Chapter 158 The Bloody and Cruel Colosseum

Chapter 158 The Bloody and Cruel Colosseum

Although Roning did not participate in every aspect of Princess Blanche's itinerary, as her escort, he still knew the specific content of each aspect.

They were just spectators watching the gladiator show at the Colosseum, and there was no special introduction to the show.

The sudden spotlight alerted Roning, who reminded McKen to be careful around him to avoid emergencies.

However, he seemed to be worrying too much.

The host on the opposite side of the stands turned off the spotlight. After the atmosphere cooled, he began introducing today's beast-fighting events again, gradually drawing the audience's attention.

This beast-fighting show has been promoted for a long time, and almost all of the audience knows that the gladiators need to defeat the third-level Warcraft Green Troll.

This monster resembles a primate but has long arms and huge feet, with webbed feet between its fingers and toes. It is very good at both climbing and swimming.

It is reported that the green-skinned troll has a pair of sharp horns on its head, long fangs in its mouth, and red eyes. It looks very ugly.

Many people watch out of curiosity. After all, it is difficult for some people living in the city to have the opportunity to see Warcraft with their own eyes.

"Now, let's welcome tonight's protagonist with the warmest applause and exclamations!"

As the host shouted, the huge stone door on the east wall of the Colosseum slowly opened, revealing the huge iron cage to everyone.

Suddenly, everyone who saw the monster in the cage couldn't help but gasp, and some timid women couldn't help but scream in fear.

The cage contained a gigantic monster nearly three meters tall. Its angry, roaring fangs and basin-like hands, which tightly grasped the iron cage, were chilling.

"This kind of creature should be rare in the Wushan Mountains. Perhaps it was caught from the Misty Mountains."

Blanche had seen green-skinned trolls before. "It looks like the organizers put a lot of effort into this performance at the end of the year. No wonder the price to watch is so high."

"Do you know this creature?" Roning asked in surprise.

He didn't remember much about Warcraft.

Blanche nodded. "These creatures usually move in groups of three or five. The strongest individuals can rival human bronze knights. They have a certain level of intelligence, but it's not high."

As he spoke, the door in front of the iron cage was slowly pulled up from the gap above the stone door, and the trapped green-skinned troll rushed out like crazy.

It roared towards the sky, and its already red eyes became extremely bloodthirsty due to the anger.

Especially after it saw the audience in the stands, it rushed towards the wall with an angry roar, jumped up two or three meters high, and climbed two meters along the wall, scaring the audience above to scream and retreat again and again.

Fortunately, the stands were more than ten meters higher than the stage, so no matter how good the green-skinned troll was at climbing, he could only fall back onto the stage helplessly.

The frightened audience recovered. This scene did not make them timid but more excited. They were looking forward to the upcoming beast-fighting competition even more, and many people cheered.

Blanche glanced at the troll that had fallen back and continued, "This creature is violent and bloodthirsty and likes to feed on humans. There seems to have been a time in history when trolls were rampant, and many cases of humans being eaten at that time."

Luo Ning nodded slowly and gave the other party a thumbs up. "It's a lifelong learning. Blanche, you are a polymath."

Blanche was a little embarrassed, "It's okay, I just read a lot of books."

While the two were talking, the host had already calmed and ignited the audience's emotions: "Now, let's welcome our first gladiator. He is the Wolf King, the God of War who has been undefeated in a hundred bouts in the intermediate arena!"

Crash~

A small door on the west wall slowly opened, and a burly knight wearing heavy armor and holding a knight's sword walked in slowly.

The identities and backgrounds of gladiators were rather complicated; some were free knights, while others were captured professional knights sold by slave owners to the Colosseum specifically for performances.

The former gets the money if he wins, and the latter gets the money if the slave owner wins.

However, whether they were free knights or slave knights, dying in the Colosseum was in vain, and their families or slave owners would not receive any compensation.

As the gladiator entered the arena, the angry green-skinned troll seemed to have found an object on which to vent its anger. It roared angrily at the human gladiator nicknamed "Wolf King" and then rushed over like mad.

The wolf king roared, and a powerful fighting spirit burst out from his body, condensing into a dazzling sword light on the knight's sword.

He swung his sword, the sword light shot out, and he ran towards the troll, ready to finish it off.

Regardless of the power of this move, at least the Wolf King's aura was released.

This naturally caused ordinary spectators in the stands to exclaim in surprise, thinking that the green-skinned troll was going to be killed by this sword. Some people even shouted the name of the Wolf King.

But the ending is always surprising.

The green-skinned troll did not dodge or evade. He raised his hand, a yellow light flashed on the palm, then slammed it down, and the sword light shattered.

Then it stretched its long, thick arms, crossed two or three meters, and grabbed the wolf king's neck.

"Crack!"

The sharp, breaking sound made the entire Colosseum silent. When the long sword in the knight's hand snapped to the ground, everyone reacted. Some people jumped in fright as if they had a stress reaction.

The troll killed the human, and its anger seemed to be vented. The bloodthirsty light in its eyes faded a little.

A gurgling sound came from its mouth, and it sat on the ground. It pulled over the wolf king's body, and in front of all the spectators, it bit the skull to pieces, took out the brains inside, and began to enjoy it.

This scene made people's scalps tingle, and there were exclamations from the stands.

Roning couldn't help but frown. He had never seen a monster eat a person in front of him.

This scene looks too cruel and bloody.

But looking around the audience, they were exclaiming with an extremely irritated look.

At this moment, the host's voice sounded at the right time.

"A mid-level knight cannot defeat this crazy monster!"

He paused momentarily, then said loudly: "Let's invite three intermediate gladiators to challenge this monster at the same time!"

Sure enough, as soon as these words were spoken, the audience applauded and cheered.

"These three gladiators have all won ten consecutive battles in the arena. Their physical strength and power have reached astonishing levels!"

"Let's applaud!"

The small door on the west side was opened again, and three gladiators dressed exactly like the Wolf King walked in.

They looked at each other, then carefully separated their positions, preparing to attack from three directions to kill the monster.

Roning held onto the railing of the stands and looked at the scene below. "This troll is a level three monster. Why did they let a mid-level knight challenge it?"

Blanche said, "Because this makes the beast fight exciting."

Luo Ning knew it even without her saying it.

But the answer was too bloody, and Roning once again experienced the darkness and cruelty of this world.

Here, human life is just a prop used to please others and is not respected.

He glanced at Blanche, who also seemed to have excitement in her eyes. It turned out that everyone in this world was influenced by this atmosphere.

She might feel cruel or kind, but that was it.

Although Roning would not betray his own interests, he was influenced by socialism. After coming to this strange world, he still had some ideas and things he wanted to do.

"What do I want to do?"

Roning held the guardrail and watched the three knights below attack the green-skinned troll from three directions.

The green monster threw away the headless body of the previous gladiator and began to howl excitedly. Facing the three people, it still did not show any fear.
