Chapter 43: The Arena

Walking through the bustling business district, Zhu Jue and others entered the living area located on the inner floor. Compared with the bustle outside www.biquge.info it is much quieter here, and the greening is also good. Houses of various styles are scattered, and the roads are lined with light-colored flowers. From time to time, someone walks by talking and laughing, but they are all softly talking, which shows that this is indeed a good place to live and rest.

It didn't take much effort for them to find a nice inn. Since Qiushui's money was all cheated by the old man when he crossed the river, Lin Lin could only pay for it. Fortunately, Lin Lin also brought a lot of money from home, and it was more than enough to rent two rooms for a few days.

"By the way, why did Lin Lin and I also sign up inexplicably?" At this moment, Zhu Jue was lying lazily on the bed, and said to Qiushui with some dissatisfaction.

Qiushui sat on the chair next to him, stared at the Tiansha in his hand, and said without looking back: "It's good that we can participate in this selection, what is there to complain about." As for you, do you think that you, an ordinary person, can meet such a character as the Rain Emperor? If you can't even meet face-to-face, how can you ask him to help you find a way to go back to the original world? Therefore, you still have to join the escort team before you can have this qualification. ”

Lin Lin was helping the two of them pack their luggage on the side, and when she heard Qiushui's words, she immediately smiled and said: "I don't care, it's just that this time the young elites from all over the country have gathered, and it is still two to say whether they can win or not, after all, the entire selection only recruits only eight people." She paused, then changed her words: "It would be a good thing if I could join the escort team." The Chen family in Hongyan City, relying on the emergence of a Chen Xian in their own family, has been very arrogant in the past few years, and they are almost no longer taking my father, the city lord, in their eyes. If I can fight for my father, this trip will not be in vain. ”

Speaking of Chenxian, Qiushui remembered the fierce battle in Hongyan City again. At that time, even if he had the help of the power of the Heavenly Evil, he only injured Chen Xian's fur, and in the end, if Lin Yuan hadn't appeared in time, he would probably have been defeated by Chen Xian's men on the spot. Along the way, although his strength has improved, he still has to be cautious.

"You can sleep well today, and when we get up early tomorrow, we will go to the arena to explore the way first, so as not to miss the hour." Lin Lin finished finishing the things for the two of them, and explained a few words casually, then pushed the door out and went back to his room. At this moment, the lights outside the window are gradually dimming, as if to remind the people in the city that it is time to rest. Before falling asleep, Qiushui glanced at the red bracelet on his wrist and muttered, "Escort, I'm here!" and then gently blew out the candle next to the bed.

Early the next morning, Lin Lin came to knock on the door outside. Zhu Jue and Qiushui obviously hadn't woken up yet, they were urged to get up and wash up, and it took a long time to go downstairs. Before going out, Lin Lin specially asked the shopkeeper of the inn to inquire about the route of the arena. When the shopkeeper heard that several people had also come to participate in the selection, he hurriedly took out a map, presented it with a smile, and described in detail how it was more convenient to get there. Everyone knows that having a good relationship with the people of the escort team is the foundation of gaining a foothold in Rain City, not to mention these shrewd businessmen, and they will not miss the slightest opportunity to curry favor with this group of possible future escort elites.

"The arena is in the corner of the living area, a small piece of land known as the recreation area. Lin Lin pointed to the map and read there. Qiushui pursed his lips and said with some disapproval: "Didn't the boss describe it in detail just now, and what kind of map are you looking at?" At this time, Zhu Jue yawned behind him, and he didn't seem to have woken up yet. In fact, it's no wonder that he has been working hard in the past two days, and he snored all night yesterday, making Zhu Jue next to him almost not fall asleep.

A few people followed the direction indicated on the map, and it didn't take long to find a huge white oval-shaped building in front of them, which looked like a white turtle from a distance, lying quietly on the empty field in front of them.

"This is it!" Lin Lin looked at the map and then at the building in front of him, and said with great certainty.

"Wow, I didn't expect this arena to be so atmospheric. Let's go, go over and have a look!" Qiushui suddenly came to his senses and quickened his pace and walked forward.

A few people walked outside the arena and saw a hand-drawn diagram posted on the door. I saw that the entire arena was divided into two circles, the inner and outer circles, and the outer circle was divided into four areas, which were called the outer halls. There is a ring in each outer hall, and each ring has 200 seats for spectators, which is already a very large space. The vast majority of this ellipse belongs to the inner pavilion. Looking at the map alone, the size of the inner hall ring is five times the size of the outer hall, and what is even more surprising is that it can accommodate 3,000 people at the same time. With such a large space, it's no wonder people from all over the country come out of the way to visit this huge event.

At this time, there was a faint burst of cheers and shouts in the arena, and it seemed that someone was fighting inside.

"There seems to be someone inside, let's go in and have a look. Qiushui stepped forward and was about to enter, but was stopped by a middle-aged man who suddenly appeared. This person has rough eyebrows and a Chinese face, and seems to be a staff member here. He coughed, and then said to Qiushui and the others in a somewhat hoarse accent, "Several, please show your bracelets." ”

Qiushui was stunned for a moment, then rolled up his sleeves to reveal the red bracelet. When Lin Lin and Zhu Jue saw it, they also drew a scoop with a gourd and stretched out their arms.

After the inspection, the staff member bowed to them and continued: "Before the start of the trials, the four outer halls of the arena are open to those who have successfully registered, and everyone can learn from each other, but it is strictly forbidden to make trouble and fight, and violators will be disqualified from participating in the competition and handed over to the escort team depending on the severity of the situation." ”

Qiushui and the others nodded, and then walked in together. The outer hall corresponding to the door where they entered was Hall No. 1, and as soon as the three of them entered, they saw two figures standing in the ring. On closer inspection, it was a white-haired girl and a strong black man, who seemed to be fighting. I saw that the woman's hands were like soft wattles, her skin was like clotted fat, her collar was like a grub, her teeth were like rhinoceros, her eyebrows were full of arrogance, her white hair was draped around her waist, and the whole person exuded a special cold temperament. As for the man, he was full of muscles, his face was fierce, and his bare upper body was tattooed with several poisonous snakes. At this moment, there were no less than 30 people in the ring, all raising their arms and cheering for the people they supported, and the scene was quite lively for a while.

"Brother Lei, come on, don't lose to a woman!"

"Snow Maiden, give him some color!"

At this moment, the white-haired woman stretched out a slender hand and tapped towards the man seemingly casually. The man did not dare to relax in the slightest, and hurriedly dodged to the side. In the blink of an eye, a layer of white frost condensed where he had just stood.

"Thunder Tooth Kick!" the man leaped to his feet, his body spun in the air in an incredible way, bringing up bursts of lightning, and then kicked at the woman. The woman didn't dodge or dodge, she directly stretched out her hands in front of her, and said softly: "Snow shield, Ning!" Suddenly, a wall of ice dozens of centimeters thick appeared in front of the woman and collided with the man. The man's moves, though seemingly powerful, left only a few shallow scratches on the ice wall, and then he never got the slightest bit in.

The corners of the woman's mouth rose slightly, and then she grabbed her hands forward. "Frozen!" The ice wall instantly dispersed, turning into a white cold air, enveloping the man, and in the blink of an eye, he was solidly frozen into an ice cube, and fell to the ground with a thud.

"Solution!" the woman pointed again, and the ice on the man's body quickly melted. I saw that he was already soaked, and at this moment he trembled and bowed to the woman: "Snow Maiden is very skilled, she will lose in the next seat." Seeing this, the audience resounded with enthusiastic cheers and whistles. The white-haired woman bent down slightly and saluted the audience.

"I didn't expect to see such a strong opponent as soon as I came, the selection competition is really exciting!" Qiushui's eyes lit up, staring at the ring tightly, and said with a fanatical expression.
