Chapter 314 The Blue Flame
The young slave owners bet in a different way. The things that the loser presses there cannot be taken back. After the winner takes back the things he has bet, the loser will take back the "trophy", that is, the bet of the loser.
However, it is not something they want to get smoothly.
When Shao Xuan followed Su Gu's past, he saw that there were several rows of wooden boxes of the same size placed in the place where he bets were placed. The boxes contained the items that the loser bets were bets. The winner of the bets would take the order according to the value of the bets and then choose.
As for what kind of things they can choose, they were not expected. Many young slave owners put some alternative things when betting.
They do not seek wealth, but what they pursue is just excitement and fun.
"I don't know what kind of thing I can choose later, I hope it's a more valuable one." Su Gu said. He looked at the ranking of his bets and ranked seventeenth, neither forward nor backward.
After taking back his bet, Su Gu stared at the choices of the people ahead. Although they were not so persistent in pursuing wealth, they would be happy to be able to choose a more valuable item and make a name for themselves.
As Su Gu, who has been away from the Beast Fighting City for so many years, has no reputation in the younger generation of slave owners. Moreover, he is not from the three major cities, so his sense of existence is even lower. If he can choose a good one, he might be able to show his presence well.
Yan Hui, a young slave owner in Yanling City, who had just won the beast battle, was sitting next to him and smiling at the person who came to choose the spoils. He probably had a good mood when he won the game. If the things in the box selected by the person in front were not of high value, he would even comfort him twice.
The loser who just fought the beast, Di Sheng, a young slave owner in Huoqiu City, sat on the other side with a cold face, looking like he was not close to anyone.
These boxes were placed by these two people themselves, and others didn't know which box was placed in it.
Shao Xuan also saw a box picked by a young slave owner in his early teens. He put another box in it and opened it and saw what was in it. It looked like sand, but in fact, it was a kind of egg of shrimp living in the desert around Chixing City.
The life of that kind of shrimp is very short and will only hatch and grow when the rain is sufficient. When the rain is low and the springs dry up, they will lay eggs and die. Leave some shrimp eggs that look similar to sand.
Those shrimp eggs were bets raised by the slave owner of Chixing City. If others chose such trophy, they might not be happy, but now they were a child who was just over ten years old and were still very satisfied with this food trophy.
Yan Hui said a few words to the child, and the child holding a box of shrimp eggs turned red with excitement. It was probably the first time he came here and the first time he had come into contact with people from the three major cities.
Su Gu didn't pay much attention to the other side, he was a little nervous.
"Shao Xuan, what do you think I will pick?" Su Gu asked.
"How could I know, what kind of person do you want to choose?" Shao Xuan asked.
"Of course it's the best!" Su Gu became even more nervous while excited.
Shao Xuan looked at it and said, "I don't know what is the best one."
"If you choose, which one would you choose?" Su Gu asked.
"The third one in the first row." Shao Xuan said.
Su Gu looked at the boxes placed there, and the people who were selected in front of them chose more in the second row, while those who were closer to them were selected less in the first row. Perhaps everyone subconsciously felt that things that were far away were better.
"Why?" Su Gu asked.
"Intuition." Although he said this on the surface, in fact, Shao Xuan looked at it with a special perspective and could not see clearly what was inside the box. But he could see that the box emitted the brightest light.
Shao Xuan didn't explain much. Su Gu didn't have time to ask anymore, and his name had been called there.
"Su Gu, Luoye City!"
"Oh. It's here!" Su Gu walked over a few steps quickly.
Many slave owners around him didn't care about Su Gu's strange face. Moreover, Luoye City is not a very powerful city on this vast desert. However, the deeds of the Luoye King were known to many people and were a topic of chatting after dinner. As for the rest of Luoye City, no one cared about it.
Su Gu walked over as everyone looked at him, and seemed to be a little bit nearby, pointing to the third wooden box in the first row, which is what Shao Xuan just told him.
Yan Hui, who was sitting next to him, straightened his body. Di Sheng, who had originally had a cold face, had a slightly better expression. For him, being selected by the people in Luoye City is better than being selected by other people in Yanling City or other people who dislike him.
Seeing Di Sheng get up and open the box himself, Su Gu's heart beat hard, and he had a guess in his heart, could it be...
Everyone around me thought of it, and their voices were much less, staring at the other side.
That's right, what is placed in that box is the bet Di Sheng put on for himself.
Di Sheng opened the box, and everyone felt a red light flashing in front of them.
Inside the box was a red and translucent gem as big as a fist. As Di Sheng picked up the gem, the red light became even more intense, and the people around him felt a rush of heat.
"This is the famous Fire Hill Stone in Huoqiu City?!" someone exclaimed.
Fire Hill Stone is produced in the desert around Fire Hill City. The stone is transparent and attracts many people. At the same time, if power is injected into it, the stone will heat up. The more energy it injects, the higher the temperature of the stone, and it can even easily burn firewood.
In Huoqiu City, Huoqiu Stone is a symbol of power, beautiful and noble. People in other cities may not be able to succeed if they want to buy Huoqiu Stone. Unexpectedly, a mere slave owner in a fallen leaf city could easily get such a large piece!
Shao Xuan looked at Su Gu who was hotly discussed by everyone and thought to himself: That guy is probably going crazy about to be happy.
How practical is that gem? For the Yanjiao people, it is just that. It’s okay if they can be used as weapons if they are bigger, but just because they have big fists, they can only be used as decorations. Maybe they can keep warm in winter and burn fire when there is no fire?
But Su Gu valued its symbolic significance and the influence of this stone among slave owners.
From now on, the name of Su Gu in Luoye City has been remembered by more people, and will definitely be mentioned during chatting.
When Su Gu came back, he smiled very proudly. Some people wanted to fight with Su Gu, but unfortunately Su Gu protected the stone tightly and said that even if he fought, he would not take out the gem. The other party left in disappointment.
The beast corpse in the beast fighting pit has been withdrawn, leaving only blood in the ground.
Soon, the second beast fight will begin.
There are no giant beasts this time, but two slaves. For these slave owners, there is actually not much difference between slaves and beasts. Even slaves are not as good as beasts. When giant beasts come on stage, they are more visible, and slaves are much inferior.
Some of the people standing around the beast fighting pit dispersed. They planned to go to other beast fighting pits to see, but Su Gu did not leave, and he planned to continue watching.
In the field, the two slaves' seemingly irregular moves, and the fist shadows intersected, and then a burst of rapid fractures sounded.
One of the slaves was knocked away, and their bodies rolled in the air and smashed towards the stone walls in the pit. After the collision, a large amount of blood was sprayed out of their mouths.
Shao Xuan could see that several bones had broken in the slave's chest, and these broken bones stabbed his internal organs and injured his heart and lungs.
Sure enough, the slave who fell to the ground tilted his head and died directly.
The reason for fighting the beasts this time is that a female slave who has no master will own the slave.
The winning slave owner was very happy and directly used the power of slavery to enslave people on the spot.
This is the second time that Shao Xuan has encountered slave owners who have enslaved slaves, and this time it is not a practice.
The young slave owner who was enslaving was a little nervous. Although it was not the first time he was enslaved, there were always times of failure. Now he was still in public. If he failed, he would definitely be laughed at by people from other cities and was under great pressure. However, this time he was enslaved extremely smoothly. Seeing that he was successfully enslaved and looking at his slave with his charming eyes, he felt a surge of heat and complacent, and felt that he was really performing very well today.
