After being fed to top-tier orcs, I became the darling of the entire intergalactic world.

Chapter 286 The Results of the Dark Wizard's New Research

This special boxing match features ten groups of contestants, totaling twenty orcs.

After the second game, eight more games were played, and the first half finally ended with a break.

"Commander Nick's 'ingenious idea' is quite obvious."

Taking advantage of their lack of understanding of Blue Star culture, Liang He deliberately used pedantic language and openly used crickets.

It appears to be a compliment, but it's actually a veiled criticism.

"If you're tired, we'll go back and rest first."

Seeing that Liang He was in low spirits, Elius couldn't bear to see her suffer any longer and wanted to take her away first.

Since the opportunity has already been given and the possibility of cooperation has been expressed, there's no need to stay here and watch a boring match.

"Alright then..."

Just as Liang He got up, preparing to walk to the balcony, greet Commander Nick across the street, and leave, the second half of the match began.

"Next, the winners of each group will need to choose a ferocious beast as their opponent, and the winners will advance!"

A vicious beast?

Liang He paused slightly, stopping on the balcony. She lowered her head slightly, taking in the scene unfolding below.

Then Cher had ten cages covered with black cloth brought out for the contestants to choose from.

"Ten cages are selected blindly, and once chosen, the selection cannot be changed."

The person in charge took over the hosting duties again and began to announce the rules for the second half.

"These cages contain the latest Class A ferocious beasts researched by the Black Wizard. Their combat strength is comparable to that of S-class orcs, and one of them can even fight against an SS-class orc. You should choose carefully."

A Class A ferocious beast?

So ferocious beasts are ranked? How come I've never heard Huo An and the others mention that before?

Seeing that Liang He had stopped moving, Elius seemed to have noticed something was wrong. He walked to her side and looked down at her with a puzzled expression.

Were ferocious beasts previously ranked?

Right now, the only person Liang He can ask here is Elius.

"No, this is the first time I've heard of it either."

Elius shook his head, equally bewildered. What Class A ferocious beast? He had never heard of it before.

"I remember, 'Grade A' is a term commonly used on Earth, right?"

In StarCraft, people are more accustomed to using letters to classify levels, such as A, B, C, and D. However, this requires a shift in thinking and is not intuitive enough.

"Could it be that the dark wizard is from Earth?"

Elius's problem is also what Liang He is most concerned about.

In fact, she had already guessed it in her heart.

She was brought to the rebel headquarters with the intention of verifying her design.

"Dark wizards are always mysterious, always wearing a black robe, and no one has ever seen their true faces. If he really is from Earth..."

Upon closer reflection, and considering Liang He's actions this time, Elius suddenly realized that her target might be the dark wizard.
Could it be that this dark wizard is someone Liang He knows?

I just don't know if it's an old friend or an enemy?

"Ouch!"

A faintly familiar wolf howl made Liang He ignore Elius's probing gaze and stare intently at the cage below.

Upon closer inspection, she realized that this wolf king, which was even more ferocious and robust than ordinary wolves, looked very much like her family's little Sesame.

"It...is the Night Wolf King?"

The biological father of Little Rice Cake and Little Sesame, the Dark Night Wolf King who was secretly captured by the rebels?

Following Liang He's surprised and distressed gaze, Elius saw the Dark Wolf King, locked in a cage, his eyes filled with murderous intent, and pursed his lips.

He knew all too well how much Liang He cared about the furry creatures in the Seventh Service Area.

Especially Xiao Niangao and Xiao Zhima, who almost lost their mother and were raised by her from a young age.

"Perhaps, it's just that they look alike?" These animals all look pretty much the same, so Liang He can't draw a conclusion based on their resemblance.

The interstellar space is so vast that, not to mention animals, even humans can look alike.

"No, I'm sure, it is the Dark Night Wolf King."

Father of Little Rice Cake and Little Sesame.

The reserve spent a lot of time searching for the parents of the wolf cubs, and Liang He naturally had a deep impression of it.

She has an exceptionally good memory, almost photographic. If her initial reaction was just a subconscious one, now Liang He is increasingly certain that this is the father of the wolf cubs.

"Actually, it was expected that it would turn into a ferocious beast after being captured by the rebels for so long."

Liang He looked at the Dark Wolf King below, who was locked in a small cage, pacing back and forth, scrutinizing everyone. Her heart sank.

Nick did it on purpose.

He deliberately sent the Dark Wolf King to her, intending to use it to win her over and negotiate.

"However, have you noticed that this batch of ferocious beasts seems to be a little different from the previous ones?"

Compared to Liang He, Elius was more composed and had a more meticulous eye.

He discovered that although these ferocious beasts also had red eyes, upon closer observation, they showed more intelligence compared to the previous beasts. They were no longer foolishly charging forward relentlessly, fighting to the death.

"You mean, the research on black magic has been upgraded?"

His reminder made Liang He realize that something was wrong.

The Dark Night Wolf King, in particular, exhibits a significantly higher level of intelligence than other animals.

Intelligent beasts also mean greater potential on the battlefield.

"Could it be caused by the newly discovered toxin?"

Liang He recalled that the animals that turned into ferocious beasts due to a mistake in detoxification after being poisoned by the water source did not seem to have experienced this situation.

"No, that's not it."

Quickly dismissing her own conjecture, Liang He felt for the first time that her mind was shrouded in a fog.

She couldn't fathom the dark wizard's thoughts, nor did she know the extent to which his research on ferocious beasts had evolved.

What's even more concerning is that if such intelligent beasts appear in large numbers, according to the person in charge, their abilities are comparable to S-class or even SS-class orcs. This means...

"You thought of that too, didn't you?"

When Elius saw that Liang He remained silent, he knew that she thought the same thing as him.

Not to mention her, Elius was also deeply disturbed by the thought, and the more he thought about it, the more chills ran down his spine.

If the rebels really do possess such a secret weapon, then as the leader of the space pirates, he will be at a great disadvantage in the upcoming negotiations.

"He wanted to use this to demonstrate the strength of the rebels, so as to lay the foundation for the next round of negotiations."

To be honest, if it weren't for Liang He, Elius might have actually considered the possibility of cooperation when faced with such a disparity in strength.

No matter how powerful he is personally, he still needs to consider the lives of his subordinates.

"Killing multiple goals with one move, no wonder the rebel leader put him in charge of headquarters affairs."

I had initially thought that the four rebel commanders were simply fulfilling their respective duties, but now it seems that Nick is the best among them.

At least in terms of manipulating people's minds, he's a promising talent.

"how do you want to do it?"

Knowing her as Elius did, he knew she wouldn't stand idly by and let the Night Wolf King be used as a target to fight the orcs.

Especially after witnessing several life-or-death battles fought with no scruples.

She would absolutely not allow that to happen.

"Nick wants me to take action."

Liang He turned her gaze to Commander Nick across from her. He opened the glass door of the balcony and looked at Liang He from afar, raising a glass to her in the air.

"Little Black, please shout something for me."
