Bringing a System to the Beast World

Chapter 653 Wizard Battle
The arena fell silent for a moment as everyone stared at the freshly roasted, steaming corpse.

What happened?

Wasn't that Kuma orc about to be killed by the sea serpent orc?
Those venom-covered snake fangs were so long!

Not only the people of the surrounding tribes, but even the great shamans and chieftains on the high platform looked in surprise at the Kuma beastman standing next to the corpse of the sea serpent beastman.

“Brother Sea Shark, those Kuma orcs clearly used witchcraft, so it can’t be considered that their Kuma tribe won.”

The Sea Serpent Great Shaman's gloomy gaze swept over the corpses of his tribesmen in the arena, his cold eyes even containing a strong sense of disgust.

Useless trash!
The Sea Shark Great Shaman's sharp eyes swept over the Sea Serpent Great Shaman's gloomy face, his voice indifferent: "There are no restrictions on the methods used in the contest; only the final result matters."

Moreover, he wasn't blind; the orc warrior from the Sea Serpent tribe clearly wanted to kill the Kuma orc.

"That's right, everyone is using their own methods, as long as they can win, that's all that matters."

Kuma first gave the healing wizard an approving look before speaking up to the dark-faced sea serpent wizard, earning him a gloomy glare in return.

Kuma the orc returned to his people, his bright eyes fixed on a familiar figure not far ahead—the female witch he had been ordered to guard these past few days.

Stroking his rough palms, he noticed that the thin animal hide the female shaman had given him was gone.

He could sense the deep malice the sea serpent beastman harbored towards him; it was clear that the other party had no intention of letting him leave the arena alive.

Meanwhile, the healing wizard on the high platform felt even more grateful to Wu Yue. It was not easy for him to train some high-level orc warriors, let alone orc warriors who could win in the tribal competition.

Thinking of the rewards that the Grand Wizard would bestow later, the healing wizard straightened his already upright back even more.

"Next one."

Chief Sea Shark showed no concern for the lives of the beastmen present and continued his indifferent announcement.

The fights between orcs were all hand-to-hand combat, with their strong bodies colliding and making dull 'Duang! Duang!' sounds.

Apart from a few tribes with pre-existing grudges, most orcs manage to leave the arena alive even if they lose.

However, whenever the Sea Serpent Tribe orc warriors appeared, the other side in the fight almost never survived, which made everyone both afraid and hateful when they saw the Sea Serpent Tribe orc warriors come out.

"The wizard battle begins now, first group, move in!"
Chief Seashark's voice seemed to ignite a long-accumulated pile of dry tinder, instantly setting the atmosphere of the entire open space ablaze. Wu Yue felt that even the breathing of the orc warriors around her became heavier.

Unlike the previous battles between orc warriors, the duels between wizards actually started with the higher-ranking wizards.

The shamans, who were once highly respected in the tribe, also used their magical energy to attack the orcs in various ways, just like the orcs. Compared with the hand-to-hand combat of the orc warriors, the shamans' battles were more entertaining to watch.

"squeak!"

A sharp insect chirping rang out, accompanied by the scream of a wizard in the arena. Wu Yue's pupils shrank, and her face turned pale.

The wizard in the arena screamed and scratched his body, and bloody marks could be clearly seen on his exposed arms and neck.

"Help me, help me! There are bugs crawling inside my body, ah!"

The wizard staggered and rushed through the arena, trying to break into the tribal area, but was always blocked by an invisible wall at the edge of the arena.

"I want to get out! I don't want to fight anymore! I want to get out!" He roared and scratched, as everyone watched helplessly as the once-respected wizard collapsed in the arena, his body mangled and bloody.

After a moment of silence, two indifferent-looking orc warriors from the Sea Shark tribe entered the arena and carried the deceased wizard out.

"His death was truly gruesome."

The Sea Serpent Wizard let out a gloating snort.

A high priest sitting next to the sea eel priest glared angrily at the sea serpent priest who had made sarcastic remarks, and moved to stand up.

The next moment, however, he was stopped by the Great Shaman Kuma, who was sitting on the other side. He turned to look at the Great Shaman Sea Serpent, who had a gloating expression on his face: "When that orc from the Sea Serpent tribe died, were you this happy, Great Shaman Sea Serpent?"

The smile on the Sea Serpent Shaman's face slowly faded. His narrow eyes looked at the Kuma Shaman, and after a moment of eye contact, he turned away without saying a word and continued to look at the arena.

However, a ruthless glint flashed in his gloomy eyes, unseen by those around him.

The wizard's one-on-one duel ended a little faster than the orc's. Although Kumar the wizard, who had been sitting next to Wuyue, lost the duel, he did not show any signs of frustration.

"Hehe, although we lost, the wizard said that when we get back he will give me a bag of salt made of animal skin, enough for us to eat for a very long time."

The male wizard excitedly imagined the wonderful life he would have after acquiring salt, and the wizard team competition began.

Team battles are more dangerous than the previous solo battles. Wizards who can team up are very familiar with each other and have a high degree of cooperation.

Moreover, due to their complementary abilities, their attack methods are highly diverse, often making them difficult to defend against.

"call!"

Seeing a Gu worm the size of a little fingernail pressed face to face with a shaman from the Sea Eel Tribe, not only Wu Yue's heart tightened, but the people from the surrounding tribes also held their breath.

But then everyone realized that although the Gu worms were very close to the wizard, they did not attack the wizard.

It turned out that another wizard in the group used magic to protect his companion at the critical moment.

The attacked wizard, his back covered in a layer of white sweat, quickly dodged, the beads of sweat on his forehead being flicked to the side with each movement.

"Good heavens, we almost got killed by that ugly bug."

After saying that, he looked at his teammate and said, "Old man, we have to thank you a lot."

But his companion rolled his eyes in annoyance: "Be careful. I'm only helping you temporarily. Be careful, we don't have those precious witchcraft talismans."

In the end, the Sea Eel Tribe's shaman team lost to the Sea Shark Tribe's shaman team. After exchanging friendly greetings, the two teams' shamans returned to their seats.

"Next"

Before Chief Sea Shark could finish speaking, a commotion suddenly broke out on the platform, accompanied by exclamations from wizards and orcs.

"what happened?"

Chief Sea Shark frowned as he looked in the direction of the commotion, his brows furrowing slightly. That was the location of the super tribe in the Cloud Mist Mountains.
