Chapter 148: New Title: Bone Crusher
The underground arena of Capua City, just like the black market boxing tournament in later generations, has a high prize money, and after entering the arena, you must distinguish between life and death, and there are really no rules other than that.
The playing field here is very simple, with all kinds of foul smells, some yellow sand on the ground, and dozens of bodies of undefeated contestants can be seen hanging in the air under the reflection of torches.
There were no fences in the ring, and countless mad Romans, spurred on by blood and death, surrounded them, waving their bet lists and shouting hoarsely, cheering for their favored gladiators.
All the contestants were treated like brutes and locked in a sturdy iron cage, where Li Nan and Spartacus also stood in the cage to watch the battle.
Quintus sent Kozzi out to test the waters first, but the slightly chubby guy was out of luck.
As is customary in the Underground Arena, weapons are drawn at random at the start of the match, and he is given a short dagger, while his opponent, Ixion the Skinner, known as the No. 1 Mad Gladiator of the Underground, draws a long-handled hammer.
In the case of similar martial arts, there is a theory that an inch is long and an inch is strong, not to mention Ixion the Skinner, who wears a dead man's skin on his face, is tall and muscular, and is very good at wielding a war hammer.
Seven or eight rounds later, Ke Ze, who couldn't dodge, was hit the head.
Poor Kozé fell to his knees in a daze, and the ruthless skinner Ixion showed no mercy, and with the encouragement of the audience, he let out a loud cry and raised a huge war hammer to slam his head.
The hammer hit the head and made a penetrating bone cracking sound, and Kozé's blood burst out from the seven orifices and splashed on the Romans who were watching, the bloody and cruel scene made these people scream excitedly, and even some men and women were stimulated to make love on the spot.
After being smashed seven or eight times, Ke Ze was hit in one eye, and he hung disgustingly on his face, at this time he had completely lost his combat effectiveness, and it seemed that he was only one breath away from death, but in this cruel underground arena, this battle was not over.
Seeing Ixion the Skinner walking towards Kozé, the spectators shouted as if they were crazy: "Skin! Peel! ”
Ixion the Skinner did not disappoint the crowd, he threw away his massive hammer, took out a knife and stabbed it in the forehead and swiped it in a circle, then dragged his entire face off alive.
"Ahh Ixion raised the Kozé in his hand and snarled.
The audience shouted in unison, "Skinner! ”
The guards of the underground arena stepped up and hooked the bloody Koze with an iron hook, dragging him down, hanging him in the air like the other losers.
The brutality and bloodshed continued, and Li Nan was taken out of his cell by the guards, and his opponent was a sturdy black gladiator, and the two came to the referee together.
The referee, who looked like a member of a heavy metal band with metal trinkets on his face, roared loudly, "Witness the battle of the trapped beasts, and look forward to blood and death once again!" ”
"There's Maxmax, the Hearteater!"
"Please kill the Serres!"
"Which of them will survive? Which beast do you like? Hurry up and place your bets! ”
Because it was betting time for the spectators, there were still a few minutes before the official start began, and Quintus came to Li Nan's side wearing escorts Barka and Ashur.
Quintus looked at the mind-eating beast Mark Max on the opposite side, and asked Li Nan, "Are you sure about this one?" ”
"He's no match for me!" Li Nan confidently gave an affirmative answer.
Quintus didn't believe Li Nan's words, so he looked at Barka beside him, hoping that he would give him a professional advice.
Although Barka was still a little jealous of Li Nan, who had defeated him, he didn't dare to lie about this kind of thing, nodded and said, "This guy is not my opponent, and naturally he is not Huang Shu's opponent." ”
"Good!" Quintus patted Li Nan on the shoulder and encouraged: "As long as you can keep winning here and let me earn enough money, then I will forgive your crimes, so work hard!" ”
"For your sake and for my life, I will do my best!"
After Li Nan made a guarantee, he nodded at Ashur, the lame speculator smiled and nodded, he understood what Li Nan meant, this was to let him bet all his money on himself.
When the betting time was over, the referee in the underground arena called Li Nan and the mind-eating beast Max to his side and said loudly: "The game is about to start, and now is the time to choose a weapon." Will the gods bless them with weapons, or will they curse them and leave them unarmed and choose your fate? ”
A defenseless slave girl walked up to the field with a smile and an iron box.
Maxmax drew a wooden card from the box, and the referee took it and looked at it, announcing in a loud voice, "Maxmax drew a short sword!" ”
Li Nan also took out a wooden card and handed it to the host, and the referee shouted: "The Serres got a hand stab!" ”
Today, the gods of Rome do not seem to bless the gladiators from the training ground of Rudes, because the so-called hand thorns are something similar to iron fists, but the back of the hand is full of sharp iron spikes.
After selecting the weapon, the referee shouted, "There is only one rule, until the god of the Styx, Charon, takes him away!" ”
Li Nan and Max Max, the mind eater, were taken to the middle of the field by the guards, and the game officially began.
Max Max, the Mind Eater, cut his hand with his sword, smeared blood on his face, and laughed madly: "Hahaha, I haven't eaten the heart of the Seres yet, I'll dig out your heart in a moment and taste it!" ”
An invisible bloody murderous aura came to the face along with the words of this madman, and the audience standing on the sidelines felt a chill in this hot summer.
Although Maxmax seems insane, he is not a fool to survive in the underground arena.
Every time he wins, he will dig out the opponent's heart and eat it, in fact, he doesn't like to eat this kind of thing, but to build momentum for himself, and all his performances after he came on the court are also to deter the opponent and seize the opportunity, but unfortunately he met Li Nan this time.
Although Li Nan has not killed as many people as him, he has also killed countless zombies, and at this time, he also released his powerful battle intent and killing intent, and shouted: "Give me death!" ”
After the cruel words were finished, the two of them rushed towards each other in unison, the Heart Eater could gain great fame in the underground arena, and its fighting skills were also extraordinary, and the sharp short sword about one meter long slashed directly at Li Nan's neck.
Due to the gap in weapons, Li Nan fell to the disadvantage just after the war, and in the face of the opponent's clever attack, he could only keep retreating to dodge the sharp short sword in the hand of the mind eater, and the audience on the sidelines saw him constantly fleeing, and immediately gave Li Nan a huge boo.
Seeing Li Nan's embarrassed appearance, Quintus, who had placed a heavy bet, shouted loudly: "You bastard, hurry up and fight back for me!" ”
Li Nan heard Quintus's scolding, but unfortunately it wasn't that he didn't want to fight back now, but that he was wearing a pair of iron fists, and he really couldn't get close to the other party.
The mind eater Max who had the upper hand laughed triumphantly, and kept wielding his short sword to chase and slash, forcing Li Nan into a corner after a few minutes, and after another violent sweep, Li Nan staggered to the ground in order to dodge.
"Kill him!"
"Hurry up and dig out his heart!"
Seeing that Li Nan was cornered, the audience, who were looking forward to blood and death, suddenly shouted loudly.
The mind eater Max slammed his strong chest at the audience, raised his short sword high, and was about to understand Li Nan with a sword.
"Huh!" A handful of yellow sand was sprinkled on the face of the heart eater by Li Nan, and Maxmes, who was caught off guard, quickly closed his eyes.
Taking advantage of the brief opportunity, Li Nan rolled forward, grabbed the Mind Eater's legs, and pulled him to the ground.
This is a place where you don't live or die, so Li Nan didn't keep his hand, and his two fists wearing hand thorns slammed into the vital point below the waist of the heart eater, and the male symbol of the other party was beaten into flesh with seven or eight punches.
No man can be safe and sound after being hit like this, but Li Nan underestimated this guy who lives in hell on earth, and the Heart Eater could still howl and wave a short sword in such a situation, sweeping towards Li Nan's neck.
Li Nan, who thought that his opponent had no combat effectiveness, hurriedly dodged back, although he dodged quickly, but a thin scar was still cut on his neck.
Facing the great fear between life and death, Li Nan's brain exploded, his eyes instantly turned blood-red, and the negative emotions such as anger and fear in his heart completely exploded, and he began to frantically smash the other party's body.
I don't know how long it took, but Li Nan, who was exhausted, finally slowed down his movements.
His opponent, the terrible mind-eating beast Maxmax, had been beaten into a leather pocket by countless blows, and there was not a single good place on the entire corpse, and almost every bone had been completely shattered.
Li Nan slowly raised his head and looked at the excited audience around him, his brain regained clarity, and bursts of neat shouts reached his ears.
"Bone Crusher!"
"Bone Crusher!"
