Chapter 1915: Brutal Game
The circular dueling arena is the size of four or five football fields combined, and the whole is cylindrical, with spectator seats rising and extending upwards one by one, and a platform twenty meters high in the center. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
At this time, the platform was empty and there was nothing but flying yellow sand, and the audience entered the venue one after another, and the crowded crowd made the venue extremely noisy.
Mo Ye and Yan An didn't have the current currency of the Weilan Empire, let alone buying tickets to watch gladiatorial matches, even if they wanted to buy a cup of juice to quench their thirst, it would be impossible.
"The Weilan Empire has reformed the currency so thoroughly. Yan An looked at the ticket in his hand and sighed.
The tickets for the two of them were robbed from scalpers in the streets and alleys outside the venue, and the scalpers are still thinking about the true meaning of life in the trash can.
The two leaders of the Night Yama Explorer Regiment glanced at each other and accepted an extremely cruel reality, the two of them were now clean-faced, and they hadn't tried the days when they couldn't even afford a piece of white bread when they were penniless for many years.
"Otherwise, you go and play twice, I heard that gladiatorial competitions are quite profitable. Yan An's particularly sincere suggestion was really not polite at all.
Captain, your gentlemanly demeanor and noble son's spirit have all been completely lost by mental illness?
Mo Ye also seriously thought about it, "It's not efficient." β
"Yes. Yan An nodded, "It's better to rob the rich and help the poor faster." β
Mo Ye is also thinking about how to make some money, but he can't really live by robbing the rich and helping the poor all the way.
Starnet Bank's non-physical currency was banned, and the current currency in circulation in the Weilan Empire was a specially treated paper money and an Empire's exclusive bank card, and the common currencies of other countries and the Star Alliance were all abolished and abandoned.
The system of the Weilan Empire is reflected in all aspects, and Resas the Great wants to reverse the rapid development of tens of thousands of years of human civilization back to the feudal rule, which is not light.
The two seemed to be chatting, but in fact they had been observing the surrounding environment, and the gadget Yan An held in his hand could listen to all the conversations around him and filter and analyze useful information.
From the audience's conversation, we can generally understand what the situation of the Weilan Empire, at least this planet, is.
A gong and drum resounded in every corner of the gladiatorial arena, shaking the eardrums, and the originally noisy arena quieted down for a moment, and all the spectators were attracted by the loud sound.
"Today is the opening season of this year's gladiatorial league, Alder, and Alder was able to stand out from the crowd and be part of the opening exhibition tournament not only because of our strong gladiators, but also because we have the most enthusiastic audience in the whole empire. β
The host's passionate speech made the scene erupt in a tsunami-like cheer, and all the audience in the packed venue shouted and clapped excitedly in response to the host's compliment.
"Each and every one of us has contributed to Alder's gladiatorial cause, don't you?"
"Yes"
A deafening shout.
Mo Ye's brows furrowed slightly, and he reached out to hold Yan An's wrist, and a gentle and cool magic power was injected into Yan An's body.
The mania that had been about to move suddenly quieted down.
"I almost couldn't hold it when my brain suddenly got hot just now, what's going on?"
Mo Ye looked left and right, "Don't you think these viewers are a little too excited?"
"It's exciting, but it's always adrenaline-pumping. β
"Yes, it's more convenient to use. β
Mo Ye's mental power covered the entire venue, and she could clearly see the facial expressions of each audience member and sense their every emotional fluctuation.
Excited, expectant, fanatical, and crazy to describe their psychology at the moment is a little restrained and restrained.
After the moderator's warm-up speech, he finally got to the point.
"In the first exhibition match, we invite our unique Alder's pride, our beloved brave gladiator, Ironback Statham, who will lead a group of gladiators to bring a wonderful battle and an exciting performance. β
A cylindrical platform slowly rose from the center of the empty platform, and a reckless man with a height of more than two meters and five muscles bulging appeared in everyone's sight.
His overgrown fur made him look like a humanoid beast, and he didn't have a fully armed combat uniform, only leather armor that covered a few key parts, most of his skin was exposed to the air, and the hideous scars were clearly visible, and the medal-like ones were exposed.
Behind him rose a dozen or so platforms, each of which contained a human gladiator, male and female, each dressed in vintage leather armor, some with blank expressions, others terrified and confused.
"Their opponent today isβ"
The host sold the guanzi at this moment, deliberately panting, so that the audience also raised their expectations, and waited for the results to be announced.
"The demonic tentacles that ranked third in the gladiatorial qualifying tournament. β
"What is it?" Mo Ye asked Xiao Qi for an answer in confusion, what is this strange name?
"There is no record on the Zerg Encyclopedia, maybe not a scientific name. β
The cheers from the audience reached another level, almost piercing the sky.
With the vigorous background music in the gladiatorial arena, another cylindrical platform was raised, and a hideous insect tribe with its limbs bound by chains appeared in front of everyone's eyes, although there were only three of them, but their appearance and body shape were already very frightening.
When he saw this zerg, Mo Ye immediately understood why it was called demonic tentacles, and there were small pimple-like tentacles all over his body, which looked like an enlarged version of a spoiled sea cucumber, and his gray-brown body was soft because of the mucus covering, which looked weirdly shiny.
The body is curled up by more than three meters, and it will only be longer when it unfolds.
It is held in the center of its body by a special metal chain, and it is silently motionless.
A giant circular light curtain over the center of the arena allows spectators not to miss any angle of detail.
"Let's get on the party"
With the excited shouts of the audience, the chains on the demon's tentacles were untied with a click.
On the other side, the iron-backed man on the high platform jumped off the high platform and ran wildly towards the edge of the gladiatorial arena, extremely fast.
"Quick, get the weapon. His roar was transmitted to the audience through a PA device.
At this time, the environment in the center of the gladiatorial arena has changed, and a large amount of water seeps out of the ground to turn the originally dry yellow sand on the field into mud, and the water level is constantly rising, until most of the area appears knee-deep mud pools, and the water is gushing out rapidly.
This created a great obstacle to the movement of human gladiators.
The demon's tentacles are very adapted to the muddy water environment, and the tentacles are retracted and inserted into the muddy water, and they drink a full mouthful.
The leading gladiator found a weapon rack on the edge of the battlefield, which was the reason why he ran for his life, and the weapon could only be found on the spot, and if he could not find it, he would have to fight hand-to-hand.
Pick up a hammer with wolf teeth poured over it.
The iron back carried the wolf's tooth hammer and wandered on the edge of the battlefield, and the demon's tentacles on the other side suddenly bounced up its body, and the originally curled up body suddenly stretched out more than twice as much, and the open mouthparts were full of sharp serrations, dripping with slime, and the huge body was as flexible as a snake.
"Roar"
A wild roar made the audience excited, "hit it"
"Tear it apart"
"Kill Him"
It was not known which side they were hoping for to win, and the shouting and shouting continued.
The tentacles reached out and grabbed the arm of a gladiator who was not fast enough to get a weapon, and the moment the tentacles touched the skin, blood came out, and the gladiator's arm swelled rapidly, and the meridians bulged one by one, and the whole person was like a balloon being blown up, constantly expanding.
Bang, the human skin balloon quickly exploded into a pile of scattered pieces, and the scene can be said to be very childlike, which should not affect the appetite.
The audience at the scene did not feel that there was a problem at all, but roared more excitedly.
Mo Ye could sense the excitement that rose from the bottom of their hearts, and the mental power fluctuation value was obviously beyond the ordinary level of activity.
The death of the first gladiator was only the beginning of a bloody show, and the demonic tentacles showed the amazing fighting power of the evil spirit.
The panicked rookie gladiator had no power to fight back, and in just one minute, three gladiators had already died.
"Victory is always accompanied by sacrifice, let us cheer for the fallen gladiators, who gave us wonderful performances with their lives, and we look forward to the remaining gladiators who can break out of the cocoon and become true warriors!"
The host's passionate voice once again brought the audience to a climax.
"They have a problem with mental fluctuations. β
"I don't know if there is a problem with mental power" Yan An clenched his hands, his knuckles turned white from the force, "But I can be sure that they have a problem with their brains, and there is also a problem with this ghost place, I don't know why that person is very excited." β
Yan An didn't know what to call his other personality, and he didn't want to admit that the guy who had harmed so many innocent people in Burgess was his split personality and belonged to him.
Mo Ye also noticed Yan An's changes, holding Yan An's wrist, and the magic output was endless.
"Here, the environment and the spiritual power of the group form a vicious circle, like a psychological suggestion, and the more time passes, the more often it is affected. β
Roaring and excited, the almost distorted faces occupied by irritated indifference almost made these viewers look even more hideous and terrifying than the Zerg warriors.
Mo Ye didn't understand why Mitchell specifically mentioned the gladiatorial arena and suggested that she must see it for herself, but now she understands.
These gladiatorial arenas are too suspicious, and in just a few years, it is difficult to cultivate ordinary citizens on a large scale into enthusiasts who are keen on bloody and brutal human and insect warfare.
When Mo Ye was distracted and thinking, there was another change on the field, and the gladiators, who had been pursued and killed, finally began to counterattack.
"Ah, die, you. A gladiator who had been bitten on the calf roared, and his body suddenly changed violently.
The audience erupted in loud cheers.
"It's changed. Yan An sat up straight, God knows how much this gladiatorial fight frightened him.
"It is likely that these people have taken M05 gene enhancement drugs, and there is no hint of taking inhibitors, and after a certain stimulation effect, they are stimulated in a short period of time. β
The gladiator's body has undergone drastic changes, and his combat power has soared in an instant, and the leg that was bitten has grown a sharp exoskeleton, sharp and tough like pincers.
Shengsheng cut a bloody hole in the big mouth of the demon's tentacles, and let out a howling sound.
Because the alienated battle scene of the gladiators was even more bloody and brutal to the point of being out of control, the scene once surpassed the large-scale violent game of the star network, and the shock brought by being present at the scene was a serious stimulation of the brain, and many teenage and immature young people in the audience of the dueling hall were also cheering and shouting.
The tone of the Weilan Empire's cultivation of the next generation is quite powerful.
"The birth of a warrior is always accompanied by blood. The host interjected from time to time to say a few words to maintain the high-spirited and enthusiastic atmosphere of the scene.
This was only the first game, and seven of the sixteen gladiators who appeared except for Ironback Statham died, and the remaining nine all activated the properties of the genetically enhancing potion when their lives were hanging by a thread.
After the death of the three demon tentacles, they also looked like they had lost their human form, and the fierce battle aroused their bloodthirsty and brutal desires.
Mo Ye noticed the clock countdown on the ring light curtain, there were no Zerg warriors, but there were still ten minutes left in the exhibition match, and these ten minutes couldn't be everyone standing in line to eat fruit.
Cannibalism is the highlight of the gladiatorial escape exhibition match.
A killing game full of cheers and shouts, bloody and brutal to the extreme, and finally there was only one living mouth in the gladiatorial arena ring except for the ironback Statham, and the trusted gladiator was awarded the title of warrior, and he was branded on the spot and officially became a gladiator.
The whole gladiatorial performance seemed to Mo Ye like a ridiculous and funny bloody game, and normal people couldn't do such a thing.
This is just a randomly selected planet, and a gladiatorial exhibition match that happened to be brutal to this point, God knows if the many planets in the vast territory of the Weilan Empire are all like this.
Mo Ye and Yan An left the gladiatorial arena, and they didn't plan to watch the rest of the events, the atmosphere in the arena was really weird, even Mo Ye's heartbeat couldn't control the acceleration, and he needed to give himself a clear light healing magic from time to time.
Those with ordinary mental strength will find it even more difficult to resist that kind of crazy group spiritual power in the general environment.
"The host mentioned the league, the selection of Jisai or something, it seems that such gladiatorial competitions are not a special case, and the industrial chain has been developed. β
Mo Ye noticed that there was no shortage of Zerg viewers in the audience, even if they couldn't see it on the surface, their mental power fluctuations had been exposed.
There must be a reason for the effect, and it is impossible for the Weilan Empire to do this just to develop emerging industries and make some ticket money or something.
At this time, what they saw was only the tip of the iceberg exposed by the Weilan Empire, which had already taken Mo Ye and Yan An by surprise, it was like a lake of closed stagnant water that began to rot and ferment and was unfathomable.
"What are we going to do next?" Yan An calmed his heartbeat and turned his head to look at Mo Ye.
Mo Ye squinted his eyes and exhaled, and said seriously, "Let's earn some living expenses first." β
