Chapter 313 – Making a Be (1/2)

The Third Young Master’s group and the Flaming Horns tribesmen followed the group that rode the huge Gerbils and reached the part of the city which was riddled with beast fighting pits.

Apart from those Slave Masters of the City Lord level, other Slave Masters usually conducted their [t/n: their slaves/beasts] fights in these pits in Beast Battle City.

There were many hollow pits surrounding the Colosseum, and the fight that those people riding the Gerbils just talked about was happening in a pit nearby.

Because this fight involved people of Rock Hill and Flame Mound, both being ranked among the three big cities, many people rushed over there to watch or pick a side.

By the time Shao Xuan and his team arrived, many people had already gathered around the huge pit, which was nearly 100 meters in diameter and about 30 meters in depth.

Many of the riding beasts acted maniacally when they got closer to the pits, so those Slave Masters asked their slaves to watch over the beasts, while they walked over to stand near the pit and watch the fight closely.

Inside the pit, there was a ferocious beast nearly seven meters in height, its fur was as yellow as sand, and each of its hair looked as sharp as a steel needle. It looked like a gorilla, but its head was bigger, and strangely it had three red eyes. It kept turning its blood-red eyes to observe the people standing around the pit.

The beast had just been brought up, it was used to the long periods of restrainment and suppression, now that it was out, it seemed to anticipate what would generally follow through next and started breathing roughly. People felt a kind of pressure envelope them when hearing its rough breathing that sounded like boulders rolling downhill.

The presence of audience seemed to further affect its mental state, as the bloodthirsty light in its eyes got even stronger.

“ROAR!“

The beast roared loudly. In order to show its strength, it raised two strong arms and slammed them against the ground.

As a result, the ground of the pit caved in.

Seeing this scene, the audience got even more excited. Can the other side win under the attack of such a powerful beast?

After displaying its power, the beast looked around and then fixed its eyes on a figure.

Standing beside the pit, Su Gu was like a person injected with chicken blood – eagerly waiting to watch the fight begin. He thought about something, and then spoke to Wu Shi, who was next to him, while pointing to a place near the pit.

Wu Shi nodded and left with a cloth bag.

Shao Xuan had long noticed the place Su Gu pointed at – it was a place to make bets.

The audience could place bets on the result of the fights while watching them.

“Which side did you place your stake on?” Shao Xuan asked.

Su Gu pointed to the guy in the pit and said, “That slave.”

That slave stood there radiating calmness, holding no weapon in hand.

If someone entered the pit, there was more than 50% chance that only them or their opponent would come out alive. The loser would become the stepping stone for the winner. Of course, it was also possible that neither side could survive the fight.

“The beast is making its move!” Someone shouted.

Shao Xuan looked over.

The first one to launch an attack was the beast which was already on the verge of agitation.

The beast dashed towards the only creature in the pit except for itself, then, with explosive force, it brought down both its arms, mercilessly, right on top of the slave. It didn’t exhibit any superfluous skills – beasts always attacked directly and fiercely, and every blow was resolute and powerful.

Right after that, there was an explosion in the pit, and the dust filled the air, leaving the people unable to see the situation inside.

Nevertheless, people standing outside the pit felt the tremor of the ground.

Seeing the beast’s attack power, the safety encirclement of the slave guards guarding their respective Slave Masters tightened further to prevent any mishaps.. Some Slave Masters also took two steps back as a precautionary measure.

Unexpected incidents have been known to occur in the pit. Many young and battle feverish Slave Masters get so absorbed in these fights that they unknowingly move and stand too close to the edge of the pit; when the pit wall collapses because of continuous attacks from the fighting beasts, those Slave Masters fall into the pit and get trampled to death by the fighting beasts.

With this lesson from the past, although there were many young and battle crazy Slave Masters who approached the edge each time, there were other clear-headed people who still cared more about their lives and thus maintained a good distance from the edge.

The attack of the beast just now was very fast and destructive, but, as everyone knew, a simple person would never get the chance to fight in the pit.

When you find yourself in a weak position, you need to rely on your own physical strength, speed, skills, among other things to drag the opponent to their death bit by bit, because a direct confrontation and exchange of attacks would spell your own doom. In such a situation, where the odds are stacked against you, once your opponent makes a single mistake, the only thing waiting for him should be death.

The slave avoided the first blow.
