Chapter 23: The Colosseum
In the days that followed, the caravan went all the way down without incident. When the caravan came to a small town, they saw a group of demon people who had been waiting at the entrance of the town for a long time, and when they saw it tomorrow morning, they asked the leader and said, "Big brother, they won't attack us like the demon soldiers before!"
"Don't worry!" said the leader with a relaxed face, "We come here often, they are just villagers of the town, although they are demons, they are very simple, and they treat us very well. Every time we come here, we will give them some goods for free!"
"That's it!".
After entering the town, Ming Chen found that what the leader said was indeed good, and after they entered the town, the villagers respected them very much. In the eyes of the demon villagers, it seems that they are here to save them. Moreover, every time the caravan wanted something, they did everything they could to get it.
Every time Ming Chen saw this scene, he sighed in his heart: "The villagers here have really beautiful hearts! Some of our human races are not as good as them! Alas! Perhaps, some of our understanding of the demon race is wrong!" Thinking of this, Ming Chen decided to start observing their lives from here.
In the days when they lived in the town, in addition to their daily cultivation and selling goods with the caravan, they just observed the customs of the demon people here.
After everyone's observation, they were surprised to find that in addition to the appearance of the demon race and the human race, their way of life was exactly the same as that of the human race. They also have their own shops, their own land, and even their own money. After Ming Chen and the others saw this, their understanding of the demon race had changed greatly, and in order to let the human race have a better understanding of the demon race, Ming Chen wrote these all in a book. After a week's rest, Ming Chen and the others continued to move forward in front of the caravan.
A month later, the caravan arrived at a city as planned, the City of Silence. After entering the city, because the caravan had to rest and sell goods here, Ming Chen and the others had to stay in the city of Silence for half a month.
During this period of time, in addition to cultivating, Ming Chen and the others went to observe the cultivation methods of the demon clan. They found that the cultivation methods and strength of the demon race were similar to those of the human race. In addition to daily training, they also improved their strength by taking pills or absorbing the aura of some treasures, but what made Ming Chen curious was that the demon clan actually had a gladiatorial arena. This does not exist in the Terrans. After learning about it tomorrow morning, he took everyone to the gladiatorial arena.
When I came to the gate of the gladiatorial arena, I heard only the shouts of the crowd and the bite of the beasts. After hearing this, Mu Xi complained to Ming Chen: "Ming Chen, it's so messy inside, why should we go in?"
"This," Ming Chen said, "Although there is chaos inside, there are many masters of the demon clan gathered inside, I heard that this gladiatorial arena is very famous in the demon clan! Demon people from all over the world have come here, and it just so happens that we take this opportunity to know the strength of the demon clan, which will also be helpful for our future cultivation! Moreover, only actual combat is the way to truly improve our own strength! Mu Xi, what I said is right?"
Although Mu Xi was unhappy, Mu Xi still agreed, and after the six of them discussed, they did not enter through the main entrance, but entered through the side door instead. Just as the six of them were about to enter, suddenly a gatekeeper said, "Hey, who are you? Do you know that this is the gladiatorial arena?
After hearing this, Ming Chen handed him the token engraved with the name of "Moon Dew", he glanced at the person who knelt on the ground and said, "Strange villain, please forgive the duke!" Ming Chen saw the gatekeeper constantly kowtowing and begging for mercy, and thought: "What a powerful right this moon dew actually gave me! It actually scared a person with the strength to break the realm like this!" Thinking of this, Ming Chen said, "Okay, I don't blame you! After all, this is my first time here, and it's normal for you not to know me!"
"Yes!". When the gatekeeper got up, Ming Chen said, "I'm sorry for you to go and call your steward!" After a while, I saw a fair-skinned and tall man running in front of Ming Chen: "Lord Duke, I am the steward here, I don't know what you are looking for me?"
Ming Chen said: "It's not a big deal, we just want to go in and have a look." ”
"That's right!" said the steward, "then I'll arrange a place for you now!"
"No need!" said Ming Chen, "Duke Ben doesn't like to be so troublesome! You just need to take us in and take a walk!
"Yes, please, my lord!"
Under the leadership of the steward, Ming Chen and the others smoothly entered the gladiatorial arena. After entering, he saw a human race wearing shackles fighting a demonic beast several times larger than him. When Ming Chen saw it, he was puzzled: "Steward, why are there human beings in the gladiatorial arena?"
When the steward heard this, he said, "In addition to those contestants in our gladiatorial arena, there are also some prisoners in the cells. Speaking of which, it's a bit of a pity, the last time His Majesty the Emperor destroyed the Outer Wonderland, he captured two fairies, one called Yuyun Fairy and the other called Frost Snow Girl. If you can buy the two of them back, it will definitely attract more people! Alas!
"What!" Ming Chen was shocked when he heard it. But Ming Chen still asked very calmly, "Then do you know where these two fairies are kept?"
"Oh!" said the steward, "they're locked up in the Moon Moon Prison in Moon Demon City. That prison is our partner in the Colosseum! every time they have some captives they can't handle, they send them to us, and we buy them for a hundred gold for each Terran captive. That's how our gladiatorial arena business is thriving!"
After hearing this, Ming Chen looked at the audience and thought: "This group of people is really terrible! Looking at the bloody scene below, they didn't have a trace of sympathy, but only a sense of joy spontaneously erupted from their hearts." This gladiatorial arena must not be left alone!".
After a while, Ming Chen asked, "Even if there are more Terran captives, but there are so many fierce demonic beasts in the gladiatorial arena, I'm afraid those Terran captives will soon be gone! How do you guarantee their lives?"
Hearing this, the steward smiled and said, "Actually, we told them that as long as they insist on fighting against the ten demonic beasts and not die, we will set them free." Of course, this is a lie to them! They were very motivated when they heard it! The audience was also very happy when they saw it. They don't have to think about it, even if we let them go. In the territory of the demons, can they survive?hahaha!" Speaking of this, the steward couldn't help but laugh.
Ming Chen saw his expression and said with disgust in his heart: "This guy, it's really an unforgivable sin to play with other people's hopes for survival at will! It's a pity that this is the territory of the demon clan." Or I'll kill you!"
Just as the two were talking, they saw that the person who was dueling with the Warcraft was torn apart by the Warcraft in front of everyone. It has become food for monsters. When the people saw it, they didn't have the slightest sympathy, and they all cheered when they saw it: "Good! Well done! That's it! Tear him apart!"
Mu Xi couldn't bear it after seeing this scene, and at this time, Mu Xi's body suddenly lost its balance and accidentally leaned on Ming Chen's shoulder. Ming Chen and others were shocked when they saw it.
Just when he helped Mu Xi up tomorrow morning, Mu Xi thought to himself: "What kind of mistake did they make, they just want to live, but they have to be treated inhumanely." Their deaths were merely to make those present laugh. This...... It's so inhuman!
At that moment, the steward said, "Is this young lady all right?
"No!" Ming Chen hugged Mu Xi in his arms and said, "My wife is kind by nature, and she can't stand this kind of bloody incident the most." Whenever I see this scene, my wife will have this situation. Don't worry!"
"That's right!" said the steward, "the Duke has such a virtuous lady, and the lady has such a considerate husband. What an honor for the two of them! The villain admires!
At this time, Mu Xi, who was in Ming Chen's arms, kept steaming and said in surprise: "Ming Chen just called me Madame......! Just when Mu Xi was thinking about it in his heart, at this time, Ming Chen was worried about Mu Xi's physical condition and said a few words to the steward and hurriedly left.
On the way back from the dueling arena, Ming Chen and the others all had dark faces. After the six people sat down, they were all silent, and at this time, Bai Yu and Qin Yufei suddenly felt uncomfortable, and the two of them hurriedly rushed out.
At this time, the eldest grandson Zhongda suddenly said: "Tomorrow morning, I really can't stand it, these demons actually use those captives as food for the demon beasts, this is really outrageous! ”
"Yes!" At this time, Yu Shu also echoed, "That's right, Eldest Sun Zhongda is right! Tomorrow morning, we will go and smash the gladiatorial arena while it is getting dark!"
"Wait a minute," Ming Chen said unusually calmly, "people must be saved! And we must not only save people, but also rescue the Afterglow Fairy and the Frost Snow Maiden." ”
After hearing this, Yu Shu said, "However, the two fairies are in the Moon Demon City. And the steward also said that the place where they were being held was heavily guarded, and we couldn't save them at all!"
"I'll figure out a way to do this then!" Ming Chen said, "I have an idea now, is it feasible for you to listen to it?" After hearing this, the four of them all came to Ming Chen. After muttering tomorrow morning, Yu Shu said, "The solution is good, but will it be a bit risky?"
"No way!" Ming Chen said, "This is the only way to do it at the moment." If you do it in the gladiatorial arena, it will not arouse too much suspicion, and the people in the gladiatorial arena will be in a commotion. Let's get out of here. ”
"Okay then! Just do as you say!" Then I'll go up with my eldest grandson, Zhongda!"
"Okay!" Ming Chen instructed, "You must be careful then, if it weren't for my affairs spreading in the Demon Clan, I wouldn't want you to take risks!"
"It's okay," at this time, the eldest grandson Zhongda patted Ming Chen's shoulder and said, "The last time you dealt with the demons in the Demon Pass, you were out of the limelight, and now, it's time for the two of us to show off in front of the demons!"
"Good!". At this time, Ming Chen turned to Mu Xi and said, "Mu Xi!
At this time, when Mu Xi was immersed in being frightened by the beast and calling himself his wife by Ming Chen, Mu Xi reacted after Ming Chen's repeated reminders, she looked at Ming Chen and replied delicately: "Oh! I'm here!
Ming Chen looked at Mu Xi and thought, "Also, Mu Xi really can't stand seeing such a cruel scene today!" Thinking of this, Ming Chen asked, "Mu Xi, did today's incident make you feel uncomfortable?"
"I'm fine!" Mu Xi said, "Mingchen, don't worry! I remember everything you just said." I will take Qin Yufei and Bai Yi to contact the people of the caravan and ask them to respond. You can do it boldly!"
"Okay then!" said Ming Chen, "Everyone, you must be careful tomorrow, don't be sloppy!". Everyone nodded when they heard this. Then everyone went to rest.
