Through yesterday's conversation with Sang Dai, Jin Zhan has learned that the reason for this is the fear brought by the shadow of death. There is always one of them who has to bear and face the immense pressure of the shadow of death.

And Cres, as Capua's former champion, is naturally under the most pressure. Although he didn't care about it on the outside, he had the same fear and helplessness in his heart. After all, the physical and strength advantages he relied on were wiped out in the face of the shadow of death, and even in turn he was absolutely weak.

In fact, he also wanted to try his best to avoid this battle, but the gladiator's concept of honor was deeply rooted in his heart, and he would never show the slightest fear on the surface.

Spartacus, on the other hand, has always been full of a confident smile, training actively, and desperately trying to improve his technique. It seemed that he was fully prepared and wanted to take the initiative to die generously.

Regarding the performance of the people present, Jin Zhan looked at it one by one, and his curiosity also rose. He wanted to come forward to communicate with Spartacus, but he didn't dare to step forward blindly without knowing the situation.

What he didn't expect was that Spartacus actually took the initiative to talk to him: "Hey, young man, I see that you have been looking at me, if you need my help, please speak." ”

Jin Zhan shook his head in surprise and said, "No... It's nothing. I just found that the people in the field were very depressed and dignified, only you performed the most relaxed, and the training was the hardest, so I couldn't help but pay more attention to you. ”

Spartacus smiled heartily and said, "You guy doesn't train well, and you secretly look at the rest of us." Be careful that I go to Omenas to sue you, so that you can enjoy a whip. ”

Looking at Jin Zhan's slightly frightened expression, Spartacus smiled and said, "It's just a joke, don't take it seriously." I've heard your story, in fact, the two of us have a bit of a sense of sympathy, and you are more legendary than mine. No wonder they all call you the Miracle Child. ”

Jin Zhan understood that Spartacus's banter was also self-deprecating, and found that the legendary hero was also a casual person, so he replied: "My name is Jin Zhan, let's not compliment each other, you also know that the louder the title, the worse the situation at that time." ”

"Haha, I won't compare with you, why did you become a prisoner here?" Spartacus continued.

"Hey, I'm also young and frivolous, traveling far away. Unexpectedly, I encountered the burning and looting of the Roman army, and I was so lucky to become a prisoner of war. Jin Zhan said nonsense.

"Aren't your relatives still thousands of miles away? Well, my wife is still wandering away, and she hasn't been heard from yet..."Spartacus was saddened at the thought of his wife, Sura.

Jin Zhan also sighed: "There is no home under the war, which is the common sorrow of the people at the bottom." In any case, we are all people who will not die in great calamity, and there will be blessings in the future, and the days to come will be better and better, and you and your wife will always have a day of reunion. ”

After a short exchange, Spartacus had a very good impression of the spirit. This talkative and sunny young man is completely free from the lifeless and corrupt ideas formed by the oppression of life of the low-level slaves.

After talking for a while, he called his good brother Vero over and got to know Jin Zhan. The three men, who were relatively isolated in the group of Batitas gladiators, also gradually came together.

In the courtyard hall of Batitas, Batitas was walking back and forth, looking anxious. Next to Ludia, a lame gladiator, and the black instructor Omenus were waiting. Batitas walked for a while, then turned back to a few people and complained, "Kapua's damn weather, I don't know how many days it hasn't rained. We're running out of clean water right now. Azul, how are you going to buy supplies? ”

The lame gladiator Azul respectfully stepped forward and reported, "Master, the price of fresh water in the market is ridiculously high right now. Our current economic situation is really worrisome, not only water, but also the price of various other foods has suddenly skyrocketed after fighting drought for a long time, and now the money on hand is simply not enough. ”

At this time, Ludia also stepped forward and accosted: "Honey, we are already so unable to make ends meet, you see that those gladiators still eat and drink well all day long, and their training is not active at all." Especially the new Oriental man. You are such a big fish and meat to raise him, he is good, he is still so shriveled and thin after a week. ”

Batitas interrupted her impatiently and said, "Don't talk about these useless things, I'm annoying, Omenas, tell me how Jin Zhan's training is going?" ”

Omenas glanced meaningfully at Batitas and Ludia and said, "Master, I am absolutely not mistaken, this son not only has a strong special body talent. At the same time, his combat savvy can be regarded as excellent. It was only through one training match that he saw the biggest problem in the fight. ”

Hearing Cress's question, the hostess Ludia subconsciously frowned, very displeased. But it's not good to attack in front of Batitas.

Battitas must have been in a better mood when he heard that Omenas had spent a lot of money on the treasures, and said, "Well, that's good, you go on. When will he be able to become a true gladiator? ”

Omennus replied, "He was originally not skilled in martial arts, but he was able to escape under the claws of a tiger by relying on some special body technique that may have been their East. Now I've taught him some basic combat techniques. While dodging, he already has the ability to pose a threat to his opponents. So I thought I could arrange his gladiator canonization ceremony on a later date. ”

Batitas clapped his hands and laughed, "Good! Give him some more consolidation, Omenas, and you must pay more attention to him. Find a way to customize a set of special fighting techniques for him that don't require much strength. ”

Omennas nodded happily and took his leave.

Ludia now wrote Buyue all over her face and complained to Batitas, "Is it worth your pleasure for this little thing?" Aren't you anxious about how we will operate in the coming days? ”

Batitas was having a terrible headache when Azul, who was next to him, stepped forward and interjected, "Master, my subordinates have a solution to their urgent needs. ”

The lame gladiator Azul was able to gain a foothold in the Batitas family because of his ability to read words and be well-informed. To a certain extent, Azul has become an important assistant to Batitas in handling chores.

Hearing him say that there is a solution to the problem, Batitas was very happy, waved his hand and said, "Azul doesn't have to be polite, let's talk quickly." ”

"Okay, master, hostess, do you remember when we took Spartacus to the underground arena to fight and win money?" Azul said slowly.

As soon as Batitas heard this, he immediately interrupted him, shook his head and said, "No! The gamblers in the underground arena are not stupid, Spartacus is going to compete there now, who doesn't know him? How can I still make money. ”

Asur stepped forward again and whispered, "Master, it's not for Spartacus to go to the underground arena again, but for the new Jin Zhan." ”

"Do you think that Jin Zhan's thin and shriveled appearance, if he was dressed in a little disguise, who would know that he was the famous miracle son in that arena? With such a vulnerable opponent, I guess the odds on the casino will be one-sided, right? ”

"Didn't Omenus also affirm this guy's ability, and since he could even dodge the claws of the giant tiger, let alone the rabble in the underground arena. In this way, we are likely to win several games in a row, which is a lot of violence. ”

When Ludia heard Azul's proposal, her eyes lit up, and she quickly clapped her hands and agreed, "That's a good idea. I asked someone to put on his makeup, and I'm sure no one would recognize him. ”

At first glance, Battitas was disgusted. Because he wants to take the treasures he bought with a lot of money, go to a place like the underground arena that has no rules, and if you are not careful, you may be in a different place, which is simply a tyrannical thing.

But then I thought about it carefully, on the one hand, it is true that I can't open the pot at home now, and I can't drink water. On the other hand, as Azul said, Jin Zhan's appearance conditions are too deceptive.

Even compared with the weakest adult man in this era, Jin Zhan's body will still be much inferior, and the odds will inevitably be high and scary. If the operation is good, you may be able to make a big profit.

So he began to pace back and forth again, and looked back at the two of them from time to time, constantly weighing the pros and cons of this plan, risks and benefits.

Finally, in the expectant eyes of Azul and Ludia, Batitas finally nodded fiercely and said, "Okay! That's it, Azul, you go about this as soon as possible. ”
