75: How can you speak?

Xie Lin and Li Feihong walked to the side of the crowd and immediately arranged defensive matters for everyone, or the rotation strategy for when they would defend later.

Intentionally or unintentionally, the Wang family members were left aside. At this moment, Xun Xiuyuan walked over.

He stood quietly to one side of the six Wang family members. When the Wang family members saw Xiuyuan, they all became a little scared and moved towards the corner.

Seeing this, Xun Xiuyuan smiled subtly and moved a little closer to the Wang family.

Perhaps due to a guilty conscience, or perhaps intimidated by Xun Xiuyuan's terrifying combat power, the Wang family members once again shifted to the side, already pressing against the stone wall on one side of the tunnel.

Xun Xiuyuan silently chanted: Explosive Ignition Art.

He unreservedly used Explosive Ignition Art, spending five hundred thousand exotic beast value. Instantly, his long blade was in hand, and he slashed towards the Wang family members.

In fact, the Wang family members had already prepared for this. After all, having betrayed humanity, no amount of caution was too much.

It was just that Xun Xiuyuan's attack, bolstered by Explosive Ignition Art, was something the Wang family members could not withstand. Wang Tianhui, seeing that things were going badly, prepared to head towards Xie Lin's side, where there were more people, to take a human as a hostage and escape to safety.

However, Li Feihong, who was nearby, had already taken precautions. While Xun Xiuyuan was slaying the other five, he had already blocked the frenzied Wang Tianhui.

No amount of frenzy was useful. He already had a gap in combat power compared to Li Feihong, and being attacked from both front and back, he was soon injured by Li Feihong.

Xun Xiuyuan had already completed a five-hit combo, but he did not attack the remaining Wang Tianhui.

Leaving one for the Li family to kill is pretty good.

Li Feihong once again made a contribution, slashing Wang Tianhui's thigh, causing Wang Tianhui to temporarily lose his combat ability.

Li Feihong stopped and looked at Wang Tianhui: “Why did you collude with exotic beasts and betray humanity?”

Wang Tianhui, hearing this, turned pale and said through gritted teeth: “No, how could I betray humanity and collude with exotic beasts? What good would that do me? Besides, we can’t even communicate with Immaculate Realm exotic beasts, so where does this talk of collusion come from?”

Xun Xiuyuan watched Wang Tianhui's defense but said nothing. He wouldn't believe a single punctuation mark, anyway; the Wang family members were all unreliable.

Li Feihong had actually already confirmed that Wang Tianhui was problematic when he saw his actions. Anyone under Xun Xiuyuan's attack would surely call for help as their first reaction.

Who would directly grab a hostage? It was very obvious that Wang Tianhui had a problem.

The reason Li Feihong asked was just to put his mind at ease. Seeing that Wang Tianhui certainly wouldn't confess, there was no need to continue asking, so he raised his hand, swung his sword, and killed Wang Tianhui.

Wang Tianhui's eyes widened. He had originally thought there was still a chance to argue, but he didn't expect the other party to be so decisive.

At this moment, the sound of exotic beast footsteps had already begun outside the tunnel. Xun Xiuyuan said, “I'll be in front, Uncle Xie and Uncle Li behind me, forming a triangular formation. Everyone else should quickly recover at the back, ready to replace my rear position at any time. When the fight starts, don't worry about me; their attacks won't do much damage to me.”

After speaking, he took the lead and walked towards the tunnel entrance.

When he reached the tunnel entrance, the exotic beasts outside had already gathered in position.

Before he could observe much, a prompt sounded.

Remaining life forms: 7530. Time remaining until the arena closes: 90 minutes. After the time limit, all life forms ranked below one thousand in kill count will be eliminated.

After hearing the prompt, he looked at the humans behind him. All the surviving humans should be here. Including Xun Xiuyuan, there were only twenty-five people, meaning there were still about 7,500 exotic beasts remaining.

Seeing that the opponent had no intention of attacking for the time being, they all seemed to be waiting for someone.

Xun Xiuyuan couldn't attack either; he could only defend, because if he attacked, the humans behind him would surely not be spared.

While waiting, Xun Xiuyuan opened his system panel.

Lottery Draws: 125

After entering the ruins, he had already gained over six hundred million exotic beast value, but adding to mental strength would only add seven hundred points, which would not effectively enhance his combat power.

After thinking for a moment, the bitter battle later was unavoidable, so he decided to strengthen his life-saving abilities.

Xun Xiuyuan no longer hesitated and directly used exotic beast value to upgrade Blood God Body.

Blood God Body (First Layer): Just starting, increases physical strength and defense by ten percent.

He spent five million exotic beast value to raise Blood God Body to the second layer.

Blood God Body (Second Layer): Entry level, increases physical strength and defense by twenty percent.

He clicked again, directly deducting ten million exotic beast value.

He ultimately spent over six hundred million exotic beast value to upgrade Blood God Body to the eighth layer, very close to the ninth layer, but he didn't have enough exotic beast value, because upgrading from the eighth layer to the ninth layer required six hundred and forty million exotic beast value.

Xun Xiuyuan's available exotic beast value was now less than one hundred million.

Blood God Body (Eighth Layer): Great Accomplishment, increases physical strength and defense by eighty percent.

Xun Xiuyuan knew from previous battles that even a ten percent increase from Blood God Body, combined with Copper Wall Iron Barrier, was already extremely potent. Seeing the current effect of Blood God Body, he would test in the upcoming battle just how strong an eighth-layer Blood God Body was.

He scanned his spatial ring with his divine sense. Fortunately, he had prepared enough clothes; otherwise, he would be completely naked once the talismans were used.

Since entering the ruins, he had already changed three sets of clothes: once due to talisman damage, and twice because too much exotic beast blood had stained him, making him uncomfortable all over.

Just as Xun Xiuyuan finished upgrading his Blood God Body, the exotic beast horde opposite had already finished gathering. Xun Xiuyuan glanced at them; it was a vast, dark mass, seemingly endless. He estimated that all the exotic beasts in the arena had already arrived here.

At this moment, the exotic beasts suddenly parted, creating a path, and a strong Savage Bear walked from the end of the path. This Savage Bear was larger than an ordinary Immaculate Realm Savage Bear.

This Savage Bear was indeed Xiong Da.

He stood at the very front of all the exotic beasts, opened his large mouth, and spoke in human tongue: “I am Xiong Da. You only have so few people left. Don't resist stubbornly. I'll give you a dignified end; commit suicide. I promise not to damage your corpses. Otherwise, I will eat all of you into my belly, hahaha!”

He finished with a burst of wild laughter.

Xun Xiuyuan had never seen an Immaculate Realm exotic beast speak before. He knew that Transcendent Realm exotic beasts could speak. After advancing to Transcendent, whether exotic beast or human, the life level underwent a sublimation, so speaking was not surprising.

“Big Bear, why can you speak?” Xun Xiuyuan, as always, asked when he didn't understand.
