Chapter 305: Gambling Beast, Beast King No. 1!
After entering the room, Yu Ren’er saw Xing Ke, and her expression instantly turned cold.
“Sister Yu, is this the acquaintance you mentioned?”
Yu She smiled and said, “You and Xing Ke are not familiar? You grew up together since you were young, you should be childhood friends, right?”
Yu Ren’er’s expression turned even colder, “Yu She, you can eat whatever you want, but you can’t say whatever you want.”
Yu Ren’er has a very good personality, and their relationship has always been good, they have never had any arguments.
Yu She’s smile froze.
This is the first time the other party has shown this attitude.
Both of them stood awkwardly in place.
Yu Ren’er turned her head and looked towards Su Shi, cautiously saying, “I didn’t know Xing Ke would be here, how about… should we leave?”
Her worry wasn’t about the unexpected encounter itself, she was just worried that he would be angry because of this.
Su Shi didn’t mind, sitting on the chair, “No problem, since you’re here, I’m actually quite interested in this beast fight.”
“Okay.” Yu Ren’er obediently sat beside him.
Seeing her completely changed appearance, Yu She couldn’t help but feel confused.
Who exactly is this man? He actually made Yu Ren’er care so much?
Not far away, Bai Zhi whispered, “Brother Xing Ke, your dream lover is here, why are you still indifferent? Hurry up and go say hello.”
“Cough!” Xing Ke shook his head, “What dream lover, you’re exaggerating. We’re just… ordinary friends.”
After experiencing the last incident, they couldn’t even be considered as friends anymore.
Saying this was just to save face.
Bai Zhi frowned slightly, feeling that something was not right.
Xing Ke has always been arrogant and proud, never hiding his affection for Yu Ren’er, and he has said it publicly more than once, that only he is worthy of Yu Ren’er.
With his identity and strength, he indeed has the qualifications to say such things.
But now he is acting unusually low-key, going a bit overboard.
“Could it be that he was rejected and his self-esteem was hurt?” Bai Zhi pondered secretly.
Looking at the man sitting beside Yu Ren’er, Bai Zhi’s frown deepened, “That person seems a bit unfamiliar, I wonder if Xing Ke knows him?”
In people impression, there has never been an opposite sex person beside Yu Ren’er.
This is also the first time in history.
Xing Ke also noticed that man.
He had an ordinary appearance and would blend into a crowd without standing out.
But there was something strange about his aura.
It was unclear which tribe he belonged to, and his specific cultivation level couldn’t be discerned either, as if it was deliberately concealed.
Xing Ke seemed to have thought of something, and his pupils suddenly contracted.
“It couldn’t be him, right?! Thinking carefully, besides that person, who else could be so close to Yu Ren’er?” Xing Ke swallowed his saliva, his eyes drifting away, afraid to look in that direction.
He still remembered the terrifying aura from the other person.
Just one glance made him lose the ability to resist! Who knew they would encounter this slaughter god?
Only to see the gates on both sides of the arena slowly open, several strong wolves leading the way, dragging ferocious beasts with mouthguards and chains.
Suddenly, the noisy audience became quiet.
They walked into the arena.
The beasts had their numbers marked in iron-red paint, growling impatiently with blood-red eyes filled with violent killing intent.
Each one of them had countless kills, extremely savage and ferocious monsters! But the spectators showed no fear, instead cheering excitedly.
Su Shi asked, “It seems like these are the ‘participants’ in the beast fight?”
Yu Ren’er nodded, “That’s correct.”
As the name suggests, the beast arena is a place where ferocious beasts fight and kill. In the barbarian realm, this kind of thing is not uncommon and is a way for the wealthy and nobles to entertain themselves.
The reason why the beast arena in Kodo City is famous is because the strength of the fierce beasts is formidable, ranging from the Foundation Establishment stage at the very least, and there may even be Nascent Soul stage fierce demons.
On the other hand, here you can bet on the beasts.
Spectators can place bets on the beasts they support, with no upper limit. If they survive until the end, they can earn a fortune! Of course, most people end up losing everything.
The beast arena is also one of the “pillar industries” of Kodo City.
Next to each seat, there is a tray floating with numbers corresponding to the numbers on the beasts.
As long as the spiritual stones are placed on the corresponding numbers, it counts as a successful bet.
The audience discussed which beast had a higher chance of winning while pulling out handfuls of spiritual stones from their pockets.
And in the air, there was a semi-transparent light screen that corresponded in real-time to the amount of bets placed on each beast.
Bai Zhi laughed and said, “Since we’re here, let’s join in the fun as well.”
With a casual wave, the spiritual stones rolled into the tray and disappeared in a flash of light.
“Five-tier high-grade spiritual stone, bet on beast number one.”
The number of bets on beast number one suddenly increased.
Bai Zhi said, “Let me tell you a little secret. This beast was captured from the wasteland. It is a beast king at the Golden Core stage, and its strength should be the strongest among these beasts.”
Only to see that beast number one resembled a fierce lion, with a tail like a steel whip, and a deep scar at the corner of its eye. Its aura was indeed more fierce than the other beasts.
Yu She, however, did not follow Bai Zhi’s suggestion and poured the spiritual stones into the tray. “Five-tier high-grade spiritual stone, bet on beast number two.”
Bai Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly. “It seems like Miss Yu wants to give me the spiritual stones.”
Yu She sneered, “The outcome is uncertain. Isn’t Bai Young Master too confident?”
The atmosphere suddenly turned cold.
Watching the tense standoff between the two, Yu Ren’er transmitted her voice, “This Bai Zhi is from the Eagle Clan, and the Eagle Clan has a tense relationship with the Snake Clan. He and Yu She have always been arch-enemies.”
Su Shi understood.
In the barbarian realm, each tribe is equivalent to a small nation. The relationships between them are complex, with allies and naturally enemies.
Xing Ke took out a spiritual stone. “Five-tier, bet on beast number one.”
On the light screen in the air, the number of bets on beast number one was far ahead.
Anyone with keen eyes could see that, in terms of strength and momentum, beast number one was the strongest among these beasts.
Bai Zhi looked at Yu Ren’er. “Miss Yu, which one do you plan to bet on?” Yu Ren’er didn’t answer but looked at Su Shi.
“Brother, what do you think?” Bai Zhi was taken aback.
Asking that man for his opinion in this matter? What kind of relationship do these two have?
He turned his head and saw Xing Ke looking around, seemingly oblivious to this scene.
Bai Zhi couldn’t help but feel even more curious.
What exactly is Xing Ke being cautious about?
Before Su Shi could finish speaking, there was a sudden cry from the spectator seats.
Only to see a figure being thrown into the beast arena!
