Five Warriors

"Ziye, how do you have such a huge gem?" Bulma asked in astonishment.

At that, Ziye rubbed his nose and said with a smile, "I got it by raiding the Red Ribbon Base. How could I not have some money on me in this world?"

"You really thought ahead, Ziye!"

Goku nodded repeatedly.

"Wait! We'll take the challenge!" Master Roshi suddenly snatched the gem from Fortuneteller Baba and declared.

"Goku, Ziye, Krillin, this is a great opportunity to test yourselves. Make sure you take full advantage of it!"

"Perverted old man, give me back my gem!" Fortuneteller Baba instantly flew into a rage and charged at Master Roshi.

"You don't want to break your own rules, do you?" Master Roshi asked again.

"You..."

"You win."

"Come with me!"

With that, Fortuneteller Baba turned and left on her Crystal Ball. Ziye and the others hurried after her.

"All right, this is the place!"

Fortuneteller Baba stopped abruptly and turned to address them. "Next, you'll fight my five warriors. If you win, I'll tell your fortunes for free!"

"I thought it was going to be something serious. Baba, don't say I didn't warn you. The three of us made it into the top four at the World Martial Arts Tournament. We're not to be underestimated!" Krillin said smugly.

"Then let's see what you've got!"

Fortuneteller Baba said with a sly grin.

"What are the rules?"

Ziye asked calmly.

"There are no rules. You lose if you surrender or fall into the lake!" Fortuneteller Baba explained.

"Sounds easy enough!"

Krillin waved a hand, unconcerned.

"Who will you send out first?" Fortuneteller Baba suddenly asked.

"I'll go first!"

Krillin stepped forward, put his hands on his hips, and struck a confident pose.

"Go, Krillin!"

Goku shouted excitedly.

"Goku, Ziye, you probably won't even get a chance to fight. I can beat all of them by myself!" Krillin turned around, rubbed his nose, and said confidently.

"That brat's getting carried away again! He didn't listen to a word I said. Maybe a little hardship will teach him a lesson."

Master Roshi furrowed his brow and muttered, annoyed.

"Krillin, be careful,"

Ziye warned him.

"I'll be fine. Just watch me,"

Krillin said casually, waving a hand.

"Vampire... you can come out now!"

At Fortuneteller Baba's words, Krillin scratched his head and said, puzzled, "Vampire? What a strange name."

The next second, a gray bat flew out and came to a stop in front of Krillin.

"It's just a little bat. I have to fight something like this?"

Krillin couldn't help laughing, and spoke disdainfully.

Thump!

The bat suddenly gave off a puff of white smoke and transformed into a scrawny man, wearing strange boxing gloves.

"This guy looks pretty weak!"

"The match begins!"

"Take this!"

As soon as Fortuneteller Baba gave the signal, Krillin leaped into the air and kicked toward the Vampire!

But the Vampire suddenly turned back into a bat, dodging Krillin's attack. Then, using his advantage in the air, he launched a relentless assault on Krillin.

The next second, the Vampire swooped down from behind Krillin. He turned back into a man and grabbed Krillin in a tight hold, sinking his sharp fangs into Krillin's head.

"Ah! That hurts! Let go of me!"

Krillin's face changed as he felt the blood draining from his body.

Before long, Krillin collapsed from blood loss. The bat released him, sparing his life.

"We have a winner. The Vampire wins!"

At Fortuneteller Baba's words, the Pink Ghost hurried over to Krillin with a blood transfusion kit. Krillin soon regained his color.

"I'll take the next match!"

Ziye stepped forward, his expression calm.

"Be careful, Ziye. That guy looks terrifying!" Bulma said anxiously.

"Don't worry."

"Hey, with skin as smooth as yours, your blood must taste even better," the Vampire said, drooling onto the ground as he looked at Ziye.

"You might not live to enjoy it."

"All right, the match begins!"

As soon as Fortuneteller Baba gave the signal, the Vampire drooled and charged at Ziye at full speed.

Ziye sneered, then spread his arms and legs into the shape of a cross. The Vampire saw this and jumped in fright, fleeing at top speed!

"Dodon Ray!"

Ziye lightly pointed a finger, and a golden blast of energy shot out, striking the bat and knocking him into the water.

"Great! He won! He won!"

Goku jumped up excitedly.

"You... How do you know the Dodon Ray?"

Master Roshi asked, astonished.

"Oh, that? I watched Tao Pai Pai use it once, and then I learned it!" Ziye replied with a smile.

"I... I see. I'd almost forgotten you had that talent!" Master Roshi said with a nod.

"You can send out your next warrior!"

"My second warrior is already out. Can't you see him?"

Fortuneteller Baba suddenly said with a smile.

"All right, enough talking! The second match starts now!"

Thump!

A punch suddenly cut through the air. Hearing it, Ziye reacted at once and narrowly dodged the attack!

"You dodged it? Impressive!" Fortuneteller Baba praised him with a nod.

"The Invisible Man? Interesting!"

Ziye gave a slight smile and muttered under his breath.

Thump!

"I got him!"

Fortuneteller Baba shouted excitedly.

"I'm the one who caught him!"

Ziye gave a cold laugh, then clamped down on the Invisible Man's hand. With a forceful swing, he left the Invisible Man badly injured, then dragged him by the hand to the lake and threw him in!

"Y-you really do have some skill! I'll send out my third warrior now!"

Fortuneteller Baba stammered.

"Sister, my disciple isn't like an ordinary person. Don't underestimate him!" Master Roshi said with a smile.

"Sister?"

The others were stunned by the way he addressed her.

"In that case, we'll need a different place for the third match. Follow me!"

With that, Fortuneteller Baba turned and floated toward the house. Ziye and the others hurried after her.

"Where's she taking us this time?"

Krillin asked, puzzled.

"The Devil's Toilet."

Master Roshi replied calmly.

"What kind of place is that?"

"Just remember my advice: don't die."
