The bloody battle sent the spectators' excitement soaring. As time passed, both Mutant Beasts were badly injured. The cat beast was in especially poor shape. The tiger beast's thick, tough hide left it nowhere to bite, rendering its natural toxins useless. Gradually, just as many people began to think the cat beast was about to be killed, the tiger beast suddenly charged and smashed through a confinement barrier. Barrier devices had been installed around the arena, both inside and out, and the beasts had accidentally damaged two of them while fighting earlier.
There were at least three layers of confinement barriers around the competition area. Only the innermost one had been destroyed, so there was no way the Mutant Beasts could escape the arena. Still, it was somewhat surprising that the two beasts had coordinated their attacks on the same device. After the tiger beast charged, the cat beast's broken leg quickly healed. When they failed to break through the second barrier, the cat beast even jumped onto the tiger beast's back, trying to climb over it from above.
But two gunshots rang out in quick succession. The two Mutant Beasts shook their heads, then toppled to the ground. Robots came to retrieve them.
"Don't underestimate mutated plants and animals," You Xin explained beside him. "Once they start playing tricks, they won't cooperate in a match anymore. The organizers will send them to an amusement park for spectators or straight to the slaughterhouse."
"Mutated plants are just as capable of disguising themselves and tricking people. Mr. Xu, if you're going into a Dungeon next, you'd better be careful."
Xu Huo nodded.
The two Mutant Beasts were taken away. The customers who had placed bets could carry them over to the next match and choose again which side they favored.
