Chapter 47: Poison First, Detoxify Later
“No way. I’m about to defeat him. How can he admit defeat now?”
The players at the back were not happy. Fang Yuan admitting defeat at this time meant that after the attrition battles, he was already exhausted.
If he went on stage and defeated a person who had won more than ten rounds in a row, wouldn’t his reputation be greatly boosted?
He did not want to miss such a great opportunity!
“Yeah, isn’t it too much to admit defeat?”
“Come on, let’s continue fighting. One who admits defeat is not a man. Come out, let’s fight!”
“Do you really think that you can be shameless just by covering your face?”
“Come on, let’s continue fighting!”
The clamor in his ears was incessant. Rays of light flashed from their pets, and at the same time, they actually released their pets.
They couldn’t wait to have a fight with Fang Yuan.
But wasn’t this courting death?
The Silverman Colosseum had its own rules. In the course of the attrition battle, if the initiating party won more than half of the total challenge, he could take the initiative to admit defeat and request to end the battle.
Now, Fang Yuan had challenged 30 trainers in the attrition battle, and he had already defeated 16, this way, it was neither a win nor a loss. It was a draw.
According to the procedure, the pet trainers who did not participate in the battle needed to go up and shake hands with Fang Yuan. The pet beasts also needed to express their feelings to each other in a simple manner.
Due to the rules in place, the opponents only dared to shout, but they did not dare to really go up and look for trouble.
Behind the mask, Fang Yuan’s smile became more and more radiant. The more he looked at them, the more he thought they’re cute. They all looked like pennies.
Not only was he not upset, he went up and shook hands with all the other players who kept shouting.
The iris spider king had also made friendly contact with his opponents’ pets.
It turned out…
That’s because he had it all figured out.
In the previous training sessions, the iris spider king’s venom ability has been greatly improved by killing a large number of demonized rats.
Now, it could be said that pet beasts below platinum grade could do nothing against the iris spider king’s venom.
Perhaps the venom would not cause a fatal effect on the pet beast, and it would not be able to directly kill the opponent.
However, this debuff was like a halo of negative emotions that persisted, like a dark cloud hovering above the pet beast’s head!
Fang Yuan waved his hand and asked the manager to come over.
“Lord Sweep the Horizon, this card of yours, including your bet and the commission from the fight, now it has a total of 153 million. Please check.”
“Okay.”
Fang Yuan simply nodded. “No need to check. Oh yes, when they look for me later, remember to tell them that I’m in the alley behind the Colosseum.”
“Ah?”
The manager was at a loss and could not understand what it’s all about.
Looking at Fang Yuan’s back, he wanted to chase after him and ask a few questions. However, due to the presence of those pet trainers who were still clamoring, he did not dare to be too intimate with Fang Yuan.
Behind the Silverman Colosseum, in the alley.
Fang Yuan was playing with the small silver card, waiting calmly for another small sum of money to come to him.
“How much should I charge? They are all gold grade pet trainers, they must be very rich. Ten million each. Is it too expensive?”
“It should be about time now, right?”
In the trainer’s lounge in the Colosseum, the usually quiet lounge was very noisy.
There were a total of thirty trainers gathering together, so much so that this lounge, which was more than 100 square meters, seemed a little packed.
“If I had known earlier, I would have been in the front row. I just happened to have a stomachache, so I went to the toilet. In the end, that so-called Sweep the Horizon admitted defeat. What a killjoy!”
“Were you in the toilet then?”
The tone used could not hide the disdain in it. Clearly, he had wanted to hide when he saw that he could not win. Now, Fang Yuan admitted defeat, and he was putting on an act.
Without waiting for the other party to refute, the person continued, “Why not? I was standing in line and I was about to be next. I think that Sweep the Horizon was afraid of me. Otherwise, how could it be so coincidental that he just happened to admit defeat at a certain point in time?”
“Sweep the World? He shouted his name so arrogantly, but he still lost…”
As the person was shouting, he heard a painful howl from behind him. He turned around and saw that his pet’s forehead had already turned green. It was obvious that he had been poisoned.
“Hey, that’s not right. Snow Cold White Bear, what’s wrong with you?”
“What’s going on… Spiky Head Turtle, what’s wrong with you?”
“Something’s wrong with my Spirit Horn Rhino, too!”
Exclamations sounded one after another, each more anxious than the other.
The mutual dependence between a pet trainer and a pet beast was not just a simple matter. A pet beast was the foundation of a pet trainer.
Right now, their base, their foundation, had problems. They were so anxious that they were about to jump off a building.
The group of beast tamers soon found the reason.
“It must be the work of the iris spider king!”
To be able to do such a thing to such extent, it was only that d*mned Sweep the Horizon!
However, Sweep the Horizon had already left, just when the trainers were dumbfounded.
The manager who was passing by was caught in the crossfire. He was surrounded by more than thirty pet trainers. Moreover, they were trainers who owned gold grade pets. The manager was almost scared out of his wits.
Fortunately, he could recalled what Sweep the Horizon had said.
He immediately shouted, “In the alley behind the colosseum. He said he was in the alley behind the colosseum!”
More than 30 trainers disappeared in the blink of an eye. Only the manager was left in a mess. His mind was a mess and he did not understand what had happened.
“They’re here. So slow.”
Fang Yuan pursed his lips. According to his deduction, the poison he had gotten the iris spider king to poison had already acted up.
These trainers had come too slowly. They definitely did not look for the manager immediately.
Not only were they not strong, their brains did not seem to be too good either.
After silently defining the group of victims, the cynicism on Fang Yuan’s face disappeared.
More than 30 trainers had come at once. He needed to be able to control the situation. Otherwise, forget about getting paid, it would be good enough if he didn’t get beaten up.
“It’s him. Sweep the Horizon. Hurry up and hand over the antidote!”
“Everyone, come at him together. Beat him up first!”
“Hand over the antidote and I’ll spare your life!”
There was a mess of everything, but the person who wanted to beat him up didn’t lead by example to be the first to step forward.
It seemed that his consecutive victories in the colosseum had some deterrent effect. At least, they did not immediately surround and gang up on him.
“Don’t make noise. Do you still want to save your pet?”
Fang Yuan stomped, jumped onto the wall and said slowly from a high vantage point.
The scene immediately froze. No one had expected Fang Yuan to be so strong.
There were more than 30 people on their side. Even if you were strong, you would not be able to withstand so many people ganging up on you, right!
However, they had never fought with each other in the previous round of battles.
Furthermore, their pets were poisoned. They were at a disadvantage. No one dared to go forward.
“One by one, pay ten million. Then release your pet. I’ll treat them.”
The 30 trainers looked at each other. No one knew what to do.
Poison first, then detoxify?
D*mn it. This was extortion!
Seeing that the other party was so angry that they were going to fight to the death. Fang Yuan looked down from above and said faintly again, “Don’t forget that your pet beasts don’t have much fighting strength now. Think carefully before you attack. Otherwise, you’ll have to pay twice as much if you get beaten up later.”
The courage that they had just gathered was instantly destroyed.
Fang Yuan’s words hit their sore spot. Almost every trainer here trained a pet beast individually.
If the only pet beast was killed by Fang Yuan, their fighting power would be reduced by 60-70% without their pet beasts.
Even if they ganged up, they didn’t seem to be able to defeat him. They were desperate.
“Sweep the Horizon, don’t go too far… uh, I just want to ask, is it all of us to gather 10 million?”
The golden light behind Fang Yuan faded, and the iris spider king slowly disappeared. Its threatening gaze became friendly. “Of course… not, ten million each.”
“Ah? Lord Sweep the Horizon, I don’t have that much. If we had ten million, we wouldn’t have to fool around in the underground Colosseum anymore.”
“Your request is too high. We can’t afford it.”
“Yeah, I really can’t afford ten million. Lord, you know that raising pets costs a lot of money. We don’t have any savings, so we really can’t afford ten million.”
All of them cried out with great enthusiasm.
However, Fang Yuan could also see that they were all poor people. The dream of ten million per person disappeared in the blink of an eye. He couldn’t help but feel dispirited.
