A brief silence fell over the field in Chapter 437.
A brief silence fell over the field in Chapter 437.
Suddenly, a hyena attacked Shi Nie from behind.
After a short, rapid dash, it suddenly gathers its strength, pushes off the ground with its hind legs, and leaps into the air.
The target is his defensive midfield position.
Shi Nie sensed danger approaching, but he did not turn around.
Just as the hyena bared its fangs, thinking victory was assured, Shi Nie suddenly swung its long tail.
"——Crack!"
Several sharp cracks followed, accompanied by the hyena's mournful howl, as its ribs and spine snapped.
Its body was flung away like trash.
The hyena's howl became the call to attack.
Almost simultaneously, several hyenas leaped up from all around and pounced on Shi Nie.
A pair of fierce, bloodthirsty eyes were fixed on Shi Nie's injured legs, arms, and shoulders, as well as his relatively vulnerable throat, abdomen, and lower back.
Time seemed to stretch out in an instant.
Faced with the encirclement and attack, Shi Nie made a move.
His eyes turned cold, and he suddenly unleashed extreme speed and power to meet the hyena charging at him head-on.
A large hand instantly pressed down on the neck of a hyena.
"Crack!"
With a little force, I snapped its neck.
With his left hand, he grabbed the open mouth of another hyena, forcefully prying open its upper and lower jaws.
"Woo!"
The hyena's whimper was still muffled in its throat when the sound of bones being crushed exploded in my ears.
Shi Nie dragged the two hyena carcasses, as if wielding two weapons, and swept away all the hyenas that pounced at him.
The hyena that was swept away did not die.
Some, though severely injured, managed to stand up unsteadily under the influence of the drugs and joined their companions in launching another attack.
They are completely unaware of fear; all they see is a thirst for flesh and blood.
The hyenas also had a numerical advantage in the battle.
Despite his strong physique and agile skills, Shi Nie was still attacked under the combined offensive.
Multiple bite wounds appeared on his body.
After tasting the blood, the hyenas' attacks became increasingly urgent and ferocious.
Faced with the current situation, Shi Nie was also enraged.
He lowered his eyes to look at the hideous wound on his arm, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
He caught a hyena that attacked from behind, clamped his hands around its upper and lower jaws, and with the immense strength that erupted from his arms, tore it in two.
Tear it——!
A chilling sound.
That was the dull sound of flesh and bones being forcibly torn apart.
Warm entrails and fresh blood rained down on Shi Nie, splattering him all over.
The audience, witnessing this scene, did not find it bloody or cruel; on the contrary, they felt their blood boiling and cheered wave after wave.
Shi Nie slammed the mangled torso in his hand into the other hyenas, sending them flying.
Some hyenas even gave up fighting and began to gnaw on the corpses of their companions.
Shi Nie's battle was not over, nor did the hyenas' attacks stop.
The muscles in his arm bulged, and he turned abruptly, his right hand transforming into a claw, which plunged into the abdomen of a hyena like a blade.
Another mournful howl rang out as the hyena's limbs thrashed about in mid-air, unable to find any foothold or harm Shi Nie in the slightest.
Shi Nie pressed down on its head with his other hand, and with a grab and tug at its abdomen, its internal organs and intestines were forcibly pulled out.
The hyena's struggles stopped abruptly, and it finally breathed its last.
At this moment, the hyena pack hesitated in its fierce attack.
They were clearly shocked by these brutal methods.
The low growl escaping from his throat sounded like a warning, or perhaps a communication between team members about adjusting their strategies.
"Roar--"
Shi Nie's roar burst forth, instantly drowning out the hyena's deep voice.
That roar was not just a beastly cry to intimidate the opponent, but also came from the trenches of the strong.
He held back, each swing of his claws leaving a fatal wound on the hyena.
Shi Nie also suffered many new injuries, and the ground was littered with the remains of many hyenas.
A hyena bit Shi Nie's injured side. He swiftly pressed down on its skull with his hand, his fingers tightening suddenly. "Crack!" The skull instantly deformed and cracked.
The hyenas on the field were eliminated one by one as the game progressed.
As a mournful cry faded away, the last hyena's head was ripped off by Shi Nie, and scalding blood gushed out like a spring, splattering all over his face.
The scene on the field was horrifying and bloody.
Mutilated limbs, ruptured internal organs, and blood staining the ground red.
Shi Nie stood alone amidst the mountain of corpses and pools of blood, his body covered in blood and grime, some of it his own, but mostly from the hyenas.
He slowly calmed the violent heaving in his chest, then raised the hyena's head high. Chin held high, his gaze sweeping across the audience, proclaiming the final victory.
A brief silence fell over the field.
One second, two seconds...
Immediately following was a tremendous cheer, the shouts echoing throughout the arena.
Shi Nie tossed the hyena's head into the audience, where several beast demons excitedly scrambled for it, igniting even more frenzied shouts from the crowd.
He raised his blood-stained arm, waved to the audience, and then walked toward the iron gate leading to the exit.
After the arena was cleaned up, the host jumped back onto the platform.
"Next, we'll open up free challenges!"
The audience erupted in cheers.
The host raised his hand to quiet the arena, and it immediately fell silent.
"The person standing next to me is the player who won five consecutive matches the day before yesterday. He is the one I will challenge next. Anyone with the ability is welcome to come up and try to challenge him."
"As usual, anyone on a winning streak will have a chance to win a corresponding bonus. Three consecutive wins will qualify you for..."
The host introduced the information step by step on stage.
"Of course, we will also increase the corresponding prize money based on the strength of the opponents, the overall difficulty, and the excitement of the competition."
Feifeng felt somewhat disheartened: "Are you still going to look? Or perhaps we should go somewhere else?"
To be honest, she had absolutely no interest in that killing match that was supposed to be just for the audience's amusement.
Using blood to buy cheers from the audience may seem like a twisted form of entertainment, but it is actually the most primal bloodlust of a beast.
She simply couldn't empathize with the audience's fervent excitement at such a bizarre scene.
Whether it's the upcoming free challenge or the arena-arranged battles, they are essentially the same.
Long Chuqing turned her gaze away from the stage: "Then let's go! Actually, there's nothing to see. It's just a fight where the focus is on winning or losing."
The audience was filled with a strong sense of hostility.
The air here is a mixture of various unpleasant odors, making it murky and foul-smelling.
It's better to go out sooner.
Moreover, ever since they sat down, she noticed several pairs of eyes falling on them from time to time.
There was an underlying ill intent, like scrutinizing goods for evaluation.
Since the three of them did not change their appearance, their slender figures and gentle, harmless faces made them appear too weak and frail compared to the burly orcs and wild demons around them.
That's probably why I got noticed as soon as I came in!
