Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Arena
Crying, howling, screaming......
Chu Hai woke up, he didn't open his eyes immediately, he closed his eyes and felt his condition. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"I was knocked unconscious by a sneak attack, and now I should have been imprisoned by the orcs, there is no obvious pain, I am not injured, but I am restricted from moving." After figuring out his situation, Chu Hai opened his eyes.
He was held in a wooden cage that was hung high in the air, the cage was made of thick wood, Chu Hai was sure to break the wood and escape from the cage, but reason told him that it was better not to do so.
Looking around, he saw more than a dozen of the same cages, each of which contained a person, Chu Hai looked at these people, judging from the uniforms they were wearing, most of them were policemen and armed police.
Below the dozen or so cages, there is a huge water prison, there are more than 1,000 people in the water prison, Chu Hai found Chen Zhangchu and the old dean from them, they were looking at Chu Hai who was locked in a half-empty cage, Chen Zhangchu opened his mouth and said something, but there were too many people around, and the sound was too noisy, he couldn't hear what Chen Zhangchu was saying at all, and he could only learn the lip language skills to identify.
"Brother Hai, are you okay?"
This is what Chen Zhangchu said to Chu Hai, and after repeating it twice, Chu Hai understood.
Chu Hai raised his right hand and made a movement to show his muscles, this is an action he often did to Chen Zhangchu when he was a child, and Chen Zhangchu was relieved to see this action.
Putting his middle finger to his mouth and making a silent motion, Chu Hai motioned for Chen Zhangchu to calm down, Chen Zhangchu obediently did so, and Chu Hai also began to observe the surrounding situation again.
In the vicinity of the water dungeon, there are many orcs holding various wooden weapons staring at the humans in the water dungeon, they don't care about the shouts and roars of these humans at all, these orcs are similar to the first orc killed by Chu Hai, shorter than humans, simple wooden weapons, this is Chu Hai's definition of ordinary orcs, and it is also the most common type of orcs.
Not far from the water prison, there is a platform, there are six men beating each other on the platform, Chu Hai carefully observed for a while, he found that these men all have more or less fighting skills, they seem to be fighting in groups of three, and to Chu Hai's surprise, they are not for the purpose of separating the winner and loser, the purpose of their confrontation is to decide life and death!
"Are you awake?" There was a man in the cage not far from Chu Hai, this man looked no more than thirty years old, his appearance was mediocre, and his biggest feature was his bald head.
"Well, what are they doing?" Chu Hai asked towards the bald man.
"Can't you see? They all want each other dead. The bald man's tone was calm, as if this was a normal thing.
"I know, I'm asking, why are they doing this?" Chu Hai looked at the few people on the platform who were merciless to each other, and his brows furrowed.
"Why? Hehe, it's either to be killed by someone else or to kill someone else, how do you choose? The bald man snorted and smiled.
"You mean, the orcs forced them to kill each other?" Chu Hai reacted quickly.
The bald man nodded and said, "Orcs?" That's a very appropriate name, they are indeed a group of beasts, yes, the orcs force these people to kill each other, they only have five minutes, and in five minutes, they will either kill the other three or be killed by the other three, is it very similar to the Colosseum in ancient Rome? We're being treated like beasts now, bastards! ”
Speaking of anger, the bald man punched the cage in front of him, but this punch had no effect other than making the cage shake even more.
"What if, in five minutes, all of them are alive?" Chu Hai thought of another possibility, killing people with bare hands was not an easy task.
"In five minutes, a team of orcs will be in the cage, and if there are still people standing on both sides, these orcs will not just come to collect the corpses, they will kill everyone who remains." The bald man said coldly.
Chu Hai stopped talking, these orcs were indeed vicious, forcing humans to kill each other in this way, and in the face of the orcs' toughness and rudeness, it was impossible for thin humans to resist.
"You're special!" The bald man spoke again.
"What?" Chu Hai didn't understand why the bald man said that.
"We tens of thousands of people were all arrested in the same batch, I have a little impression of you, obviously you were sent to the arena at the same time, but it took you more than ten days to be sent to this cage?" The bald man said slowly.
Chu Hai asked suspiciously, "Ten days?" It turns out that I have been in a coma for more than ten days? What does this mean? ”
"You should see these goddamn cages, right? The people in these cages are all ordinary people, and you have some kung fu, right? Those of us who are stronger than ordinary people will be held in solitary confinement, we are just taken to a ghost place, met a few orcs with different appearances and then locked up here, and you, it took a dozen days to be sent here, so I say you are very special! The bald man looked Chu Hai up and down, and that look made Chu Hai very uncomfortable.
"In the past ten days, every day there will be a lot of people selected from the water prison to duel, every group of three, and sometimes from those of us who are held alone, the water prison originally held more than 10,000 people, now, I'm afraid there are less than two thousand, most of them were killed by the orcs because they didn't complete the duel for more than five minutes, and some of them survived by killing their opponents." The bald man didn't seem to have spoken for a long time, and he told Chu Hai everything he knew.
"What about you, have you ever participated in a duel?" Chu Hai suddenly asked the bald man.
The bald man shook his head and said, "Those who have participated in the duel will be sent to another place, I haven't participated yet, but sooner or later." ”
Chu Hai nodded, he saw that the bald man's eyes had changed a little, he looked in the direction where the bald man was staring, an orc threw something on the platform, Chu Hai fixed his eyes, it was a few polished bones, the tips were sharpened narrow and sharp, and they were the weapons distributed by the orcs to these people.
On both sides of the platform were stands full of orcs, and the orcs cheered at the sight of the weapons appearing on the platform.
"In the past ten days, we have been fighting with our bare hands, and now that we have weapons, it will only be more violent and bloody, these beasts are so happy!" The bald man gritted his teeth and punched the cage again.
After having a weapon, although it was only a rudimentary weapon, it was much easier to kill the other party, and soon, several people on the platform divided the victory and defeat, and in the end, only one person survived, but he was also scarred.
Soon a few ordinary orcs opened the fence door of the platform, they entered the platform, and threw the corpses to the stands, the orcs on the platform took the corpses and actually gathered together to eat them, but in a few minutes, the corpses were already only skeletons, and several orcs dismantled the bones, sucking the bones with relish!
Treat humans as animals, as entertainment tools, as food! Chu Hai gritted his teeth fiercely, his nails deeply embedded in the wood.
The surviving man, drenched in blood, nodded and smiled at the orcs, causing the orcs on the platform and in the stands to laugh, and he was taken off the platform, and soon, six more people were brought to the platform, and they were given the same bone spurs as weapons, still engaged in a brutal duel.
"If Chu Chu or the old dean is chosen...... Chu Hai couldn't help but think of Chen Zhangchu and the old dean in the water prison below, one of them is an old man in his last years, and the other is a weak girl, unless he is really lucky to meet a few children as opponents, there is really no chance of winning, and Chu Hai also understands that whether it is the old dean or Chen Zhangchu, they are all ruthless people.
"I must keep them!" Chu Hai clenched his fists, the old dean and Chen Zhangchu were both very important people to him, he couldn't watch them die, Chu Hai began to look around, thinking about countermeasures.
"If you want to escape, you better dispel this idea, many people have already tried, and they have only one result, they were thrown into the stands and torn to pieces and eaten by those savage orcs!" The bald man reminded Chu Hai after seeing his movements and expression.
"Is there any way I want to keep my family?" Thinking that the bald man had watched the duel for more than ten days, Chu Hai asked him.
The bald man thought for a moment and said, "Yes, those of us who have been locked up alone have a privilege, we can freely choose a team of three, but the opponent is not these people, but a team of five orcs, several people have tried, but only one team has succeeded." ”
"Hey! We're going to challenge you! Put us down! As soon as the bald man told Chu Hai this, a person in the cage in the distance shouted at the orcs below.
"Let him down!" The orc who spoke wore a helmet with gray feathers, it was taller than a normal orc, and it also had gray hair of the same color as the helmet feathers, and it seemed to be the small leader of the arena.
"Human, are you going to challenge the great orc warriors?" The gray-haired orc stepped forward and grabbed the man's clothes.
"That's right! I'm going to challenge you! The man's emotions were very excited, and he opened the gray-haired orc's arm, grabbed his arm, and then pointed to the water dungeon, "I'm going to choose my companion!" ”
The gray-haired orc was not angry at the man's excitement, and it smiled cruelly: "Go, go and choose the unlucky guy who will die with you!" ”
The man walked up to the water prison, he pointed to a woman and another little girl, the two of them were released from the water prison by the orcs, and the three of them hugged each other, it seemed that this should be a family of three.
The cannibalism of the six people who had come to power before was over, and the orcs went up to dispose of the corpses, and brought the victorious people out of the platform, and then, they walked into the platform with the family of three.
