couldn't play any tricks.
It's just that with such existences watching, it would be really difficult for him to directly take action.
Just as Shen Lin was thinking, the female demon suddenly spun the pointer on the disc.
"Spin, spin, spin!"
Amidst the audience's shouts, the rapidly spinning pointer slowly decelerated.
Finally, it pointed to a part.
The relief on it was a demon beast that resembled a lion.
One-eyed, golden fur, two wings.
