"Welcome, welcome!" When Yue Yang brought Death Mantis to the examination hall of the first trial, Toad King was already waiting at the entrance. It slapped its belly and let out a laugh so unpleasant that hearing it made one want to vomit. It was no exaggeration to say that even someone farting would sound a hundred times better than its laughter.
"You, you warty toad? What do you want?" Yue Yang knew this fellow could not possibly be here for anything good.
"I came out of kindness to remind you that if you fail the first trial, your battle beast will suffer the Laws' punishment and die. The first trial is where the greatest number of challengers fail. Young man, I wish you good luck!" Toad King's ugly lips kept opening and closing as it burst into loud laughter. Without waiting for Yue Yang to speak, it immediately turned and left, as though afraid Yue Yang might cast a divine curse. Before leaving, it even looked back and offered another hypocritically kind reminder. "Although the Beast Valley Laws protect challengers, even the Box Hall is no safe place for battle beasts. That's free information from me! If something inside the Box Hall attacks your battle beast while it is pushing boxes, don't blame me for not warning you. Ahahahaha!"
Toad King left amid loud laughter, carrying with it a revolting stench of bad breath.
Yue Yang pondered slightly.
In the end, he still motioned for Death Mantis to enter the hall and take the trial... Dragon Horse and Sickle Weasel, hiding far away behind them, grew anxious. Should they tell him the truth about the hall? If they revealed themselves now and told him what was inside, Toad King and the others lying in ambush would certainly notice them.
