Chapter 6: One Shot Kill (1/2)

As expected, this ominous premonition didn’t appear without a reason. Her current body would already be a burden when facing those beasts even in her best condition, let alone her current state.

Bai Luochu couldn’t help but burst out into silent laughter. It was the same both in her previous and present life. Nothing good came her way and if anything were to happen to her, it was definitely something untoward.

“If it is a blessing, it wouldn’t be a calamity. If it is a calamity, it is unavoidable.” Bai Luochu stealthily touched her waist when no one was noticing. After confirming that her dagger and poison needles were securely fastened, she relaxed.

Since she was destined to battle against a spirit beast in the arena, she was going to go all-out. She was going to treat it as a test for her poisonous needles.

After Bai Luochu snapped back into reality, the person who rang the gong was done reciting the names of the slaves who were going into the arena.

“Since no one was able to defeat the Thunder Python yesterday, your opponent for today will still be the Thunder Python!”

The moment the words came out of the gong-ringer’s mouth, someone completely lost it. He cried for the heavens and screamed for the earth, begging for a change in the name list. Just the day before, more than ten individuals entered the arena but none of them came back. There was no lack of fiendish figures among those people but all of them had turned into food of the Thunder Python. It was a snake infamous for its ferocity...

If they were going to go up against the Thunder Python, they certainly wouldn’t be leaving the arena.

Bai Luochu rubbed her chin. “Thunder Python… it is indeed a little more formidable than the Fire Lion.”

Bai Luochu turned to look at the source of the howling and noticed that the extremely miserable person was that shrewd-looking man who said he could put in some good words for her to the supervisor.

The person who rang the gong was obviously frustrated by the howling and bawling as he gathered some strength to send a kick flying towards the man’s chest. Although this shrewd man was robust, healthy, and muscular, he still suffered from the kick as he rolled from side to side while clutching his chest.

Looking at this, everyone else who was going into the arena today had looks of despair plastered on their faces. They slowly sunk lower and lower before finally kneeling on the ground. It was as though they had seen themselves perishing in the arena.

Bai Luochu didn’t say anything and simply kneaded her arm as it was still paralyzed. Right now, she didn’t have more spirit medicine to use and she knew that she couldn’t afford another injury.

...

It was unknown if the amount of spiritual energy in her body increased as Bai Luochu could actually feel the blazing sunlight on the other side of the sluice gate even though she was trapped in darkness.

“Open the gate!” Immediately after the referee of the arena spoke, the sluice gate was abruptly raised. Bai Luochu had been in the darkness for way too long and for a moment, she couldn’t adapt to the dazzling light in the arena. She subconsciously raised her hand to cover her eyes and due to the temporary blindness she suffered, her hearing became extremely sensitive.

“Thunder Python! The Thunder Python is here again! The Thunder Python did well and didn’t throw the faces of the ferocious beasts! Today, I will bet on the Thunder Python! Complete victory!”

“The Thunder Python did well yesterday! Tear up a few more slaves today and I will reward you with some spirit flesh!”

“Tsk Tsk, yesterday I bet on the slaves to win… Who knew that all of those fools would be gobbled up by the python. Today, I will double my bets on the Thunder Python to recoup my losses!”

The Bestial Battle Arena was very lively with everyone yelling and clamoring. There was excitement, there was rage, however, there was a trace of indifference when they spoke. It was as though the Thunder Python ate rubbish the day before instead of people...

Well… it was true that after those slaves were sold to this place, they were no longer considered ‘humans’.

Bai Luochu let out a slight laugh. This was the Bestial Battle Arena approved by those boastful and so-called ‘people of the righteous dao’.

Just as Bai Luochu was reminiscing about her previous life, the first challenger had already walked out with a dejected and trembling expression on his face. He walked into the arena without any intent to battle since he had already accepted death. Therefore, when he faced off against the rapidly approaching Thunder Python, he didn’t dodge nor hide. As he didn’t put up any resistance at all, his neck was immediately severed by the jaws of the python, causing fresh blood to spray and splatter all around.
