Chapter 190: Sudden Death?
The location of the gladiatorial arena is not remote, but it is no longer within the scope of the town, a forest that does not belong to the city scenery separates the two, Li Zhi and his party walked through the forest for a short time, and walked not far from the gladiatorial arena.
It was an above-ground building made of loess masonry, with a circular appearance, which is a bit like the Colosseum if you look for a reference in memory, but it is only about appearance.
It occupies a large area, and is particularly visually striking compared to underground buildings whose size cannot be seen from the outside.
There are some windows on the loess wall, and when Li Zhi saw this building, the first thing that came to mind was the Hakka earthen fort he saw when he went out to travel.
There was no door on the side facing Li Zhi, and two dirt roads that stood out in the weeds surrounded the earthen fort with footprints deeply seared into it, extending to the other side of it.
After coming out of the woods, some voices and objects increased, and next to the earthen wall, Li Zhi could still hear the sound of iron tools colliding inside, thinking of what this earthen fort was, and probably guessing what was going on inside.
Walking in the direction of the main entrance, you can see a graceful woman carrying a pottery outside.
While no one else had any superfluous thoughts about it, Li Zhi stared at the woman who was walking into the distance.
After a few more steps, he kicked a stone and took his gaze back.
Unfortunately, the stone happened to hit Domino's ankle under one of his feet, and he looked back just in time to see someone retracting his gaze.
Without much intersection, he nodded and continued walking.
There are a lot of people at the front of the main entrance.
Some were ready to go out to hunt, and some came back from outside with their prey.
It's just that what attracts Li Zhi and his party is not these daily trivialities.
There was some argument between a group of men at the entrance of the gladiatorial arena, and three of them were red-faced, pulling their necks and shouting loudly.
Li Zhi, who has a local memory, could easily hear that the accents of the three people did not look like locals, but the way he spoke made him a little inexplicably familiar, as if he had met a human with the same accent as them not long ago.
I just can't remember it for a while.
The three people who almost lost their minds had too much logic in their language, so they picked up the person who seemed to be an official response, and listened: "It's all said that no one is allowed to enter these days!" Even if your brother dies there, you won't be able to go in!" Now if you go in, you will be sent to death! β
"It's not your family that's dying! It's definitely not you who are in a hurry here now! The man in anger ignored the dissuasion of the person in front of him, but in a fit of rage pulled out the mace hanging from his waist.
That thing weighs more than ten pounds, and in addition to the hammer head with the highest proportion, there is also a counterweight bead hanging from the tail of the hammer handle to prevent imbalance when hanging on the waist.
There were also a number of red spots on the hammer head, which looked like the remnants of a liquid that had dried up, and in addition to these blood stains, there were also many scratches.
There are definitely a lot of creatures that have died under this hammerhead.
Although the owner of the hammer pulled it out, he still didn't kill it in the end - probably because there were too many people around here, so many that Li Zhi felt that something was wrong.
As far as he knew, it was absolutely impossible for the Colosseum to have so many people in normal times, and judging from the conversation just now, it seemed that it was locked down?
While looking at the people gathering at the gate, some of them also looked at the people who had come out of the city.
Just as they were about to get closer, a group of well-armed swordsmen drew their weapons and approached them, "Stand still!" Don't come closer! β
Behind the swordsman, several archers had drawn their bows and arrows.
Domino's body tensed as if reflexively.
"Are you the ones who came out of it?" Someone at the front asked first, but when he looked at the faces of several people, he immediately realized that he had asked a stupid question.
Of the four, the other three except Domino cleaned the marks on their faces
At the sound of an order, the archer who had just drawn the bow behind the swordsman immediately stepped forward, knelt on the ground in half a step, and launched a volley at Li Zhi and his party.
Shooting: Bow Checkγ19γ87γ76/55γ
Evasion Check: [Domino: 41/80, 6/63, 18/55]
[Li Zhi: "Unknown anomaly"]
In addition to the first round of shooting, the other two rounds of shooting either missed the direction or mistook the shooting sequence, resulting in a hollow sound, but the arrow fell in place.
There was even a gurgling sound from the bow of one of them.
The commander who had previously commanded the archery covered his face before the first round of arrows was fired, muttering in a voice that no one could hear, "I said a long time ago, don't let these recruits take their bows!" β
Dealing with this rain of arrows...... Except for Domino, who had spent a little more effort dealing with the stray arrows, which was actually reflexively sideways, the other two even had time to look at the rain of arrows that had been thrown into the middle of nowhere, and they didn't even have to move.
Li Zhi's situation here is more special - he did see an arrow shooting towards him, and this will probably be the most accurate arrow.
It's a pity that when the archer took the bow, Li Zhi was already prepared, and he had already reacted the moment the opponent shot.
However, in the face of that cold light, he saw a corner of another wonderful world from the white light of the tip of the arrow for no reason.
This stunned moment happened, and for a moment he still had time to dodge the off-string arrow.
Halfway to the side, he saw the arrow slash across his chest, a trail of pain spreading from under the flesh it had stumbled upon in its flight path.
But I managed to dodge this arrow.
When he was afraid to gasp for air, he found QK screaming in shock.
"Li Zhi!!"
Li Zhi, who thought that someone else had been hit by an arrow, turned around, but found that no one was injured.
It's just that they all look at themselves in horror or fear.
"What else to see! Run!! β
Not understanding why these people stopped suddenly, Li Zhi shouted, and immediately turned around and ran back.
He didn't forget to look back to see if his friends were running back with him.
At this time, he realized that time seemed to pass very slowly, very slowly.
It's as if everything is frozen.
Only you can move freely.
And in the same position where he was just now, a person who was exactly the same as himself was standing.
An arrow pierced his chest, and some flesh hung from the tip of the arrow.
How is this ......?!
He hadn't figured out what was going on, but after accepting the illusion he was seeing, a white light flickered in front of him.
* You woke up from a nightmare.
