There were surprised looks on everyone’s faces as they looked into the room.
Lin Fan who had moved to the side was the last one to look into the room, but he was just as shocked as they were when he looked in.
One word.
Big!
This room in front of them was just too big.
In fact, this room was so big that it didn’t seem appropriate to just call it a room.
It was more like a giant arena with how the room was designed.
To Lin Fan though, this room had a special feel to it.
It was something that he had seen before, but not in this world, rather in his previous world.
The style that the arena was built in, going from the large fighting space in the center to the rows of seats all around, felt like an Ancient Greek coliseum…
But there shouldn’t be the concept of Greek in this word.
No, that wasn’t true…
He had met Aphrodite, a goddess who shared the same name as the Greek goddess of love on Earth right here in this very cave.
Could it be that all of this was related to her?
But it shouldn’t since all traces of her disappeared after she took back her divine artifact.
As these thoughts passed through his mind, Lin Fan couldn’t help feeling that there was something strange about this place. From the goblins on the second floor to this Greek coliseum on the third floor, it all seemed very out of place in this ancient cultivation world.
While Lin Fan was thinking, the other member of his group had been in a daze. However, Tian Tian was the first to react as she asked, “Lin Fan, what should we do now?”
Lin Fan was pulled back from his thoughts when he heard her voice, but he didn’t reply right away. After looking at the coliseum for a bit, he said, “This seems like a trap. It’s almost as if they’re waiting for us to go in.”
Tian Tian nodded as she thought the same. She then asked, “So should we turn back?”
Lin Fan’s instincts told him that would be the smartest choice. Since it was a trap, there was no need to poke the hornet’s nest and cause trouble.
However, his curiosity wouldn’t let him do that.
He wanted to know what this place was and he wanted to know just who was behind this place.
So he said in the end, “Let’s go in and see what it is. If the situation looks bad, we’ll retreat immediately. The goblins should have left the stairs entrance by now, so we should be able to run if we need to.”
Tian Tian gave a nod in response.
She also wasn’t willing to turn back without seeing what this place was.
Not just for the Mercenary Guild, she was also very curious about this place after everything that she had seen today.
As for the other mercenaries, whether they were willing or not, they still followed Lin Fan.
Instead of facing those goblins by themselves, it was without a doubt safer to follow Lin Fan who was the strongest one here.
After they slowly entered the coliseum, there were lights that suddenly lit up around them.
This area had been dim, but once these lights lit up, this space became very brightly lit.
“Welcome challengers! Are you ready to face the final enemy that you’ll ever face?”
There was a voice that suddenly boomed out around them.
Even though this voice had been amplified and made deeper, Lin Fan could still hear the immature tone in the voice.
Lin Fan’s group looked around themselves for the source of the voice, but they weren’t able to find it in the end. It was almost as if the voice was coming from all around them and not just from a single point.
Seeing that they didn’t answer, the voice didn’t back down as it said, “Oh, it seems like we have some cool customers this time! Let’s see if they’ll be able to stay this way after they see their opponents!”
Then there were the sounds of cheering that came from all around them, but they could clearly see that there was no one around. So where were these cheers coming from?
Only Lin Fan noticed something attached to the walls that he was familiar with.
There were speakers on the wall that were transmitting this voice and playing these sound clips.
But why were there speakers in this ancient cultivation world?
In fact, where did the electricity needed to power them come from?
He couldn’t see any wires that were attached to them, so he couldn’t follow them to their source.
So instead, Lin Fan asked, “Who are you? What do you want?”
The voice immediately replied, “LOL, what a cliche cool guy answer! 666, you really are amazing! So handsome too! It’s a pity that you have to die now!”
“Lol? 666? What does that mean?”
The others might have been confused by this, but there was no way that Lin Fan would. But he was confused by something else, why would this person be talking like this?
Why were they talking with modern internet slang in an ancient cultivation world like this?!
Unless they were also…
Lin Fan was about to say something else, but the voice spoke first.
“Alright, there’s no time for any of this. It’s time for all of you to die.”
The tone of the voice changed as it said, “Is everyone ready for the champion!”
Lin Fan didn’t know how to feel about this, it was almost as if this voice had suddenly changed into an announcer for a wrestling match…
But he could also feel that the spiritual energy in the air was changing. It was almost as if it was shaking in response to something that had changed in this area. It was almost as if the space itself was shaking…
Then there was a portal that suddenly appeared in the center of the arena and there was a large figure that walked out of this portal. This figure was over three meters tall and was very bulky, making the ground shake a little with every step that it took.
As soon as this figure appeared, there was a powerful aura that filled this space that made everyone here tremble.
This aura definitely wasn’t the aura that a normal creature would have, this aura was even more powerful than the aura that Lin Fan gave off.
After it stepped out of the portal, its true appearance was revealed.
This was a bipedal creature that had the head and hooves of a bull and a very muscular human body that also had a giant axe on its back.
This was a minotaur!
But Lin Fan was the only one who actually recognized this creature just like with the goblins. The rest of his group had somehow never seen anything like this before.
“What is this creature?”
“Why does it look human, but have the head of a bull? Could it be that it’s some kind of demihuman?”
Lin Fan couldn’t help turning when he heard these words.
It seemed like demihumans did exist in this cultivation world…
Then his dreams of a cat ear maid….
No, not right now.
Lin Fan shook his head and turned his attention back to the minotaur. As he looked at it, he narrowed his eyes to focus on it and activated his Appraisal Eye.
But after seeing the description that it gave, he felt his hanging heart drop. It seemed like there was still a way to deal with this minotaur.
[Minotaur]
Cultivation: Eight Qi Gathering Realm
The famed beast of the Labyrinth of Crete, the half man, half bull minotaur. Has a very strong might, but severely lacks intelligence.
The fact that the description of this minotaur had included the words “severely lacks intelligence” just showed how low the intelligence of the minotaur was. Since that was the case, it should be easy to deal with.
So Lin Fan took the lead and said, “All of you stand back, I’ll take care of it.”
The others looked at Lin Fan and while they had worried looks, they did listen to Lin Fan’s orders.
It wasn’t that they were fully obedient to him, but rather they knew that they wouldn’t be able to defeat this half man half bull demihuman. They could feel the aura coming from it and they knew how impossible it was for them to fight it.
Since that was the case, no one was willing to risk their lives.
The only one that was actually worried about Lin Fan was Tian Tian.
She didn’t move back right away, as she said with a worried look, “Lin Fan, are you sure you can win?”
Lin Fan revealed a confident smile and said, “Of course, this thing is nothing compared to me.”
But right after he said this, the voice suddenly said, “Oh, oh, oh, it seems like our challenger is quite confident! Is our champion going to take this lying down? Let’s show them our might!”
After the voice said this, the minotaur suddenly raised its head and gave an explosive roar, shaking the walls of this arena.
The ones that had a weaker cultivation in Lin Fan’s group couldn’t help stumbling back when they were hit with this roar. Only Tian Tian and Lin Fan were able to face this roar without falling back.
Lin Fan still had that confident smile as he knew that this was just the minotaur trying to scare them.
So with Gramr in hand, he moved to the center of the arena, being just a few meters away from the minotaur.
At the same time, he also waved his free hand and pulled out a red cloth.
