Chapter 175: The Adventure of Stealing Medicine (Part II)
Before the start of the second round of gladiatorial fighting, the eight gladiators who had advanced entered the arena en masse.
Seeing the costumes of the eight gladiators clearly, Chu Tianjiang found that the promoted gladiators not only obtained the opponent's protective gear, but also could use the opponent's weapon. For example, the spear fighter who was the first to advance wore the opponent's heart armor, and a Thracian gladiator changed to the opponent's curved shield.
Although the second round of duels was even more exciting, each one lasted more than fifteen minutes, and most of the winners were covered in bruises, Chu Tianjiang was still interested. In contrast, the VIPs who had placed their bets on these eight gladiators were extremely excited.
In the third duel, the two-sword gladiator, who was not very burly, was extremely well-proportioned, and always had a smile on his lips, which could be described as "sexy", was the only highlight. After several minutes of onslaught, he pushed his opponent to the edge of the circle, forced his opponent into the barbed wire with a double leg kick, and chopped his opponent's head with a beautiful double sword choke as he was bounced off by the barbed wire. The whole attack was carried out in one go, without the slightest drag. When the blood of the deceased was splattered into several nearby private rooms, the atmosphere in the stadium was completely detonated. Those are more like taking aphrodisiacs, and they have shown their love to the double-sword gladiators.
It was only in this scene that Chu Tianjiang concentrated his energy.
"Mr. Yan, how is it?"
"This guy has some skills, but even if he can become the ultimate warrior, he is not the opponent of the Dark Devil, at least in the current situation, it is impossible to defeat the Dark Devil."
"Really?"
Chu Tianjiang smiled and said, "He has six sword wounds on his body, two of which are more serious. Next, there will be two more fights, and maybe a few more wounds. By the time he became the ultimate warrior, four duels and injuries had already consumed more than half of his physical strength. With his skills, he is qualified to compete with the Dark Devil. But challenging the Black Devil in his current state is tantamount to killing himself. ”
Campbell smiled reluctantly and didn't say anything more.
"In fact, even if he hadn't been injured, the chances of defeating the Dark Devil were extremely slim. Through the first four duels, the Dark Devil already knew his fighting skills, but he didn't know anything about the Black Devil. If you don't even know your opponent's fighting skills, how can you defeat your opponent? ”
"Mr. Yan, are you really a martial arts master?" Nichole asked deliberately.
Chu Tianjiang smiled and said, "What, do you think I'm bragging?" ”
"So, you're better than that two-sword gladiator?"
"He? It's almost the same as being my sparring partner, and I'm afraid I won't be able to last even a minute. ”
As soon as Chu Tianjiang said this, Campbell's face was not very good-looking. Of the sixteen gladiators, the Gladiator with Two Swords was personally selected by Campbell and was the predetermined hero challenger. In addition, Chu Tianjiang began to clearly mention that the Twin Sword Gladiator was qualified to challenge the Black Devil under normal circumstances, but he couldn't even hold out for a minute in front of him. The implication is that he doesn't take the black devil seriously.
Although last night, Campbell knew that Chu Tianjiang was arrogant, but if he didn't take the black devil in his eyes, he might not be too arrogant.
After the second round, there was only a fifteen-minute rest, and the third round of duels began.
As Chu Tianjiang expected, the Twin Sword Gladiator won again, and three more wounds were added to his body. Previously, the spear fighter who had come out first had also won the game, only his condition was worse, with more than a dozen wounds on his body, and five of them were more serious.
This time, there is no rest and it goes straight to the battle of the ultimate warriors.
Obviously, the situation was extremely unfavorable to the Twin Sword Gladiator, as he entered the Ultimate Warrior Battle immediately after the third duel, and the Spear Fighter rested for more than ten minutes.
In addition, the difference in strength between the two is too great.
The spear fighter was nearly two meters tall and weighed more than two hundred and forty pounds, while the two-sword gladiator was only one meter eighty-five and weighed only one hundred and seventy pounds at most.
Although gladiatorial fighting is not like boxing, the ability to use a weapon is more important than weight, but to get the most out of a weapon, you need to have enough physical fitness. In addition, in the sparring, the amount of power is still very important. I don't have enough strength to even parry and resist.
Fortunately, the spear fighter did not change his weapon and still used a spear.
If the spear fighter is replaced with a short weapon, such as the short sword and curved shield of the fish fighter, he can defeat the two-sword gladiator with the advantage of strength and strength, even if he lacks skill. You must know that short weapons such as short swords are fought for strength, and the requirements for skill are not too high. On the contrary, long weapons such as spears, because of their limitations in hand-to-hand combat, must be kept as far away from the opponent as possible, and the requirements for skill are higher.
Spear fighters are burly and powerful, and a spear is definitely not an ideal weapon.
The double-sword gladiator was very smart, unlike the previous three duels, he did not take the initiative to attack, but defended first, making full use of the advantage of physical flexibility, even if he had to resist the spear that stabbed, he mainly used to provoke, pluck, turn, tease and other ways to borrow strength to fight, and never hit hard.
After a few minutes, the spear fighter swung his spear at a significant slowdown.
Interestingly, the Twin Sword Gladiator did not take advantage of the ****, but continued to focus on defense. It is only when the spear fighter retreats that he takes the initiative to approach, forcing the spear fighter to continue the attack, and he immediately switches to defense, so that the spear fighter cannot breathe, and therefore cannot recover his strength.
It's a very clever way to play.
This situation lasted for nearly twenty minutes, and only when the spear fighter's pace became disheveled did the two-sword gladiator launch a fierce attack.
If you don't move, it's enough, and it's like thunder!
The process of dying, less than five seconds. The first round of attacks of the Twin Sword Gladiator, the target is not the spear fighter, but the spear in the hand of the spear fighter. In order to increase his strength, the Twin Sword Gladiator not only unveiled his two swords, but also turned around in the air, pressing all the weight of his body up, and with the help of the force generated by rotation. The twin swords slashed hard, and the spears were out of their hands. The Gladiator of the Two Swords, whose feet had just landed, rose into the air again, unleashing his trademark double-leg kick. Although the spear fighter reacted quickly, raised his left hand to protect his chest with a small round shield, and reached out to pull out the dagger in the small round shield, the speed of the two-sword gladiator was faster, and before the spear fighter could pull out the dagger, his feet had already kicked the small round shield. The spear fighter seemed to be extremely confident in the strength of the force, and did not back down, and stubbornly caught the heavy kick of the two-sword gladiator. However, the spear fighter overestimated his strength, or underestimated the strength of the heavy kick with his feet, and staggered back again and again. The Gladiator of the Two Swords did not miss the opportunity to kill with one blow, and after kicking the spear fighter, he jumped up with both hands on the ground, and then jumped from the ground again. The spear fighter had just taken three steps back, and the two short swords were already in front of his chest. Before the spear fighter could react, two short swords pierced through his chest.
When the spear fighter fell, he was already a lifeless corpse.
Killing the spear fighter, the two-sword gladiator was wounded again, that is, at the last moment, the left arm was cut by the spear fighter's dagger with a deep wound that could be seen to the bone.
After a moment of silence, the arena boiled.
The guests who bet on the Gladiator of the Two Swords were excited, but the biggest winner was Campbell.
Because of the small stature of the Gladiator of the Two Swords, less than one-fiftieth of the dignitaries placed their bets on him. And his odds are only twenty.
Chu Tianjiang made a rough calculation, and Campbell earned about two thousand pounds of gold.
The Battle of the Heroes will begin in half an hour, where the gladiators of the Two Swords will treat their wounds and regain their strength, and the VIPs will re-bet during this time.
The Dark Devil has odds of just one point, while the Gladiator of the Two Swords has odds of six.
"Mr. Yan, are you interested now?"
Chu Tianjiang smiled and said, "It's really exciting, I'm also a little itchy, the problem is, I don't have gold, only the voucher I won last night." ”
"It's easy to say, it can be converted according to the market price."
"Market price?"
"Now on the black market, an ounce of gold sells for two thousand vouchers."
"So, 1.8 billion is equivalent to three tons of gold?"
Campbell was taken aback and said, "Mr. Yan plans to bet all 1.8 billion?" ”
Chu Tianjiang smiled and said, "Of course not." I'll have to spend some time in New York, and I can't trade my gold for groceries. Besides, everyone knows that the value of the vouchers has been depreciating, and the price of gold is one day a day, and real money and silver are much stronger than those government-printed waste paper. If you really want to do this, wouldn't that be a big loss for Mr. Campbell? I've never liked to take advantage of others. ”
"Mr. Yan is so proud that Campbell has to admire. Just ......"
"A ton, how's that?"
"This ......"
Chu Tianjiang smiled and said, "I definitely won't let Mr. Campbell suffer." This is a profitable business, and doing business is about a win-win situation for both parties. If Mr. Campbell suffers a big loss, what will he do in the future? I mean, why not open one more market and make us all profitable? ”
"Mr. Yan means ......"
"After the battle of heroes, I fought the battle of the demon king with the winner. If you open another handicap, no one will bet on me at that time. ”
Campbell's brows jumped a few times and said, "Mr. Yan is so confident? ”
Chu Tianjiang smiled and said, "Mr. Campbell, this is a good thing to make money together. I believe that Mr. Campbell has more confidence in gold. ”
"This ......"
Chu Tianjiang didn't say anything more, he had already said enough.
Campbell pondered for a while and said, "Mr. Yan is indeed clever, and there is no one who doesn't like gold. Just follow your proposal and arrange the battle of the Demon King later. ”
"It's just, there's got to be an explanation."
"What's that?"
"If I am left behind, and I win by myself, and I am invited by myself, I will inevitably end up gossiping, and I am afraid it will be difficult to arouse the interest of others."
Campbell smiled and said, "This is not a problem, we bet privately and do not participate in the market." ”
"So, on what grounds do I challenge me?"
"This ......"
"Of course, money is a small thing, I won enough last night, and I don't love money, I love gambling, wine and beautiful women."
Campbell was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "In this case, the reward of the Battle of Heroes will be staked to the bottom." As long as you win the battle of the Demon King, all the rewards will go to Mr. Yan. ”
"Mr. Campbell, you're being too stingy."
"This ......"
"There are more girls like that." Chu Tianjiang hugged Nicol, "There is one by my side, it's not worth it to work hard for a girl." ”
Campbell laughed and said, "Mr. Yan's precious body, of course, you can't work hard for a girl. ”
"Well, I'm not greedy." Chu Tianjiang smiled and said, "If I win, you have to give me half of the wine in the cellar." ”
"Half won't do, a cart of whiskey, brandy, vodka and rum, how about it?"
"Arrange the vehicle for me?"
Campbell smiled and said, "Okay, just a truck with a load of less than ten tons." ”
Chu Tianjiang also laughed loudly, and Campbell laughed even more happily. In his opinion, Chu Tianjiang is not only a wild man, but also an insatiable guy, and he knows how to calculate. It is important to know that wine is a price a day, especially all kinds of spirits, and the price rate is even higher than that of gold. The reason for this is that spirits are made by modern distillation techniques, and without electricity, spirits cannot be produced.
Campbell instructed Judith to arrange the battle of the Demon King.
