Chapter 67: A Familiar Figure!
Under Qin Yun's blockade, the news that Ye Chen had become a third-level Yuan Array Master was not publicized, Blackwater City was the largest city in the Ancient Moon Kingdom, there were many people, and it was not surprising that there were disciples of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect.
For the sake of safety, Qin Yun also helped Ye Chen fabricate a large number of identity details, even if someone noticed Ye Chen, they would be dragged in the wrong direction because of the fabricated information, which can be described as well-intentioned.
For all this, Ye Chen saw it in his eyes, and in order to thank Qin Yun, he taught the arrangement techniques of the Ancient Yuan Array, and at the same time, he was also a teacher and friend to Lin Changtian, giving him a lot of guidance.
Today, Ye Chen accompanied Lin Changtian and the others to a hidden place in Blackwater City.
The towering wall obscured the view, and in front of Ye Chen, it was a mysterious small city, with many warriors coming and going, and the atmosphere was noisy, as if he had come to another world.
It's a city within a city.
"Let's go inside. ”
Lin Changtian turned his head and said a word, stepped out, and walked towards the gate of the city within the city.
Several people at the city gate saw Lin Changtian coming over, and immediately bowed their heads respectfully, the Lin family is a well-deserved number one family in Blackwater City, coupled with the relationship between the Yuan Array Master Guild, even the lord of the Guyue Country has to treat each other with courtesy.
Soon, the two of them walked into the gate, and what appeared in Ye Chen's field of vision was a huge square, and everywhere they could see, there were dense crowds.
"This is the trading area?"
Ye Chen's pupils shrank for a while, this square is several miles long and wide, there are countless pavilions in it, and there are tens of thousands of stalls.
"This is the black market in Blackwater City, as long as it is something you want to buy, you can find it here, I have heard that someone bought a heaven-level spirit treasure here, and since then he has risen to the top and become a super powerhouse, as for whether this rumor is true, it is already unknown, but Taobao is still a thing that everyone enjoys. ”
Lin Changtian seemed to be extremely familiar with this place, and took Ye Chen through each area, but whenever he saw Lin Changtian's stall owner, he smiled enthusiastically and was extremely respectful.
"Sister. ”
At this moment, Lin Changtian saw a familiar figure and walked over quickly.
The figure is a delicate woman in a long blue dress, her waist is less than a hand, and between the lotus steps, swaying in the wind, attracting countless hot eyes.
When she turned her head, her gaze sank: "Why are you here?"
This person Ye Chen knows, and he knows him very well, it is Lin Chuxue.
"What, sister, do you know Xiao Chen?" Lin Changtian wondered.
"There was a one-sided relationship, but it wasn't an acquaintance. Lin Chuxue said with a smile: "Changtian, I won't stop you from making friends, but there are some arrogant people, you'd better stay away, so as not to cause a commotion." ”
Feeling the indifference in Lin Chuxue's tone, Ye Chen smiled lightly: "My person's code of conduct is very simple, don't cause trouble when you have nothing to do, and don't be afraid of things when you come to things, you should know this better than anyone else." ”
Lin Changtian looked at the two of them, and felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere, so he immediately stopped between the two and said, "Sister, I still want to take Xiao Chen to the gladiatorial arena for a walk, let's go first." ”
"Stop!" Lin Chuxue glanced at Ye Chen fiercely, and said coldly: "I don't worry about you being with this guy, it just so happens that I also want to go to the gladiatorial arena for a visit, let's go together." ”
In Lin Chuxue's words, Lin Changtian almost didn't have to resist, and glanced at Ye Chen with a wry smile, Ye Chen said, "Whatever." ”
The three of them walked together, and under the envious gaze of countless people, they walked to the depths of the city within the city.
About half an hour later, Ye Chen came to a cone-shaped building, stepped in, the area inside was very wide, it was divided into independent areas, a martial arts ring was placed in the center of the area, and there were many stairs around it, which seemed to be specially for others to watch.
"Xiao Chen, this is the gladiatorial arena, the entire gladiatorial arena is divided into seventy-two areas, in other words, every minute and every second here, there are seventy-two duels at the same time, and the crowd of spectators alone has reached hundreds of thousands. Xiao Chen pointed to the endless sea of people in front of him and said in a low voice.
"Hundreds of thousands?"
Ye Chen was secretly speechless, if you count the number of people in the trading area, there are probably no less than a million people in the entire city, which is worthy of being the largest city in the Guyue Kingdom, and it really deserves its reputation.
Finding a few places to sit down, Ye Chen faintly saw the scene in the ring.
In the ring, there was a huge iron cage, in the iron cage, there were two men constantly flashing, their bodies were scarred, blood stained the whole ground, but they didn't seem to know the pain, still fought to the death, in the end, one man cut the throat of the other man, and won the victory.
"Every ring in the gladiatorial arena is another world, as long as you enter it, you will either come out alive or be killed and carried out, so the gladiatorial arena is also called the arena of life and death, and hundreds of people have to die here almost every day. ”
Lin Chuxue suddenly said aloud, as if there was a bit of confusion in her eyes.
"But as long as our Lin family, when they become adults, they must go to the gladiatorial arena to experience ten days, when my sister entered the gladiatorial arena, she created a record of 35 consecutive victories, and no one has been able to break it so far. Lin Changtian explained on the side.
Ye Chen's eyes froze, he didn't expect that this Lin Chuxue, who looked extremely delicate, was actually a strong man who had been trained between life and death, no wonder no one dared to raise a bar with him in the restaurant at the beginning.
Except, of course, leaf dust.
"What are the specific rules of the gladiatorial arena?" Ye Chen asked, he seemed to see that there were still people fighting fiercely with fierce beasts in the ring.
"The gladiatorial arena is divided into three modes, man and man, man and beast, beast and beast, you can challenge the opponent who is ready for the gladiatorial arena, you can also choose your own opponent, and you can even make an appointment with others to fight in the ring, of course, the strength of the two sides must be very different, otherwise, the gladiatorial fight is meaningless. Lin Changtian explained to Ye Chen.
As he spoke, a group of handcuffed and footcuffed figures walked in from the back of the gladiatorial arena, among them there were men and women, and their ages were not uniform, the youngest was only ten years old, and he was still a teenager.
"These are the warriors provided by the gladiatorial arena, some of them are criminals who have committed the death penalty, some are poor people who are trying to make a living, and some are slaves raised by their families, all kinds of things, but their fate is usually not optimistic, you know what I mean. ”
Ye Chen nodded slightly, like this kind of martial artist provided by the gladiatorial arena, even if he wins, he will be challenged by more people later, and when he is exhausted, it is the moment when death comes.
Therefore, ninety percent of the warriors who die in the gladiatorial arena every day are composed of these people.
"What kind of wind is blowing today, actually blowing Sister Chuxue here?"
At this moment, a strange voice of yin and yang came from not far behind him.
Ye Chen's eyes turned and looked at the side behind them, only to see a group of young men in brocade robes walking over, the corners of their mouths were all a little arrogant, looking down at everyone, high up.
"Bai Yudong?"
Ye Chen raised his eyebrows, and among this group of young people, he actually saw an extremely familiar figure.
