Chapter 400: Wubi (1)
Everyone rushed out of the lounge, led by the masked man, walked in the dim passage for a few more minutes, and gradually heard the noisy voices in front of them, and soon the eyes suddenly opened up, and everyone finally arrived at the place where the martial arts competition was held.
It is a large, brightly lit underground space, which looks somewhat like a Roman gladiatorial arena, with a sunken circular flat in the center, surrounded by a circle of stepped stands, and at the top is a "bowl lid" that is buckled down, covered with electric lights, supported by huge stone pillars around it, in addition to this, there are steel trusses that were added later, reinforcing the gladiatorial arena.
Tonight was an important day for the Christie family, and the people who could be present were all important people within the family, so at this time, there were only about two hundred people in the huge gladiatorial arena, which seemed a little empty, and they would all sit together separately according to their different positions.
Gong Bing and the others walked out of the passage on the top wall of the stands, and with a glance, he saw the three protagonists tonight: Lauder, Doland, and Raul.
All three were mature men in their forties, in the prime of life, and although they were of different heights and temperaments, they all had the same bright blond hair and the same handsome faces.
Blonde beauty, both male and female, has always been a characteristic of the Christie family.
At this time, Raul was sitting straight away from the exit of the passage with his arms crossed, and there were still old Wharton and Ms. Deli beside him, in addition to a dozen or so strange men and women, who must be Raul's henchmen. Ms. Di Li beckoned when she saw Gong Bing and the others appear, and Gong Bing and the others also came to sit down behind the three of them.
After that, people came out of the passages in all directions one after another, these people were old and young, with different appearances and various dresses, some simple and low-key, some luxurious and flamboyant, and some sexy and exposed.
Presumably, these people, like himself, were invited to help with the fist, and seeing them sit down behind Lauder and Dolan respectively, Gong Bing thought in his heart.
After about a few minutes, everyone was there, and finally the door was closed from the outside.
Then, in the corner of the stands, in the midst of a group of older people, an old man who looked to be sixty or seventy years old, dressed in a decent brown suit and leaning on a dragon-headed cane, looked energetic and strong, and he was the current patriarch of the Christie family, Muric Christie.
Through the amplification equipment, the old patriarch's voice was particularly loud and powerful, and he couldn't hear much old at all with his voice, he recited a brief ancestral teaching, and then said the rules and content of the martial arts, and then announced the official start of the martial arts.
The rules of Wubi are very simple, that is, to defend the competition, regardless of means, regardless of life and death, as long as you can become the last person standing in the gladiatorial arena, you are the winner.
There are not many other rules, first, each side only has eight places for the challenge, and second, there can only be one-on-one heads-up in the Defend match.
For a big family like Christie, using this way to decide the winner is a bit too simple in Gong Bing's opinion, but what does it have to do with himself?
Gong Bing is not interested in thinking too much, he really doesn't understand the world of rich people.
Maybe they love it?
Lauder, Doland, and Raul are all upper-class people, and they have received the top elite education since they were children, no matter what kind of ghost they are behind their backs, they will have a smile and a polite mask on their faces, so at the beginning of the martial arts, they just said a few words that were not salty and indifferent, and there was no shrew scolding the street and scolding in front of the army.
This was a bit unexpected by Gong Bing, who was still looking forward to seeing the scenes of those big family children tearing each other apart and slapping each other in the novel.
Next, the first to send people to fight were Doran and Raul, a bald man and a tall and thin black man, respectively.
Listening to Alice's whispered introduction next to him, the two are famous masters, and they both have loud nicknames, one is called Bloodback Maniac, and the other is called Black Scorpion Arm.
The bloodback maniac is a beast ability, and at the beginning of the competition, he turned into a red-haired tiger and pounced on the opponent, and the black scorpion arm also made a gesture for the first time, he was wearing a neat power suit, and it was obvious that he was a secret martial artist.
The two sides are like enemies of life and death, they are dead hands as soon as they come up, and they have no intention of temptation at all, and they have resorted to fame and fame.
After a few back and forth, when the two separated again, a large amount of blood had been sprinkled in the field, the black scorpion arm spat blood, his left arm was almost broken at the root, and only a trace of red and white muscles were left, and the exposed bones of Bai Ccencen were shocking.
The Black Scorpion Arm becomes the Black Scorpion Severed Arm.
There was no suspense in the next battle, the outcome was obvious, and the loss of an arm was equivalent to abolishing most of the black scorpion arm, and the head was quickly ripped off by the bloodback maniac.
Raul's face remained unchanged after losing the first battle, and Doland, who was the victorious side, did not show a happy expression, the two were as calm as stones, and they didn't seem to take the competition to heart, and others couldn't guess what they were thinking in their hearts.
After the three parties exchanged their heads, this time Lauder sent his own master to challenge Doland's people.
Next, the three parties seemed to play a tacit game, and each took turns to send people to play, and the competition went on in an orderly manner.
At first, Gong Bing still had the heart to watch carefully, but after a few competitions, he became less interested and groggy.
"Gabriel, you're not really asleep, are you?"
Suddenly, someone was talking next to him, and Gong Bing immediately opened his eyes: "Oh, isn't it my turn yet, I feel a little bored, and I accidentally fell asleep." ”
Spike was a little speechless about Gong Bing's honesty, and the other people who were invited couldn't help but pout when they heard it, thinking that Gong Bing was pretending.
There is a life and death ring in front of him, and everyone will be sent out at any time, in this case, this guy can still sleep peacefully, I really don't know if he is too confident in himself or too big in his heart.
"Gabriel, we may have to play at any time, so it's better for you to keep your spirits up, if you're not careful, you'll lose your life." Spike advises.
"Thank you, I know in my heart, if I can fight, I will fight, and if I can't beat, I will run." Gong Bing patted Spike on the shoulder and lit himself a cigarette to refresh himself.
You must know that most of the people present have never met each other, and they can't talk about friendship at all, and only Spike is kind enough to remind him that no one else cares about his life or death.
At this time, Gong Bing was sleepy-eyed and still nonchalant, obviously not listening to Spike's words.
Seeing that Gong Bing was so young, most people shook their heads secretly, and couldn't help but slander in their hearts, wondering why Raul invited him over, half a child, his hair didn't grow together, what use could he do except to send him to death?
"Gabriel, this is a life-and-death fight, it's not like you can retreat if you want to, even if you want to admit defeat, the other party has to agree." Spike said, looking at the other man strangely, thinking that Gong Bing was taking it for granted.
Now there have been many rounds of competition on the field, and all but two people who survived were killed on the spot.
"Can't you throw in the towel? That's who sets the rules, that's not what Alice told me. Gong Bing frowned and said.
"It's not that I didn't mention it, I didn't say it at all." Alice interjected.
"It's not a hard and fast rule." Spike shook his head, "You know, who can be invited here to help in boxing, who is not a famous master?" If it weren't for the promise of a reward that they couldn't refuse, where would they be willing to die for others and fight here for their lives?
So although there is no explicit agreement, everyone knows in their hearts, even if it is only for that reward, they will go all out, even if they risk their lives. ”
"And this kind of thing? If you die below. Gong Bing pointed down and said, at this time, there were two people on the field fighting fiercely: "Then isn't this reward just a waste, what's the use?" ”
"As long as you do your best, even if you die in battle, someone will accept this reward for you." Spike's expression was indifferent, there was a hint of coldness in his eyes, and he said lightly: "This is written in black and white in the contract, Christie is a top famous family in Tutlan, with huge power and good reputation, I believe they will not break their promise, this is more than worth the loss for them." ”
Spike's other meaning is that the Christie family will not lose their trust, but it is not so easy to take advantage of them if they want to get something for nothing.
At this time, Alice, who had been sitting next to Gong Bing, reached out and pulled him,
"Gabriel, you are different from others, you just need to do what you can, if you don't feel like an opponent in the competition, you can quickly admit defeat."
Gong Bing took a puff of cigarette and nodded noncommittally, he didn't know what kind of reward others could get, but both of them knew very well in their hearts that the rewards that Alice had promised him were not enough for him to do his best.
But Spike didn't know this, this was a transaction between the other two people, it was a personal privacy, and he couldn't ask rashly, so after hearing Alice's words, he felt a little surprised, and couldn't understand why Gong Bing was treated specially.
Could it be that Alice is interested in Gong Bing? Spike couldn't help but guess.
All kinds of bloody and sadistic plots flashed through Spike's mind, but these thoughts had just risen in his mind, and they were quickly denied by him one by one.
Because if Gong Bing is really her sweetheart and little boyfriend, how could Alice let him get involved?
What a big heart?
You must know that your fists and feet have no eyes, and you can't retreat if you want to quit during the competition, even if you are a master, in the duel of life and death, you may capsize in the gutter at any time.
