Chapter 6: The Ring
With the closure of the barren forest, the number of people here has quickly decreased, and many people who came to the barren forest to hunt for treasure have returned to other places in vain, and Araki City has returned to its former desertion after a month of prosperity.
Today was a little different, only today was a little different, and many people were rushing to the center of the city, as if there was something there that attracted them.
Yue Yi had already returned to his normal complexion, at this time he was in rags, his purple and black clothes were slightly dirty, and there was still a peculiar smell on his body, and he was walking barefoot on the street, trying to beg for some food.
It's just that unlike in the past, Yue Yi's purple eyes are full of agility now, and his gaze is focused. Even if the face is stained by mud, it can't hide the deep charm of those eyes. Not long after leaving, Yue Yi couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, looking at the deserted street, he was also slightly puzzled, even the vendors were very scarce today.
In the past month, he has been begging on the streets almost every day, sometimes he can only rely on his appearance to be scary, and the food that others left when they fled was picked up and eaten by Yue Yi. Because there were many people at that time, this trick still worked.
Now that he is back to normal, he wanted to beg as a normal beggar, but he expected to encounter this situation now.
"What's going on today, even if there are many people who are seeking, with the scale of this city, there will not be three or five people walking on the streets. Yue Yi thought about it, looked around, and found that a few people were hurrying towards the center of the city, and it seemed that they could still hear their voices.
"I said, why did you wake me up so late, I guess it's all started. A middle-aged fat man said dissatisfied.
A thin man immediately retorted: "What's the matter, it's obvious that you drank too much last night, and who is to blame for not getting up today." ”
"Okay, okay, let's go, this kind of excitement still has to be put together. ”
"I'm picking up your ...... there"
After listening to their conversation, Yue Yi thought about it, there should be something going on in the middle of the city, so everyone went to join in the fun, there should be a lot of people there, just go there to find something to eat, Yue Yi also followed the two in front of him unhurriedly.
In the center of the city, there is a large circular ring, with big drums erected on both sides of the ring, and a very atmospheric viewing platform is set up in the north direction of the ring, and several old men in black robes sit on both sides of the seat. And in the center is an old man in a brocade robe, his eyes are peaceful, but his expression is not angry, and at first glance he is a person who has been in a high position for many years, and next to him sits a young woman.
The woman is wearing tulle, although she can't see her face clearly, but with that light temperament, she knows that she is a beauty.
The east and west south of the ring is the audience, and at this moment many people have gathered, surrounding the ring, all kinds of noisy noises are overwhelming, and many people are looking at the audience on the other side of the ring, wanting to see the veiled woman's face.
"Hey, have you heard, today the Fu family set up a ring competition, you see, even the daughter of the Fu family has come out, it is rare on weekdays, is it a competition to recruit relatives?"
"It is said that some guards are recruited to accompany the eldest lady on the mission, and the head of the Fu family will consider whether it is suitable for this operation from among the contestants, according to everyone's performance, of course, it is said that the top ten have rich rewards. A strong man replied in a low voice, since there was a good reward, then he would definitely give it a try.
I believe that as long as you have confidence in yourself, you will fight for it, after all, this kind of opportunity is not common.
This Fu family is the most prestigious family in Araki City, so they search for rare medicinal materials in the desert all year round, and the things they get are extremely precious, and they are sold at sky-high prices at auctions, which can be said to have monopolized all the medicinal herb stores in Araki City.
Yue Yi, who had just arrived here, was secretly listening to the conversation of those people on the side, and suddenly realized that it was because of this, and muttered to himself: "It seems to be a good errand, but the top priority is to find food first." ”
"This lord, can you ......" Yue Yi found someone who seemed to be relatively wealthy, and immediately walked in front of him and said.
"Where did the stinky beggar come from, it smells bad and dies, go for a walk, don't come. ”
Before Yue Yi could finish speaking, the man drove Yue Yi away in disgust.
Yue Yi was not surprised, and immediately walked to another person, but they were all closed, and now everyone is looking forward to the start of the ring match, watching a wonderful fight, how can they have time to pay attention to Yue Yi.
At this time, a slightly capable person in a white robe slowly walked into the center of the ring, and said to everyone: "Deacon in the Xia Fu family, Fu Tai, thanks to your love, I will be the referee this time, because my Fu family has found a precious medicinal herb, and this operation needs some manpower, so the ring is opened, and the top ten people with the strongest strength will go together, and I will talk about the rules below." ”
"There are not many restrictions on the rules of the competition, and according to convention, crossing the ring line, surrendering voluntarily, or being defeated are considered lost, but they cannot be killed. Contestants first go to both sides of the stage to receive the number, we will draw lots to decide, the number of the number holder will go to the stage to compete, if more than ten voices do not see a figure, it will be regarded as automatic abandonment. ”
Everyone in the audience looked at Voltaine with some fear, thinking that they had heard of this person's name, Voltaie was a master who was about to step into the silver body realm, and almost no one in the silver body realm could win him. In the prison world, no matter what your background is, as long as you have strength, you are respected by everyone.
"The top 10 will get 10,000 wasted coins, and there will be additional rewards when they return from the mission. For the first place, we will also give away an additional precious medicinal herb and be qualified to serve as our lady's personal escort in this operation. If you win three games in a row, you can occupy one of the ten places and wait for the final competition, which will be held in an hour. ”
Voltai's voice echoed unhurriedly in the ring.
Everyone listened carefully to the rules, and then they all nodded, when they heard what Fu Tai said, the first person who can be the personal guard of the Fu family's daughter, immediately red-eyed, this is a good opportunity, this operation must have some time, maybe there is still a chance, in case it is taken by the Fu family's daughter, then the future cultivation road is like a fish in water.
Yue Yi instantly became excited, what he cared about was not the personal guard of the Fu family's daughter, but the wasted coins and medicinal materials, and immediately ran to the registration office, wanting to get the number with the deacon of the Fu family.
"Go, go, beggar, don't make a mess, take this fruit, and stay there. "When a deacon saw a beggar who wanted to receive the number, he felt that it was detrimental to his image, so he immediately gave Yue Yi a fruit. If a beggar gets into the ring and doesn't say anything, others will think that the threshold of their Fu family is too low, and anyone can participate, which makes the family that cherishes feathers intolerable.
Before Yue Yi could explain, he was kicked out, holding a fruit and smiling bitterly: "Since you can't report your name, it's not bad to get a fruit, I'll see if there is a chance to let the deacon of the Fu family give me something to eat later." ”
Yue Yi ate the fruit with his dirty hands with relish, and glanced at the fruits placed on the viewing platform from time to time, as well as the big barbecue, the barbecue looked particularly attractive, which made Yue Yi, who had not eaten oil and water for a month, have an urge to grab it, but he immediately resisted the impulse and comforted himself: "Don't worry, these big families shouldn't care about those things that are eaten, they are just used to put them away, and after they are disbanded, just take the sheep with their hands." ”
Yue Yi had already begun to plan how to get those food as soon as possible after the end of the game.
At this time, at the entrances on both sides of the ring, there were many participants, and it took nearly half an hour to finish receiving the number. Everyone waited boredly for the time to come, just looking at the people around them, their eyes full of hostility, these were the opponents to come.
"I said, just like you, it's too long to be idle, right?" said a bald man with his hands to his chest, and said to a man next to him, his voice slightly provocative.
"Why not, having no muscles doesn't necessarily mean that you have strength. The diminutive man said disdainfully.
None of the people here are soft-boned, they are all here to survive, and in the eyes of these outlaws, there is no word for fear.
"What did you say, believe it or not, I tore you up right away?"
"Do you have the ability to try?"
Just when the two sides were tense, a deacon came over and shouted angrily: "What is the quarrel, the waiting area prohibits fighting, and then you will be disqualified." ”
Turning around and leaving, these are some unruly people, and only these deacons of the Fu family can make them obedient. Sure enough, when the two men heard the deacon's angry shouts, they immediately restrained a lot, and the deacon of the Fu family still had a certain authority, but their eyes were full of killing intent when they looked at each other.
And these phenomena were also playing out on the other side, Yue Yi looked at the noisy waiting area, and also shook his head. He was tired of fighting and the like, and now he just likes to enjoy a quiet life, if it weren't for finding something to eat, he wouldn't come back to join in the fun, he hadn't eaten a good meal in the past month, he was hungry every day, and he lost a lot of weight.
"Wow, where did the stinky beggar come from, the smell on his body wants to vomit, get out of the way. ”
"Hey, it's really unlucky, you want to eat elsewhere......"
Wherever Yue Yi passed, everyone avoided it, which also made him quite helpless, and after a while, he squeezed to the east, walked to the front, and laughed at himself: "Others can't come to the front with their heads squeezed, I can come to the front to watch just because of the smell, should I be grateful for the smell on my body, or should I hate it?"
"Okay, everyone, the hour has come, the fourth and seventh, go on stage to compete, remember, don't kill, the game begins!" Voltai's voice sounded slowly.
