Following Judith, Chu Tianjiang and the others entered a dark and narrow corridor.

Nichol has been clinging to Chu Tianjiang all the time, and deliberately slowed down his pace to keep Chu Tianjiang and Judith at a distance, probably for fear of being plotted.

"I'm here, don't be afraid." Chu Tianjiang pinched Nicole's fragrant shoulder.

Encouraged, Nichol quickened his pace and did not deliberately distance himself from Judith.

Although the light was dim, Chu Tianjiang could see very clearly, this was just a corridor, there was no ambush of swords and axes, and there were no killing traps.

After a half-circle, Judith stopped and pushed open a small door hidden within the wall.

When I walked in, it turned out to be a luxury private room with two floors and an area of more than 100 square meters, and it was certainly the only luxury private room, because Campbell was in it.

"Mr. Yan, please forgive me for the inconsiderate hospitality."

"Mr. Campbell is so polite, I am afraid that I am the only one who can be specially invited by Mr. Campbell and watch in the same room?"

"That's true. Mr. Yan, you may be seated. Want to drink something? ”

Chu Tianjiang was not polite, and sat on the sofa with the best position. "It's fine, but the more the merrier."

Outside, it is a stadium similar to a basketball court, except that the central arena is enclosed with a wire cage, surrounded by private rooms separated by wooden planks and distinct steps, but the area of each private room is about 20 square meters, and the angle is not ideal.

"Mr. Yan has a lot, I really admire it." Campbell smiled, and without hesitation, Judith took out a bottle of aged whiskey from the closet in the private room.

Chu Tianjiang didn't know what the origin of this bottle of wine was, but it had a thick and cold taste, and it must be a good wine.

"Mr. Yan, how is this wine?"

"Mr. Campbell, I'm not afraid of your jokes, I'm a lover of spirits, but I don't know how to taste wine, I just know if it's strong enough." Chu Tianjiang smiled and said, "This wine is strong enough, but it is only strong enough, and it is not the strongest wine I have ever drunk, at most it can only be regarded as second-class." ”

"Second class?"

Chu Tianjiang picked up his wine glass and drank it all in one go. "That's right, it's only second-class at best."

"What kind of wine is that?"

"Fifty years of cellaring Moutai." Chu Tianjiang was making nonsense, but he believed that Campbell had not drunk "Moutai that had been cellared for fifty years" because there was no such thing at all.

"Moutai is indeed a good wine, and it is full of stamina, but it has been cellared for fifty years......"

"That kind of wine, it's hard to find, I've only drunk it once, less than half a bottle, and I almost got drunk."

"Oh?"

"It's not like that, I'm not drunk yet. Just that time, if you drink the whole bottle, you will definitely get drunk. ”

Campbell looked at Chu Tianjiang suspiciously, and he wasn't sure if Chu Tianjiang was bragging. You must know that Chu Tianjiang drank four bottles of spirits in one go last night, which is equivalent to a full liter of pure alcohol according to the alcohol content, while a bottle of Moutai is only 500 milliliters. Chu Tianjiang was able to drink a liter of pure alcohol without getting drunk, even if it was not Moutai, but pure alcohol, it was impossible for him to get drunk.

Finding that the cowhide was about to burst, Chu Tianjiang said with a smile: "Mr. Campbell, the seasonings are ready, it's time for a big meal, right?" ”

"Mr. Yan is quick to talk, and the big meal will be coming soon." Campbell laughed, and didn't care if Chu Tianjiang was bragging at first. "Mr. Yan, how much do you know about the ancient Roman Empire?"

"This ...... I'm afraid of your jokes when I say it, I appreciate the Qin Empire more. ”

"The Qin Empire and the Roman Empire are both great, but today's feast is related to the Roman Empire."

"Really?"

Campbell smiled slightly, got up and walked to the fence of the private room, pressed his hand, and the noisy venue suddenly fell silent.

At this time, Zhang Xiaogang, who was sitting in the back, pushed Chu Tianjiang's shoulder. Chu Tianjiang nodded, indicating that he understood what Zhang Xiaogang meant.

"Everyone! The Roman Empire created a glorious civilization and was the birthplace of Western civilization. More than 2,000 years ago, the Roman Empire defeated Carthage and unified the entire Mediterranean region, and also made expeditions to the valley of the two rivers and the eastern shore of the Black Sea, covering the largest country in the world today. After a pause, Campbell said, "During the most glorious centuries of the Roman Empire, Roman legions conquered most of the world with short swords, javelins, and shields. Compared with today, it was an era of advocating strength and strength, taking pride in conquest and killing, and an era of the strong. Today we will repeat this era, killing and conquering with strength and sword, so that the strong can enjoy the honor of victory! ”

Bullshit is not as good as honor! Chu Tianjiang cursed secretly in his heart.

"Now, our warriors are invited!"

The iron doors on the left and right sides of the stadium opened, and the eight members of each team only wrapped a fig leaf around their waists, and the "gladiators" with various cold weapons walked out one after another, entered the central arena through the passage separated from the stands by barbed wire, and spread out to the left and right to form two horizontal lines.

Although the sixteen gladiators were of varying heights, they were all strong.

Chu Tianjiang himself was a master of martial arts, and it was clear at a glance that the sixteen gladiators had undergone rigorous training, and they all used handy weapons.

In terms of combat ability alone, they are not under any special forces.

It is important to know that the main weapons of special forces are all kinds of firearms and explosive devices, and they will only fight the enemy as a last resort.

After the sixteen gladiators entered, each brandishing his weapon, some roaring loudly, some doing warm-up exercises, and two gladiators using short swords and scimitars, all trying to attract the attention of the audience. It's just that the originally noisy venue was unusually quiet, and hundreds of excited VIPs did not cheer for the gladiators, as if they were waiting for a more exciting scene.

"These sixteen warriors come from all over the world, and they are all the best martial artists in the region. Only, can they become demon slaying heroes? ”

"Can't ......" a few VIPs shouted, but not loud enough.

"What, I can't hear you, be louder!"

"Can't—" Led by Campbell, almost all the VIPs shouted.

Campbell laughed and said, "Not necessarily. Now, please enter the 'Black Devil'! ”

The lights gathered in the center of the arena suddenly went out, and then the light from the four corners converged over the arena, and a platform slowly descended.

It's just that the lights are always under the platform, and you can only vaguely see a person standing on the platform.

At this time, Nichol leaned into Chu Tianjiang's ear and whispered, "The Black Devil is Campbell's subordinate, and countless people have been killed by him. ”

Chu Tianjiang smiled faintly, he had already seen the appearance of the black devil clearly.

Just by name, the "black devil" is supposed to be a black man, and he is burly and strong, but in fact, on the contrary, the black devil is not only not black, but also not strong. The origin of this name is most likely related to the fact that he wears a black bodysuit, a black mask and a black scabbard on his back.

The platform descends to the level of the spotlights, and the iron cage that envelops the central arena opens from the top.

At this time, the light also hit the black devil.

After seeing it clearly, Chu Tianjiang was secretly startled, and immediately asked in a low voice, "The black devil is a woman?" ”

"No, but it's not a man."

"What?"

"He used to be a man, but not anymore."

Chu Tianjiang was stunned again, and then understood what Nichol meant. The Black Devil turned out to be a eunuch!

"Don't underestimate him. This event is held once a month, and only one person survives each time, and then takes on the Ultimate Warrior Challenge the next month to win the Hero Crown and receive a special title. The Dark Devil has already won eleven times, and if he wins again this time, it will be a year. ”

"So, first, sixteen warriors will fight in gladiatorial battles to choose the ultimate warrior?"

Nichole nodded, indicating that this was what he meant.

Chu Tianjiang smiled and said, "Before fighting the Black Devil, the Ultimate Warrior had already fought four battles, and his physical strength was seriously consumed, so it was not easy to defeat the Black Devil. ”

"Not really."

"Oh?"

"After the gladiatorial fight, the ultimate warrior can rest for half an hour, and as long as he brings it up, he can use stimulant drugs to regain his strength."

"What's the use of using drugs, once the effect of the medicine is over, the death will be even worse."

Nichol smiled and said, "In the previous ten hero fights, none of the Black Devils lasted more than five minutes, and the effect of the medicine would last for half an hour. ”

"Do you like this eunuch?"

"I only like real men." Nicol reached out and touched Chu Tianjiang's chest, and then slid it down to Chu Tianjiang's lower abdomen.

Chu Tianjiang laughed and grabbed the skillful hand that was about to slip into the crotch of his pants.

At this time, the black devil entered the arena, the platform was raised, and the iron cage was closed again. There was thunderous applause and cheers in the venue, and some female guests and female entourages climbed onto the guardrail of the private room, screaming loudly at the black devil, and some even pulled out their corsets and underwear and threw them at the black devil.

Chu Tianjiang couldn't understand that those were actually angry with a eunuch! Could it be that the black devil has no life, and can use other parts to satisfy women?

"Quiet!" Campbell pressed his hand, and the arena immediately fell silent. "This is a battlefield for warriors to show their strength, and it is also a battlefield for warriors to win their hearts. Only the ultimate warrior has a chance to challenge the dark devil and rescue the beautiful princess. If she fails, the poor princess will be poisoned. Now, let the princess play! ”

In the venue, the VIPs were excited, and the girls began to cheer.

It turned out to be a hero saving beauty! Chu Tianjiang couldn't understand this unbelievable arrangement, and even Zhang Xiaogang, who was sitting in the back, smiled bitterly.

The platform was lowered again, only there was an extra cage on it, and in the cage was a naked beauty wrapped in a white cloth.

It's her! Seeing the man's face clearly, Chu Tianjiang immediately frowned. Seeing Campbell turn around, Chu Tianjiang immediately stretched his face and regained his composure.

After a while, the lights hit the platform.

"Ahh Apparently, she struggled to keep it from screaming.

In the cage, it was Maya who was chained hand and foot!

Nicole's reaction once again confirmed that she was a "flower butterfly".

Chu Tianjiang's heart turned over the river and the sea, but his face was extremely calm. He hugged Nichol's shoulder and gently squeezed it a few times to keep Nichole from crying.

What exactly does Campbell want to do?

Maya fell into his hands, did other "flower butterflies" also suffer accidents? Was this arrangement intentional or just a coincidence? If the Ultimate Champion loses to the Dark Devil, will Maya be murdered? How will Nicol react and what will he do?

In the blink of an eye, countless thoughts appeared in Chu Tianjiang's mind.

Looking at Maya's appearance, the gunshot wound on her body has not healed yet. Perhaps, she was found in the place where she was recuperating from her injuries, and the other "flower butterflies" fled.

Campbell must have known that the Nightclub was attacked by the Flower Butterfly, so he executed Maya in this way after he caught her.

Nichole will not watch Maya die tragically, and will definitely go out of his way to save Maya.

It is possible to knock Nicol unconscious and take her away. But after Nichol woke up, he would definitely not forgive Chu Tianjiang, and would even hate Chu Tianjiang. If he rescued Maya, he would definitely arouse Campbell's suspicions, and let Campbell know that Chu Tianjiang was related to the "flower butterfly".

What to do?

Chu Tianjiang was not afraid of being hated by Nicol, but he couldn't pass his own level. He saved Maya once, would he watch Maya die?

If Chu Tianjiang had been ruthless, he would not have saved Maya two days ago.

The only way to save Maya without being suspected by Campbell is to create an opportunity to challenge the Dark Devil and then defeat the Dark Devil.

The question is, on what grounds to challenge the Dark Devil?

Chu Tianjiang let out a sigh and made up his mind, but he hadn't figured out a way yet.

At this time, Zhang Xiaogang coughed lightly twice. Of course, Chu Tianjiang knew what Zhang Xiaogang meant, but he didn't want to see Nichol's sad appearance, let alone let Maya die miserably!

"Guys, fifteen minutes later. Now, bet on your favorite warriors and on the Hero Crown! ”

Chu Tianjiang's brows jumped a few times, the gladiatorial fight was just a means, Campbell's real purpose was to collect money, that is, to open a handicap for VIPs to gamble.

It's all about the money!

Thinking of this, Chu Tianjiang knew in his heart. At least in Campbell's eyes, he is a money-hungry person, otherwise he wouldn't have risked opening the casino last night to kill five parties twice, and let him sweep away the game while knowing that Campbell was the boss.

As long as it's about money, it's easy to do.

After thinking about it, Chu Tianjiang didn't think about it anymore and quickly calmed down.

Although the Black Devil is Campbell's subordinate and is likely to have superpowers, Chu Tianjiang has absolute confidence to defeat him, and what is lacking is only a set of reasonable arguments.

How can I say that Chu Tianjiang can go out to challenge the black devil and not be suspected by Campbell?

When the VIPs were betting one after another, Chu Tianjiang found a wonderful reason.
