C27 Another Surprise
Compared to the Spirit Stone, he could ignore feelings of disdain for the time being.
People living at the bottom of the ladder tend to focus on reality, and Ox King is no exception. Therefore, with a flip of his hand, he took out twenty Spirit Stone and placed it on the Great Wind Fire Tiger's side. The reason why they placed such a bet was naturally because he had asked the beast driving before. The latter also gave a clear reply, "The Frost Leopard has no chance at all. Although this kind of Spirit Beast is known for being calm and collected, it is still not worth a single glance in the face of absolute strength."
Since the Controlling Beast had made a judgement, under normal circumstances, they would not have made any mistakes.
When the Firestorm Way tiger and the Frost Leopard began their battle, the audience that bet on the two sides were still cheering and cheering, cheering or biting it to death. But after a quarter-hour of battle, the people who had been suppressing the Frost Leopard's victory immediately fell silent. This was because at this moment, the Fire and Wind Tiger's moves had already heavily injured the Ice Leopard and caused it to fall to the ground. It struggled a few times but still couldn't stand up.
Afterwards, the Firestorm Way Tiger quickly completed its final strike, and the Frost Leopard took its last breath.
At this time, the people who had won the Firestorm Way Tiger were naturally cheering and celebrating. The faces of the other group of people were gloomy, each one of them could not help but continuously curse, while at the same time, they were aggrieved over the loss of the Spirit Stone.
Ding Qian, Eagles, and Qiu Shuitian were also divided into two factions. Ding Qian used one Spirit Stone to pressure the unlucky one, while the other two were also used to suppress the giant Firestorm Tiger. With such little bets, naturally he won too little. Even when Ox King happily brought the four pieces of Spirit Stone back, he discovered that the two guys only obtained a hemostasis grass that was equivalent to one-tenth of the value of the Spirit Stone.
One to two, even if he won, he wouldn't be able to earn much Spirit Stone. On the other hand, if he lost, then he would be like Ding Qian, a nobody.
"Looks like this isn't a path to earn Spirit Stone." Seeing the bitter look on Ding Qian's face, Ox King could not bear it any longer and said, "The odds are not higher than 1: 2. No matter what, it's because the bank is making money, so it's obviously unfair!"
"It's always been like that in the first few rounds." Eagles came over and said, "There will be a higher payout later on."
Ox King smiled and said, "What do you mean?"
"Sometimes, the difference in strength between Spirit Beast s is huge, so the payout rate will naturally be higher. Also, it looks pretty similar, but the dealer would also increase the payout rate to attract the gambles." Eagles immediately explained: "Of course, in this case, the compensation usually won't be more than 1: 2. Although the boss won't lose out like this, everyone will be more enthusiastic. There is another situation, which is more interesting. "
"You're talking about the right bet!" At this time, Ding Qian came back to reality and said: "Of course, a 1: 2 bet, because both sides must produce the same Spirit Stone. No matter if you are gambling with the Zhuang Family or with other disciples of the same sect. "
"A gambling match?!" Ox King blinked twice and said, "To be specific, tell me what the situation is like."
Ding Qian composed himself and said: "After a battle, if there is a victory for a Spirit Beast and there is no loss, then you can take out a Spirit Beast of the same level and challenge it to a fight with the winner. If the Spirit Beast that won previously was going against the Zhuang family, then you were gambling with the Zhuang family. If the Spirit Beast belongs to the same sect as you, then the one gambling with you is some kind of junior brother. "
Pausing for a moment, he continued: "In this case, the two sides can agree on the amount of the bet, and then each side can absorb the Spirit Stone from other people."
"So it's like that …" Ox King basically understood what kind of mode this was. But then he laughed and asked: "What if one of the Spirit Beast is not favored, and no one is willing to bet on him?!"
Ding Qian smiled and said: "Since it's a gambling match, then we must have the same level of Spirit Beast, and it seems like we have to be evenly matched."
"True." Ox King nodded his head and said: "Otherwise, if I were to take out a Level Three Spirit Beast and fight against their Level Two Spirit Beast, it wouldn't be a matter of the payout, but rather, they wouldn't even think about fighting me."
"That's right." Ding Qian said with certainty, then sighed: "Unfortunately, I've heard that this kind of gambling hasn't appeared in months!"
"Looks like I have to try my luck with this kind of thing!" Ox King shook his head without any regrets. This kind of gambling, where both sides lost money at 1: 2, made him feel like he had won a battle tailored for him by the Spirit Stone. It was a pity that this kind of fight was a rarity that only happened once every thousand years. It made him feel quite regretful. If not, as long as he seized the opportunity, the Spirit Stone would roll here, and he would earn even more than a fake Spirit Beast!
Sigh, if we can't catch big fish, then it's better to catch small fish than nothing.
Ox King secretly sighed, then turned his gaze towards the two sides of the Spirit Beast battle arena. At this time, the second round of the Spirit Beast Competition had already entered the observing stage. The Firestorm Way Tiger that had won earlier was still participating in the second round since it hadn't suffered too much damage. The Frost Leopard was replaced by a One-Eyed Rock Armored Python. The two Spirit Beast s were still at the level of level two Lower Grade, but this time, they looked to be of equal strength as each other.
Therefore, everyone's interest was clearly higher than in the first round. Hundreds of people had heard the commotion.
It was as Eagles said, in order to attract more people to the gambling house, the odds would be increased. This was indeed the case. After a while, the rates announced by the dealer were 1: 1.8 for the Firestorm Way Tiger and 1: 2 for the One-Eyed Rock Armored Python.
Such a payout naturally attracted a lot of bets. In the end, the dealer actually received a total of three thousand one hundred and twelve chips from the Spirit Stone.
Without a doubt, because of the clean victory in the previous match, the Firestorm Way Tiger had been the focus of everyone's attention. Therefore, there were one thousand seven hundred and ninety-seven Spirit Stone on this side and one thousand three hundred and fifteen on the other.
From the looks of it, the dealer might lose out on this amount of bets.
However, how could the dealer do such a loss? After Ox King, the Controlling Beast asked around, and came to the conclusion that the One-Eyed Rock Armored Python would win this battle, he immediately pressed all 24 Spirit Stone over to his side.
At the moment, Ding Qian and the rest were still split into two, but this time, Ding Qian and Qiu Shuitian were right, and Eagles had lost the Spirit Stone.
After two gambling sessions, Ox King's twenty Spirit Stone had risen to forty-eight. Originally, he had earned close to thirty Spirit Stone and was already very satisfied. In order to not attract attention, he also prepared to retreat.
However, before he left, he suddenly realized that Qi Yaoguang had also come to the side of the battle arena, and he was also carrying a Wind Slashing Mink with a level two Lower Grade!
This Wind Slashing Mink was about the size of an ordinary dog. It laid at Qi Yaoguang's feet lazily, and nothing could be seen about it. But what made people notice, was that this Wind Slashing Mink also had a level two Lower Grade.
Could it be that this fellow wanted to make a bet?
After thinking about it, Ox King immediately moved to Qi Yaoguang's side and greeted him with a smile: "Senior Brother Qi, you also came to bet on the Spirit Stone!"
Qi Yaoguang naturally noticed Ox King's approach and also heard his call. However, this fellow only glanced at Ox King for a moment before treating him with contempt as if he had never seen him before, as if he was looking down on him.
"Damn you!" Seeing Qi Yaoguang like that, Ox King cursed in his heart. Originally, he was prepared to casually smack two Spirit Stone on this guy's body to make a few flowers, or perhaps borrow some Spirit Stone from me to make more bets on. In any case, this guy doesn't seem to be lacking in Spirit Stone, and he even made him suffer a big loss. However, this fellow was the same as that brothel girl. Even after paying, he didn't recognize her …
Mother, you're actually treating me like this. It seems that if I don't give you some trouble, you'll think of yourself as someone important!
Ox King cursed angrily in his heart for a while. Seeing Qi Yaoguang like this, he did not continue to look for trouble. Turning his head, he went back to Ding Qian and the rest and directly asked the Controlling Beast: Fellow Daoist, what do you think of that fellow's Wind Slashing Mink?
"For level two Lower Grade Spirit Beast, they are still quite good existences." The Controlling Beast quickly gave her an answer: "If the Wind Slashing Mink were to participate in the competition now, firstly, it would eat snakes, secondly, it would not only be fast, but it also had a pair of extremely sharp front claws, so if it were to fight against the One-eyed Rock Armor Python, it would easily win and should not suffer any damage."
"So strong!" Ox King stared at him helplessly.
"However …" At this time, the Controlling Beast suddenly used a twist and waited for Ox King to ask about something before slowly saying: "However, if you want to play, you can use a Spirit Beast to fight the Wind Slashing Mink and earn some Spirit Stone."
"I took the Spirit Beast, where did I get the spirit …" Ox King pouted and said half a sentence, then suddenly said "Oh", and said: "Are you saying that you want to use that beast to fight with the Wind Slashing Mink … However, it wasn't that the Spirit Beast hadn't hatched for long, it was true that it could defeat the Wind Slashing Mink. Also, even if we can win, a Ancient Beast like this is not meant to be taken out in public.
"Haha …" Hearing Ox King talk so much, the Controlling Beast immediately laughed and said: "Aren't you thinking too much? Tough Lord is still in the process of recovering his bloodline, how can he have any combat power? I'm talking about the other Spirit Beast. "
"The other Spirit Beast, uh, other than being in charge, do I have other Spirit Beast?" Ox King was stunned: "Don't tell me you want me to use the Spirit Devouring Worm to fight him …. This kind of bug had no fighting power, so if he really took it out, it would be like beating a meat bun or a dog. The Wind Slashing Mink probably swallowed it whole, but it had no hope of winning. Furthermore, Spirit Devouring Worm do not have a rank of a level two Lower Grade. "
"Fellow Daoist is really forgetful." The Controlling Beast laughed and said: "Have you forgotten that when you were buying the Spirit Devouring Worm eggs, you conveniently bought another one for me."
"Ah!" Ox King suddenly slapped his head and said with his eyes wide open: "You mean that Spirit Beast. But I remember back then, it was not just an ordinary first level middle stage Spirit Beast. Why, could it be that this guy has already grown to his current level …
"That's right." The Controlling Beast nodded with certainty, and said: "I realized that the Spirit Beast's body actually contained a trace of the Hornless Kiss bloodline, so I decided to activate it."
Although the Controlling Beast said it lightly, it sounded like thunder in Ox King's ears. He never would have thought that the most ordinary Spirit Beast that he would casually buy would actually become an incomparably rare and precious existence after a month of training from the Controlling Beast. Even though Hornless Kiss wasn't something that was commonly seen in legends, there were many records in the records of Cultivation World. This kind of Strange Beast belonged to a branch of the dragon race, and was also said to be one of the Nine Sons of the Dragon.
"This, this this …" All of a sudden, Ox King felt surprised and didn't know what to say!
