Chapter 309: Betting on the Dark Blue Dragon (1)
"The draw starts."
When he heard the emcee say these four words, No. 98 deliberately turned his eyes to Huo Yuhao, who was sitting in a wheelchair, who was shorter than the others. His lips moved slightly, and his mouth seemed to be saying: Pray.
Huo Yuhao laughed, and his smile was very strange. Yes! It’s time to pray, praying that you don’t hit me.
The way to draw lots is very simple. There are six small balls in a huge crystal ball, each with magnets on it, and there are two magnets in each of the three areas inside the crystal ball. When the crystal ball rotates and is sucked together, it will become the opponent of today's game.
The two balls, No. 96 and No. 98, have been absorbed in two areas respectively, indicating that the two will never meet in today's game. The other four balls are at the bottom.
"Okay, let me start today's lottery crystal. Turn!" The emcee Ajin pressed a button under the crystal ball, and the crystal ball slowly turned.
As its speed became faster and faster, the four small balls below were gradually thrown up and rotated rapidly. Only those three places with grooved magnets remained unmoved.
Soon, the first small ball was sucked out, sucking into the only empty area of the three areas.
"Okay, the third zone, No. 88. I have to say, you are lucky to be the mysterious No. 88 Soul Tutor. You have not met two powerful Soul Tutors who we have evaluated as Level 6."
He Caitou was the first to be pulled out. The gaze of the No. 98 Soul Master fell on Huo Yuhao again, as if saying, the chances of you meeting us are even greater.
At this moment, another small ball was absorbed. This time, it was absorbed in the area where No. 96 was located.
"No. 37, vs. No. 96. The first area."
No. 37 suddenly looked depressed. He asked himself, if he met Caitou, he might be able to fight. If he met No. 96, who had been recognized as a Level 6 soul tutor, and he might have a carving knife, he would have no chance at all.
"Okay, the fifth one is out too. No. 66, against No. 98, the second area."
Huo Yuhao and No. 98's eyes instantly became weird at the same time. When they looked at each other, Huo Yuhao saw the grim smile on each other's face, while No. 98 saw a trace of helplessness on Huo Yuhao's face.
There is naturally no suspense in the last draw. No. 85, against No. 88, the third area. He Caitou was drawn to a soft persimmon.
"Okay, the draw is over. Next, there is a quarter of an hour to add the guests present. Only those who are present will receive such treatment. The opportunity must not be lost and never come again. A quarter of an hour will start. Please ask three pairs of soul mentors participating in the competition to take their seats. The next five hours will be hard for you, but the winner will be able to get the rare metals prepared for you in the center of the competition. The value of these rare metals is incalculable because they are not available on the market. Each person has fifty-four types, five kilograms each."
After the lottery was over, the entire Golden Hall immediately became busy. From the lottery, many people could evaluate some things. At this time, betting was undoubtedly the most confident. Of course, the odds of the betting within fifteen minutes were much lower than when they were previously betting. But even so, the field still became busy. All thirty-six temporary betting points were all covered.
He Caitou came to Huo Yuhao and pushed his wheelchair toward the second area. The No. 98 also followed.
"Boy, you're dead. Now you're giving up is your only chance to survive." No. 98 said proudly, "This is called people doing it, God is watching. I made you arrogant, but I was really beaten by me. Hahaha."
Huo Yuhao turned his head and looked at Hecai Tou, frowned and said, "Am I as arrogant as him? No. 98, can you be sure to be able to eat me?"
No. 98 snorted coldly, "If you can't even win, hum."
Huo Yuhao smiled and said, "That's better let's make a bet too. This game exists for betting."
A trace of doubt flashed in No. 98's eyes, "Boy, do you still dare to bet with me? What are you betting on?"
Huo Yuhao said, "Just bet on your carving knife. If you lose, the carving knife will belong to me. I don't want your life either. Look, I'm so easy to talk, gentle and generous."
"I want my carving knife?" No. 98 was not a fool. Looking at Huo Yuhao's smiling face, he seemed to have no intention of worry at all. He couldn't help but feel slightly pounding in his heart. This guy was not pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.
"What do you use to bet on me? Unless you also have a carving knife, you will not be qualified to bet on me at all."
Huo Yuhao said: "I don't have a carving knife on the list, but I have a soul guide, do you think it's OK?" As he said, he reached into his arms and took out a soul guide like a heart-protecting mirror. It was the blessing that Jing Hongchen once gave him.
"Brother, let him feel it." Huo Yuhao handed Hongchenyou to He Caitou beside him.
He Caitou came to No. 98 with the Hongchen Blessing in his hand. Everyone is a soul tutor and has a certain ability to distinguish the soul guide. He Caitou just exposed the core magic array of Hongchen Blessing to him and then gave him a little injected into it with his soul power, releasing a trace of Hongchen Blessing's aura, and then returned the soul guide to Huo Yuhao.
No. 98's eyes almost instantly became dull. That was...
Miniature core magic array?
The larger the soul guide, the better, especially for the core magic array, the smaller the soul guide, the easier it is to carry. For example, this world blessing is only a few centimeters thick. If the core magic array embedded inside is too large, how can you wear it intimately?
The same core magic array is ten times more difficult than normal production. Generally speaking, only soul tutors above level seven will try to make it. Although just a glance just now, No. 98 found that there are at least five micro core magic arrays exposed by Hongchen Blessing, and each one looks extremely complex, and it is definitely not a test piece. This is at least a soul guide of level eight or above! And the aura is so strong. The value of the micro core magic arrays inside is difficult to estimate. Because every high-level soul tutor has his own special way when making core magic arrays. If you can learn some, it is simply a treasure for intermediate soul tutors.
No. 98 never expected that Huo Yuhao would take out such a precious thing to bet on him. Of course, he was also confident that his list-ranked carving knife was not lower than this soul guide of level 8 or above.
Greed began to churn in my heart, my eyes narrowed slightly, and I looked at Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao was also looking at him, his eyes were very calm, even with a hint of contempt.
Could it be a trap? He has been pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger. This is to lead me to the trap and win away my list of carving knives.
Although No. 98 was a little proud, he was never stupid. Otherwise, he would not have been able to practice the soul tutor to this level before he was thirty. After careful thinking, he decided to reject this bet. Although this would lead to a disadvantage in momentum, it would be better than really losing the list of carving knives that he cherished his life.
But at this moment, he suddenly noticed a detail. Huo Yuhao's right hand, who was placed on the armrest of the wheelchair, seemed to have a little force to grasp the armrest, and his knuckles were slightly blue-white.
The soul tutors all have a common surname, that is, they have good eyesight. Otherwise, how can they make subtle soul tutors? Seeing his right hand holding the handrail tightly, No. 98's heart moved again. If this guy was not sure to beat me, he just wanted to use this bet to overwhelm me first?
When he thought of this possible surname, No. 98 couldn't help but carefully observe Huo Yuhao. Soon, he discovered another detail. Huo Yuhao's other arm that had never moved seemed to be trembling slightly. The deep part of his seemingly calm eyes, his eyes flashed a little. The eyes that looked at him were somewhat confusing. Although it was not obvious, No. 98 still noticed it during careful observation.
"Okay, I'll bet with you." A confident smile appeared on the face of No. 98.
Huo Yuhao was stunned for a moment, "You really want to bet with me? I am missing a list-based carving knife. Thank you very much."
No. 98 looked at him with a playful look and said, "Do you really have confidence to beat me? I can't see it. Boy, since you are looking for death, I will fulfill you today."
Huo Yuhao said coldly: "If you bet, bet. If you have the ability, you can make a public bet and let the Xishui Alliance testify for us. Otherwise, what if you lose and cheat?"
The thoughts that had already been recognized in my heart and greed caused No. 98 to think that Huo Yuhao looked harsh and cowardly. A sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Okay, let the Xishui Alliance witness how you lost that soul guide to me. Come here." He stretched out his hand and greeted Ajin, the emcee who was on the stage not far away.
Ajin hurried over. He was just an emcee, so how dare he offend the soul tutor of the most noble profession of the Yue Empire!
"Sir, what are your instructions?" A Jin asked with some flattery.
He snorted coldly and said No. 98: "My opponent and I want to have a bet, and we will bet who can win. You Xishui Alliance will be a notarized."
"Ah? OK!" A Jin's eyes lit up. As the gold medal host in the Golden Hall, he knew very well what the VIP audiences like to watch. It was obvious that they could better provoke the gambling atmosphere, especially when they were betting in front of him.
