Chapter 71: The Temptation of the Bear Spirit Pill

The next day.

The Demon Saint Mansion Arena competition was held as scheduled.

Due to the influence of the Xiong Batian cheating incident, the on-site security measures were significantly strengthened.

Various strange-looking Demon Beast guards scanned their surroundings with sharp gazes, and the atmosphere was heavy.

Zhang Yi's family continued to go their own way, eating and drinking as they pleased, watching with great interest.

At this moment, on the outskirts of the Demon Saint Mansion, Xiong Batian was hiding behind a giant rock, his expression so gloomy it could drip water.

He watched Zhang Yi's family relaxing under the Arena, his bear eyes nearly spitting fire.

"Damn it, I've already been disqualified, so why do these bird brats still get to watch the competition comfortably, waiting to participate in the trials?"

He hammered the giant rock fiercely, sending stone fragments flying.

"Brother Batian, why be so angry?"

A charming voice came over.

Xiong Batian turned his head to look, only to see a fox demon with a graceful figure walking over, twisting her water-snake waist; it was none other than Hu Mei'er.

Hu Mei'er covered her mouth and chuckled, "Brother Batian, surely you haven't forgotten that what my Fox Clan is best at is..."

She deliberately drew out her voice, "Borrowing a knife to kill."

Xiong Batian's eyes lit up, "Does Miss Mei'er have any brilliant ideas?"

Hu Mei'er leaned close to Xiong Batian, "The Demon Saint Mansion is heavily guarded today, so it's not convenient for the Bear Clan to act directly, but you can find others to do it for you..."

"To prevent cheating from happening again, the Demon Saint Mansion has really come down hard this time."

Hu Mei'er, with her bright red fingernails, tapped lightly on the giant rock, "New rule: any Demon Beast that causes trouble at the scene, regardless of race or reason, will be disqualified from the competition."

Xiong Batian was stunned, his massive bear paw scratching his head, "You mean... I should find other Demon Beasts and have them cause trouble for that bunch of damn birds at the Arena?"

Hu Mei'er giggled, "Brother Batian really catches on quickly." "As long as they successfully provoke a dispute and start causing trouble, the people from the Demon Saint Mansion will expel them directly.

By then, heh heh, without the Bear Clan having to lift a finger, that bunch of damn birds will have to get out of the Demon Saint Mansion territory. Once they leave the Demon Saint Mansion, Brother Batian can settle old scores and grievances, hahaha!"

Xiong Batian grinned, "Brilliant! This is a good idea, I like it!"

He rubbed his bear paws in excitement, then frowned again, "However, there must be someone willing to make a sacrifice for our Bear Clan... After all, if they do this, they will also be stripped of their eligibility to compete."

Hu Mei'er covered her mouth and chuckled, "That depends on Brother Batian's methods. You can't catch a wolf without risking your child, after all."

She gave Xiong Batian a meaningful look, "There are always some Demon Beasts who are willing to take risks for the sake of profit."

Xiong Batian took an exquisite wooden box out of his small bear-skin pouch.

After opening it, a pill emitting a rich fragrance lay inside.

It was entirely crimson, with faint golden threads flowing through it; it was the Bear Clan's supreme treasure—the Bear Spirit Pill.

He had only managed to get this thing as a reward from that old guy, the clan leader Xiong Qingtian, with great difficulty.

There were no more than three in the entire Bear Clan; it was a precious item.

This Bear Spirit Pill was no ordinary tonic.

After eating it, it could allow a person to have their strength explode in a short period of time.

Of course, the side effects were also significant; once the medicinal effect wore off, one would be like a deflated ball, immediately becoming listless.

But only those with strong enough inherent strength could withstand the impact of this energy and truly absorb the medicinal power to increase their strength.

Because of the scarcity of this item, Xiong Batian had never been willing to use it.

Now, to deal with a few damn birds, he actually had to waste this treasure; just thinking about it made his heart ache.

But once he thought about how, after these birds were driven out of the Demon Saint Mansion, he could wipe them out entirely without any scruples.

Including that Wind God Pterosaur, if he absorbed their energy then, he might even be able to break through several times over.

At the very least, it would achieve the effect of the Bear Spirit Pill, so it could be considered breaking even.

"Heh heh, just a few little birds, they aren't even worthy of me using a Bear Spirit Pill; go to hell, you lot!"

Xiong Batian muttered to himself sinisterly.

"Miss Mei'er, please go to the front and call over a few hot-headed fools."

Xiong Batian rubbed his bear paws and said to Hu Mei'er.

Hu Mei'er smiled charmingly, "Don't worry, Brother Batian, it's a small matter."

She had long been overjoyed in her heart; she had been holding in the anger from being teased by that brat Zhang Yi earlier.

Now that there was a chance for revenge without having to do it herself, it was simply a godsend.

This drama of borrowing a knife to kill was what she, Hu Mei'er, was best at.

Hu Mei'er twisted her water-snake waist and walked toward the crowd of Demon Beasts watching the battle.

Her eyes were like silk, and every gesture exuded a soul-stirring charm, making the eyes of the male Demon Beasts go straight.

"A few big brothers, are you interested in making some extra money?"

Hu Mei'er's sweet voice made the bones of several Demon Beasts go soft.

"What extra money? Miss Mei'er, just give the order; we will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

A wolf demon with a rat-like face rubbed his hands, looking sycophantic.

Hu Mei'er covered her mouth and chuckled, "You big brothers are joking; it's just a small favor. That Brother Batian of the Bear Clan would like to ask you all for a small favor, and there will be a heavy reward after it's done."

Upon hearing there were benefits, the few Demon Beasts immediately perked up and expressed their willingness to serve.

Hu Mei'er brought these guys, who were completely infatuated, back behind the giant rock where Xiong Batian was hiding.

"Brother Batian, I've brought the people."

Hu Mei'er said in a sweet voice.

Xiong Batian sized up these few Demon Beasts: one wolf demon, one pig demon.

There was also a guy who looked like a toad; their strength wasn't much, but it was enough to cause trouble.

"Brothers, I, Xiong Batian, will not beat around the bush with you. I invited you here today because I want to ask for your help."

Xiong Batian said, getting straight to the point.

"Brother Batian, just give your orders; we will certainly follow them!" the Wolf Demon said fawningly.

"Do you see those wretched birds under the Arena? Once the competition starts later, go and cause trouble for them. The bigger the commotion, the better, understand?"

Xiong Batian said, pointing at Zhang Yi and his family.

The few Demon Beasts looked at each other, somewhat hesitant.

This was causing trouble on the territory of the Demon Saint Mansion; if they were caught, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Brother Batian, this... this isn't very good. If we are discovered by the people from the Demon Saint Mansion... we will be disqualified from the competition."

The Pig Demon said, stammering.

"Hmph, a bunch of spineless trash!"

Xiong Batian immediately took out a Bear Spirit Pill.

A rich medicinal fragrance instantly permeated the air, and a pill, golden throughout and emitting a faint halo, lay quietly within.

"This... this is... a Bear Spirit Pill?"

There were still Demon Beasts who knew their goods.

They recognized this Spirit Pill at a glance.

The eyes of the Wolf Demon and the Toad Spirit went straight, and drool was almost flowing down.

This was the legendary Bear Spirit Pill; after eating it, one could not only greatly increase their strength but also prolong their life!

"Brother Batian, is this... is this really a Bear Spirit Pill?"
