Bang bang bang.

Footsteps were heard from the south gate.

When the gladiators sitting in the gladiatorial arena heard the footsteps, they got up with ease and gathered at the south gate. But two soldiers carrying old wooden lunch boxes appeared outside the door, and they numbly distributed boxes of hot meals to the gladiators.

"What about the other one?" shouted the soldier outside the door.

Xia Gui hurriedly got up and walked to the south gate to take his lunch.

It was a wooden box covered with white linen, and when the white cloth was removed, I couldn't help but marvel at how good the food on the third floor was. But in the wooden box, there is a crystal clear white rice with a hot aroma, and on top of the white rice is a dark yellow chicken thigh and a large piece of delicious sea bass.

For fear that the gladiators would not have a good appetite for food, they also packed half a box of fragrant meat foaming beans and some fragrant and fresh seasonal vegetables.

Xia Gui was stunned, he didn't expect that he would have such a good treatment as a third-tier gladiator, although this could not catch up with the food of the nobles of the palace, but at least it could be comparable to some high-ranking generals.

"Hehe, this is the opening meal, enjoy it. The soldier outside the door walked away.

Maybe it's for the last bit of humanitarian care or something else, and each floor will be delivered before the start of the game. However, the quality of this third layer's meal is obviously better than that of other layers, and most of the gladiators of the third layer are also elites, so in order to make them more exciting, the quality of this meal is obviously very high.

To be honest, it has been nearly half a year since he left the Southern Wilderness Palace, from defeat, exile, and being tied up to the martyrdom to become a slave, Xia Gui has not known the taste of meat for half a year, and suddenly saw such a big chicken leg roasted golden and crispy, he was really hungry. He didn't care about the image of a prince anymore, so he grabbed the big chicken leg and wanted to bite it.

However, when his fingers just grabbed the big chicken leg, a cold gaze suddenly projected him, and then, an extremely strong sense of oppression enveloped him.

Xia Gui raised his head, but saw three strange men standing in front of him, staring at him with malicious eyes.

"Huh...... Boy, I haven't eaten yet. The man on the left stared at the food in Xia Gui's hand.

This man is about thirty years old, and his tone of voice is like **, Xia Gui slightly swept his cultivation, this person should be the cultivation of the second order of Yongquan Realm, it is really not low. After speaking, he suddenly made a move, and it was actually towards the wooden box in Xia Gui's hand.

With a "snap", Xia Gui was stunned, and his hands were already empty.

I have to say that this second-order person in the Yongquan Realm is also as fast as lightning when he grabs things. Xia Gui didn't expect that they would reach out and grab other people's meals, and suddenly, the unswallowed food was snatched away by the other party.

"Boy, new here, right? The man who grabbed the meal said, "The newcomer is coming to report, and the opening meal is going to be sacrificed to our Brother Mu, understand, boy?"

Xia Gui looked up at the three of them, but saw that the two men on the left and right were tall, but the man in the middle was even taller, and his face was full of rebelliousness.

The "Brother Mu" they are talking about should be the man in the middle.

"Sacrifice?" a ridiculous look appeared on Xia Gui's face.

On the third floor of this small gladiatorial arena, what kind of sacrifice is there to do. Could it be that this Muge is a god, and everyone else is mortal, and it is necessary to sacrifice food to this god?

"Our Brother Mu, the right-wing centurion in the former Jiuhou military camp, in this place, whether it is prestige or strength, he is the second, and no one dares to call him the first. It's your honor to be able to sacrifice to Brother Mu!" said the man on the left.

After finishing speaking, the man on the left handed the wooden box full of food to the man surnamed Mu, and said respectfully, "Please enjoy it." ”

The man surnamed Mu said "um", grabbed out the roasted golden fragrant chicken thigh, took a bite, and said, "The skin is burnt, the level of this kitchen is getting worse and worse!"

The three of them didn't look at Xia Gui anymore, and walked to the south gate with Xia Gui's lunch box, found a comfortable position against the wall, and began to enjoy this extra meal.

Their eating is not very savage, nor does it look like they have been hungry for many days, and they eat one bite at a time. However, they eat very quickly, and this speed seems to have been practiced, and they are very disciplined.

Immediately afterwards, a scene occurred that shocked Xia Gui.

The other people in the room consciously stood up one after another, picked up a small half of the rice they hadn't eaten yet, and put it into the rice bowl of the three people, and consciously divided a small part of vegetables, fish, and even tore half of a chicken leg, as if they were handing over the public grain.

And the three of them watched the food in their rice bowls pile up into a small mountain with peace of mind, until they couldn't fit it anymore, and then waved their hands, "Enough is enough." ”

Seeing that the three bowls were full of fine, the three of them began to enjoy them with peace of mind, and did not say anything like thanks.

After delivering the meal, everyone lined up again, walked back to their places one by one, sat down and began to eat.

Xia Gui was surprised.

The gladiators took the initiative to offer lunch to the three men, and what they did seemed to be a matter of course, and there was no injustice in the slightest.

A person who consciously finished delivering the meal, walked to Xia Gui's side, looked at Xia Gui's empty hands, and was probably sympathetic, he pulled Xia Gui to his side, sat down at the north gate, and avoided the three people from a distance.

"If you are robbed, you will be robbed, and you must not quarrel with them. The man said in a senior tone.

"yes. Xia Gui didn't want to snatch it back, the chicken legs were bitten by someone, and Xia Gui was not so hungry that he was willing to snatch back the chicken legs that others had bitten and eat them.

Seeing that Xia Gui promised happily, the man had a good impression and said, "I'm afraid you're going to be hungry today, I still have some food here, let's share a little with you." After speaking, he grabbed a ball of white rice with vegetables and handed it to Xia Gui.

This man hadn't taken a bath for a long time, and his big rough hands didn't know how much dust and dirt he had scratched, and the crystal clear white rice suddenly turned visibly dirty.

Xia Gui looked at the discolored white rice, and hesitated, as a nobleman, he would never eat the black food that people grabbed with dirty hands, but he was so hungry that he didn't say anything more at the moment, patted the rice clean and stuffed it into his mouth.

The man introduced while eating: "The leader's name is Mu Cheng, who was originally a centurion, and he came to us for some reason. There are two followers around him, the one who robs your job is called Wang Ersan, who is a military chief, and the other is called Xin Kang, who is also a military chief. These two followers originally fought with Mu Cheng. ”

The north and south gates are far apart, and this person speaks in a very low voice, so he doesn't have to worry about being heard by the three people over there.

Xia Gui nodded, it turned out that he was born as an officer and soldier, no wonder these three people had a sense of discipline when they ate.

According to their generals, pigs and sheep must be sacrificed before the battle to achieve victory, and they have taken this custom into the gladiatorial arena, and they also need to sacrifice the food of the newcomers before the battle. The man explained.

Xia Gui said: "Does every newcomer have to be sacrificed?"

"yes. Mu Cheng was a master of the fourth order of the Yongquan Realm, and he was also the strongest gladiator of the third layer, and none of them were his opponents. Previously, there was a newcomer of the third order of the Yongquan Realm who was unwilling to sacrifice the opening meal, and resisted, but Mu Cheng directly challenged the newcomer by name at the beginning of the game, and brutally tortured him in the gladiatorial arena, and the means of killing were very cruel. After everyone saw this scene, no one dared to resist him anymore. The man said.

Xia Gui nodded suddenly, no wonder everyone here was very conscious of offering food to Mu Cheng, just for fear of being challenged by Mu Cheng.

"So, you didn't resist just now, and your consciousness is really high. This person gave Xia Gui a thumbs up.

Xia Gui smiled bitterly.

If you are a newcomer to the Chengmai realm, it would be stupid to be unable to get along with this local snake for a bowl of rice.

So he stayed on the sidelines, which was very sensible.

"Okay, let's not talk about it, I'll eat first. This gladiator, after giving Xia Gui this mouthful of white rice, had no intention of continuing to give, and cleaned up the food in the rice bowl in three clicks and two clicks.

However, Xia Gui just took a bite, and his stomach was grumbling with hunger, which was really uncomfortable, but he could only watch the others gobble up and gulp gluttony.

The room was filled with the sound of other people chewing, and Xia Gui could only be hungry, which was really uncomfortable.

"Hiccup-" At the south gate, I only heard Mu Cheng and the others burp, obviously full of food and drink, satisfied.

Then, Mu Cheng, Wang Ersan, and Xin Kang grabbed the wooden lunch box, got up in unison, and strode towards the north gate in a curious gaze.

The rest of the gladiators hurriedly buried their heads in the bottomed wooden box, pretending not to see the three men.

Mu Cheng came to Xia Gui, threw the wooden box in front of Xia Gui, and said condescendingly: "There are still some left, let's eat." ”

Xia Gui looked down at the box, which was full of all kinds of chicken leg bones, fish bones, fish bones, mixed with these food wastes, as well as dozens of leftover rice, and some vegetable residues.

All three wooden boxes are like this, with only leftover bones and scraps, which is disgusting to look at.

Xia Gui frowned involuntarily. Is this what people eat? Dogs eat leftovers and bones.

And the noble dogs of the Southern Wilderness Country eat better than this.

Seeing Xia Gui's frowning, Mu Cheng said, "Hey, aren't you hungry?" Dogs know how to gnaw bones when they are hungry, you are human, don't you know that you are hungry?"

Hearing this, Xia Gui's brows furrowed even more.

Is this Mu Cheng here to insult people?

Mu Cheng's face changed to a normal look, and said: "In my army, even if you are hungry, you can even eat tree bark and soil. There are bones for you to eat, and you still pick and choose?"

"Brother Mu, this little white face is not the material of the army at first glance, let him go to the battlefield, I'm afraid he will either starve to death or be scared to death. Wang Ersan sneered.

"Well, then put him to the test. Mu Cheng's gaze swept over the three wooden boxes, and finally his gaze fell on a wooden box with a little more leftovers.

There was also a small piece of white rice in the wooden box, which looked relatively clean and was the only thing that could be eaten.

In the surprised gaze of the onlookers, Mu Cheng slowly raised his legs, inserted his dirty toes into the wooden box, and then stepped on it fiercely, the chicken leg bones and fish bones were all shattered under this step, and the white rice was also trampled into a gray slimy poop.
