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 betting, you can also choose two cultivators to replace the golden-eyed toads in the race, and the losing cultivator will be executed on the spot. For the sake of their own lives, they will also try their utmost to win the race, don't you think?"

Teng said with a smile, "Of course, the golden-eyed toads are the same, the loser will be executed, and they will also try their utmost."

Everyone listening had strange expressions, they were not thinking about who would be executed, but whether if they lost the bet, would they also become a tool to replace the golden-eyed toads, with their fates controlled by others.

As Teng was speaking, two crew members dressed in black had already arrived at the front of the race track.

"Do you choose the speed race between cultivators, or between golden-eyed toads?" Teng asked the man.

The man hesitated for a long time before gritting his teeth, "I choose the golden-eyed toads race."

Leng Zhe nodded and said, "Humans are less reliable than Secret Spirits, I'd choose golden-eyed toads too."

Chen Guan didn't speak, he just watched the man's decision, then went to the race track, observing the two golden-eyed toads closely from all angles, he hesitated for a long time, and chose the golden-eyed toad in track B.

With Teng's command, the barrier confining the two golden-eyed toads opened, and flames spewed from below.

The two golden-eyed toads, scorched by the high temperature, immediately started jumping forward desperately.

Everyone saw this and felt that the betting method seemed fair, it didn't look like there was cheating involved.

Although they are Secret Spirits, the speed of the golden-eyed toads was indeed too slow, no matter how desperately they jumped forward, they were still far slower than average dogs.

The two golden-eyed toads were very similar in every aspect, with their speeds being almost equal, jumping one after another, sometimes A was leading, sometimes B was leading, whoever jumped first would be in the lead.

"He's going to lose." Leng Zhe suddenly spoke.

"How do you tell he's going to lose?" Little Qinghua asked confusedly.

"The length of the track is fixed, the two golden-eyed toads have almost the same speed and can jump over twenty centimeters in one leap, in such circumstances, when they reach the finish line, the golden-eyed toad that jumps first will naturally be the first to cross the finish." Leng Zhe explained.

"But they lead alternately, how do you know which one jumped first?" Little Qinghua looked still puzzled.

"Estimating the length of the track and calculating, you can figure it out." Leng Zhe said as if it was a simple matter.

Chen Guan didn't speak, because he knew Leng Zhe didn't mention one thing, it seemed like both golden-eyed toads rushed out simultaneously, but there was a slight difference, A golden-eyed toad started a bit earlier, causing the current situation.

They didn't know if A golden-eyed toad's slight lead was due to its nature or if someone was manipulating it.

Leng Zhe must also be suspecting, but just like Chen Guan, he couldn't clearly see the real issue, thus he didn't speak out.

The man stared nervously at the two golden-eyed toads alternately moving forward on the track, his hands griping the railing, his eyes almost popping out.

With a few meters left to the finish line, the man seemed to realize the problem described by Leng Zhe, but his calculation ability was far inferior to Leng Zhe's, still unclear at this point, he only had a vague bad feeling, shouting desperately, hoping to spur B golden-eyed toad to jump faster.

Nearly at the finish line, A golden-eyed toad jumped, with about ten centimeters left to the finish line, the next jump would assuredly cross it.

And B golden-eyed toad had over twenty centimeters to go, looking like it might step on the line in one leap, or it might fall just short.

"Jump over...jump over..." The man's forehead veins bulged, he threw his sunglasses to the side, shouting at the golden-eyed toad as if trying to lend all his strength to it.

Others also watched the track intently, wanting to see if B golden-eyed toad could step on the line.

B golden-eyed toad jumped, its movement seemingly slowed in the crowd's eyes, tracing a clumsy arc through the air, landing again on the track.

At that moment, the man seemed to have turned to stone.

"What a pity, just missed by a tiny bit." Teng said with a smile, B golden-eyed toad's jump missed stepping on the finish line by less than a centimeter.

A difference of mere millimeters led to a huge loss, as A golden-eyed toad jumped again crossing the finish line, completely crushing the man.

As A golden-eyed toad crossed the finish line, a blade shot up from below the track, slicing B golden-eyed toad into two, blood and innards spilling everywhere.

The man fell to the ground like a deflated balloon, his eyes filled with unwillingness and despair.

Teng let the black-clad crew member carry the man away, then looked at the remaining people: "Who wants to continue the second round?"

"I will." unexpectedly, someone stepped forward just as Teng finished speaking.

"What prize do you want?" Teng asked routinely.

"I want an unrivaled secret treasure of the Great Cave Heaven level, sword-shaped, with no use restrictions." the man stated directly what he wanted.

The listeners' expressions turned complex, someone said: "This guy is smart, instead of asking for something he needs, he asks for something of high value. An unrestricted Supreme Treasure Sword of Great Cave Heaven level, such a secret treasure is worth a fortune, bring it back and one can instantly become wealthy, if sold, it would easily buy whatever one desires. Ordinarily, a First Awakening Unparalleled Secret Treasure couldn't trade for such things."

"Compared to him, the previous guy was really foolish."

"With such a prize demand, the Eight Kings won't agree, right?"

Even Chen Guan thought, the Eight Kings wouldn't agree to such a prize, it's too ridiculous.

Moreover, as a Secret Spirit from a Blessed Land, how could it possess such a Great Cave Heaven Divine Artifact?

"King, do you allow the bet to proceed?" Teng again looked at the Eight Kings' statue.

"Yes." To everyone's surprise, the statue's response was affirmative, its eyes flashing red lights in agreement.

Chen Guan and Leng Zhe exchanged a glance. They did not feel joy due to the Eight Kings offering such a prize, rather they felt worried.

With the Eight Kings agreeing to such a prize, there were only two possibilities.

One was that it couldn't deliver, but since the Eight Kings had never broken a bet's promise, it implied supreme confidence in winning thus it needn't worry about paying out the prize, agreeing seemed irrelevant.

However, to guarantee a win, cheating would be expected, and that isn't betting.

The second possibility was that the Eight Kings genuinely possessed such a Divine Artifact, if so, the Eight Kings' origin and capabilities would be unimaginably vast, defeating it would be incredibly challenging.

In any case, regardless of the possibility, winning would be exceedingly difficult.
