Chapter 200 – 199: Beast Fight
“Welcome everyone to the Grand Animal Fighting Arena for today’s auction,” Xu Xi’s voice once again resonated throughout the venue. The cheering also subsided a lot.

“Since it’s the Grand Animal Fighting Arena, before the auction, we always need some appetizers. Today’s experience will definitely make you feel it’s worthwhile. Next, we’ll have three beast fight performances. Today’s beast fights will not accept bets, so just cheer to your heart’s content, hahahaha!” Xu Xi laughed unrestrainedly.

Three beast fights?

Tang San looked at Zhang Haoxuan, who shook his head, indicating that he also didn’t know about this arrangement.

“The first fight is between Demon Beasts. Let us release the most ferocious and brutal Bloodthirsty Battle Bear and the most terrifying, lurking in the shadows Demon Scorpion.”

All the light beams in the Grand Animal Fighting Arena gathered inward, focusing on the animal fighting arena’s field.

Two of the strongest beams of light respectively landed on two sides of the animal fighting arena. Only then did Tang San see that on both sides there were huge gates. Accompanied by the slow rise of the massive metal gates, a series of deep roars came from within.

The terrifying roars were deafening, and in the next instant, before the gates were fully opened, one side already had a colossal figure squeezing out.

A giant bear over seven meters tall, with dark red fur, had already charged out. It stood on its hind legs and powerfully slammed its paws against its chest, producing a “boom” sound. Its eyes had turned completely blood-red. Its fierce aura burst out wildly, mixed with a strong stench of blood. Bloodthirsty Battle Bear!

On the other side, the gate opened, and a deep purple Demon Scorpion crawled out.

It was also over five meters in length, with a long stinger arching up from its back, and its giant claws emitted a chilling glint. The claws were over two meters long and one meter wide. Anything caught between them would surely die.

Both were Demon Beasts, and from their auras, they were clearly of the Eighth Stage Level.

After the two Demon Beasts entered the arena, they naturally saw Xu Xi in the center of the field. Almost pausing just for a moment, they both charged towards Xu Xi with a frenzy in their movement.

Xu Xi laughed heartily, spreading his four robust arms wide. As the two giant beasts neared him, he suddenly balled his fists and struck out.

A deep booming sound filled the air, and the Bloodthirsty Battle Bear and the Demon Scorpion were almost simultaneously sent flying by the blasts, tumbling across the ground.

Xu Xi snorted disdainfully, “Put on a good show. Defeating your opponent is the only way you have a chance to live.” As he said this, he then strode away. Only when he reached the edge of the arena did the two Demon Beasts climb back up, growling angrily as they looked at each other, neither daring to look in Xu Xi’s direction again.

At the Eighth Stage, they also possessed a certain level of intelligence, understanding Xu Xi’s words. They could also clearly feel Xu Xi’s terror.

The Bloodthirsty Battle Bear was the first to move; it suddenly quickened its steps, charging aggressively towards the Demon Scorpion on the opposite side. The ground of the animal fighting arena thundered under its heavy footsteps. Its eyes emitted a blood-red radiance, and its already muscular body suddenly seemed even more robust. Muscles bulged as it entered a Berserk State.

When in a Bloodthirsty state, a Bloodthirsty Battle Bear’s defense, attack, and speed would increase tremendously, although its intelligence would greatly decrease. The dark red fur on its body bristled with a fearsome force as it charged furiously.

Tang San internally assessed that the Bloodthirsty Battle Bear’s combat strength was definitely higher than that of the Winged Tiger of the same stage, especially in head-to-head combat.

For the Winged Tiger to defeat it, it would first need to maintain a distance and use Wind Protective Energy for long-range attacks, only then would it have a chance to win.

“Roar—” At that moment, the Bloodthirsty Battle Bear let out a mad roar. A dark red halo surged out from around its body.

The Demon Scorpion in the midst of moving suddenly became enveloped in the dark red hue, instantly, the Demon Scorpion itself assumed a layer of dark red. Originally calmly sidestepping and looking for opportunities, it abruptly accelerated, charging straight for the Bloodthirsty Battle Bear.

“Eh? Its bloodthirst ability can even infect opponents. Clearly, the Demon Scorpion has been affected, and its fighting spirit has soared.”

Obviously, the Bloodthirsty Battle Bear’s innate bloodthirst ability is not so simple, it doesn’t just enhance its own strength, but can also make the opponent bloodthirsty. Although the Scorpion has not gone berserk, sheer bloodlust can increase combativeness, but it also greatly impacts intelligence!

The abilities of Demon Beasts are so bizarre it’s clear why the Monsters are so powerful.

The two parties collided in the blink of an eye. The Bloodthirsty Battle Bear suddenly pounced, its right forepaw swelling to twice its size mid-air and, with its claws, it swiped fiercely at the Demon Scorpion.

The Demon Scorpion swung one massive pincer to meet the bear’s paw, while the other pincer opened wide, snapping toward the neck of the Bloodthirsty Battle Bear.

“Bang”, in terms of power, the Bloodthirsty Battle Bear held the absolute advantage, smacking the giant pincer with its massive paw onto the ground. At the same time, its robust body surged forward, taking advantage of the moment before the other giant pincer could clamp around its neck. With its other paw, it struck down, slamming the pincer onto the ground. Its head lowered, it rammed fiercely into the head of the Demon Scorpion.

In terms of strength, it was apparent that the Demon Scorpion was at an absolute disadvantage, being oppressed by the Bloodthirsty Battle Bear’s unrestrained combat style.

But at that moment, something unexpected happened.

A glint of icy coldness flashed through the eyes of the Demon Scorpion, and the short legs beneath its abdomen suddenly exerted force. The two pincers that were pinned down by the bear’s paws suddenly detached from its body, and it leaped backward and upward.

The Bloodthirsty Battle Bear’s leap came to nothing but air.

What happened? Did the Demon Scorpion intentionally break off its own pair of giant pincers?

While all the onlookers were shocked, the icy cold light in the eyes of the Demon Scorpion flickered, and its long scorpion tail lashed down fiercely.

The timing of this strike was perfect, just as the Bloodthirsty Battle Bear pounced and slammed into the ground, unable to halt its momentum.

With a “pfft”, the tail stinger of the Demon Scorpion had already viciously pierced one of the eyes of the Bloodthirsty Battle Bear.

“Roar—” The intense pain caused the Bloodthirsty Battle Bear to roar madly, its paw lightning-fast grabbing the scorpion tail of the Demon Scorpion. It was then that something strange happened. The two pincers that had been knocked to the ground suddenly sprang up, one fiercely clamping onto the neck of the Battle Bear, while the other severed the scorpion tail.

Tang San’s eyes shimmered as he just managed to discern with the help of his Spirit Rhinoceros Eye that the seemingly severed pair of giant pincers were still connected to the body by two tendon-like flesh threads and were not actually broken. Moreover, they could still be controlled.

Clearly, the Demon Scorpion had not been significantly affected by the bloodlust from the very beginning but had set such a trap for the Bloodthirsty Battle Bear in an instant.

After breaking off its tail, the Demon Scorpion used the pincer clamped on the neck of the Bloodthirsty Battle Bear to pull itself up into a leap, landing on the bear’s back. The other pincer also retracted and fiercely smashed toward the head of the Bloodthirsty Battle Bear, exactly where the stinger had penetrated an eye.

“Bang”, the robust body of the Bloodthirsty Battle Bear stumbled, and as it attempted to struggle, its body began to spasm violently.

The scorpion’s tail stinger is known to be highly poisonous, and given that it belonged to the Demon Scorpion, one can only imagine the toxicity, which entered through the eye.

Tang San also noticed a detail, the Demon Scorpion’s pincer strength was obviously great, but it failed to sever the Bloodthirsty Battle Bear’s neck, only clamping down without breaking its skin. This showed how incredibly strong the Bloodthirsty Battle Bear’s defenses were. However, no matter how tough the physique, it couldn’t protect the eye, and in the end, it fell to the scheme.
