In his heart, he couldn't help but curse, where did this monster of a black bear come from?

"Hey hey hey! Didn't we agree to release only one survivor? Why is it showing up now?"

The host, disregarding the life and death of the contestants, directly revealed the darkness behind the scenes.

It seemed that the promise of winning all the gold coins by defeating others was just a tactic to lure the wolves into the room.

In the end, in order to truly eliminate all the contestants, the organizers would surely send out the strongest backup.

Of course, faced with such shady dealings, the audience could only cheer and applaud.

The final battle between the black bear and the surviving contestant was extremely captivating.

In the moment when victory and despair intertwined, it was exactly the kind of performance the audience enjoyed watching.

With a roar, the black bear welcomed the cheers of the crowd.

"Temp-temporary ceasefire."

Cyclone instinctively said.

"Agreed."

Although the other party was lazy, Cyclone knew well the lazy one's character.

In the face of danger, as long as turning the tide was possible, even if it meant cooperating with the most detestable person, the lazy one could do it.

Because that's who the lazy one was, a thick-skinned character.

After surveying the surroundings, the black bear turned back to the two adversaries in front.

With hands and feet on the ground, it returned to a four-legged stance.

Step by step, it approached Cyclone, even crawling, its massive figure still towering over Cyclone.

But as they say, where there's a will, there's a way. And at that moment, Cyclone saw not just the crisis brought by the appearance of the black bear, but also a turning point.

The broken iron gate was not a fake, the violent blow just now had indeed damaged the gate, making it impossible to close it immediately.

Cyclone and the boxing youth exchanged a glance and swiftly bypassed the black bear, splitting the attention of the bear between them.

Cyclone quickly got past the black bear and reached the position of the large iron gate.

Several spears suddenly appeared, indicating that there were guards behind the gate to prevent the contestants from escaping.

At that moment, Cyclone and the boxing youth joined forces, taking down the guards in front while evading the black bear behind them.

To Cyclone's surprise, the boxing youth was no longer by his side when he turned his head.

Cyclone never thought that the boxing youth had in fact rushed to the corner of the room to pick up a bag of gold coins lying on the ground.

The prey moving alone towards the corner naturally caught the black bear's attention.

Cyclone alone couldn't win against the guards in front or talk about a giant bear.

But in that moment, Cyclone came up with a plan.

Setting aside his trembling hands, Cyclone tightly gripped the longsword.

He turned his head slightly, thinking that one day he too would do the same.

Cyclone ran with all his might and jumped, using his entire body's strength to drive the longsword into the black bear's right foot unexpectedly.

The surprising blow succeeded, and after the longsword pierced the bear's foot, Cyclone shouted.

"Run!"

The opportunity that Cyclone fought for allowed the boxing youth another chance to evade the black bear.

This time, the two truly cooperated, rushing together towards the large iron gate.

The injured black bear indeed had thick skin, as it roared in anger despite the longsword sticking in its foot, chasing after them from behind.

But everything went as Cyclone had anticipated. Watching the bear approaching, even the guards themselves felt fear.

Ignoring the guards' spears, Cyclone and the boxing youth ran directly towards the distant staircase.

Of course, the guards were human too. Seeing the bear's frenzied state, they naturally fled together.

"Come back!"

"What's happening?"

The audience outside kept shouting as the thrilling performers disappeared into the depths of the large iron gate.

But no one paid attention to them. In order to save themselves, Cyclone ran desperately along the staircase, leaving the black bear to be dealt with by the organizers.

Amidst the chaos, Cyclone and the boxing youth together passed through an underground passage and returned to the outside world.
