Chapter 37: The Colosseum
"It's an underground casino, and it's probably not quite accurate to say it's a casino, it's a gladiatorial arena. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info," John introduced to Xun Dan and Lucy.
"The Colosseum? It seems that this kind of thing only exists in the legends of ancient Rome, right? ā
"Actually, no, this kind of blood-boiling sport has continued to this day, but many gladiatorial arenas have been transferred to the ground, and only here can you see real gladiators."
"Shows like WWE Pro Wrestling, which people usually see, are just shows made to please the public."
"So bloody stuff is a show? Don't make a fuss, I think they're all playing with their lives. Xun Dan couldn't believe that those guys who licked blood at the tip of the knife were acting, and couldn't help but question.
"Yes, they're playing with their lives, and here...... Gladiators were desperate. ā
"Not every life-and-death fight has a certain ornamentation, often it is the most effective way to survive, look at it, and you will soon know what a real gladiator is."
After a while, two people who looked like staff came to the venue.
Two rudimentary posters were displayed in their hands, each with a box in front of them.
John went on to introduce Xun Dan:
"That's where the bet begins, and those two posters are the gladiators of today."
is quite different from the gladiators in Xun Dan's imagination, the two people in today's decisive battle do not have the explosive muscles of Spartacus, do not have a handsome appearance and deep eyes, on the contrary, they are both a little thin.
"This ......"
"What is this? Looks weak? ā
"yes, that's it, I think they're almost all weak chickens! I'm afraid I can handle it. ā
Xun Dan is not overly arrogant, after special training, he has no problem dealing with a few adult strong men under normal circumstances.
"You? Don't make a fuss, any one of them can take my life in three seconds, let alone you. John glanced at Xun Dan and said disdainfully.
"What? Three seconds? How is this possible? ā
John's strength Xun Dan understands, if you want to make a move, I am afraid that several of them are not John's opponents, the strength like a brute bull makes Xun Dan still fresh in his memory, but from John's serious face, Xun Dan can see that he is not lying.
"The thin man on the left should be better." Lucy, the "little sister" who had not spoken, finally spoke.
"Okay, let's press the skinny." Without hesitation, John stepped forward and placed the money in the box in front of the thin man on his left.
"This ...... Isn't it a little too sloppy? I think the money you just invested should be a lot, right? ā
Xun Dan found that John directly put three small stacks of money in the box, and that stack of money looked like it was at least a thousand yuan.
"The rules here are a bit peculiar, the bets are placed in boxes, and the amount is one unit per thousand, which means that we now have a chip for each of them."
"That's too hasty, isn't it? Three thousand meters of gold thrown into it for so long? You must know that in ordinary people's families, three thousand meters of gold is enough for my income in Xia Kingdom for several months. ā
Xun Dan still thinks that it is too hasty to throw out three thousand meters of gold directly.
"You know, I chose my sister just now? How could it be impossible to lose. Lucy chuckled.
"Are you absolutely sure?"
"Silly brother, I am completely sure how my sister can only throw in three thousand meters of gold, but there is still some winning rate."
"From the movements of the two people holding the poster, it can be seen that the person on the left is quite afraid of the person on the poster, while the one on the right has a trace of pity in his eyebrows, as if he can't bear to see the one in his hand go to die."
Lucy gave Xun Dan a detailed introduction, so that Xun Dan had an in-depth understanding of her guess.
The more she understood, the more Xun Dan respected Lucy, but she didn't expect that she could judge the fighting strength of the two competitors just by a little expression of the two.
Just then, John interjected.
"If you had said that before, I would have pressed it a little more. You know, just the identity of the thin man on the left should make me believe that he has the ability to live. ā
"Could it be that he still has some noble status?"
"By the way, see the brown collar around his neck?"
"Yes."
"This brown collar full of thorns is one of the characteristics of their gladiators, and carrying it means that they have a common identity...... The Abyssal One. ā
"The Abyssal? What the hell is this? Why did this thing suddenly appear, could it be that he was a person from the abyss? ā
"That's right, I suspect that these abyssal beings are from the Underground Kingdom, and each of the bearers of these collars has a heart as strong as a beast."
Just as John was in the mood to explain, a referee in a dark blue referee suit arrived in the middle of the field.
It can be seen that he is a little nervous at this time.
"Please come to the right side of our Triple Crown, and hope that he will continue to be our champion."
People began to cheer, and although the cheers continued, it could be felt that everyone's emotions did not seem to be too high.
"We have invited our new player, the challenger, to come to our left, he is one of our abyssal people, and I hope the two of them can bring us a gluttonous feast."
At this time, a boiling trend was finally revealed in the field.
Obviously, people are not particularly looking forward to the Triple Crown, but more to the newcomer who has just entered the gladiatorial arena, the Abyssal One.
He was wearing only a linen panty and looked shoddy.
The so-called panties are nothing more than a few strips of coarse cloth that are tied together as a little cover-up.
Next, there is the weapon extraction phase.
This stage set off a craze for the entire gladiatorial arena again.
What Xun Dan didn't expect was that the gladiator's weapon was not the main weapon that he loved, but one of the many weapons.
If the effectiveness of this weapon is low, then he will most likely be greeted with death.
The emaciated young man on the left gave priority, and he drew a palm-long bone dagger.
This bone dagger has been rubbed by people, and the light can be seen in the sharp edge, which makes people feel frightened.
This kind of bony weapon, originally made of the corpses of various beasts, is now used as a tool to deal with "beasts", so it naturally seems relatively normal.
When it came to the stage of the Triple Crown to choose weapons, no one expected that the reward he drew turned out to be just a zucchini.
There was a shrill laugh in the field, as if to say, this gladiator with zucchini in his hand, it seems that his luck today is not very good, and if he does not withdraw in time, then he will probably be taken sideways.
