Chapter 203 178. Through screening, the adventurer's strength
At that moment, Reis returned to the carriage, and everyone stopped whispering.
After a short while, the carriage entered Dark Night City.
Within a massive cylindrical building.
Lin Da and his companions were escorted through a long, dark passage. As they neared its end, the light suddenly brightened, and a wave of cheers flooded in, along with the thick scent of blood from the Arena...
Around an amphitheater reminiscent of the Roman Colosseum, men and women excitedly clutched some kind of tickets, shouting loudly:
"Number 174, you've got to survive, I bet 1000 pounds on you!"
"Girl of number 35, try to last thirty seconds, okay!"
"Number 36 is pretty too, what a pity."
Numbers had been affixed to Lin Da and his team members; they were 34, 35, and 36, respectively.
Right in the middle of the Arena, a rectangular scoreboard was suspended in the air, displaying the current number of people at 100,
When only 10 people remained, the festivity would end, and those who survived would become warriors.
Experience tales at empire
A hundred people stood in formation under the direction of the security staff, and the three members of the Phoenix Tail Flower Team were all at the very front.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Up in the stands, Reis's face bore a cold smile, as if to say that this was the consequence of offending him.
Three cages were wheeled out, inside them were tigers that had gone several days without food, massive in size, with powerful majestic roars.
The cages opened, and they revealed their fangs, walking slowly this way.
Everyone's faces changed color.
Even the strongest gang warriors couldn't possibly defeat a tiger with their bare hands!
These beasts, tainted by the miasma of the wild, weighed a thousand pounds, and a single swipe of their paw could knock a warrior's head askew.
But Monica's eyes lit up: just as the captain said, the beasts of this Mystic Realm had no "Magic Power".
To the ordinary person, the fearsome and terrifying tiger seemed cute to Monica, fluffy and making her want to bury her face in it and rub against it.
The three tigers walked leisurely this way, their tiger eyes scanning the crowd, pondering which one to eat first.
At that moment, Monica suddenly cried out in surprise, having been pushed to the forefront by Mark, who was beside her!
The spectators immediately laughed:
"Great, great, I love seeing the bullying of the Big Lolita!"
"I bet on number 35, sigh!"
"I want to see ketchup splatter!"
Sentence after sentence of bloodthirsty words made one's scalp tingle.
Lin Da narrowed his eyes at the smug Mark. He dared to bully a member of the Phoenix Tail Flower Team; he had just sentenced himself to death.
As for Monica, she stumbled and fell clumsily to the ground, and accidentally knocked her head against one of the tigers.
The crowd tittered with laughter.
However, the next moment, the lofty scoffing came to an abrupt stop.
Somehow, the tiger that had been starved for days lay down, trembling with fear.
To the tiger kind, lying down and exposing the neck was an act of submission!
The most baffling part was that the tiger extended its front paw, padding its flesh on the ground to cushion Monica's forehead.
It was like... a giant, lick-happy tiger!
Monica herself was somewhat surprised, hugging the tiger's head and trying to rub against it. The tiger didn't resist at all; in fact, it trembled even more violently...
The instincts of a beast far outweighed those of humans.
The tiger keenly sensed that this petite human before it was a top predator.
More powerful than anyone it had ever seen!
This adorable scene, amid the bloody and brutal Arena, was jarringly out of place.
What the audience wanted to see was tigers devouring humans, not Big Lolita petting the cats!
Some people were furious, while others showed thoughtful expressions.
The three tigers just stood there, dumbfounded, as if turned to stone.
The Beast Tamer came up to calm them, but to his headache, nothing worked.
"Scared after being locked up with that Bear King last night?"
The Beast Tamer muttered, puzzled.
He injected the red liquid from the syringe into the tigers' bodies.
"Owww~!"
In an instant, the tigers roared in pain; their eyes reddened, muscles swelled, and thick saliva dripped from their bloodied maws.
Under the influence of that strange potion, the tigers became ferociously aggressive.
Several unlucky ones in the front row soon met their demise at the jaws of the tigers.
Lin Da ran away with Monica.
90% of this Mystic Realm remained unknown; the Phoenix Tail Flower Team had to hide their strength as much as possible to avoid startling the snake by hitting the grass.
From the adventure goals on the leaves of the World Tree, there was a 'god' within the Mystic Realm. Although it was in quotes, if it could be called a god, it must at least be a hidden BOSS.
It won't be any lower level than a 15th-level Goblin Chieftain, maybe even 20.
The entire Phoenix Tail Flower Team was at level 19; to face such a BOSS, they needed to be cautious.
On the Arena, blood splattered everywhere.
Just a few minutes went by, and only ten people remained on the Arena.
The bastard who shoved Monica was killed by a tiger due to Lin Da's covert operation.
After a selection process, the Phoenix Tail Flower Team became part of the Dawn of Hell's fighters, and Lin Da and the team members were placed in separate dormitories for males and females.
"I'll leave Monica in your care. Remember not to alarm anyone when looking for the Werewolf."
Lin Da placed Monica's little hand into Kafni's palm.
"Leave it to me. You're well aware of my scouting ability," Kafni replied confidently. "As long as the Werewolf is on the girls' dormitory side, I'll just pluck her right out."
Monica looked back at Lin Da, reluctant to part, until the fierce and imposing security personnel came to urge them on, and they separated.
Shortly after reaching the dormitory, once the security officer left, the newcomers such as Lin Da were 'warmly welcomed' by the veterans.
This was a large communal dormitory converted from an abandoned factory, with two rows of iron beds lined up in a row, housing at least a hundred people.
Those who survived the Arena were formidable, each tall and muscular, with faces full of fierce flesh.
Lin Da felt as if he had entered a room gathering bullies; among them, he was the only one who looked refined and out of place.
"Haha, newbies have arrived!"
"Six of them this time... not bad, we've got six people to shed 'singlehood'!"
"Hehehe, it's my turn to pick first, right?"
A group of men, all over six feet tall, surrounded Lin Da and the other six newbies. Seeing the newbies' puzzled expressions, one burly man with a pink mohawk laughed and said:
"Here, every newbie needs to find a 'husband' to rely on, you know? Otherwise, with your puny strength, you'll soon be bullied to death by everyone. It's better to be bullied by just one 'husband' than by everyone... my lovelies, you know how to choose, right?"
"You bastard, dare you insult a 'Blood Flower Gang' warrior!"
One lean and vicious newbie stepped forward and elbowed the pink mohawk man's head.
However, the latter dodged swiftly with a dip, followed by a wrestling slam... Bang! The newbie's spine was broken, leaving him paralyzed!
The other newbies, except for Lin Da, all changed their expressions.
Indeed, those who survived the tiger's jaws were among the best, experts in fighting.
But let's not forget, those people in the dormitory were all 'fighters,' having survived countless bloody battles, they could be called champions of brawling!
