Why are you all surrounding me? Go and break up the fight!
They didn't know Ian's abilities. If he used his special skill to prevent Arthur from transforming into a beast, wouldn't that be the end of them?
Carlos's problem hasn't been solved yet, and now with Arthur added to the mix, they really can't leave.
"Xiaoxiao, be a good girl and hide obediently behind us."
Qianye: "Yeah, they won't let us go unless we fight. Let Arthur fight. Can't he beat a Reverse Ring? Don't be afraid."
Guo Xiaoxiao shouted at the top of her lungs
"Arthur, be careful. He's a Five-Star Ring Inherited Beastman. His ability is to suppress the beastman transformation of other beastmen. Carlos was affected; he couldn't even transform into a snake beast."
Huh? The group's eyes were fixed on Carlos's legs. Right, this guy wasn't using his snake tail to move.
The serpent beast dislikes walking on two legs; its tail is fast and agile, and by staying close to the ground, it can sense its surroundings. If someone suddenly attacks it, a sweep of its tail is incredibly powerful.
Cang Jue: "Dead snake, you can't transform into a beast anymore?"
Carlos remained silent; how shameful, utterly humiliating.
Mickelson: "It's probably true, but he won't answer."
Cang Jue couldn't help but mock him a few times.
"Retribution! Now you'll taste the bitterness of weakened abilities. Walking without a snake's tail must be quite inconvenient, won't it?"
Guo Xiaoxiao complained
"I told you to be careful of Ian's abilities, not to laugh at Carlos. It's best not to fight. Go and stop Arthur."
They're all so anxious, how can they still have the leisure to mock others?
Cang Jue scratched his head: "It's not that I don't want to stop him, but if Arthur really wants to fight, can we stop him? He won't let us go unless we beat him."
Guo Xiaoxiao was now in a dilemma, seeing that the two were ready to leave at any moment and were already preparing.
"Great Shaman, you can't abandon us!"
"Let's go back to the tribe."
The leopard beast said
"Me, sigh..."
Guo Xiaoxiao sighed.
…
"I'll test your abilities."
Ian spoke quickly, his eyes gleaming with excitement. In a formal duel, Ian was very principled and wouldn't immediately seal Arthur's beast form.
"My strength is definitely superior to yours, there's no doubt about it."
Arthur's indifferent reply
"Is that so? How about we have a contest? If I lose, I'll let you go; if I win, the High Priest must stay here."
Ian's conditions were what he had planned: his tribe must possess the power of witchcraft; he would win, not lose; and if all else failed, they would suppress his abilities.
It's a terrible situation, but it's the only way out.
"OK"
Arthur readily agreed. Guo Xiaoxiao tried to stop him, but was stopped by Miken and the others, who advised that it was best for females not to participate in battles between males.
Why refuse such a simple exchange? Isn't it obvious that you'd be at a disadvantage?
He'll have to show Arthur and the others later that Ian is the king of the East.
"Then you go first."
Arthur moved aside.
"Then you'd better be careful."
As Ian spoke, he made the first move, transforming into a leopard and leaping nimbly towards Arthur.
Arthur, not to be outdone, charged forward. The leopard was agile, its claws sharp, but Arthur, with his supple and nimble body, dodged and transformed into a tiger, pouncing and tearing at it.
Ian was agile and swift, dodging the attack and then turning to bite Arthur's neck.
Arthur kicked Ian away and pounced again. The two became entangled, Arthur's fierce attacks and Ian's steady defense and agile movements around Arthur. Each had their natural advantages: Arthur was strong in strength, and Ian was fast in speed. For a moment, neither could gain the upper hand.
Guo Xiaoxiao looked at the two of them with worry, still hoping that Arthur would win.
Randy patted Guo Xiaoxiao's shoulder lightly.
"Xiaoxiao, don't worry, Arthur will definitely win. We just need to wait and see."
Mickelson comforted
"We'll leave once we know the score."
"oh…"
Clearly unaware of the seriousness of the problem, Guo Xiaoxiao had no choice but to comply, hoping that Arthur wouldn't fall victim to it.
After a fierce fight, both men were injured, with Ian in significantly worse condition; the bloodstain on his neck had deepened, and blood was gushing out.
Ian licked the bright red liquid from the corner of his mouth, revealing a bloodthirsty smile as he stared at Arthur, his eyes filled with cruelty.
Arthur wiped the blood from his lips, straightened his back, and returned to human form. A bead of sweat glistened on his forehead; clearly, he had won.
"let's go"
Damn it, it still doesn't work. I'm really that weak.
Ian was unwilling to accept it. Why was he so vulnerable and helpless against the Reverse Star Ring Orcs when he didn't have a stronger body or more agile limbs?
"Hey, you lost, we're leaving."
Cang Jue reminded him, his eyes revealing stubbornness, afraid that Ian would change his mind and call out the people of the tribe to turn against them. They were already injured like this, yet he was still thinking about something insignificant.
However, he couldn't be blamed. A female as beautiful as Guo Xiaoxiao would be the object of desire for any beastman, and Cang Jue was already convinced that Ian had fallen for her.
Didn't he fall for Guo Xiaoxiao at first sight?
"snort"
Ian snorted coldly, glancing reluctantly at Guo Xiaoxiao. He couldn't let her leave; she hadn't cured his illness yet, and he absolutely couldn't let her go.
She left and joined another tribe, meaning the White Stone Tribe could never become the strongest tribe on the Wilderness Continent.
There are reasons why he can't leave; it's not that he likes her, he's just doing it for the sake of the tribe.
In conclusion, he was "forced" to use his ability to suppress Arthur—no, to suppress them all, ensuring none of them could leave, so that Guo Xiaoxiao could stay in the tribe in peace.
Ian's pupils shifted colors, and an aura of evil swept over everyone.
Arthur felt an invisible force that made his scalp tingle and his body stiffen, as if frozen in place. He couldn't move, not even lift a finger.
Ian's skills are very stamina-intensive, and this time it was a large-area release, causing him considerable pain. However, to prevent others from stealing Guo Xiaoxiao and causing losses to the tribe, this sacrifice was worthwhile.
Arthur turned his head with difficulty to look at Mickson and the others. His condition was similar to Arthur's; he felt as if a stone was stuck in his chest.
Carlos, who was already under control, showed no unusual behavior, but judging from the expressions of the others, he knew that Ian was up to something again.
Carlos struck first, attacking Ian. The leopard beasts tried to stop him, but in an instant, all their abilities were suppressed, and they could no longer transform into their beast forms.
Okay, fine, you wouldn't listen to advice, serves you right. Guo Xiaoxiao really wanted to point her finger at them and yell at them.
Why don't a few of you rush up, pin him down, knock him unconscious, and run away? Why insist on a one-on-one fight? Is there any sense of martial ethics involved? He's not going to follow any martial ethics with you, let's see what you do then.
Oh no!
Several of them could sense that their abilities were being suppressed. They could unleash their full power in human form, but they couldn't transform into beasts, putting them at a slight disadvantage in a real fight.
Ian covered his wound
"If you want to, I'll lift the restrictions on you. Just stay in the tribe."
After saying that, he winked at the surrounding leopards, signaling them to prepare to capture the person.
Arthur: "They actually have this kind of inheritance ability."
Guo Xiaoxiao said dejectedly
