128: Chapter 126 Water Ghost

The entire Tyrant Arena was formed by an intertwined and tangled mass of gruesome, chilling white bones.

The massive bones plunged into the ground like tree roots, and at first glance, they looked like human hands tightly clutching the soil and refusing to let go.

The bone stage extended continuously, and amidst the crisscrossing and twisting, it formed a spacious central dueling arena.

This was a bone-made octagonal cage with a diameter of about 30 meters. The lower part was naturally the stage used for duels, but section by section, the bones around the stage extended upward, ultimately crisscrossing and twisting together to form a massive enclosure intertwined with bones and flesh.

The entire Tyrant Arena exuded a brutal and ruthless aura. Without even needing Wang Ting to explain, Xiang Nan felt a bit chilled just looking at it from the side.

Tap, tap, tap.

The sound of hurried footsteps approached. Wang Ting turned his head to look and discovered that the ones rushing over were unexpectedly Ren Chuan and Feng Bo.

Feng Bo had originally intended to continue keeping the pressure on the team of Bai Shou, Zhong Yuan, and the others nearby. Although it had already been decided to let them join the militia team, the necessary work was not lacking in the slightest.

He hadn't expected that halfway through the routine training, that rumbling sound would come over, greatly startling him. Thinking that some other abnormality had occurred over at the training ground, he had brought his subordinates from the Guard Team and the militia to rush over here in a hurry.

"What happened?"

Ren Chuan on the side also asked hurriedly. He was responsible for commanding all the supplies of the camp and was originally not far from here.

Qu Ling had run into the Infinite Building and even delivered such a magical bracelet to him, saying it was the leader's intention.

Ren Chuan had just tried it out and immediately knew how precious the communication spider carapace was.

This old fellow, upon seeing something good, would definitely try to extract a bit more from Wang Ting, so he immediately hurried over to find Wang Ting.

At this moment, he coincidentally ran into the Tyrant Arena that Wang Ting had set up.

Feng Bo and the others carefully sized up this arena that looked like an octagonal cage.

They had seen quite a few things like this, especially over at the black market.

The black market itself had places meant for human entertainment, combat, and gambling matches. It was inside such arenas that people fought each other, or even fought abnormal entities for amusement.

If one died, they became food in others' mouths; if one survived, they became a more powerful bargaining chip in others' hands.

Seeing Wang Ting suddenly toss out such an arena, their hearts involuntarily skipped a beat, thinking that Wang Ting wanted to watch people fight.

But they quickly ruthlessly dismissed this thought. Someone shook his head, almost giving himself a slap on the face.

If the leader were bloodthirsty and wanted to watch members of the same species slaughter each other, he could have acted long ago. Why bother specifically hunting down those monsters?

Their minds had already achieved logical self-consistency—Wang Ting was a good leader.

He might have a murderous intent, but it was all directed at abnormal entity monsters. It was absolutely impossible for him to pull off something like humans fighting monsters for amusement.

"It can also be considered a creation. A special creation brought over from a large eastern city, specifically meant for soldiers to battle monsters."

"Leader, our number of soldiers is still not very large. If we do this——"

Feng Bo gritted his teeth and was about to offer advice to Wang Ting.

Wang Ting glanced at him without a shred of anger, instead carrying a faint smile. "Old Ren, what did you think I wanted to do? This thing is a creation used for training. When soldiers battle monsters, after killing a monster, they can draw upon the monster's blood essence through this arena. This essence will flow into the warriors' bodies, thereby promoting the growth of their strength."

"How is that possible?"

Everyone wore expressions of shock, and this kind of thought involuntarily popped up in their minds.

This was something they had never heard of before. Hearing its effects, it was actually similar to an enhancement potion.

enhancement potions were scarce in quantity and usually used by captain-level figures; how would they ever care about ordinary people?

Feng Bo immediately realized the importance of the arena before him.

He slightly steadied his breathing, then immediately asked, "Can this arena be used continuously? What about the upper limit of the growth?"

Being able to use it continuously versus only having limited use represented completely different things.

"As long as there are enough monsters, keeping it in continuous use is not a problem. As for the bottleneck——"

Wang Ting's gaze swept across all the militia and Guard Team members who had gathered now, his expression confident. "People who walk out of the Tyrant Arena, as long as they persist, have a very high probability of breaking through human limits, and it's even possible for them to awaken extraordinary pathways."

The breathing sounds inside the cabin became even more hurried. It wasn't just Feng Bo and the others whose hearts were stirred; the Guard Team members and militia beside them were as well.

Their own leader had paved a brand-new path for them once again.

Apart from exchanging blood vine fruit and enhancement potions, they could actually have the chance to break through human limits during daily training or awaken extraordinary pathways?

Loyalty!

Bai Shou, Zhong Yuan, and Xiong Yuan—at this moment, the few of them had only one thought in their minds: to tightly rally around Wang Ting as the core, hold onto the thighs of the Outpost Camp, and work here until retirement.

As long as they were willing to work hard, they could grow stronger step by step. This point was so much better than being precarious wasteland bandits.

"Feng Bo, go catch a few Parasitic Fungus Vines back to spar with everyone, and test just how great the magnitude of enhancement is."

Feng Bo nodded and decisively agreed. "Boss, wait for me a moment. In half an hour, I'll catch 3 Parasitic Fungus Vines back for you."

There were quite a few Parasitic Fungus Vines roaming around the stronghold.

During the day, they naturally didn't dare sneak into the stronghold to cause trouble, but at night, whether it was the slowly regenerating Parasitic Fungus Vines or monsters attracted from the town's central area...

The more monsters on the periphery, the more dangerous the environment was. It was precisely based on the conditions of the surrounding environment that Feng Bo dared to guarantee he could capture Parasitic Fungus Vines in a short time.

Hearing this, Ren Chuan's eyes immediately lit up. "No need to go. Speaking of abnormal entity monsters, we have ready-made ones right in our hands. Have you forgotten the water ghost I bought back from Fisherman Town?"

"You——"

Wang Ting looked at Ren Chuan in surprise. "You finally traded the things back from Fisherman Town, why didn't you tell me? There's actually even a water ghost?"

Ren Chuan was quite pleased with himself. "Fisherman Town was quite cooperative, probably because their food reserves weren't much. There are a total of 3 abnormal entity monsters, and they have fierce vitality. I had people dig a pond to raise them, and these 3 are also tough and durable fellows, still kicking and jumping around right now."

"I also bought a water ghost from them. It looks quite creepy and is locked in an iron cage. I originally intended to proactively report to you, Boss, but I didn't expect that as soon as you came back, you gave everyone such a huge surprise."

After listening to Ren Chuan's report, Wang Ting immediately said, "Ren Chuan, go bring the water ghost over to me. Feng Bo's task remains unchanged; to do testing, it definitely can't be resolved with just one or two abnormal monsters."

"Understood."

The two left one after another. Ren Chuan quickly brought his Guard Team subordinates over while pushing a large iron cage.

Contained within the iron cage was the water ghost that was frantically slamming against the cage. It looked ugly, and seeing so many living people nearby, it immediately let out a sharp howl.
