Chapter 321: Chapter 315: One More Update

"Eunuch Cang Er, you’re putting me in a difficult position," Lord Lu was as anxious as ants on a hot pan, having given all the scattered weapons brought by the guards’ carriage to the prisoners—and even then, it was less than ten sets. At this moment, with no village ahead and no shop behind, where could he find more?

Upon hearing this, Cang Er panicked. The Commandery Princess had come up with this ploy without considering whether they had enough arms. Cang Er was about to turn and report when suddenly he noticed the weapons at the guards’ waists. Right now, there was no room for hesitation.

"Lord Lu, quick, take a look! How many weapons do your guards have?" Cang Er said, already pulling a sword from a guard’s waist to toss to Lu Hu, who immediately understood Cang Er’s intentions.

"But, but—what if His Highness is in danger and all of them are unarmed?"

"What could possibly happen? How long do you think these prisoners will survive? Once the field is cleared, you can just pick them up again," urged Cang Er swiftly. "Hurry up, His Highness is waiting."

Seeing no other option, Lu Hu grit his teeth and summoned the guards he had brought along, barely managing to gather thirty or forty weapons.

The prisoners, upon seeing the weapons thrown in front of them, hesitated to touch them.

"Pick them up—"

The guards continued to herd the group of prisoners, and the gate of the enclosure slowly opened. The prisoners looked at each other—one picked up a weapon, and the others followed suit.

As three or four dozen prisoners had just entered the arena, the wooden gate behind them was quickly shut. Everyone was confused, even The Savage looked at the group of people, puzzled.

The group of criminals tentatively inspected their surroundings, seeing a flat grassy field with faint traces of blood, instantly sensing something was amiss.

"Run—" someone shouted, and all broke into frantic, directionless flight, like headless flies.

Zong Yunqian returned to his seat, sweeping his robe aside as he sat down.

Gu Dao and Xi Feng exchanged glances, gripping their swords tightly, infuriated by the scene before them.

The arena came alive in an instant, Zheng Nianru sat up, her eyes fixed on The Savage. After a bout of fighting, The Savage took a moment to rest. Seeing Zheng Haoyuan hadn’t yet gestured for him to come out, he slowly realized that it wasn’t over; what followed was him killing those... people in the arena?

The Savage didn’t know for sure because he had never done such a thing before, but seeing the fierce tigers tethered with iron chains in the corners, he focused his gaze on the people running chaotically across the field.

One of the more astute prisoners realized this was a wilderness; the wooden enclosure wasn’t too high, and scaling it would mean escape. They immediately ran towards the enclosure.

Scattered prisoners discarded their weapons, vaguely spotting the group on the stand, somehow grasping the context, and seeking shelter in the corners,

But before they could reach safety, screams erupted as wolves, emerging from nowhere, pounced on a prisoner, who stood petrified as a wolf sank its teeth into his neck, blood spurting forth.

"Cousin, look at that fool—" Zheng Haoyuan stood up and pointed, bursting into laughter at the bitten prisoner.

Zheng Nianru smiled in silence, these scenes were familiar, yet still thrilling to revisit in memory.

The scent of blood aroused the wild beasts around, and with plenty of wolves to spare, Lord Lu tied them not just to the four corners of the field but also attached them at intervals along every side of the enclosure. The prisoners who had initially sought to climb the fence for escape were felled by the pouncing wolves before they could even get close.

The arena erupted with bloody chaos, adding to the thrill of the hunt.

"Excellent—" shouted Zheng Haoyuan, standing on his chair, "Stone, go catch—"

The Savage turned to look at Zheng Haoyuan, initially confused but now sensing that it was indeed what he had surmised, and he sprinted into action, grabbing the nearest prisoner and tossing him into the air.

"Ah—"

"Ah—" The scream pierced the ear, as the prisoner, caught by The Savage again before he could recover, was sent flying once more: this time, towards the corner with the tethered tiger.

Zheng Nianru also stood, watching the action with curiosity. Zheng Haoyuan, clutching her sleeve tightly, was both tense and exhilarated, and sure enough, the tiger leaped up, the iron chain clanking loudly. The moment the prisoner entered its territory, he was caught in the tiger’s jaws.

"Excellent—"

"Excellent—" Even Zheng Nianru couldn’t help but exclaim.

Zong Yunqian clutched the back of his chair, looking at Gu Dao and Xi Feng, whose faces were already ashen. Thinking how wise it was for the Princely Heir to have left—they couldn’t bear to watch this sickening display.

The Savage, feeling affirmed, knew he had done the right thing and immediately pursued the other prisoners.

At this point, the prisoners in the arena realized this wasn’t about their survival but being driven into hell. Those who had dropped their weapons hurriedly picked them up again and no longer ran wildly but instead observed their environment calmly and coolly.

Apart from The Savage in the middle, there were fierce beasts along the walls of the enclosure, unquestionably forcing them into a showdown with The Savage at the center.

Several strong-bodied prisoners rapidly closed ranks back-to-back in a circle, constantly surveying their surroundings.

Seeing this, Zheng Nianru felt a flicker of excitement.

"Cousin, what are they doing?" asked Zheng Haoyuan, with curiosity.

"This is where the show begins," said Zheng Nianru, waving over Cang Er, who cautiously approached.
