Su Shi looked around and observed. They noticed that most of the hawkers on the street were from “inferior” races like dogs and rats.
On the other hand, even if the leopards and eagles from other races had low cultivation, they still strutted arrogantly on the street, surrounded by many servants.
There were even people openly trading slaves. Beautiful rabbits and sheep girls were locked in cages like commodities for sale.
Previously, in the Green Hill Plains, there was no such feeling. But now, in this mixed city of Kodo, the hierarchical rules of the Barbarian Realm were clearly demonstrated.
“What the hell are you looking at?” a loud voice came from afar.
They saw a man with wolf ears kicking a young dog tribe boy to the ground. He continued to kick him, causing the boy’s face to turn blue and swell, with blood flowing. All because the boy didn’t bow when passing him.
The young dog tribe boy clenched his teeth and remained silent. The nearby dog tribe people had pale faces, but they could only stand there without anyone daring to intervene. The surrounding pedestrians also turned a blind eye, as if this was already the norm.
Yu Ren’er shifted their gaze and said, “Brother Su Shi, let’s go.”
“Okay.” Su Shi nodded.
The two quietly walked away.
The sound of beatings became distant.
After a moment of silence, Yu Ren’er whispered, “Brother Su Shi, do you think I’m too heartless?”
Su Shi shook their head and said, “Why do you say that?”
Yu Ren’er sighed, “The talents and bloodlines of different races are closely related, and they are already predetermined even before birth. Although the dog tribe has a large population, there is not one with innate cultivation talent. This is an unchangeable fact, so they can only be subordinates of the wolf tribe.”
“The boy who was beaten just now, as long as he grits his teeth, he can always get through it. But if I intervene recklessly, it will only bring him and his people calamity.
“In times like these, helping him would actually harm him. The best choice is to turn a blind eye.”
Looking at her gloomy expression, Su Shi reached out and touched her hair, comforting her, “This is not your fault. Not only in the Barbarian Realm, even in the Human Realm, such things are common. Bloodline, family, sects, they are like mountains pressing down on the heads of all living beings. Oppression is the norm, it’s just that it’s not as blatant as with the non-human races. If they want to change their fate, it seems that intermarriage is the only way,” Su Shi pondered.
Yu Ren’er shook her head, “In the eyes of the non-human races, bloodline is the most important thing. To ensure the purity of bloodline, there are explicit agreements between the major noble clans that strictly prohibit intermarriage with outsiders. Otherwise, impure blood will be eradicated completely.”
“Are there any seats left?” Yu Ren’er asked.
The guard quickly nodded and said, “Of course, please come in.”
After saying so, he stepped aside.
Making a reservation in advance was necessary to enter the Beast Arena, but with Yu Ren’er’s status, there was naturally no need for such trouble.
They walked through the arched gate and climbed up the layered steps, passing through a long corridor, and suddenly the view opened up.
Ahead was a circular sandy field, and the seats around it were arranged in a tiered manner. The area was vast enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people.
“So it really is the Beast Arena?” Su Shi was stunned.
This place looked exactly like the Roman Colosseum. Most of the audience had already entered, and from afar, it looked like a sea of people.
“Ren’er?” At this moment, a gentle and charming voice sounded.
Turning to look, they saw a tall woman walking over. She had long black hair tied up in a bun, fair and delicate cheeks, and a slender waist swaying under a green dress, as if she had no bones like a snake.
She looked at Yu Ren’er in surprise and said, “Ren’er, why are you here?”
“Sister She, long time no see,” Yu Ren’er greeted her. At the same time, she transmitted her voice to Su Shi, “Her name is She Yu, the legitimate successor of the Snake Clan. We have a good relationship.”
The Snake Clan was formidable. It was said that they had the bloodline of real dragons, and if even a hint of it awakened, their power would be limitless.
“You always found the Beast Arena too bloody. Why are you in the mood to come today?” Yu She curiously asked.
Yu Ren’er said, “Nothing special, I just happened to pass by here, so I came in casually.”
“Is that so?” Yu She looked at Su Shi beside her, her emerald vertical pupils looking very enchanting.
“I wonder who this is...”
Yu Ren’er said, “He’s my friend.” Yu She’s gaze paused for a moment, but she didn’t say much.
“You two, follow me. There are quite a few acquaintances here today.”
