This group of young slave owners' way of betting was relatively unconventional. The loser's bet could no longer be recovered, while the winner would recover their own bet and then recover the "spoils of war", which was the loser's bet.
However, it was not the kind of spoils they wanted that could be obtained smoothly.
When Shao Xuan followed Su Gu, he saw that in the place where the previous bet was placed, there were several rows of wooden boxes of the same size. These boxes contained the things that the people who lost the bet bet on. The people who won the bet, according to the value of the bet, would then choose from the order of the auction.
As for what kind of things they could choose, it was not something they could predict. There were many young slave owners who put some alternative things in their bets.
They did not seek wealth. What they pursued was just excitement and fun.
"I don't know what kind of thing I can choose later. I hope it's more valuable." Su Gu said. He looked at the ranking of his bet. He was ranked seventeenth, not behind.
After recovering his bet, Su Gu stared at the choices of the people in front of him. Although they were not so persistent in their pursuit of wealth, they could choose a more valuable item and be in the limelight, which would be cool.
As Su Gu, who had been away from Beast City for so many years, had no fame in the circle of the younger generation of slave owners. He was not a person from the three major cities, so his sense of existence was even lower. If he could pick a good one, he might be able to brush up his sense of existence.
The young slave owner of Rock Tomb City, Yan Hui, who had just won the beast battle, was sitting next to him, smiling as he looked at the people who came to pick the spoils of war. He was probably in a good mood after winning a game. If the value of the things in the box chosen by the people in front of him was not high, he would comfort them with a few words.
The loser of the beast battle, the young slave owner of Fire Hill City, Di Sheng, was sitting on the other side with a cold face, looking unapproachable.
These boxes were personally placed by the two, and the others did not know what was in each box.
Shao Xuan also saw a little slave owner in his early teens pick another box. When he opened it, he could see what was inside. It looked like sand, but in fact, it was the egg of a shrimp that lived in the desert around Red Star City.
That kind of prawn had a very short lifespan. They would only hatch and grow when there was plenty of rain. When there was less rain and the spring dried up, they would lay eggs and die, leaving behind some prawn eggs that looked similar to sand.
Those shrimp eggs were the wager of a slave owner of Red Star City. If other people had chosen such a trophy, they might not have been happy. But now, the one who picked it was a child in his early teens. He was very satisfied with this kind of food trophy.
Yan Hui and the child exchanged a few words. The child, who was holding a box of shrimp eggs, was so excited that his face turned red. It was probably his first time here, and it was also his first time coming into contact with people from the three big cities.
Su Gu did not pay much attention to that side. He was a little nervous.
"Shao Xuan, what do you think I will pick?" Su Gu asked.
"How would I know? What do you want?" Shao Xuan asked.
"Of course, it's the best!" Su Gu was even more excited and nervous.
Shao Xuan looked and said, "I don't know what is the best."
"If you were to choose, which one would you pick?" Su Gu asked.
"The third in the first row." Shao Xuan answered.
Su Gu looked at the boxes placed over there. The people who picked in front chose the second row more, while the first row, which was closer to them, was chosen less. Perhaps everyone subconsciously felt that it was better to have something further away.
"Why?" Su Gu asked.
"Intuition." Although he said so, in fact, Shao Xuan looked at it with a special vision. He could not see what was inside the box, but he could see that the box emitted the brightest light.
Shao Xuan did not explain much, and Su Gu did not have time to ask again. The other side had already called his name.
"Luoye City's Su Gu!"
"Hey, you're here!" Su Gu walked a few steps over.
For Su Gu's unfamiliar face, many of the slave owners around did not care. Moreover, Luoye City was not a powerful city in this vast desert. However, the deeds of this Luoye City king were known by many people, and it was a topic of idle chat after dinner. As for the other people in Luoye City, no one cared.
Su Gu walked over in the crowd's eyes. He seemed to be nearby, pointing to the third wooden box in the first row, which was what Shao Xuan had just told him.
Sitting on the side, Yan Hui of Rock Tomb City straightened up. Di Sheng of Fire Hill City, who was originally cold, had a slightly better expression now. For him, being chosen by the people of Luoye City was better than being chosen by other people of Rock Hill City or other people who were not pleasing to the eye.
Seeing Di Sheng get up and personally open the box, Su Gu's heart jumped. He had a guess in his heart, could it be …
The other people around also thought of it. Their voices were a lot smaller as they stared over there.
That's right. What was in that box was the bet that Di Sheng put on himself.
Di Sheng opened the box, and the crowd only saw a red light flashing in front of their eyes.
Inside the box, there was a fist-sized red translucent gem. As Di Sheng picked up the gem, the red light was even brighter. Moreover, the people around also felt a wave of heat sweeping through.
"This is the famous fire hill stone of Fire Hill City?!" Someone exclaimed.
The fire hill stone was produced in the desert around Fire Hill City. The stone was transparent and attracted a lot of people. At the same time, if you injected power into it, the stone would heat up. The more energy injected, the higher the temperature of the stone. It could even easily burn firewood.
In Fire Hill City, the fire hill stone was a symbol of power, beautiful and noble. People in other cities who wanted to buy the fire hill stone may not be successful. Unexpectedly, a small slave owner of Luoye City could easily get such a big piece!
Shao Xuan looked at Su Gu, who was being talked about by the crowd, and thought, That guy is probably going crazy with joy.
How big was the practical value of that gem? For the Yanjiao people, it was just like that. If it was bigger, it could be used as a weapon, but it was only the size of a fist. It could only be used as an ornament. Perhaps it could be used to warm up in the winter and light a fire when there was no fire?
However, what Su Gu valued was its symbolic meaning, as well as the influence of this stone among the slave owners.
From this moment on, the name of Luoye City's Su Gu had been remembered by more people. They would definitely mention it when chatting.
When Su Gu came back, he smiled particularly proudly. Some people wanted to fight with Su Gu. Unfortunately, Su Gu tightly guarded the stone, saying that even if they fought, he would not take out the gem. The other party then left.
The beast's corpse in the pit had been removed, leaving only a bloody ground.
Soon, the second beast fight was about to begin.
This time, there were no giant beasts, but two slaves. For this group of slave owners, there was not much difference between slaves and beasts. Even slaves were not as good as beasts. When the giant beasts were on the stage, they were more attractive, while the slaves were inferior.
The people standing around the pit dispersed a little. They planned to go to the other pit to see, but Su Gu did not leave. He intended to continue to watch the next one.
In the field, the two slaves' seemingly irregular moves intersected with the shadows of their fists. Then, a rapid sound of fracture sounded.
One of the slaves was hit and flew. His body rolled in the air and hit the stone wall in the pit. After the collision, a lot of blood spurted out from his mouth.
Shao Xuan could see that the slave's chest had several broken bones. Moreover, these broken bones pierced his internal organs, hurting his heart and lungs.
Sure enough, the slave who fell to the ground had his head askew and died directly.
The reason for this beast fight was because of an ownerless female slave. The winner would own the slave.
The winning slave owner was very happy and directly used the power of enslavement on the spot to enslave the person.
This was the second time Shao Xuan encountered a slave owner enslaving a slave other than Su Gu. Moreover, this time, it was not a practice.
The young slave owner who was enslaving was a little nervous. Although it was not his first time enslaving, there were always failures. Now, it was still under the watchful eyes of the public. If he failed, he would certainly be laughed at by other cities. The pressure was quite great. However, this time, his enslavement was unusually smooth. Looking at the slave who was successfully enslaved and looking at him with charming eyes, he only felt a burst of heat and quite complacent. He felt that today was really an extraordinary day.
Observing the fluctuations of the flame in his mind, Shao Xuan moved his fingers. Because of the long and wide sleeves, no one could see that there was a little blue flame on his hand in the sleeve.
