Chapter 323: Chapter 316: Second Update

Boss Biao watched as The Savage approached, it’s towering stature genuinely terrifying, its body covered with long hair resembled a gigantic gorilla. However, no one had ever seen such a big gorilla before.

"Listen, no one chickens out, if anyone does we’re all done for. If you want to get out alive, hack them to death—" Boss Biao, after all, had seen the world and immediately spoke up.

Among the prisoners were also men of great strength, and naturally, they saw the sense in Boss Biao’s words, gripping their knives and swords tightly.

Lu Hu held his crossbow, feeling it unnecessary now.

Now that both sides were armed, the chances of survival were slim, there was no such thing as being cautious anymore.

"Lord Lu, Lord Lu," a guard quickly approached with an anxious expression.

Lu Hu frowned, what could go wrong now?

"Lord Lu, the guard at the wooden fence just found a woman among the prisoners," the guard said, his face panicked. How could there be a woman? They hadn’t seen her when they were rounding people up.

"A woman? Why bring a woman?" Lu Hu frowned.

The guard hesitated, not daring to speak, as they also didn’t know how there had come to be an extra woman.

"Lord, what should we do now?"

"What can we do? Can we pull people out from there? Either way, it’s death, we won’t last long, just throw them all in later—" Lu Hu gestured dismissively.

The guard quickly went back down, and Lu Hu looked around; on the podium, only he was left, the guards below made sure those attached chains wouldn’t loosen, each chain watched by one guard.

Lu Hu felt he had not been thorough enough, from now on, when out with the Fourth Prince, he must bring half of the Loyal Warriors of Wen Family to satisfy the Fourth Prince’s frequently eccentric ideas.

"Cousin, look, look, Stone is attacking, Stone actually knows how to attack," Zheng Haoyuan exclaimed like a child, and Zong Yunqian could no longer sit still, rising to his feet.

"Fourth Prince, Princess Chao Ren, I’m really not interested in this, I’ll leave first and wait for you at the foot of the mountain," said Zong Yunqian.

But both Zheng Haoyuan and Zheng Nianru’s attention was on The Savage in the arena, they didn’t hear what Zong Yunqian said.

The Savage, holding a knife awkwardly, mimicked human poses and ludicrously charged at the gathered prisoners; Zheng Haoyuan couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

Zheng Nianru unfolded her fan and slowly fanned herself.

Zong Yunqian’s face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot, about to speak again, when Zheng Haoyuan finally seemed to hear him.

"Ah, Heir Zong, I did tell you earlier, feel free to leave if you don’t like it, I didn’t force you to stay—"

Upon hearing this, Xi Feng wanted to step forward, Zong Yunqian immediately felt this was all his own doing and turned to leave just as a sharp scream erupted from the arena.

The Savage had launched an attack, chopping down with his knife, directly severing an attacking prisoner’s jumping arm, and onlookers in the stands could clearly see the severed arm twitching on the grass.

The man whose arm was severed fell onto the grass, rolling around, blood spurting from the wound, while a startled scream came from beside him.

The scream was sharp and thin, clearly not a sound a man would make.

Zong Yunqian halted his steps, his eyes shifting, instantly looking towards the center, only to see the kneeling, shrieking person, with hair already spread out, was none other than a woman.

Zheng Nianru and Zheng Haoyuan seemed to have noticed too; Zheng Haoyuan’s eyes showed a hint of disappointment, but fortunately, the fighting continued, drawing his attention back to others.

Boss Biao and his brothers coordinated very tacitly, attacking The Savage’s lower body while rushing towards the direction of the ferocious tiger; The Savage, while chopping, chased after them, and the onlookers in the stands were now able to discern the prisoners’ intent to draw The Savage towards the tiger.

"Lu Hu, Lu Hu—" Zheng Haoyuan recognized the prisoners’ intentions and immediately shouted.

Lu Hu hadn’t returned yet, Zheng Nianru quickly grabbed Zheng Haoyuan, signaling him to watch the arena.

The Savage, unaware of the prisoners’ plan, charged directly into the tiger’s territory. The tiger, seeing sudden prey leap at it, immediately pounced, Boss Biao rolled on the ground, narrowly missing the tiger’s claws, while The Savage charged straight at the tiger’s head with a chop.

The tiger roared, its body forced down to the ground, rolling over, it immediately lunged back at The Savage.

Suddenly a fierce fight erupted in the arena, Boss Biao and his brothers had drawn The Savage there but found themselves trapped as well, with both the tiger and The Savage lunging at them.

"Boss, think of something quick—" one of the brothers couldn’t hold on any longer, his chest smashed by the tiger’s paw, his ribs already broken.

In his panic, Boss Biao glanced at the prisoners still stunned outside the arena and came up with a plan.

"Run now— " Boss Biao yelled at the prisoners; they paused for a moment, then understanding dawned, with the tiger and The Savage fighting, it had left a section of the wooden fence unguarded, presenting a perfect chance to escape.

The prisoners immediately scrambled for the wooden fence, and while the wolf was deterred by the tiger’s presence, it didn’t dare approach; one of the prisoners had already climbed over the top of the fence and jumped down, the other side was a steep slope leading to deep mountains and forests, unguarded by any guards.

Other prisoners, suddenly seeing a glimmer of hope, rapidly climbed towards the fence.

"Big brother, are you carving us out a path?" Boss Biao’s subordinates suddenly looked dismayed; they had to reach the fence, which meant getting past both The Savage and the tiger.

"Don’t panic—" Boss Biao coolly observed, sure enough, The Savage seemed to notice the people on the fence and subconsciously, his master had sent him to kill humans, not tigers.

The tiger, realizing The Savage was not to be messed with, eager for something to fill its stomach, turned its gaze towards the prisoners on the fence.
