"Something is wrong. As soon as these monsters appeared last night, they attacked Sunset City. They rushed in like a tide, endless and continuous. They didn't give us any chance to breathe. This time, they didn't attack directly like before."
Xue Kunlun said calmly.
He has a kind of coldness in his body, and his nature is cold. This kind of character allows him to observe the changes of various things more carefully and subtly. He can perceive the changes on the battlefield in the shortest time, calmly analyze the situation, and make the most rational judgment.
"These monsters are no longer completely unorganized. I'm afraid there is a leader."
Jia Xu started to guess.
A snake cannot survive without a head, and an army cannot survive without a general.
Without a strong leader, judging from what we saw yesterday, it is impossible to maintain this steady state. This is not normal, and abnormal means something has changed.
Uncontrollable changes are happening.
The army began to approach Sunset City and stopped five kilometers away from Sunset City.
"Look, what is that?"
"A wooden horse, with a person sitting on it. No, it's not a person, but a clown wearing a weird clown mask."
"There's something strange. When he came over, the monster army not only did not stop him, but also separated naturally after connecting. This is not an ordinary clown. He must be the leader of the monster army."
The soldiers on the city wall witnessed this and were secretly shocked.
With my own eyes, a clown riding a wooden horse came forward step by step, appeared in front of the battlefield, looked up at Sunset City, and there was a strange look in his eyes, the look of seeing something new, the look of seeing an interesting toy. On his mask, the expression of laughter was even more intense, which was shocking to watch.
"Jokers, Trojans. These armies of monsters can be controlled."
When Yi Tianxing saw this, a solemn look appeared on his face.
Such a clown came out riding a wooden horse, and the monster army around him was obviously under his control. It was obvious at a glance that he was not a simple guy. Yesterday, I thought that the monster army had no mind and was only controlled by various killing and destruction desires. Now it seems that this is not the case. The out-of-control monster army is compared with the rational and even controllable monster army.
The threat power can be said to increase exponentially.
This completely overturns the original understanding of monsters.
"Interesting, humans, a war city occupied by humans. Good evening to all the human friends on the city wall. Your favorite clown is here to send you the best wishes. May the night be with you forever."
The clown laughed and performed a very gentlemanly gesture on the wooden horse facing the city wall.
"Joker, who are you and where are you from? Are you controlling these monster armies?"
Yi Tianxing asked in a deep voice.
He had no intention of engaging in direct combat, as being able to talk to an enemy would be more helpful in understanding some information on the battlefield and the origins of these monster armies.
"In the realm of destiny, he is also a lord of fortune. How interesting."
The clown glanced at Yi Tianxing and showed a strange smile. His eyes seemed to be able to see many unusual things. He could see things that others could not see, and he could tell Yi Tianxing's identity and even his cultivation level at a glance.
"My name is the Joker, and I know everything you want to know. However, you can also know it if you want, but not without conditions." The Joker said with a smile.
"What conditions?"
Yi Tianxing heard this and frowned slightly.
"Let's play a game. If you can win, then of course, I will answer whatever you ask." The clown said with a smile.
"What if I lose?"
Yi Tianxing asked.
"That's also very simple. If you lose, you will naturally know what the consequences will be."
The clown did not give a direct answer, but avoided the topic.
"I can't agree to this." Jia Xu frowned slightly when he heard this, and said, "This clown's origins are unknown, his methods are unknown, and the conditions for winning or losing are not clear. If we rashly gamble with him, no one knows what the consequences will be. Once an accident occurs, the consequences will be disastrous."
There are too many uncertainties involved, and in his opinion, it is totally not worth it.
The secret of the battlefield of gods and demons will be known sooner or later as long as you survive. There is no need to gamble with this clown. This clown seems to be shrouded in a layer of strange mystery, which makes him feel very bad and very dangerous.
He is definitely not a simple person.
"That's right, we can't agree to this. This guy definitely has bad intentions. He is obviously one of the monsters. We can't bet with him." Ye Zhiqiu also said loudly. He felt a strong threatening aura from this clown.
"Hehe, have you thought about it? The origin of the battlefield of gods and demons, the origin of these monster armies, and even the star gate. What is behind the star gate? As long as you can win, I can tell you all this information. And I will tell you everything I know."
The clown said this playfully, not caring at all about the trouble that other people's dissuasion might bring to him.
There is absolutely no worry about this.
"How do you want to bet?"
Yi Tianxing's eyes flashed and he asked.
This is an opportunity, an opportunity to truly understand the battlefield of gods and demons. Maybe there will be a chance to know it in the future, but knowing it now is better than knowing it later. Invisibly, it can take the lead to a certain extent. Gaining an advantage is not just about survival alone, but also a competition for hegemony among all races. One step ahead, every step ahead. With such an opportunity, Yi Tianxing naturally does not want to miss it easily.
The most important thing is that the Joker may bring information about what is behind the Star Gate.
This kind of information is absolutely the most precious, and it is not necessarily available in the battlefield of gods and demons. This is the last straw that overwhelmed the balance in my heart.
"It's very simple. We both set questions and play a game. Whoever loses has one more chance to tie the game, but if he loses both games, he loses completely. This way of betting should be fair. I don't know what you think. I don't think the dignified Lord of Yun Dynasty would have the courage to bet with me even once."
The clown said with a smile, with a strange hint of provocation in his words.
This kind of provocation makes people unconsciously affected and led by their words.
"Okay, one time per person, fair enough."
Yi Tianxing nodded, but he didn't relax at all. The fact that the Joker could make such a bet decision meant one thing: he was confident that he would win, and could even be said to be conceited.
"That's great! Since you've agreed, it's considered a signed contract. The long river of fate is witnessing it. No one can fake it." The clown said with a smile.
"Very good, then I will decide the first round. This time, we bet hard." When the clown heard Yi Tianxing's agreement, he stretched out his hands and began to clap. He said while clapping.
"How to bet hard?"
When Yi Tianxing heard this, he frowned slightly.
I originally thought it was some other way of gambling, but obviously, this is not an ordinary way of gambling.
"It's very simple, Lingchi." The clown said with great excitement: "You and I will each send out a warrior. Lingchi is an extremely cruel and painful punishment in the world, and my bet is to let the selected warriors cut off their own flesh and blood piece by piece, one by one, and cut 129,600 times. In this process, they will add five senses to increase their physical fitness. Any feeling will be magnified ten times, a hundred times. Once the knife is cut, they will endure pain that ordinary people can't imagine. Whoever can't bear it will lose."
It’s cruel. This is not ordinary cruelty.
On the execution ground, for the prisoners who were to be tortured to death, as long as they knew they were going to be tortured to death, they would definitely want to commit suicide on the spot and end it directly. The pain, watching themselves being tortured by the knife, the fear, the pain, are all unimaginable. The pain brought by each knife will double, and this is when someone else does it. To be able to persevere, it means that the mind is firm and the will is strong.
If one were to do this kind of slow slicing oneself personally, the feeling and the fear would definitely increase several times, even dozens of times.
Many people do not find it difficult to kill someone, but killing themselves is a difficult psychological struggle.
To truly torture oneself, one must have a very cruel heart. And one must have a very strong will.
One hundred and twenty-nine thousand six hundred dollars. This is simply an impossible task.
Hiss!!
When these words reached the city wall, countless soldiers could not help but gasp. This was not a bet, this was a bet with their lives, the bloodiest and cruelest way.
"unfair."
Jia Xu took a deep breath and said decisively: "Mr. Clown, the monster army on your side has no fear at all. They are not afraid of death, and they are not even afraid of pain and injury. They don't even have emotions. On our side, we are living people with seven emotions and six desires. We can be afraid and scared. I don't think this unequal bet is fair."
From what we saw last night, it is completely certain that the monster army has no fear of death at all, and only has the desire to kill and destroy. How can such monsters be afraid of death? They are completely on an unequal level.
"Don't worry. It's not that I don't have emotions or fear. It's just that I haven't developed these emotions yet. Since we've decided to fight, I will naturally restore their emotions. Suppress their desire to kill, and they will become like normal lives. They will feel fear, terror, and pain. My bets are always fair."
The clown heard this and quickly shook his head, with a hint of confidence in his expression.
He is a clown, he likes to play tricks on everyone, but he believes in fairness. In gambling, he will not do such unfair things, because if he does, the fun he can feel will be greatly reduced. This is not good, very bad.
