Chapter 482 Fighting Beasts
The Linyu Fighting Arena is the most popular place for beast fighting business in the entire Yuanhai. It has only three floors, but covers a large area. The doors and windows are large, simple and rough. The materials of the window frames and doors are all dark brown wood with visible annual ring patterns, which is very primitive.
Lifelike heads of monsters are hung on the walls covered with sea mud and oyster gray. In the hall outside the arena, there are gambling tables and tea tables, occupied by many half-monster, half-human seafarers. They are all flushed and sweating, their emotions are firmly absorbed in the situation on the field.
Hong Xue and Wu Ziqi bought tickets to enter the venue. Facing them was a huge enclosure that was deeply sunken into the ground, more than 200 meters long and wide. Half of it was land, and half was water. Surrounding it on both sides, thousands of seats were filled with monsters. At this moment, they were shouting at the top of their lungs, waving black wooden signs in their hands, their emotions were high, and the atmosphere was fanatical.
Two beasts were fighting in the paddock, a black wolf and a gray crocodile, each of them was as big as a house.
The black-backed wolf with its bloody mouth had fangs that were more than half a foot long, snow-white and eerie, and with its scarlet tongue, it looked extremely ferocious. However, facing the crocodile's silver-gray scales, it had no way to bite it. It failed to make any progress and was instead bitten by the crocodile's huge, winnowing mouth. Blood flowed along the white fur on its belly, staining the ground red.
Seeing that the gray crocodile had the upper hand, some monsters roared excitedly, while others turned pale.
"Hahaha, Grandpa is going to make a comeback! The ones with shells are harder than the ones with fur. I'm going to win back everything I lost in the past."
"Damn it, this wolf demon is such a waste, I'll bet on Crocodile Tyrant in the next round too! Can't the fighting arena be loaned out? It's only nine out of thirteen, I'll lend it out today!"
"."
In just a few moments of walking from the entrance to the registration desk, the two of them witnessed the joys and sorrows of hundreds of gamblers.

"Axue, what are you going to buy later?"
Wu Ziqi asked casually as he looked at the gray crocodile that was pressing the black-backed wolf demon under him.
"Of course I'll go all in on the first game. After all, only upsets can bring big profits."
Hong Xue held a stack of gold-stamped rice paper in her hand, walked to a corner where no one noticed her, and said without raising her head: "In gambling, there are 10,000 losers out of 10,000 people. People like us who really win never rely on luck."
"Haha, you're cheating, right?"
Wu Ziqi knew what Hong Xue was going to do next, and immediately took out a ball of liquid metal with a silver-gray luster from his personal space.
"As long as no one finds out, how can you cheat? Don't you think so, Brother Ziqi?"
Hong Xue chuckled and pulled out a single page from the pile of portraits.
[Single page of the mountain and sea painting book: Jiuying]
"Jiu Ying, a monster of water and fire, harms people, and there is fierce water in the place."
——Annotations by Gao You in Huainanzi: Benjingxun
"Forget it, I won't say anything about you. Anyway, you have learned from the lesson of being caught last time that you have realized the flaw of the illusory form of the painting soul after it is condensed. With the cooperation of my [Divine Forging Gold] this time, there should be no problem, right?"
Wu Ziqi looked at Hong Xue in front of him, feeling somewhat helpless. The liquid mass suspended in his palm seemed to sense his mood, and ripples appeared on its surface.
"Absolutely no problem."
Hong Xue patted his chest, and the gold-embossed rice paper in his hand instantly burned with a light golden flame. The gold-embossed patterns gradually curled in the flame, and faintly in the air could be heard the continuous dull cries like snakes hissing and dragons roaring.
Soon, the single page with the portrait of the Nine Infants turned into wisps of golden-red flames, and an equal amount of silver-blue water, intertwined and flowed towards Wu Ziqi's palm.
[Inheritance: Wu Daozi's Brush·Spiritual Delivery]: After activation, the painted portrait will materialize temporarily and move freely according to the will of the inheritor.
Note: The higher the expertise of the inheritor, the more complete the charm of the painted portraits, the more flexible the movements of the materialized painting soul, and the more realistic the movements.
[Ink Soul]: The secondary breakthrough skill of [Inheritance: Wu Daozi's Pen]. When in close contact with an object, one can try to guess its movements and expressions to comprehend the essence of the subject, draw a portrait that is completely consistent with the object's appearance, and retain some of its magical powers.
Seeing Hong Xue activate the inherited skill, Wu Ziqi nodded. The ball of liquid metal with a misty color shook slightly at his fingertips, and then it turned into a nine-headed snake with an ox body and a dragon tail, absorbing all the golden-red flames and silver-blue water.

Water and fire, which should have been irreconcilable, flowed at the same time in this ball of liquid metal, but in the blink of an eye, they seemed like an illusion and disappeared, leaving only the lifelike Nine Infants figurine.
[Inheritance: Spirit of the Golden Sky King·Yaopo]: Possesses a keen sense of smell for metal. Without the aid of corresponding tools, one can find mineral veins and expend a great deal of energy and physical strength to smelt metals, adjust the proportions, and give them a preliminary shaping.
[Divine Forged Gold]: Using a breakthrough skill of [Inheritance: Spirit of the Golden King], more than ten kinds of metals are re-smelted into liquid metal. It has its own memory recovery properties, good hardness, toughness and extraordinary conductivity.
After a while, the vermilion Nine Infants figurine blinked twice, stretched its body, gradually expanded into a human form, and appeared in front of Hong Xue.
"Not bad, not bad. If we only judge by the power of his magic, he is only equivalent to a Nine Lights demon with a thousand years of cultivation. Although he has a solid foundation, he has the resilience and toughness of a Seventh Palace level."
Hong Xue stretched out her finger and poked the scales on Jiuying's forearm that were the same as the original body, and said with satisfaction: "With these short-sighted little demons in the field, they can't tell the truth from the false."
"Let's go, this wolf demon is doomed to fail."
Wu Ziqi glanced at the wolf demon in the arena who was being held down by the crocodile king, unable to get up, and walked towards the registration office of the arena.
"Xiaojiu, whether I can become rich this time depends entirely on you!"
Hong Xue patted Jiuying's thigh, urging him to follow. However, she did not follow Wu Ziqi to the registration office, but split into two groups and hurried to the fighting arena to exchange chips and place bets.
"Manager, please have a life-and-death battle with a thousand-year cultivation level."
The manager of the fighting arena, who was fiddling with an abacus, saw Wu Ziqi leading a snake demon with great momentum and appearance coming to him. His eyes immediately lit up and he said three good words in a row.
"Okay, okay, you have plenty of magic power and strong muscles, you are really a good material for fighting beasts. But you only want to fight once? You won't get much money."
"Let's play a game first to test the waters. If we can win easily, it won't be too late to try again later."
Wu Ziqi shook his head and threw out a bag of spirit shells as a deposit.
"You know the rules here very well. It seems that you two are regular customers."
The manager of the fighting arena weighed the bag, squinted his eyes and looked carefully at the person in front of him, but he could not be sure whether he had seen this unfathomable demon fairy before.
"I watched a few beast fights and found them interesting, so I decided to join in." Wu Ziqi spoke without missing a beat. After a pause, he continued, "When can I get Jiuying on the field at the earliest?"
"Just one more round. The fighting arena got a thousand-year-old wild boar demon this morning. We are worried about not having a suitable opponent. If it dares to fight, we can let it fight after the pig demon and Crocodile Tyrant have fought."
The steward pointed to the enclosure. The three turned around and saw that the fight between the wolf and the crocodile had been decided. The guys in the arena were cleaning up the mess and preparing for the next big event.
"so be it."
Wu Ziqi's confidence in Jiuying was no less than Hong Xue's, so naturally he had no objection. He immediately handed the silent Jiuying to the manager of the fighting arena.
"Yes, we will do some necessary inspections on it, and if there are no problems, we will let it play."
The manager of the fighting arena obviously didn't notice anything wrong and just thought Jiuying was an ordinary thousand-year-old demon.
"Ah."
After signing the contract, Wu Ziqi sat in the VIP box arranged by the fighting arena, and only communicated with Hong Xue who was hiding in the dark through the Yanfu dialogue.
"Congratulations to our Crocodile King for his fourth victory! His extraordinary racial talent and over 900 years of cultivation have made him invincible in battles with monsters. However, facing the next wild boar monster that has survived a heavenly tribulation and has a cultivation of a thousand years, can he still remain undefeated and win all the way? Let's take a break, and more exciting battles will be presented later!"
The lark bird demon acting as the host circled around the arena, shouting in a high-pitched voice, trying to stir up the atmosphere.

Neither Hong Xue nor Wu Ziqi felt the slightest discomfort with such an environment. Although the stench in the air was somewhat unbearable, the scene of thousands of monsters roaring and their blood boiling was equally shocking.
At this moment, a roar like a tsunami suddenly broke out in the field. Hong Xue looked up and saw a black-skinned wild boar with a swollen nose and face and bulging fat all over its body being put into the enclosure.
[Pig Head Three]: A thousand-year-old pig demon who owed a huge debt due to sexual addiction and was later sold to the Linyu Fighting Arena by a gold shop.
Entering the enclosure with the black-skinned wild boar was the gray-skinned crocodile that had won four games in a row and was very proud and confident.
The lark on the field flapped its wings and said in a bewitching tone:
"I don't need to tell you how ferocious Crocodile Tyrant is. The gamblers who bet on him to win have already made a fortune today. Now, let's see which one is better, the sea-river scales or the land beasts!"
As soon as the words fell, a loud roar resounded throughout the paddock, and the mud collapsed like a landslide. Countless splashes of water rushed into the sky and were blown into the air.
The gray-skinned crocodile raised all the scales on its body upright, flashing a cold metallic luster, like sharp blades. It jumped out of the muddy water and pounced on the black-skinned wild boar.
Faced with a pig demon that was stronger than himself, the crocodile king did not dare to hide his weakness at all and used a deadly killing move at the very beginning.
oooo~
Facing the little demon whose cultivation was not as good as his, Zhutou San was obviously very confident. He immediately moved his body sideways at an extremely fast speed and narrowly avoided the bloody mouth. With a "crack", his hoof as thick as a beam crushed the long mouth of the crocodile king, and the smell of blood was overwhelming.
Seeing that his bloody mouth failed to bite and was instead restrained by Pig Head Three, Crocodile King became ferocious. He raised his five-meter-long claw arm and stabbed it straight into the pig monster's belly with raging ferocity.
Boom!
Pighead Three was in a high position, and he sat down and bumped into the giant claw. Relying on his real weight, he directly ignored the crocodile's scales that were as hard as gold and iron, and in the blink of an eye he crushed the crocodile's internal organs into a pool of meat paste!
"It knows that it needs to use blunt force to break armor. This pig demon is quite smart."
Wu Ziqi was not too surprised when he saw Pighead Three easily defeating Crocodile King in just a few moves in the paddock.
The thunder tribulation of heaven and earth is both a calamity and a blessing for the demon immortals of the outer Taoism. This crocodile demon has experienced one less heavenly tribulation than the pig demon, so the chances of winning are already pitifully slim.
The gamblers in the audience cheered. Looking at their performance, it seemed that they were not surprised by Crocodile King's defeat.
In the simple worldview of the Bailingwanzu, unless your bloodline is more special and powerful, a thousand years of cultivation is better than nine hundred years of cultivation, and those who have survived the heavenly tribulation are more powerful than those who have not!
Many monsters cheered and celebrated their new fortune by spending a lot of money to buy wine and meat. Their vulgar and ugly appearance made Hong Xue, who was mixed in the crowd, frown.
But fortunately, her Nine Infants entered the enclosure very quickly. The powerful momentum overwhelmed the entire audience, and then there was a shouting sound like a tsunami.
The Nine Infants that transformed into their original demon form was about ten meters long, and looked much thinner than a giant pig, but very powerful, with red-gold scales sparkling all over their body, and flowing with flaming water.
puff!
After a fierce battle, Pighead Three was aware of his current situation and had to fight to the death. So he did so without hesitation. He blew out two dense columns of air from his long beak, kicked the ground with his hind legs, and aimed his two fangs as sharp as steel files at Jiuying, who looked quite tough to deal with.
Dust flew, water and fire rose up, Jiuying used his innate magic, and the rushing water swallowed up the giant forest pig in the blink of an eye. The air roared and made a humming sound.
Relying on his thick skin and flesh, Pighead Three raised his head and rushed to the front of the Hydra monster under the torrent of high-pressure water cannon.
Call ~
The sharp fangs pierced straight through Jiuying's red-gold scales, and along with the boiling blood, there gushed out rippling rose-red flames. The golden-red fire waves spread up and down, and black smoke filled the field, turning the hairy giant pig into a large torch.
Pighead Three rolled around in pain, trying to escape back into the quagmire and wrap himself again with the hardened mud armor that had been washed away by the flood.
Chi~
Jiuying's eyes were cold, and its snake kisses, as dense as a woven web, bit towards Pighead Three from all directions, flashing scarlet bloody rays. In the blink of an eye, it tied up the mountain of flesh that wanted to escape.
Seeing the nine-headed hydra monster wrapping around the giant forest boar tighter and tighter, many gamblers who had placed heavy bets on the Nine Infants because of their extraordinary appearance stood up excitedly and cheered. There were also many monsters cursing and throwing the wooden signs in their hands off the field, and the crowd was very excited.
At this moment, Hong Xue smiled cunningly, and an idea flashed in his mind. Jiuying, who had tied up the pig demon, rolled over on his own initiative. But in the eyes of outsiders, it seemed that Zhu Tou San was the leader, using the same trick again, trying to crush Jiuying to death with his amazing weight again and win.
For a moment, the field was filled with dust and smoke, making it impossible to see the situation inside.

After an unknown amount of time, at the bottom of the devastated enclosure, a giant monster covered in dirt and with his skin torn by strangulation struggled to get up. It was Pighead Three.
Under its hooves was a Hydra monster that had been crushed into a pulp and its scales had been cracked.
"I I won?"
Before he fainted completely, this was the only thought left in Pighead Three's mind.
