In the place where the fighting beasts were kept, in a warehouse-like house, a giant beast was lying there quietly.
It was a bull with big pointed horns, and if the outside light was good, one could see the brown fur.
It was the fighting beast that had appeared every year in Red Star City for the past five years, winning five battles. Because some of the patterns on its back were like flames, it was also called the flame bull by the people of Red Star City.
This flame bull had been enslaved by the Red Star City Lord, and it was not the first time it had participated in the Colosseum. It had even been used as the finale many times.
The sound from the Colosseum made it annoyed, but it was not crazy. There were also some drugs around that could make them temporarily calm down.
There was not much light coming through the few holes in the slate, but the dim environment did not have much impact on it.
Suddenly, it heard movement on the ground and looked over, only to see a bug crawling out of the ground.
The flame bull did not pay attention to it. After looking at it, it continued to rest and prepare for the next battle. Just a bug, why bother looking?
However, it did not pay attention to it. The bug was restless, biting and scratching every once in a while, and it was becoming more and more rampant. The shaking of the bull's tail could not expel it. The speed of the bug was quite fast.
It was annoying.
In order to participate in the battle, it would be hungry for a day or two like most of the fighting beasts. Although there would still be food supply in these days, it was much less than the previous careful breeding. In addition, after coming to the Colosseum, it had not eaten its favorite kind of grass. In the past, when it was in Red Star City, there were slaves who transported the grass every few days. But after coming here, it could only eat hay and some other plants that did not taste good.
It was a little hot.
The flame bull's two big nostrils spewed out hot air, and its calm mood was faintly fluctuating.
On the other side, in the Colosseum.
Shao Xuan looked at the horned lizard beast that walked into the battlefield.
Its body was flat, and its torso was oval. From a distance, it looked like a toad with thorns, but there was a tail behind it that was not long. The back of this horned lizard beast was dark sand, and its whole body was covered with thorny scales, like a sharp spearhead, like armor. In addition to those cone-shaped thorns, there were also some coarse scaled thorns.
The horned lizard beast looked very fierce, especially the sharp short thorns. Even if it was only used for defense and not attack, it was enough to give people a headache.
The Horned Lizard Beast moved its four limbs and walked to the center of the battlefield. The roars from the surrounding stands made it very uncomfortable. It turned its stubby neck and swept around. Then, its sight fell on Shao Xuan and the others. It had a reddish-brown head, and there were some dried red marks around its eyes, which made its eyes look even more strange, especially when it glanced at Shao Xuan and the others.
Looking into those eyes, Shao Xuan could hear the people behind him gulping. He could even hear their hearts beating faster.
Even Lei and Tuo, who had hunted for many years, could not maintain the mentality of the previous hunting. There was no shelter around, this was a completely direct confrontation!
The giant beast in the middle of the battlefield opened its mouth and roared at Shao Xuan and the others.
The sound was not as high-pitched as the previous beasts, nor was it the kind of heavy thunder drum sound. It was like the sound of a storm sweeping through the sand dunes. It made people feel their hair stand on end.
With the roar, the rapid airflow blew up the sand on the battlefield. The oncoming sand made everyone's eyes narrow, but they did not dare to move away. They were afraid that if they moved, they would miss the opportunity to escape.
"Xuan, what should we do?" Tuo asked.
"Wait first." Shao Xuan observed the horned lizard beast, recalling the information Su Gu gave him to determine the feasibility of the strategy. He didn't really want to fight with such a fierce beast here. If he really fought with his life, the already injured Lei and Tuo would not be spared. From the previous two battles, he could see the destructive power of the fighting beasts in the battlefield. Especially Lei, who probably endured the pain while running, so his movement was naturally severely limited.
After the horned lizard beast in the battlefield roared, it moved its four limbs and sped up its pace. It went to the place where Shao Xuan and the others were. With every step, a lot of sand was kicked up.
Shao Xuan and the others had not yet moved, but the four slaves in the back began to shout and run away.
The horned lizard beast was originally heading in the direction of Shao Xuan and the others, but when it saw the people running away, it put its attention on the people running. Looking at its cumbersome body, each step was huge, and within a few steps, it had already caught up with the slave running in the front. The horned lizard beast did not stretch out its relatively short limbs, nor did it swing its not-so-long tail. Instead, it directly slid and "floated" sideways, hitting the stone wall next to it.
Boom!
Sand and stones splashed, and the stones on the edge of the wall were hit by the hard horns on its body. A lot of stone chips fell off.
The slave running in the front was sandwiched between the horned lizard beast and the wall of the battlefield. One could imagine his end.
The rest of the people felt their breathing stagnant, and the hand holding the knife was shaking. The courage that they had just gathered was scattered into slag under this collision.
"Oh-"
"Good!"
"Oh-"
In the surrounding stands, the young slave owners were so excited that their faces turned red, and when they roared wildly, their faces looked ferocious.
They heard that in addition to the four slaves who were obviously tanned, the others were tribal people, and this group of slave owners was even more excited.
It turned out to be tribal people...
"Kill, kill, kill!"
"Kill them!"
The shouts shook the sky.
The horned lizard beast that hit the wall twisted its short spotted neck and looked at the others.
The slave closest to the horned lizard beast did not dare to run forward again. Seeing the horned lizard beast focus on him, the slave did not have the courage to lift his knife and turned to run. This time he did not run around, but went back, toward the place where Shao Xuan and the others were.
But this time, the horned lizard beast did not immediately accelerate to chase. Instead, it took a step and shook off the stone and sand on its body. It did not look at the slave who had been squeezed into a meat patty. Step by step, it walked in the direction of Shao Xuan and the others. Its eyes were slightly closed, and it looked somewhat absent-minded.
After the scene just now, no one dared to relax their vigilance. Their nerves were tense, and their hearts were hanging high as they stared at the approaching beast.
Looking at the approaching beast, a slave glanced at Shao Xuan and the others who were still standing there. He gritted his teeth and ran out. However, after running a few steps, he stiffly stopped because he found that the horned lizard beast had focused its attention on him.
The slave who was frozen there like a sculpture maintained his running posture. He did not dare to look directly at the other side. He only observed with his peripheral vision and did not care about the sweat dripping from his forehead.
Seeing that the slave was no longer running, the horned lizard beast seemed a little disappointed and put its eyes on the place with the most people. After looking for a while, it suddenly took two steps forward.
The four people of the Yu tribe and the Tian Shan tribe also wanted to stay with the three people of the Yanjiao tribe, so that they could share a lot of the pressure. But looking at the approaching beast, their hearts were also drumming, hesitating whether to stay away. Seeing the horned lizard beast step forward, the thunder-like impact flashed in the minds of several people, and their conditioned reflexes retreated far away.
However, the battlefield was circular, and they were already close to the edge. Even if they retreated, they could only retreat along the edge of the circular arc.
They thought that the horned lizard beast would make another thunderous impact, but unexpectedly, it took two steps, stopped, and roared again.
The sand on the ground rushed straight to the place where Shao Xuan and the others were.
The three slaves could not help but retreat a little. They did not run, but moved step by step, trying not to attract the attention of the horned lizard beast. The people of the Yu tribe and the Tian Shan tribe had already retreated several steps. Now facing the impact of the sand, they retreated again.
In this way, the closest to the beast were the three people of the Yanjiao tribe.
Seeing this scene, the other seven of the remaining ten people in the field obviously took a breath. In any case, the first to face the attack of the beast must be the three of them.
Tuo and Lei focused on Shao Xuan. Shao Xuan did not move, and they did not move.
The outer cloth was blown back by the wind. Shao Xuan pulled the hat on his head and lifted his foot in the direction of the beast.
Shao Xuan moved, and Lei and Tuo also moved. Probably feeling that Shao Xuan issued an attack signal, Lei rushed forward with a knife. If it was during the hunt, he would not be so impulsive, but here, the pressure brought by the atmosphere pulled his nerves. After seeing the beast, he did not even think about leaving.
Death is death, at least try to create some opportunities for Shao Xuan and Tuo. If they could hurt the beast a few times, it would be better.
However, Lei, who was going to try his best to fight, had not run a step, and was thrown to Tuo by Shao Xuan.
Shao Xuan lowered his voice and said quickly, "You two stay here first. If I can't stop it later, you can act according to the situation."
Tuo still wanted to say something, but Shao Xuan waved his hand and continued to go to the beast.
"What is he going to do?" A person of the Yu tribe said.
"Is he crazy?!"
A person of the Tian Shan tribe recalled that in the tribe, when the shaman heard the news of the Yanjiao tribe, his evaluation was that the Yanjiao people were like lunatics.
Now it seemed that the Yanjiao people were really crazy. They did not even avoid it, but went forward!
Not only the other people on the battlefield, but even the slave owners in the stands also felt that the man in the strange hooded cloth was looking for death.
Shao Xuan, regardless of what other people thought, still went forward. His long sleeves covered his hands, so that people could not see whether he had a weapon or not.
Shao Xuan did not retreat, but moved forward, making the beast stunned. It also did not care about other people, and its two slightly closed eyes opened a little bit, staring at the approaching people. Others could not feel it, but it could clearly perceive the man's increasing momentum with each step.
Twenty meters … ten meters … five meters …
Shao Xuan could even smell the muddy smell of the beast's breath.
The beast looked at the approaching people, roared, and raised a front paw, about to slap Shao Xuan.
Shao Xuan was faster, and also raised an arm.
All the momentum that had been accumulating in this moment burst out. In his mind, the totemic flame fiercely rolled, and the outer shell of the totemic flame became brighter. Five beams of blue flame came out of the inside, like dragons coming out of the sea. They swam along the meridians, unstoppable, rushed over the arm, and emerged from the front of the five fingers of the raised arm.
Whoosh!
The blue flame wrapped around the palm.
The moment the flame appeared, the sand raised by the beast's roar, with Shao Xuan as the center, quickly shook out layers of visible ripples in all directions.
