Chapter 1: Trapped Beasts, Desperate
When he opened his eyes, it was already dawn, and the deep hunger made Wei Qian reluctant to wake up. At the very least, when he is asleep, he can make the impact of the suffering in this world less severe.
The boy was wrapped in rags, his hair was unkempt, his face was dirty, and his lips were chapped, and apart from his bright and clear eyes, he could not see the vigor that he should have at his age.
The dilapidated earthen house, the rotten wooden door that couldn't block the wind, Wei Qian looked at this place he called a writer in despair, his heart was very bitter, and he couldn't help but sigh.
On the other side, the mother and sister also seemed to wake up, looking at Wei Qianjue who was about to push the door out, her mother quickly took out two steamed buns from the iron pot in the corner of the room and stuffed them into Wei Qianjue's arms and said, "When you go outside, you must be careful in everything, don't cause trouble, take care of yourself." ”
looked at the steamed bun in his arms, and then looked at his sister who had woken up, and saw the little girl curled up in the corner of the wall looking at the steamed bun in his hand and swallowing saliva, Wei Qianjue's heart trembled, put down the steamed bun in his hand and said, "Leave it to my sister, Zhao Gongzi has been taking care of me before, not to mention that I am working in the dining room, I can't be hungry, don't worry." ”
After that, Wei Qianjue pushed the door out, and the dazzling sun shone on him and he didn't know where to go.
His mother once told him that his father was a powerful cultivator, and his mother was just an ordinary person, and since the two of them had him and his sister, his father disappeared, and there was no news, his mother was very beautiful, and his charm still existed at this age, so it can be seen that he was also shocking when he was young, and some people persuaded his mother to remarry, but his mother always refused, she always thought that his father had too many enemies, and she was afraid of affecting them, so she never came back.
For so many years, there have been many people who have come to bully their family, and he has already seen what evil is when he is young, what is hot and cold in the world, and a piece of steamed bread has to be broken in half and eaten. The mother can't go out to make a living, there are always people who are teasing, my sister is still too young, and the livelihood of the whole family is on Wei Qianjue.
Sometimes, he hated his father so much, and his mother told him that the world of practitioners was very vast and magical, so he felt that his father had forgotten them a long time ago, and he didn't know where to live happily. What are they?
The deep hunger pulled him back from his thoughts, he had never been to Zhao Gongzi's house as a husband, that kind of good errand had to spend money to hire someone to recruit him, he was in danger? Heh, don't think about it. No one uses him for normal errands, who looks weak, so he just says it to reassure his mother and sister.
So he had no choice but to gamble and rob, what to gamble on? Grab what? Grab your life.
There is a casino under the Thousand Machines City, called the Storm Building, the biggest feature is to gamble on human life, in this world where human life is like a mustard, it is not surprising.
The rich people spend money to bet on their favorite gamblers, and these outlaws will be put into the cage of the beast and betrayed to each other, and the last five people in the five pillars of incense will be the winner! Of course, if only one survives, the reward for the five will all be the last person to survive. But it can also be a meal for the beast.
Wei Qianjue touched the marks on his body that had been scratched by a wolf, and the wound had already scabbed. I secretly decided in my heart that for the sake of his mother and sister, he must also resist the past.
He hadn't dealt with a fierce beast above five stars before, he was a wolf or a leopard before, but this time it was different, this time the beast cage was locked up with an untamed armored crocodile bear. It is said that this is no longer an ordinary fierce beast, it can be regarded as a mutant beast that has touched the threshold of the demonic beast, especially if it is untamed, the ferocity can be imagined.
After crossing a few streets, Wei Qianjue stopped in front of a seemingly normal blacksmith shop, which was the entrance to the underground casino.
"Hey, Qianjue, have you thought about it, that is a mutated armored crocodile bear, don't you want to die?" One of them patted him on the shoulder from behind him.
You don't have to look back at Wei Qianjue to know that it is Zuo Junjie's guy, this is the only friend of Wei Qianjue in this city.
Last time on the side of the street with a group of hob meat to grab some of the silver that others gave him and was almost killed, this guy happily jumped out from behind to stun the group of people, originally Wei Qianjue was very grateful to this person who helped him, but then it was not, he took half of the silver, and when he left, he also left a sentence "Alas, it's a little little, I should have let him be beaten for a while, maybe I'll give it all to me as soon as I'm grateful." ”
At this point, Wei Qianjue also knew this Zuo Junjie, fooling around every day, and it was also because of Wei Qianjue that he knew about this underground casino and its entrance.
"Don't worry, you're not dead, I'm sure I'm alive and well. He pouted, and he was in danger.
"Hey, people over there, take off your shirts and go in as soon as you're done. A man in the blacksmith's shop who seemed to be in charge of the accounts said.
Wei Qianjue and Zuo Junjie glanced at each other, they were used to it, in order to let the people on the viewing platform see how many numbers in order to place bets, they had to draw the entry number on the back.
The two have participated in several competitions before, and they are all thrilling, but there are always scars on their bodies. But Zuo Junjie's body has obviously more scars than Wei Qianjue, and his figure is much stronger than him, and he is also extremely handsome.
"What are you looking at, don't be sluggish, could it be that you two have to have another shot before you die?" The middle-aged man said in a weird way.
The two of them didn't talk nonsense anymore, walked through the secret door of the store, finished drawing the game number, were blindfolded by the two big men, and stopped after walking a long way down with them.
Wei Qianjue is already familiar with this process, and he can also know where they walked in from, and doing so is to go through the process.
This is the place where the players are resting, and before the two of them came in, there were already many people waiting, and then several more people came in one after another.
The lounge can't be said to be spacious, but it's not crowded, everyone who looks at others is very vigilant, basically some outlaws, and the atmosphere is extremely heavy, because the most terrifying thing is not the fierce beasts, but these kind of people who can give you a knife at any time for the silver behind their backs.
At this time, Zuo Junjie had an elbow and crutched and said, "See, look at the corner of that person's pants." Wei Qianjue's eyes suddenly stared, looking at a middle-aged man with a scar on his right eye, even through the layer of cloth, he could see that there was a flaky thing there, and that strong muscles, maybe he was a practitioner.
Knife!
"Isn't it forbidden to carry weapons without permission?" Wei Qianjue's heart tightened and asked.
"The alligator bear is different from the usual petty fights, do you think everyone is like you and has no preparation?" Zuo Junjie looked at him like an idiot.
As he spoke, Zuo Junjie handed a boning knife from behind and gave it to Wei Qianjue.
Wei Qian silently hid the knife in his calf.
"How did you bring it in? Didn't you search your body just now, and if you find it, you will definitely die. Wei Qianjue narrowed his eyes and asked in a low voice.
"Just in case, don't be afraid, mess with my brother. Zuo Junjie said happily.
Maybe it's to relieve the pressure in his dangerous heart. After all, it's not easy for anyone to get a bite to eat.
As soon as Wei Qianjue wanted to go back, the lounge began to rise slowly.
The two looked at each other, and they were about to begin.
The lounge slowly ascended, rising one floor after another, each floor holding a different level of fierce beasts.
Wei Qianjue looked at these fierce beasts in amazement, ignoring their fangs and looking directly into their eyes.
Angry, unwilling, bloodthirsty, helpless. That low roar went deep into the soul. At this time, Wei Qianjue was not afraid once, this kind of eyes were very familiar, he had seen it in the mirror, as if it was ...... It's as if it's who you are.
The same gloom, the same unwillingness, the same helplessness, the same hysteria from the soul!
