Time Travel: The Heroine Has Arrived!

Chapter 72: Chapter 72: The Duke’s Heir VS The Underdog Female Supporting Character (Part 12)

In a place unseen, the girl fleeing in a disheveled state suddenly had her eyes turn a pure ink black, as if an endless vortex was taking shape within them.

When the Thunder Winged Lion met her eyes, its figure suddenly froze for a moment, then it let out a wild howl to the sky, and its body abruptly expanded in size.

“This is bad, the Thunder Winged Lion has gone mad!” the host suddenly cried out in panic.

No sooner had he spoken than the cage, forged from secret-recipe refined steel, was torn open by the Thunder Winged Lion that had lost all reason.

The Thunder Winged Lion charged straight toward the spectator stands.

There sat the noble guests of the underground beast-fighting arena, including many distinguished guests of high status. Should anything happen to them, even with the arena’s powerful backers, they’d likely face considerable trouble.

A number of figures dashed toward the Thunder Winged Lion, retainers of the underground beast-fighting arena.

These strong practitioners, all maintained by the arena at great expense, rarely had an opportunity to show their skills.

But in moments like these, only they could suppress the turmoil in the arena.

The Thunder Winged Lion was quickly subdued.

But how could the Demon King let them off so easily? The “slave,” who had been slumped on the ground “unconscious,” curled her lips into a mysterious smile.

At the same time, roars of Demon Beasts sounded from various places around the underground beast-fighting arena.

The Demon Beasts, they had gone mad.

Countless Demon Beasts broke free from their cages and attacked anyone they saw. They had once been the rulers of forests and grasslands, but were now fiercely captured by humans, sold to places like this to fight and die for the amusement of others—their resentment was imaginable.

The underground beast-fighting arena had descended into chaos, with the nobles all turning pale trying to flee.

But at that moment, with raging Demon Beasts everywhere, one wrong move could mean having one’s throat ripped open by the rampaging creatures.

Gu Shengyin and her companions stuck together, heading towards the exit of the arena.

“Ah!” A familiar voice rang out. Gu Shengyin turned her head and saw a noble miss in red sitting on the ground, her guard lying in a pool of blood beside her, obviously no longer able to protect his mistress.

Joanna felt she could already smell the beastly stench from the Demon Beast’s mouth and closed her eyes in despair.

But the expected pain did not come. When she opened her eyes, she saw a golden sword light cleave the Demon Beast in two.

“Miss Raymond, is your magic wand just for show?” Gu Shengyin shouted harshly at her.

“You…” Joanna looked dazedly at Gu Shengyin, never having expected her to intervene and save her.

“Get up, Miss Raymond, we don’t have much time to waste on the ground!”

Joanna, still in a daze, looked at the hand extended to her, bit her lip, and took Gu Shengyin’s hand to stand up.

She lowered her head and muttered a thank you to Gu Shengyin.

A faint smile appeared on the face concealed beneath Gu Shengyin’s cloak. The Joanna in the original story was not bad by nature, just a spoiled little girl by her family. Seeing her reminded Gu Shengyin of Cheng Xizhi from her previous world.

What had been a party of four now became a group of five. @@novelbin@@

Fortunately, they were either Martial Artists or Mages, and since the levels of the mad Demon Beasts were not too high, they fortunately encountered no mishaps and reached the exit of the arena.

Just as Gu Shengyin breathed a sigh of relief, a small figure suddenly rushed towards her with extraordinary speed.
