Chapter 80: The Dignified Soul Beast's Pressure, Little Wolf's Vitality!

  Just like Ling Xiao, almost everyone on the viewing platform couldn't believe what they were seeing. Had Blood Purgatory made a mistake? How could they have sent a wolf to participate in the trial?

  Lan Youzhu, who was hiding in the Blood Refining Iron Cage, was also shocked. Since the Beast Fighting project was launched in the Blood Refining Tower, it seemed that there had never been a precedent for a soul beast to participate in the competition on behalf of its master. She turned her head and looked at Luo Tian, the boss of the Blood Refining Prison, with a puzzled expression. The latter smiled slightly and said lightly: "There is no rule in the Blood Refining Tower that prohibits soul beasts from representing their masters in competitions, right? Moreover, Xiao Lang is one of us, so it's not inappropriate for him to represent us in the competition."

  Lan Youzhu was taken aback by the words, indeed, the Blood Refining Tower had never explicitly prohibited soul beasts from participating in the trial, but... that little wolf, apart from its color, looked ordinary in every other way. The Blood Refining Hell sent it to take the lead, could it be that they just wanted it to be the first to die in vain?

  The Qian Huan Gongzi on the viewing platform was also surprised that the Blood Refining Tower had sent a wolf to participate in the beast fight, but he didn't stand up to protest. In his opinion, the wolf was probably just a cannon fodder sent by the Ling Xiao Sect to test the waters, and it wouldn't have any substantial impact on today's outcome. He couldn't be bothered to care about it anyway, as all his attention was now focused on getting back at his wife, and he didn't have the energy to bother with these unimportant things.

  Seeing that the other party had no response, Ling Xiao's subordinate leaned down and whispered in his ear: "City Master, didn't you want to get rid of those three little ghosts through today's beast fight? But now Luo Tian has sent out a wolf to lead the charge, look at this..."

  Ling Xiao rubbed his eyes and replied after a long while, "No need to worry, if we follow the previous rules of the trial, we still have reason to suspect that Luo Tian was intentionally sacrificing that wolf to save those three little ghosts. He just didn't expect the rules of the trial to change suddenly today, so even if he had any plans, they will probably fall through now. Anyway, that wolf won't last much longer, and in the end, those three little ghosts will still have to come out and fight obediently. No need to worry, let him be for now! But Luo Tian is becoming more and more unscrupulous, after this beast fight, it seems necessary to give him a friendly warning!"

  As Ling Xiao said, the sudden change in the rules of the trial caught Luo Tian off guard. Originally, according to the previous rules, both sides only needed to send out one piglet to participate, and as long as the soul beast was killed or one of the piglets died, it would be considered a win or loss. However, the new rule required that after the first participating piglet dies, a new piglet must be sent out. This made the people of Blood Refining Hell, who had thought they were already safe, start worrying about their own safety again.

  It seems that he felt the atmosphere in the iron cage suddenly become oppressive, and Helianthus stood up and said loudly: "Everyone doesn't need to worry, although the rules of the trial have changed suddenly, but this won't have any impact. All of us here will return safely to the Blood Refining Hell, because I believe that Little Wolf will cleanly and efficiently take care of that fifth-stage soul beast!"

  He Lian's words did not reassure the crowd, as no one had any hope that Xiao Lang could defeat the fifth-tier soul beast. Only Lan Youzhu turned around and gave He Lian a meaningful look, but she didn't say anything either.

  The increasingly loud noise outside finally reminded Lanyu Zhu of her next responsibility. She withdrew her gaze from Helian Nuo, smiled and looked around the viewing platform, carefully took out a delicate box from her bosom, held it in her hand and showed it off for a moment. She raised her voice and shouted loudly: "This box contains a mechanism set by skilled craftsmen. As long as I crush it, the giant lock on the cage door will automatically open. Ladies and gentlemen, please keep your eyes wide open. The second beast fight of the Blood Refining Tower Arena is about to begin! With that said, Lanyu Zhu's hand exerted a slight force, and the small box shattered into countless pieces with a loud "crack"!

  With a loud click, the giant lock on the iron cage was opened with a bang, and almost at the same time, the iron gate was heavily slammed open, and a crimson figure flashed out like lightning!

  Wow... a burst of exclamations suddenly erupted from the stage, because for most of them, it was their first time seeing something that had such a huge impact on their senses!

  That was a gigantic scorpion with a body as red as blood, its size was undoubtedly hundreds of times larger than that of ordinary scorpions, with a length of nearly four meters, enough to rival the height of an adult human. Add to that its pair of steel pincer-like claws and curved tail that swayed back and forth like a dagger, from any angle, this was a deadly weapon capable of striking fear into anyone's heart!

  At this moment, the giant scorpion is swinging its front paws towards the burly man in the Ghost Refining Hell, and although the man looks extremely fierce, he appears too small in front of such a massive opponent. Although he is still holding his hammer to confront the scorpion, everyone can see the despair and fear in his eyes.

  Since the Beast Fighting project was launched in the Blood Refining Tower, there have been almost no instances of pigs being able to kill soul beasts with their physical bodies. Compared to humans, soul beasts are undoubtedly more bloodthirsty and less afraid of pain. Therefore, most beast fighting matches end with the participants being killed and devoured by the soul beasts. The reason for launching this project is simply that the Blood Refining Tower caters to the audience's demand for bloody scenes.

  Watching the giant scorpion demonstrating its might to the participants of the Ghost Refining Hell, the small wolf felt neglected and let out a long, dissatisfied howl. Since entering the Starfall City, it had been deliberately keeping a low profile for safety reasons and had never let out a comfortable howl. Today, it got the opportunity and the small wolf wouldn't let it go. This one voice of wolf howl that shook the heavens lasted for half a cup of tea's time, the sound echoing in the vast arena, with an astonishing momentum.

  After a long time, the small wolf finally stopped its prolonged howl with satisfaction. It slowly stretched out its scarlet tongue to lick its lips, and its fiery eyes stared straight at the giant scorpion as it took steps towards it!

  It was unexpected that the giant scorpion, provoked by the little wolf, did not pounce on it as everyone had expected, but instead lowered its head to the ground, trembling with fear, as if it had seen something extremely terrifying.

  "Huh, what's wrong with that giant scorpion? Logically speaking, there shouldn't be anything in this arena that could make it feel intimidated, right? Is it... is it afraid of that ordinary little wolf?", Lan Youzhu muttered to herself in a low voice from within the Blood Refining Hell, clearly she had never seen such a bizarre scene even after working in the Blood Refining Tower for a long time. A fifth-tier soul beast was actually lying on the ground like a good little dog, what kind of logic was this?

  "What a pity, that's not an ordinary little wolf at all!", He Lianuo thought to himself with a sneer, he had expected this all along. Thinking back, in the Youyue Forest, the little wolf had scared off a sixth-tier giant tiger just with its howl. Any high-tier soul beast would have its own unique pressure, which was almost fatal to lower-tier soul beasts. And the little wolf was the descendant of the powerful Sacred-Tier soul beast, Aolongtian Lang. A mere fifth-tier giant scorpion, the little wolf could crush it just with its pressure!

  It was precisely because Helian had anticipated all of this that he could let Xiao Lang take the field with peace of mind; otherwise, given his temperament, he would have personally taken to the battlefield despite being injured. In Helian's heart, Xiao Lang's safety was more important than his own life!

  Seeing the previously intimidating giant scorpion now lying docilely on the ground, the man from Ghost Refining Hell, although also having second thoughts in his heart, was unwilling to let go of this seemingly good opportunity. After hesitating for a while, he finally gritted his teeth and crept up to the side of the giant scorpion, raising his hammer high and heavily smashing it down towards the scorpion's head!

  With a dull thud, the giant's hammer smashed onto the giant scorpion's head, not only failing to cause any harm, but also rebounding back like it had collided with steel. The giant's hands were even more severely shaken by the massive recoil force, causing his tiger mouth to crack open!

  "Ah... Oww...", this hammer didn't hurt the giant scorpion, but it did make it feel quite painful. The intense pain made him temporarily forget about his formidable opponent, and he suddenly turned around, raising his two massive front claws to grab at the big man from Ghost Refining Hell!

  That big fellow saw two steel pincer-like sharp claws coming straight at him and panicked, just as he was about to turn around and run away it was already too late. He only felt a tightness in his waist, followed by his whole body being lifted off the ground and held high up in mid-air!

  "Kill him, tear him in two!"

  "Go! Tear him to pieces!", the silent audience was finally ignited by the sudden outbreak of the giant scorpion, and the bloody scene in front of them did not make them feel intimidated, on the contrary, many people could no longer control their inner frenzy, they stood up, stretched their necks and shouted at the giant scorpion, provoking it, trying to stimulate its bloodthirstiness!

  It seemed to have sensed the will of the onlookers, and the giant scorpion's front pincers suddenly tightened, causing the man who was pinched by its pincers to let out a miserable cry, his entire body being cut in half from the middle!

  With a loud crash, the atmosphere on the stands was stirred up by this extremely cruel scene. The man who had broken his waist still hadn't died yet, his upper body twisting desperately, as if issuing from hell, a mournful and despairing cry burst out of his hoarse throat, full of desperation and unwillingness!

  It seemed that the giant scorpion was annoyed by the shouting of the Han people, so it raised its front claws to its mouth, opened its bloody big mouth and swallowed him into its belly in an instant!

  It chewed randomly for a few mouthfuls, the giant scorpion slowly turned around, its eyes, which had become frenzied due to the blood, staring fixedly at the little wolf!

  "Not good, Little Wolf, quick battle and swift victory!!"
