"Something's not right. Last night, these monsters attacked Sunset City as soon as they appeared. They were like an endless tide, endless and incessant. They didn't give us any chance to breathe. This time, they didn't attack directly like before. "
Xue Kunlun said calmly.
There was a kind of coldness about him, a coldness in his nature. This kind of personality allowed him to observe the changes of all kinds of things even more carefully, down to the smallest detail. He could see the changes on the battlefield in the shortest time possible, calmly analyze the battle situation, and make the most rational judgment.
"These monsters are not undisciplined. I'm afraid there's a leader above them."
Jia Xu guessed.
A snake can't be without a head, and an army can't be formed without a general.
Without a strong leader, it would be impossible for them to maintain such a steady state based on what they had seen yesterday. This was abnormal, and abnormal meant that there was an unforeseen event.
Something uncontrollable was happening.
The army began to approach Sunset City and stopped five thousand meters away from the city.
"Look, what's that?"
"A wooden horse, and there's a person sitting on it. No, it's not a person. It looks like a clown, wearing a strange clown mask."
"Strange. When he came over, the monster army not only didn't stop him, but also separated naturally. This is not an ordinary clown. It must be a leader of the monster army."
The soldiers on the city wall were shocked when they saw this.
They saw with their own eyes a clown riding a wooden horse step by step forward, appearing in front of the battlefield. He looked up at Sunset City with a strange look in his eyes. It was the look of someone who had seen something new, an interesting plaything. On his mask, the smile on his face became even more intense. It was a ghastly sight to behold.
"Clown, wooden horse. These monsters can be controlled. "
When Yi Tianxing saw this, his face showed a trace of seriousness.
Such a clown, riding a wooden horse, and the surrounding monster army was obviously under its control. At a glance, it could be seen that this was not a simple guy. Yesterday, it seemed that the monster army had no consciousness, and only knew how to kill and destroy. Now it seemed that this was not the case. Compared to the monster army that was rational, and could even be controlled.
The threat could be said to increase exponentially.
This completely overturned the original understanding of monsters.
"Interesting, humans, a War City occupied by humans. Good evening, human friends on the city wall. Your favorite clown is here to give you his best wishes. May the eternal night be with you all. "
The clown giggled as he performed a very gentlemanly salute towards the city wall.
"Clown, who are you? Where are you from? Are these monsters under your control? "
Yi Tianxing asked in a deep voice.
Since they could talk to each other, he didn't plan on fighting them directly. Conversely, it would be more beneficial for him to learn more about the battlefield if he could talk to an enemy. And the origin of this monster army.
"He's at the Life Diagram Realm, and he's the ruler of a dynasty. How interesting. "
The clown's eyes swept across Yi Tianxing's body, revealing a strange smile. His eyes seemed to be able to see many unusual things. What others couldn't see, he could see. With just a glance, he could tell Yi Tianxing's identity and even his cultivation level.
"My name is The Clown. I know everything you want to know. However, it's fine if you want to know, but there are conditions." The Clown said with a smile.
"What conditions?"
Hearing this, Yi Tianxing frowned slightly.
"Let's play a game. If you can win, of course, I'll answer whatever you ask, "The clown said with a smile.
"What if I lose?"
Yi Tianxing asked.
"That's simple. If you lose, you'll naturally know the consequences."
The clown didn't answer directly and instead avoided the topic.
"We can't agree." Hearing this, Jia Xu frowned slightly and said, "This clown's background is unknown, and his methods are unknown. Moreover, the conditions for winning and losing aren't clear. If we recklessly bet with him, no one knows what the consequences will be. If an accident happens, the consequences will be unimaginable."
There were too many uncertain factors. In his opinion, it wasn't worth it at all.
As long as he survived, he would find out the secret of the God and Demon Battlefield sooner or later. There was no need to bet with this clown. This clown seemed to be shrouded in a strange and mysterious aura, giving him a very bad and dangerous feeling.
He was definitely not a simple person.
"That's right, we can't agree. This guy definitely doesn't have any good intentions. He's obviously in cahoots with monsters. We definitely 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 God and Demon Battlefield, the origin of the monster army, and even the Stargate and what's behind the Stargate. As long as you can win, I can tell you all these information. And I'll tell you everything I know. "
The clown said playfully. He didn't care what trouble others would bring to him if they dissuaded him.
He didn't worry about this at all.
"How do you want to bet?"
Yi Tianxing's eyes flashed as he asked.
This was an opportunity, an opportunity to truly understand the God and Demon Battlefield. Perhaps he would have the opportunity to know in the future, but knowing now was better than knowing in the future. Imperceptibly, he would have the upper hand to a certain extent. Obtaining an advantage was not about survival alone. It was more like a competition for supremacy among tens of thousands of races. One step ahead, one step at a time. With such an opportunity, Yi Tianxing naturally didn't want to miss it easily.
Most importantly, the clown might bring information about the Stargate.
This kind of information was definitely the most precious. It might not even be obtained in the God and Demon Battlefield. This was the last straw that broke Ye Zhiqiu's heart.
"It's very simple. Both of us will set a challenge and compete. Whoever loses will have a chance to even the score. However, if they lose both rounds, they will lose completely. This kind of bet should be very fair. I wonder what you think. I believe that as the ruler of a dynasty, you wouldn't even have the guts to bet with me once, right? "
The clown said with a smile. His words contained a hint of provocation.
This kind of provocation could unconsciously affect people and lead them by his words.
"Alright, one person per round. It's very fair."
Yi Tianxing nodded, but he didn't relax at all. The fact that the clown could make such a bet meant that he had absolute confidence in his victory. It could even be said that he was conceited.
"Straightforward. Since you've agreed, let's consider it a contract. The River of Destiny is bearing witness. No one can fake it, "the clown said with a smile.
"Very well, then I'll decide the first round. This round, we'll bet 'ruthless'." Hearing that Yi Tianxing had agreed, the clown started to clap. He said as he clapped.
"Ruthless? How do we bet?"
Yi Tianxing couldn't help but frown when he heard that.
He originally thought that it was some other kind of bet, but it was clearly not a normal one.
"It's very simple. Death by a thousand cuts." The clown revealed an intense excitement and said, "You and I will each send a warrior. Death by dismemberment is one of the cruelest and most painful punishments in the world. My gambling method is to let the selected warriors cut off their own flesh piece by piece. Death by dismemberment is a total of 129,600 cuts. During this process, their five senses will be enhanced, making their bodies more sensitive. Any feeling will be magnified tenfold, or even a hundredfold. With each cut, they will have to endure unimaginable pain. Whoever can't endure it will be considered the loser. "
Ruthless. This was not just any kind of ruthless.
On the execution ground, as long as a prisoner knew that he was about to be killed by a thousand cuts, he would definitely want to commit suicide on the spot to end it. That kind of pain, that kind of fear, that kind of pain, was unimaginable. The pain brought by each cut would be doubled, and this was done by someone else. To be able to endure it meant that one had a firm mind and a strong will.
If this kind of death by a thousand cuts was done by the prisoner himself, that kind of feeling, that kind of fear, would definitely be several times, or even dozens of times greater.
Many people would not find it difficult to kill someone, but to kill oneself, it would be a difficult psychological struggle.
To truly kill oneself, how ruthless must one's heart be? Moreover, how strong must one's will be?
One hundred twenty-nine thousand six hundred cuts. This was simply an impossible task.
"Hiss!"
When these words reached the top of the city wall, countless soldiers could not help but suck in a breath of cold air. This was not a bet, this was a bet with one's life, the most bloody and cruel way.
"This isn't fair."
Jia Xu took a deep breath and said firmly, "Mr. Clown, your monster army has no fear, no fear of death, no fear of pain, no injury, and no emotions. But on our side, we have living people with emotions and desires, and fear. I don't think this kind of unfair bet is fair."
From what they saw last night, they were completely sure that the monster army did not fear death at all, only the desire to kill and destroy. Such monsters would not be afraid of death, they were on a completely different level.
"Don't worry, it's not that my side has no emotions, no fear, it's just that they haven't developed these emotions yet. Since we've decided to fight, I will naturally restore their emotions. By suppressing their desire to kill, they would become like normal beings. They would be afraid, terrified, and in pain. My bets have always been fair. "
Hearing this, Clown quickly shook his head and said. There was a hint of confidence in his expression.
