CH.38 The Colosseum

Dragon's Breath:

Description: A powerful combat technique designed based on the breath of the dragons, compresses the energy into one point, and then releases it with all its strength to form a linear strike. This skill has a destructive power comparable to the breath of the dragons, and after it is released, it is indestructible, the only drawback is that it consumes too much, and it consumes a lot of physical strength every time it is released, so it needs to be used carefully.

Skill Type: Active Skill.

Specific Weapons: All handheld weapons with blades.

Attack: 25.

Stamina: 30.

Proficiency: 1/50 (After reaching full proficiency, you can upgrade to the more powerful skill "Super Dragon's Breath Slash")

An Rui hurriedly read the data introduction, the power of this combat skill is really amazing, the attack power has reached 25 points, and it has thrown other combat skills a few streets!

As mentioned in the introduction, the only drawback of this combat skill is that it consumes too much, and even with An Rui's physical strength, it can't be released a few times.

"From now on, this skill will be my killer weapon." An Rui whistled and turned off the system panel in his mind, absorbing the dragon soul of the Drill Dragon he had just killed.

After reaching level 16 and accumulating a large number of dragon souls, An Rui achieved the two goals of this trip as he wished, sped up his speed, and embarked on the return journey.

On the way back, An Rui and his group successively met some soldiers and adventurers who had gone deep into this place, and learned a rather interesting thing from these people.

"Look for it again, there was a strong man who recently killed the Ground-Drilling Dragon in the Lost Dragon's Lair, but after killing it, he wouldn't take the body away. Many people have picked up the body he left behind, and if we can pick it up, we will make a lot of money. ”

"I don't know who this strong man is. I heard that he started very neatly, and all the wounds on those earth-burrowing dragons were only two or three, and some even only had one. ”

"To be able to kill a wurm like the Drill Dragon with one blow, this strong man is really amazing."

An Rui heard this kind of conversation many times along the way, and the strong man in these mouths was naturally him. These days. He had been killing the Drill Dragons in the Lost Dragon's Lair, leaving behind a large number of corpses. In his eyes, the corpse was a treasure of value, but in the eyes of those soldiers and adventurers, it was a valuable treasure. When these people saw the dragon corpses left behind, they all took them out of the body and sold them, leaving not even a single corpse.

This incident spread more and more in the Lost Dragon's Lair, attracting a large number of people to this area. In order to get something for nothing, he went around looking for dragon corpses. Think of this as a means to make a fortune.

An Rui's actions have invisibly fulfilled many people and led to a "corpse search" craze.

If these people knew that An Rui, a strong man, would be leaving soon, they would definitely want to cry without tears.

Port of the Miracles, in front of the Colosseum.

An Rui and his party finally returned here, tomorrow is the day when the gladiatorial fight officially begins, he came here this time to meet with the Marquis of Rhodes, and by the way, take a look at the black Lanlong who was detained. Check out the dragon's condition.

Before coming here, they had washed and rested. Without the dust and dust of traveling, everyone looks clean and tidy.

When meeting a local noble marquis, you always have to pay attention to your appearance.

Among the people, the most formal one is Alice, who comes from the royal family and cares more about this kind of occasion.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please come with me, the Marquis of Rhodes is watching a wonderful gladiatorial fight, and I have ordered me to lead you over." A middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper said politely.

The crowd followed the butler and entered the entrance of the gladiatorial arena.

There was a deafening noise in the gladiatorial arena, and the atmosphere was quite hot, and the sound was higher and higher.

This shout reminded An Rui of the World Cup.

The local people are very enthusiastic about gladiatorial fighting. Fighting, death, and large amounts of money staked the audience's nerves together and made their blood boil.

Standing in the gladiatorial arena, accepting the attention of thousands of people, and defeating a powerful opponent under the attention of everyone, this is really a coquettish thing. An Rui is already looking forward to tomorrow's gladiatorial fight, when the time comes, he will become the protagonist of the entire gladiatorial arena, the only protagonist!

Human life is nothing more than a process of pursuing happiness, and fame and fortune are part of happiness.

An Rui is a layman who loves both money and fame. He would be happy to stand in the arena and listen to thousands of people cheering for him. This is one of the important reasons why he agreed to this deal.

Under the guidance of the butler, everyone entered the gladiatorial arena.

The Colosseum was a huge investment, covering an extremely large area, reaching a staggering height of three hundred yards alone, and its width was difficult to visualize. A building of this magnitude could not be built by manpower alone, and could only be built with the help of earth wizards.

The structure of the gladiatorial arena is complex, there are a full ten gate holes, which can accommodate three carriages running side by side, and there are countless small doors, only those who know this place well can reach the destination with ease.

The group entered a small door and went up several stairs to the VIP stand inside the Colosseum.

Located in the center of the arena, the stand has a very open view of the entire gladiatorial process without getting too close to the battle area. There are also many defensive magic circles arranged around it, which can resist the impact of battle and prevent accidents.

Only people of high authority can sit here.

Anrui met the Marquis of Rhodes face to face.

Rhodes was a dwarf, small and stocky, wearing a black coat with a tight-fitting jacket underneath, covered in jewels, and wearing many priceless gold and silver jewelry, some of which had effects. If you take off his outfit, you can sell it for 100,000 gold coins!

Although Rhodes is very short, no one will despise him, the height of the dwarves has long been recognized by many races, and no one will despise the dwarves.

Long-term contact can change many people's perceptions.

"You must be Mr. An Rui, right? I'm glad to see you. Rhodes stood up. With a smile on his face, he greeted Anrui.

"Marquis of Rhodes, first meeting. Hello. An Rui also greeted with a smile.

Rod exchanged a few polite words with An Rui, and then shifted his attention to the several women's soldiers who came with him, and said with a smile: "Brother An Rui, your Yanfu is really not shallow." ”

Anrui smiled, noncommittal.

This meaningful sentence made several beautiful women show different expressions, and Sha Fei looked indifferent. Alice pursed her lips and smiled, Hermione was slightly embarrassed, and Amy's eyes widened. It's like trying to suck people in.

Everyone quickly took their seats and sat in the empty seats on the VIP seats, and Anrui was next to Rhodes.

"It's a great fight, let's talk while we watch." Rod smiled slightly. Set your sights on the battle area below the skull. He grabbed a glass of wine from the tray of a valet beside him and brought it to his lips.

There was a fierce battle underway below, with a heavily armored Terran warrior on one side and as many as three orc warriors on the other, and two orc corpses lying to the ground in a horrible death.

In order to increase the visibility, the Colosseum often arranges special battles, such as being outnumbered. Or let people fight monsters and so on.

Today's gladiatorial battle is a typical example of outnumbering.

Although there is only one Terran warrior, he is far superior to his opponent in terms of strength. Having not fallen into disadvantage, the outcome of this battle is still unknown.

"Ahh The Terran warrior roared and stabbed the spear out of his hand, the tip of the sword sharpened. A sharp cone-shaped aura flew past the left arm of an orc, tearing open a bloody wound.

The wounded orc was not deterred, and still charged forward, swinging the thorny mace in his hand and smashing it into the head of the Terran warrior, smashing the thick helmet to the ground.

The battle continued with the shouts of the spectators.

"Anrui, which side do you think will win this battle?" Rod asked with a smile as he shook the wine glass in his hand.

"It feels like the orcs will win, their wheel battle is successful, and the speed of the Terran warriors is getting slower and slower." An Rui guessed casually.

"Good eyesight, the winner of this gladiatorial battle is indeed the group of orcs."

"The Marquis's tone is so confident, could it be that this gladiatorial fight was arranged by you yourself?"

"That's right, so I know the orcs will definitely win." Rod said pleasantly.

"Do you ask about every gladiatorial fight in the gladiatorial arena?" An Rui asked, raising dark eyebrows.

"Not all of them are asked, only those gladiatorial fights with large bets, I will secretly interfere. I don't deliberately let the audience lose in every gladiatorial fight, and occasionally I give them a taste of sweetness, creating some cases of getting rich overnight because of betting. Only in this way can the audience's enthusiasm for the gladiatorial arena be maintained. ”

"Good strategy. If I opened a gladiatorial arena in the future, I would do the same as you. An Rui smiled, not disgusted with Rod's approach, this is actually the unspoken rule of the gladiatorial arena, and every gladiatorial arena is the same.

While the two were chatting, the battle below had already been decided, and sure enough, as An Rui expected, the Terran warrior was exhausted by the wheel battle and was defeated with hatred.

Fortunately, this battle was not a life-and-death battle, and the Terran warriors saved their lives.

The gladiatorial battles in the gladiatorial arena are divided into two types: victory and defeat battles and life and death battles, the former is based on falling to the ground as the criterion for judging victory or defeat, and the latter is endless, which is quite cruel. Relatively speaking, life-and-death battles were more exciting, but few powerful gladiators were willing to participate in such gladiatorial fights. The lives of the strong are very valuable.

"Take a good look. The next battle will be the turn of the Black Arashi Dragon. Rod's eyes lit up, and he was obviously much more excited than before, "This is its third appearance, and it won the first two games, burning its enemies to ashes with the power of darkness. It will still win this gladiatorial fight, and I want it to leave a mark on the hearts of the audience, so that when it is your turn to fight the Black Dragon, more people will bet on the Black Dragon to win. ”

An Rui was a little surprised, he didn't expect to be able to catch up with the battle of the Black Lan Dragon, which was a good thing, it could let him see in advance what level of strength the Black Lan Dragon had after being suppressed.

The deaths of several gladiators also made him a little concerned.

"Was every gladiatorial fight before Heilanlong a life-and-death battle?" An Rui asked.

"No, it's just the opposite, Heilanlong's previous battles were all ordinary battles of victory and defeat." Rhodes smiled a little cruelly, "But do you think that a fierce dragon like the Black Lan Dragon will know how to show mercy to his subordinates?" Even if those gladiators were defeated. It also doesn't stop attacking, it still kills the gladiators. ”

"I see."

On a platform above the battle area, a host is enthusiastically explaining the upcoming gladiatorial fight. Boost the audience's mood. There were also several wizards next to him who were working hard to strengthen the magic circle, trapping the battle area firmly so that the aftermath of the battle would not hurt the surrounding audience. The Black Lan Dragon is too powerful, and the Dark Breath is one of the strongest breaths, and ordinary magic circles can't resist it at all.

"Roar!"

Behind an iron barred door, a deafening dragon roar was heard, which was even more exciting than the host's thousand words.

Some viewers with good angles. I was already able to see the silhouette of the Black Arashi Dragon through the iron bar.

The black dragon had a dark face, scarlet eyes, and a faint white smoke spewed from its nostrils. It's a little more violent than when you stay in the Evil Suppression Hall. Without the suppression of the Holy Light Circle, it finally revealed its true nature.

"Look, our newest gladiatorial star, Kuro Lanlong, is about to appear! It's won two games in a row, and you should already know how powerful it is. It's too late to bet. If you have money in your pocket, bet on it! The host shouted.

The iron gate slowly rose, and the Black Lan Dragon immediately rushed out of it, rushing all the way out twenty yards before stopping. On its black armor-like feet, two shackles were fastened, the other end of which was attached to the ground within the bar, and even it could not break free. It had as many as three evil straps around its neck, and it looked like three bandages. The two extra belts that suppress evil spirits. It was provided by Rhodes, not by the Great Church.

The Black Lanlong roared again. The sound turned into a visible sound wave, shaking the ground and trembling.

The roar strengthened people's confidence in betting on the Black Orchid Dragon, and a large number of people seized the last betting opportunity and bet a lot of money on the Black Orchid Dragon.

The gladiator on the other side soon came on the field, and it turned out to be a Terran wizard in robes.

There are very few bets on the Wizard to win, although there are good odds to bet on him to win.

"How did you convince him to play?" An Rui asked, staring at the wizard.

"There's always a way to find someone to play." Rod smiled mysteriously.

An Rui didn't ask any further.

"Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! The audience erupted in a wave of rage.

Amid the shouts of the crowd, the next gladiatorial fight finally began!

"Roar!" Hei Lanlong narrowed his eyes, his pupils contracted rapidly, and his gaze locked on the small figure opposite. It opened its mouth, and behind a mass of fangs, a dark breath brewed, and the attack was ready to unleash.

The wizard held his staff high and performed a doppelganger technique, which divided the whole person into ten and turned into ten phantoms, so as to obstruct the eyes of the "dragon". Ten phantoms rushed out in different directions, forming an encirclement and encircling the Black Lan Dragon in the center.

The Black Lanlong looked at the dazzling phantoms, aimed at one of them, and opened his mouth to spit out a dark breath. A black column of energy excited. Shoot out, hit the target instantly, and make a big hole. The breath continued unabated, bombarding the defensive array. The translucent circle fluctuated violently, as if it would shatter at any moment.

The Black Orchid Dragon's neck twisted, and the breath that erupted from its mouth moved with it, sweeping over the rest of the phantoms. Those phantoms were completely vulnerable in the face of the dark breath, and they were shattered.

The wizard body seized this fleeting opportunity to make a move, ran all the way to the left flank of the Black Lan Dragon, waved the staff in his hand, and cast an offensive magic. The space in the abdomen of the Black Lan Dragon was visibly distorted, and this turned out to be a rare space-based magic, a model of this kind of magic that was difficult to construct and only a very few wizards could master.

The space distortion produced a terrifying destructive force, tearing apart the scales of the Black Lan Dragon's abdomen!

It turned out that this wizard was also prepared, not an ordinary person.

The Black Orchid Dragon stopped breathing due to the severe pain, and the aftermath of the breath dissipated, and the final impact on the defensive circle was carried out. It spread its wings and flew into the air, dodging the dangerous magical attack, a little blood spilling from the wound in its abdomen, but it wasn't fatal.

The two sides of the gladiatorial fight went back and forth, and the fight was inextricably linked, and this battle was countless times more exciting than the previous battles!

An Rui, who was sitting in the VIP seat, had been observing Hei Lanlong's every move, and had a rough estimate in his heart.

Heilanlong is indeed much weaker than it was in its heyday, at least seventy percent of its strength has been reduced, and it is no longer so dangerous. With Anrui's current strength, with various treasures and skills, there is more than ninety percent certainty of winning!

"When it's your turn to fight it tomorrow, it'll keep its current strength, no problem, right?" Rhodes asked, turning his head sideways and smiling.

"No problem." An Rui said confidently.

"I hope we have a good time working together."

"Shall we sign a contract later?"

"There's no need for that." Rod smiled even more, "I always keep my word, and my words are the best contract." ”

"Hehe, okay."

The fierce battle below finally came to an end, and despite the wizard's great strength, he was defeated by the Black Lan Dragon and turned into black ashes.

Several staff members entered the battle area and worked together to force the Black Lanlong back behind the iron bar. During this period, there was a person who was not strong enough and was killed by Heilanlong and became the second unlucky ghost.

The audience gave a new round of cheers to the Black Lanlong.

After admiring a few more gladiatorial fights, Anrui said goodbye to the Marquis of Rhodes and led his companions out of the place. That night, he had a good rest, recuperated and prepared for the next day's gladiatorial fight.

The next day, when the sun was rising, Anrui came to the gladiatorial arena again. Today he changed into a neat set of clothes, wore three swords on his body, and carried a golden feather shield on his back, although it was not to the point of being armed to the teeth, it was almost the same.

Today he did not go to the audience, but was guided by the staff to the gladiators' waiting area.

A battle of his own, coming! (To be continued......)
