Chapter 40: The Demon Arena
Gu Chaoyue, who originally wanted to refuse, looked at the expectant and encouraging eyes of her daughter and grandson, and finally nodded slightly.
Gu Chaoyue's movements were very light, as if she was not used to it, and Gao Qiyun obviously also took into account her identity, and the competition was like playing, and she didn't even break a piece of land.
Gu Chaoyue found a lot of problems in Gu Chaoyue, she considered the words, and implicitly pointed out the defects of Gu Lanyue's cultivation: "My mother usually cultivates too little, her moves are not coherent enough, and some of the meridians are not very smooth...... And the actual combat is timid, and I can't let go of ......"
looked at Gu Chaoyue's original sparkling eyes, and slowly dimmed under her pointing out her shortcomings one by one. Gu Lanyi felt bad, and hurriedly comforted: "But these can be changed slowly!"
Gu Chaoyue's expression did not recover much because of her words, Gu Xiaotian looked at her face, and hurriedly coaxed her grandmother for her mother: "Grandma is already very powerful!
"Poof!" Gu Chaoyue couldn't help laughing.
Seeing that her mother's mood was eased a lot because of her son's innocence, but Gu Lanyi was still a little worried, she suddenly had an idea and put forward a suggestion: "Mother, why don't I take you to the actual battle?"
Gu Chaoyue hugged Gu Xiaotian, raised her eyes, and asked with some curiosity, "Where are you going?"
"My mother will come with me and find out. ”
Gu Lanyi specially sold a pass, and left the Gu Mansion with Gu Chaoyue and Gu Xiaotian, Gao Qiyun and Zhen Yi naturally followed, they vaguely guessed Gu Lanyi's purpose in their hearts, because only there was the most suitable.
In front of the largest magic arena in the imperial capital, there was a sea of people, and many sons and daughters of families came here in groups, so Gu Lanyi and his party did not look abrupt.
This is a place for Warcraft and Demon Pets to compete, and it is also a place for many people to practice and test their skills.
The Demon Arena was built into four floors, one of which was underground to hold and engage the Monsters, and the other three floors were built into private rooms and seats, forming a circle to ensure that every position could see the Monster Duel in the center of the ground floor.
This was originally one of the favorite places for the imperial capital people to spend their time, and today there are the sons and daughters of the eight families surnamed Chu, Yun and Ji to come to cheer, and many people rushed to watch in order to meet the powerful, so the seats around the lobby are full.
"I heard that you went to Gu Lanyi again yesterday?" A daughter of the Chu family said disdainfully to Yun Qingchen on the side: "After all, she is just an unmarried pregnant woman who knows no shame, Qingchen, for the sake of your reputation, it is better for you to stay away from her." ”
Yun Qingchen's originally indifferent face showed a sneer: "What am I doing, what do I have to do with you?"
After speaking, he bypassed the daughter mercilessly, walked towards a farther position, watched the fierce fight of the monsters in the arena intently, and left the eldest lady of the daughter in place, half dead with anger, and could no longer melt into the atmosphere of watching the game with great interest.
Gu Lanyi naturally had no way of knowing this conversation, she led her mother and son, and saw the crowded audience from a distance.
But she didn't care, she brought Gu Chaoyue here today, not so that she could watch the battle of the Warcraft.
She walked directly to the steward of the Demon Arena and said, "Give me a separate training room." ”
The steward listened to her young voice, and he didn't even raise his head: "The training room is in the innermost, go in by yourself." ”
The two men who came with Gu Lanyi suddenly looked cold, and the steward obviously didn't take them seriously.
Adhering to the principle of not wanting to make trouble, Gu Lanyi did not turn his face, but his tone was a little lighter. She thought about the magical beasts suitable for her mother in her mind, and soon got the best answer, and then explained to the steward: "Another second-level Swift Wind Deer." ”
Xu was frequently disturbed by Gu Lanyi, and the steward looked up with impatience on his face, looking at the inconspicuous costumes of a group of people, he didn't even bother to pretend to be perfunctory on the surface: "We have a low-level Warcraft here, the lowest level of Warcraft is a Level 5! If the guests can't deal with a Level 5 Warcraft, you might as well go to the wild and catch one yourself!"
As far as I know, there are almost all kinds of monsters and classes in the Demon Arena!
She doesn't understand where she is, the person in charge in front of her is clearly looking down on her!
This is the attitude towards guests?
Gu Lanyi's heart was on fire, but when she thought of business, she still suppressed her temper.
"But I heard that the Demon Arena is not available in all levels of demonic beasts?" Gu Lanyi said lightly, this tone was heard in the eyes of the steward, just as if she was a person who had never seen the world, which exacerbated the impatience in his eyes.
Indeed, there are various levels and types of magical beasts in the Demon Arena. But usually, when someone comes to the Demon Arena, who doesn't try to pick a high-level Demon Beast to fight, otherwise what's the point of view?
Too lazy to deal with the hillbilly in front of him, the mockery in the steward's tone was full of malice: "Yes, yes, but it doesn't mean that it's open to people like you! I can't afford a fifth-level demonic beast, so why don't you hurry up and go by yourself!"
Gu Lanyi was speechless, this was the first time she had met such a brainless steward since she returned to the imperial capital to open the Hundred Treasure Pavilion, and she actually mocked her for having no money, did she look so poor?
Gao Qiyun couldn't stand it anymore, when did his proprietress suffer from this kind of anger?
He arrogantly took out a large bag of gold coins and smashed them directly in front of the steward: "We don't have any money?
This scene is full of the momentum of the nouveau riche of the later generations, and the corners of Gu Lanyi's mouth twitched, but this posture is obviously perfect for dealing with the steward.
As soon as his eyes moved, the steward's expression changed instantly. Looking at the dark lines embroidered on the bag, what is it if it is not the logo of the Gu family?
As one of the eight major families of Yuncang Kingdom, the Gu family often has children who come to the Demon Arena, which makes the steward puzzled, he has never seen this person in front of him before.
Thinking that he might have offended the Gu family unconsciously, the steward was afraid for a while, and the disdain on his face suddenly turned into sincere fear, and he took out a bunch of keys again and handed them over: "Disrespectful and disrespectful, it turns out that Miss Gu is here, and this money is enough to charter a training ground, a few of you are invited." ”
As he spoke, he walked out from behind the counter, his attitude changing from his previous dismissiveness to that of being much more attentive.
Gu Lanyi is not a scheming person, especially since the main purpose of today is to test her own mother, she only frowned, and let the steward lead them to a spacious training room.
In order to make amends, the steward instructed his subordinates to pick up a swift wind deer with incomparable spirit, which finally made Gu Lanyi frown.
The steward wiped the sweat from his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief.
He knew all the quirks of the daughter of the son of the family, and since this was the case, it was normal to ask for a second-level Swift Wind Deer. He closed the door of the training room for the group, and fortunately Gu Lanyi didn't bother with him.
Gu Lanyi didn't have the heart to bother with him.
She knew that her mother was cowardly and timid, but what she didn't expect was that Gu Chaoyue faced the Swift Wind Deer who had just been sent into the training room, and her first reaction was to show a look of pity!
"Lanyi, this deer is really pitiful...... Gu Chaoyue didn't dare to start, she stared at the deer's wet eyes, and she couldn't persuade herself to try her hand at cultivation with this deer.
Speaking from the heart, the appearance of this Xunfeng deer is indeed quite cute, with plum spots and a pair of smooth branch-like horns, all of which show its vitality, cuteness and agility.
But such a deer, if ordinary people encounter it in the wild, it will never be able to avoid being disemboweled!
With a sigh in his heart, Gu Lanyi said: "Mother, this Swift Wind Deer is a second-level demonic beast, don't look cute, ordinary people can't beat it at all." That's why he was arrested in the Demon Arena, and there is nothing to pity. ”
But no matter what she said, Gu Chaoyue just couldn't persuade her to do it herself.
It's no wonder that for so many years, she hasn't even killed a chicken, and it is very difficult for her to suddenly kill a cute fawn in front of her.
Compassion is the most useless in battle.
No one will let go of the enemy because of pity, Gu Chaoyue's indecisive move made Gu Lanyi have a headache again, and he was a little angry.
A pair of beautiful eyes were full of helplessness, Gu Lanyi pursed his rosy lips, his index finger moved slightly towards the demonic beast, and a little spiritual light instantly popped out like a needle, just shooting the tail of the swift wind deer.
The same is true when the Demon Arena captures the Demon Beast, using the drug to stun the Demon Beast and ensure its spirit. This demonic beast was already a little wise, and the current means of taking care of the clothes were not much different from the means of capturing it, and the originally docile Swift Wind Deer instantly exposed its brutal nature.
It rushed in the direction of Gu Lanyi and Gu Chaoyue!
"Mother, do it!" Seeing Gu Chaoyue staring at the afterimage of the Xunfeng Deer in the air, Gu Lanyi scolded angrily, and the woman gritted her teeth before she had to raise her dagger.
"Grandma, come on!" Gu Xiaotian stood in the safety zone, his voice was full of worry, he knew that his mother's actions were for his grandmother's good, so he could only cheer loudly for his grandmother.
Even though he was forced to make a move, Gu Chaoyue's actions were still merciful. To her surprise, this mercy of his subordinates actually made Xunfeng Deer almost hurt her!
If Gu Lanyi hadn't taken advantage of the last opportunity to resolve this crisis, I'm afraid she would have been seriously injured.
Gu Chaoyue felt guilty to the extreme, as a mother, she actually needed her daughter's protection! She mustered up the courage to fight with the Swift Wind Deer again, and the smooth horns of the demonic beast cut a few small scars on her body, but not only did she not flinch, but became more and more frustrated!
The last roar of the monster sounded, and the sturdy body of the Swift Wind Deer had already fallen to the ground. After the heavy object landed, a layer of dust was raised on the ground, and then warm blood flowed rapidly from the neck of the Swift Wind Deer.
Gu Chaoyue was panting, the dagger in her hand was bloody, but her eyes were bright.
She finally did it, and in the future, at least she won't be a burden to her daughter!
Gu Lanyi hugged Gu Chaoyue's shoulder, comforted and encouraged softly, and the mother and daughter looked at each other and smiled.
Just take the first step, and the rest will be easy.
Gu Lanyi also asked the staff of the Demon Arena to get some second-level demonic beasts, all of which were the safest, and made Gu Chaoyue lose the actual battle one by one, and she was by the side to protect it from happening.
