Volume III Spartacus Chapter 48 The Return to the Homeland

In the drought-stricken city of Capua, the people are suffering and struggling to make a living. However, the aristocracy can still ensure their food and clothing by squeezing the people at the bottom. And now the thing they are talking about after tea and dinner is the upcoming arena rain competition.

The two sides are Shadow of Death and the recently appeared Miracle Son Jin Zhan and Spartacus. All three of them have no small stories and legends.

Many people have expressed their satisfaction and agreement with the arrangement of this game, and the administrator has gained a lot of hearts in the circle by relying on this layout. As long as this matter is done well, it is estimated that his career will be more stable and can flourish.

Soronis didn't seem so happy. After all, his original plan to kill two birds with one stone was to completely reduce the power of the Batitas family through this match, so that he would be slumped and no longer have the ability to compete with him for the top spot in the Capua Arena.

But now the administrator has been persuaded to use Jin Zhan, an idol faction, to replace the powerful Kress, so that Batitas still has a certain amount of capital behind him to rise again, so he has to wait for the next opportunity.

The race that many good aristocrats had been waiting for finally kicked off on an exceptionally hot and dry day.

Long before the start of the game, the arena stands in Capua were already full. On the one hand, these nobles had a very holy and pious attitude towards this gladiator competition that could bring rain; On the other hand, they are also looking forward to the excitement of the game.

In the rudimentary lounge of the arena, Jin Zhan and Spartacus sat opposite each other. After many days of cooperation, even if the two of them don't speak, they can roughly understand each other's intentions just by looking at them.

Spartacus struggled to calm the tension and excitement in his heart at this time. And Jin Zhan seemed to have more expectations, he was looking forward to the shadow of death, which could stimulate and remove the shadow that shrouded the motor nerves of his body.

Not long after, led by the guards, the two of them were guided to the middle of a rack of weapons and equipment. According to the rules, they can choose to arm themselves fully.

I saw a dazzling array of weapons and armor, but I didn't know how many dead souls had ever worn them, fighting and bleeding in this land of blood and sand and then falling.

For this gladiator's glory, both Spartacus and Jin Zhan sneered at it equally. It was nothing more than the result of the hypocritical aristocracy forcibly brainwashing them.

The glory of the arena cherished by these countless gladiator predecessors was nothing more than an after-dinner joke of the aristocratic class, which seemed worthless in the face of freedom.

As for the choice of weapons, the two have been discussing and preparing for a long time. Considering Deathshadow's height and long arms, attack range, and the sheer size of his attack, it was natural for them to choose a ranged weapon with the same excellent attack range.

But this arena has always encouraged primitive hand-to-hand combat, and how could it possibly provide them with such a greatly reduced viewing ranged weapon.

For this reason, Jin Zhan had no choice but to choose two daggers with relatively light weight among the many weapons. In order to maximize his advantage in agility, he would definitely not choose a heavy weapon, let alone the armor that almost overwhelmed Jin Zhan when worn on his body.

Under Jin Zhan's additional application, the arena side additionally agreed to let him take away a finger tiger. From the perspective of the arena, a weapon like the Finger Tiger will inevitably make people laugh and be generous in this kind of game, and giving one more weapon like this will not affect the balance at all, not to mention that the opponent is that monster.

Spartacus, on the other hand, calmly chose a square tower shield and a gladiator sword, as well as a light leather armor, which made people look much more serious and professional.

It was not the first time that Jin Zhan and Spartacus had stood in front of this iron gate in the Capua Arena. Either way, it's not going to be a pleasant memory.

Compared with when facing the ferocious beast, Jin Zhan was much more relaxed at this time. As the iron gate opened, he had already walked quickly into the center of the field, calmly waving to the stands.

The audience on the field has been looking forward to it for a long time, and when they saw Jin Zhan's appearance, they were naturally restless and cheering. They shouted "Miracle Child, Miracle Child".

But when they saw that Jin Zhan had no armor around him and could barely see weapons, the curiosity in their hearts increased a lot.

After all, many people here have seen Jin Zhan's performance at that time, even if they haven't seen it, they have heard of Jin Zhan's legendary performance of first subduing the giant tiger and then defeating the strong enemy from many rumors.

And today this guy seems to be going to continue his legend again, but will Shadow of Death promise him the opportunity to perform? For a while, there was an endless stream of heads.

Spartacus, on the other hand, was much quieter, after all, he suffered a heavy defeat in the last game to the gladiator Cress, who also belonged to the Batitas family, which made the audience not have such strong expectations for his performance.

On the other side of the field, the legendary shadow of death finally came out.

With his appearance, the atmosphere of the entire arena ignited to a climax.

As rumored, he is more than 2.5 meters tall and has a sturdy body like a mountain. With his long shawl hair and murderous face, he looked like a bloodthirsty beast.

The fierce eyes are swept away, which can make people tremble. Perhaps only such a strong man can shake the heavens and the earth, so that the heavens are willing to rain down for him.

Shadow of Death enjoyed the cheers and admiring gazes of the audience, and walked steadily towards the two people in the center of the field.

Jin Zhan and Spartacus instantly felt the chilling killing intent coming at them. In the venue, it seems that he is the boat that leaves, facing the stormy waves that crash on the shore.

Although I have simulated and imagined this terrible giant countless times in my heart. found that when actually facing each other, the fear that penetrated deep into the bone marrow was much clearer and stronger than imagined.

Especially his ruthless, animal-like look at the slaughterhouse, which made them both feel like they were fat on the cutting board.

Unlike when he first entered the arena and faced the colorful tigers, Jin Zhan's fear at this time was more high-spirited. The acceleration of the heartbeat, the significant increase in blood circulation, these conditions rarely appear in Jin Zhan's body.

In this situation, he felt as if he had touched the thin layer of window paper, just like when he first entered the underground arena.

A fear that comes from the instinct of the body and a fighting spirit that also comes from the instinct of the body.

This battle intent seems to ignite the blood in the whole body, making it burn and boil. His intuition told him that this might be the opportunity for his body to break through, but unfortunately, this impulse and passion were quickly calmed down by a rational mind that was running as calmly as a machine.
