That night, Jin Zhan followed Batitas and Azul to a dark and dilapidated complex of ruined buildings. But when I walked a few steps inside, I found a completely different brightly lit scene from the outside.

Although the number of spectators could not be compared to that of the official arena, this small space was still full of people.

The surrounding bonfires stretched the shadows of the people in the field and cast them on the gloomy walls, reflecting the twisted and hideous faces. These faces are still waving their teeth and claws, and ghosts are crying and howling.

Hoarse screams, painful wails, bloodthirsty shouts, and the crunch of gold coins all mingle into a magnificent symphony of ode to hell.

In the face of this weird, depressing, and terrifying atmosphere and environment, even though Jin Zhan had made all kinds of mental preparations in front, he still felt uncontrollable fear all of a sudden.

Batitas, a businessman accustomed to seeing strong winds and waves, is inevitably heartbeating, inexplicably excited and nervous in this environment. On the contrary, Asur beside him looked comfortable and complacent, and even enjoyed the environment a little.

Jin Zhan remembered this in his heart, and understood that this gladiator named Azul was by no means an easy person to match, and he must be cautious and always wary of him in the future.

At this time, Asur took the initiative to step forward and said in Jin Zhan's ear: "Jin Zhan, you have to be careful and watch these games, and then it will be your turn to play." You must be careful to keep your identity secret, and neither I nor Batitas will contact you directly in the future, so that others will not suspect your identity. ”

Jin Zhan nodded, and he didn't want to communicate with Asurdo. However, Azul enthusiastically told him some of the rules and precautions of the underground arena.

This information is indeed crucial to Jin Zhan, and apart from Asur, Jin Zhan feels that no one else may be able to know so many key details. Therefore, he still expressed enough gratitude to Azul.

Next, Jin Zhan was silently introduced into the array of contestants to be contested. And he watched Azul and Batitas go away, and they were already sitting far away in the back of the guest seats.

Due to the careful makeup, Jin Zhan's appearance is already the same as that of the men of the Roman Empire. It's just that his tall and thin figure still looks so unique, abrupt and obvious among a group of underground gladiators.

The other gladiators looked at him with more of a look of pity. Maybe in the eyes of others, even his physical condition is forced to participate in such a tragic competition, which is really a bit inhumane.

However, no one came to communicate with him too much, after all, everyone is desperate to come to this kind of place to throw their heads and spill blood. And if you are lucky enough to be able to compete with someone like Jin Zhan, it is equivalent to picking up a life for nothing.

Jin Zhan had already focused his full attention on the fighting match in the center of the ring at this time. Two muscular warriors were already standing in the center of the arena to face each other.

The host shouted: "The game is about to begin, now the draw of lots will start to select the respective combat weapons." ”

After each of them pulled out an object in a wooden box, the host showed the audience the names of the weapons they had drawn, and at the same time sent the corresponding weapons to the two warriors.

One of them drew a large steel knife, while the other drew a dagger. This made Jin Zhan, who watched this game for the first time, feel the extreme cruelty of the game.

Not to mention whether there is a possibility of black-box operation in this draw, but this kind of disparity in weapons has also greatly reduced the fairness of this game, no wonder Azul just now had to explain that he did not draw lots first. Perhaps this obviously short weapon has already been sequenced.

Even though he couldn't use a heavy weapon like a steel knife, he didn't want to give it to his opponent. Obviously, the result of this draw will determine the general direction of the game.

In the next betting session, it was obvious that the vast majority of the chips were thrown into the warrior who drew the steel knife, and the odds ratio, which was almost five or five open, changed dramatically in an instant.

In the end, as expected, the warrior with the big steel knife was unstoppable and unstoppable. The Warrior who drew the dagger had no way to completely block the attack from the Steel Blade. After barely dodging a few attacks, he was slashed in the arm with a knife and instantly lost his ability to fight.

But the man with the knife had no intention of stopping, and with a few swords, the dagger wielding the dagger was cut into a blur of flesh and blood, and it was unbearable to see. He was hastily dragged out of the field.

The next group of opponents had a relatively fair mix of weapons. The duel between the sword and the sword is purely based on the gladiator's own specialty.

Compared to the previous match, this time the competition has more suspense, and there are supporters of both sides betting on them during the game.

In the end, the man with the sword stabbed his opponent to death by a narrow margin. But he was already seriously injured and dying. I'm afraid that even if I fully recover in the second half of my life, I will have to leave a lot of hidden diseases.

As time passed, Jin Zhan also felt a little cramped and uneasy. It was soon his turn to play, and when the host called his code name, the eyes of the audience began to converge.

After Jin Zhan got up, there was silence in the venue, and then a burst of laughter erupted.

Someone shouted: "How did this kind of goods pass the selection?" Is there any point in this kind of competition? ”

"yes, who's going to buy him to win?" Voices come and go.

The host motioned for everyone to be calm. He said loudly: "The two people in the next game are both physically weak people. You're used to seeing the fight between strong warriors, don't you want to watch this kind of rookie pecking between weak people? ”

Before the host could finish speaking, another gladiator had already arrived in the arena. Compared with Jin Zhan, that person was obviously a lot shorter, but in terms of physical fitness, he was still significantly stronger than Jin Zhan.

It should be at least a lower bound level for an average adult male. Where is it like Jin Zhan's side, you can't see the muscle contours at all, and even minors are not as good.

The audience was still sighing, and the chips were all floating towards the stout man. The host was also helpless, and he didn't know which boss of Jin Zhan, a thin guy, was forced into the competition to participate in the competition.

This is definitely a kind of smashing their field. It was not easy for him to find a person who could match him, but there was also a huge gap. In terms of the distribution of the chips, this game is completely meaningless.

However, when everyone was complaining, one hand quietly put a heavy bag of money on Jin Zhan's side of Shengli.

In the draw session, Jin Zhan followed Azul's advice and drew lots, and the result was indeed quite satisfactory to him. His opponent drew an iron club, and he got a sharp sword.

Fighting blunt weapons with sharp weapons and attacking short with long weapons, at least in terms of equipment, Jin Zhan will not fall into absolute disadvantage.

After the start of the match, Jin Zhan once again followed Azul's advice and chose to hide his combat power at the beginning. The kind of body movements that seem unbelievable to outsiders have not been fully used. In the eyes of outsiders, he dodged several opponents' iron bar attacks in an embarrassed manner.

While the dodge was successful, the sword in his hand did not have the slightest idea of attacking the opponent. This has led to more and more boredom among the audience, and even gamblers who have just planned to make a small deal and ambush a few hands have completely dispelled this idea.

However, Jin Zhan understood that this kind of clumsy performance did not need to last too long, after all, it would cause unnecessary danger to himself.

So in the turn after the opponent's attack failed, he took the opportunity to hand over the steel sword in his hand, and pointed at the opponent's throat without hurrying or slowly.

The opponent gradually became careless because he did not encounter an effective counterattack from Jin Zhan in the previous attack. The attack action is also gradually more offensive than defensive, and there is no rhythm at all.

With a large range of attack movements, the consumption of one's own physical energy is also very terrifying. If he uses it for a weak person, he will inevitably be physically exhausted in a short period of time. At this time, as soon as the attack misses, it is difficult to control your inertia at all.

Faced with a sudden, stabbing sword to the throat, he was surprised to find that this seemingly ordinary sword seemed to have been perfectly calculated, and it was shot at a time when he had completely lost his defense and dodged the possibility.

In desperation, he had no choice but to lean back as best he could.

But where did he expect that the sword handed out by Jin Zhan seemed to have a slow initial velocity, but in the process of movement, it accelerated strangely suddenly. This acceleration is not noticeable at first, but it is precisely in the later stages that it begins to erupt.

To outsiders, it may seem like an ordinary counterattack, but only he understands that this sword has almost declared him dead.
