Chapter 17: Blood Arena (3)

Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

From a distance, the town was chaotic, but after walking some distance, when the three of them stepped into the blood-soaked brown ground, the seemingly crumbling wooden house seemed to be stripped of illusion and transformed into a magnificent city. Different from the elaborate elves and the ancient dwarves, on the walls, pillars, and even the bricks and stones laid on the ground, instead of flowers and animals are decorated with fierce beasts that symbolize power, heavy black and bloody red are the only two colors, and everywhere is breathless oppression.

"It's ...... Hallucination?" After a few seconds of pause, Asa was the first to ask.

The demonic bloodline made it easier for Vera to reveal the true nature of the city than humans, and she was in a rare mood to give an answer, "No, what you see now is its true face." ”

Link on the side was expressionless, not knowing what he was thinking. Vera knew that Link must be thinking about something important, and she didn't bother, and Asa stood quietly aside. It took a long time for Link to come back to his senses, "This illusion is not simple. ”

"Didn't you say it wasn't a hallucination?" Before the words could be spoken, Asa felt Vera's gaze almost burn two holes in her back.

"Are you deaf? I can't tell the difference between hallucinations and hallucinations. ”

Link raised his hand, stopping Vera from scolding further.

"These seemingly haphazard buildings are not built haphazardly, but are repaired according to some kind of law. I've just probed it with my senses, and I've determined that the entire city itself is a giant circle. ”

He wasn't in contemplation just now, but went into a semi-meditative state to observe his surroundings.

The outermost low wooden houses form the basic ring of the circle, the uneven middle buildings form the runes, and the innermost and core energy source of the circle is the arena. If I'm not mistaken, this is supposed to be a huge place of sacrifice, for those who fight for fame, money, and even freedom. All of them became sacrifices.

Due to the particularity of the geographical location, the Dawn Sect could not enter the Southern Yanzhou, and the orcs themselves were in the chaotic camp, coupled with the existence of the Great Pit, even if a mage was aware of it, he would not poke this matter out. After all, the mages who would come here were not good people. Why do you want to do a thankless job, to be able to set up such a huge magic circle, it is either a great demon or an evil god of the chaotic camp. Unless his head is caught in the door, he will risk his life to report to the Dawn Sect. Besides, dealing with the undead heading south alone has exhausted most of the Dawn Sect's energy, and compared to its past rivals, the Dawn Sect is more focused on the newly rising undead empire. I have no intention of caring about this outside of my power and jurisdiction.

Asa remembered the mercenaries with bad intentions when he first arrived in town. Those can't be illusions, right? I clearly felt my breath and my heartbeat.

"Those people ......"

"It's just ordinary people who don't have much ability. Although we are in the same area, we are in a different space. The crumbling wooden houses and dirty streets are real, as are the grand palace-like cities, but they are divided by spatial magic. This not only saves some unnecessary trouble, but also saves the process of checking one by one. ”

Asa was confused, but it was not good to ask any more. The overall mood is slightly gloomy, and some dark shadows have emerged from the streets. If the little monsters that ran around before were harmless to humans and animals, then these black shadows with only vague body shapes were much more dangerous.

"Hide first, we'll deal with it here. ”

This sentence is addressed to the shadow thief with low combat effectiveness, as for Vera. Lin Ketong guò consciousness informed, you can vent appropriately, but don't make too much movement.

Boom -

The whole street was baptized by blazing flames, and not only the shadows, but also the ill-intentioned people hiding in the shadows. The agile ones were only slightly burned, and they rolled on the ground a few times before they could retreat, and then extinguished the lighted clothes.

Link didn't move, his eyes staring straight into the dark corner at the end of the street. In a moment, a figure in a black robe stepped out.

"It's been a long time since I've seen such a pure fire element. The visitor was not at all embarrassed that his hiding place had been discovered, and his hoarse voice matched the eerie environment here.

Although the body was concealed with a wide robe, the elements surrounding the body revealed the man's identity, a mage.

In the same way, the mage is looking at new outsiders. Although a hybrid of elves and demons is rare, he is more interested in the other, oh...... The premise is that he is really human. The human form, but with the breath of a beast, is well disguised, but it is not without a trace.

"What is this?" Link's undulating tone was not very inaudible.

"Ah~ Please don't mind, this is the rule here, if the newcomer can't even deal with the lowliest phantom, he is not qualified to set foot in the Blood Arena. Master Yun explained lightly that his aura was not very strong, giving people the feeling that it was the stage of enlightenment, but he was strolling around in such a dangerous place, and the sense of abruptness was very strong.

"It's also the rule here to give special explanations to first-time visitors?"

Link's tone remained the same, but the mage felt a rush of coercion, surprised and puzzled.

Deliberately hiding his strength before, why is it revealing it now?

"It's just curious, after all, half-elves mixed with demon blood are rare. As soon as the mage finished speaking, Vera's flames turned into a long whip and whipped it with great urgency.

Syllable!

The ground was struck by the whip, and rubble flew everywhere. The mage was no longer in place, and the whole person turned into an afterimage and retreated sharply.

Vera's face sank and she chased after her. She hadn't taken a few steps before she stopped and looked back behind Link, where there was a man standing at some point.

Asa hid in the shadows, noticing the man's arrival before Vera, and after seeing the other man's face clearly, he hesitated. It was the 'champion' of the arena where the lizard was ridden that I saw when I rode the caravan carriage before.

"I knew it was a thorny rose, and you still looked at it. A sarcastic voice echoed through the empty streets.

"No way, who made me can't help it as soon as I see a beauty. The afterimage dissipated, turning into a white light that teleported directly to Link's vicinity. The mage lifted his hood, revealing a youthful face that didn't match his voice. He looks like he's in his early twenties.

Vera was furious, and the flame elemental around her doubled, and at that moment, Link made a gesture to her.

Wait, they have no ill intentions. 】

[But ......]

[You and I together are enough to overcome them, don't be impatient, look at their intentions first. There are so many masters here, even if they beat these two, there are others. It's impossible to pick them all, and then my identity will be exposed. 】

[Got it.] 】

After Link's persuasion, the grumpy Vera relented once again.

The corner of the mage's eyes kept staring at the oblique back, and when he saw the half-elf mixed with demonic blood, he couldn't help but turn his attention to Link.

The street is dimly lit. Even night vision eyes may not be able to see the expression on the face, let alone the eyes. There are no languages. I can't communicate directly with you by looking at words...... Demon?!

What is the origin of this man? Elves have no affection for humans, and if they are captured as slaves, they will even protest in a violent way by committing suicide. Looking at the way she looks, don't want to be mentally charged, voluntarily?

"It's rude, two. An aristocratic arena champion explained with a Shindu accent. "We just wanted to test your strength. ”

"And?" Link turned his back to the mage, who was in the open space, but the mage couldn't think of temptation.

"If you can't give a reasonable explanation. I'm not going to leave it at that. In this kind of place where the law of the jungle is the law of the jungle, tolerance is a sign of weakness, and Link replied with a rare toughness. If you retreat once, you will attract more sneak attacks.

"Invite you two to join. The aristocratic champion spoke amazingly, and then he gave an explanation.

The crack in the Great Pit leads to the abyss, and while many monsters follow this crack unimpeded into the material realm, some mages who pursue power also try to enter the abyss through Guò. It is a space where the weak cannot stand on it, and mages who are not strong enough will never dare to set foot lightly, and too strong strength will be blocked by the spatial fault between the material world and the abyss, and the best way is to enter the abyss by reverse summoning. How could the evil and cunning demon agree to such a selfless condition, in the end, the agreement reached was to swap places, and the power that the enchantment could withstand was also limited, how high the mage rank was in the past, how strong the demon who entered the material realm was.

In order to compete for a limited number of places, the mages set up a temporary competition place next to the big pit, and over time, in addition to the mages, there were also black market merchants and mercenaries who wanted money and didn't want to die.

[Is that reliable?] Vera asked.

[It's not completely blind, I'm afraid it's difficult to tear apart the enchantment between spaces with the power of a few mages, it was built by the first generations to protect the material world.] If a large circle is built and sacrifices are constantly made with blood and negativity, it is possible that the demons in the abyss will expand the rift enough to withstand their passage. Link felt a bit credible, but he came to the big trap purely to pass by, and while fighting the slave trade, he was looking for a few suitable members by the way, and he didn't plan to play in the arena.

[Do you want to say yes?] Vera's tone was unconcealably excited.

Link obviously didn't expect this, [What, you're interested in the arena?]

[I want to improve my strength as much as possible, here I don't have to worry too much about the bloodline, I can use the power of the devil to the fullest.] 】

So that's it...... Relying too much on divine power, after changing factions, the rank will fall to the expert level. Link knew what Doyle and Vera were thinking, and they must be afraid that they would become a burden to their feet, so they would be anxious to move up the ranks.

[Well, most of the people who come here are aiming for the arena, and if we don't participate, it will look suspicious. After a conversation with Vera, Link temporarily changed his mind.

Seeing that he had been silent, the two inviters, who had already lost hope, heard Link's agreed-to-answer reply.

"It depends on what kind of conditions you can offer. (To be continued......)
