Chapter 21 - Race Massacres

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After dispelling the fatigue, Zhuo Bufan borrowed the leverage he got by standing on top of the small iceberg and leapt to a safe place.

Lowering his head to take a look, there were actually still vines that were stirring restlessly by his feet. Zhuo Bufan raised his staff and dropped a few icicles, freezing them into perfect specimens.

It was not advisable to stay here for long. He could not care less about the strange sound he heard when he came. As long as he was in the territory, he did not have to worry about not seeing it in the future.

Taking the materials on the spot, he made a few more torches. Zhuo Bufan jogged all the way, and after an unknown period of time, he finally ran out of the forest and came to a familiar place. The fear of the unknown that followed him like a shadow also dissipated along with it.

But running all the way, left Zhuo Bufan perspiring profusely.

He only realized that he had ran all the way back, so the only thing he for his foray tonight was that wild rabbit.

When he thought that there was still the arena match tomorrow, Zhuo Bufan directly dressed up the rabbit, and roasted it over the fire. After eating and drinking to his heart’s content, he laid on the hammock and went straight to dreamland.

He woke up the next morning feeling refreshed. It seemed as though he had managed to rest enough to recover from all his fatigue the past few days. Since there was still half of the rabbit left from last night, he used it to fill his stomach before setting off.

While eating, Zhuo Bufan opened the chat channel.

[Ten Thousand Races Battlefield World Channel]

Within the [Human Race Channel]…

[Anasu: When will the group arena end? Day by day like this, I feel so frustrated.]

[Aika: It won’t be long now. You shout and complain about being bored every day when there isn’t an arena match. Now that the arena match is underway, you complain again.]

[Tripitaka: I wonder how the injured young patron from yesterday is recovering.]

[Zhuo Bufan: What are you guys chatting about? The arena will be starting soon. Don’t we need to rush over?]

Seeing Zhuo Bufan’s name jump out from the channel, the somewhat dull chat channel instantly became lively.

It also gave Zhuo Bufan an indescribable feeling. He had a feeling as though he was receiving the same treatment as Song Chenxing.

[Aika: Don’t worry, it’s the same even if we go in the afternoon. Let them fight first. I still have to go and pick herbs later.]

[Anasu: I didn’t have a good night’s rest. I plan to have a good sleep today.]

[Zhuo Bufan: Yesterday when I returned to the territory, I went for a walk in the forest. Guess what I encountered?]

[Tripitaka: Young Benefactor Zhuo, what did you encounter?]

[Zhuo Bufan: I’m asking you guys. Master, why are you throwing the question back? Use your imagination to make a good guess first.]

Zhuo Bufan felt that these people were already seasoned veterans of the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield. Whatever there was in this territory of his, they would definitely be the clearest about it.

Moreover, everyone’s territory should be the same, so whatever he encountered last night, as long as they had explored the forest before, they would definitely have encountered it.

As such, it was actually not hard for them to guess.

[Song Chenxing: Did you encounter the vines in the forest?]

[Zhuo Bufan: Sure enough, you’re really the Big Boss, you guessed it right away. I wanted to ask where this vine came from. Last night, I almost lost my little life.]

[Anasu: What vine? Why haven’t I seen it before?]

[Aika: I’m sure you didn’t go into the forest at all.]

Anasu did not reply for a long time, which was a form of tacit agreement.

At this time, Zhuo Bufan finally realized that perhaps not everyone had really explored their own territory.

[Anasu: I only went around the forest outskirts a few times. It’s too dark inside and I’m scared.]

[Tripitaka: “Don’t be afraid, Benefactor Anasu. Actually, there’s no danger in the forest. You just need to be careful.]

[Anasu: I’m not going. I’m happy with strolling outside the forest area. Ok, I’m not talking any more, I’m gonna go take a nap. So tired!]

Anasu did not appear again. However, Zhuo Bufan was only waiting for Song Chenxing’s reply the entire time.

Unexpectedly, in the entire human race channel, only Song Chenxing knew about the vines.

However, judging from the situation last night, it was difficult to determine whether this thing was friend or foe.

However, even after waiting for more than ten minutes, he didn’t see any private messages, nor did he see Song Chenxing appear in the channel.

This Big Boss of theirs was really unpredictable.

Song Chenxing’s act of disappearing in a puff incurred Zhuo Bufan’s displeasure.

[Zhuo Bufan: Big Boss Song, are you still there?]

After sending three consecutive messages, the chat was still as quiet as a dead chicken.

Such a reaction made Zhuo Bufan speechless.

[Song Chenxing: I’m back. There was a small accident just now. Fortunately, it wasn’t not too dangerous.]

[Song Chenxing: Based on my understanding of vines, this thing won’t hurt us, but you have to be careful of the swamp around it. You’ll die if you fall into it.]

Die!

This was something he had to take seriously. Zhuo Bufan recalled that he almost buried his head in the swamp last night. He definitely had to be more careful in the future.

[Zhuo Bufan: Big boss, what other potential dangers are there in the forest? You know the most, can you reveal some?]

Zhuo Bufan believed that even if other people were unwilling to explore the forest for various reasons, with Song Chenxing’s character, he would definitely have done surveillance of the area.

However, what he never expected was that Song Chenxing’s answer directly made Zhuo Bufan fall to the ground.

[Song Chenxing: It’s just an ordinary forest. Other than some wild rabbits and wild boars, there’s nothing special about it. I’m more concerned about cultivation. Anything that has nothing to do with cultivation has nothing to do with me.]

Good lord!

This was a very devout cultivator.

Fortunately, Zhuo Bufan understood. This was also called everyone having their own ambitions. Looks like whatever there was in this forest, he had to rely on himself to slowly explore and discover it.

[Zhuo Bufan: Big Boss, are you ready for today’s group arena?]

[Song Chenxing: Yes, there shouldn’t be any problem. If there’s nothing else, I’m going to meditate for a bit. See you in the arena in the afternoon.]

Zhuo Bufan did not think that in the end, he did not get any substantial gains after asking.

All the way until the afternoon, Zhuo Bufan did his preparations for the arena. As he walked to the Teleportation portal, he thought back on how he had managed to pass through the first few group arena matches safely, and how he should react if the next few matches were more difficult.

“Teleport to the arena!”

A bright light flashed before his eyes. When he opened his eyes, he was already in the arena, watching the current battle unfold.

Bang!

A loud sound was heard!

Zhuo Bufan, who was completely unprepared, took a few steps back out of fright. Fortunately, there was someone behind him who hurriedly supported him, so he did not fall down.

When he looked at the big screen again, it was already filled with red.

“What happened? What happened?”

“The massacre between races has begun!”

The one who spoke was Song Chenxing. Zhuo Bufan forced himself to calm down and thought of those bloody movies he had seen in the past. They were also full of blood on the screen.

However, the visual impact was not even a thousandth of what it was now.

“This… this… this is too cruel.”

“Will it be the same between us and the demons?”

“I really want to withdraw from the competition. I’m not playing anymore!”

Not only was Zhuo Bufan frightened by this scene, the others were the same. When the blood-red color on the screen subsided, they saw that the Centaur on the stage was holding the head of a dwarf in its hands..
