The porcupine is not a high level creature, only level 20, so it is not difficult to deal with.
But the problem is that the players were stripped naked before going on stage, wearing only white clothes given by the system, and they had no weapons in their hands. What could they use to fight the porcupines?
And this level 20 porcupine is only an opponent in the primary beast fighting competition. They can't beat them, and they still dream of defeating the intermediate and advanced levels?
It makes me laugh to death just thinking about it.
Even though the rules say the rewards are very generous, seeing that no one in front of them survived, the players behind them were all trembling with fear and just wanted to die on the spot.
Until it was Xia Yao's turn.
The situation on the field was suddenly reversed.
At the moment when the porcupine was about to stab her, she jumped forward, her body turned upside down, and stretched out her hand to the porcupine and pulled out a quill from its back in the blink of an eye.
The porcupine screamed in pain, and realizing that its opponent had leaped behind it, it turned around with a grunt and rushed towards its target again.
However, what awaited it was not the same panic and helplessness as its previous opponent, but a straight thorn.
Its head hit it and was pierced directly by the thorn.
The eyes of the two players who were fighting before suddenly lit up!
"Woo woo woo is the top guy on the list!"
"Big Boss is really awesome! He killed the pig in just two or three moves!"
"Everyone, learn some of the techniques she used just now. Maybe we can use them later!"
The porcupine's health bar was depleted, and the host outside the arena announced the results in surprise and enthusiasm: "Beginner Beast Fighting Competition! Congratulations to our challenger Yin Yao! She's won her first victory in the Colosseum! Let's cheer for her!"
There was a burst of warm cheers from the audience.
The dirty electronic screen showed that her personal score accumulated to 100.
Xia Yao:?
She fought a level 20 beast with nothing on her body, and only got 100 points for winning a match? How could that be considered a generous reward?
The system is a scam!
Xia Yao rolled her eyes inwardly.
But she didn't show it on her face and remained calm as always.
The porcupine died and was dragged away by staff.
Then he arranged for various beasts such as poisonous scorpions, four-legged dragons, and lizards to fight against her.
Without exception, Xia Yao sent them all to heaven.
"Interesting~"
The enchanting female NPC who watched Xia Yao's entire competition licked her lips. She hadn't seen such a pleasing beast fight in a long time. The woman on the stage... made her very excited.
An indescribable strange feeling suddenly emerged from behind her. Xia Yao glanced sideways and met the staring eyes of the charming female NPC.
Um, what was the other party’s name…?
Hong Ling?
It seems to be this.
As the other party was leading the way, Xia Yao inadvertently glanced at her name badge.
There was no time to delve into the meaning behind that undisguised look. Xia Yao shrugged and suddenly raised her hand before the next game started.
The host said with interest, "It seems our challenger has something to say. Please speak."
Xia Yao: "Are there any orcs?"
The surroundings suddenly fell into silence.
The host's sneer echoed through the microphone: "Haha, it seems our challenger today is quite courageous. However, I must solemnly remind Number 18 that orcs are not ordinary beasts. They are sturdy and powerful. Unless the challenger possesses a body of diamond, I suggest Number 18 give up the orc challenge."
Xia Yao was unmoved: "No, I want orcs."
The host was stunned. He didn't expect her to be so stubborn.
A staff member hurried over and whispered something in his ear, causing the host to beam. "Since No. 18 insists on taking on the challenge, let's get straight to the main event! Next, let's welcome the powerful orc from the Feroman Continent!"
Under the flashing colored lights, a burly male orc walked onto the stage step by step.
Xia Yao's pupils shrank slightly.
Sure enough, Rex was sold to the Colosseum as a fighting tool.
Rex was obviously surprised for a moment, but he quickly adjusted himself so that no one would notice his abnormality.
The challenge began, Xia Yao rushed forward and passed by his ear at a very tricky angle.
"Let's cooperate," she said.
Rex understood what she meant, so he hummed softly, then pretended to be thrown to the ground, then glared at Xia Yao fiercely and pretended to wave his fists.
Unfortunately, his punches were always a beat too slow for the opponent, not only failing to hit him, but also putting him in a passive situation.
The host watched with thrilling excitement. He cheered for the orcs at the top of his voice, provided commentary to the audience, and predicted who would fall first.
Three minutes later, the orc fell to the ground "seriously injured" and was carried off the field by the staff.
There was a burst of booing from the audience. The host took out a handkerchief, wiped the sweat off his face, announced the result of the game, and asked No. 18 whether he wanted to press on with the victory and continue the game.
Xia Yao shook her head, indicating that she didn't want to fight anymore.
The Colosseum has always respected the winners. The host did not express any objection. The barbed wire slowly rose and she walked down the ring without any hindrance.
After putting on her own equipment, Hong Ling continued to be responsible for leading her.
When they were walking down from the second floor to the first, Xia Yao suddenly heard her say quietly, "There will be severe punishment for match-fixing."
Xia Yao smiled faintly and said nothing: "Oh, really."
The person in front stopped, turned around slowly, stared at Xia Yao with burning eyes for a long while, smiled and said: "But don't worry, I won't tell the boss~"
Xia Yao's eyes flickered slightly, but she said nothing.
Hong Ling pouted, seemingly dissatisfied with her reaction. "I know you're still wary of me, but just ask anyone in the field who the boss trusts the most. It has to be me. So as long as I don't tell him, he won't know anything."
"Why help me?"
No reward without merit. Xia Yao didn't think a stranger would help her for no reason.
Hearing her words, Hong Ling suddenly smiled and came closer, looking at her closely, exhaling coldly: "Because, I like you very much~"
In just a few breaths, Xia Yao heard a voice exploding in her head.
"Fuck you! How dare you snatch someone in front of me?! Don't you even consider your own breed? Do you think you're worthy of me?"
Xia Yao:......
Forcefully suppressing the roar in her head, she composed herself and chuckled, "Okay, do me a favor?"
When the three Buddhas reached the Colosseum in the dungeon of Ares City, they discovered that there seemed to be a commotion.
Generally, such emergencies mean that an important plot has occurred.
He quickly took back the 300 gold in his hand and slipped to the back of the Colosseum following the noise.
A whip fell to the ground, throwing out a ball of light like a firecracker, and instantly a row of small pits were created on the ground.
Holy crap, what an awesome skill!
The three Buddhas squatted behind the garbage dump, trying to peek inside.
I saw a man in a suit with a sheep's face and a human body standing on the ground, pinching the woman's face tightly with his left hand. The woman had a painful expression on her face and was struggling with her limbs, but she still couldn't escape from the man's grasp.
"Hong Ling, ah, Hong Ling, a hundred years have passed. Are you still dreaming that someone will come to rescue you?" The sheep-faced man's lips opened and closed, and the sound he made was dry and unpleasant.
Hong Ling glared at him fiercely with her eyes slanted, gritting her teeth and saying nothing.
The sheep-faced man said, "Just give up on this idea. Who do you think you are? Do you think you deserve to have a contractor? I've been waiting for a hundred years. Even if the contractor appeared, he would have died long ago according to human lifespan. You don't have a contractor at all. You'd better just work honestly in the Colosseum!"
Hong Ling laughed and spat, "That's all you've got. You're just trying to cheat people everywhere and bring in these naive little monsters. Just wait, they'll tear you to pieces sooner or later!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the whip hit her directly.
Hong Ling groaned in pain, and blood slowly seeped out from under her beautiful skin.
Unable to bear seeing the good-looking NPC being bullied, Sandao Buddha has a strong sense of justice in his heart and rushes out to save people!
Unexpectedly, a hand was placed on his shoulder from behind, and he was so scared that he almost screamed.
"It's the President! You scared me to death." He covered his pounding chest and breathed a sigh of relief. "Hey, that's not right. President, what are you doing here?"
Xia Yao quietly made a shushing gesture: "Come over and do something."
Sandao Buddha suddenly realized and lowered his voice: "Oh, me too."
Even though he felt his own issues had nothing to do with the current plot, he still felt like participating since he was already here.
As for Xia Yao, she felt that since Hong Ling had helped her, she couldn't just take the benefits and walk away, right?
Just 10 minutes ago, Hong Ling helped her get Rex out and moved him to a safe place, and Eugene's whereabouts were also found out.
Although her starting point and that of the Three Buddhas are different, their goals are the same.
So he said, "That goat-faced man is the owner of the Colosseum. He's captured a lot of animals for the competition. The woman is a staff member. I'll distract the goat-faced man while you grab the person from the side. Is that okay?"
Three Buddhas: "Totally OK."
Heroes saving beauties, just thinking about it makes me happy~
The two of them divided the work and cooperated with each other.
The sheep-faced man was caught off guard by Xia Yao. His left hand loosened, and the person in his hand was taken away by the three Buddhas who appeared!
At the same time, there was a dinging sound in the three Buddhas' ears, as if the system had rung.
But he didn't have time to check and ran away with the female NPC in his arms!
Seeing this, the sheep-faced man wanted to chase after him, but Xia Yao threw a [Soul Rest] at him.
He was hit all at once and couldn't move.
Then something fell out of my pocket.
Xia Yao picked it up and took a look, oh my!
What fun!
He put it directly into his pocket, gave the goat a few more moves, and then hurried away.
On the other side, Hong Ling stared at the man in front of her in shock. Who the hell was that? How dare he hug her so casually?!
She pounded on Sandafo's chest angrily, "Put me down! You bastard, don't touch me!"
Three Buddhas:?
"I saved you!"
Please understand, I am your savior!
Unexpectedly, the person on his chest groaned: "She saved me, not you."
Three Buddhas: ???
He was so stupid that he actually saved an ungrateful person.
Forget it, we’ve already saved it, can we just throw it back?
Rolling his eyes countless times in his heart, Sandao Buddha carried her to an empty corner of the dungeon and gently put her down: "Whatever you say, you are free anyway, let's go."
Hong Ling suddenly blinked, stared at the person in front of her, and hummed meaningfully.
The Three Buddhas covered their chests with their hands: "What are you doing? No indecent assault allowed!"
"Oh, you're overthinking it." Hong Ling tutted, her face showing disdain, but she sniffed around him, "Why do you smell like my sister?"
Sandao Buddha was stunned: "Your sister? Who is she?"
As soon as he finished speaking, suddenly a burst of hot power burst out from his body!
Damn, it's this familiar feeling again.
This was his reaction when the red dragon came out of his body.
He looked back and, sure enough, saw half of a giant red dragon appear from behind him, floating in the air, with its head staring straight at Hong Ling.
Hong Ling's eyes widened.
"elder sister……?!"
"Oh my god, sister, have you been sealed by this guy?!"
Otherwise, how could it come out of his body?
The red dragon's beard fluttered up and down. He didn't answer Hong Ling's question, but said in a particularly cold tone: "You actually work in the Colosseum!"
When did the proud dragon race ever stoop so low as to do such menial work!
Flames seemed to be coming out of the red dragon's eyes.
Hong Ling whimpered in fear and stepped back repeatedly.
Just at this moment, Xia Yao caught up.
She looked at the flaming red dragon behind the Three Buddhas, and the weak and pitiful Hong Ling in the corner, and raised her hand: "Wait a minute!"
Three pairs of eyes looked at her at the same time.
She fumbled in her pocket until she finally pulled out a palm-sized card and shoved it into Hong Ling's hand. "This is your soul contract. I stole it from the goat. From now on, you no longer belong to the Colosseum. You can do whatever you want."
The flames in the red dragon's eyes suddenly went out.
Hong Ling opened her mouth wide, her face filled with disbelief: "You...you actually got it...!"
The soul contracts of all their staff were tightly covered by the goat. They tried countless times, but each time they were discovered by the alert goat and were beaten to scare them.
Hong Ling felt sorry for those companions who were beaten and bruised all over, and always took the initiative to apply medicine to them.
In an accident, she accidentally triggered her ability - healing!
So he began to secretly treat his companion while carrying the goat.
It's okay if it happens once or twice, but if it happens too many times, you won't be able to hide it.
The goat discovered her special ability and began to expand the Colosseum even more recklessly.
The beast you bought has a wound? Don't be afraid, let Hong Ling treat it.
Killed by a challenger in the ring? No matter, Hong Ling has the ability to bring the dead back to life.
She could feel her energy draining away, and many nights she planned to escape.
However, it always ends in failure!
It was not until later that she and her companions discovered that the goat had secretly taken away part of their souls and imprisoned them on a small card called a soul contract. As long as they did not get this thing back, they could be found even if they escaped to the ends of the earth.
From then on she completely gave up hope and became a walking corpse.
But God gave her a glimmer of hope when she was in despair - she had her own contractor.
As long as the other party can find her and sign a contract with her, she can take back the soul contract and become a free person from then on!
She waited and waited, full of hope, for a hundred years.
But that person never showed up.
When she was about to fall into a new round of despair, a person walked into her sight!
"It must be you, you must be my contractor!" She grabbed Xia Yao, so happy that she could hardly control herself.
Xia Yao hissed: "That..."
Then, a hoarse roar came from within his body: "Damn monster! Let go of your claws, she's mine! Do you dare to try to take her?"
This time the roar was so loud that the Three Buddhas, Red Dragon and Hong Ling could all hear it.
The Three Buddhas who are completely out of touch with reality: ???
Did he seem to have missed something?
The red dragon said nothing, waiting for the situation to change.
Only Hong Ling, her beautiful face cracked little by little, staring at Xia Yao with a pair of eyes that could not get any bigger.
After a while, he finally realized what was happening amidst the emotions of shock, suspicion, impossibility, and how could it be possible: "You have a contract partner...?!"
Bazel hummed proudly and separated his soul from Xia Yao's body, just like a red dragon emerging from the bodies of three Buddhas. He put his hands on his hips and said, "You little bastard, you still want to steal my girlfriend? Don't you think you are any better? You haven't even grown all your hair yet. Wait a few hundred years before you tell me~"
Hong Ling: "...It's you!"
Bazel: “Yes, it’s me!”
Recalling what happened before, Hong Ling shivered with anger, and her body swelled up in an instant. In a blink of an eye, her beautiful body peeled off like painted skin, and was replaced by a silver-white winding dragon body!
The three Buddhas looked up at the sky: What the hell!
It turned out to be a little white dragon!
Oh no, a dragon? And a white one?
Isn’t his hidden profession also a dragon?
And just now this dragon called his own dragon "sister"...
Damn! His mission!
Finally remembering what he was here for, Sandao Fo quickly opened the taskbar.
I don't know when that search mission became completed!
Oh my god, this is so ridiculous! It’s obviously a dragon, why is it called a little white snake?
Sandao Fo didn't know whether to cry for taking such a crappy task, or laugh for being so lucky that he completed it by accident, so he could only click on the task reward with both tears and laughter.
Then suddenly, the Ren and Du meridians seemed to be opened.
He actually heard two other voices besides the president's and Xiaobailong's!
Bazel: "Oh my, the young man finally got your approval, Red Dragon."
Red Dragon: "I can't help it. Seeing how silly he was just now, I couldn't bear it."
Bazel: "Just tell me straight, Hong Ling is your brother who was lost for 100 years. He helped you rescue him this time, so you recognize him~"
The amount of information was so overwhelming that the Three Buddhas were even more confused than before.
Xia Yao looked at him, walked up to him and patted his shoulder.
"Ah, it's like this. Hong Long is the older sister, and Hong Ling is the younger brother. But Hong Ling has a special physique. He doesn't grow very big. He's about the size you see. To the dragon clan, he's probably just a snake."
She knew that Sandaofo had a mission to find the little white snake, and she had seen it in the guild before.
But I didn't expect that the person he was referring to was Hong Ling.
And it's a male little white dragon...
If Xia Yao hadn't seen his soul contract, she would never have guessed that this guy had a transvestite fetish.
At this time, the expressions of the three Buddhas had been split in two.
"Then... why... are there suddenly other voices in my head? And I can hear the voice of the guy behind you?"
Xia Yao: "? That's not extra, your dragon can speak naturally, she's not dumb, it's just that you haven't been recognized by her before, and you're not her successor, so she didn't give you permission to listen. The same thing goes for the guy behind me, can't you see his mouth moving the whole time? He's talking the whole time too."
Three Buddhas: ...
Why does it feel like he's the superfluous one in this friendship between three of us? TT
