interstellar tomb raider

Chapter 239 Bone Beak
Tianyuanxing’s most famous animal market arena is very magnificent. The structural system is composed of stone skeletons and flying buttresses, forming a semi-open-air vault. The entire arena looks simple, but it highlights superb architectural skills.It is said that the stone materials of Tianyuanxing are not suitable for the construction of such a building covering an area of ​​[-] square meters. Many building materials are taken from space meteorites or transported from outer galaxies, and the VIP room inside is even more luxurious to the extreme.

Some aristocrats from the Federation of Light and small countries came to the animal market tens of thousands of light years away and had to "luxury" once before returning to their hearts content. Even in some galaxies, this has become a fashion among the aristocracy. There is indeed an element of risk in entering Tianyuan Planet. It is actually just a gimmick to make those incompetent nobles flock to them. There is no danger in buying powerful warships, but it is still a very face-saving thing for those who like to brag about nobles.

The supporting facilities around the arena are all Gothic buildings, very tall and elegant, as if full of vigorous desire, which makes the nobles want to stop,
There are not many war beast resources in the interstellar market, and the transaction price on the beast market is fairly fair. More adventurous merchants come here. If you buy a war beast that is of good quality and can even evolve on its own, that would be great. , at least a lifetime of food and clothing.

The appearance of the arena looks like a huge bunker, which can accommodate 60 spectators.Layers of grandstands and VIP rooms form an arc towards the sky, and being in it is like walking into a huge honeycomb.

The sun is shining brightly and the breeze is blowing low. This is a rare good weather in Tianyuanxing. Guanghu came in with super cool alloy electronic glasses with the flow of people. War beasts, for some war beasts that are eliminated first, the data analysis will be displayed on the big screen, and there will also be initial quotations. Many adventurous merchants are raising placards to bid, but the real rich will not fancy these goods. The battle beast they are competing for is what they want.

According to the evaluation of professionals, 120 and eight relatively powerful wild beasts will be selected from the candidate herd to compete in the promotion style. There are seven rounds in total. The final winner does not participate in the bidding, and will be compulsorily purchased by the Wanshou Palace, which is somewhat unfair, but those who want to make a fortune here don't care, and the Wanshou Palace will be the banker outside the arena. The mouth is to buy one and lose two. If you are really confident in your own beasts, you can make mortgage bets. The information about those beasts participating in the competition is very little. If you advance seven times, you can win 120 times as long as you win consecutively. Profit, some people think that the odds of Wanshougong are set up for the final winner, so some private small handicap came into being, one pays five, one pays ten, or even higher odds, how much People get rich overnight, and how many people go bankrupt. For hundreds of years, it has been continuously performed around the animal market. The opening of the market every two months has earned huge profits for the Palace of Beasts. No wonder the four major families have fought Phoenix 300 years ago. The idea of ​​the galaxy is gone.

A trace of white clouds floated in the sky. The place where Beast Palace accepts bets is not far from the arena. It uses a semi-open-air counter for business. Suddenly, a blue gold card flew over and was inserted directly into the alloy table. There was a trill.

"By the highest amount of 100 blue-gold points to buy Bio War Beast wins." The voice buzzed, and the blue-gold card trembled again.

Under the sun, the big man came across the counter, as if bringing a shadow. He was wearing a pair of high-end alloy electronic glasses, and his face was cold. It's easy to mess with, and everyone doesn't want to ask for trouble.However, such a large bet is rare, unless it is a "headhunter" who is very confident in his own beast. Bio's name spread like wildfire, some secretly watched, and some seemed to see the light of money.

"What's wrong? Is it not accepted?"

The receptionist froze for a moment and said quickly, "Sir, you damaged our business counter and need compensation."

Fate scratched his head in embarrassment, just now he was thinking of being cool, and grinned, "I'm sorry, I will pay for the loss, and I bet another 100 million."

For the "Wood 24" organization, it can be said to be rich and powerful. The rules of the Palace of Beasts are very detailed. Some chaebols have little hope of making huge profits from it. A single bet can be up to 100 million blue gold points, which is already a sky-high price. The Beast of War is capped at 150 million blue gold points, which means that other retail investors will not be able to exceed this limit price if they want to follow up.

After quickly reading and scanning the card, the reception lady handed the receipt and blue gold card to the big man.

"Thank you." The big man said goodbye politely and walked out. He was still busy looking for opportunities in those private markets. The giant shrimp that the boss personally caught would definitely win. The sun once again shone on the semi-outdoor counter.

Fat Dragon and Black Star glanced at Fate from a distance, and summoned a small hovering airship. This thing can be sent directly to the seats in the stands, but there is a fee to be paid, and they boarded it while whispering.

Since being taught by Mu Fanli and Yi Shuihan, the mood of the two has greatly improved, and they have become more mature and stable, especially their abilities have improved rapidly, and they have become outstanding among their peers.

Black Star communicated with mental ripples: "Septic Blood follows Bio, Guanghu sits in the east stand, Fat places a bet, and the smart robots are going to monitor the movement of the beast area. The two of us are waiting for an opportunity to approach the main stand to release micro robots. We must Find the person in charge of the Wanshou Palace here, and follow up and monitor after the beast market."

Fat Dragon nodded, and glanced around with ease. After all, the "Carrier Pigeon" was still far away from the crowd, so the spread of the micro-robots in the crowd was extremely limited, so I had to ask the two of them to take a trip. No contact with other people.

Yi Shuihan didn't come to the scene in person, but was watching the information around the arena with Xiao Liu in the pyramid. Xiao Liu began to distinguish and restore from the noisy human voices, hoping to find the person in charge of the Wanshou Palace in the animal market, but unfortunately there was no progress.Invisibly cast a veil of mystery for the Palace of Beasts.

"Our people are already in place. Fat Dragon and Black Star brought fifty cheap-looking mechanical beetles to release. The beetles will spread the miniature robots to the crowd and even the main stand. After testing, it was found that some VIP rooms are fully enclosed. Floor-to-ceiling adamantine glass as a barrier,

The people inside can see the outside, but they can't see through the outside, so it's hard to monitor. If the people inside are not weak, even martial monks may not be able to detect subtle movements with their senses. I have placed the main detection target on VIPs. room. "

Yi Shuihan was very satisfied, and said to Xiao Liu: "Take your time, the giant shrimp's body has been implanted with micro-robots, don't be in a hurry, the animal market has just started, let's pay attention to the competition first, as for Bio If you want to join our organization and find out his details, this person's cultivation is pretty good."

In the first round of 64 competitions, due to the limitation of the venue, they could not be played at the same time. When it was the turn of the giant shrimp, the big guy swung his forelegs, and the opponent was swung down, which made Bio's worth skyrocket.

Because some high-level martial arts practitioners can sense and judge the strength of life breath, most markets no longer accept continuation betting, and they can withdraw their funds midway. If they do not get back the winning funds before the next round of competition, the next round of betting will automatically take effect .

The blood-stained old man is not far from Biot. They are both at the end of the west stand. This place should even be called a corner. There is a man and a woman standing quietly in front of Biot. A clerical worker, such a dress can be regarded as an alternative in this arena. This person has a half-hearted look on his brows, and he looks at Bio for a long time without showing any weakness, and there is a faint smile of a winner on the corner of his mouth. .

A man in a suit is holding his arm in the arms of a woman beside him. The woman is very young, eighteen or nineteen years old, with a weak body, but a good look at her body, she has a certain charm, with a beauty mole on the corner of her mouth, delicate eyebrows, and red lips Lightly opened, as if to say something, but in the end there was no sound.

The blood-stained old man took a sip of his wine and didn't let out his sensory power. He just listened to the sound with his ears open, but all martial monks have good hearing. He didn't expect that there were many experts hidden in this corner. The man in the suit is a master himself and Bio should Between the brothers and sisters, there were four other martial monks of the sixth and seventh ranks hidden in the surrounding stands, releasing their sensory force to monitor and guard against Bio's attack at any time.

The man in the suit smiled lightly: "Bio, I'm almost moved by your persistence. The war beast I found this time seems to be very interesting."

Bio stood proudly leaning on his sword, and said in a cold voice, "If you are defeated, return my little sister to me."

The man in the suit laughed loudly: "I have never been defeated before. I believe I will not lose this time. In my dictionary, Nan Jianchen, there is only victory." After speaking, his lips rubbed against the face of the woman beside him, Seeing that Bio's pupils constricted, he could hardly control the sword flying out of his hand.

The woman finally spoke up: "Brother, I know how hard it is for you to raise me up. In order to treat my terminal genetic disease, you almost gave up your family property, and you went deeper into danger and risked your life to collect ten thousand green and red poisonous weeds to continue my life. I've seen enough of all of this, even if Nan Jianchen doesn't really like me, it's fine if he can take my burden away from you, my sister doesn't want to drag you down forever."

"Xiaoshuang, are you really willing to spend so much for you as a boy surnamed Nan? He just wants to extract the mutant gene from your blood for research. I once swore to give you happiness. I have survived all these years of wind and rain, Give brother one last chance, okay? This time I bet with Nan Jianchen on the Seven Star Sword and the Star Rain Shoes, as long as I win, I can get his king of five ten thousand green and red poisonous weeds."

The woman covered her mouth in surprise, her eyes widened and she said, "Brother, what are you talking about? You want to bet with him on the family heirloom? No, absolutely not, it's your lifeblood..."

"Pfft", before she finished speaking, Xiaoshuang fell limply into Nan Jianchen's arms.

"Nan Jianchen, what are you doing?" Bio excitedly drew out his sword and was about to attack, but seeing the opponent's fingernails lightly scratching his sister's skin, his eyes were surprised and he quickly stopped the move.

"Beast, don't hurt Xiaoshuang."

Nan Jianchen looked at Yiren in his arms, took out a cigar and lit it slowly: "Bio, you love her very much, don't you? I have investigated that Wushuang is not your real sister. Don't ask me how I know, I put her It’s also for your own good to get dizzy.” He smugly spit out a smoke ring and laughed loudly: “Things seem to be getting more and more interesting, don’t always be sullen, okay, I think it’s not easy for me, a ninth-level pharmacy master, to treat your sister? The girl is indeed so lovable, I almost fell in love."

Bio's face was as ugly as it was ugly, and he said in a low voice: "Nan Jianchen, does what you say count? If my war beast wins, give me Wanqinghong poisonous weed king and let her go back to me, okay?" ?”

Nan Jianchen shrugged helplessly and said: "You have to win, but the hope is slim. It would be better to eat the shrimp with salt and pepper." Afterwards, there was another burst of unrestrained laughter. Shuang walked towards the VIP room.

Not long after, Seng Xue reported everything he had heard to Yi Shuihan, and Xiao Liu hurriedly found out Nan Jianchen's war beast information. The strange thing was that this pretentious ninth-level pharmacist only had a ribbon worm to compete with, although the first The round results are good, but the opponent's strength is too poor, and there is nothing special about it for the time being.

The micro-robots sprinkled by Fat Dragon and Black Star are running around, and the energy to maintain them is not long-lasting. At most, five days on Tianyuan Star will be exhausted. There are two VIP rooms that they cannot enter because they are blocked by an invisible force field. When they came back, Nan Jianchen entered the room.

Yi Shuihan sat on the hanging chair and thought slowly, with Zixu pleading beside him, "Boss, do you think it's time for a grasshopper to snap off this ribbon worm, instead of being arrogant by that kid in a suit?" .”

"You don't need to do anything, just go and wipe Jiuyu's body or chat with Carrot, my little laborer."

Zixu said resolutely: "Boss, I am now in excellent physical condition, and I am not afraid of most toxins, why don't you tell me to rush into the VIP room and rescue that Bio's sister."

"Zixu, creators, pharmacists, alchemists, and wise men are almost all variants of martial monks. They have their own uniqueness in different fields. I am afraid that the nine-level attainment is not low. There will be a lot of opportunities waiting for you to fight hard in the future. Don't back down when the time comes." Yi Shuihan treats the grasshopper as a younger brother, and doesn't treat it differently because of racial differences, and even loves it very much.

"Look, the second round of competition has begun." Zixu's vigorous energy was attracted to him again. The first one to appear was Bio's giant shrimp, and his opponent was a chatterback beast. The armored beast is bigger than the giant shrimp.

The giant prawn waved its forelimbs, retreated gradually, and then jumped up violently, slamming the pointed head of the chatterback beast. The thunderous blow showed that this life in the sea can also dominate on land.

The chatterback armored beast is very intelligent, and it rushes forward despite being injured, hoping to cause interference to the opponent. Unfortunately, the giant shrimp is not such a simple creature, and its life level is several times stronger than that of the opponent. It seemed that Yi Shuihan took it easily at the time, but in the eyes of the chatterback armored beast, it was tantamount to a disaster, and it pierced through the head with a "poof".

The chattering armored beast's momentum continued unabated, and it staggered forward a hundred meters, its neck tilted to death, and the audience erupted.

Generally speaking, unless the level difference is too great, it is impossible to be killed right after entering the battle. For the sake of profit, the two sides usually avoid fighting to the death. It can be said that there has been no such bloody scene for a long time. The last point would be fatal, not to mention the consequences of directly penetrating the skull. The giant shrimp waved its forelimbs to demonstrate. It just digested a drop of ternary mother liquid given by Yi Shuihan, and felt that its strength expanded and it became more intelligent. Beasts are very different.

Bio was very happy. On the other hand, Nan Jianchen's 30-meter-long ribbon worm was not so outstanding. It took 10 minutes to finish the opponent.At the same time, doubts also appeared in his heart, why is Nan Jianchen so confident?Did you feed the worms potions?Unless the potion is also a strange thing like the Holy Liquid of the Palace of Ten Thousand Beasts, it will definitely be discovered by the beast experts after the competition, and the more you think about it, the more strange it becomes.

As expected of Yi Shuihan's subdued top-level war beast, it is indeed invincible. In terms of light screen data evaluation, both attack power and defense power have increased rapidly, which is much stronger than the original estimate.

Guanghu's intelligent robots monitored the animal area and found nothing abnormal. Even those professional appraisers worked in obscurity and didn't even say a word, which is very strange.These robots have been doped with mirror gold since their bodies, and their mimicry ability has become more and more sophisticated. They can often be flattened on the surface of the building to create another layer of walls. Each war beast has its own "room". Even if the owner enters, it needs to be checked. Most of the surveillance systems are useless to the "Mu 24" robots. They obey orders, and Yi Shuihan has already laid a net. In such a big animal market, there must be a high-level executive from Wanshou Palace to preside over the overall situation, and they can quietly track the latest Well, if it's really impossible, it won't be too difficult to kidnap three or five people.

The competition has been going on, the giant shrimp is unstoppable and unstoppable, it is really a bit of a rampant posture, Fate started counting the money earned on his fingers, this time, maybe some private handicap will collapse, conservatively estimated that there will be three [-] million, plus the boss has [-] to [-] million in hand, at least he can buy a remote asteroid, but the environment should not be very good.Of course, these funds are not comparable to those big chaebols. The former chief financial officer of the Angel Empire invested [-] billion in his son-in-law Terry within two years. Many people on poor planets are working hard because of a blue gold point. The gap between rich and poor There are light-years away, and it is impossible to comment.

The strange thing is that Nan Jianchen's ribbon worm also fought all the way to the end, becoming a beast in the general competition and confronting the giant shrimp. It has to be said that it is a bit evil.

Just in case, before the final round of competition, Biot chose the opportunity to feed the giant shrimp with a drop of ternary mother liquid, and the intelligent robot truthfully reported it to Yi Shuihan.

The last round of the competition was very grand. The two war beasts gathered in the center of the arena, and the crowd was excited. In order to prevent the battle from spreading to the stands, the starship energy defense shield was used, and one shield has many layers, and the energy is full. Absolutely not There will be problems.

The stone slab between the two beasts slowly fell, and it was finally time for a face-to-face confrontation. Apart from anything else, the giant shrimp launched an attack, swung its forelegs, and the ribbon worm was knocked out softly like a rag, and fell into the dust with a loud crash.

The audience was silent, terribly quiet, followed by boos one after another. I have never seen such a poor finalist beast. Seeing that the giant shrimp is still alive and kicking, is it possible that the final winner is Bio?

Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, Nan Jianchen was also a little surprised. The condition of the giant shrimp was so good that it was too good to be true.

Just when the referee decided to terminate the competition, the ribbon worm suddenly squirmed violently, and a cry shocked the audience. Those war beasts in the zoo were already incontinent, and buried their heads under their bodies in fright.

A soaring aura attracted the attention of many martial monks. Someone pointed to the arena in surprise and shouted: "Then, isn't that the death bone-beaked beast?"
