Chapter 27: The Underground Colosseum
CHAPTER XXVII
Batista's roar resounded in the gladiator school, which was very rare for him, Battista was a stoic and unusually resolute man, he rarely lost his temper in front of people, even in front of his wife Lucrecia, but now the pressure on the gladiator school erupted after Batista heard that Cress was injured and could not participate in underground gladiatorial fights.
Batista's anger is not only because of Cress's injury, but because the timing of his injury is too clever, Battista is not a stupid person, he vaguely suspects that Lucrista is hiding something from him, but now Battista has too many things to deal with, he has no time to investigate this matter in detail, he can only show his anger to warn Lucresia.
Kress was indeed injured, and Lucricia's knife was extremely ruthless in order to ensure that he could not participate in the underground gladiatorial fight, and the dagger was almost completely inserted into Kress's body, and he was injured more seriously than Spartacus had received before. What bothered Batista was not this, his sworn enemy Assas asked the consul to fulfill his promise and complete the contract with Assas, Batista wanted to take advantage of Spartacus's morale to kill all the powerful gladiators of Assas in one fell swoop, but the gladiators invited by Assas this time made Batista frightened.
This time, Assas invited the free gladiator Shadow of Death, whose original name has long been forgotten, and everyone only remembers the death and horror that his appearance will bring. Shadow of Death participated in more than 100 gladiatorial battles throughout the Roman Empire, in which he not only won all of them, but only Docot survived more than 100 gladiatorial battles. If Cress was the gladiator god of war in Capua, then the shadow of death was the gladiator god of the entire Roman Empire.
Even if Assas promised to have Batista send another of his best gladiators to work with Spartacus and challenge the Shadow of Death, Batista didn't think he could win. Assas wanted to deliver the most lethal blow to Batista when he was struggling, but Batista could not disagree with the fight, because the consul had agreed. The consul would announce to the whole of Capua that, in order to pray for rain, Capua had invited the Roman gladiatorial gods, Shadow of Death, and Spartacus to fight. If Batista does not agree, Capua will no longer have a place for him to stand.
"Spartacus, I've heard from your wife Sula, as long as you survive tonight, I'll arrange for you to meet tomorrow!" Battista brought Spartacus out of the dungeon with a gloomy face, followed by the Carthaginian beast Barka and the Azul, who was in charge of his purse.
"I'm going to survive!" Spartacus did not hesitate in the slightest, he left the dungeon to join Battista in the underground gladiatorial battle, he wanted to see Sulla, even if it was for the promise of Batista, a man he did not trust, to fight for his life.
"I'll go with you!" Lin Li glanced at Spartacus's wound that had not yet fully healed and followed him out of the dungeon, Battista nodded, and called out another gladiator from the dungeon, and the six people left the gladiator school and disappeared into the dark streets. There are also very powerful characters in the underground gladiatorial arena, according to the original plot, although Spartacus was very difficult, he still survived in the underground gladiatorial arena, but the original plot was based on the fact that he was not injured, and now Spartacus is injured, Lin Li is not worried that he will pass like this.
The underground gladiatorial arena is indeed underground, and here in the corner of Capua, it seems to have been an abandoned mining area, and the mine tunnels were opened and connected to form the current underground gladiatorial arena. In this era, there were no such places as night markets, and there were not many people wandering the streets of Capua at night, but here, a very large number of people gathered, and the level of noise was no less than that of modern night markets. …,
Entering the underground gladiatorial arena, a strong smell of blood mixed with the smell of sweat penetrated into Lin Li's nostrils, this smell was even worse than the smell of corpses, but Lin Li was used to smelling the smell of corpses, and almost felt that the air was originally that smell, and now this smell made Lin Li frown in disgust.
"Kill him, kill him, kill him!"
"Kill him, kill him!"
The frenzied sound outside the arena echoed through the huge pit, and even a few rocks and sand were shaken off the top of the pit, and the battle between the two gladiators in the colosseum was almost over, and one of them knocked the other to the ground with some stiff skin covering his face. The gladiator, known as the Ghost-faced Man, enjoyed a frenzied cry, picked up the rusty iron sword on the ground, and actually peeled off the entire face of the gladiator lying on the ground. After that, he put the skin stained with blood and lymphatic fluid into his own face with iron wire, and Lin Li saw that the thick layer of dead skin on his face turned out to be the face of the person he killed.
Batista negotiated with the owner of the underground gladiatorial arena for a while, and the man hiding in the shadows threw a 'jingle' money bag, which Batista looked like he was not satisfied with, but he did not argue with the man in the shadows, and took Spartacus and another gladiator out of the fight.
"If you want to see Sula, you will live!" Batista brought Spartacus and the gladiator to the arbiter, and the two gladiators faced their opponent and began to draw weapons, the arbiter had a lot of weapons there, and each side of the gladiator drew weapons by luck.
"Oh, we survived the Death Fight with the great Spartacus drawn the Bronze Ring, and our horrible Slayer drew the Spikes, and it seems that the god of luck did not favor our great Spartacus. Spartacus, this is the real battle to the death, now start enjoying the little time you have left alive! The arbiter was a tall black man with pigtails, and his voice was full of hideousness and thick blood.
Spartacus's enemy is the so-called 'killer', the underground gladiatorial arena seems to be full of people with abnormal heads, this killer did not attack Spartacus first, but used the weapon he drawn, the glove full of sharp nails into his mouth, made his mouth bloody and blurred, and then spat out a mouthful of blood at Spartacus, and laughed fiercely.
This dot matrix naturally couldn't scare Spartacus, Spartacus stared coldly at the gladiator in front of him, this gladiator took a step forward, the gladiator's thick legs just lifted, and at the moment when it was about to fall, Spartacus moved violently.
Spartacus learned so much at the gladiator school, before coming to the gladiator school Spartacus was a reckless tiger, but now he has become a cunning wolf with the strength of a tiger, and the wolf will always strike a fatal blow when the enemy shows his flaws.
Spartacus used his terrifying explosive power to instantly close the distance between him and the killer, and his heavy fist slammed into the killer's nose, which is one of the most fragile organs of the human face, and once the punch hits the enemy's nose bone and is smashed, the sharp pain caused by this moment can even make an adult incapacitated.
Under normal circumstances, in the face of such a sudden attack, the attacked person would inevitably retreat and dodge, and then look for an opportunity to fight back, but the killer only tilted his head slightly, and seemed to use his head to bear Spartacus's heavy punch, and the killer's hand with a spiked glove directly smashed a hook viciously into Spartacus's abdomen. Maybe the gladiators of the underground gladiatorial arena are all crazy, but it cannot be denied that they are all crazy people who are the best at killing.
