[107] The Lion of Nemea
"Next, by the dragon king, fight against the Nemean Lion!"
Are you coming to this place again?
After a week, under the shouts and cheers of countless people, Drunken Moon climbed into this place, and what she was about to face was another bloody battle.
In a week, he defeated the Ghost Mastiff and King Cobra here, brought Boss Lei two victories, and spread his name all over the Colosseum, and these two battles almost became the talk of the underworld bosses who watched the last beast fight.
It doesn't seem to be much different from entering here in a week, but her own length has actually broken through the 4.5-meter mark, perhaps the fierce battle and injuries have promoted her growth......
Because I heard about the magic of Drunken Moon from various channels, this time when it was her turn to appear, more expectant faces appeared in the audience.
But what Drunken Moon pays the most attention to is the lion who exudes endless anger and is pressing towards him.
The lion was more majestic and majestic than ordinary lions, with a thick and plump mane around its neck, and its fur was also flexible and strong, and it walked into the Colosseum with graceful and majestic steps, approaching the drunken moon.
His eyes were fixed on the motionless Drunken Moon, the lion did not act rashly, not to contempt for the 4.5-meter snake Drunken Moon, but to feel the different breath in the Drunken Moon's body, vigilantly observing the flaws of the Drunken Moon, and not attacking easily.
Obviously, this lion is more calm and elegant than the ghost mastiff and king cobra that attacked madly when he saw Drunken Moon before, like a king.
This also proves that this lion is wise and powerful, which is bad news for Drunken Moon.
In the VIP seat, a middle-aged man with the same elegant demeanor as the lion on the field, like a king, sat upright, accompanied by two stunning beauties, but his hot eyes were always staring at the lion and python on the battlefield.
"This snake is not simple, no wonder the Thunder Tiger will give it the name of Dragon King......" Xu Ao waved his hand comfortably and hugged the beauty beside him, "It's a good material, but it's a pity that I met my Nemea, the Iron Lion who has won twelve games in a row!"
"That guy Xu Ao, he still uses this lion ......" Boss Lei stared at his eyebrows, looking at the face of his sworn enemy Xu Ao, if he was a fierce beast, he would like to rush up and tear him apart.
Boss Lei, maybe he won't have such a desire to survive when he gambles with other forces, the presidents of the consortium, and the sons, but that Xu Ao, he swears that he will never lose to him!
He and Xu Ao have been rivals since they were children because of family reasons, and they have fought against each other in various places, and they also have their own victories and defeats in this Colosseum Casino.
But since Xu Ao got the Iron Lion that he named after the mythical lion, the pattern of five or five openings has been broken.
The steel lion bit down many fighting beasts in Boss Lei, including his favorite snow wolf snow general, and his arrogance was out of control.
This time against Xu Ao, he unexpectedly encountered the Iron Lion, which made Boss Lei very worried, whether the drunken moon, who had just made his debut in the Colosseum, could fight against the Iron Lion, who had already won twelve consecutive victories.
He didn't like it, the best fighting beast he had finally domesticated, the dragon king, was buried in the lion's mouth like this.
"Nemea, shred it!!"
Xu Ao stretched out his hand and shouted, as if he was manipulating the lion, and the lion also let out a high roar.
The roar of the King of the Prairie made Zuiyue frightened.
As for the origin of the title of the Iron Lion, it is inextricably linked to ancient Greek mythology.
In Greek legend, the Peloponnese in the region of Argolis, the great forest of Nemea between Nemia and Crevorna, where the Nemean lion was entrenched, it was extremely fierce, it is said that its skin was stronger than gold and iron, and it could not be penetrated by swords and spears, and human weapons could not harm it at all, so it was a scourge, and the people were miserable.
Hercules' brother to the king gave him twelve problems. The first of these problems was to order him to kill the great lion in the great forest of Menea, and remove its fur.
The hero took up his bow and arrows, and made a stick of olive wood, and set out immediately, and after half a day, finally found a lair in the mountain. He hid behind the bushes, and when the lion returned, he took advantage of its unpreparedness and shot an arrow at its left flank. Unexpectedly, the arrow bounced away, unable to penetrate the lion's skin. He fired another shot in the chest, but it was equally to no avail. At this time, the lion had discovered the hero's hiding and pounced.
Hercules struck him on the head with a stick, and the stick cracked. Although the lion's scalp was not broken, it was also unstable under the shock, and he fell to the ground dizzy. So the hero threw down his bow and arrows, grabbed the lion's neck with both arms, and gradually lifted the whole lion's body. The beast finally suffocated to death.
Cutting through the skin with its claws, it finally peeled the lion's skin off. Later, he sewed a piece of armor from this bizarre lion skin and also made a new helmet. He packed up the lion skins and weapons he had brought, draped the skins of the great Nemian lions over his shoulders, and set out for Telins.
The killing of the Nemean lion was the first of the twelve great deeds of Hercules, and Zeus, the king of the gods, in order to commemorate Hercules' exploits in eliminating the evil of the people, raised the body of the giant lion into the sky and became the constellation Leo.
And the lion in front of him was given the titles of "Nemea Lion" and "Iron Lion", and its strength is self-evident.
"Roaring ——!"
Taking advantage of the drunken moon's stunned moment, the lion pounced across a distance of six or seven meters.
"It's so fast!" really scared Zuiyue, I didn't expect the lion's bounce to be so strong!
She bounced to the right and dodged, but the tail that didn't have time to dodge was still grazed by the claws, fortunately it wasn't an injury, but this time she also knew that the sky was high and thick.
"This lion is so powerful, it's not the same level as the ghost mastiff and the king cobra!"
Turning the lion's head, the lion chased after the panicked Drunken Moon, and his movements were extremely sharp, and it was difficult to even touch the lion, let alone strangle, and the Drunken Moon seemed to be able to only passively retreat.
After a few rounds of wonderful fighting, the two sides distanced themselves, the lion opened his big mouth and gasped a little, and Zuiyue was also hot because of the strenuous exercise.
Her snake also had the scratches of a lion's claw, but to her dismay, the lion was unscathed except for its breath.
Drunken Moon, who is uneasy in her heart, immediately uses her recovery skill and the Snake's Mark to restore her injuries.
After seeing the lion's attack power, she started to fight a protracted battle, relying on her excellent recovery ability, and when the lion's physical strength reaches the limit, it will be herself who will win......
The two sides are holding on to each other, ready to launch the next deadly attack.
