Looking at those gazes, Thor couldn't help but ponder how to stir up their more intense emotions.

50 points of spiritual essence per day is far from enough; he needs far more spiritual essence to exchange for everything he needs.

Perhaps I could take inspiration from Rome in my previous life and build an arena where my evil creatures could fight freely, and whoever won 10 consecutive matches would receive my reward.

In this way, not only can their bloodlust be satisfied, but they can also train a group of capable subordinates.

The dead are not wasted; their corpses can be used as food for other evil creatures, and their souls are transformed into essence.

As for whether doing so would result in too many casualties among his men, leading to severe attrition.

All Saul could say was that these creatures, like dogs, could easily have four or five puppies in one litter, and could produce a litter every few months. They just wouldn't die out, they simply wouldn't die out.

Moreover, he could let them fight each other for a while, initially select some stronger ones, and then have them form a slave-catching team to capture more subordinates from all directions.

In fact, as long as the rewards Thor offers are attractive enough, there's no need for him to catch them; a steady stream of evil creatures will come to him willingly.

More creatures mean more essence, and more essence can yield more attractive rewards, growing like a snowball, siphoning off the entire wilderness, and forging its own legend with their blood and souls.

Without hesitation, Thor summoned a group of kobolds and ordered them to gather all the evil creatures under his command.

At midday, thousands of strange creatures gathered on the open ground in front of his lair on the cliff. A cacophony of noises arose as they rubbed against each other, and roars and fights could be heard from time to time.

Seeing their energetic appearance, Thor nodded in satisfaction and growled in a low voice:

"Shut up, all of you. Anyone who makes another sound will become the jackals' dinner."

A powerful sonic boom swept through the air, instantly silencing the clamor below and leaving all the evil creatures trembling in fear.

The old bear-man stood at the forefront of the beastmen's ranks. He was ordered by Thor to teach these humans, who were born to walk the path of the wild, how to find, communicate with, and capture the spirits of beasts.

Looking at the now even more powerful red dragon lazily lying on the stone platform, he felt as if the whole world was somewhat unreal.

How could a dragon's strength grow so quickly, with two leaps in growth occurring in just over a month?

And what's with those armor-like metallic scales? Does this red dragon have the blood of a metal dragon or a sub-iron dragon flowing through its veins?

And that exaggerated tail, as large as a giant blade, was not a tool for hunting, but a terrifying weapon for fighting giants.

Even other true dragons of the same size would likely be disemboweled if they were swept by this tail.

Compared to the panic and unease of the other evil creatures, the kobolds appeared increasingly excited and fanatical.

The great dragon lord has become even stronger. Look at his majestic body, his holy posture, and the immense magical power he exudes.

If they weren't too weak, they would have been tempted to rush up and kiss the scorching footprints left by the dragon lord on the ground.

Equally excited were the group of hairy, smelly jackals.

Good heavens! What did the great Dragon Lord just say? The disrespectful ones will be the gnolls' dinner, which proves that the Dragon Lord still remembers them.

As one of the first followers of the great red dragon, although his current status in the dragon lord's heart has been surpassed by the sycophantic kobolds.

But one day, the great Burning Wings will discover who his most loyal and excellent followers are.

……

Thor casually glanced at his men below, his molten gold pupils seeming to pulsate with magma.

He had no idea what was going through the minds of these tiny creatures, nor was he interested in knowing; he simply roared in a loud voice:

“You lowly creatures, look at yourselves! Weak, cowardly, and utterly vulnerable, you are as worthless as newborn goblins.”

The great red dragon has no need for trash; it's time to show your power.

I will designate a special arena for you to fight. Whether you are confident in your strength or just don't like each other, you can come up here and settle things.

I will bestow upon any creature that wins 10 matches a treasure that will enhance its power.

If I can win 100 matches, I will personally transform it into a true dragonborn.

Come! Fight! Please me with your blood and courage, and in return, I will grant you boundless power!

A resounding dragon roar echoed in the air, and everything around seemed to freeze.

In the next instant, the evil creatures surrounding the rock wall roared excitedly, like a powder keg that had been lit.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!!"

"My claws are itching to pounce!"

"The great Dragon Lord will witness who is the strongest among his subordinates!"

Bizarre-shaped monsters waved their arms and legs wildly under the scorching sun, accompanied by a cacophony of hoarse or shrill sounds, creating a scene resembling a chaotic dance of demons.

As evil creatures, they crave blood, crave slaughter, and crave the sensation of claws tearing flesh apart.

At least this way, the great dragon lord won't treat them like serfs.

Chapter 110 Chaotic Slaughter (Part 1)

Lying down? That's absolutely impossible. Thor would never allow any of his men to even entertain the thought of lying down.

Throughout the hilly mountain range, there are so many terraced fields waiting to be cultivated. After the crops are sown, daily watering, pest control, and fertilization are all essential.

He also planned to build several large animal pens specifically for livestock breeding once the corn and potatoes were harvested.

Otherwise, it would be incredibly embarrassing for a great red dragon like him to have to hunt for food himself sometimes. If other true dragons knew this, it would be a huge embarrassment.

I've heard that dinosaurs still live in those remote, untouched places deep in the wilderness.

As a red dragon that combines multiple monster templates, Thor felt that he probably liked the taste of those herbivorous dragons and planned to find a way to introduce some of them, as they also needed food crops as feed.

That's why Thor set the daily gladiatorial combat time at 3 p.m., to ensure that his evil creatures could dedicate at least 6 hours a day to their work.

The next day, as the sun began to set, almost all the evil creatures in the area gathered once again on the open ground in front of the cliff where Thor's lair was located.

Although the work of most of the day was arduous, these creatures were so excited that they felt no fatigue at all, and they all looked at the cave on the rock wall with anticipation.

Amidst the intense anticipation of the crowd, the enormous red dragon emerged with heavy steps. Its sharp claws left pits on the rocks, and its long, slender tail blade, as sharp as a knife or sword, could easily scrape off large amounts of stone dust with a gentle sweep.

Thor looked at his men who had arrived on time, but he felt that something was missing.

Is it a bit too casual to just randomly mark out an open space and let them fight?

Sure enough, a gladiatorial arena should be built large and magnificent; the one in front of us is just a makeshift shack.

Moreover, certain architecture can often stimulate and amplify the emotions of living beings to a certain extent. Just like all churches, which are built tall and solemn, with high domes and stained glass windows, they can make people who walk in feel awe and reverence.

If you wanted to emulate ancient Rome and build a huge and magnificent amphitheater, how would you do it?

Thor's gaze swept around and finally settled on a low hill not far away.

It was a rocky hill with a diameter of over 1,000 meters but a height of only 500 meters, looking like a raised steamed bun.

If you flatten the top, hollow out the inside, and carve steps around it, wouldn't it be a ready-made colosseum?

Thinking of this, his gaze became even more fervent.

However, such a large project cannot be completed in a short time, so let's hold it on the open ground for now. A makeshift team is fine, as long as it increases our income from spiritual essence, it's better than nothing.

Thoughts flashed through his mind, Thor's golden eyes fixed on the evil creature below, a ferocious smile spreading across his lips as he roared.

"It's a pleasure to see you here. It shows that even though you are weak, dirty, and worthless, you still have at least a little courage."

Now, let's begin the battle! Let your blood please me!

As soon as he finished speaking, a scorching beam of light, orange-red with a hint of blue, shot out from his mouth. The ground struck by the beam quickly turned red and softened. As he moved his head, a crimson circle with a diameter of over a hundred meters was drawn on the ground below.

"Now! Those who are confident in their abilities, step into this circle and accept the challenge from the other creatures!"

The evil creature, which had been jumping back in fear of the heat rays, roared excitedly upon hearing this and surged forward in a chaotic frenzy.

They all wanted to be the first to rush into the circle, to demonstrate their strength before the great dragon lord, and thus reap rich rewards.

In a short time, dozens or even hundreds of evil creatures surged into the circle, and many more creatures were pushing forward from behind.

The chaotic scene below did not anger Thor; instead, it brought a pleased smile to his face.

Whether it's a one-on-one duel or a large-scale melee involving dozens or hundreds of animals, it doesn't matter as long as it provides more essence.

Moreover, those who charge at the forefront are often brainless idiots; the more they die, the higher the average intelligence of his subordinates might be.

"Very good! Time's up. The battle begins now. There's only one condition for victory: be the last one standing!"

A thunderous dragon roar resounded once more, but one ogre, already possessed, still tried to charge into the circle.

Thor's pupils contracted instantly as a scorching ray flashed past, slicing him vertically in two like a hot knife through butter.

The foul-smelling entrails spilled out, but the cannibal's tenacious vitality kept its body from dying immediately, and it convulsed and struggled wildly driven by instinct.

The terrifying scene was like a bucket of cold water poured over the heads of the many evil creatures, cooling down their feverish heads.

No longer daring to rush forward recklessly, they instead retreated in unison, giving the evil creatures already in the circle room to maneuver.

The evil creatures surrounded in the middle seemed to have calmed down a bit, warily watching their former companions, and for a moment none of them dared to make the first move.

Then, a poisoned arrow, less than a foot long, shot out from nowhere and pierced the waist of a werewolf. The already tense atmosphere instantly exploded, and a chaotic battle broke out.

All living beings are enemies, and danger can come from any corner.

In this situation, to survive, in addition to strong abilities, quick reflexes, and sharp insight, one also needs a certain amount of luck.

Then a bear goblin, over two and a half meters tall, roared loudly and swung a wooden club thicker than an adult's thigh, smashing the head of a poison lizardman into its chest with a single blow.

But in the next instant, a sharp spear followed closely, piercing the goblin's back and killing it instantly.

Before the beastman who had killed the bear goblin by a sneak attack could even rejoice, two giant hyenas pounced from both sides, tearing his body apart.

The battle entered its most intense and heated phase almost instantly at the start.

Every moment, lives are being lost, and the thick stench of blood lingers in the air. The blood, mixed with the mud and sand on the ground, is trampled into a nauseating blackish-red color.

Those broken souls that drifted out from the corpses should have followed the guidance of the unseen world to the River Styx in the abyss.

But at that moment, an invisible force of attraction enveloped the entire open space, sucking all these broken souls into a giant rotating disc.

Mental Essence +0.4.

Mental Essence +0.5.

Spiritual essence...

In just a short while, Thor's essence balance increased by more than ten points.

But at this moment, he was lying on the protruding platform at the entrance of the nest, scratching his chin with his claws in boredom, and began to think: Is it too wasteful to let all that blood flow away like this?

Chapter 111 Chaotic Slaughter

"Kill them! Kill them all!"

"Yes! That's it! Bite down hard!"

"Rivers of blood! Haha! It really is rivers of blood!"

…………

They've gone mad! They've all gone completely mad!

A boar-man clutched his ripped-open belly, desperately trying to stuff his exposed intestines back in.

The excruciating pain and the threat of death caused his eyes, which had been red from bloodshotness, to return to their clear, dark brown color.

A tremendous fear filled his heart, making him feel terrified and desperately wanting to withdraw from this brutal battle.

However, looking around, all he saw were crazed and ferocious figures. Even the spectators on the outside seemed to be infected, some of them even lying on the ground, greedily licking the blood that was spreading towards them.

'No! I can't die here! I must live!'

He struggled to push aside an evil creature blocking his way, staggering to the edge of the circle. If he could just cross this line of death formed from solidified lava, he might still have a chance to survive, given his physical constitution and regenerative abilities.

But just as he lifted his thick hooves, five or six hands and claws came from the front and slammed down on him like a wall, completely extinguishing his only chance of survival.

"This guy's trying to escape!"

"Push him back! Push him back!"
