Seeing that, Philip asked, “What are you doing?” Panther smiled and walked to the registration counter. “I’ve encountered an alpine beast before, so I want to give it a try.” Seeing the confident look on his face, Philip did not stop Panther but looked at him as he walked inside. After all, if he won the battle, the reward was a piece of equipment that was level 5S fire elemental. Other than Panther, many people coveted this equipment too and wanted to give it a try. More people signed up for it. Seeing them standing in front of the registration counter, Philip found a place in the stand and sat down. He was not interested in the fire elemental equipment but in the medicinal materials and treasures. He dared not forget his purpose of coming to the Starfall Continent. He was here to save his wife. While thinking about it, he looked at the few people who were ready at this time. The host announced, “We seem to have many brave warriors today, but there’s only one alpine beast. Should we let these brave challengers fight one round first?” Philip frowned upon hearing that. If these people were really allowed to compete first, they would definitely not be in their best state when fighting against the alpine beast. That meant they would be in danger. However, at this moment, he noticed a few challengers winking at each other.
Seeing this, Philip’s heart jolted. He suddenly had an inkling that these people were actually arranged by the coliseum. Their main purpose was to exhaust Panther and the others. If they were not in their best state when fighting the alpine beast, the advantage of doing this was to avoid any losses to the coliseum. Furthermore, the coliseum’s profits had always been inseparable from betting handicaps. Encouraging people to place bets was their main objective and the way they made money. After figuring this out, Philip could not help worrying for Panther. It seemed that Panther would suffer today. However, based on Panther’s experience, he could not be oblivious to this. After all, he was not a rookie and should have had several experiences on the middle and upper floors. At this time, the host made an announcement and the battle in the coliseum began. Panther and several other challengers stood in a group. Although it looked like they were fighting each other, Philip could tell that those challengers were just faking it. They were not really attacking each other at all.
