Although the lottery is just a formality.

but,

This step is essential for betting on boxing matches.

The host began to announce the results of the draw.

On the large LCD screen above the caged beast arena, the draw results for tonight's caged beast battle were displayed.

Simultaneously,

The lottery results and odds appeared simultaneously on the betting interface of the dark web.

Chen Jie looked up and glanced around, a half-smile playing on his lips.

Gray wolf!

The organizers seem to think highly of me, as they've managed to draw the Grey Wolf again.

To be honest, although Chen Jie had been informed in advance that he would be challenging the lion pride tonight in this desperate battle,

However, he was not informed in advance what kind of beast he would draw.

Therefore,
Seeing that he had drawn the Grey Wolf again, Chen Jie couldn't help but laugh.

The gray wolf, whose body had been injected with the drug, was definitely not weak in combat.

This particular gray wolf, in particular, is clearly a wolf king and possesses formidable fighting power.

Unfortunately, no matter how fierce it is, it will only be a delicious snack in front of a lion.

What's more, the opponent is a pride of lions.

Marcus Joel was initially hesitant to fight, as he didn't want to face Chen Jie.

However, when he learned of the draw, he would be working with the pride of lions to deal with the Asian Grim Reaper.

He quickly agreed to join the war.

In terms of individual combat strength, the lion is not stronger than the Siberian tiger.

Compared to hippos, elephants, and rhinos, lions would be at a disadvantage.

However, the fighting power of the lion pride increased exponentially.

The top dog on the African savanna relies on its teamwork.

Large, lone wild animals will avoid lion prides when they see them.

A pride of 18 lions like this can hunt any wild animal when hungry on the African savanna.

They are the true rulers of the African savanna, possessing exceptional teamwork capabilities.

in fact,

Chen Jie could have refused the organizer's change to the competition format.

Because according to the rules of the "Battle of the Trapped Beasts" competition, the result of the draw in each "Battle of the Trapped Beasts" is an individual beast.

But now the competition format has suddenly changed, allowing Chen Jie to challenge the lion pride.

If the organizers hadn't discussed it with Chen Jie beforehand, I believe no one would have been willing to compete.

Chen Jie looked around at the passionate boxing fans in the audience and a smile appeared on his face.

"The Global Fighting League really went to great lengths to take me down."

"We're going to make a fortune tonight!"

Yu Chang'an engaged in off-the-ground gambling, placing bets exceeding 10 billion US dollars.

Tonight's 'battle of the cornered beast' can continue to bleed the five major North American conglomerates dry.

Since Chen Jie made it to the final round of the global underground boxing 'battle of the trapped beasts'.

Several of the world's largest conglomerates have lost a lot of money because of Chen Jie.

Perhaps in an attempt to turn the tide, the Global Underground Boxing Federation specifically sought out Chen Jie and asked him to challenge the Lions.

Tonight's 'cage battle' will not be easy for Chen Jie to take down the lion pride.

If a pride of lions were to face adult African male elephants and armored rhinoceroses, they might not be able to break through their defenses.

but,

When facing humans, a pride of lions is several times more dangerous than an African bull elephant.

Because lions' agility, strength, speed, and so on can easily overwhelm humans.

Moreover, this is not a solo operation, but a team operation.

Humans simply cannot withstand the sharp claws and teeth of a lion.

not to mention,
The lions were injected with drugs before stepping into the ring.

Once they unleash their power, the pride will quickly descend into a frenzy, their fighting strength multiplying.

If eighteen lions were to attack, both the African buffalo and the giraffe would be torn to shreds in an instant.

Even if an African male elephant is alone, one should avoid confronting it.

Putting a pride of lions into a fighting formation inside the iron cage of the underground boxing ring at Caesars Palace is an extremely dangerous thing to do.

Therefore, the area of ​​the cage was increased several times, and protective netting and thicker explosion-proof glass were added around it.

Once the pride is freed, under the influence of the drugs, it can easily tear apart the audience.

to be frank,
Chen Jie dared to accept the challenge of the lion pack because he wanted to see how much his combat power had improved after absorbing Yokoyama Sora's internal energy and breaking through to the mid-stage of the Blood-Moving Pill Force.

in addition,

He also wanted to test his spiritual power at the mid-stage of the Mind Refinement realm to see if he could intimidate the lion pride.

Lions are exceptionally agile and fast, placing them at the top of the food chain.

The teamwork ability of a lion pride is unparalleled.

When Chen Jie reached the peak of his martial arts prowess, he was able to kill an African elephant with a powerful punch.

Therefore,
In terms of the explosive power of his punches, his punches have super penetrating power and shock force, capable of easily killing a lion.

However, facing the siege of eighteen lions at the same time will be a severe test for Lingjue, who is at the mid-stage of the Xinzhai realm of spiritual refinement.

Asian Grim Reaper vs. 'Thug' Marcus Joe: Betting Odds

Loss -1.67, Win -2.33;

That is to say, a bet of ten million US dollars.

If you bet on Chen Jie to lose, and Chen Jie ultimately loses, you can profit 1000 * 1.67 - 1000 = 670 million US dollars.

If you bet on Chen Jie to win, and Chen Jie does win, you can profit 1000 * 2.33 - 1000 = 1330 million US dollars.

If you choose the wrong bet, you will lose all your capital.

This is a life-or-death struggle; there are no draws!

A 'battle of cornered beasts' does not recognize a draw; if both sides are severely injured and die in the end, it means that the battle is over.

Then the betting odds will be voided, and all bets will be returned to their original payment method to prevent fraud!
Judging from the odds of this desperate battle, it's clear that 'Thug' Marcus Joe has a better chance of winning.

It is clear,
Because Chen Jie was challenging a pride of lions, the organizers behind the Global Boxing and Betting Federation did not believe that Chen Jie could successfully challenge the pride of lions.

Because these lion prides were not only injected with drugs, but were also carefully selected.

Each lion is selected and possesses exceptional fighting ability.

However, to the organizers' surprise, many boxing fans at the scene and viewers watching the live stream on the dark web had great confidence in Chen Jie.

"The Asian Grim Reaper will definitely win; he will successfully challenge the pride of lions!"

"He can kill armored rhinoceroses and African bull elephants, so a pride of lions certainly can't shake him."

After the betting odds are announced.

The ten-minute betting countdown started quickly.

Wow——!
next moment,
The atmosphere in the underground boxing ring at Caesars Palace Casino Hotel was absolutely electric.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let us welcome our two strongest fighters from the global underground boxing scene to the ring with the warmest applause."

"The semi-finals are about to begin. Can the Asian Grim Reaper create glory once again?"

"In the last quarter-final match, the Asian Death God created a miracle. He actually killed an African bull elephant with his bare hands, which was unbelievable."

"He is no longer the 'Grim Reaper' of Asia, but the 'Grim Reaper' of the global underground boxing world!"

"In tonight's life-or-death battle, we all hope that he can create another miracle and successfully challenge the pride of lions!"

"Shout, scream—!"

The host's passionate voice echoed throughout the surrounding area.

Wow——!
Next,
All the audience members spontaneously stood up.

The enthusiasm shown when placing bets revealed that many spectators were confident in Chen Jie's challenge against the lion pride.

Therefore,
Besides major European and American financial groups betting on Chen Jie to lose, the vast majority of boxing fans at the scene bet that Chen Jie would succeed in his challenge. The ten-minute betting countdown was nearing its end.

Throughout the underground boxing ring, thunderous applause and constant screams and shouts filled the air.

next moment,
All eyes were fixed on the iron cage next to the caged arena.

There were ten large iron cages in total.

Nine of the iron cages contained two African lions, and another cage contained a gray wolf.

The atmosphere on the dark web was completely ignited, with all the viewers watching the screen intently, anticipating the bloody battle to come.

Thump thump—thump thump—!
The war drums sounded, and the music began.

Click!

At this moment, all the iron cages connected with the entrance to the giant 'cage arena'.

After the two boxers entered the ring, they began to stand on the grille, just like before, and slowly rose up.

Although Chen Jie will be challenging the lion pride in tonight's 'Battle of the Trapped Beasts', the program remains unchanged.

The gray wolves will first face off against the lion pride.

Om-!
Chen Jie's mind was clear as he looked up at the underground boxing arena hall of the Caesars Palace casino hotel.

at this time,

His mind became clear, and his spiritual perception, at the mid-stage of the 'Heart Fasting' realm, was able to cover the entire hotel, even including everything in the surrounding parking lot.

To know,
His current sixth sense of crisis can cover a range of up to 3000 meters.
Compared to the early stages of 'Xin Zhai', his spiritual perception ability has doubled.

The eighteen lions in the pride manifested clearly in his spiritual perception at that moment.

The teamwork capabilities of a lion pride are completely different from those of an individual lion.

At this point, the medication injected into all the lions had not yet begun to take effect.

They are hungry, irritable, and easily angered.

Under the influence of the drug, the lion's heart began to beat faster.

After a few minutes.

The betting countdown has ended.

Click!

The canvas of the ten iron cages was lifted, and the iron gates were opened.

Eighteen lions emerged from the iron cage and entered the caged arena.

Chen Jie's intuition instantly locked onto the two most powerful male lions.

It must be said that the lion king is much larger than the other lionesses, and its fighting ability is also much stronger.

but,

For a pride of lions, what is truly terrifying is not the individual fighting ability of the male lions, but the pride's ability to coordinate and hunt as a team.

They have a clear division of labor and are highly organized.

Chen Jie did not feel any imposing aura from the pride of lions in front of him.

Although the pride of lions is large and highly aggressive.

but,

They are also very cautious, with a keen sixth sense for danger.

When the pride sensed the danger emanating from Chen Jie, they neither roared nor became angry.

at this time,

The two male lions walked around the grid in the middle of the caged arena, seemingly assessing the danger Chen Jie posed.

They acted as if they didn't pay any attention to Chen Jie, and simply strolled around casually.

However, Chen Jie clearly sensed that the two lions seemed to be testing him.

Lion prides have a very strong sense of territory.

They walked around the area, essentially marking out the pride's territory within the caged arena.

"Ouch——!"

Perhaps it's because gray wolves are small that the drug takes effect more quickly.

Therefore,
After the gray wolf came out of the iron cage, it kept howling, as if it were going crazy.

Facing the pride of lions, it showed no tension or fear, but instead continued to provoke them, seemingly intending to challenge them.

Ding!
The bell rang.

The grid in the middle of the 'cage arena' quickly rose.

The potion was extremely potent, and the gray wolf surprisingly launched the first attack.

Without the injection, the gray wolf would lie down and wait to die when facing a pride of lions, daring not to make any move.

But now it showed no fear whatsoever and launched an attack on the pride of lions.

It charged at one of the male lions and began to bite at its feet.

This scene,
It gives people a very comical feeling.

The individual fighting ability of a gray wolf is not low, but it is not even in the same league as a lion.

This is not just a difference in weight, but a racial crushing.

In the battle between felines and canines, felines have an inherent advantage.

At the same size, felines can easily outnumber canines, not to mention that a male lion is several times the size of a gray wolf.

The two sides are not even in the same league in terms of agility, strength, bite force, etc.

In North America, gray wolves are actually social animals, and individual fighting ability is not strong.

It is extremely ferocious and cunning.

But no matter how cunning a gray wolf is, it's useless in front of a lion.

This is a difference between species, which cannot be bridged in adulthood.

puff!

After the lion was provoked, the drug began to take effect.

When it saw the gray wolf rushing up to bite it, it leaped up and bit the gray wolf's neck.

At the same time, its paw pressed down on the gray wolf's head.

Click!

The moment the gray wolf approached the lion, the lion bit off its neck.

Instant kill!

It didn't even make a sound before the lion picked it up and carried it in its mouth.

There were no fancy offensive maneuvers; it was purely a crushing defeat between species.

This battle between the beasts was almost without suspense, ending in three seconds.

to be frank,
If the gray wolf hadn't been injected with the drug, it definitely wouldn't have dared to charge forward or provoke the lion pride, and might have survived a few more minutes.

but,

After the drug takes effect, the aggressive factor is activated, and the person loses the ability to think.

All the audience members present had anticipated this scene.

No one spoke; instead, they waited quietly for the Asian Grim Reaper to enter the battle.

The lion, with the gray wolf's carcass in its jaws, slowly walked around the iron cage of the arena.

Other lions followed behind it, seemingly declaring this as their territory.

Accompanied by surrounding music and light stimulation.

The drugs injected into the lion pride began to take effect, causing them to become agitated.

The lions, especially when they sensed the terrifying aura emanating from Chen Jie, tucked their tails between their legs and became extremely tense.

Kaka——!
Next, the elevator platform where Chen Jie was standing slowly descended.

Wild beasts don't distinguish between friend and foe, so Marcus Joe can't be off the court at this time.

Once the beasts shift their target and attack him, he's doomed.

Therefore,
Marku-Joe stood atop the iron fence, his eyes fixed on Chen Jie, eager to see how Chen Jie would deal with the lion pride's attack.

Swish-!
After Chen Jie stood on the ground of the 'cage arena'.

He stepped back a few paces, leaned against the surrounding protective netting, and looked up at the pride of lions not far away.

"Awooo—Awooo—!" The two male lions roared.

Perhaps they sensed a deadly threat from Chen Jie.

Therefore,
They roared, seemingly trying to drive Chen Jie away. (End of Chapter)
