Chapter 36: Bright Red Petals
Sitting on the edge of the bed, Xia Xiao looked at Shu Shuang's little face, crossed his fingers, pondered for a long time, blew out the candle, and walked out of the door firmly.
Yinghu, I'm coming!
Rongcheng at night is not as dead and silent as Longgang, and the lights are bright everywhere. The people here have a rich and diverse nightlife. But if you want to say that the most eye-catching existence in the building is still the Golden Gate Martial Arts City.
Wudou City was full of colorful lights, and the people in it came and went, happily discussing their bet objects and amounts, and also thinking about what they should do after they became rich. The few people who walked into it were the participants, with their faces low at this point, as if they were about to die.
Xia Xiao was dressed in a shabby cloth coat and also stepped up the steps.
"Hey!"
The female voice beside her made Xia Xiao look sideways, it was the woman before!
It's really annoying, Xia Xiao frowned, didn't want to pay attention to her, just continued to move forward, but the latter gave a note.
"Huh?"
The tall woman quickly returned to her place, smiling and greeting the visitors. Most of the viewers who come here are gold owners, which can make Wudoucheng make a lot of money, but sometimes they also need to be coquettish and seduced. No matter who it is, as long as you enter the martial arts city and are infected by the atmosphere inside, you will involuntarily bet. The more bets they placed, the happier they became! But the outcome of today's brawl has already been decided!
On both sides of the steps were guards standing in a row, and in order to prevent them from becoming suspicious, Xia Xiao held the note in his hand and walked into the Martial Arts City before opening it. The words on the note are very delicate, not like what the woman wrote, but the words on it are indeed like what she did.
"After you get on the field, throw away the number plate, stick a knife in your right arm, lie down at the entrance of the entrance, don't make a sound, others won't hurt you!"
Xia Xiao thought it was, but it turned out to be an "unspoken rule" in the martial arts arena. He knew this kind of thing, but the person who really killed the red eye was more cruel than a beast, and he wouldn't care about this kind of rule, and he couldn't use it.
After showing the number plate, Xia Xiao walked into the right passage that he had entered during the day, and reached out to burn the note, leaving no trace. Under the empty eyes of the skull, Xia Xiao quickly left, leaving only a tongue of fire.
After checking again in front of the counter, Xia Xiao and many contestants entered the lounge next to the counter. The lights were dim inside, and there were rows of chairs below, on which sat hundreds of people, most of them with solemn expressions.
Xia Xiao came in without attracting anyone's attention, they all looked at the ceiling, or the ground, waiting for death. There are also groups among these contestants, who are leaning together at this time and discussing enthusiastically.
"Brothers, don't be afraid, as long as we unite, protect ourselves at first, and then kill those three brutes, we will definitely win!"
"As long as we sell the Yinghu, it will be enough for us to spend a lifetime! We must be careful, we can't be separated. ”
"Follow me in a while, ten of us brothers, come in alive together, and get out alive together!"
Forty-one said with great interest, and seemed to be able to win when he looked at his brothers. All we have to do now is wait for the time to pass.
Sitting in an inconspicuous corner, Xia Xiao waited for the opening. He had already figured out how to deal with this, so he didn't act particularly anxious, just touched his chest, and it hurt a little!
The young man in front of the cabinet during the day walked in and shouted.
"Enter in five minutes!"
Hurried shouts broke the silence, everyone looked up and down, and the atmosphere was solemn again.
"It's over, it's over, it's over......"
The man next to him was shaking his legs violently, and his crotch was still a little wet. Xia Xiao glanced at it, and couldn't help but wonder when he saw that timid face, was he as short of money as his previous self? Or was there something else unspeakable? If he was afraid, why did he come? If he came, he couldn't leave!
Suddenly, the man got up. There were three passages in this room, both of which were currently closed, and he had to go back the way he came. But as soon as he went out, he was pushed back by several heavily armed guards.
The man who fell to the ground knelt and kowtowed vigorously.
"Please, let me go!
Under the hysterical voice, the only passage had been blocked by the guards, who were holding sharp knives and guns in their hands, which were the consequences of the men's trouble.
Seeing that there was no hope, the man pounded the wall like a frenzy.
"No matter how noisy it is, it will be dealt with according to the rules!"
The young man stood behind the guard and shouted again, so frightened that the man hugged his leg and cried bitterly, but he did not dare to make a sound.
There was scoffing around, but the more guys like this, the better. Xia Xiao also thinks so, but it doesn't exist, there are many guys who are holding their breath and concentrating, and they will show their fierce side when they get on the stage.
Another quarter of an hour passed, and the time was almost up. The Director arrived, opened two doors, and shouted:
"Warriors, put on your number plates and get ready to play!"
Xia Xiao followed dozens of people into the passage on the right, and then selected weapons in a gloomy room.
The weapons used in the martial arts arena can only be selected here, so he didn't bring a sword and a dagger, but these rusty knives and blunt swords are useless at all. But I was still robbed by others, and my slow hands were gone. There are limited weapons, but there are many people!
Throwing a knife aside in disdain, this bloodstained and rusty thing can fight?
A helmet rolled around at everyone's feet, Xia Xiao picked it up and put it on properly.
Xia Xiao looked around, everyone was eager to try, but the weapons in their hands were not good. In the martial arts arena, the weapon is too critical, and Xia Xiao now needs a shield to prevent other people's hidden arrows and sneak attacks from behind!
"There it is!"
The corners of his mouth under the helmet hooked, and Xia Xiao leaned in the direction of the wall. There were two axes on it, a round shield that shone silver in the candlelight, and it should be sharp and hard enough.
Taking advantage of everyone's inattention, Xia Xiao took off the ornament and rubbed the soil on the ground before wearing it on his arm.
The right hand knocked on the shield on the left arm, which is really good, but the accessories here are more practical than the weapons provided, which is really funny!
Standing in the crowd, Xia Xiao tried not to attract the attention of others as much as possible, but the shield full of gray that he rubbed still flashed silver.
"Hey!"
The steward screamed, causing Xia Xiao's heart to palpitate, oops!
Seeing him coming, Xia Xiao frowned, if he was discovered, it would be over, and it was estimated that he would be disqualified and fined a sum of money!
"Tonight's 100-man brawl is about to begin, and we have invited our No. 1 player - General Yum! No. 2 player - Killer Demon, and No. 3 player - Humanoid Chariot!"
The loud sound was very penetrating, and it was still a little deafening when it reached the room, followed by a sea of cries. The night's bets excite the audience more than the day's toil.
After a pause, the steward who heard the call smacked his tongue and opened the iron gate of the entrance on one side.
"Get ready!"
After the steward finished speaking, the loud voice came again.
"Audience, now we have one hundred and thirty-two and eight players invited to enter......"
"Fast forward!"
The steward snorted, as if he were driving a herd of livestock, but the crowd was obedient.
"There are condemned prisoners, thieves and robbers, unforgivable bandits, and some civilians. But we swear that everyone here is volunteering, so now, grab your single ticket and keep betting! Except for No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3, will there be any dark horses today? Let's wait and see-"
Under the high voice, Xia Xiao walked towards the entrance.
Compared to the darkness around them, the strong colored light there was terrifying. And the unwashed red steps, dyed with the blood of countless people, connect the darkest of the world and hell!
Having come to this point, there is no way back. The ubiquitous guards pushed the crowd into the arena, lest they would repent, cause unnecessary panic, and disrupt the process.
Xia Xiao didn't need them to urge, he ran up the steps directly and passed by Steward Bin.
The colorful light in front of him confused Xia Xiao's eyes, causing him to squint, and then looked around the hundred-meter-wide martial arts arena.
The sand on the ground slowed them down, the blades on the walls around them reminded them that there was no way back, and the iron cage above their heads with an iron ball hanging from it was heavy.
In the center of the martial arts arena, the three people wearing the number plate were each at a distance, the one holding the big sword was No. 1, the No. 2 was holding a scimitar with both hands, and the No. 3 was carrying two axes, murderous. The three different male lions are about to compete with each other, but until then, they will prioritize the hyenas around them. The blood of these useless creatures will make their fists clenched tighter, and their swords will be painted with blood.
The iron door of the entrance was closed, and the deep squeak sounded like a demon chewing life, causing Xia Xiao to glance back. He didn't have a good impression of the martial arts arena at this time, and he was even more disgusted at this time, and it was really outrageous to bet on his life with money. These spectators should be allowed to go to the battlefield again, they will be afraid, the sword will take their lives and blood mercilessly!
Keeping a distance from everyone, Xia Xiao stood on the side of the entrance, stuck two axes in the sand, and then half-squatted on the ground. This battle is different from the past, many people here don't have accurate enemies, so he has to wait, don't fight as much as possible in the front, and wait until the middle and late stages, which is the moment when he breaks out!
Although he was not nervous, Xia Xiao still slowly sweated a drop. The audience in the audience was extremely excited, discussing, and eagerly waiting for the start of the meeting. The warriors find their targets, and if they blow the whistle, they will suffer each other!
In the martial arts arena, only when everyone falls is considered a pause, it is possible that one second is the world, and the next second is hell. Therefore, Xia Xiao didn't dare to relax his vigilance, and always watched his surroundings, his sweat dripped down his cheeks on the sand, and was evaporated in the blink of an eye.
"Guests, don't talk much, I guess you're as anxious as I am, so keep your eyes open, grab your tickets, and get ready to enjoy this battle! Who will be the winner today? Let's wait and see!"
"Countdown, three-"
The iron cage is a dividing line, with a beast holding money on the outside and a person acting as a chess card inside. When the large iron ball overhead gradually opened, blood-red petals sprinkled down, opening the curtain of pretended elegance for this battle.
"Two—"
The fluttering petals slowly fell, but the warriors had no intention of appreciating it.
"One-go!"
As soon as the host's shrill whistle sounded, the three people in the center of the field took steps in different directions, raised the sand, and began to kill! Although he didn't come towards Xia Xiao's side, his eyes were fixed and he felt the edge of the sword.
