Chapter 31 Death Competition! The Conspiracy of the Smiling Tiger
"You don't know?" Athena said with undisguised anxiety: "I just came back from outside and heard people everywhere in the city saying that the human apprentice who performed well in the Aldas Master Challenge last time,
You will represent Darkmoon City in tomorrow's aerial battle in the arena. With your strength, you are simply going to die!"
Chen Rui felt that this competitive competition sounded familiar. Thinking of the scene in the magic shop a few days ago, he suddenly realized that he had been tricked! This kind of vicious plan was a bit difficult for the brave and foolhardy Allen.
, it must have been the idea of Joseph’s smiling tiger!
After listening to Chen Rui's story about that day, Athena frowned and said, "Joseph? Isn't it Allen? How did I hear that Allen released the news?"
At this time, Alice spoke: "Athena, don't look at how Joseph is usually polite and often gives us gifts. The most truly insidious thing is this guy. Allen is just a fool who was taken advantage of.
"
Chen Rui nodded secretly. This little lolita seemed to like taking advantage of others and trying to trick others, but she was actually very clear-minded.
"Then you still want gifts from him every time?" Athena glanced at Alice: "I don't like that guy Joseph, so I never accept anything from him."
Alice's big watery eyes flashed with bright stars: "Athena, the gifts are innocent."
That expression, that tone, and that look were so spot on. Compared with before, the little Lolita's acting skills this time have been qualitatively improved. Chen Rui suddenly thought of one of the most common lines in romantic dramas,
The tiger's body shook violently. As expected, Athena was no match for such sharp eyes and was finally defeated.
It turns out that the little loli is a sinister person who accepts scoldings and gifts. She is worthy of being the leader of the scheming group.
Chen Rui gave the little princess an admiring look and asked: "What on earth is this aerial competition about?"
"It's a bet between me and Joseph," Alice flattened her mouth. "Each side sends one person to control two flying monsters to fight in the air. Whoever falls to the ground first loses. The rule is that you can't do it yourself.
You can only command the monsters, and you are responsible for life and death. This kind of competition is very dangerous, and it is also called an aerial death match."
Chen Rui frowned: "How could you have such a bet with him?"
"This is the 'legacy' left by my deceased father. Back then, under the instruction of the regent, the Red Nether Lord Zhuo Qie sent people to compete with Darkmoon City every year to attack the direct descendants of the White Night Emperor.
It has very little prestige to begin with.”
Alice said lazily: "My father wanted to fight for this, and he would go all out to send people to participate every time. However, after my sister took over Dark Moon, it became much calmer, but my father's fate will always be
Obey, my sister doesn’t have so much energy, so I have no choice but to take over this betting game.
As she said that, the little Loli looked resentful and looked directly at Chen Rui: "Tell me, why does the next generation have to bear the grievances of the previous generation?"
Chen Rui suddenly couldn't resist, and Athena interjected with disdain: "Stop it, Alice, you get excited every time you gamble, and I've helped you win money twice. You better think of a way to make it happen."
Chen Rui, please pass this level. Not only will you die if you participate, but it will also be a blow to Dark Moon's morale. Now the news has spread, even the Chiyou territory has sent a magic message, and someone will be sent to visit, even if it is long-term
Even the princess cannot give orders to stop it. However, if Chen Rui evades and does not participate, he will become the laughing stock of the entire Dark Moon Territory."
"What else can I do? It's better to be regarded as a coward than to die. It's just a pity for my bet." Alice said weakly, "Anyway, I made a lot of money in the last Master Challenge. This time
Even if it means losing money and eliminating disaster."
"Why do you want so much money?" Chen Rui found out that she made a lot of money in the last Masters tournament, and asked dissatisfiedly: "Does it make sense to be a rich princess in Darkmoon City?"
The economy of Darkmoon City is depressed, and there are too few places for consumption. It is like a rural town, and it is difficult to buy good things even if you have money.
"I'm not a very rich person," Alice said dejectedly: "Every time I have some money, my sister takes it away, saying that I can't let my money be used for mischief."
Chen Rui finally had the feeling of gloating over misfortune, which is what evil people will face.
"But Chen Rui, the store opening method you taught me last time seems to be of some use." Alice's big eyes flashed and she showed a sweet smile, "It seems that the human brother is much better than me. This competition not only involves my valuable
His wealth is also related to Dark Moon’s prestige. Can the human brother think of a way to save his own life and Dark Moon’s reputation in this competition, and at the same time... help others win money?”
The glutinous voice of "Human Brother" made Chen Rui's scalp numb, but he had gradually sorted out the matter in his mind - the victory in the last Master Challenge inspired the soldiers and civilians of Darkmoon City.
This competition was most likely an opportunity to suppress morale, and it was probably also the intention of Chiyou Territory or even Regent Obsidian.
Because of this, Joseph first sent people to publicize and highlight Chen Rui's performance in the Masters, held him up high, and then threw him down hard. In a sense, Chen Rui was just
The tool used by Joseph to slap Dark Moon. As for Allen who released the news, just as Alice said, he was a fool who was used as a gun!
Chen Rui began to seriously weigh the pros and cons of this competition. Joseph had obviously planned it. Rumors of the competition had quickly spread throughout the city, and even people from the Chiyou territory were coming. The most despised thing in the demon world is a coward. If you avoid the battle,
, it will be difficult to move in the dark moon or other places in the future, and it will definitely be more difficult to obtain spiritual energy. Moreover, being low-key does not mean being cowardly. Blindly retreating will only make people press forward. Since Joseph wants to use his life to
Attack Shia and Darkmoon City, then let this smiling tiger fall into a big fight.
Chen Rui's mind was racing and he asked: "Little princess, is the competition between you and Joseph a determined outcome?"
Alice was still joking at first and didn't want him to die. Now seeing Chen Rui's appearance, she seemed to have really thought of a way and quickly replied: "No, it's a win-win-win situation. Athena's Beast Control Technique
She is number one in Dark Moon and has helped me win for two consecutive years. Last year, even Joseph lost to her in person."
Chen Rui secretly thought that the reason why Athena has won consecutively is that she has a father who is the number one general in the empire. The second reason is that the significance of competitive games in previous years is not as important as it is now. The third and most important reason is that that bird
The Smiling Tiger has always been secretive, deliberately hiding his strength.
Chen Rui thought deeply for a while, and roughly came up with a clue, and asked: "Little princess, I have an idea, but there is no guarantee of winning. It is likely to be a draw. If you are lucky, you may win. I just don't know how brave you are.
?”
"If you have the guts, you won't lose money. It's even possible... to win money?"
Alice bit the word "money" very accurately. When she saw Chen Rui nodding decisively, she immediately shook her body and showed her domineering attitude: "The word "fear" has never been in the dictionary of the Lucifer royal family. I, Alice.
Lucifer, fearless!"
The little Lolita's strong aura made Chen Rui shudder, and he quickly revealed his rough plan.
After hearing Chen Rui's plan, Athena frowned slightly, looking a little worried. Alice gave a generous gesture that it was okay, stood on tiptoes, and patted Chen Rui on the shoulder: "I really saw the right person, you compare.
The old Gauss next to my sister is even more cunning, so please follow this princess and work hard from now on!"
This high praise made Chen Rui feel ashamed. He suddenly thought of something and said cooperatively: "I have a delicious sugar pill here, please taste it, my lord."
"It's a princess!" Alice corrected, snatched the candy pill, ate it, and then criticized the candy pill for its ordinary taste, which was far from what she expected.
Athena's eyes lit up and she understood that what Alice had taken was the "antidote". She secretly praised Chen Rui for his wit and said: "There is not much time left now. Chen Rui has never ridden a flying monster before and needs to master some right away."
Basic driving skills.”
"Okay, I'm going to the store to have a look. The business has been better in the past two days. It can't be done without this princess to calm down the scene." Alice said with a weird smile: "Athena, I just handed Chen Rui over.
This is his first time with you, so when he remembers that... he needs to be gentle."
"It's just because it's the first time, so I need special training." Athena said in confusion: "What's the use of being gentle? How can you do it without enduring hardship!"
Chen Rui was sweating profusely, fearing that Alice would introduce other ambiguities, so he quickly pulled Athena and said: "Since time is very tight, let's leave quickly!"
After escaping from the clutches of the little Lolita, Athena got a horn-winged beast and took him to an open space outside the city.
The horned beast is a relatively common flying monster with a hawk-headed body, its body is covered with feathers, and its wings are spread out to look huge.
The Horned Winged Beast has a violent temper and is aggressive, but has relatively low endurance. It can generally be used as a surprise attack force in conventional combat. The trump card in air combat is the bipedal flying dragon. It is powerful and highly poisonous. It can take off and land vertically. It is a combat helicopter.
The driver is respectfully called a dragoon. However, the number of wyverns that can be tamed is very small. It would be good for an empire to have one or two wyvern dragoon troops.
As for the real giant dragons that dominate the sky - the dragons in the demon world are relatively rarer than those in the ground world, but they are more ferocious and powerful. Basically no one dares to provoke them, let alone control them.
"This kind of tamed monster is not difficult to control. Originally, gaining its favor was the best way, but now we don't have enough time. You just need to let it understand what you mean." Athena said softly.
He patted the horned-winged beast on the head and uttered a low note from his mouth. The originally anxious eagle's head immediately bowed down obediently.
Chen Rui asked strangely: "Why don't you use saddles or reins?"
Athena shook her head and asked: "If we use that, will it still be called an aerial death competition? And the requirement of the aerial competition is that it must rise to an altitude of 100 meters before it can start."
Hundreds of meters in the air! And there are no auxiliary tools! Chen Rui was shocked. This kind of aircraft is not a bus like the Triceratops. If you are not careful, it will fall into free fall. Even if it has the characteristics of a star now,
Can't bear it.
It seems that we still need to learn the air force knowledge of the demon world.
"Don't be afraid in the air. The more afraid you are, the more dangerous it is. In fact, as long as you master the rhythm and feeling, you can easily control the Warcraft."
Athena said, sat on the back of the horned beast, patted its neck, and the horned beast ran forward quickly, flapped its wings and flew up.
Chen Rui watched Athena flying in the sky on a horned beast with envy. In his original world, human beings have always had dreams of soaring into the sky, and airplanes were born because of this. When the university represented the school in a certain competition, he once
I was lucky enough to take a plane ride once, and the feeling of soaring above the white clouds and looking down at the earth was very wonderful, and Athena's flight on the back of a monster was obviously even more exciting.
Athena controlled the horned-winged beast to maintain a certain height, and actually stood up on the horned-winged beast's back, which was not wide. This was flying rapidly at high altitude, and such a difficult movement seemed quite terrifying.
Athena looked calm, her purple hair was blown back by the strong wind, her short robe was dancing, and her feet were firmly nailed to the back of the monster until the horn-winged beast fell to the ground.
