Chapter 316 - 313: One More Update
Zheng Nianru was immediately attracted to the animals chaotically flying about in the arena, the wild rabbits, foxes, and wolves, all with the natural instinct for danger and the same propensity for killing.
A wild fox immediately spotted a rabbit that had come its way, and in its panic, almost collided with it. The rabbit was also agile, rolling mid-way and escaping in the opposite direction, its powerful hind legs kicking up dirt that swept across the fox’s face.
The next moment, the fox sprang forward, pouncing on the rabbit and biting down on its neck.
The bloody scene seemed so real that the scent of blood appeared to waft over. Zheng Nianru leaned forward unconsciously, gripping the peacock feather fan tightly to suppress the excitement in her heart.
Zheng Haoyuan glanced at his cousin, feeling proud. This was just a small scene.
But the next moment, the fox suddenly leapt into the air. The Savage loomed over it like a colossal figure, casting a large shadow. In an instant, The Savage caught the airborne fox, holding its head in one hand and its thigh in the other. With both hands exerting force and one knee bending, it struck the fox’s spine fiercely.
"Crack—" The sound was both distant and clear, as if right beside her ear. Zheng Nianru’s mouth couldn’t help but curl up. She straightened her back, her entire spine seemingly sympathetic with sweat.
Zong Yunqian sat in his place, watching the scene in front of him.
He was born into one of the Aristocratic Gentry Clans; such spectacles weren’t only common in the Royal Family but also in the Aristocratic Families. All Zheng Haoyuan did was replace the wild beasts with a more uncommon Savage.
Zong Yunqian was not unfamiliar with The Savage, having witnessed an attack on an estate by The Savage during his time at the Northwest Border. This particular Savage wasn’t even the largest he’d seen.
However, he didn’t enjoy this type of entertainment. It wasn’t the resurging stench of blood that filled the arena that he disliked; it was the malice behind it: the wanton killing for personal amusement.
In nature, survival of the fittest is an animal’s instinct, but here, all life and death served only to satisfy the morbid curiosity of the spectators.
