Chapter 328 (2/2)
Tuo and Lei wanted to speak but Shao Xuan stopped them with a hand. He distributed his leftover medicine to the other few.
The four people from Feather and Tianshan tribe were fatigued, especially the two from Feather tribe. They were very young, they’d never experienced anything like this so they were very anxious and terrified. The men of Tianshan tribe did not have their bow and arrows with them, hence their confidence had taken a huge hit. They knew they might die when they joined this travelling group but never would’ve thought it would come to this.
The Beast Battle City… They would rather be eaten by an animal in the desert than die a humiliating death here. Suicide? They had no guts for this either.
Lei and Tuo had the guts to kill themselves but they would not do so. They want us to fight a beast? Then we’ll fight! To them, they would rather die fighting.
In the pit on the other side of the door, there was a deafening roar that shook every heart. The young warrior of Feather tribe stood with shaky legs- and this was after their training too. If they had not endured the suffering in the deserts, perhaps they would not be moving now.
Could they escape? They’d thought of this but there were layers and layers of guards on the other end of the tunnel, they had bows and arrows poised in their hands too. It was impossible. What about them? They didn’t even have a piece of rock! How would they fight? They’d die immediately!
The vibrations outside the door weakened, the roars were no longer as loud. After a few shrieks of agony, everyone knew it was the end of the third battle.
When everything stopped, it was so quiet you could hear a pin drop in the walkway. Every breath could be heard.
The breeze brought with it the smell of rot and blood, heightening their anxiety.
Soon, a group of people wielding weapons approached.
The leader snarled maliciously, pointing the sharp end of his weapon at Shao Xuan and the rest. “It’s time!”
It sounded as if he said ‘time to die!’.
Rumble rumble…
The heavy stone door opened, revealing a pit so bright everyone covered their eyes with their hands.
Although some of the sand was replaced after every battle, some of the bloodstains from prior fights remained.
The guards hurried them towards the sandpit, slashing at them with their weapons when they slowed down. However, one was stopped by Shao Xuan.
The guard was about to slash at Shao Xuan again when he said, “What, want to come with us?”
The guard was stunned for a moment, then stepped back. He did not want to fight to his death in the pit.
Shao Xuan did not look at the rest, merely walking towards the pit. Lei and Tuo hurried after him. The people of Feather and Tianshan tribe looked at each other then walked. The last four slaves were kicked into the pit by the guards.
The heavy door closed, sealing off their entrance.
Clatter clatter clatter!
More than ten stone blades were tossed from the bleachers above. These blades were quite sharp too, made of good quality stone.
These people grabbed the knives frantically.
The door opposite to theirs opened with a rumble. A giant beast with cone-shaped spikes all around its body ambled into the pit.
