Chapter 398: Cheers

The Hundred Tempering Snake Tribe and the Big Dipper Lizard Tribe defeated the guards almost at the same time, but in the end, the Hundred Tempering Snake Tribe suddenly attacked the other party’s witch doctor!

In order to protect the witch doctor, the lizard beasts immediately stopped and counterattacked.

The Hundred Tempering Snake Tribe did not continue fighting. They immediately withdrew their attacks and took the opportunity to rush into the inner city to obtain second place!

The Big Dipper Lizard Tribe and the Tian Wu Crocodile Tribe were eliminated.

The envoy crossed out all the lizards and crocodiles on the sheepskin scroll. Then, he said to the Hundred Tempering Snake Tribe and the Rock Wolf Tribe, “Congratulations on pa.s.sing the first round of trials!”

Because he was in second place, the face of the leader of the Hundred Tempering Snake Tribe was extremely dark.

Shuang Yun completely ignored his scowl and turned to Huanhuan. “We made it to the second round!”

Huanhuan gave him a thumbs up. “Awesome!”

The witch doctor of the lizard tribe was so sad that he was crying. The tribe’s leader stood beside him with a helpless expression. “So be it. I didn’t expect us to win anyway.”

The witch doctor covered his face and cried. “It’s all my fault. I dragged you down! If it weren’t for me, we would’ve won!”

The leader sighed. “You’re our witch doctor. Protecting you is our priority. If the price of winning is sacrificing you, I’d rather lose.”

Hearing this, Shuang Yun couldn’t help but applaud him. “Well said!”

Huanhuan looked at him, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. “What are you doing?!”

“I think he put it very well! If you were in danger, I would protect you at all costs too!”

Huanhuan was touched by his sincerity.

The last member of the Tian Wu Crocodile Tribe also arrived in the inner city.

When Thaine found out that he had lost, he was a little disappointed, but he quickly pulled himself together. He stretched out his fist to Shuang Yun. “Congratulations on successfully advancing!”

Shuang Yun b.u.mped fists with him. “We’ll definitely win!”

Thaine laughed. “You have to win! On the way here, I bought all the bone tablets of your Rock Wolf Tribe. If you lose, I’ll go bankrupt!”

Upon hearing this, Huanhuan immediately had a very good impression of this man whose chest muscles were bigger than hers.

He also felt that the Rock Wolf Tribe would win. Great minds thought alike!

The divine servant closed the sheepskin scroll. “The Rock Wolf Tribe and the Hundred Tempering Snake Tribe will follow me. The rest of you can go home.”

Shuang Yun said goodbye to Thaine, then brought the Rock Wolf Tribe to follow the envoy. The Hundred Tempering Snake Tribe immediately followed.

Huanhuan looked back at the gradually disappearing lizards and crocodiles and said softly, “They’re experts who succeeded out of more than 20 large tribes. They should be very powerful, but I didn’t expect them to be eliminated so easily.”

Bai Di carried her forward and said, “In terms of strength, the lizard and crocodile races are actually stronger than the Hundred Tempering Snake race, but luck was involved in the first round of the trial. Coupled with the fact that the Hundred Tempering Snake race likes to trip their opponents up in the dark, their two tribes were eliminated in the end. If they fought a fair game, they might not have lost. At least, not so quickly.”

Huanhuan nodded thoughtfully. “Mhm.”

The envoy brought them to the largest colosseum in the inner city.

“The second round of trials will be held here. You’ll each choose three warriors from your tribes to fight one-on-one. You need to win two out of three rounds.”

It was a simple and crude rule, but it was unexpectedly fair.

Neither tribe had any objections.

The envoy said, “I’ll give you some time to prepare.”

The Hundred Tempering Snake Tribe gathered together to discuss who to choose. As they discussed, they glanced at the Rock Wolf Tribe.

Shuang Yun said, “Bai Di, Xue Ling, and I will fight. Do you have any questions?”

Bai Di and Xue Ling agreed.

Shuang Yun asked, “Should we discuss tactics? Who’s going to go first?”

Xue Ling took the initiative. “I’ll go.”

Shuang Yun didn’t ask why and agreed readily. “Alright, you go first. I’ll go second. Bai Di will be the finale.”

Bai Di nodded. “Okay.”

They quickly came to a conclusion.

The Hundred Tempering Snake Tribe was still discussing.

The envoy looked at the sky and said, “It’s time. The three chosen warriors, please step forward.”

Three snake beasts stood up, including their leader.

On the Rock Wolf Tribe’s side were Shuang Yun, Bai Di, and Xue Ling.

The envoy glanced at them. “The six of you, come this way with me. The rest of you, go out the opposite exit and wait outside.”

Huanhuan watched Bai Di and the others leave.

Two other guards left with the remaining beasts.

When they walked out, they saw a viewing platform. From here, they could see the entire colosseum. Around the colosseum, there were many viewing platforms similar to the ones they were standing in now. Many beasts were sitting or standing on the viewing platforms.

Most of them were n.o.ble beasts who lived in the inner city. There were even two princes and five elders.

First Elder was among them.

Huanhuan became nervous when she saw him. She immediately pushed her hood down to cover most of her face.

The two guards said, “Wait here. We’ll come get you after the trial.”

With that, they left.

When Xue Ling and a snake beast walked into the colosseum, the beasts in the stands cheered as if they were welcoming the main characters.

The judge gestured backstage.

Soon, a ferocious water-splitting beast was released. It must have gone hungry for several days. When it saw Xue Ling and the snake beast, its eyes lit up with hunger and greed.

Seeing this, Huanhuan immediately asked, “Why are there wild beasts in the b.e.s.t.i.a.l Battle Arena?!”

Xue Hui pressed her shoulder to calm her down. “This is the b.e.s.t.i.a.l Battle Arena. It’s normal to have wild beasts.”

“But no one said there were going to be wild beasts here just now!”

“This is the rules of the b.e.s.t.i.a.l Battle Arena. Every time there’s a duel, they’ll put in a different number of ferocious wild beasts to liven things up.”

Huanhuan frowned. “We’re here to partic.i.p.ate in the trial, not to perform. Why do we need to use other things to liven things up?!”

Xue Hui’s gaze swept across the excited faces of the n.o.ble beasts. She sighed with a complicated expression. “In the eyes of these n.o.ble beasts, we’re no different from those ferocious wild beasts. We’re all toys to them. This trial is just a more interesting show for them.”

Huanhuan was stunned.

Xue Hui approached her and said softly, “This is a world where the strong are respected. If you want to gain the respect of others, you have to become strong first. Otherwise, you can only be teased and played with like those ferocious wild beasts in cages.”

It was cruel but the reality of it.

Huanhuan pursed her lips, her face becoming pale.
