159. The road to the fourth floor
The sensational third-tier gladiatorial battle has finally come to an end.
In the discussion of countless nobles and commoners, Xia Gui became famous for a time and became the most prominent figure in Jiuhou Villa, and his deeds after entering the village were also deeply picked up and widely spread in the villa.
A slave boy who used to be the lowest level of slaves became the leader of the slave group in just one month, and he did a good job and made many meritorious contributions. And when the teenager entered the village for three months, he completed a four-star difficult task, directly restored his civilian status, and was promoted to a domestic servant.
This young little domestic servant even became a special guest gladiator in the gladiatorial arena, shining in one dizzying battle after another, and reached the fourth floor.
Many nobles and officials in the villa were suspicious of Xia Gui's origins and began to investigate this person's background. But they found that this person's background was very ordinary, with only a simple name and hometown, and they didn't know if he was a displaced person who fled the war. No matter how much they dig in, they won't be able to dig up more information.
At this moment, Cao Ming was so happy that his face was full of red light, and he blew when he saw people, and even grabbed the purple dill with a sad face, and praised Haikou. Say that he and Xia Gui are fellow villagers, Xia Gui has a lucky star, even if he enters the fourth layer, he will be fine, it's a big deal to make another breakthrough, and directly break through to the next realm.
Ziluo smiled bitterly, this young man must be too optimistic.
Xia Gui was able to break through to the Yongquan Realm at the third layer, and he had already done everything he could, and it was almost impossible for him to create another miracle.
However, fortunately, there were more and more nobles who were interested in Xia Gui, and many forces began to persuade Mi Wuzong to keep this person and not let him be killed. Mi Wuzong just snorted, and did not agree or refuse.
Small lakeside.
A pure white cloth shoe with a pointed toe tip gently clicked on the surface of the lake, causing a ripple in circles. A very beautiful girl is treading water. Through the plain cloth shoes, you can even see the pair of crystal beautiful jade feet in the shoes, which are really graceful when they fall together.
Dingding.
Hearing the crisp sound of treading water, the young man sitting by the lake also slowly turned his head, only to see a beautiful figure already appeared in his eyelids.
"Yo, what's the wind that blew you. "This young man is none other than Mi Wuzong.
Today, after he saw Mi Xuefu, he no longer had the love and surprise of the past, but was replaced by a look of jealousy.
Obviously, Xue Fu was detached from him, pleading for a little slave rather than ignoring himself, and this distinction really annoyed him, and he didn't have to lick the hot stickers.
Mi Xuefu glanced at him quietly, "Mi Wuzong, you said that you don't do anything, but you used pills to help other gladiators twice. ”
Mi Wu indulged in bitterness and said coldly: "He's just a little domestic servant, I can do whatever I want." When did you become so warm-hearted, you actually came to denounce me for irrelevant people. ”
"Anyone with a discerning eye can see that he has taken the medicine, who else but you instructed?" don't you think you're ashamed?"
"It's just a competition, what's the shame! It's Xuefu sister you, you have to pay more attention to your behavior. You are the honor of the young lady, and you have repeatedly helped this little bastard, and it has spread all over the villa, and even the ghost marquis has begun to investigate the origin of this person. What's even more interesting is that you have become the envy of countless domestic servants and slaves up and down this mountain village. They all hope that you can deign to drive and love them for once. "This Mi Wuzong is really getting more and more energetic, and even the end note is deliberately prolonged, showing that he has an intention.
Mi Xuefu's brows moved, and she was angry, "Mi Wuzong, what are you talking about with foul language!"
Mi Wuzong seemed to be greatly satisfied, "It's not what I said, what are you doing to be angry at me! If you want to block this mouth, you must pay attention to your words and deeds." Ah, by the way, in the next game, don't worry, I will definitely not give any help to that warrior on the fourth floor. ”
Mi Xuefu's cold gaze focused on his face.
"You want to ask me why? Hehe, Changhe Realm, do you still need my help? Hahahahaha!"
After finishing speaking, Mi Wuzong smiled proudly.
Little bastard, little bastard, no matter how talented and capable you are, what else can you do in the face of the masters of the Long River Realm?
You've finally come to the end of your life!
A hint of gloom swept up Mi Xuefu's eyebrows.
She was usually immersed in cultivation and didn't care much about the gladiatorial arena, including who this master who was imprisoned in the fourth layer and what level of cultivation he had, she almost never knew.
She thought that the people imprisoned in this fourth layer might be the great peak of the Yongquan Realm, or the Murmuring River Realm, and maybe even the masters of the Great Peak of the Murmuring River Realm, but she never expected it to be the Long River Realm!
How powerful the Changhe Realm is, I'm afraid I don't need to think too much. If you want to use an analogy, the gap between these two realms is like an elephant crushing an ant.
"Shameless. Mi Xuefu squeezed out two words from between her teeth.
Qi Wuzong didn't laugh angrily, "Sister Xuefu, you are also from the Changhe Realm, I'm afraid you can understand how terrifying the Changhe Realm is better than me." I don't know if you're powerful, or if the fourth-layer warrior is even more powerful? Tomorrow, this kid can only pray if there is a way to die a little more happily. ”
......
The outer ring of the gladiatorial arena.
A long, spiraling staircase spirals around the massive ancient building, winding its way up to the promenade on the fourth floor.
The fourth level, the only mysterious high point that cannot be reached through the ladder, has always been regarded as a forbidden place. At its entrance, you can see the blessings of the brilliant formations, suppressing the warriors who are imprisoned here.
The end of this road is the end of Xia Gui's trip.
As a new gladiator, I have to say that he has created a miracle, and he has only one round to go straight to the fourth layer, which is really a brilliant record.
Led by two soldiers, Xia Gui stepped up the mottled and worn staircase and walked towards the highest fourth floor.
The first step, the first order, the three of them walked extremely slowly, as if every extra step they took would reach the end of their lives.
And under the high platform, many people gathered to see the excitement. There are many "fans" of Xia Gui here, and there are also some civilians who are curious about the fourth layer, wanting to see how Xia Gui entered this mysterious fourth layer.
"Brother Bu, how long ago was the last time you walked up this stone step?" said the young-looking soldier in front of Xia Gui.
"It seems like four months ago. The slightly older soldier behind Xia Gui said.
"Yes!" the young soldier patted his head.
Xia Gui listened quietly, which meant that the last time a gladiator who had ascended to the fourth layer appeared was four months ago.
"It's been four months, and this gladiator entrenched in the fourth layer hasn't changed people, and the waves of challengers can't shake his position, and almost half of the masters in the gladiatorial arena have died. Come to think of it, it's really tragic. The soldier in front said.
"Defeat him and you will be free, and the challenger will naturally follow suit. The older soldier said.
"It's a pity that no one got their wish. This master of the Long River Realm almost killed the gods when he saw the gods, and killed the Buddha when he saw the Buddha, but later, all the masters in the gladiatorial arena withered, and the remaining gladiators were no longer willing to challenge him, so they all adopted the tactics of messing around. The young soldier said.
"Life is more important than freedom. The older soldier said.
Hearing this, Xia Gui's heart was shocked, this master hidden in the fourth layer turned out to be a top master in the Changhe Realm!
For a moment, Xia Gui had only one thought in his mind, is this the heavens going to kill me......
His father, the leader of the Southern Wilderness Country, was also a cultivator in the late stage of the Long River Realm. Although there is still a certain gap between him and the group of old monsters in the Nujiang Realm and Canghai Realm, this level is enough for him to fight in the south and the north and govern the country.
When he was young, his father had always been the object of Xia Gui's reverence, and he also vowed that when he grew up, he would at least enter the Changhe Realm and become a master who was not weaker than his father.
Now, in this four-story gladiatorial arena, a master of the Long River Realm has been imprisoned!
Does this mean that you don't have to think about anything, just admit defeat and surrender......
The bad news continued to come, and the young soldier was heard say: "This fierce god seems to be looking forward to leaving the gladiatorial arena as soon as possible, so he kills people like numbness and commits countless murders. I heard that he had slain seven hundred and ninety-nine people and ascended to the fourth floor of the arena. Young Master Wu Zong ordered, as long as one more head is added and eight hundred are gathered, he will be given freedom. ”
Xia Gui's heart trembled, eight hundred lives!
"It is said that this warrior was also born on the battlefield before, and he is used to licking blood on the knife edge, and killing a hundred people is not a big deal. The elder Brother Bu said.
The young soldier who walked in front turned his head, suddenly had a thought, and said to Xia Gui: "Hey, if we talk so much, will it affect your mood?"
The young soldier was also good-hearted, and considering that Xia Gui was already half a foot into the grave, he had a trace of sympathy for Xia Gui, so he turned back and asked with concern.
"It's fine. Xia Gui smiled bitterly, "What you said is true?"
"Oh, yes......" the young soldier nodded regretfully.
The bitter smile on Xia Gui's face also froze, and a slightly pale expression floated on his cheeks.
The young soldier in front of him said, "Turtle, we have watched so many games, and we are actually quite convinced of you." You are the youngest and most potential of all the warriors who have reached the fourth layer, but unfortunately...... Hey......"
The soldier in the back said: "Okay, okay, don't talk so much, everything is life and death." What good can you do by telling him this now other than make him sadder?"
"Yes, Brother Bu, you're right, I don't talk much. The soldier in front said.
The three of them silently walked up dozens of steps to the door of the fourth floor.
When I walked here and took a closer look, I realized that what was pasted on the stone wall was actually four brilliant third-order arrays.
The mysterious formation was slowly circulating, and an extremely terrifying spiritual power was surging like an undercurrent.
It was not difficult to understand that only a powerful third-order great array was enough to trap this master of the Long River Realm.
"Where's the key?" asked the older soldier.
"Oh. The young soldier took out a special piece of talisman paper from his bosom and unfolded it against the long wind. But I saw a mysterious and complex formation engraved on the rune paper, fluorescent and full of mystery.
At the same time, the older soldier also took out another symmetrical rune paper, the two rune papers rattled in the wind, and the formation aura on it swirled, fluctuating strongly.
The two soldiers, one old and one young, placed the formation rune paper on the four third-order large arrays, and the aura flowed down from the two "keys" like mercury and merged into the other four large arrays. The aura of different colors eroded and neutralized each other, mottled and beautiful, until in the end, the spiritual power on the large array was finally diluted.
Xia Gui suddenly realized that these two formations were the key.
This is not surprising, since this person is besieged with a third-order large array, in the same way, if you want to open this large array, you have to use another formation to crack it.
With a soft "squeak", a wooden door appeared on the wall, and this wooden door slowly opened.
