Chapter 175 Foolish but Powerful Beauty vs. Delicate but Vampiric God of War (11)
Lin Wenyi quickly waved his hands, "No, no, no..."
Even if he were a fool, he wouldn't gamble with her on this. He did have some savings on him, and some money he'd gotten from rich women. But it was all for a purpose. He'd already planned it out; once he got out, this money would be his start-up capital.
With his intelligence and talent, he should be able to live a comfortable life, if not become rich.
If we lose money here, wouldn't that be a huge loss?
Lin Wenyi initially thought He Suining had something to ask him, but seeing that there was nothing wrong, he turned around and prepared to leave.
He Suining sighed inexplicably and muttered to herself.
The voice wasn't too loud or too soft, but it was loud enough for him to hear: "Coward."
"..."
Lin Wenyi usually hates being called a "pretty boy" or a "good-for-nothing," and it's not his fault that he's handsome.
Besides, he's willing to use his face to gain some benefits; who does that bother?
He thought this to himself, but whenever someone said it, he felt very upset.
He turned around and glared angrily at He Suining.
Just then, Fengfeng Huohuo, accompanied by two henchmen, walked over.
She saw He Suining from afar, so she came over to check on her.
As soon as I arrived, I heard her cursing.
He immediately became interested, his eyebrows practically flying off his forehead. The prison field was truly incredibly boring. It was all just fighting and killing.
"Sister Ning, who are you cursing?" Yan Huo glanced at Lin Wenyi standing opposite her. "Oh, isn't this Lin Wenyi? So you're cursing him? I don't think he's a good-for-nothing."
Lin Wenyi straightened his chest, feeling much better.
Who knew that Yanhuo's next words were, "He's obviously a gigolo."
"puff."
He Suining almost burst out laughing, while Yan Huo didn't realize that she had said anything wrong.
Yan Huo raised her hand and pinched Lin Wenyi's thin arm, her face full of disdain. "Skinny arms and legs, my one arm is worth two of yours. I remember you used to have some muscles, how come you're so thin now? No good, you, no wonder our Sister Ning calls you a good-for-nothing."
"..."
What does muscle have to do with being a loser?
No.
Lin Wenyi shook his head, almost getting caught in the fireworks.
He didn't want to offend a woman whose mind was all muscle, so he could only speak gently, "Sister Yanhuo, you don't even know what happened, why are you siding with He Suining?"
"Hi."
Fireworks waved his thick arm. "I like women with muscles. Your sister Ning is quite strong. She doesn't look particularly impressive, but unfortunately, I'm not into women."
He Suining smiled.
She pulled a small purse from her pocket and tossed it in her palm. The faint sound of silver coins rattling inside could be heard. "Lin Wenyi, are you even a man?"
Under Lao Zhou's dumbfounded gaze.
He Suining tossed his bulging money bag to Lao Zhou, saying, "I bet on winning."
"You are crazy!"
Lin Wenyi guessed that she was deliberately trying to trip him up, but he didn't expect things to be completely different from what he thought; she actually bet on winning.
When the fireworks came over, I guessed what it was about.
She thought the same as Lin Wenyi, believing that He Suining wanted to take revenge on Lin Wenyi.
But to my surprise, He Suining was open and honest, and didn't engage in any of those shady practices.
"I believe in my abilities." He Suining's expression was calm, without a trace of bravado. "I'm giving you the chance. If you think I can win, bet the same as me."
"Ah."
Lin Wenyi laughed in exasperation; he wasn't an idiot.
Why would he bet on winning when it was an obvious game he was destined to lose?
No, no.
Could this be He Suining's conspiracy, that she's willing to lose money to get revenge on him?
Lin Wenyi thought about it more and more and it seemed more and more likely.
He pulled out a bulging money bag and hesitated before taking out a little money.
He Suining and Yanhuo exchanged a glance but said nothing.
But they all clicked their tongues in disapproval.
Lin Wenyi knew that the two of them were laughing at him, and his face turned bright red again.
After much hesitation...
Gritting his teeth.
He handed all the money bags in his hand to Lao Zhou, saying, "I'm betting everything. He Suining, you'd better not regret this."
Having achieved her goal, He Suining turned and left.
Fireworks don't need to participate in the competition, so they are outside the arena.
There are two matches in total.
The first round was just an appetizer, but it's said that less than half of the survivors were alive. The second round was even worse; it was basically a mass extinction.
"here we go."
As soon as He Suining arrived there, the gate to the battlefield was pulled up.
There were twelve people participating in this death battle, and everyone was reluctant to go in. But no matter how unwilling they were, they had to go in, so in the end, someone led the way and the others followed one after another.
He Suining followed the crowd and inadvertently walked to Qin Meng's side.
He spoke in a low voice, "You didn't even prepare a weapon?"
Qin Meng glanced at her subtly, then looked at the sword on her back. "Troublesome, no money."
cut.
mean.
How could they possibly have no money at all?
As they were talking, the two of them went inside.
They were standing in the middle, with people behind and in front of them.
He Suining looked at the onlookers beside her.
These people were incredibly enthusiastic, like they were at a concert. But in this setting, that kind of enthusiasm was truly chilling.
Several fully armed soldiers carried in a huge cage covered with a black cloth.
He Suining lowered her eyes.
As they approached, the stench of blood grew stronger, seeping from under the cage. The dripping blood was a chilling and unsettling sight.
Bang.
The cage was slammed heavily to the ground, and the atmosphere instantly became oppressive.
The people in front of He Suining and Qin Meng were already on guard. Those with weapons drew them, those with boxing gloves put them on, and those without them stood up with their bare hands.
She was all too familiar with this atmosphere.
Qin Meng stared ahead expressionlessly, seemingly lazy, but in reality, he had entered a state of alert, with all the muscles in his body mobilized.
suddenly.
A soft hand touched his wrist.
He was startled and looked down.
He Suining had grabbed his wrist without him noticing, and he frowned.
I don't understand what she's going to do at this critical juncture.
however.
He Suining didn't even glance at him, but instead lifted her leg and took two steps back. Because she was holding his wrist, he would have to follow her movements and retreat unless he struggled.
Qin Meng silently followed her backward.
I took many steps back.
They pushed all the people behind them into the gap.
Some people looked back at them with varying expressions, looking dejected.
Why are you backing away?
Qin Meng asked her in a low voice, a voice only the two of them could hear.
He Suining frowned more deeply.
Smelling the blood in the air, she felt something was wrong. "Something's not right. Don't rush in rashly."
Qin Meng was stunned.
After a moment, he hummed in agreement.
Instead of removing the black cloth covering the cage, the soldiers opened the cage directly and quickly left.
A bloody smell and a foul odor, typical of wild animals, wafted from the open cage.
Nobody knows what's inside.
All that could be heard was the low growl of a wild beast.
Subsequently.
Finally, something emerged, its white fur seemingly coated with a golden powder in the sunlight. It was a wolf that didn't appear particularly large, entirely white. Its mouth was slightly open, revealing sharp fangs, and saliva occasionally dripped down, making it both disgusting and terrifying.
If it were just one wolf like that, no one would think anything of it.
The problem is that as soon as the first wolf came out, many more followed. The cage behind the wolves was like a never-ending black hole, with wolves constantly emerging.
Everyone instinctively stepped back.
Overwhelmed by the imposing presence and the foul stench of blood emanating from these beasts, his expression changed drastically.
In contrast.
The onlookers were in a great mood, cheering and jumping for joy, seemingly eager to see the bloodshed.
Until everyone had nowhere left to retreat.
The number of wolves in front of us has now increased to several dozen.
Some of these wolves looked like they had been through countless battles, their bodies covered in scars, while others were quite small, appearing to be just reaching adulthood.
"These wolves..."
He Suining heard someone talking ahead, "Something seems off. They're not like the wolves we usually fight in the caged arena."
But exactly where are they different?
Qin Meng carefully examined the matter with a cold expression.
Suddenly, he spoke up, "It's fighting spirit."
Everyone else was taken aback.
He quickly realized, "That's right, it's fighting spirit."
The voice just fell.
With a whistle, the wolves, as if trained, pounced on them recklessly.
"what--"
Within seconds, one of the men at the front had his arm bitten. He raised the knife in his other hand, a flicker of hesitation in his eyes—whether or not to cut off his own hand.
However, it was this brief hesitation.
Suddenly, a large number of wolves surrounded him and pounced on his body.
The knife fell to the ground, stained with blood.
The man was bitten to pieces, his body unrecognizable, and he lay on the ground.
In chaos.
Someone picked up the knife from the ground, roared angrily, and began hacking at the wolves with each strike as if venting their rage.
This would happen in an ordinary arena.
The wolves that were fighting them had long been defeated, but these wolves had a very different fighting spirit.
They have no fear of life or death.
Whether it's a human or an animal, once they stop fearing life and death, they become quite terrifying.
Less than three minutes.
Half of the twelve people were dead, leaving only six. There was a chorus of sighs and laughter from the stands as people mocked the trapped animals in the arena.
Qin Meng took a moment to pay attention to He Suining.
She was covered in blood, but it was impossible to tell if it was hers or someone else's; at least her arms and other parts were intact.
The wolf pack in the first round wasn't too difficult to deal with.
However, the fearless wolves caught everyone off guard. When they finally reacted, the remaining few, prepared to die, were not entirely outmatched.
When the last wolf is left.
He lunged at Qin Meng.
He effortlessly reached out and grabbed its neck, his large hand hidden beneath its fur, veins bulging.
No one knows how much effort he used.
By the time Qin Meng saw it, he had already roared and slammed the wolf to the ground, killing it instantly.
"puff."
suddenly.
Qin Meng clutched his chest and staggered back two steps, blood trickling from the corner of his lips.
He caught a glimpse of a figure out of the corner of his eye, who quickly approached him.
A few seconds.
He Suining frowned and rushed to Qin Meng's side, "Are you alright?"
"Broken thing, scan his health status."
Noticing the serious atmosphere, the ragged creature didn't dare say anything and immediately began scanning.
After hesitating for a few seconds, it reported the situation to the host: "[Host, health is 99%.]"
"?"
He Suining thought she had misheard for a few seconds, but then she realized what she had heard.
Junk can't lie, and machines can't malfunction.
The only one who caused the problem was Qin Meng; he did it on purpose.
As for why.
She glanced at the devastation around her and immediately understood that Qin Meng was hiding his true abilities.
Sometimes, people who are too capable may be praised, but they are also easily envied by petty people.
He Suining's delicate eyebrows twitched slightly.
He reached out and put his arm around Qin Meng's waist, then pulled one of his arms over and put it on his shoulder. "The first match is over. I'll help you out."
She looked up at him with a worried expression.
Qin Meng's body stiffened slightly.
He wanted to say something, but He Suining genuinely cared about him, and her actions were reasonable given his injury. Refusing would seem odd.
He nodded.
With He Suining's help, he slowly followed the silent crowd out.
Only six people remained.
The casualties were immense, with the ground littered with the corpses of wild animals and humans, so mangled that they couldn't be pieced together. Most heartbreakingly, even in death, no one would collect their bodies; instead, after the tragedy, they would be carelessly tossed into garbage bags, mixed with other trash, and disposed of elsewhere.
"Everyone!"
The host, wearing a feathered hat and a long skirt, excitedly explained the current situation to the audience.
"Our warriors have triumphed over these ferocious beasts, delivering a truly magnificent performance. Although the casualties were heavy, the remaining warriors are all worthy of pride." The host beamed, his voice filled with fervor. "Now, let's take a short break. The second match, our main event of the day, is about to begin!"
"We'll have to wait and see if the Warriors will emerge victorious this year, or if it will be the same as usual."
He Suining helped Qin Meng to a chair outside where they could rest.
Qin Meng sat down in the chair and wiped the blood from his lips.
I looked up at her, about to say thank you.
He then saw He Suining winking at him, "Qin Meng, where did you get that blood pack in your mouth? Give me some."
It might come in handy.
Qin Meng's expression froze, and he looked around.
They were some distance from the others, and since He Suining wasn't speaking loudly, they couldn't be heard.
He breathed a sigh of relief, then glared at her again. "You knew?"
"Yes."
He Suining, ever the friendly type, sat down next to him, close to him.
Her arm was pressed against his arm.
He felt uncomfortable and wanted to move a little closer.
But then I thought about it.
Why did he avoid her? She didn't seem uncomfortable at all. He made it so obvious, acting as if he couldn't see anyone.
So he stubbornly sat down in the same spot again.
