Chapter 048: Fighting Cerberus
The strength of the fourth-level gladiator is not bad, but this guy obviously lacks the courage to move forward, or he is not ready to die at all. When facing Cerberus, he lost his momentum at the beginning. In addition, this is a fifth-level zombie hellhound, and its strength is definitely stronger than that of a fourth-level gladiator. So, from the very beginning of the battle, the gladiators were forced to constantly retreat under the attack of Cerberus.
When the two came together, the brave won, and not only did the gladiator not show enough bravery, but he was not as strong as Cerberus, and when he was finally forced to retreat to the edge of the Colosseum's cage, there was no way to retreat.
As a result, he was bitten directly on the left arm by Cerberus, and he was drenched in blood.
"Wow-"
"Oh my God—"
"This guy is injured, he's infected with the zombie virus, he's finished. ”
"But the duel continues, and if he can kill the Cerberus, his family will still be able to get some compensation, and if he can't kill the Cerberus, he will die in vain. ”
The surrounding audience talked about the gladiator when he was bitten by a hellhound, Chen Ning frowned slightly, he learned from the words of the people around him that it turned out that even if the gladiator was bitten by the hellhound and infected with the zombie virus, the game would still continue.
Chen Ning turned his head, squinted his eyes and forgot about the surrounding audience, these guys were all well-dressed, obviously even in Vermilion Bird City, they were considered rich. These upper-class wealthy people live a life of material abundance, completely unaffected by the apocalyptic times, and they live in paradise compared to the vast majority of slum dwellers.
The advent of the end did not make them feel guilty and introspective, even if it was the end of the world, even at the moment when human beings were facing the catastrophe of extermination, they were still living in drunken dreams and death, Chen Ning didn't know what this so-called Colosseum could bring in addition to satisfying the evil taste and bloody desires of these people?
The gladiator's victory over the Cerberus is only a reward of 15 silver coins, which can buy about 100 loaves of bread, which means that a fourth-level warrior is forced to gamble his life for a mere 1,500 loaves of bread to satisfy the cruel desires of these noble lords.
I don't know if it's because of the integrity of his heart or because he was born in a slum, Chen Ning looked at the eyes of the aristocratic lords around him, and he was a little strange.
Liu Ruyan, who was sitting next to him, sensitively caught the strangeness of Chen Ning's eyes, she knew that Chen Ning was sympathizing with the gladiator, hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "Presumably you feel the same way as that gladiator because you hesitate to fight with Cerberus, so you pity his suffering, right?" In fact, you are an officer reserve talent of the Immortal Bird Legion, and your future is good, based on your good relationship with Bai Yuhao, I think if you open your mouth to borrow money from him, he will definitely be willing to lend it to you, you don't need to go down to challenge the Cerberus in person." ”
Chen Ning didn't speak, his eyes were watching the battle in the gladiatorial arena.
The gladiator was injured and infected with the zombie virus, and his death was already his doomed end.
Because he knew that he was going to die, on the contrary, the scruples in his heart, as well as the idea of greed for life and fear of death, were completely gone, which also completely burst out of his true strength, and it was estimated that he wanted to leave a little money for his family if he died, so the gladiators began to fight back with all their might.
In the outburst, the gladiator not only stabbed one eye of the leftmost head of the Cerberus, but also cut off the head on the right side of the Cerberus, showing bravery.
It's a pity that this also completely angered the Cerberus, the Cerberus is a zombie, and the head in its middle is the main head, and it doesn't feel pain, so after the gladiator cut off the rightmost head, it went crazy. directly flipped the gladiator to the ground and bit off the gladiator's hands and feet, but he was not in a hurry to bite the gladiator to death, but slowly tortured and killed like a cat playing with a mouse......
Sou!
Cerberus bit the gladiator's head again, biting the gladiator's left ear, and ripping the gladiator's ear off in one fell swoop.
"Ahh
The gladiators let out a terrible scream, and everyone at the scene covered their ears and watched the scene.
A wave of anger suddenly spread in the VIP seat area, Bai Yuhao subconsciously turned his head, and then saw Chen Ning not far away with an angry face.
Chen Ning said coldly that enough was enough, then pulled out the military dagger he was wearing at his waist, threw it violently, and the dagger swooped into the Colosseum, piercing the heart of the gladiator. The gladiators, who were tortured to the point of being inhuman, finally died free.
Now everyone was stunned for a moment, and then someone shouted: "Damn, who, who is the one who destroys the sacred duel, arrest him, and punish him severely!"
At the same time, there were fully armed staff on the scene, led by a middle-aged manager wearing a suit and a mustache, who came towards Chen Ning with an unkind face, and they could see clearly just now that it was Chen Ning who intervened in the game.
When the mustachioed manager came to Chen Ning, he was a little difficult.
First, he found out that Chen Ning was wearing the uniform of the Immortal Bird Legion, and secondly, he found out that Chen Ning was Bai Yuhao's friend.
The voices of the surrounding audience are getting louder and louder, and the staff is required to severely punish Chen Ning, otherwise they will return the ticket money.
The mustache had no choice, so he could only say to Bai Yuhao: "Bai Gongzi, your friend broke the rules......"
Bai Yuhao looked at the mustache arrogantly: "Aren't the rules just for breaking?"
The mustache knew that Bai Yuhao's father, Bai Chongshan, was the commander of the broken army in Vermilion Bird City, and he couldn't afford to provoke Bai Yuhao, so he planned to knock out his teeth and swallow blood, and was about to grit his teeth and order his subordinates to return the ticket money of all the audience.
Bai Yuhao saw that the mustache lowered his head, his face softened a little, and he said lightly: "You tell my housekeeper the amount of the refund money, and he will compensate you." ”
The mustache smiled when he heard it, which was a good solution.
But Chen Ning heard that Bai Yuhao had to pay for his actions, and there were 2,000 people on the scene, and all the ticket prices for VIP seats and ordinary seats were estimated to cost six or seven hundred gold coins!
Although Chen Ning regarded Bai Yuhao as a brother, he couldn't be a brother like this, so he interrupted without hesitation and said, "Wait a minute." ”
The mustache frowned and looked at Chen Ning, Chen Ning said slowly: "That gladiator has already lost, let him continue to fight just now, there is nothing to look forward to......"
When someone in the surrounding audience heard Chen Ning's words, someone immediately choked and said: "You can't interfere with the game if you don't look at it, you don't think it's worth watching, we think it's very interesting for the zombie to bite that guy, and now that he's dead, are you going down to duel with Cerberus?"
This was just an angry remark, but what everyone didn't expect was that Chen Ning actually stood up and said coldly: "Yes, I'll go down to fight this hellhound duel, Mustachioed Manager, it's okay, right?"
The mustache manager was stunned by Chen Ning's behavior, and said: "According to the rules, it is indeed possible to challenge, and if you win, you will get 15 silver coins as a reward, but if you lose, you can only bear the consequences." ”
Su Luo and Da Luo and Xiao Luo also became nervous, and persuaded one after another: "Chen Ning, don't be impulsive, this is a fifth-level hellhound zombie, although it was cut off a head, its strength has been greatly reduced, but it is not something that you can match as a second-level soldier." ”
Chen Ning said calmly: "I am already a third-level soldier!"
Su Luo and the others were stunned when they heard this, and while they were happy for Chen Ning, they couldn't help but roll their eyes: "Even if you are already a third-level soldier, you can't match the hellhound, it is estimated that it still has the strength of a fourth-level zombie!"
Bai Yuhao also opened his mouth to persuade Chen Ning, but Chen Ning had already taken the lead in saying to Bai Yuhao: "Bai Shao, you don't have to persuade me, I just want to kill this hellhound and avenge the gladiator, it's as simple as that." ”
Liu Ruyan next to him rolled his eyes and thought: You have another purpose, that is, you want to win against Cerberus and earn gold coins to pay back my money.
Everyone was unable to stop Chen Ning, and finally the mustache manager excitedly announced: "This Mr. Chen Ning in the VIP seat on the scene, he is going to personally challenge the Cerberus, what is even more unexpected is that he only has the strength of a third-level soldier, there is no doubt about this, our staff has verified it personally, Chen Ning's realistic martial arts veins have indeed only lit up three nodes." Level 3 Immortal Bird Legion soldiers, challenge Level 5 Zombie Cerberus, who will win, everyone wait and see, and you can actively bet and participate in our live betting!"
Everyone is one-sided to buy Cerberus to win, so Chen Ning's odds are getting higher and higher, reaching 200:1!
This is still because Bai Yuhao bet 100 gold coins on Chen Ning, otherwise the odds would be higher.
Liu Ruyan followed Chen Ning's secret advice and helped Chen Ning place three gold coins to buy Chen Ning to win.
She hesitated, and bought ten gold coins to buy Chen Ning to win, she thought to herself: Hmph, for your sake, for the sake of your arrogance, I will buy ten gold coins to gamble. If you lose, it is estimated that the debt will not be returned, and my aunt and grandmother will lose a lot!
