Chapter 43: A sense of foreboding

A burly man walked up the steps from the right side of the ring.

The players were in place, and the host didn't know what props were used, so he floated into the air outside the ring to explain passionately to the audience.

"Remember our rules, the game is over only if one side concedes defeat or dies!"

"Now, I announce the official start of tonight's 'Game of the Brave'!"

As the bell rang for the start of the game, the man named Ossie was the first to exert his strength, and with a roar of rage, the muscles on his body bulged out layer by layer, and even the entire shirt exploded.

This kind of struggle to release the most primitive desires of human beings is the easiest to make people's blood boil, and Osi's simple and rough opening made the atmosphere of the scene ignite all at once.

Ossie was a burly but agile man, a huge fist, and slammed into Athos with an astonishing momentum.

Athos didn't dare to hold up Osi's iron fist in the face of it, and dodged it sensitively.

"What's going on with Athos today, he can't be afraid of Osi, right?"

In the face of Osi's constant onslaught, Athos did not simply fight back as before, but kept dodging, and the audience below got bored, and some people began to complain.

And Athos in the ring was not affected by the audience's emotions at all, and was still calm and composed.

In fact, although he has been dodging Osi's punches, he is actually analyzing Osi, and he is surprised to find that Osi's punches look full of holes, but it is impossible to see the number of ways he punches.

Athos hasn't come up with a defusing move yet, so it's better to avoid its edge first and consume some of Osi's physical strength.

But there won't be much time left for Athos, because the organizers have already had a way to deal with this kind of scenario.

Seeing that Athos refused to fight Ossie for a long time, the host gestured in one direction, and then the audience noticed that the space in which Athos could hide was getting smaller and smaller, and the magical defensive wall around the ring was shrinking to the middle.

The audience finally burst into cheers.

Li Jie's emotions were also completely driven by the atmosphere of the scene, and he didn't notice that Wana didn't squeeze over to watch the game like everyone else.

Instead, she drank glass after glass, as if she was in another world at this time, and she couldn't hear everything around her.

It was as if she had returned to that cramped and dirty little cell, only eight years old, with a thinner figure than ordinary people, a small lump, hugging her body in the corner, shivering.

The most feared moment of the day is about to come, and this realization makes little Wana's frightened eyes full of tears, but she bites her lip and stubbornly refuses to let the tears fall.

With a bang, the door was opened, and a big hand pulled her out mercilessly.

They would wash her and put her on clean clothes.

Large, rough and ugly hands rubbed wildly over her stunted body, and she had no power to resist.

Then she was forcibly pushed into a small ring, and across from her stood another little girl of about the same age.

A man with a leather whip was also standing in the ring, and he was their referee.

And outside the ring is a group of strangers who are well-dressed and ugly.

Little Wana was too thin, but she did her best, and hit the girl who was also attacking her.

Even though she had no fighting power, she had to act fiercely.

Because if she doesn't, the whip in the referee's hand will make her suffer even more.

Each time, little Wana was beaten all over her body, and the worse she was beaten, the more the crowd cheered.

The cheers of the scene overlapped with the cheers in her memory, and Vana sneered and poured another glass of wine, her eyes were misty, her cheeks were red, and she was indescribably moving.

Seeing this, the bartender at the bar kindly said to convince him: "Beautiful adventurer, you better stop drinking, and leave with your friends early." ”

Wana squinted her eyes to see the person in front of her, and suddenly remembered the purpose of this trip, and there was no one around at this time, so she just opened her mouth to ask: "Do you know how to get to Jiagangtan Mountain?" ”

The bartender scratched his head, a little cramped: "Jiagang Tanshan? I've never heard of it, but what are you going to do? ”

With a hint of mystery and a hint of temptation on her face, Vana approached the bartender and lightly opened her lips: "Lieyang Clan, don't you know that you can find Lieyang Clan when you go to Jiagangtan Mountain?" ”

"Sun Clan?" The bartender groaned for a moment, and suddenly seemed to remember something, his face changed, and his voice became serious: "Do you mean it really?" Who told you that the Lieyang people live in Jiagangtan Mountain? ”

Vana raised her hand and pointed at the crowd indiscriminately: "Li Jie." ”

The bartender followed Vana's fingers, and the crowd was so crowded that it was impossible to tell the difference.

The bartender retracted his gaze and looked at Wana, his voice faintly excited: "The Burning Sun Clan has become a legend a long time ago, I sincerely hope that you and your friends can find the Burning Sun Clan, if the Burning Sun Clan can really reappear in front of the world one day, it will definitely cause a sensation in the whole world." ”

Vana propped up her forehead, and said to herself that she had really drunk too much, and even asked the bartender about it.

I didn't bother to judge the bartender's sincerity, but I really wanted to leave.

The situation in the ring has long since changed, and due to the shrinking space, Athos has more and more difficulty in dodging, and after taking a few solid punches, Athos has been able to understand some doorways.

Although Oxi's fist was strong and flawless, at the moment when his fist was fully hit, there was an empty door in the lower abdomen dantian, although it was only a short moment, but it was his best chance to counterattack.

Seeing that Osi's fist was in front of him again, Athos took a stance of trying to take the punch hard.

Seeing that his opponent finally faced him head-on, Osi's spirit was lifted, and the force of his punch couldn't help but increase a few points.

"Good time!"

With a loud shout, Atos threw his fist and slammed it into Osi's face.

Osi's right fist had already been punched, and seeing Athos's intentions, he bent his left arm as a shield, but the fist that was about to face his door suddenly disappeared in front of his eyes, and it was Athos's body that suddenly became shorter, and the fist that hit the door was already straight to his lower abdomen.

Osi's reaction was not unpleasant, and he immediately realized that the other party had discovered his empty door, but how could he not have a way to deal with it?

I saw that he forcibly turned his right fist, which had been fully played, to his left lower side, and his left fist responded from the side, forming a cross with his right fist, and at the same time, his waist flew up and his right leg swept towards Athos.

Seeing this, Athos immediately gave up his previous plan, changed his fist into a claw, caught Osi's right leg with both hands, and threw Osi's whole person into the air with the help of force.

This is not over, Athos has come to Osi's side in a flash, and a series of fists are swung, and the whole person of Osi who smashed straight into the air is flying.

Athos's fist didn't look as strong and powerful as Othy's, but there was a faint halo attached to it, it was condensed magical energy.

Such a fist hitting a person may not seem to be very lethal, but it can cause great pain to people, and recovery is extremely slow.

Ossie grinned at being smashed by Athos's fist, and it was difficult to stabilize his body in the air, but after all, he had a lot of actual combat experience, and he tried to straighten his body, and he fell sharply and fell heavily in the ring.

In the eyes of outsiders, it was Ossi who was smashed down by Athos, and the audience erupted in a burst of enthusiastic cheers, and many people who had taken Ossi secretly clenched their fists.

Although the fall was not a small shock, Ossie finally got rid of Athos's annoying fist.

Adjusting his body, he lunged at Athos again.

This time Athos no longer dodged, and the two fought fiercely.

Li Jie only felt dazzled, these two people were so fast that they couldn't tell who was who.

Li Jie had never seen such a fierce real-life hand-to-hand fight before, he only felt that the blood in his whole body was boiling.

I was looking at it well, and suddenly I felt that my collar was being pulled by someone, and then there was a strong response, and I was pulled out of the crowd.

"Grass!"

Seeing that his previous position was quickly occupied by others, Li Jie broke free, and subconsciously began to condense the flames in his hands.

When I turned my head, I saw Vana, and in those beautiful eyes, the eyes were so empty that it was distressing.

Li Jie's anger was instantly extinguished: "What's wrong with you? ”

"It's fine."

Vana turned around and paused, "It's time to go back." ”

The voice was cold and deep, as if it came from afar.

Li Jie silently followed, the lively scene in the tavern and the victory or defeat of the game seemed so insignificant compared to Vana at this time.

Speechless all the way.

Back at the hotel, Tianhui didn't ask anything when she saw that the atmosphere between Li Jie and Wana was weird.

The three of them went back to their rooms to rest.

Li Jie lay on the bed and took out the badge that was given to him when he signed up for League of Legends before.

A brass badge with a cold glow.

The shape of the badge is similar to the in-game logo that indicates rank.

The circular pattern in the center of the badge is a small button, and when you press it, a piece of projection is released.

The projection scrolls through the latest developments of the Alliance and the Righteous Lands' Quest Quest.

The tasks were all invitations to some brass ranks, and Li Jie guessed that it had something to do with his rank.

There are quite a lot of tasks, most of them are boring reasons in Li Jie's opinion, and the rewards are not very attractive.

Li Jie had no intention of taking the task for the time being, and when he went to register, it was also to avoid being summoned by high-level competitions.

Most of the dynamics of the league are to announce the winners and losers of some games, or which hero has been in the limelight recently.

It's all the names of people and places that I don't know.

Just as he was casually flipping through it, a sharp pain suddenly hit Li Jie's brain.

"Hey, what's going on!"

Li Jie hugged his head and shouted.

But the pain came and went quickly.

Immediately after the heat on his hand, Li Jie looked down and saw that it was the contract mark between him and Xiao Hei that was flickering, and it disappeared in a few clicks, hidden in the skin.

"What's going on? Could it be that something happened to Xiao Hei? ”
