God of Pets

Chapter 220 Lost
"You can absolutely trust our king's credibility. No one can control them. Of course, to ensure the fairness of the bet, you can also choose to have two practitioners compete on behalf of the Golden-Eyed Toad. The losing practitioner will be executed on the spot. For their own lives, they will also try their best to win the game, don't you agree?"

Fuji smiled and said, "Of course, the same goes for the Golden-Eyed Toads. The losers will be killed, and they will also try their best."

Everyone had strange expressions on their faces when they heard this. What they were thinking about was not who would be executed, but if they lost the bet and stayed here, would they become gambling tools instead of the golden-eyed toad, with their fate controlled by others.

While Teng was speaking, two crew members in black clothes had already arrived in front of the track.

"Would you choose a race between cultivators or a race between golden-eyed toads?" Teng looked at the man and asked.

The man hesitated for a long time before gritting his teeth and saying, "I choose the Golden-Eyed Toad Race."

Leng Zhe nodded and said, "Humans are even less reliable than secret spirits. If I were in your place, I would also choose the golden-eyed toad."

Chen Guan didn't say anything, just watched the man make his choice. He came to the front of the track and observed the two golden-eyed toads at close range with no blind spots. After hesitating for a long time, he chose the golden-eyed toad on track B.

Following Teng's command, the fence that imprisoned the two golden-eyed toads opened, and flames spewed out from below.

The two golden-eyed toads were burned by the high temperature and immediately jumped forward desperately.

When everyone saw this, they all felt that this way of gambling was fair and did not look like cheating.

Although it is a secret spirit, the Golden-Eyed Toad is indeed too slow. Even if it jumps forward desperately, its speed is still far behind that of an ordinary dog.

The two golden-eyed toads are similar in all aspects and run at the same speed. They jump one after another, sometimes A is ahead, sometimes B is ahead, and whoever jumps first is in the lead.

"He lost." Leng Zhe suddenly said.

"How do you know he lost?" Xiao Qinghua asked with some confusion.

"The length of the track is fixed, and the speeds of these two golden-eyed toads are almost the same. They can jump more than 20 centimeters at a time. According to this situation, when they reach the finish line, the golden-eyed toad that jumped first will definitely cross the finish line first." Leng Zhe explained.

"But they take turns leading. How do you know which one jumps out first?" Xiao Qinghua looked at it and still felt puzzled.

"Just estimate the length of the runway and calculate it." Leng Zhe seemed to be talking about something very simple.

Chen Guan didn't say anything because he knew that Leng Zhe hadn't said one thing. It seemed that the two golden-eyed toads rushed out from the starting point at the same time, but in fact there was some difference. Golden-eyed toad A jumped a little faster, which caused this situation.

They didn't know whether the speed of Golden-Eyed Toad A was due to its own problems or because someone was controlling it.

Leng Zhe must have had doubts as well, but like Chen Guan, he didn't see the real problem, so he didn't say it out loud.

The man stared nervously at the two golden-eyed toads moving alternately on the track. He put his hands on the railing and stared at the golden-eyed toads so intently that his eyeballs almost popped out.

When there were only a few meters left to the finish line, the man obviously discovered the problem that Leng Zhe mentioned, but his calculation ability was far inferior to Leng Zhe's, and he still couldn't figure it out. He just felt that something was wrong, and he roared desperately, hoping to motivate B Golden-Eyed Toad to jump faster.

When it was almost at the finish line, Golden-eyed Toad A jumped and was only a dozen centimeters away from the finish line. It was sure that it would be able to jump over the finish line with the next jump.

Golden-eyed toad B was still more than 20 centimeters away from the finish line. It looked like it could step on the line with one leap, but it also seemed to be just a little bit off.

"Jump over...jump over..." The veins on the man's forehead bulged. He took off his sunglasses and threw them aside, shouting at the golden-eyed toad desperately, as if he wanted to lend all his strength to the golden-eyed toad. The others also stared at the track nervously, wondering if Golden-eyed Toad B could step on the line.

B Golden-eyed Toad leaped up, its movements seemingly slowing down in the eyes of everyone, drawing an awkward arc in the air before landing on the track again.

At this moment, the man seemed to be petrified.

"What a pity, we were just a little bit short." Teng said with a smile. The golden-eyed toad B was less than a centimeter away from reaching the finish line.

Unfortunately, a slight mistake can lead to a huge error. Golden-eyed Toad A jumped across the finish line again and completely defeated the man.

The moment Golden-eyed Toad A crossed the finish line, a sharp blade popped out from under the track and directly cut Golden-eyed Toad B in half before the finish line, and blood and internal organs flowed everywhere.

The man fell to the ground like a deflated ball, his eyes full of unwillingness and despair.

Teng had the black-clad crew member carry the man away, then looked at the remaining people: "Who will continue the second bet?"

"I'll do it." Unexpectedly, as soon as Teng finished speaking, someone stood up.

"What kind of prize do you want?" Teng asked as usual.

"I want a peerless secret treasure of the Great Cave Heaven level, in the form of a sword, with no restrictions on use." The man directly stated the prize he wanted.

Everyone's expressions turned complicated after hearing this. Someone said, "This person is quite clever. Instead of asking for something he needs, he'd rather ask for something of high value. A peerless sword of the Great Cave Heaven level, or a divine artifact with no level or restrictions, is priceless. If you can really take it back, you'll become rich overnight. If you sell it, there's no need to worry about not being able to exchange it for something you want. An ordinary peerless secret treasure could probably be exchanged for countless items."

"Compared to him, the man before was so stupid."

"The Eighth King wouldn't agree to such a prize, would he?"

Chen Guan also felt that the Eighth King would not agree to this bet. It was too outrageous.

Moreover, how could it, a secret spirit from a blessed land, possess such a divine artifact from the Great Cave Heaven?
"My lord, do you allow the gambling to proceed?" Teng asked, looking at the statues of the Eight Kings again.

"Yes." The statue's answer was beyond everyone's expectations. Its eyes flashed red and it actually agreed.

Chen Guan and Leng Zhe looked at each other. They were not happy that the Eighth King could come up with such a prize. Instead, they became more worried.

There are only two possibilities for the Eighth King to agree to such a prize.

One possibility is that he cannot pay it, but the Eighth King has never broken his bet before, which means that he is confident of winning and does not need to pay the prize, so it doesn't matter if he agrees to it.

But if you want to win, you naturally need to cheat, and that’s not gambling.

Another possibility is that the Eighth King really has such a magical weapon. If that is the case, then the Eighth King's origin and ability are even more unimaginable, and it would be very difficult to defeat him.

Anyway, no matter which possibility it is, it is difficult to win.
