Chapter 697 Li Di was chosen again
He Yuzhu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a mysterious smile, and said, "That's not necessarily true, Brother Liu Si. You know, I've observed that sealed human carefully, and he does have some abilities. Maybe some unexpected miracle will happen today."
After hearing this, Liu Si couldn't help but laugh and said, "Okay, then let's go over and see what he can do today."
Afterwards, the two of them walked towards their destination together. Xiaoli was disgusted by the stench in the basement, so she dragged Laosi out for a walk. He Yuzhu knew what Xiaoli was up to. She was worried that Laosi's solo actions would arouse Liu Si's suspicion, so she made an excuse to stay with Laosi, in fact, to protect him. He Yuzhu was pleased with Xiaoli's attentiveness, so he didn't say anything more.
He Yuzhu and Liu Si arrived at the basement, only to find Li Di recuperating in a corner. Though the basement was overflowing with spiritual energy, Li Di's own magical powers were sealed, rendering him unable to draw upon them to heal. He recalled how, in the past, whenever he was injured, he could immediately take a precious elixir, and his injuries would heal instantly. But now, he could only endure this, the physical pain and emotional loss overwhelming him, his face filled with pain and helplessness.
As Li Di slowly recuperated in the tent, He Yuzhu and Liu Si approached the place where Li Di was being held, their steps steady and menacing. He Yuzhu's expression was stern as he shouted, "Bring this Li Di out! He will continue the competition today!" His voice echoed in the air, revealing an undeniable firmness.
Upon hearing this, several elders from the Fierce Tiger Sect were filled with dissatisfaction and worry. One of the white-haired elders hurried forward, bowed, and said, "Li Di just competed yesterday, and his injuries haven't healed yet. Can someone else compete with him today? It's really unfair to Li Di, and his body can't handle it." The elder spoke earnestly, his eyes full of concern for Li Di.
Liu Si frowned, a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes. He looked at them arrogantly and said coldly: "I am the king of the demon clan. In this place, I can do whatever I want. Do I need to explain to you humans? You'd better be obedient and don't cause trouble for yourself." Liu Si's voice was icy and biting, as if carrying endless majesty, which made everyone feel a little breathless.
He Yuzhu also spoke, his eyes sweeping across the human beings present, and he said in a fierce tone: "Li Di is extremely cunning, and he is good at using conspiracies and tricks in his daily life. This is why we chose him to continue the competition. If anyone feels dissatisfied and wants to help him, then stand up yourself, but let me be frank, once you stand up, it doesn't matter whether you live or die!" There was a fierceness in He Yuzhu's eyes that made people shudder.
The human race heard this, and while they murmured quietly about how wrong this was, when they were faced with the reality of standing up for themselves, everyone was filled with fear of death. After all, who wouldn't cherish their lives? Thus, the crowd, which had just been whispering, instantly fell silent, with no one daring to speak.
Seeing no one dared to resist, Liu Si sneered and waved his hand, ordering Li Di to be brought out. Li Di was brought before the crowd, his face pale and frail, but a hint of stubbornness still lingered in his eyes. Liu Si looked at Li Di and said, "Human brat, if you can win this competition today, we won't be selecting you for future competitions. How about this? Isn't that a generous offer?"
Li Di knew in his heart that he could not escape today no matter what, so he could only grit his teeth and follow him out obediently.
He Yuzhu looked at Liu Si and asked, "Who are you going to choose to compete with him this time?"
A confident smile appeared on Liu Si's face. He glanced at the surrounding monsters, then pointed directly at the bear monster next to him and said, "This is it. There were other options, but after thinking about it carefully, the bear monster is the most suitable. This bear monster not only has powerful attack power and infinite strength, but also has outstanding defense capabilities. It has thick skin and flesh, and ordinary attacks can't hurt it at all. With such strength, it is the best opponent in this competition." Liu Si was very satisfied with his choice, as if he had already seen the scene of the bear monster easily defeating Li Di.
Li Di looked in the direction Liu Si pointed. Upon seeing the massive, menacing bear demon, he immediately regretted his decision. He knew full well that in his current state, he was no match for the bear demon. But now that things had come to this, he could only steel himself and select a heavy hammer from the weapon rack. He figured the hammer's powerful attack might increase his chances of success. Even if there was only a glimmer of hope, he refused to give up.
He Yuzhu was a little surprised to see Li Di choose a hammer. He hadn't expected Li Di to be so clever, choosing such a powerful weapon to deal with the bear monster. He turned to look at Liu Si and asked, "Doesn't this bear monster need a weapon?"
After hearing this, Liu Si couldn't help laughing and explained, "The bear's whole body is a weapon. Its sharp claws, strong paws, and hard body, which part is not a deadly weapon? Only you humans, who are not strong enough, choose to use weapons to improve your combat effectiveness." Liu Si's words were full of disdain for the human race, and at the same time he was full of confidence in the bear monster's strength.
Liu Si watched the scene with a cold expression, mentally pondering how to teach this ignorant Li Di a lesson. Then, with a wave of his hand, he placed Li Di and the bear demon together. Liu Si turned to look at the bear demon, a hint of malice flashing in his eyes, a cruel smile curling his lips as he said, "As long as you don't kill him, you can do whatever you want with him, even crippling him."
Upon hearing this, the bear demon's eyes lit up with excitement. Ever since it descended the mountain, it had been dreaming of a head-on confrontation with the humans. But its ingenuity had been so limited that, assigned by its tribe to guard these humans, it had spent its days in idleness, never a chance to show its prowess. Its energy had been simmering for a long time. Now, finally, it had arrived with such a golden opportunity. How could it not be delighted?
Although Li Di was feeling extremely uncomfortable, he knew that the upcoming battle against the bear monster was no joke. If he couldn't focus, even the slightest misstep would result in injury, or even death. He endured the discomfort, secretly encouraging himself and preparing for the upcoming fierce battle.
