Chapter 17 Crazy Track

To the south of the Earl's fiefdom, there is an abandoned monorail track that crosses a ditch, forming an irregular shape and extending in all directions at different lengths, sometimes rushing up the mountains and sometimes plunging into the canyons, making it perfect for racing.

It was Billy's first time riding a carnivorous bird, and he was quite unaccustomed to it. The carnivorous bird had triangular plates on its neck like those of a Stegosaurus, and he also needed to control its direction with the reins.

He didn't seem nervous at all, not at all like someone riding a fierce mount for the first time.

The referee gave the whistle, and the match began.

The eight biker gang deliberately let the newcomer run in front, whispering among themselves and behaving in an unfriendly manner.

The first section of the course passes through an old, hereditary forest. Although there is no wind, the forest rustles and occasionally one can hear the sobbing of a young woman.

At that moment, a scream of terror and sorrow rang out, immediately drowned out by a series of loud chattering voices, which then subsided and turned into unrestrained laughter.

Is someone doing something bad in the woods?

Billy wanted to go and take a look, but he was in the middle of a race, and the monorail track became desolate and hard to spot, eventually disappearing completely into the dark shadows.

The creaking of trees, the howling of wild beasts, and the mocking laughter of witches seemed to be competing to see who could laugh the loudest.

Billis was not afraid of any terrible things, and at the same time, he heard the church bells ringing in the distance, so he followed the sound.

Suddenly, the carnivorous bird touched a net-like bird trap, was caught in the large net, and hung high in the air.

Two biker gang members were hiding nearby, laughing like demons.

As one of them approached the trap to inspect it, the biker behind him suddenly vanished.

Bird traps only catch carnivorous birds.

Where did that guy go?

The biker gang ahead trembled; they had clearly underestimated that guy.

A fist struck him on the head from behind, the shockwave spreading through the biker's arms and shoulders. The second punch dried up his lungs, making it hard to breathe, and the third punch put him to sleep.

Neither of the two bikers noticed Billy hiding in the tree branch, and they suffered from their carelessness.

Billy snatched their carnivorous bird and continued on, keeping a high level of vigilance, knowing that these guys had let him compete so they could kill him along the way.

The second section of the course is a natural cave. The interior of the cave is winding and sometimes bright, sometimes dark, making it easy for first-time visitors to fall into the trench.

The trenches were very deep and filled with water, cutting off the monorail track in half. Billis had to slow down and proceed cautiously.

Just like in the woods, two young-looking biker gang members were already waiting for him at the exit.

The two men planned to finish off Billy the moment he emerged from the cave with a noose, but he didn't appear for a long time.

The dark cave became quiet. Had he already passed the second track?

Despite this, the biker gang couldn't possibly enter the cave; they believed their eyes weren't deceiving them.

After a while, we finally heard the carnivorous bird blowing its snort.

"We're about to leave the cave. Listen to me, one, two, three!"

The noose caught a guy, and his body immediately left the carnivorous bird, falling heavily to the ground.

Are you blind?

Upon closer inspection, it turned out that the person trapped was actually one of their own!

"Was there anyone else inside the cave when you passed by?"

"I'm not blind! The cave is so narrow, I can definitely see anyone if there's someone there!"

"No! He's still inside!"

"But I really didn't see him!"

The person who had been speaking was suddenly covered by a hand behind their back, their head snapped to the side, and they fell over.

A guy who was soaking wet appeared in front of me.

"You almost suffocated me in the water just now, couldn't you all have come at me together?" Billis gave the biker gang the middle finger.

Enraged, the biker threw a punch each at the other's nose and stomach. The stomach was hit, but the nose was missed.

Billis only took one hit, while his opponents each took two, for a total of four hits, all of which landed on his midsection and neck.

The three of them were completely in chaos, hitting each other, and in the end they didn't even know who was hitting whom or who was hitting them.

The biker gang members were clearly no match for Billis in terms of physical strength and strength; despite being hit the same number of times, the damage they suffered was completely different.

In two and a half minutes, Billy took down three birds, then switched to the pink carnivorous bird and continued on his way.

The third section of the track is quite flat, the longest, and the widest, making it a good place to overtake.

Less than five minutes after Billy entered the third track, he heard two bikers chasing after him, flanking him from the left and right.

The man on the left quickly approached Billy, attempting to trip him and the bird, while the man on the right brandished a whip, which circled around his head.

The instant the carnivorous bird tripped, Billy jumped behind the man on the left and started fighting on the bird's back.

The two men pushed and shoved each other, their sweat-drenched bodies almost touching, making it impossible for the man holding the whip to strike.

Billy was a trained man; he would hunch his shoulders and bend over to clutch his stomach, while the man in front of him was like a blind man, his fists jabbing into the air. Because he hadn't protected his head, he was accidentally hit and fell off the bird's back.

The biker gang on the right immediately seized the opportunity and whipped Billis.

Billis covered his face, pretending to be whipped to lower the other party's guard, then caught the whip, pulled it forcefully to his side, and dragged the biker off the carnivorous bird.

The biker gang rolled like rocks off a cliff for a long time, their noses and mouths bleeding, sitting on the monorail track, watching their target get further and further away.

The last section of the track is the shortest, but also the most dangerous.

It is a 500-meter-long flying bridge in the clouds, only wide enough for two people. There are cliffs on both sides, and the water flows swiftly 400 feet below, with a layer of mist in between.

A burly man stood on the bridge waiting for Billis. His body was larger than two adults, and he wore an ancient necklace around his neck with a skull breastplate underneath. He was the most formidable of the eight bikers.

With each step the man took forward, the bridge swayed violently due to his weight.

As Billis dismounted and stepped onto the wooden bridge, he felt as if he had stepped into a sailboat tossed about on the sea.

Both understood each other's meaning, and without saying much, they quickly started working on the bridge.

The big guy's fists were like bear paws and cannon fire; he stood still, using his maximum strength.

Billy throws a punch, takes two steps back, then throws another punch, trying to make his opponent move towards him.

The bridge swayed more and more violently. The big man took many punches to the head, but he didn't feel any pain and still maintained his balance.

During a fierce attack, Billy feigned a fall, then rolled over, causing the big man's right hand to sink into the wooden board.

He thought he could trap the big guy like that, but the big guy headbutted him in the stomach, and the unexpected collision sent Billy spinning halfway around.

Suddenly, the earth shook, the world shattered, and dazzling colors began to flow. Billis couldn't tell if the liquid on his body was sweat or blood; he only felt damp and everything he saw seemed to be bathed in a blue light.

However, he quickly regained his senses, dodged the left hand that was striking him, then leaned forward, grabbed the other person's neck, jumped behind him, and kicked him hard in the groin.

The big guy's head also got stuck in the wooden plank, and now the flying bridge in the clouds became handcuffs, locking him firmly in place.

Without any carnivorous birds, we had no choice but to walk to the finish line.

When the referee saw Billies again, his eyes bulged out like a toy figure jumping out of a box.

"how are you feeling?"

"The track is fantastic! It's just that your eight friends are too fragile."

"I clearly warned them before they left!"

"Now you can tell me, what did you see last night?"

"Actually, I didn't see anything..."

Before the referee could finish speaking, he was struck hard on the chin, two teeth were knocked out, and his saliva turned into bitter glue, gushing out of his mouth with a strong, pungent, fishy stench mixed with sour sweat.

He tried to be stubborn, but as soon as he got up, he was hit in the abdomen again, as if a knife had been plunged into his internal organs, and he could no longer stand up straight.

"Stop hitting her! Stop hitting her! I saw her fall into the southern town of Sawtooth!"

What do you mean by that?

"She was captured by some kind of magic, which happens often in Sawtooth Town because it's a filthy and ugly little place!"

Billy pressed hard on the other person's sore spot: "You must know something else, tell me everything!"

That's all I know.

"Is that really all? Hmm?" Billis slapped the other person's face, pinching their cheeks inward with two fingers.

"Alright! I'll tell you! I'll tell you! The reason why Sawtooth Town has that kind of reputation is because they go around capturing non-reincarnated people and making them participate in underground fights. Rich men and women like to watch bloody games."

"Anything else?"

"Anything else? Oh! Stop fighting! Of course there is more. Besides underground fighting, auctions are also very popular."

What's being auctioned?

"Of course, it's those who are not reincarnated and win championships in fighting tournaments. The rarer the race, the more valuable they are! Masters and ladies like to use them as servants, or even make them into specimens."

When do the fights and auctions usually take place?

“I really don’t know that! But I can tell you that the underground casinos, fighting games, and auctions in Sawtooth Town are all called Blood Raven’s Game. You can find related information on their dark web.”
