Chapter 79: Xiao Lang's Choice

  Everyone stared at the small wolf with a resolute gaze, completely bewildered as to why it had suddenly stood up after being extremely quiet since entering the Blood Refining Hell. Only Helian No seemed to understand its intention, walking up to the small wolf and squatting down to ask in a low voice: "Little Wolf, are you saying that you want to represent our Blood Refining Hell in the second trial?"

  The little wolf nodded heavily, and the eager light in his eyes grew stronger.

  "What? You're going to go? Do you know that the opponent is a fifth-stage soul beast?! Going there isn't equivalent to sending yourself to death, is it?!", Lei Shuo, who had already become quite familiar with Xiao Lang, was the first to disagree. In his view, Xiao Lang was just an ordinary soul beast, and a fifth-stage soul beast was simply an existence that could only be looked up to.

  Luo Tian looked at Xiao Lang with a heavy gaze and said slowly: "However, apart from him, we seem to really have no other choice. Lei Shuo and He Lian were both severely injured yesterday, and even after a night of recovery, it's hard for them to engage in intense exercise now. As for Sang Xiao, his physical condition was already extremely weak, and the injury he suffered last time was too severe. By now, he may not have recovered even half of it. And Ling Xiang has made it clear that we must choose participants for the beast fight from among the new ones. It seems that Xiao Lang is our only choice now... Only..."

  "Let Xiao Lang go!", He Lianuo suddenly stood up and interrupted Luo Tian.

  "Helian, what are you talking about? Don't you know how terrifying a fifth-grade soul beast is? Letting Xiao Lang participate in the second round of beast fighting is... is clearly sending it to its death! ", Lei Shuo, who was standing beside Helian, looked extremely surprised. In his opinion, Helian had always treated Xiao Lang like a younger brother and would never let it suffer any grievances. But now, he actually wanted to send Xiao Lang onto the battlefield, which was unbelievable given their relationship!

  The little wolf raised its head and looked at Leishen with gratitude, then called out softly a few times, as if telling Leishen that it was not as weak as he had imagined, and Helianuo was not as heartless as he had thought.

  "It's okay, let Xiao Lang go, this is the best choice now. After all, our new recruits have almost lost half of their combat power. Lei Shuo, don't doubt my feelings for Xiao Lang. In fact, I'm probably the one who cares about Xiao Lang the most in this world. It's because I care that I respect Xiao Lang's choices, and it's because I care that I choose to believe in Xiao Lang. I'm not afraid of death, if necessary, I can risk my life to protect Xiao Lang at any time. But I don't want to make unnecessary sacrifices. I am absolutely certain that Xiao Lang will definitely defeat the five-stage soul beast! Don't worry, don't underestimate it, Xiao Lang is also very powerful. Tomorrow's beast fight, let him create a big surprise for us!

  He Lianuo walked up to Lei Shuo and patted his shoulder lightly. As he said, there was no more suitable candidate for this second beast fight than Xiao Lang. Others didn't know Xiao Lang's strength, but He Lianuo, who grew up with him since childhood, knew it clearly. Wasn't Xiao Lang a five-stage soul beast? Not to mention that Xiao Lang is the descendant of the sacred beast Tian Lang!"

  Seeing Lei Shuo lower his head and no longer object, Luo Tian stood up and said loudly: "Alright, since everyone has reached a consensus, the representative of our Blood Refining Hell to participate in the second beast fight will be Xiao Lang. Alright brothers, time is almost up, let's go to the Blood Refining Tower. Although none of us need to take the stage today, we must cheer for Xiao Lang with all our might. No matter what, he is one of us!"

  The crowd responded in unison, standing up and following the little wolf behind Luo Tian as they walked out of the Blood Refining Hell. They marched towards the direction of the Blood Refining Tower, with a large number of fully armed soldiers escorting them along the way. Having experienced this once before, the crowd naturally did not fear such an array again.

  Before long, the crowd followed Luo Tian into the iron prison of the Blood Refining Tower. This time, the people of Gui Lianyu had arrived ahead of schedule. What was strange was that when they saw Lei Shuo, they hastily averted their eyes, and even the leader of Gui Lianyu trembled all over. Apparently, Lei Shuo's bloody massacre yesterday had left a terrifying shadow in their hearts.

  He Lianuo looked up and saw that the high platform was already packed, with more dignitaries present than yesterday. It seemed that the Blood Refining Tower's strategy of using a fifth-tier soul beast as an advertisement had been effective. At least half of the people on the crowded platform were probably there specifically to see the fifth-tier soul beast.

  As the two parties had taken their seats, Lan Youzhu, as the host of the beast fight, slowly walked to the center of the arena. It seemed that yesterday's scene still left her with a lingering fear. Before speaking, she nervously glanced in the direction of Gui Lianyin, and found that the killer who had gone mad yesterday didn't seem to be staring at her. Lan Youzhu cleared her throat, squeezed out a smile, and said loudly: "Welcome, esteemed guests, to the Blood Refining Tower! I'm sure everyone has already received the news. Today, the Blood Refining Tower is providing a precious fifth-rank soul beast for the beast fight between the two parties!" At this point, Lan Youzhu deliberately paused for a moment, knowing that at such a moment, leaving some time for the audience would increase the atmosphere.

  As expected, the moment Lan You's words fell, the entire viewing platform erupted into a commotion. The title of fifth-grade soul beast was enough to cause quite a stir in this relatively remote small city. Although it was close to the Demon Moon Forest, the vast majority of people had never seen a fifth-grade soul beast in their lifetime, but today... A living fifth-grade soul beast would soon appear right before their eyes; how could that not be exciting!

  Lan Youzhu smiled contentedly and continued, "As everyone knows, the strength of a fifth-stage soul beast is equivalent to that of a human Soul Servant. It's not easy to capture one, and our Blood Refining Tower has paid a great price to obtain it. But all of this is worth it because we have confidence. Today's beast fight will be the most exciting and intense one in the history of Blood Refining Tower!" As soon as Lan Youzhu finished speaking, a group of burly men wearing sleeveless shirts slowly pushed a large cart into the arena. The cart had no canopy, and on top of it was a square object covered with black cloth, making it impossible to tell what was inside. The men quickly left after pushing the cart to the center of the arena, leaving only Lan Youzhu, dressed in his flashy attire, standing alone in the arena.

  Everyone in the Blood Refining Tower, including the spectators on the stands and the crowd in the iron cages, focused their attention on the object covered with black cloth. Lan Youzhu, standing beside the object, seemed to be enjoying the feeling of being watched by thousands of people, smiling brightly before opening his mouth again: "Ladies and gentlemen, please open your eyes wide, because what's inside is today's beast fighting object, the terrifying existence known as the Desert King, the fifth-grade soul beast - Thorny Giant Scorpion!", As soon as he finished speaking, Lan Youzhu suddenly lifted the black cloth covering the mysterious object, revealing a huge steel cage before everyone's eyes!

  This iron cage was obviously specially made, with each bar appearing unusually thick and heavy. A giant lock the size of an adult's head firmly guarded the cage door, while inside the cage, a gigantic soul beast was roaring angrily with its teeth bared and claws dancing!

  Is that the legendary Five-Stage Soul Beast? Everyone on the platform stood up involuntarily, stretching their necks to gaze at the iron cage. However, the iron bars were made too densely, with extremely small gaps between them, and most people could only see the outline of the soul beast.

  "Don't be too impatient, if it's released now, my life as a young woman will probably not be preserved!", At the moment when the crowd on the stage was clamoring for the opening of the cage door, Lan Youzhu's voice came from an unknown place. The crowd followed the sound and looked around, only to see that Lan Youzhu had somehow entered the iron prison of the Blood Refining Hell!

  Looking at her husband's iron-green face, Lan Youzhu continued to say in a soft and gentle voice: "Before releasing the thorny giant scorpion, I will first hide in this relatively safe iron cage. Okay, next, please have both sides send out their respective participants for the beast fight. Remember, only one can be sent at a time, and both sides can attack each other or cooperate with the soul beast to fight. However, there is a small change in the rules of this trial compared to before: once one side's piglet dies, it does not mean that the game is over. That side must send out the next piglet, repeating until the soul beast dies or all the piglets on one side die. The side that gives the fatal blow to the soul beast will win. If both sides fight until all their piglets are dead without killing the soul beast, the other side will automatically win. Both sides can choose any weapon, but during the trial, they cannot take medicine or bandage wounds with someone else's help, otherwise it will be considered a forfeit. Okay, those are the rules. Next, please have both ranch owners send out your participating piglets! Oh, and like last time, I still support Blood Refining Hell this time!" It seemed that she was intentionally opposing her husband, Qian Huan Gongzi, and in the end, Lan Youzhu stood on the opposite side of him again, just like last time.

  The Qian Huan Gongzi on the viewing platform buried his head behind a fan, and it was unknown what he was thinking about. Ling Xiao, on the other hand, was delighted to drink tea, and in his opinion, anything that made his opponent uncomfortable was welcome.

  The crowd on the viewing platform looked intently, and saw a sturdy giant with an upper body emerging from the Ghost Refining Hell in big strides. The giant tightly grasped a long-handled iron hammer, his powerful muscles looking robust and strong. On the other hand, from the Blood Refining Hell, a gigantic silver wolf slowly emerged!

  "What? The one sent by Luo Tian is actually it?" Ling Xiao furrowed his brow, seemingly unable to believe his eyes.
