Ah? The ladies I stabbed have come true.

Chapter 22 Tushan's blood can prolong life

[When you arrived at the Blood Hunting Garden, someone was fighting a ferocious beast in the blood fighting arena.]

[The bloody arena is an earthen square as big as two football fields, with dozens of huge bronze tripods placed on the edge of the field.

These huge bronze tripods were not only used to lock the beasts inside to prevent them from escaping, but also contained the bones of many cooked beasts and humans. These were the beasts that died in battle and were offered as sacrifices to ancestors and the gods.

The audience on the surrounding platforms consisted of bored aristocrats and some wealthy commoners.

Only by facing the bloody slaughter here can they find some excitement in life.

[Of course, this also led to gambling. Among the currency of the Shang Dynasty, the most precious was the shell jade. The total amount of bets placed each time was increased, and the shell jade piled up like a small mountain.]

[You were initially imprisoned with a group of slaves. Everyone had a look of despair on their faces, their eyes dull as they stared blankly at you.]

[At this moment, you clearly know that you have lost all chances of escape.]

[Soon, a bloody fight begins.]

[A huge cheer came from the surrounding viewing platforms, and you and the other nine slaves were pushed into the bloody arena.]

The moment you step onto the ground of this bloody arena, you feel as if it is made of piled flesh and blood.

The long process of decay made the bloodbath stench so bad it filled the air, flies and mosquitoes flew everywhere, some even flew right into your face.

[With a roar, you also saw the existence you and the other nine slaves were about to face.]

[That was a ferocious beast.]

On the Zhang'e Mountain there is a beast that looks like a red leopard, has five tails and one horn, and makes a sound like hitting rocks. Its name is Zheng.

This ferocious beast had previously devoured the flesh and blood of hundreds of slaves, and its body had evolved into hard, dense scales. All the spectators watched this with excitement.

[At this moment, the stakes are piled up in a tripod, gleaming with dazzling jade light.]

[In their view, the stakes placed on this tripod will bring them rich rewards in the future.]

[At this moment, blood, violence, and money occupied everyone's mind.]

[Inside the Colosseum.]

[You discovered that the ferocious beast seemed to have gained intelligence, and it did not immediately attack you and the other slaves.]

【Instead, they will surround you and torture you to death bit by bit.】

[This brought a strong sense of oppression, and two slaves were unable to control themselves and collapsed to the ground with weak legs.]

[However, some nobles on the scene were losing their patience.]

"Come on, eat these slaves!"

As they spoke, the nobles threw the dried meat in their hands into the bloody arena, some of which landed precisely on the ferocious beasts.

"Roar!"

The ferocious beast looked at the people in the stands with a malicious look, but the next second it hid its gaze, then changed its playful strategy and charged towards where your slaves were standing.

【Everyone else has already run away, leaving you alone standing there.】

【The atmosphere was pushed to its highest point at this moment.】

Everyone looked at you with red faces, anticipating the moment you would be torn to pieces by the ferocious beast.

【It’s just that you let everyone down. 】

[Not only did the ferocious beast not tear you apart, you actually rode on it.]

【Your performance surprised everyone. 】

[They didn't know when such a powerful slave was sent.]

The ferocious beast continuously leaps back and forth, attempting to throw you off its body. Simultaneously, a thick purple mist emanates from its body. You immediately sense a fishy stench, and then your entire body glows an abnormal purple-red.

[However, your arms were tightly gripping the beast's neck, and the beast was struggling frantically due to the pain of suffocation.]

Even if your body is as strong as a bull, facing the powerful strength of this beast, it will begin to feel a little weak.

[I don’t know if it’s an illusion.]

[Out of the corner of your eye, you caught sight of a figure in the audience that shouldn't have been there.]

[She was a woman shrouded in a black robe and veil, with only a pair of beautiful eyes visible.]

[The woman is looking at you coldly, her beautiful eyebrows furrowed.] [You recognize the woman.]

【Daji.】

She came here, abandoned you, and then came to watch you fight a bloody battle.

You are very angry, but you can't do anything about it.

[I can only vent my anger on the ferocious beast.]

[And the ferocious beast's body gradually softened under your grip.]

【You won this game. 】

The audience was extremely angry. They thought such a thing could never happen.

[They raised their hands and shouted in unison.]

"Execute him!"

"Execute him!"

"Execute him!"

[After you got off the beast's body, the beast's venom began to take effect in your body.]

You passed out.

The screen on Su Mo's side went black.

Then the screen began to illuminate, and the surroundings were no longer the slave camp of the Blood Hunting Garden, but a familiar room in the palace.

Su Mo was a little surprised when he saw this scene.

Was this brought back by Daji again?
I don't know what she wants to express by doing this.

Or if the simulated self is disobedient, give him a beating.

……

[You woke up and found that the bronze collar was put around your neck again.]

【Looking at the familiar surroundings, your heart is filled with doubts. 】

[Because you clearly know that you fainted in that bloody fight.]

According to tradition, whether dead or alive, one will be sacrificed by having their scalp peeled off and thrown into a cauldron filled with boiling water.

The moment you woke up, Daji opened the door and walked in. Today, she was wearing a red silk cloak and looked much more energetic than before.

【Seeing you, Daji's eyelashes trembled slightly. 】

"woke up?"

"Come with me."

[Without further ado, she turned and left.]

Although your body is very weak, you cannot refuse now. Follow Daji and enter the palace where she lives, but you have never been.

[After arriving at the palace, you discovered that besides the four pillars supporting the building, there were only nine bronze tripods and a transparent crystal coffin.]

[The bronze tripod is engraved with Taotie patterns, and something seems to be flowing from Taotie's eyes.]

[You don't understand why such ominous animal patterns were carved on this tripod.]

[And inside the transparent crystal coffin lies a person.]

The man's chest was covered in blood-red crystals. From a distance, it looked as if the red crystals were flowing out of his heart.

[Although it has been nearly ten years since you last saw him, you still recognized him at a glance. This is King Di Xin of Shang.]

[You wouldn't have guessed that after King Di Xin of Shang fell into a coma, he remained lying in a crystal coffin, with no idea what kept him alive.]

[While you were thinking, Daji had already arrived in front of the crystal coffin, pulled out a bone knife, and slashed her wrist. The blood flowed from her wrist and dripped onto the chest of King Di Xin of Shang, staining it red.]

[Looking at your puzzled gaze, Daji chuckled.]

"Tushan's blood can prolong life."
