The news that the Shrek squad was going to fight again soon spread throughout Jiali City, especially among the human vassal settlements.In the last battle, the Shrek squad defeated the Sword Demon Squad, which truly was beyond everyone's expectations. More importantly, the Shrek squad demonstrated a strength beyond what many spectators could imagine. However, the squad also suffered heavy losses in that fight. It had only been a little over half a month, had they already recovered? Were they really ready to fight again?
For humans, this was definitely good news. Regardless of the outcome of the fifth battle, at the very least, it proved that the Shrek squad was intact and could participate in the competition once more.
With deliberate promotion by the Grand Animal Fighting Arena, the heat for this group fight quickly turned into a focal event. As for the Shrek squad's opponent, the Grand Animal Fighting Arena chose to keep it a strict secret.
The betting pool opened, and the victory or defeat bets re-emerged.
After learning of this news, Wu Bingji wanted to participate but was stopped by Tang San. They would not engage in gambling.
Tang San had his reasons; he did not want his teammates to get used to earning money through gambling. Such a habit that could lead to gambling addiction should not be fostered. Moreover, once they placed bets, if the amount was too large, it could easily attract the attention of the Grand Animal Fighting Arena officials. Winning once could lead to a second time, with even larger betting amounts, and under the inability to control their own desires, they could likely be targeted by the Grand Animal Fighting Arena. Their goal was to obtain noble status, not to seek fortune and take risks here.
Wu Bingji was successfully persuaded by Tang San, and before leaving, he even left all his Elemental Coins in Golden Valley. He also told the Red Fox girls that if they couldn't return, the money should be given to the mayor.
Although everyone felt that planting such a flag was not very auspicious, they let him do as he wished.
Once again coming to the Grand Animal Fighting Arena, the Shrek squad entered low-key. They seemed to have grown somewhat accustomed to this place reeking of blood. Sёarch* The NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Especially when recalling the scene of the last match, Wu Bingji, Cheng Zicheng, and Gu Li, who had all been severely injured, still felt a sense of lingering fear.
Yesterday evening, Tang San had already brought back news, informing them of what kind of Race combination their opponents would be today.
Today's fifth battle would be anything but easy.
The opponents they were facing today belonged to a strong race. The hint the Bloodthirsty Devil Ape gave Tang San about the race of their opponents was just one word, tiger!
The Tiger Clan, all five opponents were from the Tiger Clan.
The tiger is known as the king of beasts, and within the Monster Race, the Tiger Demon Line is naturally extremely powerful as well. The White Tiger Great Demon King has always been one of the top powerhouses among the Monsters, ruling all Tiger Demons. There are also strong beings from the Golden Tiger Line, all very formidable.
Besides, there are many branches within the Tiger Clan, none of them weak. Even the weakest Tiger Demon Clan is not lower than Third Stage bloodline power.
Their opponents today were Tiger Demons, so it was very unlikely to encounter a Tiger Demon of the Golden Tiger level. Golden Tigers hold a dignified status and wouldn't lower themselves to participate in something like the Grand Animal Fighting Arena. Nobles are merely spectators.
But without a doubt, their opponents would be very powerful, and their strength would not be inferior to the previous Sword Demon Squad.
Considering some of the characteristics of Tiger Demons, Tang San had also made some specific tactical arrangements.
When they arrived at the Grand Animal Fighting Arena, it wasn't evening yet, and it was still very bright outside, but the streets were already bustling and packed with people. Yes, all humans.
They were all looking forward to the arrival of this game, and as they passed by, nearly all the discussions heard were about the Shrek squad. The current Shrek squad was, in a word, the pride of humankind.
This was motivation, but also pressure.
"The third Array Plate can be used today, Brother Du Bai," Tang San said to Du Bai.
Du Bai's eyes lit up. Tang San had not allowed him to use the third Array Plate before. In the last match, under such circumstances, it would've been useless to deploy it because once the third Array Plate is used, the Ascending Spirit Formation cannot be activated due to a certain conflict.
"No problem."
Grand Animal Fighting Arena.
The host was already warming up the crowd.
"Today we have a full house again, and I believe many nobles are here to see if the Shrek squad can continue their journey. This team has been creating miracles. Every time we think they will not be able to contend with powerful opponents, they always manage to crush their adversaries and move forward. They continue their journey with violent methods like head explosions. So, what kind of existence will they face today? I can give you a little hint, this team has already secured victories in five team battles. Moreover, they haven't appeared in the Grand Animal Fighting Arena for some time. Just right, they came to participate in the competition, and have stayed in the Grand Animal Fighting Arena for three days, so they do not know who their opponents are today. But I believe, this team is probably a vast chasm that the Shrek squad will find very difficult to cross. In front of absolute power, all tactics are paper tigers."
"The betting for victory or defeat is still open, right up to the last moment before the match starts. Those who like to bet on the Time Plate can start placing their bets now. Today's Time Plate is set at increments of three minutes. Let me share a secret, I personally placed my bet on the outcome being decided within six minutes. Hehe. So, noble guests, you can ponder how you want to bet."
Hearing the host's words, there was immediate laughter in the stands, "Bet the opposite, dream of villas by the sea."
The host said disdainfully, "What's so good about the sea? Eat Sea Monsters every day? My choices have always been steady."
Laughter erupted once again; clearly, the host's reputation in this regard was not very good.
"Without further ado, the final countdown begins!"
The last ten minutes of betting time passed quickly, signaling that the team battle was about to commence.
Two huge gates slowly rose, and the five members of the Shrek squad were soon in sight again. Although they were all wearing masks, one could still tell from their body shapes and general appearance that the Shrek squad had not changed members, they were still the original five. And they indeed appeared to have recovered from their injuries.
The Shrek squad's captain, who had ignited his bloodline power, was still standing at the forefront, and it seemed as if the life force he had consumed earlier had already been restored.
Of course, there are heavenly treasures that can restore life force and serve as restoratives, but their prices are absolutely exorbitant. This was why Tang San had previously told the Bloodthirsty Devil Ape that they had spent a large amount of money to recover, and it was believed.
For the humans who came to watch the fight, seeing the complete Shrek squad excited them greatly. The number of humans that came to watch today had increased by a third from last time.
However, when the audience's attention was drawn to the other gate, they couldn't help but gasp in shock.
The opponents of the Shrek squad were five team members, all of whom were over two and a half meters tall with strong builds and a fierce aura.
Their most common feature was the massive 'king' character on their foreheads.
They had black hair, the 'king' character on their foreheads was black, and the arms that were exposed had black fur with some yellow-brown stripes.
Demon Tigers! From the Tiger Clan, with nearly a Second Level bloodline, Demon Tigers!
Also known as Dark Demon Tigers, they are somewhat antisocial within the Tiger Clan. They have a brutal nature, excel in darkness element control, and possess strong strength. But unlike those who are proficient with the Light attribute like the Golden Tigers, or even the advanced White Tigers, they are opposed by nature. As the Demon Tiger Line does not have a Great Demon Emperor, they can't contend with the mainstream of the Tiger Demon Clan.
But this doesn't mean that the Demon Tigers are not strong. On the contrary, they are a very powerful branch within the Tiger Clan. Their bloodline power is not much inferior to that of the Golden Tigers, and this is where the term 'nearly Level 2 Bloodline' comes from.
