Chapter 17: The Bloody Storm Gladiatorial Arena
The Bloody Storm Colosseum is located between the inner and outer cities of the Howling Wind Gathering Area, connecting the inner and outer cities.
This is the largest casino, arena, and slave trading market in the entire Howling Wind Gathering Area.
Very few of the slaves bought here will be willing to serve you, and they can only perform the kind of bloody battles for you. But on the other hand, if you get the gladiators in the Bloody Storm Gladiatorial Arena above the intermediate level, it is definitely a powerful boost, and each of them is a tough guy who rushes back and forth in the hundreds of zombies.
And the enemies of gladiators are definitely not the same kind, but zombies. First-order zombies, those zombies who were attracted here by blood.
There is a tunnel in the gathering place, which stretches tens of thousands of meters away, and the wide tunnel is a former underground waterway, which is used by the leader of the Howling Wind to attract zombies for the gladiators to slaughter. also wantonly converged on the mourning crystal. It's like playing a game card bug before the end of the world.
Bloody Storm Colosseum Intermediate Field. At this time, it was frantically doing publicity, and after half a month of overwhelming advertising, it was officially announced that the Intermediate District Slaughterer Contest would be held today. In addition to the first place, the winners of the competition will participate in the auction and sell to the big people who control most of the materials in the gathering place.
Zheng Yifan never thought of himself as a big man, but he still came here calmly. Because this is also a crazy place for ordinary people.
At the gate, there are more than 20 betting outlets, and the bet amount is not limited. The betting shop accepts any material bet and has strict standards for redemption, with the final standard unit of measurement being the Lost Crystal.
The gladiatorial arena is more than 30 meters high and magnificent, and the original appearance of reinforced concrete will definitely not have any beauty.
The gladiatorial arena is as big as a football field. The surrounding stands were already filled with spectators watching the game.
Of course, the big names are in the private rooms, and the people who watch the games outside are some gamblers, who put all their lives on their favorite gladiators, and if they win, they will go to various entertainment venues in the inner city to squander, and if they lose, they will organize their partners the next day, go outside to search for supplies, and then come back to play.
Over and over again, few people will accumulate supplies.
It's not worth it.
Walking into the bloody storm gladiatorial arena, you can feel the hysterical roar, this was originally the playground of the village elementary school, and you can vaguely see the position of the primary school on the opposite rostrum, but it has been trimmed beyond recognition by the howling wind.
The whole passage is from the bottom to the top, and when Zheng Yifan came to the stands, it was already full of people, under the high platform was the overall pile of walls, hard Cheng dรน was even stronger than the outer city wall, there were seven gladiators inside at this time sorting out their weapons, and the surrounding weapon racks were full of all kinds of weapons for them to choose, these weapons were carefully selected, even the city guards of the leader of the howling wind were not all equipped with these weapons.
Of course, limited to weapons, the so-called gladiators are warriors who fight with flesh and blood, and if each person wears a piece of armor, who would go to watch this brain-dead game?
"There is no Zuo Baoguo in the gladiatorial arena, and with his skills, he should be going to participate in the Slayer Competition." Han Rui's silver teeth creaked.
The Slayer Tournament was the only chance for gladiators to be free, as the first place winner in the tournament would be freed unconditionally, while the others would be sold as a one-time commodity to the bigwigs.
They don't need victorious generals in the gladiatorial arena, they want games that can bring blood, bring casualties.
In the oppressive environment of the last days, people need blood, death, and the courage to die with zombies.
The Slayer Tournament is the toughest battle before retirement, in which the winner will have a chance to continue to live, and if he loses, he will die completely. Not even a chance to turn into a zombie.
In the intermediate area of ordinary battles, each gladiator faces a fixed number of zombies. Or five, ten, or even 100 people per person.
The Slayer Tournament, on the other hand, did not, requiring the gladiators to face an almost endless stream of zombies for half an hour before blocking the underground passages and allowing them to spend the rest of the time cleaning up the zombies.
In previous Slayer Tournaments, the average survival rate was 30%, and the most survivors of the tournament did not even exceed half of the people who survived. And more of them were wiped out, and no one survived.
Finding a place casually, Zheng Yifan and Han Rui sat down. At this point, they just need to watch the game, it's still early, and it's all a warm-up for the Slayer Tournament. A match will take about an hour and will be divided into five battles. It lasts until the afternoon, and then goes to the auction house in the Colosseum of Bloody Storms.
There were not only slave auctions, but also some strange things and precious goods. Auction here.
The whole afternoon was a shopping carnival, and the bigwigs spent their supplies and mourning crystals to make the whole gathering place have more supplies, so that more people could live, and then continue to contribute to their accumulation of wealth. Sooner or later, the materials that those people had worked so hard for would return to the hands of the big men, and they would be further fattened.
Everyone knows that this is a dead cycle, but they are willing to do it, who knows if they will be able to open their eyes smoothly tomorrow?
"Kill! Bone Crusher, today you are a hero, you will definitely win, I put all the mourning crystals earned this week on you, let me defeat those ugly zombies and let Uncle Zhou make a fortune. In front of Zheng Yifan, there was a pure card gambler, with an excited expression on his meaty face, and he kept screaming hysterically.
This is a common phenomenon, almost all the people roared like this, the passionate roar in the entire gladiatorial arena never stopped, Zheng Yifan and Han Rui are definitely the other in the gladiatorial arena, their attitude is even similar to those big names in the VIP room hiding in the stands, but they are not wearing luxurious clothes and drinking high-end red wine that is more precious than gold in the last days, a thousand times.
Lying lazily on the back of the stands, looking at the gladiatorial arena with burning eyes.
The gladiatorial fight began, and the reinforced concrete walls were enough to prevent most of the zombies from climbing to the stands, and those high-level zombies that only appeared in cities and towns would not enter through the underground waterways.
For those powerful zombies, walking through the underground water is simply an insult, or a threat, although they may not know what an insult is, or it may be that the space of the underground water channel is really difficult for those big guys to pass through, and there is really no zombie above the second order.
"Titicaca!" The fence opened, and an ugly zombie crawled out of the underground passage, like a demon from hell, and pounced on the gladiator in front of him.
The surrounding stands were more popular, but they didn't look at the stands as if they knew something.
Zheng Yifan looked carefully, and the walls of the gladiatorial arena were covered with a kind of lilac creeper, but wherever there was a wall creeper on the wall, the zombies would not approach.
After a week of understanding, Zheng Yifan knew that this plant was called eggplant lilac, which could effectively block the detection of first-order zombies, isolate first-order zombies, and exude a smell that disgusted first-order zombies. Of course, for high-level zombies, this plant can provoke their anger even more, and completely destroy this plant.
Obviously, they grow very well in the gladiatorial arena, there are no high-level zombies here, even if it is the Slayer Competition, there will definitely be no high-level zombies.
They simply can't deal with it, they can't defeat those terrible monsters.
