In a brief transition between pain and pain, Vanessa began to look at the space she was in. It was a small cell, the walls of which were made of stone, cold and smooth, and the wooden bars above the heads were faintly lit through, and a little dust would shake off from the cracks of the bars when people walked over them. Vanessa was covered with damp old straw, and the air still smelled of smoke, rotten meat, and uncleaned vomit. Vanessa tried to move her hands and feet, and found herself cuffed by heavy shackles, making a rattling sound as she moved.

"She's awake." Someone heard a voice coming from under his feet, and a report was transmitted. Then the plank on her head was jerked open, and a dazzling light poured in, hitting Vanessa's eyes with precision, shaking her dizzy. Instinctively, she raised her hand to block it, but she tugged at the wound and inhaled in pain.

"Get her in and the game is about to start." A voice in the distance commanded angrily.

The wall in front of her suddenly opened, and someone walked in to unshackle Vanessa and put her on the sand outside the door. It was a small circular field, surrounded by stands, and Vanessa had just been locked up in a lattice under the stands. The sky is not visible due to the dazzling magic crystals on the head, so you can tell that this is indoors. The sand floor was undulating, apparently uncleaned, and dark red stains covered the ground one by one, reminiscent of blood and more brutal images.

Vanessa stumbled out of the cage and immediately saw Reina, who was also a wolf, who had been beaten so badly that one eye was swollen and he couldn't open it, and his clothes were torn off, and his exposed skin was blue and red. I'm sorry, it's all my fault. Vanessa thought guiltily that if I hadn't blocked the kid's arrow, we should both have escaped by now. Lo and behold, the woman's kindness ended up being wounded, and Solanda would have laughed at herself like that.

The crowd in the stands gradually increased, men and women in shape, they looked very excited, and they were recklessly commenting on Vanessa and Renner, and the stands erupted in laughter and whistles from time to time.

At this time, someone brought a weapon rack, a double-edged axe, a sharp dagger, a long sword, a mace, a spiked meteor hammer, a bow and arrow, a crossbow, and everything else.

"They want us to fight." Vanessa was a little nervous. "What is this place?"

"An underground arena." Reyna replied, "We're in the basement of the circus right now. Vanessa scanned the stands, and sure enough, she saw a number of strange figures, a monster with a big head and a small body, a girl with two heads, and the little girl in a patch.

"But who are we going to fight, and are we going to fight each other?" Vanessa learned a few self-defense techniques from the eunuchs of the Great Zhou, but she had never experienced a real battle, and she didn't want to fight Reina, who was her only ally at the moment. Besides, her physique determined that she was not suitable for fighting with a long sword in her hand, but she was now really envious of her sister Solanda's superior body, she could even fight with men, and-

Bear!

A dark brown bear appeared across the arena, silently emerging from its cage under the chains.

"Pop" two high-fives, the stands suddenly fell silent, and a fat old man who resembled a circus owner shouted: "Gentlemen and ladies! The two men brutally murdered Heidi's sister on the outskirts of Crescent City. Now let's throw them into the arena and let Heaven give them a fair judgment as they take on Brett the Brown Bear of the Icemarsh Country, and the winner will be freed! Some in the crowd cheered, others booed.

"Phew." Vanessa glared at them, "Heaven can't give you a fair judgment, not even a bear. We ask to see the lord of the city, you are a private punishment! ”

"I want to see the city lord, okay," the fat old man was amused, "and when you get out of here alive, I will arrange for you to meet the city lord as soon as possible." Someone in the stands burst into laughter. The troupe owner raised the hand of the two-headed girl next to him and signaled for the competition to begin.

Without warning, a basin of warm liquid fell from the sky and poured it on the heads of the two men, and Vanessa screamed, tentacles dark red slime—blood.

The bear smelled the blood in the air, his nose fluttered, his vicious little eyes searched for the source of the blood, and finally, he targeted Vanessa and Renner, and as soon as the chains were untied, he roared and rushed towards the two men at full speed.

Reina had slowly moved towards the weapon rack from the first sight of the brown bear, and now he had a longbow in his hand and shot an arrow. The arrow screamed and flew towards the face of the brown bear, but it bounced off at the moment of contact and fell to the ground, and the brown bear's momentum was not stopped by the useless arrow in the slightest, but became more and more violent like wind and rain.

Reina opened his arms, so fast that he could barely see him draw the arrow, the second, the third...... But not an arrow can nail the bear.

"This arrow has no tip!" Reyna shot and retreated, and Vanessa also shot at the brown bear with a crossbow at this time.

"It's not fair!" The princess shouted, but was greeted with only bursts of ridicule.

The two of them hurriedly changed their two-handed swords, only to find that they were blunt swords that had never been sharpened in the circus, and Reiner had to grab the Spiked Meteor Hammer again. But the brown bear didn't give him time to change his weapon, and opened his mouth to bite him on the neck. Vanessa concentrated her wits and kicked a splash of yellow sand at the brown bear, and the brown bear had sand in his eyes, and roared, and stood up with a huge head, the monster stood up to eight feet high, it was like Koman in a bear's skin, and it was more dexterous than Koman.

Reina and Vanessa had hammered their heads in their hands and circled the brown bear's back, sensing the movement of its prey, quickly turning around and lunging at the archer again. Reina swung his mace and slammed it against the bear's face, knocking it to a stagger, and then the brown bear lunged again, his feet slapping and rumbling in the sand. Reina dodged to the left and slammed into the bear's face again, the blow swept away by the bear's paw.

After a few rounds, the brown bear's beastly nature and super endurance gradually prevailed, and it became more and more courageous, and Vanessa, who was helpless, could only sneak around its back and give it a few painless stabs, which only angered the brown bear even more, and made the frontal Reina exhausted.

In the blink of an eye, Reina's shoulders and arms were scratched with several shocking scratches, and blood continued to ooze outward as he dodged like a cat. If this continues, Reina will fall first, Vanessa thought desperately. She saw the spear on the weapon rack, she had used it a few times in Da Zhou, and she roughly knew which one to use to stab the enemy, if she could nail the bear to the wall...... So she took off her spear and stabbed it at the brown bear, and the spear stabbed into the bear's rump two inches into the flesh.

Vanessa overestimated her strength, but underestimated the thickness of the bearskin, and chose the wrong position, and the blow caused the beast to let out a huge roar, and it stood up again, and it twisted, and its two front paws frantically waved, sweeping the princess away with one palm, and stumbling against the stone wall
