On the third floor of the high stands, Jiuhou Villa Jiang and officials from other countries whispered about the gladiatorial match. Some people lamented Xia Gui's strength, and some people ridiculed the incompetence of Tiger Claw, but Jiang Guangyuan always had a calm face.

Xia Gui won, which means that he can survive for the time being.

But Jiang Guangyuan was not relieved by this, and a more and more nervous and serious expression swept through the corners of his eyes.

Obviously, during the battle just now, Tiger Claw did everything he could, and his methods were endless, and he even took Daqing Dan. Obviously, Mi Wuzong did not let Xia Gui go at all.

It's really disgraceful to accept the gift and not do anything.

Gu Xun on the high platform announced loudly: "Everyone be quiet, be quiet!" Now I announce the results of the game, this gladiatorial match, the specially invited gladiator wins, and will enter the third layer to continue fighting. ”

"Yes, yes!" cheered from below.

"Congratulations, guest gladiator. Gu Xun shouted to Xia Gui in a loud voice.

Xia Gui just raised his head, with a cold expression on his face.

Having killed Tiger Claw, he did not experience the joy of the victor. On the contrary, he was disgusted with the absurd slaughter that was close to a game.

In order to fight for a chance to live, Tiger Claw actually lies and begs, and kills the enemy by any means, and the sinister and vicious nature of human nature is really exerted to the extreme.

This huge and majestic ancient building is just a place to eat people, people eat people, or watch people eat people, their hearts are almost devoid of humanity!

Once, a gladiatorial arena was also built in the royal palace of the Southern Wilderness. Of course, both in terms of scale and construction age, it is not as good as the gladiatorial arena of Jiuhou Villa, and what is even funnier is that it has been vacant in the palace for many years and is difficult to use once. It's not easy to use it once, but it's mostly a competition to win or lose by force, and to select the strongest warriors, and it is not for the purpose of killing people for fun.

When he was six years old, he was still at the age of being coquettish in the arms of his mother, and one day, a rare gladiatorial tournament was held in the Southern Wilderness Country, in which a gladiator captured by another country appeared on the field. This exotic gladiator obviously didn't know the gladiatorial fighting style of the Southern Wilderness Country, and he was bloodthirsty and murderous as soon as he came up, killing more than ten soldiers in the Southern Wilderness Country, and he became more and more vigorous.

At first, the father and queen mother only felt that this person did not know the severity and shot too hard, but when he was arrested and asked, he learned that in other countries, the gladiatorial arena was actually such an existence that entertained nobles with human lives.

That day, after being silent for a long time, his father ordered the gladiatorial arena to be demolished.

Therefore, after that, there was no more gladiatorial arena in the palace of the Southern Wilderness Kingdom.

"Glah", Xia Gui clenched his fists.

He grew up in the palace, well-dressed, carefree, and never had many troubles. Military and political affairs, the eldest brother is responsible, the battlefield expedition, and the second brother and the fourth brother are responsible, and he reads every day, practices martial arts, plays with the youngest sister, and receives etiquette education from the nobles. It can be said that before the collapse of the country and the city, Xia Gui had never experienced the sinister hearts of the people.

If it weren't for the accident that ruined the country and the family, he would still be studying and practicing martial arts in the Southern Wilderness Country, and it would be impossible for him to understand that the outside world was so turbulent.

Standing in this bloody and tyrannical gladiatorial arena, Xia Guibi misses the Southern Wilderness Country at any time.

Compared to any of these Fang countries, the Southern Wilderness Country is a true pure land......

However, such a quiet and peaceful pure land has ushered in the greedy covetousness of the enemy, but it will be trampled by the enemy's merciless iron hooves.

Could it be because my father was too kind?

Whether Xia Gui is willing to admit it or not, from a certain point of view, kindness and weakness are always interrelated.

The world is a treacherous jungle, and when a race faces the vicious fangs of this jungle with a kind posture, it must be itself that is bruised all over its body.

If you want to stick to the goodness in your heart without getting hurt, then you have to go through a process of gradually becoming stronger. On the way to strength, you will endure all kinds of trials and tribulations, even life and death tests. At some critical moments, you also need to grow sharp fangs yourself in order to survive.

"Hey, guest gladiator, everyone is congratulating you, what are you doing?" one of the officials shouted.

Laughter came from all sides.

"Probably because I won the opponent, I couldn't help but be happy. Another nobleman teased.

"Oh, yes, this is a cross-border victory. Another nobleman said.

"But when you get to the third layer, you're going to die. The previous nobleman said.

"I want to see him killed......" another nobleman said.

On the third floor, a beautiful young woman laughed and said, "Such a handsome little brother, you can't expect him to die." I really couldn't win, so my sister bought it back. ”

Immediately, a number of nobles turned their heads and joked: "Sister Luo, what are you buying him for?

All kinds of voices came from a high place, and the sentence "I really want to see him killed" made Mi Xuefu, who was sitting on the stone bench, face slightly startled, and then a layer of cold anger appeared in his eyes, and he quickly looked at the source of the sound.

The thirteenth aunt sitting next to her had already noticed the strangeness of Mi Xuefu and looked over with interest.

This Xuefu girl is usually clear and jade, indifferent and arrogant, even if the sky falls, the expression on her face will not change half a point. What's going on today? The woman's intuition told her that this Qi Xuefu was obviously a little girl mentality.

"Hehe, Xue Fu girl, your face is so pale. Aunt Thirteen deliberately teased.

Mi Xuefu realized his gaffe, quickly retracted his gaze, and regained his calm and usual expression.

Mi Zhu smiled innocently: "Little Mom, my sister's complexion is not pale, but snow-white." ”

"yes, that's enviable. Aunt Thirteen said with a smile on the corner of her mouth.

Click!

As he spoke, the ladder on the second floor had slowly closed, like a skeleton about to fall apart, making a heavy rolling sound. With a "whoosh", the scrolling ladder finally closed, and the few remaining gladiators on the second floor slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

The folding of the ladder means that the struggle of life and death has finally passed.

Immediately afterward, a ladder slid down from the platform on the third floor, stretched out rapidly, and landed firmly on the ground of the gladiatorial arena with a crisp "pop".

"Go up, invited gladiator, this is the path to the third layer! I hope you can achieve even more brilliant results!" said Mi Wuzong, who was standing on the high platform, in a very infectious voice.

Xia Gui stood on the ground and looked up along the ladder, but saw that pieces of ancient bamboo were connected and paved into a road leading to the murderous Shura Field.

Mi Wuzong's voice full of appeal is like a general encouraging his soldiers to fight bravely to kill the enemy, but in fact, behind the excitement is a hidden murderous motive.

He will definitely set up a new killing array on the third layer, and a more brutal test awaits him.

Xia Gui took a deep breath, looked up at Mi Wuzong in the sky, and then stepped onto the ladder.

......

With Xia Gui walking up the ladder, this much-anticipated battle for the second layer has come to an end. In the midst of countless discussions, everyone remembered this specially invited gladiator, and some even began to inquire about his full name, origin and other information, but unfortunately, they did not get the information they expected.

With countless surprised glances, Xia Gui walked up to the third floor of the gladiatorial arena.

The Colosseum building resembles a narrow-mouthed tower, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom.

The reason why the original designers designed it this way was because both the class that watched the gladiatorial tournament and the gladiators who participated in the competition were layered according to the shape of the pyramid.

There were always more nobles than commoners, and there were fewer and fewer gladiators as they went up, so the entire arena was designed in the shape of a wide-mouth tower.

Standing in the corridor on the third floor and looking down, the onlookers of slaves and domestic servants turned into small figures, and they were also looking up at Xia Gui.

There are only two doors on the third floor, facing each other from north to south.

Xia Gui could clearly feel that the space on the third floor was much narrower than the second floor.

"Squeak-" The north door opened, and Xia Gui walked in.

If the previous two floors were spacious and bright, the third floor was dark and damp in comparison.

Apparently, the designers did not want to divide too much space for the gladiators, so they only drew a narrow corridor as a place for the gladiators to live.

Strange to say, the gladiators of the third layer seem to have automatically divided into two strange camps, with five gladiators gathered in the southern area and seventeen gladiators in the northern area.

That's the total number of people on the third floor: twenty-two.

Seeing this dense distribution in the south and north, Xia Gui also wondered for a moment, wondering if there was an extremely strong opponent in the south, so strong that everyone didn't dare to provoke it, so they could only avoid it.

Compared with the gladiatorial room on the second floor below, the first impression of the gladiatorial room on the third floor was that it was deserted and spacious. This is not surprising, plus Xia Gui himself, there are only twenty-three people in the room, which is indeed quite deserted.

"Someone new?"

Seeing Xia Gui stepping into the north gate, a gladiator said lightly.

Xia Gui didn't know if this sentence was a greeting, he raised his head vigilantly, his eyes swept over everyone's faces one by one, and he carefully looked at these people with the help of a not very clear light.

Compared with the gladiators on the first and second floors, they are generally older, most of them are in their thirties and in the prime of life, and they look more stable. Although there are not many of them, everyone is extremely powerful, and if they exude a strong true qi, everyone is at least a cultivator above the Yongquan Realm.

Moreover, there were only a few people in the early stage of the Yongquan Realm, and most of them were at the level of the third and fourth orders of the Yongquan Realm.

Their beards aren't long and their bodies aren't dirty, it's not that they've not been stuck here long enough to shave, on the contrary, some have been here for even two years. The reason why he didn't have an extremely long beard was because he had enough ability to cut off his beard with qi and wind as a springing realm, and the dust on his body could be shaken off with true qi.

So, the gladiators on the third floor looked cleaner and neater.

Having said that, as a cultivator of the Pulse Realm, Xia Gui can indeed only be regarded as a little brother at the bottom here.

Xia Gui looked around at them, and they were also secretly looking at Xia Gui. Their gaze was different from those on the first floor, waiting for Xia Gui to make a fool of himself, they stared at their prey like a wolf's head, secretly assessing the danger of their opponents.
