Chapter 1003: Collateral? Are these enough?

“Haha.”

Lie Hu probably felt Mingxi’s confusion and couldn’t help but chuckle.

Realizing ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) this, he clicked on another orb of light.

This time, two Transcendent creatures, restrained by biological collars, were brutally fighting in the light screen.

The betting odds on the right side of the screen fluctuated in real-time as blood splattered.

“Buzz buzz—”

A low-frequency vibration sound came from the skull elevator.

It finally began to descend.

At the same time, in the underground fighting arena’s control room.

Staff Members had already used electronic eyes to immediately grasp all the details of Mingxi and Lie Hu entering the special passage.

The special passage was only opened under special circumstances.

What special circumstances?

For example, if their Advanced Level brokers discovered a valuable big fish.

Or, for example, if their big supervisor’s brother encountered a thorny problem and successfully tricked someone into bringing them to his brother to resolve it.

Simply put, ‘guests’ entering through the special passage would, without exception, receive special hospitality from the fighting arena.

Having their family fortune emptied?

That was child’s play.

“It’s Lie Hu again, he’s really capable.”

Who was Lie Hu?

The big supervisor of their underground fighting arena, the only relative of the big boss who was second only to one person and above tens of thousands in this underground fighting arena, in this Weiming City.

“This time it’s a woman? She looks quite young. Is this considered a tough nut to crack?

Was she perhaps cheated out of money and lust, and felt that simply killing him wasn't satisfying enough, so she wanted our fighting arena to take action?

Tsk!

Then this woman truly lacks foresight; of all people to cheat, why cheat Lie Hu, this ancestor?”

The Staff Member responsible for monitoring the special passage scrutinized the woman’s delicate features on the screen, various conjectures and criticisms filling his mind.

“Beep beep beep—”

A sharp alarm suddenly blared in his in-ear headset.

The screen next to him began to display numerous pop-ups.

【Iris Match Failed】

【Unable to Identify Terminal Signal】

【Invasion Failed】

【Initiating Secondary System Mode】

【Iris Match Failed】

【Unable to Identify Terminal Signal】

【Invasion Failed】

...

【Initiating Highest Level System Mode】

【Iris Match Failed】

...

“What’s going on?”

Looking at the constantly popping up windows on the screen, the Staff Member was dumbfounded.

No.

Even with the Highest Level System Mode initiated, it still couldn’t successfully match this woman’s iris information?

What did this indicate?

It indicated that this woman’s identity had a problem! A big problem!

Because their intelligent system was a top-tier version acquired internally at a high cost.

Entities with a higher system level than theirs were probably only the Main Hall and the main intelligence brain of Green Field Fairytale University.

It was no exaggeration to say that even the patriarchs of their planet's major families, if they came,

Their identities would also be matched!

But now it couldn’t match a seemingly unremarkable woman. Was this reasonable?

Did the system have a bug?

Impossible!

“No! This matter must be reported to Mr. Li, something big has happened!”

Mr. Li, who was Lie Hu’s elder brother, had the full name Li Lianzhi.

“What is it?”

A low, magnetic male voice came from the receiver, carrying a unique elegance characteristic of a mature man.

It even sounded a little gentle.

But the Staff Member still broke out in a cold sweat.

He pinched his thigh with his fingers to barely maintain his composure.

“Mr. Li, your brother just brought a woman into the special passage, but our system cannot identify her identity!”

Zzzzz...

The sound of electromagnetic waves flowed for several seconds.

The Staff Member had already pinched his thigh until it swelled.

“...I understand.”

Beep beep beep—

Hearing the busy signal, the Staff Member's tense body finally relaxed, his breathing heavy, like a fish that had finally returned to water with great difficulty.

At this moment, the elevator carrying Mingxi and Lie Hu finally reached its destination.

The metal door in front of them opened with a ‘ding’.

The sudden outburst of roars and shouts was deafening.

At the same time, a damp, strong smell of blood rushed into their nostrils.

“New face detected!”

Outside the elevator stood a strange blade mantis.

But its eyes were not its original beast eyes, but a pair of protruding artificial eyes, both flashing red lights at this moment.

Its mouthparts were also made of alloy.

This was actually a semi-mechanized Transcendent creature?

Semi-mechanized Transcendent creatures were Transcendent creatures whose certain parts had been transformed into machinery.

In reality, such Transcendent creatures could no longer be called Transcendent creatures, because most Transcendent creatures that could undergo mechanical transformation had already died.

Therefore, at most, they could only be considered a corpse invaded by an intelligent program.

“New faces require collateral! Beginning random selection of collateral!

Collateral confirmed!

Collateral: One arm.”

The strange blade mantis’s electronic throat vibrated, and its right arm clicked open with serrated blades, slashing towards Mingxi’s right arm.

“Golden.”

Golden Yuanbao’s blood-red pupils instantly glowed brightly.

Abyssal Gaze activated!

Two dazzling beams of light, like laser rays, swept across the strange blade mantis’s body.

Even though the strange blade mantis’s body had been modified, it was essentially just a General-level Transcendent corpse.

Almost in the time it took for a single breath.

The strange blade mantis was cut into four large pieces.

“Bang bang bang!”

They fell to the ground in golden ratio proportions.

The curve that Lie Hu was about to form on his lips hadn't even had time to fully appear before the scene before him choked him!

Wh-what?!

This woman not only dodged the sudden attack of Slaughter No. 1, but she even counter-killed it!

He stared, disbelievingly, at the small bird that had been squatting on the woman's shoulder like an ornament.

He hadn't noticed before, but that aura just now was clearly...

So this damn thing... was also a King-level pet beast!

Looking again at that strange pet beast with only its big head showing, and recalling its powerful combat strength...

Had he really kicked an iron plate this time?

“Collateral?” Mingxi kicked the strange blade mantis’s shattered body, “Is this enough?”

She smiled, looking at the stiff Lie Hu.

That aura of death Descent again, and Lie Hu felt his ankles trembling.

She knew!

She definitely knew he was intentionally leading her into this special passage!

“...Heh.”

Mingxi didn’t look at the trembling Lie Hu again, only saying indifferently, “What are you still standing there for? Lead the way.”

“Yes... yes...”

Lie Hu truly didn't dare to make any more small moves at this point; he was genuinely scared.

“Kill him! Kill him! What are you dodging for?! Kill him!”

“Emerald Giant Lizard, you piece of trash, you’re a Shi-level Transcendent creature, not a rock! Are you standing still to perform performance art?! Or did your mother inject soft-egg genes into your egg when she bore you?! You’re softer than Old Wang next door’s dick!”

“Fuck your mother!”

%—)&*%”

After turning through several long corridors, various sounds from different races poured into Mingxi’s ears like ghosts.

Hardly a single word was listenable.

Filthy! It was truly too filthy!
