Chapter 1: Becoming a Slave

Flames erupted from the rusted barrels, bringing warmth to the cold cells.

Bell~

Bell~

Bell~

The crisp sound of metal clashing was particularly clear in the cold cell.

Yu Jin broke out in a cold sweat and woke up from his sleep.

The first moment he opened his eyes, he only saw a faint fire, but more of it was a pitch-black space, neither the ceiling nor the touch of the bed was familiar to him.

"I~ Where is this?"

Yu Jin got up from the wooden bed, but there was a sharp pain in his body.

This made him can't help but let out a painful ** sound.

Looking down, the position around his waist was tied with a bandage, but there was a trace of blood oozing from the surface of the bandage.

I feel a little pain when I take a slightly hard breath.

"It's... What's going on? ”

Bell~

The sound of metal clashing sounded again, Yu Jin raised his head and looked around, only then did he realize that he was in a prison, with cold iron fences and dark corners, which felt like a medieval dungeon.

"Yo? Woke up? ”

This time, Yu Jin finally found the location where the sound came from, and the sound of metal colliding was getting closer and closer.

By the light of the fire, Yu Jin saw the appearance of the person who came.

An old man with a withered face held a bowl of dark brown tea soup in his hand and handed it to Yu Jin.

The movements of the hands are slow, but they do not tremble.

Yu Jin hurriedly took the bowl with both hands.

"It's... This is? ”

"This is ghost withered vine water, although it doesn't taste very good, but drinking it is good for your injuries."

So saying, the old man walked back to the dark corner where he had been.

Yu Jin looked at the tea soup in his hand, but did not drink it immediately, but turned his head to look at the dark corner.

"Old man, where is this place?"

Halfway through, a voice came from the corner.

"This is the slave arena of the monster city. As for how you got here, I don't know, old man, they just want me to bandage you for you. ”

Hearing these terms, Yu Jin was completely confused, he didn't know anything about the demon beast city and the slave arena.

Yu Jin thought about it for a while, and felt that it was better to cover it up with the word amnesia.

"Old man, I seem... Amnesia, so what is Demon Beast City? And what is the Slave Arena? ”

Hearing Yu Jin say that he had amnesia, the old man couldn't help but sneer: "You are really unlucky, looking at your bare skin and smooth flesh, I thought you would be the young master of some family, but I didn't expect to have amnesia, it seems that you want to be a slave with me." ”

When Yu Jin was about to say something, the wound on his waist began to hurt.

Once again, he couldn't help but ** in pain.

"Drink the medicine, or you won't even want to sleep tonight."

This time, Yu Jin didn't hesitate and drank the bowl of the Devil's Withered Vine Water in one go.

"Bitter! It's more bitter than twenty-four flavors! ”

After drinking, he only felt that his whole tongue was numb and seemed to be unconscious, and not only that, but he couldn't even feel the pain in his lower back.

Next...... He couldn't feel anything.

When he woke up again, all he could hear was the constant clanging outside his cell, with the occasional swearing.

But the distance seemed to be a little far, and Yu Jin didn't hear what he was saying.

When I opened my eyes, it was still a dim place, and even the iron bucket that had been burning before had no fire.

Sure enough, is it still here?

After lying down for a while and thinking about his situation, Yu Jin slowly got up from the plank, and then remembered that he was injured.

It's just that the wound on the waist is not so painful now, I don't know if it's Yu Jin's ability to bear it stronger, or the effect of the ghost's withered vine water.

"Yo, woke up?" The old man seemed to have the ability to see in the dark, and soon found Yu Jin who was getting up.

"Yes, thanks to your medicinal soup, I feel much better now."

Yu Jin didn't know what to say, so he could only thank him to the dark corner where the voice came.

Bell~

The old man slowly walked to Yu Jin's bedside from the corner, began to check Yu Jin's wound in the darkness and said: "The kid is very polite, maybe he is a big family, but unfortunately, you have lost your memory, so you can only follow the old man and me and be a slave." ”

Just as Yu Jin was about to ask something, footsteps suddenly came from outside the cell.

When the old man heard this, he hurriedly leaned towards Yu Jin and asked, "Boy, do you know how to use swords and clubs?" ”

Yu Jin originally wanted to say yes, but after a change of heart, he shook his head and said, "No." ”

"In that case, then when someone asks you whether you want to be a slave or a gladiator, you choose a slave, you know! Don't be a gladiator, you'll die! ”

The old man's speech was very fast, but Yu Jin still heard it clearly, and after a simple thought, he estimated what was going on.

Just as he was thinking about it, the door of the cell was opened, and a beam of light shone directly on Yu Jin's face, which made Yu Jin have to raise his hand to cover it slightly.

This is?

Flashlight?

Where the hell am I?

"Xu Laosan! Did the little white face wake up? ”

Xu Laosangong, who was squatting next to Yu Jin, said with a smile: "Wake up, wake up, but this kid has amnesia, so I'll let him follow the military master." ”

The man standing at the door waved his hand impatiently and said dissatisfiedly: "Don't worry about the amnesia, the inspector general is still waiting for the review." ”

As he spoke, he walked in directly and picked up Yu Jin.

Yu Jin only felt that he was being picked up by a huge force, and then he was carried out of the cell by his shoulders.

In a blink of an eye, Yu Jin saw that the ears of this military master were actually on the top of his head.

Yu Jin, who thought he was hallucinating, hurriedly shook his head.

"Don't shake around!" The military master slapped Yu Jin's body.

This slap is not small.

Yu Jin immediately wanted to resist, but after thinking about it, he felt that he still didn't want to act rashly, so he let the military master carry him.

As he walked all the way, Yu Jin once again confirmed that this military master did indeed have a pair of fluffy ears on his head.

But he didn't say anything, just let the military master carry him to an iron gate at the end of the prison.

Knock knock!

"Come in." A gentle and calm voice rang out from within.

The military master pushed open the door, and directly threw Yu Jin on the ground and saluted the person sitting in the desk inside

"Report to the Inspector General! The last person to be assigned is delivered. ”

It took a while for Yu Jin, who was dazed, to come back to his senses, and then he saw a big man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, sitting on a simple office chair and examining him.

I saw him take out a form and ask, "What's the name?" ”

Yu Jin was slightly stunned, because he found that this extremely fierce-looking big man actually had such a gentle and jade-like voice, which greatly stimulated his senses.

"Ahem!"

The military master standing behind Yu Jin coughed lightly, "Hurry up, the inspector general is in a hurry." ”

Yu Jin hurriedly stood up straight as if he was in a university military training: "Report to the Inspector General, my name is Yu Jin!" ”

The inspector general raised his head slightly and looked at Yu Jin's delicate but not very handsome face.

Then he turned to the next page of the form and said: "According to the records, it was the caravan that picked you up unconscious on the road, when you were injured in the waist and were in a coma for three days and three nights. So the question is, is there anyone in your family who can ransom you back? ”

Hearing the inspector general's question, Yu Jin looked bitter, and then said.

"Report to the Inspector General, I have amnesia, I just remember my name."

The inspector general raised his head again and glanced at Yu Jin, and then let out a soft sigh.

"It doesn't matter, since that's the case, then there are two choices before you now, one is to become a slave and serve us for twenty years, and when the time comes, you can leave here; The second option is to become a gladiator, win or lose, and leave the slave arena after twenty fights in the ring. ”

Yu Jin didn't even think about answering directly: "I choose to be a slave." ”

This time it was the turn of the inspector general to pause, and his rugged face showed a trace of interest in Yu Jin, of course, only a hint.

"Why don't you ask for more details and just choose slaves?"

"Because I know I'm just an ordinary person, let alone twenty games, even if it's one, I can't play."

"Good, self-aware."

The inspector general picked up the pen and wrote something on the form, then closed the form and said to the military master: "Take him back, let him study hard with Xu Laosan, Xu Laosan is old, God knows if he will burp one day." ”

"Uh, Inspector General, isn't that a bit too hasty?"

When the military master heard that the inspector general directly assigned Yu Jin to Xu Laosan as an apprentice, he directly raised an objection.

"Huh?" The inspector general turned his head and looked at the military master.

Although that sound sounded like a simple question, the military master couldn't help but take a step back.

Even Yu Jin, who was standing on the side, felt that he was being targeted by an extremely ferocious beast for some reason.

"No, no! I think this one named Yu Jin is also very good, and it is very suitable for Xu Laosan's apprentice. ”

"Hmm~"

The inspector general nodded, waved his hand in the direction of the military master, and then began to pack up the things on the table, looking like a person in a hurry to get off work.

The military master hurriedly turned around and opened the door and took Yu Jin back to the prison.

Along the way, the military master didn't say a word, but he didn't seem to be in a very good mood, and Yu Jin didn't dare to take the initiative to speak.

Walking all the way to Xu Laosan's cell, the military master opened the door and shone a flashlight on Xu Laosan inside, saying, "People, I brought it back, and the inspector general said to let him follow you." ”

Xu Laosan, who was lying down, stood up, looked at the military master in dismay, and immediately smiled, saying, "That's okay, that's okay, at least my things won't be thrown away." ”

Looking at Xu Laosan's appearance, the military master was silent for a moment, and then said, "I'll think of a way again." ”

"No need, no need to toss anymore, boy, come here." Xu Laosan beckoned to Yu Jin.

Yu Jin still had a good impression of this old man, and hurriedly ran over.

"Old man, the kid's name is Yu Jin, please give me more advice in the future."

"Hahahaha~ Although they call me Xu Laosan, it's good if you call me Lao Xu, follow me, it's pretty good, at least you don't have to do a lot of rough work."

"Uh.... Thank you, Mr. Xu! ”

A glint of appreciation flashed in Xu Laosan's eyes, and he couldn't help but nod slightly.

Although Yu Jin is still in a state of confusion about where he is, at least there is a guide now, and it is only a matter of time before he can understand where he is.

The military master standing in front of the cell did not speak, but stood for a while, then closed the door and turned to leave.
