Chapter 110 Chaotic Slaughter
Chapter 110 Chaotic Slaughter
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 really that 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 operation 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 great 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! Please me with your blood!
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, as long as it provides more essence, it doesn't matter.
Moreover, those who charge to the front are often brainless idiots; the more they die, the higher the average intelligence of his subordinates might be.
"Very well! 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 there was still one ogre that had gone berserk, trying 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?
