350 The First Beast Tide (2/2)
The donkey kept trying to steal breaks to the point of staging a revolt in the end. Despite multiple kicks from Wang Baole, it stopped working. Instead, it sprawled on the ground and snorted. It wouldn't get back up to its feet and instead started rolling around in the grass…
The residents of the Federation watched with strange looks on their faces. Wang Baole sighed. He stared at the vast expanse of his zone and its barren land. Then, he walked over to a spot he had found earlier. The ground there was slightly softer.
The patch of land had been covered in weeds. The donkey might be lazy, but it had started its weed extermination on that patch of land. That was why it was relatively clean of grass.
After taking a few steps, Wang Baole sighed again. He patted his storage bracelet and, under the stunned gazes of the viewers watching from outside the Divine Armament Zone, pulled out a small chair…
He placed the chair on the ground and sat on it. Then, as if bored, he pulled out a bag of chicken wings from his storage bracelet and started eating…
A distance away, the donkey's eyes started sparkling. It dashed over and crouched before Wang Baole. It stared unblinkingly at the wings and began to drool. It started fawning, and its tail began to wag furiously.
”Are you a dog or a donkey? Where did you learn such a stupid habit? Wagging your tail! You're an embarrassment…” Wang Baole glared. Then, sparing a thought for the donkey's feelings, he reluctantly flung the chicken bones of the wings he had left over.
The donkey didn't seem to mind at all. With a loud crunch, it bit into the bones and swallowed them. Then, it continued to wag its tail…Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
The entire thing was caught on the live stream by everyone in the Federation. They had been paying attention to Wang Baole. They didn't know whether to laugh or cry when they saw him sitting down and snacking.
”What sort of courage must one have… to even be able to eat at this critical time? No wonder he's so fat!”
”This Wang Baole is a bit too much. The donkey is so adorable and even helped him with his work, but he only threw bones at it? The fatty even checked if there was any meat left before giving the bones to the donkey!”
”My heart weeps for the donkey!”
Countless gasps of shocked resounded in the homes across the Federation. The Sect Lord of the Ethereal Dao College placed his palm over his forehead, utterly speechless. Liu Daobin was stunned as well. He racked his brains, then smacked his thigh suddenly.
”This is the face of a man fearless before death and danger! Everyone else is nervous and afraid, but our great senior Wang Baole remains composed. You may think he's eating, but in truth, he is showing the world that he's calm and untroubled by the challenges he is faced with. He has been gifted with wisdom. He has a plan!”
The students heard what Liu Daobin had said, and their admiration and respect grew. Not for Wang Baole, but for Liu Daobin…
Liu Daobin felt he had reacted quite quickly as well and felt pleased with himself. Then, while no one else was looking, he quickly turned on his voice transmission ring and whispered into it.
”Say no more, I owe Wang Baole a great debt. Even if the odds on Li Yi are three to one and his are a thousand to one, I'm still going to bet ten Spirit Stones on Wang Baole! Help me place a thousand Spirit Stones on Li Yi too!”
Due to the scale of the New Mars Region trial and the attention it was generating, many important figures who rarely made public appearances in the Federation had emerged and set up temporary gambling dens for the event. News of this had spread throughout the Federation. Both commonfolk and cultivators were allowed to participate.
The odds for Wang Baole was a thousand to one while Li Yi's was three to one. As the trial progressed, more and more bets were placed. Compared to Wang Baole, the most popular betting choice was Li Yi!
Time passed steadily. Wang Baole and his donkey had eaten ten bags of chicken wings. It was then that a deafening thunder erupted from within the sealed Divine Armament Catacombs that sat in the middle of the ten candidates' respective zones.
It was deafening like thunder. As it resonated in the air, a somber expression appeared on the faces of Li Yi and the other candidates. They barked out orders, and a portion of their people separated from the rest and prepared for battle.
They all knew that the real trial had just begun!
Wang Baole lifted his head and glanced over as well. At that precise moment, the seal over the Divine Armament Catacombs… thinned considerably. Openings appeared in the seal…
Instantly… the howlings and roars of beasts erupted from the catacombs. Gruesome-looking beasts, seemingly in the state of partial decomposition, crawled out of the catacombs through the openings. Madness and violence colored their eyes. They surged out swiftly like violent waves!
