"Here, wear this cloak so they don't discover you're a man!"
Angelina casually tossed a cloak to Zhang Chen. He put it on and, mingling with thousands of women, it was indeed difficult for anyone to notice his disguise.
[Arrow Hurricane]!
Angelina shot a glowing arrow into the air. As it reached its apex, it suddenly exploded, raining down countless blue energy arrows that enveloped all the headless scorpions from above!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Bang! Bang!
Under the bombardment of this dense energy, rows of headless scorpions were torn apart and fell to the ground.
The Blacktail Swallow guards immediately moved forward, collecting the fallen bodies row by row.
Seeing this, enthusiastic applause and whistles erupted from the stands.
"They're actually cheering?"
Zhang Chen asked in surprise.
"They're not cheering for me defeating monsters; they're excited that we managed to survive the first wave of attacks!"
"The monsters ahead will only become more terrifying and bizarre! Our casualties will be even more tragic. They are cheering for blood."
A chill crossed Angelina's face as she mentioned the people of the Supreme Being.
"Help... save me..."
A woman wailed towards her companions.
Her left arm had already swollen to the thickness of her thigh, filled with pus.
This woman had been stung by the tail of a headless scorpion!
Her companions, seeing her condition, recoiled as if she were a monster. Some even pointed their weapons at her, preventing her from returning to the crowd.
"I... I was just poisoned, I'll be fine..."
The woman pleaded desperately. By then, the swelling had spread from her arm to her shoulder.
Her clothes had burst from her excessively swollen body.
"Sister, we'll find a way to save you! Try my antidote!"
A girl rushed out from the crowd, applying the antidote to the wound.
"Although we don't understand this monster's toxin, the monsters created by the Supreme Being won't be so easily cured!"
"Besides, looking like that, she's as good as dead! Quickly, come back over here, don't get involved with her!"
Someone in the crowd advised her earnestly.
"My sister saved my life! I won't abandon her when she's in trouble, there must be a way!"
"And it's just poison, not a contagious disease, what are you all afraid of!"
The girl screamed with all her might.
Bang!
Suddenly, the sister's body exploded, and the pus corroded half of the younger sister's body into the same liquefied state.
Before the younger sister could even comprehend what had happened, she looked up in terror as her remaining half body slowly collapsed.
At that moment, applause and whistles erupted from the stands once again.
"You see? This is the scene those people want to witness!"
Angelina said.
Zhang Chen nodded.
These people couldn't see the prompts and didn't know the monsters' skills.
Only those who remained vigilant and didn't foolishly extend kindness would survive.
Soon, a strong energy fluctuation emanated from the four corners of the arena.
It was then that Zhang Chen discovered that there were hidden teleportation portals from Pipe Worms in all four corners.
This time, a group of rolling, wheel-like giant insects, each about ten meters in diameter, charged in.
They barreled out of the teleportation portals, their bodies enveloped in scorching flames.
Name: Lava Beetle
Level: Mutant Type VIII
Skills:
[Scorching Carapace]: The carapace is constantly enveloped in high-temperature flames, burning everything around to ashes.
[Lava Breath]: Can spew lava from its mouth to attack targets.
Note: Even high-level creatures try to avoid these guys. They typically live in active volcanoes.
"Fire arrows, fire arrows!"
Women from a nearby camp began shooting arrows at the Lava Beetles.
However, the arrows turned to ash the moment they approached.
The arrowheads instantly melted into molten iron, weakly splattering against the Lava Beetles' bodies.
The Lava Beetles rolled towards the crowd. Their scorching carapaces caused the clothes and hair of survivors tens of meters away to ignite, while those closer were instantly turned into charcoal.
Wherever the Lava Beetles passed, devastation ensued.
Many people were rolling on the ground, trying to extinguish the flames.
Survivors with ice-elemental talents were also joining forces to attack the beetles, creating utter chaos.
The spectators in the stands seemed extremely pleased with this spectacle, erupting in laughter again.
"There are four Lava Beetles on the field. The Blacktail Swallow Legion took one down, and I took one down individually..."
"The ice-element survivors should hold out for a while, they've managed to control one. As for the remaining ones..."
Angelina frowned and looked around.
Among the women sent as slaves, few possessed formidable combat power. Most were in logistics or non-combat roles.
Aside from wailing and screaming, they offered virtually no assistance.
"Leave the rest to me!"
Zhang Chen said with a smile.
"You? Alright then, remember to survive. I'll be free soon!"
Angelina didn't want to dampen Zhang Chen's spirits, but there were too few people willing to step forward now.
"Okay, then hurry up and fight!"
Zhang Chen agreed and then quickly charged in front of a Lava Beetle that was about to roll into a group of over a hundred survivors!
"Big guy, you can just rest here!"
Zhang Chen slowly raised his hand.
The Lava Beetle was indeed frozen in place. No matter how hard it struggled to move, even letting out strange squeaking noises, it couldn't budge an inch.
"This person... can talk to monsters?"
"That's incredible!"
"Sounds like a man!"
"Most miraculously, the monster actually listens to him..."
A group of women behind him quickly retreated to the wall and began whispering amongst themselves.
Zhang Chen was speechless. He had controlled the monster with his force field ability, yet they interpreted it as him being able to converse with monsters?
Whoosh!
Mo Ran leaped over from the side, standing beside Zhang Chen and complaining with a pout,
"Dad, how am I supposed to fight these guys without using my silk? They're too hot, I can't even touch them!"
Mo Ran's small face was blackened by smoke, and holes were burned in the black silk on her body, arms, and thighs, revealing her fair skin beneath.
"Then we won't fight this one. Pick the ones you can fight!"
Zhang Chen reached out and wiped Mo Ran's little face, saying with affection.
"Oh, then I'll sit and rest for a while, and change my clothes!"
As Mo Ran spoke, the black silk on her body began to peel off, gradually revealing her tender, fair body as pure as mutton-fat jade.
"Hey, don't undress in front of everyone!"
Zhang Chen quickly raised his hand and covered Mo Ran with the cloak in front of him, saying nervously.
Can't let those guys in the stands benefit!
