Initially, I wanted to continue playing dead to hide my tracks, but after hearing the footsteps heading towards me, I knew that it would be equivalent to waiting for my death if I continued playing dead. Thus, I stood up straightforwardly and fished into my pocket.
Before, when Madman found us, he gave each of us some illumination equipment such as cold fireworks. At this time, it was impossible to see one's own fingers in front of the other. If it wasn't for the light, even if I could dodge this time, I wouldn't have been able to dodge the next attack of the monster.
Thus, I ignited the cold flames and threw it in the direction of the monster!
Indeed, just as I thought, the monster that appeared under the cold flames was the monster that we saw earlier. However, the monster that I saw at that moment was Zhang Zikong.
I knew that I was subconsciously hoping that Zhang Zikong would appear to save me, so I wasn't bewitched by the monster. Borrowing the light from the cold flames, I directly escaped towards a nearby weapon rack looking at me!
It was unknown whether the monster was rushing forward too fast or had stepped on something, but it was actually sent flying forward!
I don't know what that thing bumped into, but when I took the opportunity to run towards the Cold Flame that fell to the ground, the entire space started to light up with a dark green light!
Using that light, I found myself trapped in a sealed space of about three hundred square meters.
This space seemed to be one of those ancient arenas, surrounded by high walls that were tens of metres high. Furthermore, on top of these walls, there were spectators that looked like stairs. In front of me is a main platform. There is only one seat, and behind that seat is a coffin!
Thick coffins, just like those royal coffins we've seen in the mainland, are all of the best kind!
In the arena I am in, other than a few weapons racks placed around, there isn't even an entrance! Moreover, what was even weirder was that the ghost had knocked over a pile of corpses in the middle of it!
It was the monster that knocked over the pile of corpses, broke the bones of many mummies, and released a large amount of phosphorus from the bones, forming a ghostly flame in the air.
F * ck, could it be that I've been brought to a tomb through some special mechanism? Also, the owner of the tomb liked to fight, so the tomb was designed to be like this? The corpses that were piled up together were all martyrs. Was it to let the owner of this tomb see the ghosts of those martyrs after death?
Just as I thought of this, that unknown monster crawled out from the pile of corpses. It roared and rushed towards me!
Seeing this, I didn't dare to delay any further. I didn't want the Cold Flame that fell to the ground and directly charged towards the nearest weapon rack!
Although there are all kinds of weapons on top of the weapon rack, when I grabbed a red spear, I realised that the spear shaft has already decayed under the corrosion of time. The moment I grabbed it, I immediately removed a thick layer of wood chips from the spear shaft!
Seeing this, I didn't dare to hesitate and threw the spear in my hand towards the monster before charging towards a wooden shield at the side.
As soon as I grabbed the wooden shield, before I could check the quality of the shield, the monster dodged the spear and charged towards me!
Seeing this, I didn't have any time to think about anything else and immediately raised the wooden shield in my hand to block the monster's claw!
Crash! *
A muffled sound rang out and I was sent flying by the monster's tremendous force. The wooden shield in my hand also shattered into powder!
"F * ck your grandpa, this isn't a competition at all!" It's obviously me being beaten up! I can't f * cking leave behind something that I can use, so that I can fight it out before I die! "
Just as I was complaining on the ground in pain, the monster rushed towards me once again!
Seeing this, I didn't dare to delay any longer. I painfully crawled up from the ground, turned around and ran towards the pile of corpses in the middle without saying anything!
The difference in strength is too great. If I didn't have Zhang Zikong's strength, even if I were to risk my life, I wouldn't be able to harm that monster by a hair's breadth. Thus, I didn't dare to keep fighting in my heart at all. I only wanted to use those corpses to hide my tracks. Maybe that damn thing will continue to eat those mummies after it can't find me. Maybe when it's full, I'll be saved.
However, today didn't seem to be an auspicious day. I hadn't even run two steps when the monster caught up to me. After a loud roar, it swiped its claws towards me!
I only felt the wind whistling by my ears. Before I could react, I was sent flying by that ghost's claw!
When I struggled to get up from the ground, I felt a burning pain in my back! Needless to say, that claw from that monster just now must have hit my back!
Furthermore, I was sent flying this time. When I landed, I happened to land on my left shoulder. The old injuries added to the new pain made my vision go dark from the pain. I didn't have the ability to resist at all.
I didn't know how much time had passed before I gradually recovered from the pain. But what made me puzzled was that after standing there motionless for so long, that monster actually didn't take the opportunity to attack me again!
When I once again found traces of the monster under the dim light, it no longer had its previous imposing manner. Instead, it looked as though it was extremely shocked and kept scratching at the wall, as though it was trying to climb up from there!
Seeing this, my heart skipped a beat.
The heck, could it be that something even scarier than that monster had appeared? Otherwise, how could it be so frightened?
Thinking of this, a layer of chestnut hair appeared on my back. Without saying anything further, I moved towards the wall.
However, when I found a relatively dark corner to hide my body, I didn't notice that there were other living beings in the competition arena. Even the sound was only made by the monotonous sound of the monster scratching against the wall.
What the heck is going on? From the looks of it, the monster was not faking it! And what reason could it have to pretend to be afraid to show me?
Just as I was lost in my thoughts, I suddenly heard a strange sound.
The sound seemed to be produced when the machine spring was turned, but there was also a somewhat muffled sound, as if oil was being stirred!
This battle coliseum was already extremely bizarre to begin with. Adding on the creepy sound that made one's hair stand on end, my entire body couldn't help but start to feel numb!
Just as I was looking fearfully at the strange and serene battle arena, a figure suddenly appears not too far away from me!
