Chapter 614: Bloody Ritual
Although the battle with Heng was achieved without consumption and battle damage, this kind of play was also a waste of time, and more than a week passed unconsciously, and with the spread of that news, the main plane had probably turned over.
Walking through the streets of the Bloody Arena, a special area on the 137th floor of the Abyss, looking at the scene on the street, I was a little curious, this is the first time I've been to this city, and I've heard that it's still a bit famous.
It's been closed for the past few days, or it's just outside the city to prepare for battle, and now you have time to look at the scenery, the bloody arena? What a strange city name.
A human ran over, an axe followed, his head blossomed, and ah, he died.
A berserker ran over, a fallen angel chased after him, his head blossomed, and ah, he died.
A half-elf ran over, a group of demons chased after him, blood splashed, and the head also bloomed, tsk, the brain splashed on the body, it was disgusting......
There have been seven or eight tragic deaths along the way, and I think I almost know the style of this abyssal city, probably, there are no rules, but I'm a little strange, if I kill like this every day, then there are not enough citizens......
Moreover, the pursuers ignored me, which is surprising given my usual luck.
"Young man, you're new here?"
Watching me wander the streets, someone actually stopped me first, the appearance of the black cloak, mysterious, but the disgusting pimple arm with the witchcraft cane revealed her identity, it was a ghost woman.
Since there was an offer to explain it for me, I nodded. Admit that you are new to the city.
"Huh. Youngster. It's not a safe area, so let's go over there and talk. ”
Behind the old ghost woman was a dark alley, so she moved out of the way a little and motioned for me to go in and talk again.
Then I laughed, it's nice to have a local guide who took the initiative to come to the door, I was worried that I didn't know the news of going to the plane door, at least the ghost woman was very well-informed.
So, I smiled and held out my hand. A silver-white ice sword was placed on the ghost woman's neck.
It's not that I'm really planning to rob, it's just that if I really follow the ghost woman into the alley, it's inconceivable that I don't jump out of a few smashing sticks.
As for the trafficking of human beings, the sale of organs or souls, it depends on what kind of trade this ghost woman is engaged in.
"You... What are you doing? ”
"Actually, I think it's a good place to talk about it, tell me everything you know. I will give you what you deserve based on the value of your information. ”
"You...... How dare you offend our 'Raven's Eyes', you Paddler fool of the main plane, your doomsday ......"
"That's right. My name is Roland. Arashi, you've probably heard my name. ”
"Smack."
The ghost woman's wooden staff fell directly to the ground. Shaking all over my body as if I had a cold fever, it seems that I am still a little famous, such a rare scene, I am a little happy.
"The wanted criminal who robbed the Ghost Woman Market? A golden egg worth 1,000 spirit coins? Sisters, we sent! ”
The ghost woman's cloak had fallen to the ground without knowing it, her cloudy eyes were full of surprise, and her trembling fingers pointed at me, as if she had encountered some rare treasure.
"Poof."
The dead cat on my shoulder laughed out loud, and I was stunned, and the next moment, I racked my brains, and I didn't find out that I had robbed any ghost market.
"Come on, don't think about it, can you still believe the words of the ghost women? Just find a reason to want you, find out where you are, the real bounty...... Danatis, devil bosses, hypocrites, etc., you have offended a lot of people, take your pick. ”
And around them, there is already a four-armed snake demon, a high-level vampire, and two ghost women, it seems that this team still has some strength.
"Hey, it seems that we should really go to the alley to talk."
"Hehe, you're so humorous, it's okay to go to the alley now."
"Oh......."
It seems that they are still worried that the battle has alarmed others? Is there still a rule in the city? So, I actually went in.
Five minutes later, the mouth of the alley was frozen in ice, and the ground was full of cold air, and the ghost woman in my hand was enthusiastically explaining the rules of the city to me.
The Abyss City Bloody Arena, I'm afraid it's the most dangerous and bloody city in the world, and its lord is a succubus... Yes, the succubus who is the worst of the demons and specializes in charm and infernal affairs.
And beauty may be a weapon that even kings in the mortal world can't resist, but in the abyss, it can't compare to two or two muscles, and the status of a succubus is not high, and this succubus can control the city because she has a pet.
Void Devourer, an extremely dangerous creature, its appearance is probably a monster wrapped in a twisted void surrounded by a giant mouth the size of a mountain range, and an adult Void Devourer is as simple as eating a demon baron as eating a lunch, the fundamental reason why this creature does not have a high position is that its IQ is relatively low.
“…… You say this city lord was able to gain the trust of the Void Devourer because it was a gift that she bought something for? Are you kidding me? You might as well say it's a phone bill. ”
"What's the phone bill? No, I don't dare to lie to you, this has been spreading for half the abyss, and it is said that the cubs of the Devourer of the Void are very cute, like human-faced worms, which is why the lord of the castle is called 'Didina of good luck'. ”
Human face worms? It's disgusting enough just to think about it, actually raising this kind of thing as a pet, it seems that the aesthetics of the abyssal female are indeed a bit problematic.
When she said this, I could almost guess what was going on.
The recipe of the Devourer of the Void is no different from that of the Great Demon, and the soul that dies of despair is definitely the most delicious delicacy, but unlike the ordinary demon who returns to the Styx when he dies, the soul eaten by the Devourer of the Void cannot re-enter the reincarnation, which is why both the gods of order and the evil gods of chaos see this creature as a mortal enemy.
And since the city lord here relied on that Void Devourer to ascend to the throne, he naturally wanted to feed this pet, then, every day, I am afraid that ten or hundreds of souls would be needed.
".......Every day at noon, the mysterious Bloody Bell of Destiny will be activated, select a random twelve targets, mark them with special colors, and they will become the prey of the whole city, and the hunters who kill them will receive a huge reward from the city lord."
I kind of know why this city is called the Bloody Arena, every day at noon, the bell rings, and the whole city becomes a gladiatorial arena, and those unlucky people are gladiators, and the others are either beasts in the arena or spectators enjoying the perspective of bloody slaughter.
I don't know how many people this city has, but considering its area, hundreds of thousands will definitely not be less, and if there are only a dozen a day, I am afraid that most people are living in the present with the form of "I will not be so unlucky...... Considering the dangers in the abyss, a mortality rate of 1 in 10,000 is really not a thing, and it can become a tourist attraction for the city.
"And if the marked ones do not choose to hide or escape from the city, but live in the city until noon the next day, they can be received and appreciated by the city lord, but since the new lord ascended the throne, there are no more than five such strong people, but often in less than an hour, those unlucky ones will die, and the fear and despair in the soul are not enough, and the void devourers are not satisfied......"
"Bell!"
A sudden ringing of bells in the sky interrupted the ghost woman's words, and she suddenly became excited.
"Yes, yes, that's it, if it ends too soon, the bell will ring again, find twelve more unlucky ones, let me go, I'm going to find a place to hide, in case I get drawn, I have to get out of the city quickly......."
The panicked ghost woman suddenly stopped struggling, her swollen eyes wide, and she stared at me deadly.
I was also stunned, looked up at the sky, this day, it seemed a little red.
“…… I ask something, will the chosen prey have a red light shining above its head? ”
"Yes, it's Didina's bloody spear, used to guide the hunters."
"Well, isn't my head red?"
"It's so red....... why are you still so calm? You've become the enemy of the city! ”
Faced with the ghost woman's question, I asked Qingtian speechlessly, if I really want to say, probably it can only be because of ......
"Get used to it......"
I don't even know what to say, I don't even sigh that I am unlucky, when I listen to the ghost woman's explanation, with my years of experience... With the experience of being hit in the knee, I knew that I would probably be drawn this time.
And the hurried footsteps showed that the hunters were approaching, and the ghost woman was struggling fiercely.
"Let go of me! I don't want to be implicated by the unlucky bastard, and don't pass on your bad luck to me! ”
"Poof. Even the ghost woman knows you're unlucky! ”
The dead cat on the shoulder, as always, laughed out loud without giving face.
"Shut up, black cat that brings bad luck... What does it mean for me to go and become a white cat at this time, sarcastic me? (To be continued......)
