Chapter 420: The Fierce Ape (2nd Watch)
Gladiators are fierce, but no one is interested in paying attention to others when they are close to battle, and the gladiators in the movie who fight angrily at every turn don't live long, well, except for the main character.
Fools who waste their energy by arguing and fighting when they are about to play generally die the fastest.
Ye Chen also learned from them to sit down and close his eyes to recuperate, listening to the tsunami-like cheers from above, now is the first opening battle, so the gladiatorial battles arranged are generally very exciting, and the ones who can play the first battle are basically gladiators who are favored by the supervisor, and their status and treatment are very high.
Ye Chen ranked third, which belonged to the prelude to the most exciting stage of the morning gladiatorial fight, which means that his next gladiatorial fight or next appearance will definitely be the most exciting.
Leaning against the wall and closing his eyes to recuperate, it didn't take long for a huge shout to come from above, Ye Chen frowned, opened his eyes and looked at the other four, their expressions were not very good-looking.
At this time, the two heavily armed armor soldiers guarding the door suddenly pushed open the door and rushed out, and quickly dragged a corpse that was close to tatters in and threw it on the floor, and the 'snap' blood splashed on Ye Chen's face, and he didn't move.
The other four gladiators had similar expressions on their faces, silently staring at the corpses on the ground.
They recognized this corpse, and Ye Chen also had the impression in his heart, it was a famous gladiator in the gladiatorial arena nicknamed the Crazy Lion, most of the gladiators in the gladiatorial arena did not have a nickname, and belonged to the lowest level gladiators, but once you have a nickname, it means that you have made a certain name, and the treatment is completely different from that of ordinary gladiators.
Not only does there be a separate room, but there is also an appearance fee after each battle, and occasionally you can leave the gladiatorial arena to play in the city, and you have a certain amount of freedom, and if you save enough money, you can also redeem yourself, which is not allowed by ordinary gladiators.
"The Lion is dead..."
"The lion is dead, and it's up to you!"
A loud voice came from behind, and Ye Chen immediately turned his head and saw a big man with a pipe and a brocade robe walking down the stairs, followed by four subordinates.
Dahan took the pipe in his hand, pointed to the five gladiators in the hall, and said:
"There are big people who come to watch the battle, and they are very dissatisfied with the performance of the wild lion, so the gladiatorial arena has decided that the five of you will go together, and then the battle of the wild lion, as compensation, if you win, the appearance fee of the wild lion will be divided equally between you, and you will be allowed to go out for a day."
After speaking, his gaze swept over the five people one by one.
And the five gladiators were also silent, and after a while, Ye Chen raised his hand and asked:
"Can we prepare weapons?"
Dahan smiled slightly and said:
"Weapons of your choice, and you can also choose a piece of chain mail and shield."
He was very generous, but everyone was not happy when they heard it, but they were even more worried and nervous, the battle in the gladiatorial arena was all for spectacle, the more fierce the battle, the more dangerous it was, and now the gladiatorial arena was equipped with weapons and protective equipment, which meant that the opponent was very powerful.
The big man with the pipe waved his hand, and one of his men opened the door of a room on the side of the hall, and inside was a small armory, and two rows of shelves were full of bloodstained weapons, and the big man pointed to them and said:
"You have half a pillar of incense to prepare."
Everyone glanced at each other, silently got up and entered the room to prepare weapons, only Ye Chen walked to the door of the gladiatorial arena and took a look, and saw a fierce ape squatting in the center of the huge gladiatorial arena that was pitch-black and exuding an astonishing aura.
It turned out to be a fierce beast, no wonder the famous gladiator like the Wild Lion was killed.
The so-called fierce beast is an enhanced version of the ordinary beast, similar to the powerful strength of the monster, but without the wisdom of the monster, it is called a fierce beast in this world, which is very powerful.
Apes have always been strong and agile, Ye Chen saw that the target knew it, returned to the weapon room and chose a long sword for himself, and tied a long dagger around his waist, the shield and chain mail were useless, but would reduce speed and agility.
Look at the other four people, all of them are really fully armed, swords, axes, hammers, shields and chain mail, they can be equipped as much as they can, and he is an alternative.
The five people were ready, the door to the gladiatorial arena was opened, and one of the big men with a scar in the corner of his eye walked out with a short axe, and immediately there was a cheer from the stage, and the five mermaids walked out, and a huge cheer came into their ears, and there was a muffled sound of 'bang' behind them, and the door was closed.
When the fierce ape saw someone come out, he stood up from the ground and was nearly three meters tall, and his huge size and fierce aura brought them tremendous pressure.
At this time, the host in the gladiatorial arena was shouting in a passionate voice:
"Ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen, now there is a team of five experienced gladiators, they will be here to challenge a fierce ape from the Yellow Wind Canyon, whether the bloodthirsty fierce ape is better or the battle-hardened warrior is better, let's wait and see!"
The host's words were very incendiary, and the atmosphere in the stands of the gladiatorial arena soon became enthusiastic, and in one of the VIP buildings at the top of the gladiatorial arena, a bewitching and delicate beautiful woman was lying on the cloud collapse, and a maid on the side peeled off a grape and put it in her mouth, holding her plump chin with her hand, and her voice was lazy and seductive:
"It's kind of interesting."
In the corner of the room stood a big man, the same man with a pipe before, and the pipe was hanging from his waist at this time, and he bowed down and said:
"Madame, if you have any special requirements, I'll do it for you immediately."
The beautiful woman waved her hand:
"Forget it, so be it."
"So I'm going to let them go?"
"Well, go ahead!"
In the field, Ye Chen's five people were scattered and lined up in a row, about one step or so apart, this distance was enough for them to reinforce at any time.
Although most gladiatorial fights are fought alone, there are occasional group battles, and simple cooperation is still possible.
At this time, a huge gong sounded from the high platform, and the fierce ape, which stood up and stared at them but had not moved, seemed to get a signal, kicked his legs violently, stepped on the hard ground with an obvious footprint, and his huge body rose directly into the air, like a meteorite falling straight towards Ye Chen.
Obviously, this fierce ape regarded Ye Chen, who had no shield and armor, as a soft persimmon.
Ye Chen kicked his feet, his body retreated violently, the fierce ape smashed down, a circle of air waves blew his eyes slightly, and when he took a step back, a pair of thick ape arms just fell in front of him, and a large piece of floating earth was shaken up with a 'bang'.
Ye Chen took the opportunity to swing his long sword and slash at the ape's arm, feeling like he had slashed a steel wire, and vaguely seemed to see a spark coming out, and the blade of the sword slid directly from the fur of the fierce ape.
The two gladiators immediately seized the opportunity to collide with their shields and sandwich the fierce ape in the middle, while the other two raised their swords and stabbed the fierce ape.
"Drink!"
A ray of blood lit up, and the blade of the sword pierced through the fur of the fierce ape with difficulty, injuring the flesh and blood.
