Chapter 891: Who is the True Protagonist?
"BaXhu, use Fierce Gale!"
"PikaXhu, use Thunderbolt!"
Naturally, because this was the Spirit Beast Tournament, a common issue arose: the spirit beasts were often much stronger than their masters. As the beasts were released, the arena was quickly filled with them, but to everyone's shock, the beasts didn't move at all! Instead, they bared their teeth at their masters.
The tentacle monster let out a strange cackle. The beasts then turned on their owners, initiating a reverse slaughter.
The Beast Tamer caressed his ring and loudly declared, "I always knew you humans were useless, but with these beasts, King Lone can still build a paradise."
Crawling like a dog, he approached the tentacle monster. The tentacles wrapped around him, and the monster laughed again, its strange sounds echoing.
Meanwhile, the reverse slaughter continued. In one instance, a leopard-like beast tore its owner's intestines out, devouring them with relish, eyes blood-red. Yet, due to the contract, the leopard was struck by a force, causing its head to explode.
"Truly buy one, get one free," Ye Wenxin quipped, but Xuan Luofei's zither suddenly rang out.
"Sister Xuan, why are you playing again?" Ye Wenxin, forgetting her situation, spoke to Xuan Luofei in human words.
"With the Beast Garden in danger, how can I stand by and do nothing?" Xuan Luofei said, her lips tightening. Already unwell, her condition worsened.
Her face was pale as paper, hands trembling, yet she stubbornly continued playing.
This determination reminded Ye Wenxin of Xuan Luofei's efforts in the secret realm and her stubborn persistence in the Baiyu Dynasty.
Xuan Luofei was a paragon of righteousness, completely selfless even as others prioritized their own safety. This kind of selflessness would eventually cost her.
Ye Wenxin felt a pang of emotion, but even in her dragon form, she couldn't solve the problem fundamentally. She could only hope Xuan Luofei's Demon Suppressing Zither would affect the beasts.
"Stop that noise, now!" the Beast Tamer translated for the tentacle monster, then charged at Xuan Luofei, eager to kill her.
Xuan Luofei had some self-defense skills, using her true energy to dodge a tentacle attack gracefully. But this was only the first strike; more powerful attacks followed. Ye Wenxin flew in front of Xuan Luofei, directing the ghost fire at the tentacle monster. It recoiled in pain, its eyes blood-red, seemingly gathering its power.
The Beast Tamer continued, "It was you who killed my cousin in the sea, and now I'll kill all of humanity for his funeral!"
The Beast Tamer spoke for the tentacle monster, but Ye Wenxin hadn't expected the sea tentacle monster hadn't died, or that there were so many more.
With an octopus-like form, it was impossible to find the embedded spiritual stones. Ye Wenxin attacked again, but the octopus's regeneration was overwhelming. Severed tentacles thumped on the ground and transformed into smaller tentacle monsters, attacking humans.
